The general atmosphere was calm, relaxing and friendly. Please note: for nano brows, expect to be there for a while for your first appointment (~4 hours). It is incredibly detailed work and Devan works really hard to make it perfect! I personally appreciated the pace, it is a tattoo on my face after all!! Bring in ear headphones, load up an audio book and wear your comfiest clothes for max relaxation. Also- it really doesn't hurt at all. A mild scratching sensation at worst! For someone like me with no brows, this has been a game changer! My coworkers didn't even notice until I pointed it out, close friends and family noticed but not immediately. Not a shocking change, but rather one that matches my "natural" brows and complexion. Which is exactly what I wanted. Highly highly recommend the professional, diligent team at Atelier !! (Especially Devan!)

A woman at the door said "yes, come on" and walked me to the back implying that it was her. I informed her that I want a silk wrap and highlights. She informed me that she would have to blow my hair out because it's curly (first time this has happened, but I'm not a stylist so I agreed). She then proceeded to do my highlights by parting at the line where my old highlights were, not at the scalp. This resulted in uneven, choppy and messy highlights. When it came to my trim, she left dead ends and it's uneven as well. I am currently going back to get it fixed. Will update with any new information. Update: I went back to the salon and the owner fixed my color as much as she could. I didn't get charged an additional fee. My second experience I would rate a 4.

Hands down the best service you'll EVER get for permanent makeup! Hannah was my artist & absolutely…read moreknocked it out of the park with what I wanted ! I have been so self conscious about my eyebrows for over 15 years & she was able to achieve such a seamless transition into the perfect natural looking results. The fact that I don't have to wake up & spend half my morning fighting to draw on my brows makes me want to cry tears of pure happiness. I did a lot of research prior to making my decision to have permanent makeup. I looked at each artists' portfolio (IG) & while they all did stunning work, Hannah was my girl! We chatted on IG for a while and she was so helpful & patient with me as I asked questions & shared concerns. After we spoke I booked my appointment for my consultation. The next few days I kept seeing her brilliant work & knew that she was the perfect person, so I asked her if we could do my consultation & appointment the same day! She made it work no problem! On the day of my appointment I arrived 15 mins early & we got started with paperwork. Once that was done we discussed my vision of how I wanted my brows (color, size, type of style I wanted). Hannah was kind enough to mock up two different styles so I could pick after seeing it & it made a world of difference. My biggest stress was choosing if I wanted more hairlike brows or more shaded in type with visible hair strokes. Hannah mapped out my brows based off measurements and bone structure (which I love) using a temporary pencil - & once I selected which one I liked we got to work on numbing. The rest was history! Super great conversation, and absolutely amazing artist! I can't wait to come back for my touch up in 4 weeks. Love love love this place! Go book today!!!!!

Civilization Tattoo is excellent. It was opened one year ago by local tattoo artists Adam Marton…read moreand Jason Talbot, along with Wesley Cavendish who provides eyebrow microblading services as well as cosmetic tattoos. I have two pieces done over several sessions with Adam, and one by their newest team member, Jason Brown, and I am extremely happy with them. The line work is crisp and precise, the shading is smooth, and the composition fits my body. I trust them to take my basic idea and run with it in the way they think will give me the best result. Everyone is extremely professional, friendly, and down to earth, but most importantly they are passionate about and skilled at their craft. The artists specialize in traditional style tattoos, but they welcome collaboration on any of your ideas. The shop itself is very clean, well run, and has a fascinating array of artwork that is a welcome distraction during sessions. The pricing is very fair for such high quality work. They take both cash and credit cards, although the POS system has a 3% fee on cards. Don't forget to tip. The shop is in historic Jackson Ward, in between Saison Market and the Maggie Walker Memorial Plaza. There is very limited parking on N Adams Street, but it's easy to find a free spot in the surrounding area. They are open noon to 8pm every day except Monday, and while appointments are of course available, walk ins are always welcome.

From the outside, you can already get a taste for the level of artistry and precision that goes into performing high-quality, beautiful tattoo artwork. I decided to knock on the door one day just to ask about how I could schedule an appointment for a very small, simple tattoo touchup, and I had an appointment the next day. They are very COVID safe, and the inside of the shop is extremely clean with organized service and high-quality technology. Even with exceptional service and talent, the value is fantastic. Prices are affordable and competitive, when comparing them to other tattoo shops in the Richmond area, and the shop minimum sits at $80. The artists are very experienced, talented, and caring. Never impatient, they made me feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. John Setzer was my artist, and he was wonderful! If you like these artist's portfolios and previous work, or you just require an excellent tattoo experience, I can't recommend Civilization Tattoo enough!

I'm reposting this review I left on WeddingWire…read more.. Victoria was my hair and makeup artist for my 10/21/23 wedding. I had a hard time finding an artist who was in my budget especially because I was just getting my hair and makeup done, none of my bridesmaids or family, and many artists have really high minimums. I'm thankful for Victoria because she could come to my hotel and get me ready and I looked absolutely amazing on my wedding day - my dream look was really achieved. She took my feedback and suggestions really well. She was always very sweet and kind. However, I had some problems leading up to the day that meant I can't leave a 5 star review... I had some communication problems because my emails would sometimes bounce back and my calls go to a phone no longer in service - one time I even had to reach out to her on Facebook to get in touch with her (after I had paid). I booked my trial with her and drove from where I live in DC down to Richmond (even staying in a hotel overnight) and she wasn't there. I was truly shocked. She was very apologetic and came up to meet me in my apartment in DC for my trial instead, but it left a pretty bad impression and made me very anxious for my wedding day. I'm really glad I did the trial because there were some things I wanted to fix for the wedding day (all of which she achieved, except for having the fake eyelashes be a bit too long so they butted up against my glasses, which I pointed out for the trial but was still a problem on the wedding day. I've had my makeup done for other weddings and the fake eyelashes weren't a problem then, so I know shorter ones exist...) Thankfully, she was better at communicating over text after that and showed up on time for my wedding day and everything worked out really well, so all's well that ends well, but there were some bumps in the road.
