I purchased an eyebrow microblading service with a 6-week touch-up through Groupon as a gift for my girlfriend, but unfortunately the entire experience has been very disappointing. Scheduling the appointment is done through text messages. The website is misleading as it appears you can book an appointment at a wide range of time slots; however those times are not true to the owner's availability. The website also does not allow you to book the touch-up, and those appointments must also be arranged via text. Many of my messages have gone unanswered (read receipts to prove that), making it challenging to secure an appointment within the recommended timeframe. My girlfriend's initial appointment was in January, and it is not April and she still has not received the follow-up appointment. Additionally, punctuality was an issue during the initial appointment, and the overall experience was extremely unprofessional. I chose this business because through research, it seemed like a great professional business, but that has proven not to be the case. Overall, due to the lack of communication, scheduling difficulties, and unprofessional environment, I would not recommend wasting time or money on this business! There are many other options in the area that I think would provide better service. read more

My amazing boyfriend purchased an eyebrow microblading service with a 6-week touch-up through Groupon as a gift, but unfortunately my experience has been disappointing. Scheduling the follow-up appointment has been extremely difficult. The website does not allow you to book the touch-up, and appointments must be arranged via text. Many of my messages have gone unanswered, making it challenging to secure an appointment within the recommended timeframe. Additionally, punctuality was an issue during the initial appointment, and the overall experience felt unprofessional. The owner brought her child, who repeatedly entered the room and interrupted the service. It has now been about 8 weeks since my initial appointment (past the 6-week touch-up window) and I have still been unable to schedule the included follow-up service. Overall, due to the lack of communication, scheduling difficulties, and unprofessional environment, I do not recommend this business. read more

I had such a fun day meeting Coco. We connected very well and she did a beautiful job on my browse. She's very talented at what she does. I felt very comfortable in her studio and the salon building that she is in is very fun and working. I felt safe and welcomed and I can't wait to go back for my six week touchup. Thank you, Coco read more

Just added some additional photos. It's been 3 days since Coco did my brows. They were a little tender the first two days but they feel great today on day three! read more

I left the appointment feeling like a million bucks! I am a perfectionist and my eyebrows always had some issues with them. I got tired of painting over them and decided to go to browvation. I made the appointment with coco. Initially i was skeptical because of one review but i decided to give her a chance and boy am i glad i did.! First is customer service: her personality is very good, she talks to you like a friend and make you feel comfortable Second my brows. Well ill post a picture for you to judge Third is that she was understanding of my vision and didnt try to put her opinion in, she did her thing and actually kept going in to fix em because she wasnt satisfied. I rearly leave reviews for beauty services but i cant stop looking in the mirror so i decided to write this one. read more

