Wow so impressed! Mimi indeed is the best and I would give my highest recommendations. She reminds me of the typical Asian auntie, super loving but super blunt and honest. Don't be offended and come with cultural understanding because she really puts her heart and soul into her work and her time with you. She looks to your best interest so trust her! At first I wasn't sure if I liked the new brows but I'm realizing she was right, I don't know what good looking brows are LOL and I'm so glad she convinced me to do a dark brown and thicker brows! It came out perfect! Location? she's in the back of the Hairstyles store! Be on time because she's a busy woman and you want all the time with her! Is it painful? I'm a medical student so I would recommend taking a Tylenol before going to decrease the pain! But I'm a huge baby so it was painful but beauty is pain and worth it! (The love for your brows make you forget the pain ) Is it safe? Yes! she takes the blade directly out of its antiseptic packaging (she'll do it right in front of you). She also puts antibiotic cream on top after! What to expect after? Check the picture out! She debriefs with you afterwards but it is a process! So be patient because it's worth it! Love you Mimi! Thank you again read more

To my great regret, I ended up with Mimi, who completely ruined my eyebrows. I have no idea who gave her a license or why, but she is definitely not a qualified specialist. She chaotically applied paint with a blade, making random cuts without even drawing a proper outline or sketch beforehand. As a result, one eyebrow was higher than the other, and their shapes were completely different. When I asked her to fix the mess, she was rude and refused to correct her mistakes. In the end, I paid to have my eyebrows ruined and had to spend even more time and money to fix them. I do not recommend her at all - you'll only end up with problems instead of beautiful eyebrows! read more

Wonderful service with Mimi! My second time going and I have sent several friends! It lasts quite a long time too!

Mimi is the best!! I just went back for my touch up and I am so happy! She is so fast! And an expert at what she does! It was also painless. Thank you so much Mimi! See you in one year! read more

Mimi is very knowledgeable & did a wonderful job on my eyebrows. She explained how it would look in the days/weeks following the Microblading & how to care for them.

PLEASE READ ALL THE REVIEWS! NOT just the good ones!! I wanted to wait for my brows to heal before the review but it's clear that she messed it up! 1. She was super nice at the phone to schedule the appointment but on the day her attitude was some moments nice and other very rude. This is a big problem if you have any doubts or if English isn't your first language. That was my case and she seems to get easily irritated 2. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and asume she will copy that ( Picture of her own work) but she never enter on details like pigment or if I wanted abundant or just a few. My naturals eyebrows were already abundant so I was looking something subtle LIKE the picture I showed... 3. When she was done, she showed me the result and I was shocked to see a "professional " going a little bit far here and missed some spots there. When I pointed out the mistake, at the beginning didn't seemed to be obvious for her, after the 3th try taking a look. The only good thing from her ; she tried to "fixed it" I asked a couple times if what she used will actually fix it, because for me it didn't look like that ( taking in count the expert is her not me) She just said YES and replied rude the second time. An explanation of HOW that's supposed happened it would have been better than just YES. My mistake was ignored the BAD reviews HERE and in YELP( She have more there) And arrived 6 minutes late on the appointment date. I completely understand time it's valuable but I drove for almost an hour because I trusted in all these wonderful reviews. I also noticed she replies with attacks to her bad reviews with comments like: " You want to take my business down" or have any excuse blaming the client. Like if the client was the one performing the job? SERIOUSLY??? I sincerely wanted to like the work of this woman but I don't think she care about the outcome of her work. This review is as constructive as possible This person does NOT have the years she claims of experience. It's that or maybe it's a gamble is she does a "good job" read more

Definitely a 5-star review for Mimi. I would give her more stars if I could. i am 60 years old and my brows have never looked better. If you want fantastic eyebrows, call Mimi. read more

I did micro blading on my head crown area, I had some weak hair spots and Mimi did absolutely great job. It looks like normal hair look and matches my other parts of head and hair. I seriously recommend men with weak hair parts to use microblading in this facility. read more

To be honest I have never written a review but I want to share my experience. Since I think microblading is really important to a person and want to give some advice to other people. 1. Do not believe in those good reviews on this store. I saw that this store has a lot of good reviews on the Internet. I originally thought I would have a good experience with my microblading, but it turned out to be the opposite. Those 5-star reviews are just obviously fake feedback. 2. I showed the picture to him about what I want. However, I got a totally different result. She won't follow your idea. She just wants to do the service quickly and get paid. 3. She will complete your microblading in less than 1 hour. I told my friends and all of them think it is too short for a microblading service. She did the service rashly not carefully. 4. Since she did the service very rashly and hastily, my face got cut by her mistake. At that time, I did not blame her. I just want to get an apology. However, she became extremely rude. 5. When I ask some questions about microblading, she just lets me read the manual impatiently. 6. More seriously, she made my eyebrows not at the same level. One of my eyebrows is higher and another one is lower. It's really ugly. I think she is really unprofessional. 7. The price is always shown on your website, I didn't get any discount. Everybody can get that price. After two weeks, my face still didn't heal and the scar is really bad. I hope never do the service here. read more

