My eyebrows have no shape and they're so bare. I had been entertaining the idea of getting my…read moreeyebrows micro bladed for months. So I reached out to Kristina, based off a referral. She went over the whole process with me and gave me my options, and she really put me at ease. I have multiple tattoos on my body, but for some reason this made me nervous! I decided to bite the bullet and do it, and I'm so happy that I did. Since this was something pretty drastic for me to do, I wanted the amount of shading to be subtle. And Kristina found the perfect balance. She gave my brows shape without overdoing the color. Throughout the whole process, she made me feel very comfortable. Kristina checks up on me often to make sure I'm happy, and she gave me a touch up a few weeks later. As the color fades in the future, I'll definitely go back to Kristina again. And I look forward to it! She is so incredibly friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to give microblading a try.

My experience with symmetrical artistry was not good, which was a bummer since it seems to be well…read moreregarded by many. I got powder brows, and the process was fine. I did feel judged for wearing a mask which wasn't cool, but whatever. Comments on my brows during my consultation also were a bit critical which seemed unnecessary. It was kind of everything else that made the whole experience a disaster. As I left my initial powder brows appointment, I scheduled a touch-up (included in service as long as it's within 8 weeks). When I arrived weeks later for my appointment, no one was there. As a matter of full disclosure, I was five minutes late. Yet I was surprised, because I've never been to a place where an employee would walk out the door if a client wasn't there exactly on time. I rang the bell and knocked on the door since it could reasonably be a security measure if someone was alone, but the place was dark and the door was locked. Thinking perhaps folks were running late, I sat on their patio to wait a few minutes. After maybe 10-ish minutes I called the salon number. Five to eight minutes elapsed with no response so I followed the instructions on the voicemail, which said to text for a faster response. I got a text from the owner saying that they were at an event and immediately after the text--whilst taking a screenshot of my confirmation text that I'd received two days prior--she called to say that they didn't have me on the schedule and asked if I had received a confirmation. I forwarded the confirmation and she said that the woman who was doing my brows had asked the day before if she had an appointment. She apologized, I rescheduled, but I'd planned the weekend of child's birthday party around this appointment and turned down plans because they conflicted so I was indeed pretty annoyed. Although it was outside the 8 week timeframe--my appointment was at the 8 week mark--they didn't charge me for going outside the initial touch-up timeframe (which would be expected but not always guaranteed). It would have been nice for them to tell the receptionist that though, since she stopped me as I was leaving thinking I hadn't paid. If I had to make the choice again, I wouldn't do the brows. All I can say is that your mileage may vary. It's undoubtedly a rare occurrence but the schedule thing and lack of communication makes me feel their reliability is suspect. And I'm not sure about going back for touch-ups if I need them in a few years.

I recently had my eyebrows tattooed by Lana. It is a two-step process, the two appointments are…read moreabout one month apart. I am due for my second appointment this weekend at which time I plan to also get the eyeliner done. Lana is extremely professional - both with her communication via telephone/email while setting up the appointment, the office is clean and relaxing, and she wore a gown, mask, googles, and gloves during the entire procedure. She cleaned my entire face with alcohol before starting the procedure and I was impressed at how immaculate the whole set-up was. She even let me take videos while she was tattooing -- my friends were so curious how it's done, I wanted to have something to show them. Before even starting the tattoo process, Lana spent over two hours mixing pigments to find the perfect shade for my face. She was never rushed and often mixed and remixed, shaped then reshaped until she was satisfied we found the perfect color and shape for my face. I thought this was really nice, I appreciated that she took her time during the planning phase. Lana was conscious of the pain and made sure to numb the eyebrow area really well before diving into the bulk of the tattoo. She had two different types of numbing agents - one was a cream, the other was a spray. After she applied the cream, she waited a good 20-30 minutes until it kicked it fully. Then, she would work a little bit then spray the other numbing agent until I was totally numb. And I will say, after a couple applications of the cream and spray, I was totally numb and didn't feel anything. It was nice to not feel the tattoo on your face! My tattoos were tattooed in the past by another artist about 10 years ago so it was faded and misshapen. Lana evened them out to one another and corrected the color as well. I am really happy with the finished product, and am excited to see how they look after the second appointment. I would totally recommend Lana for your permanent makeup - she is wonderful! Professional, clean, thorough, and very considerate... what more could you want from a cosmetic tattoo artist?

