Karen Betts, founder of HD Brows and Nouveau Lashes, is one of the originators of SPMU in the UK. She got into the trade after a childhood friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and lost all of her hair, including her lashes and brows.

Now, Betts is one of the most well-respected SPMU artists in the industry, especially in the oncology space for reconstructing nipples, brows and more, in turn restoring confidence to those who have lost it.

Betts has also treated a lot of celebrities over the years, including Katie Piper, Arlene Phillips and Amy Childs.
