    I debated for a long time writing this review because I am not one who likes to damage a business. I am self employed and I know how hard it is to build a business. However, I have been through so much horror after getting my eyebrows done at this place. August 2017 I went and got my eyebrows microbladed by Havy. She was very sweet and looked like a professional. After taking measurements she told me that my brows were uneven and she had too microblade higher on my right brow to match the other. She went ahead and shaved my right brow, mostly the arch area( what was I thinking letting her do that!!) she continued with the procedure and when she was done my right brow was higher than the left. My brows were fine, she measured wrong. I trusted her. She said that the section that was uneven was going to fade but never did. I left feeling horrible but didn't say anything. Went to my car and started crying so much and finally took the courage to call her after 30 minutes of leaving the place. She returned half of the price I had paid. She returned $250 because she said she took almost two hours measuring. I just wanted my brows back!!! Didn't care about the money. Since then, I have spent thousands of dollars in tatoo make up concealers, professional make up cover ups, saline removals, chemicals peels etc. trying to make it fade without any success. It faded a bit but I still had a second brow. I am an artist and makeup its my daily routine so you can imagine all the time I have spent covering the second high arch she did then filling in my normal brow which I let grow again of course. It has been traumatizing for me. Its been horrible to see myself in the mirror but I found a way to deal with it. After all there are bigger problems in life, I thought. A week ago I took the courage and invested in a Picosure laser treatment and I want to say that most of the visible ink outside my normal brow hair is 90% gone after just one treatment. One more and all this will be in the past. I think that the fact I feel like myself again has given me the courage to finally talk about it. My saline removal technician kept telling me to disclose this to help others but I never wanted to do it. My review is not to cause her to loose business or to damage her but to make you be aware that she can make mistakes that will cost you. I have to say thay she did offer me to remove it with saline after 8 weeks but I just didn't want to see her again. Just be aware, I don't wish anybody to go through what I have been. This pictures are after getting a saline removal and the second is to show how it looks normally after saline removal was done the first time. It still looked very dark.

    Havy is amazing! She's funny, personable, and incredibly passionate and excited about her work! I felt like I was talking to a long time friend through the whole procedure. She's very knowledgeable and truly an artist. I have to admit, after my procedure, I freaked out for a couple days. My brows appeared super thick and super dark. I texted Havy about it, and she reassured me to trust the process, and they will lighten up and thin out. She was very responsive and calming which relieved my panic. So just know going in, due to swelling and scabbing, your brows will look huge, dark and possibly uneven, especially if you're coming from pencil thin brows. This is NORMAL! DON'T FREAK OUT! After a few days, they evened out and started to thin out. They're still dark because the scabbing hasn't fallen off yet, but because the swelling went down, they don't look as dark and burly. I honestly felt like a combo between Frida and Eddie Munster the first two days, but after that I LOVED and still LOVE my brows! They look amazing and they're not even done healing yet. I can't wait for the final result and the touch up! The two days of panic was totally worth it! I highly recommend Havy!

    The aftermath of Havy's work

    I thought I did enough research but evidently not. My husband feels I ruined myself by getting my microblading done here. My brows were HIGHLY uneven after the first session and I expressed my dissatisfaction with her and she said the second session evens them out. After the second session nothing changed! It looks like I had hired someone to do it off of craigslist with no experience. The bad part was she upselled me $150 more telling me I needed the shading. I spent almost $700 and I need to go to someone who actually knows what they're doing to fix them She did offer to refund me to delete this review but I felt it was unfair for everyone and also against yelp guidelines to do so. Which is the SOLE reason she received two stars. Update::she also threatened to sue for posting a review that did not rant and rave about how great she is. Also I asked to see proof of her licensing and certification to perform her services and she said "just know I have them". Another customer of hers emailed me regarding the same thing, saying how dissatisfied they were and requested proof for her to perform these services and Havy did not oblige her requests either. I also attached a picture from my first visit where I had ink all over my neck that havy left I sent her multiple texts and calls after my first and second session expressing how embarrassed I was. I literally cannot leave the house without makeup covering my eyebrows because people stare at how ridiculous they look. I know Eyebrow's aren't twins they are sisters but mine don't start at the same spot, don't end at the same spot and are different shapes...it's like saying flava flav and Charlize Theron look alike Please note Havy does threaten people that post less than five stars, bribes people and a lot of her ratings coincidentally come from new reviewers with no other reviews be ware! Just do your homework so you don't end up ashamed to go bare face like I am...there are PLENTY of microbladers out there don't feel like you have to hurry and pick one especially one that overcharges...

