Two weeks ago, I visited Tina Oxley for my annual brow microblading and shading. When I first came to her, my eyebrows were practically nonexistent, resembling Groucho Marx or Charlie Chaplin--really bad! I've never had good brows, even as a child. Tina truly transformed my face by giving my brows more depth. In addition to my brows, Tina also did lip shading for me. She was able to neutralize the color of my top lip to match my bottom lip. I've also had her do my makeup for a night out, and it was amazing. Tina is professional and very personable. I always look forward to seeing her annually for my brow touch-ups. read more

Please don't make the mistake and use Tina Oxley for makeup on a special occasion. My daughter went to the Cove for wedding day hair and Makeup. Hair stylist did what was asked but took twice as long (3 hours for a simple half twist up do in the back to hold vail) because her long nails made it impossible for her to open Bobby pins and get them in. Since they were taking so long, instead of Tina working on makeup at the same time she waiting till the end and used the excuse of poor job because she was rushed. My daughter sent her an inspiration picture weeks in advance. And she agreed to it. My daughter told her simple natural look. She wanted to look like herself, not an imposter. My daughter is Irish pale. Tina asked if she was tanning. My daughter told her no. This is who she is. The inspirational picture was of a pale person as well. The foundation was so dark my daughter looked Hispanic not pale Irish. She used dark Smokey eye shadow instead of light tone. The she put these huge eye lashes on saying they would look natural. They did not and was told to take them off. Tina was not happy and ended up leaving clumps of glue in her eyes. She only had 3 shades of lipstick and none were close to the color she asked for. When my daughter got to the wedding venue and could see herself better, she broke down sobbing. Her sisters had to strip all the makeup off and redo her. One of my girls said that Tina made her look like a Bratz doll. It was terrible. I've never seen so bad. When called the week after the wedding, Tina admitted she didn't like the way it turned out and kept making excuses and saying that's what other brides like. She didn't want to look like other brides, she wanted to look like herself. Tina agreed to give refund and even told manager she already refunded it. A week later no refund came through. Tina said she is not giving refund cause it's not her fault my daughter didn't like it. She doesn't listen to what her clients want and just does whatever she wants to do. Please don't make this same mistake using Tina. read more

Ok, let me start out by saying how adorable this salon is!! The decor alone will lure you in- pale pink walls with pops of white and silver, while dazzling chandeliers hang from the ceilings in every room. It's a very cozy and clean atmosphere. Which is only complemented by the warm greeting you receive from the staff as you walk thru the door. I have been a client of Tina's (the owner) for many years, since she was based in Miami. She is AMAZING! Everything she does is perfection. I would literally trust her with any service or treatment for my face or body. Not only is she a doll and super funny, she is extremely detailed and loves what she does. She takes great care and precision. The results are all the proof you need! Whether it's microblading, lashes, makeup, PMU, spray tan, waxing or even training classes, HB is the best in the biz! Oh, and be sure to follow her on Instagram @tina_oxley ;) read more

On April 7th, I and three girls I (my cousin, sister, and my friend) decided to book with Tina. At first, when booking, she had the date available for sat April 29th, then on Wednesday the 12th, I received a text saying she will "be out of town and wouldn't be able to do that day "I then told her it was fine and since I'm leaving out of town for a whole month next month so it had to be this weekend. She said that was fine. When we showed up she said she had a sketch of our tattoos but was trying to find them for over 5 min, which showed me they were just printed online which is fine because that's how simple the tattoos were. Before we proceeded to get the tattoo I asked how much it would be for the two I was wanting, which were the "love yourz and "vis ta vie" for 5 small words she said $175. I did think that was a little pricy but since it was for both I was okay with paying that, but at the time of payment, she said she "never heard" I said both. I was with my little cousin and we both clearly heard her say that amount. Her response was "I assumed you meant just one". After that, she apologized and said, "Two tattoos can not be less than the original tattoo prices. I think we all misunderstood each other. But I will take the blame. again, I apologize." How are you going to assume what we are talking to you about and not get clarification after I say for both? I also looked at her policy and it says "The price is determined by a number of factors but typically runs between $150 and up. Each tattoo has a minimum price of $100 to cover design and stencil making" Let me just tell you, at the time of the appointment she printed the design from her iPad after she searched for what we wanted online, so it was never designed by her. She used the same tattoo needle for both of our tattoos we each got. Again, when my cousin asked her what her price would be for the "love yourz" and a simple J with a small heart next to it she said it would be $25 more which would make it $125 that day since we had already left a $50 deposit totaling to be $175. As I said, we asked for the total for both, then at the time of payment, she said she only meant the second tattoo individually. She used the same needle for both tattoos and she was charging $125 for just a letter and a simple heart?! When she clearly said it will only be $25 more? How does 25 go to 125 AGAIN FOR A LETTER AND A HEART?!! For all the small 7 tattoos, it was $1000?!! A THOUSAND DOLLARS IS HALF OF A SLEEVE. The tattoos were so small they wouldn't even take up our whole hand. It's insane how much she charged us and switched up the numbers all of a sudden. She did apologize and said "I TAKE THE BLAME" If you're admitting to being in the wrong and not doing anything about it, your words mean nothing to me. We went to Tina because she's a female and since it was my friend's and cousin's first tattoo, I thought they would be more comfortable. They had the worst experience since they paid double what they had been told since people are just now "assuming". I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. NOT TO MENTION SOME OF THE TATTOOS LOOK SHAKY AND UNEVEN OF WHERE THEY WERE PLACED. read more