At first I was skeptical on getting my brows micro bladed, I was afraid on how it'll looked on me since tints never worked on my skin. But after thinking about for about a week. I finally chose Mimi. Before calling Mimi I looked into her Yelp, Instagram and her google reviews. After reading her reviews, I finally made the appointment and she squeezed me in right away. I don't know how to even start on how impressed I am with her skills. She's amazing and friendly. She took her time to perfectly draw my brows. She made sure I was comfortable. Although it's not done yet, I am excited on coming into my second touch up. Thank you so much Mimi read more

After filling in my brows every day for years, I am so happy I decided to finally get microblading. Mimi did a great job and I'm very happy with the results.

I would definitely recommend her (and already have) and will go back next time I need a touch up. read more

Just stopping by to sing Mimi's praises! I've been coming to Mimi for a few years now and just recently popped in for a touch up after about a year and a half. I keep coming to her because my brows always look so natural and they last for a long time before needing a touch up. I was recently in a wedding and the makeup artist commented that my brows were some of the best microblading work she's ever seen! Mimi will forever have my business! read more

I am very pleased with my service at Arlington NOVA Laser & 3D Microblading. After meeting Mimi for the first time, she was so sweet and I was immediately comfortable with her. She provided information that helped me understand the process, step by step. I knew exactly what to expect. She knows exactly what color to use depending on your hair color and she skillfully shapes according to your face. I'd say it is about the same pain level as threading, so it's tolerable. I love the results! This place was perfect for me, thanks to Mimi. read more

I was skeptical with Microblading but I did my research & read reviews about Mimi and decided to do it. I struggled with my eyebrows. I used so many products to let it grow & when it did, I just can't keep up with it. I like my eyebrows now. I still have to go back for a touch up but I'm very satisfied. I will say this, you have to trust the process. At first I thought it was too blocky & I was getting scared but after 10 days my eyebrows looks so good. I will post another picture after my second session. Mimi is sweet & she honestly know what she's doing. I'd give it a 5 star after my last session to see its final look. The best part of having Microblading is I don't spend so much time getting myself together in the morning. It always looks good & natural. Thanks Mimi read more

I am very disappointed with my results. I had microblading and one touch up. The color is too dark for my complexion and hair. A friend was honest and told me it looked a stamp and lacked the definition of skilled microblading. One eyebrow is darker than the other and the tail veers away from my natural hairline, creating an even more artificial look. I made sure to wait two months after the touch up before casting judgment. I can now say my eyebrows look harsh and fake. I am trying to make them fade as fast as possible with retin-A and peels directly on my brows. I am thankful microblading is not permanent. This was a complete waste of money and I have to deal with it on my face for my months. read more

I had Mimi do my eyebrows, and then my moms. I gave her the exact shape I wanted (since her style seems to be different than mine) and gave her feedback along the process. It's been about two months since I've first gotten them done and I love the way they faded out to a more natural look. Ive always had eyebrows but just needed them extended.

I never made it to the office before canceling. One of the reasons she only accepts cash and the other was because I didn't receive a text or email to confirm my appointment. When I called to cancel she was angry with me and asked what time was my appointment. I said wasn't sure and she said I was never serious about coming in and hung up the phone. I made an appointment with another office on Wisconsin Ave that's charging three times more and I'm will to pay if they are professional. They also text me to confirm my appointment. read more

Mimi is amazing! First of all, this is the best value you are going to get on microblading in the DMV area for such great service. She is patient and listens to you when you are letting her know what you want. It took a few iterations for me to be happy with her sketch. She was very sweet and patient throughout the actual microblading. It stings a little the first time around, a little bit like scraping a sunburn, but she always made sure to reassure me and take a break. After the first time around, the numbing cream gets applied and barely felt anything. The whole process only took 1 hour. Afterwards, she was thorough when describing the aftercare. I'm excited to see how it looks when it heals! Go to Mimi, you won't regret it! FYI, if you are at a nail place based on the address, you're in the right spot. Just go in and ask for Mimi! read more

