So, let me preface with letting you know a little about me; I am an Esthetician and have worked in the industry for the last 10 years. I work at a skincare studio where we specialize in brow design...my boss is well known as the "Brow Guru" and our loyal clientele have very high standards. I should also say that I, myself, am quite the perfectionist...so as you can imagine, it was a BIG DEAL for me to be laying in a stranger's chair who was about to permanently alter my face!
What can I say....Jeannie is truly an artist! My first visit was simply to have permanent makeup on my lips. My desire was to have my lips appear a little fuller, and to give them a brighter, natural, flushed color.
The moment I met Jeannie, she really put me at ease. She is very warm and welcoming. Right away, I pummeled her with questions...what is going to feel like? what will it look like? what if we do the wrong color? how do you know what color to use? what if there is a mistake?!?! (I told you...I am a PERFECTIONIST!) Lucky for me...so is Jeannie! She spent almost an hour consulting me, answering all my questions, calming my fears. Together we perfected the "template" on my lips and then it was time for the moment of truth....
After numbing my lips to make sure I was as comfortable as possible (and taking away the hand mirror...I kept asking if I could look again and, like a good Esthetician, she politely, but firmly coached me "No, now it is time for you to let me do my job". I love her!)...she began the process. It took no longer than 20 minutes and the whole process was easy and virtually painless.
She gave me written post care instructions as well as a description on what to expect which was incredibly helpful! She also insisted that I could contact her at any time for any reason...and she really means it!
So, one month later, I return for my touch up. We had talked at my first appointment about my brows...yes, even I have had the pubescent experience of over-plucking my precious brows and have a few sparse areas that I usually fill in with makeup. I was incredibly anxious about the idea of having permanent makeup on my brows...I have seen those photos! You know, the ones that are scary fake looking! But, Jeannie has mastered a technique which gives the brows a feathery appearance...very natural.
I took a deep breath and told her I was ready to do my brows...again, we designed them together and then I let her get to work!
I have to say...I cannot believe I waited this long to get these services done. I LOVE my LIPS! They are full, beautiful and the best part is that there is no need for lip color!
And, I LOVE MY BROWS!!! I cannot believe how luxurious, full, and perfect the shape is! The color is a perfect match, they look completely natural...and...my boss (you know, the "Brow Guru") said, "I like the tint you did on your brows." I nervously confessed, "This isn't a tint, this is permanent makeup." "Wow!" she said. "They look amazing and really natural. I have been wanting to get the ends of brows done. What is her name?" That, I must say, is the biggest compliment that Jeannie could ever receive!!!
So, to make a long story short....Jeannie is simply the best...go see her! Do not worry about the process or the end result...I have done all the worrying for everyone. I trust Jeannie so much that I have sent some of my most discriminating and discerning clients to see her and she has given them perfection too!
Thank you, Jeannie, for giving me a beautiful result and for patiently nurturing me through the process! read more