I went in and was greeted by Catrina and Lucia. The overall process did take longer because Lucia was being trained but I didn't mind at all. I arrived at 1pm and left at 4:30. It was reassuring to hear all of the proper steps and procedures necessary to do a great job. They took their time finding the right color and measuring my brows. I felt confident they knew exactly what they were doing. I will say, I have a high pain tolerance, and this was very painful to me!! But well worth it. My brows turned out beautiful! I will be back for more permanent makeup and recommend asking about being a model to receive discounted services!

**** Response to OmSpa response*****…read more yes, I waited with this review... - I wanted to make sure tissue was healed and I was 100% sure that results from OmSpa procedure will not improve. Only then I scheduled an appointment with new clinic. Then I waited for results of new treatment. And when treatment itself, healing and results were dramatically different I posted review this review. Did not want to rush with a bad review if results were same as OmSpa. - My tissue was the same for both treatments; both treatments were applied in same area. OmSpa procedure was extremely painful, recovery was extremely painful, and yes, I continued because I paid a lot of money to you and it was implied that it's my skin not technique. New clinic - essentially no pain during treatement, and amazing immediate recovery. And I understand you want it not to be that -but difference was technique

As a woman, it is rare to find someone you trust with all of your beauty care needs. I met Lisa…read moreover 5 years ago and instantly fell in love with her impeccable style. Once completing my bridal make-up trial with her, I realized she not only had great taste, but an amazing talent.

They are truly my one stop shop to make me feel beautified. When you trust someone to tattoo your face, it says a lot about their abilities. I highly recommend them for any beauty service. Considering multiple friends of mine have since had their bridal make-up and microblading done, I'd say everyone agrees!

GENERAL: I have been seeing Wanda for a few years now and…read morehave nothing but great things to say about her art work. I should mention that I am a general dentist working in Chicago and saying that I pay attention to detail is an understatement. To put it lightly, I can be a bit controlling and difficult to please. At my very first visit, I had my eyebrows done. I watched nervously in a mirror as she tattooed my eyebrows. I was surprised at how quickly she was finished. I have read that this procedure can take up to an hour but I was out in less than 30 min (with half of that time actually being tattooed). I hate to brag, but wow... my eyebrows look amazing!! I still get compliments on them to this day. My eyebrows were not bad before but I always thought they looked better a little filled in. Now I wake up every morning with perfect eyebrows! Its really great, I would recommend it to anyone. I later went back to see Wanda to get my eye liner done. Which I NEVER thought I would do for obvious reasons (like what if i didn't want to wear eyeliner somedays?). I told Wanda I wanted it to look very natural. I trusted her so much at this point, I just let her do her thing. She did such a phenomenal job. It looks exactly how I wanted it to look and I couldn't be happier. LOCATION: I have been 3 different locations to see Wanda. All were extremely easy to find. Parking was never an issue (even in her downtown location!) and all facilities were clean and comfortable. PAIN: I was very worried about how much this was going to hurt. I am a bit of a baby when it comes to needles and I grow especially frantic with thing close to my eyes. Wanda uses a topical numbing agent before she starts and this helped more than I can describe. She must use a very strong topical agent because the pain was much less than I was expecting. Ultimately, your still getting a tattoo on you eye lid so keep in mind its not the most comfortable feeling. Wanda works very quickly and so even if you are having a bad experience, it doesn't last very long. MONEY: This is a bit of an investment for beauty but I did some simple math and justified this expense. The amount of money I would have spend on eye liner and brow filler over the course of many years was much higher than what I would be investing on tattooing it in. When you combine that with the fact that you will be saving so much time getting ready every morning it seemed like a no brainer! Overall, Wanda is a true artist. She has been doing this for decades and now teaches other people how to do this art. She is an esthetic eye, works incredibly fast and is extraordinarily talented. I couldn't ask for better qualities in my permanent makeup artist.
