I really had a wonderful experience getting nano combo brows with Simone!…read more This was not my first time getting an ombre brow service. The first place I went to was about 3-4 years ago. Although I had an overall good experience there, when I went for my 18ish month touch up, the owner of that business seemed distracted, didn't really care to listen much and overall the whole service felt like a rushed, assembly line transaction. It's been 18 months since that last touch up, so I was due for one. My brows started to have that washed out look, but I just didn't feel compelled to go back to the original artist (although the color boost would have been much cheaper.)After following Good Brows on social media for a few years, I decided that Simone's work had a softer, more natural look that was much more aligned with my taste. So I inquired and she soon followed up to set up a consultative call after I sent a picture of my brows at present. My appointment was set up on that call, which was about 6 weeks away. I made a non-refundable deposit at that time and then received more pre-appointment instructions the week of my appointment. I must admit, there are a lot of details to read and pay attention to when it comes to policy - which is either a sign of a meticulous and detailed business owner, or potentially someone so particular that flexibility may not be at the forefont when it comes to collaboration. Luckily, all of these details are just so that Simone can maintain a high level of professionalism in running her business and ensuring that her clients receive the standard in care and artistry that they're paying for. On morning of the appointment, I gave myself plenty of time to ensure I wasn't late (there is a $150 rescheduling policy if you're more than 10 mins late.) She texted me right when I was arriving, which was a few minutes early to let me know I could come in if I was waiting, so we were able to start right on time. The studio space is warm and beautiful, adorned with gorgeous art (if you're lucky, she may tell you some stories about the pieces.) She then sat with me to talk about my concerns and interests. She's a good listener - genuine, intentional and collaborative in ensuring that what you like is what she delivers. When asking about how nano strokes might look over time, she was honest with me and level set expectations. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that kind of transparency -it's refreshing. She ended up cleaning up my brows, color correcting and adding a few strokes to the front and I tell you - I feel brand new (even fresh out of the chair, which we all know can feel a bit alarming before the color softens up in the healing process.) Additionally, it was evident through our conversation throughout that Simone is a beautiful human - inside and out. I enjoyed our chat and loved the result of her work. If you're in limbo, I suggest you go for it but have a good sense of what you're looking for. Bring examples of past work that you may like or try to go in with an understanding of the overall aesthetics of what appeals most to you. Simone is an expert, so the quality of the work speaks for itself. I feel relieved that I've found an artist that has an aesthetic of work and level of professionalism that I truly value to return to when needed. Thanks again so much, Simone!

I first spoke with Ms. Mimi on October 3, 2020, 3 months after moving to the area. I found her business on google after reading every last review mainly bad haha it's who I am. People always say nice things but I wanted to see what the negatives were, were they valid or were they people with unrealistic expectations? I waited for a while to ensure I was making the right decision and then I scheduled my appt for March 20, 2021. On March 21, 2021, Ms. Mimi messaged me to see if I was ok with my eyebrows and if I had any issues or concerns. We went ahead and scheduled my touch-up for April 14, 2021. A year later, I still love my eyebrows !! I have thick skin and understand that it is a bit stubborn at times. I've watched my skin reject every tattoo ink so my expectations were not as high. To my surprise, It lasted extremely long, longer than expected. If you did your research prior, you would know how long microblading last and when a touch-up is required. It's not going to be done twice and you are good for the rest of your life. You always have to follow the care instructions !! It's not rocket science! I am trying to post pictures of my eyebrows from start to finish and my updated touch-up today after a year (not necessary but wanted to keep it fresh) but no photo button. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it's all about learning about different cultures and practicing grace. Give to others what we expect! Do not be so quick to judge! We all have bad days, in the customer service business, one bad customer can ruin someone's entire day and the next customer will judge that person based on their experience. I am extremely honest and I don't sugar coat things, there was a rude customer today and I saw that it affected her mood when I got there and I told her that it had nothing to do with her. How people treat you is a reflection of themselves !! Her mood changed and she was so happy !! If it's not for you keep it moving but it doesn't help to be mean and nasty! If you have issues address them and fix them but your tone and body language can make things better or worst !! I love Mimi and I have no complaints about my stubborn eyebrow !! An eyebrow pairs well with a smile better than it does with a frown! Have a blessed Friday! Don't judge my English haha read more

