I really wish I could give Danielle 5 Stars, but I'm really disappointed how my brows turned out. I…read moredecided to give microblading a try since I've seen some amazing results first hand. I researched online and found Danielle. Her before and after photos looked beautiful, however, I really wish I would have researched about microblading a bit more before I pulled the trigger on this. Walking into the Brow Bar, I was impressed with how nice everyone is! Danielle herself is incredibly sweet and very thorough on making sure all your questions are answered. It really gave me a confidence boost to go forward and schedule an appointment. Fast forward to my appointment day, I agreed to a specific brow shape and color after she waxed some hairs. The numbing cream takes a while to kick in, and it also doesn't last that long. You will have some pain and discomfort during the process but it's tolerable. Once the procedure was done, I noticed that the thick part of my eyebrow was a tad lower and was a few millimeters closer to my nose than the other brow. It's very obvious if you look at the pictures I posted and compare where the brows extend from the corners of my eye. I texted Danielle about it and she assured me that those were issues that could be fixed at the touch up appointment. I also noticed that the lines were getting fatter and looked like the ink was blowing and turning a brownish grey. At that time, I figured it was probably just part of the scabbing process and it would eventually fall off. At my next appointment, I brought up to Danielle how it looked like my lines were blowing. She asked me if I was adhering to the post care and I assured her that I did. I kept them dry and applied the Vit E ointment that was given to me as instructed. She told me that the issue will be fixed on the touch up. After the touch up, it did look a lot better because I could see crisp lines again, but it still kind of looked like a cover up tattoo over blown lines. However, it only lasted a couples days and then the lines blew even worse than before and began to get ashy! I would be more upset if it weren't for the fact it's only noticeable if you look hard enough for it. My husband says it looks like I penciled in some brows with an off color. My only hope was that the color would eventually fade, but it's been 8 months now with no signs of fading. I joined a couple Microblade Groups on Facebook and found out a few things: 1: Microblading is a tattoo. It really shouldn't be labeled semi-permanent. It doesn't just disappear after a couple years. 2: The ink blew from a combined issue of the blades being tilted instead of inserted at 90 degrees. The blades were also inserted too deep and also the post care instructions for my skin type was incorrect. I have oily skin. I should not have been using ointment. Instead I should have been using a dry method of putting absolutely nothing on my brows after day 1. 3. Because of the ink brand used, the pigments turned ashy. 4. The hair strokes that were used were improperly placed going in the wrong direction towards the tails. At first I thought, maybe it was just because of the way my brows are shaped? Maybe that's why she decided to scratch every single hair all in the same direction. Hair strokes are suppose to tilt downward towards the tail almost like they come together in a feathery point. It creates a more natural look because that's how eyebrow hairs actually grow. I looked back at Danielle's portfolio and every single person had symmetrical upward hair strokes. You can google microblading hair stroke templates and see how making the strokes in the same direction is not the industry standard. I also wish she didn't wax my eyebrows before the procedure. I didn't initially notice but she waxed off a good amount near my Starts. After it grew back, the hairline didn't line up at all with the microblade lines. So at this point, I'm going to wait and see if they will eventually fade. If not then I'm going to have to fork out the cash to get them removed. If I had to do it all over again, I would have definitely researched more into microblading and looked harder for an artist who practices in the same techniques I learned to appreciate. Don't get me wrong, some people feel like Danielle does great work because obviously she has happy clients, but I do think for my face shape, skin type, and design I had in mind.... it just was a bad fit for me.

My eyebrows were micro-bladed by Danielle Kelso, and I could not be more pleased with the process…read moreor the results. Danielle was punctual, professional and meticulous. My revitalized brows have drawn a myriad of compliments referencing beauty, youth and good health to name a few. My friends and family members seem to think I look great, but aren't really aware of the change I've made. This is the best part of Danielle's work -- her artistry has brought forth a subtle yet definite transformation of my face. Not to mention the fact that I can wake up in the morning and look presentable with much less effort than it once took me to pencil in my sparse and fading 60-year-old eyebrows. Thank you, Danielle, for giving me my face back!!

*****Black & Woman Owned & Operated.***** This young lady…read moredefinitely has great skills and is very professional. I'm so used to going to EWC and anticipating the hot heat & pain. Well my experience here was nothing like that. She has a lovely, cute shop with accessories for your wax or health sale. Looks like she'll be adding more to the shop soon. I was greeted with a warm welcome and the shop has a nice Fall aroma to it. During the session the wax temperature was warm enough to get the job done and not burn me. The PLUS is that the removal was a very low pain level compared to what I'm used to. And know that it has been 2 months since my last wax. She actually got all of it done in less strips too. And yes I was very Silky Smooth. She gave me a sample of her serum to use and educated me on how to use it along with her other products. And she's very personable, we had a great convo as I'm not one to talk during sessions. I highly recommend everyone to visit this salon and check her out. New members get a major discount so check her website out for that. And let her know Requel from Yelp, referred you!

Yalllll this place is soooo AMAZING !!! Customer service is good , the place is soooo cute and pink…read more!! But baby the wax !! Yall it felt like she wasn't waxing for real ! I was in my head like ahhh it's gonna be some left !! No ma'am she got it all !! She's so through and made my experience so good especially after being traumatized by one of the "big" wax places! She has a forever client in me ! I'm sending anyone I know lol yall but no fr she's so good ! Give her a try , I just changed your life ! Your welcome
