Amazing personality. Amazingly clean and comfortable environment. Absolutely amazing work. Fatana did my first set of brows (years ago) and recently did my touch up. I will return and I highly recommend her! read more

I absolutely LOVE my brows. I was super nervous bc of the price and nervous about the idea of someone tattooing my face but it's all worth it. I highly recommend Fatana. She is an ARTIST. My brows look soooo natural. It sounds so shallow but I feel like a different person and I couldn't imagine not having them! I should have used Fatana's services a long time ago! Just do it! You won't regret it! read more

Let me start by saying I'd been wanting microblading for a solid 3 years. Between the fear of getting a permanent service done to my face & my annoyance of the average cost ($600-800+ most places) I held off. Cut to a few months ago my cousin, who lacks in the brow dept just like me, went to Karimi and I was sold. Karimi did my brows 6 days ago so. The appt was lovely. She's super sweet and relaxed. Very informative and professional. The session takes about 2 hours, she mapped out my brows using various measuring techniques so I had the chance to approve and make any corrections I wanted. Now, if you're at all nervous about the pain, don't be. The numbing cream made it so that I could barely feel a thing & I have two tattoos so I know the pain threshold. This was nothing. I'm currently in the healing process so still nervous/excited to see my brows once the scabbing is all gone. They're getting a little peely, kind of like a snake shedding it's skin. So I still haven't seen the true finished product but leaving Karimi's, my brows looked amazing & snatched. Compliments galore! Even my very skeptical mother was pleased with what she saw. I have a touch up appt scheduled in 2 months and that will definitely seal the look. If I remember, I'll add a photo of the finished finished brows. read more

I've been following Fatana on Instagram for awhile and a couple of my friends got their eyebrows done by her. Let me tell you, all of my friends eyebrows look amazing! That's when I decided that it was time for me to make an appointment for not only myself, but my mothers as well. My mom has little to no eyebrows and she's always had bangs as a hairstyle to hide her brows. And now, she's grown out her bangs and gets so many compliments on her eyebrows! She recently just went in for a touch up and Fatana's Service is amazing as always. As for me, from the first time we met and began the procedure she knew exactly what I wanted and what looked best for my face. I gave her all my trust and she did not disappoint me at all. I get so many compliments from my friends, co-workers and even strangers. Now I can just wake up for work and look good since my eyebrows are always on point! I cannot wait for my touch up this weekend. She's also so funny and knows how to make you feel comfortable and at ease! read more

Karimi - Love my brows! Literally cut down a good 5-7 mins in my make up routine lol - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Ok so firsta all.....they don't mention that there is a lil brown ass teddy bear dog when you get inside. Just wandering around all wild. What if that dog is so damn cute that I go and decide I want my own damn dog?! What am I gonna tell my kids? Make your own dinner, I'ma give my dog a eucalyptus oil massage for his afternoon aromatherapy treatment?! These people dont care at ALL! NADA! They seriously need to be shut down TADAY! Ok so then you get into the salon and it's REaL quiet. This lil skinny girl who looks like she's really 16 takes your coat and brings you into a small "room". Not sure if I can say that for real. "Room" cause I know a New York City studio apartment when I see one right? Issa closet with a sink. She gets you to put your stuff somewhere and you lean way back on this little surfboard bed and hope you dont slide off. *clench ya cheeks. You know which ones* She explains everything before she does it and she draws ya eyebrows on ya face. (But kinda not how you do it cause you dont draw good and get something different everyday. Also you tired of looking surprised all the time but you know that's why you're there...) Yall look at it and agree on your method (microblading or ombre) and she says LEGGO. It's a lil buzzy when you get started so don't flinch. The 16 year old knows what she's doing and she's expecting your unseasoned ass to flinch. Dont give her the satisfaction. Be strong my friend! (But nah the numbing gel or spray makes everything honky dory so you ain't gotta worry). Next thing you know you're telling her your crazy life story and boom you're finished. You look up and brows are on. Whoa. That adjustment to you seeing yourself with brows is an adjustment. Your skin feels like it's been punched. Wait a few days and it will be Awesome! And then you think to yourself...this lil girl can do some MF brows mannnn! Let me tell my friends and neighbors cause I got brows. I did and I have brows now. Be like Jen. Get brows. read more