I got both microblading and eyelash extensions done. You first numb your eyebrows with cream for about 20-25 minutes, and I also got my eyebrows waxed to clean them up so Mimi was better able to shape my eyebrows. Mimi then draws the eyebrow shape and listens to what you want before microblading. Mimi was very experienced and very sweet, and I entrusted everything to her. She drew the perfect shape based on my natural eyebrow and eye shape, and selected the right shade, a brown/black so it wouldn't be too dark. She also explained the process to me. You can't wet your eyebrows for about 12 days, during which they'll scab over and may appear light, but the pigmentation will return. You then have to come back to get microbladed again in 6 weeks (additional cost) so the ink will become more permanent (about 2-3 years). Before she begins, she shows you that the blade is new and opens the package in front of you. It still hurts some with the numbing cream but is bearable, and it lasts about 30-40 minutes. It looks really dark at first, but i've had it for a week now with some of the scabs coming off, and it looks great underneath. Mimi made the beginning of my eyebrows look like they are natural hairs when she shaped them! I didn't catch the name of the woman who did my eyelash extensions (she had the cutest little son), but she did a phenomenal job and was so sweet like Mimi. I had cluster mink lashes before that were glued to multiple lashes and were uncomfortable (if I squeezed my eyes shut they would hurt like it was pulling my natural lashes), but here they glue them onto your individual lashes and it feels so much more comfortable. The lashes they use also look so natural, and she even clipped the lashes to adjust to your eyes. Even though it's in a nail salon and not the most luxurious of places, this place is a real gem with unbeatable prices, great service, and results that look natural and fantastic! I'm so happy with how my eyebrows and eyelashes look and will be coming here from now on! Thank you!!! read more

I don't leave many Yelp reviews, but I just had to share the amazing experience that I had with Mimi yesterday. She got the process started earlier than my appointment slot, which was great! The first question she asked me was what I wanted my eyebrows to look like, so I knew right away she cared about my experience and she assured me that they were going to look natural and fit my face like I wanted. I was so relieved to hear that because I truly did not want it to look like I had my eyebrows "done" or to be too dramatic. She could tell I was a little nervous and kept talking to me throughout the process and explained all the aftercare procedures and follow up appointment details wonderfully. I did not experience any pain - and I am a baby when it comes to any pain. It is a very different experience because you have little feeling in your eyebrows, but you can feel the pressure of the Microblading. The process goes by so quickly though, so it didn't bother me at all. You can tell that Mimi truly loves what she does. I kept telling her how thrilled and excited I was with how my eyebrows looked afterwards and I think she was almost more excited FOR me. I still just cannot get over how my face and eyes are immediately more defined and I'm only in Day 2 of healing. Mimi is a true master and I'd recommend her to anyone who is on the fence about microblading because you will leave feeling your absolute best. read more

Mimi did a fantastic job microblading my eyebrows. This was not my first time getting them done, but I much preferred this experience and I will certainly visit Mimi again in the future. She is a very kind woman who clearly loves what she does. She also makes clear she will take care of her customers. I will admit I was surprised when I arrived to the location, because it looks like any run-of-the-mill walk-in nail salon, but Mimi has her own rooms in the back where she performs her procedures. She started by applying numbing cream and drawing on different shapes with a brow pencil to get my feedback before we began. I liked this better than other places that use sharpie or something less natural. I really felt like I was dealing with an artist. She listened to what I wanted and checked with me throughout the process to make sure that I was comfortable with the procedure (and gave me more numbing cream when requested) and that I was satisfied with how they looked. When I requested they be darker (so that they would fade to a color closer to my hair color), she agreed and instantly went to get darker dye. I can sometimes find it uncomfortable to correct service providers in what they're doing, but Mimi made me feel very relaxed and like I would get exactly what I wanted. And I did. I'm looking forward to going back for my touch up. read more