Reached out to find out about their experience with lip tinting specifically, and this is the sarcastic and unprofessional response that I got. I can't speak to the quality of the actual service, because clearly, they don't want me as their client. Not very smart from the business perspective. read more

High Brow - Conversation with the salon. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been visiting Tina since December of last year and I have to say she is amazing! My brows have never had a better shape. She even made my problematic skin GLOW and helped fix my acne problems. To top it all off she super friendly, and works with you on achieving your goals. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my face or wax me! read more

Amazing work! Clean and super cute salon! Very professional, knowledgeable, and made certain to throughly explain the entire process.

Brow lamination is something that has been on my radar for months now and I figured I would finally get them done as a small birthday gift to myself. First critique is that there their scheduling app is not user friendly. I was originally going to book with Tina Oakley (the owner) for my brow lam but wanted to add the Henna tint for an extra $25 and was confused because there wasn't an option for me to do so even though it says I could via the lamination description.I've dealt with salons/beauty techs that are very particular about you booking the right service for scheduling reasons so I called the salon to see I could just schedule my appointment over the phone (ya know...like how we used to do in the good o'days??!) but no one answered. Not even a minute after hanging up I get a text message acknowledging my phone call and asking if I had any questions. I've never had that happen before so to say I was impressed with an understatement. I mentioned that I was looking to get a lam/tint for the 20th and they asked if I had a certain tech I wanted to work with. I decided not to mention Tina and just asked that they give me the best they got since it was for my birthday and their response was that Abby was the only one working that day and to book via the link in her Instagram bio. I did think that was a bit weird because it pretty much let book Tina for a brow lam that day but again I didn't go through with it because I wanted to confirm that I would be able to get a tint as well. More on that later... I decided to go ahead with the booking and originally chose a noon appointment time frame, filled out my address and CC information (their scheduling app requires that info for the deposit) and clicked confirm only to be told that "the appointment time I picked was too early"?????? Not sure why a scheduling website would give me hours to choose from that are either already booked or before business hours but this website did just that. I guess this is how it let me book Tina even Abby was the only one working that day. It was going to wait until I put in all my information and clicked submit...only to tell me that time/tech wasn't available. Arrived at my scheduled time and was greeted by a clipboard on the front desk. I wasn't sure it was for me until I saw the Brow Lamination disclaimer and quickly filled it out. Abby popped out and greeted me and said something I couldn't hear BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS SO LOUD OMG! I get quite a few beauty services so I'm used to techs playing music but they usually have it on a semi-low volume that's easy to tune out if you concentrate hard enough. Abby had that shit turned up like we were at a club in Miami and as someone who usually counts any service where I have to keep my eyes closed for longer than five minutes as nap time I couldn't have been more irritated. I thought maybe I was being a grumpy pants and that it was just the salon culture they have until another tech arrived with their client and proceeded to turn it down so...clearly it's not. For the actual brow lam everything seemed to be going fine (it's been so long since I've been around perm/relaxer like chemicals that I've forgotten how bad they smell) until we talked shape. I mentioned that I usually get my brows threaded and like them on the thicker side with a high arch and always give the feedback to "clean them up" versus "do whatever" so that she wouldn't take too much off. I guess she took that as I didn't really want them waxed because she SHAVED my eyebrows with what I can assume is one of the face razor blades (not for sure since ya know...my eyes were closed). I blame myself because I should have spoken up and asked why the hell was she was shaving my eyebrows when she should be waxing them but we'll just chalk that up to Mistake #3. I even double checked the brow lamination description to verify that it said WAX not shave and it does but it also said shape so I guess if they have to do a light shape they say screw the wax and just bust out the handy dandy razor blade. Using a razor blade on your brows is something you should do when you're in a heavy pinch financially or find yourself in jail adapting to prison life, not something you should receive during a luxury brow service. Fun fact about shaving...anything: you don't actually remove the hair-you just cut it down. So with that being said when Abby handed me the mirror to look at the result the only thing I could focus on was the hair stubble left over from her shaving them. I'm pretty sure if my brows were actually waxed I would have walked away feeling a touch bit better but combination of that plus the music and that God awful scheduling website has me somewhat sold on Brow Lamination. Not sold at all on High Brow. read more

Jessica and Tina were very welcoming and accommodating. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Jessica did my brows and I love them! Microblading at high brow is definitely worth the expense. Would highly recommend this salon! read more
