There are two decisions that I've made this year that were the absolute BEST choices of all times!…read more The first - to get my eyeliner tattooed on. Last summer I moved from Southeast Massachusetts to Washington, DC and was invited to return again this summer. My first thought was, "I am not going to survive another 100plus degree heat and my beautiful black eyeliner running constantly!!" I sport a punky 80's look, and my eyeliner is a crucial component to my person. What I also did not know, was that I would be embarking on a particularly emotional and mind-blowing time of encountering past and present losers, family drama, etc. which would result in much crying and flushing out the eyes (and now that's ALL done). And through it ALL - my eyes and makeup continue to look PERFECT!!! Lemme tell you, that certainly gave me alot of street cred when everyone else looked a mess : ) The second BEST decision I made - was to go to Nikki Leitao for my eyeliner tattoo!!! I found Nikki when I began researching the field, and was looking through a professional licensure/organization website for cosmetic tattooing. After looking through her VERY detailed website, I also discovered that she is responsible for making it possible to perform this service in Salem, Massachusetts. I figured if she helped to write and push this licensing legislature through, then she was the absolute best - and I was not disappointed. The price was right (I had saved and budgeted) and I got a little discount for being a first time customer. Don't be fooled by the tattoo shop where Nikki works - she has her own room in the back - with privacy and relaxing music. I appreciated how much time Nikki took with me to make certain that every detail was discussed and confirmed by me. She is an outstanding makeup artist (look at her webpage) and I trusted her completely. Nikki was also REALLY patient with me....I talk alot....I ask alot of questions....I need to externally process everything going on...this woman was AMAZING with me. After the 4plus hour appointment (yes, she works HARD) I was armed with my takehome kit and directions to make a 6 week "touch up" appointment. This is when Nikki looks to see if there are any spots that have faded, etc. Unfortunately, circumstances caused me to have to move to DC sooner than I thought - so I won't be able to make my appointment until I return in August...but my eyes STILL look amazing. I am sick with allergies and the flu, so I'll post a photo when I look more human. The first two days after the procedure, I wore my glasses and no contact lenses...and remained mostly indoors. I used the healing ointment in my take-home kit sparingly...and I used the mini freezer pods to sooth the swelling. I've got tattoos and so was ready for the pain...but it really just felt like I had conjunctivitis...and I couldn't pick the crust away. The result? I look gorgeous. Thank you, thank you Nikki! Now I'm going to save up to have her outline my lips a little and balance out the color. Oh yes, and this saves me SO much time and money!!

HUGE shout out to Gina at Prettyology. Had microblading done two days ago with her and I'm…read moreIMPRESSED. After years of over-plucking my brows (hello 90s!) and some martial arts blows to the brow area, I was left with patchy and mismatched brows. Filling them in was the bane of my morning makeup routine and I inevitably was left with two fuller but still obviously mismatched and oddly-shaped brows. After an initial consultation, I made an appointment. I was nervous, mostly because it's a semi-permanent FACIAL tattoo. If I didn't like the results, there'd be no going back for quite awhile. Gina was patient with my nervousness and REALLY listened to what I wanted, and added her professional opinions of what would work for my face and how brows can alter your look. Gina's attention to detail was key in getting exactly the ***perfect*** brows for my face. I got up front the chair and it looked like I had had a face lift! My friends were floored in the change in my before and afters. Prettyology provides detailed instructions on before and after care for microblading, and has a beautiful salon on Newbury Street. They are also the first place to bring microblading to Boston. Highly recommend.