I got my eyebrows done by Mimi 2 weeks ago and I am SO happy I did! I was incredibly nervous to get my brows microbladed, especially since Mimi was so much more affordable than everyone else in the area and because I knew it would be semi-permanent, so I was terrified I wouldn't like the outcome. BUT after struggling with over-plucked, uneven eyebrows for 10+ years (I also have a small scar that leaves a space in the middle of my eyebrows) I can say that I have NO REGRETS! Mimi is wonderful, knew exactly what color I needed, and listened to all my concerns and specifications for the shape. I was also worried about the healing process, but I kept them as dry as possible and only had a bit of flaking for about 3 days (everyone's skin is different and will heal differently!). I cannot wait to go back for my 5 week touch-up to perfect my beautiful eyebrows for hopefully 1+ years! If you don't have $500 to spend on your eyebrows, but still want to wake up each morning looking like you already spent 15 minutes putting makeup on your brows to make them look perfect, then I recommend Mimi!! *Since the photo below was taken, my brows have healed and look completely natural and match my light skin and light brown hair perfectly! They look so natural that I've almost forgotten what my straggly brows ever looked like before read more

I did my eyebrows a month ago, but decided to wait before I post a review. I did a lot research and watched videos. I was hesitating a lot, but I am glad I actually have done it. Location was easy to find and there is a lot parking available. My appointment was on time. Mimi explained the process to me. And started numbing. While it was taking time for a full numbing we were trying to choose the shape and color that will fit my face type. So there is an option: you can bring pictures of the shape you like, Mimi can suggest something for you, or in my case we just drew several versions and I picked the shape I like the most. By that type the brows were numb totally. So when Mimi was working I did not feel any pain, which I was so happy about. After it was done Mimi explained what to do and how to take care of the brows. In the beginning I felt it was a little darker than I wanted, but after the healing it became more like natural. The healing process was smooth. Yes the color changed - became more natural; the healed skin fell off and it was just a little itchy. I had many compliments at work. Yes there are some spots that need to be fixed, but it is so little almost not visible and that is why there is a retouch to which I am going soon. read more

Brows are a very important facial feature. The wrong shape, arch, or color can make a huge difference in ones appearance. Having thin or bare eyebrows can be even worse, sometimes depressing. Over the years my eyebrows thinned drastically. I seen a few dermatologist, all who had different answers to give. The first one said that waxing burnt my hair follicles and my hair would never grow back. The second one said that my hair lost was a result of seborrheic dermatitis. The last one prescibed a cream that is used to grow eyelahes. Needless to say it did not work. Spike pencil by MAC became my bestfriend, I used it everyday until I found Mimi. I considered microbraiding in the past but was displeased with the results I saw on others and the ridiculous prices. After reviewing Mimi's work and reviews I decided to give her a try and I am so glad I did. She is nice, professional, and patient. She made me feel comfortable and her confidence was infectious, not to mention her reasonable price. Today was my 4 week touch up and her work is just as good as the first time. I love how she makes hair like strokes making the brow look more natural. If I could give her 10 stars I would.********** I highly recommend Mimi read more

Please don't let VAN put the numbing cream on you before her showing you the eyebrow design. Make sure she draws your like before taking hair off from you. She goes over your hair line saying that she will lift your eyebrow to look higher, she doesn't respect your hair line growth. after twice I told her to follow my hair line. Plus the ink that she uses is really poor and comes off, this is a month I went with her on June 6 2024. the color changes to greyish. Please don't think because its cheap its good. I rather spend double the price that I payed but to get a good job. The double line you see was my hair covering my old microblading, if she would follow my hair line this wouldn't happened. She wanted to put skin color on it to cover it but we all know that doesn't work like that. Its like a tattoo that has to be remove complete not cover it up. My eyebrow hair looks more because and natural and black then what she did. She is not professional keeps telling you to get up from the bed and to lay back again, to get up and to lay back again, it was a little annoying. The eyebrows are not the same. One is further than the other. Why do u want for me to go back? To make it worse, no thank you. read more

