Brows need love too. I sought out TJ at Beauty Logic when I saw the incredible transformations on her Insta feed. I went in for a microblading consultation. As someone who doesn't like to spend a lot of time getting ready, I am always looking for ways to tighten up my beauty routine. Brows seem to be taking the longest these days, and I am totally down for something that will save me time while looking as natural as possible.
If you're like me you've probably seen a lot of the old school permanent brows around, which are just too artificial looking for my taste. Microblading is a newer and more aesthetically pleasing alternative which uses fine strokes to deposit pigment under the skin, mimicking brow-like hairs for a more natural result.
TJ was very clear about what microblading entails, and explained that it will require some post-procedure down time and care for a few weeks. I decided to wait until I have a good chunk of time to devote to this but meanwhile, opted for a temporary solution with brow tinting using Henna. TJ explained that it is a newer option that she began offering recently, and that results vary with each client. For instance, those with oilier complexions may not have as good a result because the Henna may not adhere to the skin for as long a period. I decided to try it out anyway, being that my skin is not very oily in my forehead area. The process took just 30 minutes.
May I say that upon initial viewing, I was a bit shocked, but after a day or two I was very pleased with the results. I would say the Henna lasted for almost 2 weeks of brow bliss! I didn't have to fill in my brows and shaved off about 5 minutes of glam up time. I was sold. Since then, I've been back twice for retouches and will continue to until I'm in a good place to have the microblading done.
I noticed that lash lifts are another service that TJ provides, and the results on her Insta feed were pretty incredible. I am not a fan of lash extensions, and while I can certainly appreciate and understand their convenience, I don't like their artificial appearance, especially when they're grown out and make the eyes look droopy, and the risk of infection (I'm a stickler for proper eye hygiene and would just die if I can't wash my eyes every day) gives me creepy chills.
TJ looked at my lashes and said I have enough length that it shouldn't be a problem (not to fear, even people with shorter lashes can benefit from lash lifts under TJ's expert care!), so I made an appointment. The process takes just about 1.5 hours, most of which is spent arranging the lashes on a small rod to ensure evenness and just the right amount of lift. I was a little apprehensive about the solution causing me issues, but it was so gentle and didn't bother me one bit.
Wow. Even after seeing all the before and after photos, I was so stunned when TJ handed me the mirror and I saw what magic she had done! My lashes looked so long and felt so natural. They were expertly spaced and really opened up my eyes. I was ah-mazed! My sister noticed right off the bat when she saw me and couldn't believe they were my real lashes. I was so pleased with the results that, of course, I will go back once my lift needs to be refreshed. (the lift typically lasts between 4-6 weeks). Shave another few minutes off getting face-ready, check!
TJ is friendly, gentle, knowledgeable, always ensures my comfort, and explains everything thoroughly. Her treatment room is cheery, very clean, and comfortable. Aside from brow and lash services, she offers a wide variety of waxing services for almost every body part. If you want to try something new like a lash lift or brow tint, TJ is your gal! read more