    This will be my third time getting my eyebrows done by Havy since December, 2016. There are so many places to go to these days to get your eyebrows micro-bladed but I continue to go back to Havy because she is just simply the best! And when it comes to your face, the best is what you want! IMO, Havy has mastered her trade but she continues to strive for more. This time in addition to my Micro-blading, I decided to get my eyeliner and lips done. Havy was so nice and patient with me during the applications and I'm very happy with the results! The outlining part was painful for me, but I can't believe that this is how I'm going to just wake up everyday now, so worth it! Literally life changing. Havy takes the time to really listen to you to find out how you want your results to look and takes the necessary time with her precision and perfection and with your comfort level during the process to get the best results. I always enjoy my time with her, I feel like I'm catching up with an old friend. She's so humble and kind. I'm not surprised how successful she has become over her many years of making so many women more confident and beautiful! She truly loves seeing each and every one of us be happy with our results. I always know I'm in the best hands.

    Okay now, this is a way overdue review. Got my brows microbladed by Havy almost a year ago. Made an appointment, got there 10 minutes before appointment time, but wasn't seen by Havy til like 20 minutes later. She popped her head out the door and said Hi, just a few more minutes. Finally got in after 40 minutes... I was a little annoyed at that time since she did not apologize at all for having me wait an hour... Havy is nice, offered some water, chit chatted, so on and so forth. She then drew over my brows, asked me if I like how they looked before she actually tattoed on them, blah blah blah. Of course, they looked divine and all... she then did her thing... I have a high tolerance for pain so the procedure didn't bother me too much. After everything was said and done, she showed me the final product and I immediatelt noticed that my right brow was more archy than the left. I mentioned it to her but she said it was normal because it's fresh and the ink appears darker blahblahblah. Okay......... so weeks passed and everyone and their mommas noticed how unequal my brows were. I went for the touch up and asked her to "fix" my right brow to make it even with the left. And she said she will. I really didn't notice any change or "fix" and I got so frustrated. I told her it looks the same (more archy) and she answered the same exact thing as last time, that it was normal and it should look better once it's completely healed. Well, it's been a year now and it still looks the same. I am planning on getting my brows done again but I don't think I'll be going to Havy this time around.

    I watched my brows disappear month by month for the past few years. I was so self-conscious and tried to fill them in but they just looked worse and worse. My daughter sent me a link on Microblading. I did some research, read lots of reviews, and decided to go with Havi. It was very easy to communicate through email and text with her and she always replied and answered any questions I had. She is very professional and really took her time to make sure the shape was perfect before she started. My procedure was done yesterday and am very satisfied with how they turned out! My real brows never looked this good!! Thanks Havi

    Microblading by Havy

    Havy does wonderful work! She is absolutely wonderful and accommodating. She talks you through each of the steps she is going to make/do. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is very easy to talk to. She makes you feel very comfortable. Havy also ensures that every client is happy. When a touch up is needed she will make sure to handle touch ups quickly and perfectly. I absolutely love the shape and look of my new eyebrows! Havy does explain clearly that it is semi permanent so you will need to return regularly to have touch ups. She also tells you about sun exposure or tanning will fade your eyebrows quicker than anticipated. I definitely recommend Havy, Chicago Microblading to everyone!

    My eyebrows are always perfect now... Thank you Havy.  Xoxo.

    See all

That's some serious commitment. That was more than enough to convince me to try her out. I started using Liz as soon as I moved and have been using her ever since. It has been about 3 years. Full transparency, I have tried other lash services in Chicago over the years in hopes to eliminate making the drive to the suburbs every few weeks. Let me tell you, it has never been worth it. The quality of Liz's services, lashes and technique by far surpass any of the other companies or products I have tried...and there have been many. I finally stopped trying other places because why mess with a good thing ;) For those of you who are reading reviews for cost purposes, I will let you know that she comes in very competitively. In my opinion, where she beats everyone coming in the same range, is the length of time the lashes actually stay on. Most places advertise three weeks, but I have only successfully experienced that with Liz. Aside from my personal love for my lashes, I am constantly getting compliments on the uniqueness of my lashes and the quality. I highly recommend her.

It's minimalist in design and function, which is fine. Her room where the magic happens is equally clean and sanitized and she is highly organized. Everything is arranged with professional attention. She takes you through each step of the procedure and calms your nerves. I have been contemplating micro blading for the past couple of years and always chickened-out. After reading her website, reviews and photos on Yelp, and then calling her and having a very pleasant phone conversation, I was convince she was the right choice. I'm so glad I went with my intuition. She takes her time, does not rush through the process, lets you know what's going on, and is very supportive. The whole process is about 3 hours, which includes signing paperwork, discussing the procedure, the markings on your face, my approval of the shape, then the micro blading. She has a gentle touch and a steady hand. When it was finally over and I looked in the mirror and I very pleased!