I first heard about Mimi after noticing one of my girlfriends gorgeous brows! After she told me she had them microbladed and seeing how incredible they looked, I was sold. I immediately booked an appointment for my sister and I to get our brows done by Mimi. My sister and I had a blast hanging out with Mimi and getting our brows done. Mimi is truly an artist who knows exactly how to create the perfect brow for each client. She began by free hand drawing our brows until we had the exact shape we loved. As blondes...we were a little apprehensive as we did not want them to be too dramatic. She knew exactly how to give us a natural flawless look. The process was not painful at all and took about an hour each. The healing process was much faster than expected. After three days my brows began peeling/scabbing. The peeling process lasted two full days. It has been one week since my appointment and my photos speak for themselves. I could not be more satisfied with the experience and can't recommend Mimi enough to everyone I know. Save yourself time and money buying products to do your brows everyday and go get them microbladed by Mimi!! read more

Although it being in a nail salon was confusing at first, I had a great experience here. Mimi was so friendly as soon as I met her! I have gotten my eyebrows microbladed before, but from another person. I did not like how they looked nor did they last very long (it's been maybe a year and I've had it touched up too). They've faded a lot so I wanted to find someone else that could create a better, more natural looking shape for my face. Before even telling Mimi what I wanted to do to my eyebrows, she immediately said everything she wanted to do to them and it was everything I was planning on telling her! Clearly she has been doing this for a long time. She was very quick and did not even have to "trace" an eyebrow shape because she knew how to precisely draw them naturally. When my other brow technician showed me her final results of my eyebrows I was not wowed. But when Mimi showed me her results I was so happy! She is also so super sweet! I can't wait to see what they're gonna look like and will come back in 6 weeks for my touch up. ALSO - the price is amazing compared to what I previously paid, and the ending result - 10x better!! read more

I had a terrific experience with Mimi and my permanent eyeliner session! Mimi did an incredible job and was able to fit me in her schedule the day of and exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about the pain and about how natural the semi-permanent eyeliner would look (I did the tops of my eyes only), but she used plenty of numbing cream and it was not at all painful, and she took care to make the results look natural, using a brown color and tightlining the eyeliner. I've already scheduled and look forward to my one-month touch-up. She explained the after-care procedure thoroughly (use a piece of cotton with filtered bottled water on the area and dab on bacitracin ointment, for three days). So far, I've experienced no swelling, which is amazing. She also let me drop by the ATM at the nearby CVS since I was running low on cash. The results look even better in person than in photographs and Mimi is definitely very knowledgeable and skilled. I felt I was in great hands the entire time. I'm so happy with the results, as I already feel so much more confident and it will save me lots of time getting ready in the mornings! read more

Awesome.I AM SO HAPPY! Mimi the technician was gentle, knowledgeable, professional and provided a great experience. She walked me through all the steps and answered any questions. She did such an AMAZING GREAT JOB on my eyebrows. Mimi is a true artist and was meticulous when shaping my new brows. She is an absolute perfectionist and she is very considerate, checking that I was okay the entire procedure. She really knows her stuff! Mimi did a wonderful job and was very nice and talked about the procedure the whole time she was doing it. Very professional and CLEAN process. Every step was thoroughly explained. I get compliments on the shape and how natural they look ALL the time! This is a professionally run office with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very pleased with the outcome. I can't say enough about how much I love my perfect looking eyebrows! So professional and kind. Results wise, I am very happy with the first session, and cannot wait for the follow up. Thank you Mimi! Amazing and marvelous!!!! check her out YOU WON'T REGRET IT! I highly recommend her to everyone! read more

