In a world where beauty tends to be standardised, Sabrina Eléonore’s story stands as a testimony of sensitivity, art and humanity. Founder of the international firm Un Jour Un Regard, Sabrina has built an intimate and revealing aesthetic universe, where each face recovers its essence through a handcrafted gesture, deeply personalised and always focused on elevating natural beauty beyond fashions and standards.
It all began with an indelible image: a street scene in Africa where a man, with only a needle and charcoal, restored colour to the scarred skin of a woman scarred by acid. That moment, brutal and beautiful in its compassion, was the spark that ignited Eléonore’s vocation. Back in France, moved and inspired, she began a training process that combined artistic techniques – such as 19th century pointillism – with a deeply spiritual philosophy of care.
But it would be the bamboo technique, learned and perfected after years of travel and research with traditional communities in Asia and Polynesia, that would define her signature. Without machines, without automatisms, with the delicacy of a manual gesture, Sabrina has elevated micropigmentation to a dermo-aesthetic art form that restores facial harmony without altering identity and preserving natural beauty.
The first Un Jour Un Regard salon opened its doors in the Passy district of Paris as a place of serenity and sophistication. That place discreetly attracted a select clientele: personalities such as Isabel Preysler, Naty Abascal, Nieves Álvarez or Hiba Abouk have connected with Sabrina’s philosophy, a natural and elegant image.
After the Parisian success, international expansion came organically. In New York, an exclusive boutique salon was set up on Fifth Avenue; in Madrid, the firm has chosen number 13 Calle Velázquez, in the heart of the Salamanca neighbourhood, to open its most recent space. This last location, warm, intimate and decorated with pure lines and noble materials, perfectly represents the balance between innovation and tradition that defines the brand.
The treatments offered range from hair-by-hair microblading to two-tone eyelash tinting – especially requested by male clients who wish to avoid the make-up effect – as well as eyebrow design, lifting, natural extensions and permanent hair removal. However, one of the most distinctive aspects of Un Jour Un Regard is its commitment to paramedical micropigmentation: a speciality that combines medical precision with artistic sensitivity to reconstruct areas affected by illness or surgery.
Sabrina and her team have developed protocols for the reconstruction of breast areolas in patients who have undergone a mastectomy, techniques for camouflaging scars and stretch marks, and advanced procedures for the treatment of vitiligo, among others. In each case, the objective goes beyond aesthetics: it is an emotional and symbolic accompaniment in the process of recovering one’s own image.
‘Each face contains a story. Our mission is to help that story to be told with dignity, beauty and authenticity‘, says Sabrina with the serenity of someone who has seen her patients’ lives change, not just their faces. This same philosophy is also transmitted in her training school, where not only technique is taught, but also an ethic of care and respect that has become the brand’s signature.
The brand has completed its offer with a line of high-end products – such as ergonomically designed eyebrow pencils and long-lasting eyeliner – designed to prolong the feeling of harmony achieved in the salon at home. And its influence is not limited to the intimate sphere: Un Jour Un Regard has been present at major international events such as the Oscars, the Cannes Film Festival and the Met Gala, reaffirming its commitment to authentic, natural beauty.
All this without ever losing the spirit that started it all: the conviction that authentic beauty does not impose itself, it reveals itself.
