So when we went in a second time, we did nano brows + added faux freckles again and they both stayed! The first time, I assume it was due to my intense skincare regimen (I'm an esthetician) and I didn't give up retinol until very close to my date. This time, I committed to no retinol for as long as possible and it definitely made a difference with the brows and freckles. I definitely want to go back for more faux freckles and I will continue to touch up and only get my brows done by Fatana at Karimi! Her technique, mastery, and artistic ability all supersedes anyone else in the area. She's an artist and brought my vision to life. I've never been so happy with my brows and it'sr so liberating to not have to worry about putting anything on them! I went for a super fluffy, natural, untouched model eyebrow. She even added strokes outside the shape, which is what I wanted. I actually want more outside the shape to make it look less "freshly waxed". Here are some photos!

This is one of the few spots where no matter who I get, I'm always pleased. Some tips: - Location: There is street parallel parking right outside the place, but you have to pay. Right around the corner there's a school with free street parking throughout the day except for busy traffic times. - Getting there: Once you enter, you need to go up the stairs and turn left. - Payments: This place takes card, Zelle, or cash! - Walk-Ins: Again, walk-ins are recommended, which makes it so convenient. Just take a seat once you're in, and they'll bring you in. I love this place!! Please visit!

My sessions with Ashley are so relaxing that I often fall asleep. Before each session, she washes her hands and makes sure that I'm completely comfortable before we begin. She has a very soft touch and works efficiently without compromising the quality of her work. Her manner is calm, confident and peaceful, while remaining consistently professional, kind and thorough. She is an expert in her craft as well as a studio manager and can answer any question you may have about membership and the studio's services. Most importantly, she matches your vibe. If you're feeling like a catnap while she's working, she tunes in and works quietly. Likewise, you can have a nice chat and the hour flies by! The studio itself offers cozy blankets, fab soundtracks, and a spotless environment. Highly recommend both Ashley and the location!

She's truly an expert and has such a good eye for the artistic side of aesthetics, but she also really understands the anatomy and science behind what she's doing. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely cares. She takes her time, pays attention to the little details, and never makes me feel rushed or like she's trying to push something I don't need. She's treated me, my boyfriend, his brother, and my mom at this point, and we all want completely different things. She somehow tailors everything to the individual and gives you exactly what you're looking for while still keeping the results natural.

Full version: I had long straight hair past my butt with no volume (figured since I can't get volume I could at least have impressive length) I wanted to get a long shag haircut to see how shorter layers in my hair would react without completely losing my length. Based on positive reviews here I booked Urban Halo. A shag is a complicated cut so I paid more to have an owner do it. Was assigned Andre. I called and asked what kind of prior consultation I would get and was assured he would consult with me to make sure I got what I wanted (I had a lot of questions about what kind of shag to do, whether I should consider a modern perm in lieu of a shag to add wave, etc.) Half an hour before my appointment I see a voice mail asking me to come 15 minutes early. Which irked me a little at the time because they provided so little notice but I didn't clock this as a red flag until after because my appointment was so rushed and this might have been an indicator. I get there. They wash my hair right away and that's fine. I sit in the chair. Andre asks me what I want and I say I want a long shag to create more volume. I ask about doing a perm because I have heard that perms today can provide more natural looking wave then the old 80s perm. He tells me that's called a body wave and "you could do that." And then...nothing. OooooK. I show him my example pictures of these really piecey shags with lots of layers all the way around the head. He goes OK so lots of layering around the face and more volume and he says we need to cut some of my length to get volume and how much am I willing to cut off? I tell him I would like to keep as much length as possible while still getting the cut but if he needs to take some off to get the look then fine. He ends up taking off like 10 inches of hair, bluntly across the bottom. My hair is still long because it was so insanely long before but this was a noticeable amount to take off. He then proceeds to do that thing where they angle the scissors diagonally and cut downwards away from your face to create these super subtle long layers which is a haircut I have gotten 1000 times at Great Clips and is not what I asked for. That is literally it for layering. He does stuff to even out the rest of the cut so it is literally a blunt cut for the entire back of my head and the whole thing was maybe 5 or 10 minutes. He spent more time blow drying than cutting. At the end the whole thing is just a slightly shorter version of what I already had with a few short layers in the front. I felt like I had cocker spaniel ears. I was obviously not thrilled and started messing with it in the mirror. He says how beautiful it looks now and I say well it definitely looks healthier, which was the only nice thing I could say, and then he tells me to think about coming back for the body wave and walks away. This was not an objectively bad haircut, thus the second star, but this was the most simple, boring, basic haircut and if I had wanted what was essentially just a trim to take length off I would have done it myself. Looking thru pics now I realize that all the haircuts here look the same and that is what my hair looked like, too. I felt gaslit. I immediately booked a free zoom consult with another stylist known for giving consultations and second opinions and she agreed this was absolutely not a shag. She told me a lot of stylists in DC don't even know what a shag is or if they do they won't do them because it is a specialized haircut. I am shocked because I am not a hair stylist but I 100% know what a shag haircut is. In retrospect I am guessing Andre didn't know how to do a shag and instead of really talking about that with me he just instead moved forward with the same basic cut he gives everyone. I hated hated hated it. So anyway I booked the other stylist elsewhere and paid twice as much for her to give me a true shag. It was a razor cut. I love it. It was more expensive than Urban Halo but I got exactly what I wanted. I actually have volume! So it WAS achievable - Urban Halo just couldn't bother to try. No body wave necessary (and honestly I would be afraid to go back and get that service from someone who doesn't listen to me). I now feel totally confident going shorter with this same cut next time (though it pissed me off that Andre took so much length off that we could have used as raw material for my correction cut). I wish I had taken a before photo to be able to post a comparison but didn't think to at the time. In conclusion, my cut from Urban Halo is adequate at best - not embarrassingly bad but a basic, cookie cutter cut with no advanced techniques that did not justify the price point. He didn't listen, just did what he wanted and I found this frankly both lazy and arrogant.