I was a bit hesitant about going through with the microblading procedure but after reading all the reviews about Mimi, I decided to give it a go. Let me tell you, if you are thinking about getting microblading done, Mimi is the best. I felt at ease and comfortable the minute I spoke to her. She was so sweet, funny and very knowledgeable!! She's been doing this for many years. The procedure took about an hour and half and she took her time. She gave me clear instructions on how to take care of it after the procedure. She made sure the eyebrows are exactly what you wanted before she starts the procedure, so make sure it's really what you want. It took a week for my brows to peel and heal. Even it went through the healing process I gave her a call and asked questions and she was very understanding and made assured that it's all part of the healing process. I'm going back in two days for my touch up and I can't wait. So if you are in the DMV area pls choose Mimi.. I'm so glad I chose her because my brows are beautiful and I've gotten so many compliments on them. read more

Mimi is great! I had been thinking about getting my eyebrows microbladed for a couple of years, and after seeing all the pictures of Mimi's work I made my appointment. Mimi did a great job! My eyebrows are the exact shape/style I wanted! She drew them on first to make sure I liked the general shape and then began the microblading process. She opened up a new blade in front of me which I appreciated, that way I knew everything was sterile. The first pass through hurt a bit, but after that I could barely feel it! It has been about a week since I got my eyebrows done and they are doing great! They are still fairly dark, which is to be expected, and are starting to scab over and heal. I was very surprised that right after I got them done there was very little pain or redness. The only bad thing is that they are currently very itchy because they are so dry (you cannot put anything on them for the first 2 weeks). Overall, my experience was great and I would recommend Mimi to everyone. She is very friendly and knows what she is doing. read more

Coming here has been one of the best beauty decisions I have ever made! I never make a decision without doing a ton of research so when I finally decided to look into Microblading I came across Arlington Nova online and I was sold. All of Mimi's 5 star reviews and her instagram photos spoke for themselves. I actually booked for myself and my sister and Mimi was able to do both of our brows at the end of her day. Mimi made sure I was happy with the shape before we started, she was really great at listening to what I wanted and she executed flawlessly on it. My natural brows are very light and sparse and I used to spend the time using brow pencils every day. I'm now saving so much time and effort getting ready so I'm not over exaggerating when I say that this has been life changing. Mimi has a lot of experience and she does an AMAZING job. This is a big decision for someone to make but honestly it's SO worth it. The best part is that everything looks super natural. I had a great experience here and I'll definitely continue to come back! read more

Mimi's work is outstanding!!!! I was extremely nervous about the permanent aspect of this on my face. What if it turns out bad and I look like lil kim!!! But, Mimi calmed my nerves and now I look younger and receive so many compliments. Now, if you are an American who has not experienced different cultures, you may be put off by this experience. Mimi a little abrasive and tells you to write a review. She is not light handed nor does she handle clients with kid gloves. This is not a spa treatment or relaxing Sunday event. For example, Mimi asked me where I am from. I get this a lot being light brown skinned. I told her I am African American. She said, "African? No, you not African. You too pretty.". Yup!!! If you go prepared, you will walk out with beautiful eyebrows!!! We'll work the discounted price!! Mimi is truly a diamond in the rough. I have recommended my friends and family to her. Just don't go with an attitude expecting American customer service!! read more

I searched the internet trying to find a place to get my eyebrows microbladed. After extensive research and yelp reviews, I made an appointment with Mimi. Needless to say I was very nervous. Just as I arrived, Mimi had a client she was doing. She was gracious enough to let me see what was going on. I was relieved from that point forward. Mimi applied the numbing cream, we talked about shape and color, then she went to work on my brows! she is constantly viewing her work as she goes along making sure everything is to her liking. Part way through she handed me a mirror and I was amazed how nice it was going. She know's her craft very well. She kept checking and checking during the process. Mimi is efficient, calming and professional. I should have done this long ago. Being 64 yrs old with thinning and gray eyebrows, truly gives you years back to your face. Don't hesitate getting this done, its so worth it. Mimi is the one to go to!!! read more

