Idiot me. I think at the beginning of November I called to make an appointment for November 22nd and this time I stuck with it. I went on Saturday at 2 pm and had my appointment with Tiffany. What an amazing experience it was. First off the logo is catchy as fuck. The shop is small but also really good size. The receptionist was quite pleasant. Then I met my artist Tiffany. So gosh darn talented. I was originally going to get 4 words but instead got 2. I wanted a really cool design for the words so I was doing some research and Tiffany had some cool cursive font on her instagram that I think would pop out. She worked with me on the size of the tattoo and the color and everything. Then it came time for the tattoo. I was so nervous but she gave me a pillow to lay my head on and that helped and then she went to work. She chatted with me through the whole thing and she took her time to. The chatting helped to distract me from the uncomfortableness of the tattoo. They also were very good with letting me know about aftercare instructions which was huge. Btw Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban was playing when I went in which was amazing. Honestly everything went amazing. It was such a welcoming place. Will be back for future tattoos. Thank you Boston barber tattoos and the owner for making this a welcoming place. You have earned a new client. Now to try out the barber side of this establishment!!

Besides the fact that my piercer was nice and it was easy to get an appointment, the rest of my experience left a lot to be desired. I am going to include all the details here so that when Annalisa comments and asks me to reach out to share more details we can all know that this is a canned response and they truly don't care about their customers. Day of piercing. They were a bit behind. No worries. I chose my jewelry and was get my flat helix pierced. The piercer marked the spot, though she didn't use a light or anything to check for blood vessels. I'm not a piercer, so maybe not all piercings require that. Honestly the initial experience was more or less fine. It was about one month later that my piercing got knocked out of my ear in the shower. I was flabbergasted because I have several other ear piercings and it is actually impossible to remove them. I literally had to sign a waiver for an MRI bc I couldn't get them out. Studs jewelry, on the other hand, is cheap cheap cheap despite the unnecessarily high pricetag. I was fortunate to find both pieces of the earring when it fell out and I attempted to get it back in. My ear was swollen and then grew much more swollen through my attempts to get it back in. I figured I was causing harm so I decided to stop and go back in. I called to see if I could pop in before I left for vacation the next day. They don't have a phone in their studios. Like what? I figured I had no other choice but to go in and quickly ask someone who does this all day long to quickly pop it back in. When I walked in and shared the story at the desk, you would think I was asking them to perform a root canal. The receptionist seemed outraged that I would make such a request 15 minutes before closing when there is still one appointment left for the day. I let her know that I'd be happy to wait. I was told they have to close. Like duh, I understand, but this will take like three seconds. My entire piercing appt was 3 minutes. Like y'all, we can make this happen. Like I mentioned, I was going on vacation and I didn't want my brand new piercing that cost like $80 to close up. I thought they wouldn't want it either. A good piercing out of that studio is a walking billboard. The receptionist agreed to ask the piercer. A lady comes down with a horrible attitude, does not introduce herself and tells me why it is not possible for them to put my earring in. I asked how long it would take. She informed me a couple of seconds. She spoke to me in such a condescending way using phrases like, "what I am trying to explain to you is...," "what you don't understand is...," "if you would just let me finish..." She also told me that they work 8 hours and have to come back the next day to do the same thing as if they are the only people in the world with a job. I literally have never spoken to a customer about my work schedule as an excuse to not be kind and accommodating. Now I thought I was talking to the piercer. I said how about we get this in my ear instead of yapping about it. Turns out it was the manager, Sasha. I was being spoken down to by the manager. Customer service 101 is listening and she was unable to listen, she spoke over me time and time again using sarcasm which I did not appreciate. I get really anxious in this type of situation and my eyes welled up and she told me, "to stop crying. There is no reason to be crying." Anyone who is highly sensitive knows that makes it way worse. The manager should not be saying that to a customer. She eventually went to ask the piercer if it was possible. Upon her return she asked me to sign a waiver (like for what plus I already signed it for this exact hole) and then tried to charge me a $15 jewelry change fee. I was outraged. This should have been a courtesy given the horrible quality of the jewelry. If your jewelry falls out in the shower, that is a quality issue. While I was waiting for the manager to speak to the piercer, the receptionist gave me a tip for getting it back in myself. Bro, if we started there, this would have never gotten blown out of proportion. So all that said, I will only be going to a real piercer from now on. The quality of jewelry is better. I've had more healing issues here than any of my other piercings. Oh and they tend to be legitimately nice in real piercings studio. Just don't bother. Even if the initial appt seems fine, there are long term repercussions for getting pierced there.

