    What i wanted
    Jasmine R.

    Well i think the guys name was Jon not too sure. But whoever it was, was indeed nice and patient with me. However, my tattoo didn't come out as expected...I have to get it removed or fixed.

    Shenise is super talented! I have several tattoos from other artists and she is the best I've ever had :) I am so impressed with her light hand. She made the entire process simple, fun and most important : her work is incredible! This particular tattoo was sentimental in honor of my late mom and incredible daughter. It's perfection. I will not see anyone else. It's all Shenises canvas from here on out!

    I have had four different tattoo's done by their artist Loki, a bloodlined Phoenix on my back, a tribal piece that goes around my shoulders, a lion with wings on my arm, and am currently having a piece done on my leg of two angels. Needless to say I have been very happy with his work, have refered my friends to him who were equally satisfied, and have enjoyed having him work on me. If you are looking for a custom tattoo I would definately recomend him!

    So first things first, I made an appointment to come get a tattoo back in April for October I…read morethink. I had to reschedule twice because I was starting a new job and didn't have the money. 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!!

    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!

    Fantastic experience with Mei Cass, owner of Pretty Chic, today. I saw her at her Boston location…read moreinside Sola Salon for permanent makeup- lip blush. Her space was very clean and professional. She also has salon space in Lexington. Mei was friendly and very knowledgeable- provided choices for my color but also used her expertise to make suggestions. She made me feel comfortable and I trusted her suggestions. Great experience- love my lip color! Received an aftercare kit and instructions. Lip blush changes as it heals- this won't be my final appearance. I'll return in 4-6 weeks for a touch up. Highly recommend for all types of permanent makeup.

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!!!!

    One of the worst experiences of my life, I thought I was going to lose my eyesight in my right eye…read more She put some kind of drops in my eyes and they immediately started burning. She told me in a minute I wouldn't feel anything because they were new it was numbing drops. She had done permanent eyeliner on me before without using drops but for some reason she had numbing drops. I never felt the pain while she was puncturing my eye until the drops wore off. I thought I was going to die! I was brought to the emergency room by my daughter and transferred to Mass. eye and ear because the damage was too much for the hospital that I was first brought to. 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. I wish I could upload the picture of the cut lines and punctures she did to my eye Julia did not care about my health and well-beingShe's in it for the money

    I meant to write this review over a month ago, but anyways... I must say this salon is amazinggggg…read more I have had my nails done, hair done, and makeup done here and every service was nothing short of excellence. Maggie is God sent, she came in early on a Sunday morning to make sure I was gorgeous for my sister 11AM wedding (did I mention on a SUNDAY) and did wayyyy beyond my expectations. So in all I would recommend this salon and have to everyone I know, you will not be dissapointed!!! I will see you all today as I need my nails done for Christmas!!!

I have nothing bad to say about the ladies who work here, I know they're hustling and trying their best. But if you're not trained properly even if you work your ass off you could still not achieve the outcome you're going for. Please don't hold anything against the employees who work here. Cons: Highly defensive and gaslighting owner. Cares only about the reputation of her business, but doesn't have the genuine care it takes to retain loyal customers. Very fake "friendly," like aggressively friendly to the point where you're not allowed to have your own feelings or opinions. Will cut you off and claim you're the one interrupting, will assume any pushback is an attack, will think the worst of you when you're trying your best to be courteous to everyone else. Also: your brows will be bleached off such that you don't have any brows anymore lmao. Bro I'm so embarrassed, fortunately I wear glasses so the top frame of my glasses can hide my (lack of) brows And yes, my hair was messed up this time again, too. I look like a clown up-close right now, but it can wait a little while for me to find another salon to fix the mess. If you want the full story see my photos. And please, read the other one- or two- star reviews... they show a pattern. I should've done more research before getting my hopes up so much. I wanted so bad to find "my stylist" that I would be loyal to forever. It's just like dating I guess, gotta kiss a lot of frogs...