Mimi is AMAZING! She is professional and makes your experience pleasant. She has many years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable about Microblading. My brows look so natural! I had them done 3 wks ago, all the scabbing has come off and they're fully healed. She thoroughly explains the process of the procedure and the healing process. She keeps it real and I love HER!! Waking up, not having to draw on brows cuts so much time off my morning routine. Scheduling a 4 wk touch up for next week! read more

Arlington NOVA Laser & 3D Microblading - 3 wks post - Eyebrow Services Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I love the initial results of my 1st microblading session! I'm now in week 4 and my brows look lovely. I like that I can run errands or even go grab drinks without thinking about putting on a full face of makeup. These new brows automatically make me look more "put together" lol. The overall experience was easy - Mimi was very flexible about scheduling or rescheduling, if needed. I found the salon with no issues (bonus: lots of parking is available in their lot) and was immediately serviced upon arrival. I'll admit that the procedure itself was a bit more painful than I expected, but I'm sure you can ask for longer numbing, if needed. For the healing, it was mostly fine, except that keeping your brows dry in the summer is impossible! I did the best I could though and during week 2, got the flaking and scabbing as anticipated. They looked absolutely crazy for 36-48 hours, but started looking better and better afterwards. Now, I'm just waiting for my much-anticipated follow-up appointment to make my brows a bit thicker and fill in a couple of areas where the pigment isn't as dark as the rest. They still look great though! read more

So I just got home from my first microblading session with Mimi. As you can see in my before photo, my natural brows are sparse and very light. In the after photo you can see I now have brows to frame my face! The healing takes about 10 days to two or three weeks and I know they will be a bit lighter ultimately. This is fine by me. I see Mimi again in 6 weeks time for the touch up and to even out the brows, fill in strokes that might be needed, etc. She is extremely talented and also a sweetheart. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Mimi!! read more

Arlington NOVA Laser & 3D Microblading - Before and after first microblading session with Mimi - Eyebrow Services Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I got my eyebrows Microbladed by Mimi. I have stalked Microblading for years and finally did it and I'm glad I came to her she made me feel so comfortable as I was terrified but she drew on my brows had me double check if I likes the shape and proceed. She used the same color as my brows and they came out better than I expected! I've been getting so many compliments even through the healing process ppl loved them...go figure! Is been a month and I asked Mimi to touch up some spots b/c my eyebrows bleed out some of the dye and without hesitation she filled them in for free!!! She's amazing! read more

The hype is real guys. I am over the moon with Mimi's work, literally could not be more satisfied and I haven't even had my follow up appointment yet! She is the real deal, GO TO HER, you don't need to spend $1,000 to get top of the line microblading just go to Mimi. She was so nice and professional, she took the brand new needle out of the package in front of me, which I really appreciated. She drew amazing eyebrows and showed me, but then listened to me when I wanted them a tiny bit closer together. When she was finished, she didn't just send me on my way. She took the time to look closely at my brows after I sat up and then did a couple more tweaks. ADVICE: I made the mistake of buying a groupon, DON'T do this, if you already have just return it. Just call Mimi, she offers a BETTER deal than Groupon. Also if you pay for your follow up appointment that day she will give you a discount, I didn't bring a credit card because I did Groupon and a cash tip. So I would recommend bringing a CC! Also, I used the "dry healing method" My follow up is next week and I am so excited. I swear even if I move out of the area, I'll be driving back to Mimi whenever I need a touch up THANK YOU! read more

I'm so happy I did this! Mimi was so amazing and accommodating. She was the sweetest when booking an appointment. Mimi encouraged me to check out her yelp and see all the pictures. She made the experience so easy and pleasant. Mimi's sister was amazing too and created an amazing drawing for me (basically a stencil for the microblading). Mimi explained the process very well as well as the follow-up procedures so that I understood the process, which was really helpful. It was well worth it. This is my go-to shop. Mimi has a customer for life. Two thumbs up! 20 on a 1-10! ‍ read more

Mimi is confident and capable. She has a great eye, and a steady hand. She discussed the microblading process before starting on my brows, and she listened when I asked for a more natural look.

Just so everyone is aware that Ms.Mimi is located inside the nails salon. BUT don't feel sketched out. Rest assured that she will immediately make you feel comfortable like you're at her home and her work speaks for itself. Ms. Mimi is truly a sweetheart and she truly cares about you.

