1st of all - I rarely do reviews. I had to for Carolina Microblading/Henrietta because my…read moreexperience was exceptional. Like most of us, we haven't had our faces altered with a sterile scalpel and ink, so the process can be disconcerting to say the least. This is not a thing to have done using a Groupon. Don't skimp. I only went to Henrietta because my friend recommended her and I had NEVER seen eyebrow microblading turn out so well. No Joke. Customer Service: A++ Henrietta is committed to communicating with her clients AND prospective clients promptly, with grace and attentiveness. This is her side-job and passion. Her life goal is to "make women feel and look their best". This shines through in her whole practice. Office Atmosphere: A++ When you walk in, its small and intimate. There is cool-vibe music playing and aromatherapy oils diffusing. Microblading Studio Cleanliness: A+++ I cant even express how clean and sterile Henrietta's studio is. You look around and its immaculate. Its set up like a surgical room (with an aesthetic and warm/comforting touch). Personality: I cant even rate this - off the charts. The aforementioned passion shines through, starting with Henrietta's personality. She is a compassionate woman, and wants to make sure that her clients feel taken care of. She's down-to-earth and relatable. The Microblading process: A+++ Henrietta explained everything that she was going to do. She would map out my face (with her protractor), making sure that everything was completely symmetrical. She measured and measured and plotted the lines. And made sure what she was doing was within her app guidelines (as an extra measure). Went back and plotted again with such precision. Measured again. Made sure that it mapped correctly again. Then showed me what my new brow outline would look like - always letting me hold the mirror so I could see. I was amazed - could my brows really have this shape?? This shape looks amazing, I'm thinking. Once its all mapped out, she numbs the area with a topical ointment and then she gets to work. The initial mapping took about 45 mins (Henrietta is very meticulous). The microblading took a while - about 2 hours. She does one and then keeps refining. Back and forth. "Oh, I just need to do two more strokes right here, and then I'll be happy". "Oh, just one more here, and I'll be happy". She is VERY personally invested in her clients. She knows her clients' satisfaction is her self-satisfaction. After leaving her studio: I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that for the past 10 years I had been filling in my "okay" brows in with idk how many brow pencils, but most recently the Benefit "Precisely, My Brow Pencil Ultra-Fine Shape & Define" (which is my fave, but looks SOO FAKE!!). I cant tell you how much $$ I've spent on brow pencils, shadows, etc to try to make my brows frame my face. I went home and was scared to look at them. But now, each time I do, its scary how good it looks. And to think that they only look awesome due to a beautiful woman, with a genuine purpose and a steady hand with a blade and ink - making tiny hair strokes above my eyes.

Recently, after reviewing my transaction and comparing pricing, I reached out respectfully to ask for clarification regarding the charge and to address concerns about the results of the work she performed. I outlined my questions clearly and requested that communication remain in writing so there would be no misunderstandings. As shown in the screenshots, rather than addressing the pricing discrepancy or concerns in writing, I was told to "move forward with my next steps" because I was not willing to switch to a phone call. I made multiple attempts to resolve this directly and professionally before sharing this review. My request was simply for written clarification regarding a financial and service concern. I'm sharing this experience for transparency so others can make informed decisions. Based on how this situation was handled, I would not personally recommend her to anyone. What makes a good business absolutely depends on how they handle any arising issues and how they communicate. See for yourself how she handled this and be the judge. 0/10 very disappointed to be honest, I had hoped she'd remain a good person and help me out. :/ I will add that I am in the process of now filing with the NC Board of CAE & NC Health Dept. due to the negligence.

I've gone back to them for questions over time and been told some wildly different things between their piercers. I've since moved to a different studio and had to have my downsized bar taken out becasue it seems inkvictus downsized mine when it wasn't ready. I've been told my options are to wait it out and live with a messed up job, or let it close up and have it redone. Its upsetting to have a hack job done on your body. It's also come to my attention some problematic practices going in within the studio, I won't be supporting them anymore.