Mimi is the best permanent makeup artist! She did such an amazing job on a co-worker's microbladed brows that I made an appointment for my daughter to have microblade brows--she's a new mom who doesn't have much time. The brows turned out beautiful!! And so natural! Then her mother-in-law saw the brows and LOVED them. So for her birthday, we took her to Mimi for microblade brows. Another beautiful, natural pair of eyebrows thanks to Mimi! I had my brows done earlier by a different person and they weren't done as beautifully as Mimi did for my daughter and her mother-in-law. But I did want permanent eyeliner, so of course, I trusted Mimi to create them for me. And they turned out wonderful! I am so happy with Mimi's artistry and precision in creating eyebrows and eyeliner. I recommend her to everyone I know that wants permanent make-up. Mimi is the absolute best at creating beautiful and natural permanent make-up! read more

Updated 11/19/18 Done with the second appointment. Mimi is great & sweet. Highly recommend her. My eyebrows looks so good! Thank you Mimi 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 wgetting myself together in the morning. It always looks good & natural. Thanks Mimi read more

I've never written a Yelp review before, but Mimi was so incredible that I HAD to review. First of all, she is the sweetest person. Second, she is just amazing at what she does! I have always had issues with my eyebrows with overplucking and such, and because of her, I feel confident about my eyebrows for the first time in a VERY long time. I asked her how long she's been doing microblading and she said 36 YEARS!!! Talk about a pro right??? I'm very pleased with the results and this is only the first session! (at least 1 touch up is necessary with microblading) I can see why people may be skeptical because her place of work is in a nail salon, but please don't let that discourage you. She has her own space where she does microblading and she's very professional. You are really missing out if you let that deter you! Thank you so much Mimi for honestly making me feel pretty again without eyebrow makeup! read more

I've been a very happy customer of Tuull for 6 years. She's done Combo Nano and color correction…read more(for Microblading I had in the past) and I love her work! She's a perfectionist and pays careful attention to facial symmetry. A true artist. It's a huge commitment to let someone do semi-permanent makeup, but I completely trust her. Booking was easy online, the location was very convenient to get to, I had no trouble finding parking, and the new location looks fantastic! The appointment took just under 2 hours and was very comfortable. The new studio is much bigger, very clean, and has a relaxing ambiance. If you're in the fence about getting your brows done, I highly recommend going to Borte.

I've gone to Tuull now a handful of times and I can say that she is an extremely talented artist…read more The first time I got my ombre brows, it was elsewhere. Although that person did a good job, I started following Tuull on social media around that same time and knew she would be the next artist I went to once I was due for a touch up. The person that first did my brows did a good job keeping things conservative (which I appreciated.) But at the one year mark, the work had shrunken and faded enough that it only looked a tad different from my natural brows so I went to Borte for that little extra razzle dazzle. It was super easy booking online and during our consultative visit, Tuull walked me through some options, asked me lots of questions and even sketched different stylistic approaches on my brows to then go home and think about. I then returned for my follow-up appointment and since then, two more touch up appointments over the past couple of years. She is a total pro and really knows what she is doing. My brows now frame my features in a much more defined way and it's freeing to not have to do my brows daily and still enjoy their framing once I wash my face or go swimming. Like with any powder brows, you've got to get your annual touch-up to keep them looking fresh (because fading is inevitable.) However, it's also nice to know that if you ever decide you no longer like that aesthetic, Borte also offers removal services as well. Thanks so my for the beautiful brows, Tuull!

I got my eyelash extensions here using a Groupon, and overall, I'm really happy with the results!…read moreIt's been almost two weeks, and as you can see, they still look great with very minimal shedding, which is completely normal. The quality of the lashes and the way they were applied were definitely impressive. That being said, I do think their pricing is on the higher side, especially considering the location, store ambiance, and overall service. I was charged $40 (which they said was discounted from $60) just to remove about two leftover lashes from my previous set, which felt pretty steep for such a minor removal. While the lashes themselves are high quality and long-lasting, I personally don't think the full price of $120 is justified. If you're okay with the cost, you'll likely be happy with the results--but for me, it's a bit too pricey for the experience overall.