When looking for PMU for my eyebrows years ago, there was nobody else more highly recommended to me…read morethan BrowMuse and Mila. Often times, microbladed or nano brows look quite "rectangular" to me - specific lines, boxed in, all looking the same. The first time I went to have my brows done, about 4 years ago, was when Mila first switched from microblading to nano brows. And I was absolutely floored by the amount of time she put into sketching the right brow shape for my face and explaining why the shape complimented my face. She is a perfectionist and it shows. Every appointment has me leaving with exactly how I want my brows - even a year when I asked if she could touch something up and I got right back on the table. She also always has the most up-to-date technology - I went in yesterday for my yearly and she already had newer technology since I was there a year ago when she had just upgraded tech then! She is also the most professional yet easy to talk with - appointments fly by with someone like this. If you are looking for someone to work with you on your brows for years, go see Mila. I don't even go for brow maintenance to a beauty bar every 3 months as I used to as I'm so confident!

I've been going to Mila for nearly a decade, and I can't recommend her enough! I originally left a…read more5-star review, but after my account was hacked and reset, many of my reviews disappeared--which was frustrating. Once I realized my review was gone, I knew I had to come back and share my experience again. I have very uneven eyebrows due to a scar over one eye, making one brow sit slightly higher. After years of searching for someone I could truly trust, I found Mila, and I've never looked back. Her precision and expertise have consistently given me incredible results. Even when she moved from New York to Boston, I didn't hesitate to make the trip for my touch-ups--she's that good! I may not have my original before-and-after pictures anymore, but I have plenty of photos that showcase her amazing work. If you're looking for someone who truly understands brows, Mila is the one! Nobody even realizes my brows are microbladed and that's really always the goal! Natural work that makes you feel confident. She's exactly the style and shape that I have always liked and that's why I will recommend her over and over again. I've had many friends go to her that I referred and they all feel the same way!

You'll wish she was your friend. Pretty Chic offers some of the best micropigmentation in Boston for eyebrows, eyeliner and lips... BUT... Full disclosure, so you know I'm telling the truth, I was not five star 100% happy with my original eyebrow permanent makeup. Yet, as soon as May found out, she got me right back in to do another "touch-up," and to add more hair strokes, until it looked... PERFECT. THAT is how much she cares about her clients' getting the best permanent makeup in Boston. THE PRICE: the prices at Pretty Chic are pretty reasonable too... especially compared to high-end city salons that have to pay Newberry Street rent and fund an expensive advertising budget. THE DEAL: if you're looking for some of Boston's best micropigmentation, at an affordable price, look no further than Pretty Chic!

I had been a micro blading model for a student and had a follow up with someone else. My original appointment was at 2. I drove 45 mins, got there on time and was told 5 mins past my appointment start that the student they scheduled for my touch up wasn't coming in. They offered to start 40 or so minutes later when a different student arrived. I begrudgingly agreed because I was already there and I was reminded appointments were hard to come by. Finally about an hour went by (3pm) and they were ready. I told them I needed to leave by 3:45 latest to get my children from daycare and they assured me they could do it (my first mistake I should have known doing such procedure rushed is probably not The best idea). Anywho long story short... I'm on day 10 of healing and my brows look terrible. I lost Almost all my natural brow hairs on one side and the ink is barely even visible (it's this strange gray ash color). I went to see another PMU after being brushed off by the staff at Pigementa as if it wasn't a big deal. The PMU I saw said she believes the artist went too deep and damaged my hair follicles and that's also why the color isn't as strong. The reaction and nonchalant responses I got from Pigmenta was concerning. They basically brushed me off and told me there's no way they go too deep. Well, I believe it to be true - so beware!!!!

I told Julia what was happening to me and she begged me to come back and let her look, so my daughter brought me back there first. She then proceeded to say I had a minor abrasion and maybe I should go to the hospital just for safety. After that I didn't hear from her in 3 Days. She told me I was being dramatic I ended up being out of work for one week in severe pain. If I could give her zero stars I would but it makes me give her at least one star. I would never recommend her again for this type of service.