***Update*** For March 13th, 2018*** Coco AKA Cordelia, Owner. Is having her friends and or family harass me...See photo below this is the 2nd one so far. I politely asked you to STOP harassing me Coco. If you were smart you would use this post to grow and become better at what you do. But instead you choose to harass me. I am reporting you to Yelp and if you and friends continue, I will report you to the authorities thank you. *Update 2/25/18 Being harassed by owner "Cordelia" AKA CoCo therefore, 1 Star. I would have given this place 1 star but because Maria tried her best to save my eyebrows. Therefore, I have given this place 2 stars. I have hypothyroidism, And when its really bad, it causes my eyebrows hairs to fall out on the outter corners. I have done intensive research on microblading and choose browvation because they had posted their work on there website. And although Appx. 100 miles and almost 6 hours of traveling (depending on traffic) I choose to have my eyebrows microbladed. I did ask for the person who was responsible for the eyebrows in the photos. ( Now, I know it was Maria because CoCo has zero clue of how to make a hair like stroke and seem to lack professional microblading traning) although, Coco took credit for the online photos. First off CoCo messed up my eyebrows. She made them different shapes although I stated, and made VERY clear my eyebrows are curved and want them to remain that way. She still went ahead and tried to arch the right eyebrow. ( So, imagine a curved eyebrow and one arched eyebrow on your face... my thoughts, exactly) She also suggest an ink with a blue under tone. She said most of her dark haired clients choose (btw, my hair is jet black)...well I am not a professional and decided to go with her suggestion. (I did ask if it will turn green or blue over time like a regular tattoo...she said no. Microblading is not a tattoo) Well... My eyebrows were different shapes and just a frigging hot mess. She had another client and suggesting I wait for the scabs to fall off. But when I got home I realized my the eyebrows did not match, and one was higher than the other. WTF! How reckless to send me off into the world looking like a frigging Clown? I messaged and called CoCo the following day to explain my discontent. A week past the ink she used on my eyebrows started to look blueish. She give me some push back but agreed to the fix as per browvation policy, mind you I pre-paid for a 6 week follow-up to fill in, in the event of fading.(providing they were done correctly the first time.) They offered a free 2 week fix.(As per policy) I choose to return after a week because my eyebrows looked horrible. Thank God I choose Maria this time...she fixed the mess and I left feeling relieved. She did the best she could since CoCo already made harsh thick lines. Does not look like hair strokes like microblading is supposed to look like. The lines are supposed to look like "hair" and very natural. Her strokes were thick, long and deep lines like a tattoo. 0o Dear CoCo, leave the microblading to someone who knows what they are doing you clearly don't. And your EGO will not allow you to accept the responsibility of admitting you messed up my eyebrows BIG TIME. I find you to be deliberately malicious and bias against certain ethnicities. You should not own a business which offer services to the public if you are afraid or dislike certain members of the human population. And please refrain from contacting me, I have no interest in talking to you...I Will NEVER return. **Update 2/25/18. Dear "Cordelia" the owner told me her name was "CoCo, I don't know you. As I stated in my review, CoCo has done enough damage to my eyebrows And Please refrain from contacting me. I will consider any contact from you HARASSMENT! read more

My mom and I had a great experience with Teresa. We absolutely love our brows. They look so natural! My mom was visiting from the east coast and Teresa was able to fit us in on her day off. Thank you Teresa! I am really particular about my brows, they have to be on fleek ‍ every time I leave my house. Teresa was able to maintain my natural shape and fill in the gaps. She literally saved me 20 mins every morning. My mom will fly back solely for her touch up. Hands down Teresa is amazing at what she does. read more

Very disappointed in this business and I came to the conclusion that they do not work with Groupon clients even though they advertise specials on Groupon. She made excuses as to why they would not work with me after I purchased through Groupon two different specials. I received notification 2.5 hours prior to my appointment that she was cancelling me due to a "schedule conflict" even though I received all this information from her about how she books her appointments, makes a strict schedule, etc. Highly unprofessional and not impressed with their customer service. read more

Coco has a great establishment !!!! Her and all the women who work there are very professional and friendly. My consultation with Maria was very professional, she answered all my questions and concerns regarding my previous brow tattoos. Both Coco and Maria are very knowledgeable in suggesting color and shape for your brows. Maria did a miracle job covering my brow tattoos, you can't even tell my brows were even previously tattooed. What makes Browvation even better is that you can get your lashes done too!! Destiny is the best she mixed purple and pink and gave me a BOMB set of classics!! BROWVATION is a must in AV ~ read more

Teresa did my brows last week and I am really loving them! She was professional and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about the process and made me feel comfortable. I'm getting lots of compliments, even from a very skeptical coworker who is also a cosmetologist, which to me says a lot. I have to say my brows look amazing! read more

When I was younger I plucked my eyebrows a little too much, leaving me with some bald spots. After this, I had to fill in my eyebrows as a part of my daily routine. I have heard about microblading but was always hesitant about it since it is long term commitment and you can't wash them off at the end of the day. Coco helped me a lot throughout this journey. She took the time to explain the process to me and get my feedback through it all. She asked me my preferences and how I was feeling while she worked on my eyebrows. I was able to keep my natural shape and have those spots filled in for a fuller natural look. Now my daily routine is cut much shorter and it makes my life easier, I mean who doesn't want to wake up with great brows? THANK YOU COCO for giving such good service and making this experience so pleasant. read more

Coco took her time with my consultation making sure my brows were exactly how I wanted them before I comitted to mircoblading. The procedure was much less painful than I expected, she took about 40 minutes to make sure I was numb with a topical anesthetic, the mirco blading itself took about an hour and my results were amazing. No more brow powder. No more un even arches. It saves me so much time. Since my brows healed I have gotten permanent lip color and eyeliner. I would recommend browvation to anyone! read more