Yes, beautiful microblading can be done affordably and safely! read more

I had my first session with Mrs. Mimi on 3.31.18 and let's just say all the hype is well deserved. I was very nervous but am so glad that I was able to find a professional like Mrs. Mimi, she definitely knows what she's doing. Her setup is in the back room of a salon and nail shop as stated in many of the other reviews but please don't let this put you off. The tools she uses are new on every person and her practices are very hygienic. She worked a miracle on my eyebrows as you can see from my before and after pics. I'm already set up for my touch up in 6 weeks and will follow up with another review then. read more

I've had my microblading for less than 24 hours and I already feel like a different person! I pretty much have no eyebrows; I've been painting them on for the last 20 plus years. I could never do anything spontaneous.....even something simple as going to the grocery store......without having to stop to paint brows on. And let me not even get started on how hard it was to make the left brow look like the right one.....downright impossible. I heard about microblading a couple of years ago, but I also heard that it might not work well for darker skinned woman such as myself, so I put it off. A day before my appt with Mimi, a friend who got her brows done at another salon cautioned me once again that it might not show up well on my skin color, but as far as I was concerned, anything was better than nothing. I was beyond tired of painting on my eyebrows every day and re-painting if my eyeglasses smudged them. Well let me tell you that my friend was so wrong. Mimi did an amazing job and my brows look perfect less than 24 hours out! I can't stop looking in the mirror. I look like a different person now! As a matter of fact, I going to put my hair in ponytail and head to the grocery store right now! I never realize how amazing I would feel after such a simple procedure. Thank you so much, Mimi!!! Not only are you amazingly talented but you're an absolute sweetheart! See you in six weeks. read more

Mimi was nice but I wasn't happy with the job done. My eyebrows were uneven because she didn't use measuring tools and she performed shading on my eyebrows without letting me know. I only found this out after when I went to another salon for a consult. Shading and microblading are different and that was not explained to me fully. The service I paid for was microblading. The salon was in a very shady neighborhood/location and I almost drove away when I saw its location - should've followed my gut. I will not be going back for a touch up. I found another very reputable place that I will go to get my brows fixed. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for. read more

I would highly advise against going here if you have light features or want natural brows/skilled microblading. The result is way too harsh and dark for my face, my brows are uneven(one has a point and the other does not), and the shape is too high from my natural brow line. I consulted with someone who does removal, and they said the lines are too deep in the tails and the strokes are very thick. I could not make my touch up due to a personal emergency and thank god I didn't. Currently getting removal before I do a cover up elsewhere. I debated about posting this because Mimi is very nice, but I want to save others from going through a similar experience. Other red flags include: limited aftercare information (she told me to take a photo of a piece with food on it, tried to upsell me permanent eyeliner while I was getting my eyebrows done, and there was no way professional measuring done). read more

I had a wonderful experience with Mimi. She made me feel extremely comfortable and I was able to gain her trust as soon as I saw how passionate she was about her work. Mimi knew within minutes of seeing me what eyebrow shape would look best for my face shape. Her strokes were gentle, painless and overall very natural. She offered to let me keep the mirror right by my side so I could see the process step by step. My eyebrows look amazing! I am incredibly happy with my results :) read more

Highly recommend Mimi to everyone interested in getting microblade. My mother did hers first and I was Skeptical because she never had a consultation or had an hour of discussing how the process worked. But Mimi reassured us that she's very experienced and knew what she was doing. She did an amazing job with my mom so i decided to do mine. I am used to thin eyebrows and was worried it'll be too thick. But Mimi just took one look at my brows and knew exactly what would be good for me. I'm extremely happy with what she did. Super professional, talented, & made the process go very smoothly. read more

I can't say enough about Mimi and my microblading experience. She provides you with a thorough understanding of the process before she starts. She was concerned about my comfort and very accommodating. We worked together to determine the shape and style of my brow. We laughed and I felt like part of her family. There is so much talent wrapped up in her. I can't wait to see her again for my laser treatment. Mimi is the ultimate professional and a woman of many talents. Try her. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is my first time microblading and I found MiMi because she is pretty much the best in north Arlington, even been in the Washington post!! I have such light eyebrows that I needed to take a chance and get it done ! Mimi made me feel so comfortable when I came in. She took time to inspect my eyebrows to draw and shape them to my natural curve. Don't worry, there is numbing cream applied so you don't feel much pain at all ! I have to say I am in LOVEEEEE!! I'm currently on day 3, as you have to wait at least 10 days to let them stay dry to scab and heal. Don't worry if they look darker than what you wanted, they WILL lighten as the skin heals ! I have a touch up appointment, which will be set up with Mimi after your first session, in July. I'll be updating my review as it heals so you all can get encouraged to visit the famous Mimi ! read more
