I had my brows done by Gina on October 5, 2018. If I could give zero stars I would. When I called…read moreher to schedule the procedure, I was excited and failed to ask a lot of pertinent questions. Gina on the other hand had no information or advice to offer. I had read about the procedure, and every studio I called was booked. Gina was the only one with availability right away. First red flag. At the time I believe she had 6 reviews and they were all 5 stars. That seemed good enough for me. What I failed to realize is that all the people who left reviews were first timers on yelp. A clear indication that they were probably friends and trying to boost her ratings. Second red flag. When I arrived, I was ushered to a little back room with a narrow make shift bed reserved for waxing eyebrows. Gina applied generic lidocaine to my brows. She told me her boss has to order it for her because she is not licensed. Then she left me for 30 min. During this time someone walking by turned off the light in the room which I was. So I laid there in the dark until Gina returned. She asked me what shape did I want? I showed her a picture as an example and she went to work stenciling etc. Then she brought out her tools. She literally had to place her case of tools on the floor while she worked because the make shift room had no table where she could place them. While she was busy microblading my brows, someone walked past and turned off the light again thinking there was no one in the room. Smh. When she was done and did the big reveal I was speechless. She asked me if I liked it and I did not respond. I told her I didn't understand why the brows were so big. Also my left brow had an exaggerated arch and the right brow was arch less. They looked nothing like the picture I showed her. She explained that the brows would shrink and fade and i would need a touch up. She told me to rub a thin layer of aquaphor during the day and a thick layer before I shower and bedtime. I paid the $400 fee and left there unsure of what the heck I just did. So I go about my day and my life. I do not receive one compliment on my brows from anyone. Strange because I received lots of compliments when i filled them in myself. So by the third day huge chunks of scabs are falling off my brows. I'm shocked because the scabs are full of color. Literally four days later the scabs have completely peeled off and I'm left with a faint trace of a bad tattoo on my brows. I text Gina on Tuesday October 9th and attach a pic to show her what's left of her work. Mind you my brows have not healed and I'm having to fill them in anyway. Gina told me that's what happens and I should look up microblading. She then said she could reschedule me for a retouch the following week. That is the last I heard from Gina. She never scheduled me. Never checked back in. No after care follow up up, nothing. Gina and this salon seem to be all about the money. She sure does not care about the clients. I was not confident in her ability to provide the brows I wanted so I probably would not have gone for a retouch. At least the tattoo she gave has faded enough to where I can fill it in and make my brows look natural. $400 is a lot to pay for a 30 minute tattoo. Just make sure you do your research before getting this done and use someone who is experienced and reputable.

I got my brows microbladed by Gina last year and it has been such a lifesaver and time saver! My…read morebrows were always sparse and it would take so long to draw them in ever day. I never felt comfortable leaving the house without with bare brows . Word of advice : YOU HAVE TO GO FOR YOUR TOUCH UP! After the first session heals you must go for the touch up to get the full results . Gina is so skilled when it comes to shaping your brows to your face. You just tell her what you want and she gives you exactly that. It's been over a year and I still constantly get complimented by friends and strangers about my brows and have referred many people to her.

Handsdown one of the best experiences I've ever had with a beauty professional.

When you find a skilled professional that has an amazing bedside manner- you share her! No gate keeping here! Run! You'll feel amazing after your appointments, not only with confidence but with your conversations shared as well. She doesn't just focus on your beauty needs, she focuses on you! Sandra

My sister was very happy with the results and she had so much more confidence in her appearance that she shared her happiness with me over the phone. Her eyebrows looked phenomenal!! Mine have also stopped growing back in the last few years as I have aged. I was a little unsure about tattooing my eyebrows as I have heard and seen some women who have suffered from a rather poor longterm outcome from getting permanent tattooing of their eyebrows, but I decided to take the plunge! I live all the way across the US, but I took a chance on Casey and I am so glad I did! I flew across the US twice just to go to Casey. She was phenomenal!! She's a beautiful person inside and out, so unbelievably kind and patient, and does such a great job! I got the powder brow service and the price was very reasonable. Casey did the initial tattooing and then I came back a little less than two months later for the standard touch-up process. I was so happy with how they turned out, I couldn't believe it! Casey did exactly what I wanted but also made sure I would get desirable results by recommending shape suited for my face. Her business is so clean, aesthetically pleasing and relaxing, and she is just the sweetest gal on the planet! She has the right touch and a perfect eye for gorgeous brows on ANY face! I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you so much, Casey, for giving me confidence again and for lessening the time for my eyebrow routine each day! You are the BEST!!

Update on Brooke's response to my prior review. She is a liar. I did not ask for nor approve these…read morehorrid eyebrows. No sane person would ever request solid (no strokes) thick heavy opaque brows with an angry bird arch going way, way, way outside natural brow lines. Just had second laser removal and dark splotches remain; dermatologist explained she went too deep into layers of skin so he'll try for a third removal but is not optimistic. Brooke is escaping accountability by claiming I asked to look like a freak. I am permanently disfigured by her and she has the audacity to blame me. I suspect her web pictures are fake. Don't take her word. She lies. Welcome to contact me for facts and to see her "work". Be advised this practice is not licensed in NC. Neither is the ink approved so it's a completely unregulated field and any huckster can claim to be anything with a slick web site. Brooke is a huckster with a slick website. I wish I didn't have to think of her ever again but every time I look in the mirror I want to cry. My disfigured face is a constant reminder. Don't risk it. Two other points: I am taking the advice of my medical doctor dermatologist not you Brooke. Also suddenly two more positive reviews showed up here. Yea right, I doubt those are real.

I read another review of someone who had a bad experience and it's almost like she wasn't even at the same place with the same artist because several people I know use her and they've all had great experiences too. If you are considering brows, eye liner or lip blushing, I'd def connect with Brooke! It's a shame some people try and tear down small businesses. Keep up the good work B!

Service: powder brows Overall: 3.5 stars…read more The studio is very clean and the aesthetic is nice. It is a relaxing atmosphere and the staff are kind and welcoming. My eyebrows have been difficult to maintain over the years and I disliked that they were not even in shape, fill, arch, etc. So my primary goal in getting powder brows was for my brows to be evened out, filled in, and easy to maintain semi-long term. I went in for the main appointment and 1 follow up appointment, and ultimately still feel that my brows are uneven. In the follow up appointment, I tried to point out the area that I was still concerned about, but the artist and I did not seem to agree over this trouble spot. She said they were fine and even from her perspective, but now a few weeks out, I still see it as an issue. Additionally, a lot of focus was spent on filling and shaping one brow over the other and now one is clearly more filled than the other. I won't be going in for another follow up appointment due to cost and results thus far. Ultimately, I will not invest in this service again in the future.
