Okay, just so you are all aware at the end of this review there will be a rude or blameshifting comment from Flutter Lashes; as that's how Leisa seems to carry on business. (Attacking customers who leave less than flattering reviews, check out her responses on Google & Groupon, I am not joking)
First things first, I purchased Microblading from Flutter on Groupon. Despite it being over an hour from my home, I bought the item & made the appointments. I walked into flutter with full, but admittedly slightly mishapen brows. Mostly looking for them to be evened out & filled in.
So I get to my first appointment & after waiting a few minutes for Leisa to finish up with her last client, I was called and told to take a seat. Leisa was very friendly and seemed very nice. We made small talk through the first few minutes of the process where she basically drew 2 lines on my face & wiped off any eyebrow pencil residue I had left on my brows.
That is where things took a turn for the worse, obviously i was aware that this process would be somewhat painful BUT she literally dug so far into my skin on the right side that i was bleeding everywhere & I now already have a deep scar. And throughout the whole 2 hour process she must have asked me or her coworkers a dozen times "does that one look thicker than that one?" "does this eyebrow look darker than that one?" "should i go further in on this side?" CONSTANTLY second guessing herself & making me very uneasy. She is clearly not experienced in this particular skill. And as if my skin was not sore and raw enough, we both notice that she went much too high on one eyebrow & it looks oddly shaped and wobbly, so SHE TAKES WHITE PIGMENT AND DIGS IT INTO MY ALREADY BATTERED SKIN TO COVER IT UP. (Ended up with 2 totally different shaped brows as you can see in the Pics)
Anyway, so the appointment ends & one of my eyebrows looked pretty much identical to what it had before but my right one that I told you about earlier..? Swollen, mishapen, and about 3 different colors. It was pretty clear that I was disappointed, but I figured it would somehow improve when finished healing.
NO. Days later I am losing CHUNKS of scabbed pigment & my actual brow hair, no pigment left on the skin. I message Leisa, she says its normal that's why you have a second appointment. WRONG. Not normal, it's normal to scab & once it sheds to reveal pigment with your natural brow atleast mostly in tact.
Again, I give her the benefit of the doubt, and try to convince myself that this can be fixed. So 4 weeks later, although still feeling uneasy about Leisa doing my brows, I make arrangements to get to my second appointment an hour away. HOURS before I am due to go in, I get a text saying basically "I have strep throat & a fever of 103, I am going home now." ..okay so you just been working all up in people's faces all day today knowing you were sick? I did not say that though, in a very polite manner I told her that I hope she feels better & that unfortunately I will not be able to get more time off work for another appointment or arrange a ride, so i would kindly like to ask for a refund.
OH MAN SHE WENT OFF ON ME. She was clearly upset & being very combative, but I continued to be pleasant and kind & insist that I would rather work this out in a civil manner. She was having none of it. She insisted that was not possible because she had already done my brows (but also told me my opinion was not valid because she hadn't done my brows yet. (Aka my touch up appointment.)
In the end, she basically said I don't have your damn money, call groupon. Which I did, and perhaps because my experience was exactly like other womens reviews who have gone here for Mblading- they gave me my money back & apologized for Leisa's behavior and harassing messages.
Last thing I do, because her offer is still active on groupon, is go put a shorter/ not too harsh warning on her reviews about her clear lack of experience and confidence in this department. All while acknowledging I thought she was a sweet and friendly lady.
YALL.. I WOKE UP WITH A TEXT FROM THIS WOMAN HARASSING ME YET AGAIN.
Girls, stay away.
Last little FYI: I recently went to have my microblading fixed/done to my liking by someone who specializes in Microblading. & while explaining to her what happened at Flutter, she informed me that the fact that Leisa finished another clients lashes in the chair, wiped it off and then sat me in it to do microblading is actually illegal and will probably get her shut down for health code violations. They are not allowed to do this kind of procedure in the same spot they do others because it is literally asking for cross contamination and infections.
Please do not go here for microblading, please do not buy the Groupon, please believe me it is worth the extra money a microblading specialist will charge you, and will save you in the long run. Money, time, and lots of painful healing. read more
