Today was my initial session, and I'm confident when I'm back in 6 weeks for the "touch up" it will be another great experience. In terms of what I had done, it was scar camouflage on my forehead. Shonna was amazing. She took the time to explain the layering methods she employs and spent a good while shade-blending three dyes very carefully to match my skin tone. By the time she finished I had a clear understanding of the stages of healing, and what to expect in the next few weeks. She clearly is very, very good at what she does, and she's improving lives.

She helps and is not pushy. She lets students learn on their own but If students need assistance she will be there in a flash. The atmosphere was clean & colorful! The only con is the parking. However, Richard insured our meters were paid for the entire time we spent at the academy. I highly recommend participating in Betty's course because she's professional and she's living proof of a hard working women who achieves her goals. I participated in the 3 day course which is the platinum package. The deal includes everything in the silver & gold package along with microshading techniques & a full kit. I was able to practice on 2 models on the last two days.

I already have full eyebrows, but they were so light they seemed nonexistent, she did a great job outlining and highlighting my light hairs. She did a great job of picking up on what features to run with and what areas had room for improvements. Many stops along the way to let you see what she is doing and make sure that it is what you are wanting. I am really happy with my new and improved eyebrows! Salon is super cute. Extra covid sanitation precautions are in place.

After touching her phone, Terah never changed her gloves. She put ointment on her finger and put it on my lips that had hundreds of holes in my lips from the tatooing. Terah was upset and texting because she broke up with her boyfriend the night before. She plays music that continually has the "F" word in it. The only two times that I've seen her, she was on the phone at the beginning of our session with her best friend saying somuch profanity. Very unprofessional.

Got eyeliner on both eyes and insufficient numbing cream. Extremely painful. The eyeliner wore off…read morein 2 weeks and had to return for a second application. Excrutiating, like he was taking a sledgehammer to my eyes. Note: the eye is the most sensitive are of the face. There's no extra skin or fat protecting it. He never once asked, 'How are you? How are you feeling?' I vomited on the street after leaving. My eyes oozed green pus on and off for four days and couldn't work as my vision was impaired. Since then, my impression from speaking to other permanent make up practices is that perhaps he does not do this procedure very often. Sure, better numbing agent probably would've helped. But green pus out of both eyes? Had to see an opthalmologist, so this procedure got more expensive. Would've been better off seeing someone who cost more but had more experience. He operated out of beauty salon off of Macadam. He has an OHSU logo on his website and after I checked with the department of Dermatology at OHSU, he has no affiliation with them.

10/10 stars! Angelina helped transform me from the inside out. First, cosmetic/facial tattoos…read moreprovided relief from allergies caused by makeup products. With Angelina's flawless work I don't have to color in my eyebrows, apply eyeliner, or lipstick. My sensitive skin is loving it. If I get my lashes lifted and tinted I literally just do my skincare routine, my hair and I'm ready for the day. Next, these took my confidence to the next level because I no longer worry someone caught me on an "ugly day" where I don't have the spoons to apply minimal makeup. Just that tiny change to my everyday has had a palpable impact on my confidence. I feel like I shine everyday, effortlessly. Then when I do get done up and go out, oh my god I go fucking super nova. No joke. Angelina's work is so natural that people don't believe that my makeup is actually tattoos. Angelina's work is affordable and is comparable to how much you save from buying makeup. Instead you just pay her periodically to touch up the work as needed and wanted. I'd rather pay Angelina than Sephora, but that's just me. Not all of the options and services are permanent. So you can test things out and see if you like them. If you don't end up wanting to continue when you try it, many of the tattoos will fade over time. I did semi-permanent micro-blading for my eyebrows before ever committing to eye liner. And lip blush is not permanent either so you can even change lipstick colors. Angelina has the softest touch. I have fallen asleep while she was tattooing my eyelids. My eyelids, people! It's so fun and rewarding. I am always excited and grateful to get to see Angelina.

I get compliments constantly on my "lipstick" shade and how well it compliments me. Both of which I got almost 2 years ago, and they are holding strong!! I just recently visited her to get my lash line tattooed, and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!