I've been wanting to get cosmetic makeup for a few years and decided now or never. After shopping…read morearound and looking at places in the area, I was recommended Inkvictus, an inclusive, body-positive, and welcoming cosmetic enhancement studio. I loved everything about this studio before making the appointment. From their amazing Instagram posts, ease of their website, and everything in between, I was hooked. I decided to book an appointment with Bre who has been in the field for a little over two years. I booked powder brows and lash line enhancement (eyeliner). I have a tattoo on my arm so I was super excited to scratch that itch one knows to have after getting a tattoo. When I entered the studio, immediately I was greeted by everyone there. I felt so incredibly welcomed and comfortable. The studio is fun, vibrant, and fun. I felt incredibly relaxed. Bre was AMAZING. We talked about our travels, mostly, which is a favorite topic of mine. She was informative about everything, guided me along the way, gave me a bathroom break, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the 3.5 hours I was there. Numbing cream definitely helped because there were some areas that I was feeling some scratching but it didn't bother me any (honestly, it's an adrenaline rush if anything). The eyeliner was a weird feeling at first but after a few minutes, I was comfortable and my eyes relaxed. Honestly, I expected worse. This was easy! I've been waking up every morning with a huge boost of confidence without even doing my makeup! I go in for an included touch-up next month and I even booked a lash lift and tint for March! I'm telling you right now...if you've been thinking about getting some permanent cosmetic makeup, do it!! Bre was FANTASTIC!!!

I've debated about leaving this review because it's always tough exposing the truth but I've…read moredecided that Joyee needs to see this so that she can learn how to run a business and perform consistency. First off, my appointment was scheduled for 12:30pm. While in the parking lot, I called her to let her know that I was having trouble finding the suite. Nevertheless, she forwards my call to voicemail on both attempts which I found to be very weird, but I ended up walking in at 12:28pm because I found it on my own. She comes out of her room and tells me to have a seat because she's still with a client. At 12:42pm, she and her client who is also Asian like herself, walk out laughing and chatting. I even comment on how her client's lashes were pretty but they were definitely not my style! Joyee takes me back and I feel as though she rushed through it. They looked OK and when she was finished, I decided to look in the mirror for a couple of minutes to see how I actually felt about them but guess what? She didn't even give me a chance! Once she saw me looking in the mirror, she immediately distracts me by saying "oh you left your phone on the bed, clumsy" which was very unprofessional. I didn't leave my phone, I knew exactly where it was. I was double checking to see if I even liked the lashes and I have a feeling that she knew it wasn't a good job which is why she tried to distract me with the phone comment. At that point, she hurries and gives me my phone and walks me to my car because I told her my puppy was out there and we discussed her taking a glance at him. By the time I drive off, I checked the time and it was precisely 2:01pm. (Just 1 minute over the scheduled time) So what was the rush for? I waited almost 15 minutes for her during my scheduled appointment time yet she rushes me?? The audacity. At any rate, I have photos included of what I wanted versus what I got so that you all can see the truth for yourselves! When I put on mascara it looks far better than what she did. The REAL reviews for this company are on other platforms like Groupon; you just have to research to find them. She blocks any 1 star reviews on Google so that she keeps getting new clients. Maybe you have to be Asian for her to do a good job here. But then again, the client who was before me didn't leave looking too great so eh who knows. If you want to be experimented on, this is the place to come to because Joyee is definitely still learning her way through this. She doesn't even list the fill in prices like ALL lash techs have on their website , instead she has "price will vary". Probably varying on the needs of her own bank account and how much she feels inclined to charge based on the day of the week. Strip lashes from the beauty supply store could easily supersede what she does here. Nothing but a waste of money!!!

I had a consultation with Sonya and we worked out a strategy to achieve what I wanted for my brows. I got them done twice in VA, both several years ago and they had started to fade a bluish/greenish brown from the dark brown they had been. This is actually the second local salon I visited for this service, the first told me I'd need to have them lasered off before starting over. Sonya evaluated and said she could fix them no problem. The first session we worked on the color correction and kept the shape mostly the same. The second session (a month later) we finalized the color and went a little bigger on the shape. The final session (a month later) we finished the shape and I ended up with exactly what I wanted. The process was easy, I felt informed every step of the way and Sonya is clearly an expect in her craft. As mentioned above, I have also been going to this salon for my eyelashes for a few months with Maria. She is also an expert at her craft and I always love my lashes. I have been very happy with my experience at Epo Beauty and I'm looking forward to seeing the new space.