I've been holding off on writing a review on this because I don't want my personal experience to hinder Fatana's business. She's an absolute gem of a person, and as sweet as can be. I do want to be perfectly honest about my experience and I am a big believer that reviews on services really do help customers decide if they should move forward with such investment that is microblading. The good: Fatana! She's a sweetheart, I felt so comfortable working with her on the first appointment and touch up. She was very responsive from my initial questions to my follow up questions. Her prices are also very fair to the market. She's an amazing artist, I can tell she's going to be very successful in this industry! The not so good: I was not very happy with the outcome of my eyebrows, at no fault of the artist. I believe my skin type did not hold color retention. I got my eyebrows microbladed in October of 2019, my touch up in late Nov, or early December. My eyebrows look no different than before the microblading. My eyebrows were naturally very thin and ashy in color, not dark which is weird because I'm a naturally dark brown hair person. I know Fatana matches your eyebrow color to your natural root hair color and when my eyebrows where microbladed they looked incredible but the color completely scabbed off. During the touch-up, I know she mixed a darker color and we attempted a different healing method, but unfortunately, the color faded into an ashy color and I'm only able to see maybe a few strokes of the actual blading processing. Again, I believe this is all due to my oily skin type and the way my body retains color. I'm not sure if I will go through microblading process in the future but I do think that in order for this process to truly make a difference, a much darker color will have to be used. I have to constantly color in my eyebrows if I want them to look anywhere how I like them to look. Again, my review is a reflection of the microblading, not the artist. I wish Fatana a sucsessful career and I know she will flourish in this field. read more

I am beyond thrilled not only with the quality of work Fatana provided but also with her professionalism. She made me feel so comfortable that it felt more like hanging out with a friend, rather than having a thousand needles puncturing your face. Haha She explained everything in detail ahead of time and provided easy to follow post-care instructions. Can't wait for my touch-up!!! read more

The place is in a nail salon next to 7/11 just FYI. I had an amazing experience with Karimi!! She knows how to make sure you're aware about the procedure, what she's going to do, ask how you feel and for your opinion and work as a team to achieve your dream brows!! And LETMETELLYOU! This amazing human being can create some art on your face your mama would want! I've never had anything down to my face before so I was a little scared. But how she did my brows, I cannot believe how AMAAAAAAZING they look!! It looks SUPER OOBERLY NATURAL. The first thing she said to me when she was done done was, "I have a feeling this is how you fill in your brows" and biiiih it was and so much more! I'm so happy I did this! I recommend her if you are trying to get your brows to look like twin goddesses! read more

Karimi - Before - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I highly recommend Karimi. Fatana is very talented and very professional. I was so nervous that it may hurt but I didn't feel much. I I love my new brows. read more

Karimi - Thank you Karimi! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Every year for the past 4 or 5 years Fatana has done my brows and she is literally an artist. She looks at your face and measures your brows to fit. Let her do it. SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL. Why is that important? Because sometimes WE draw our eyebrows and think it looks good, until you see a pic years later and wonder why no one told you that you looked crazy. (Side bar- I'm biased because my aunt had her brows done when I was a kid and that lady walked around looking "surprised" for years LMAOOO. I know I'm terrible. Dont tell grandma) I've seen photos where I look like I should have really been in a support group talking bout, "My name is Jen and I overdraw my eyebrows" SMH Hand to gawd I walked around for years with these thick dark sharpie brows that made me and Oscar the Grouch look like cousins. CRAZY. But not anymore. EVERY DAMM TIME Fantana does my brows I trust that she knows how my skin will respond to the ink and what the final result will be. A few days the swelling has gone down, MY EYEBROWS ARE SHEER FREAKING PERFECTION. They are super natural looking and as Fatana always says, your eyebrows frame your whole face. read more

Absolutely loved my experience from start to finish! Communications beforehand was open and easy and the outcome was perfection. I was researching for months beforehand and was extremely nervous as I have NEVER done any permanent or semi perm makeup or alterations before in my life (almost backed out last minute!) but Fatana has such a warm spirit and made the entire process smooth and comforting. On Day 1, my friend saw my brows and booked an appointment for herself on the spot!It has been such a game changer!! She is truly the best of the best in the DMV. Couldn't be more happy with the outcome - highly recommend to everyone considering. read more

I booked a appointment for my moms birthday and her brows are amazing ! She had such a easy healing process, she's gained confidence with her new brows and we can't wait to go back ! Thank you for being so accommodating and knowledgeable in what you do read more

Fatana is super sweet and knowledgeable about her craft. The atmosphere is really cozy and clean despite it being a smaller space. I'm still in the scabbing phase for my brows and will update with a full review once they heal in a month. read more

Karimi does an incredible job, she's the queen of microblding in east cost ! Highly recommend!

Fantana Karimi is AMAZING! She sculpted the perfect brows for my face- I swear I look 10 years younger. I was thinking of getting my brows microbladed for years and stalked Instagram to find the perfect artist - I'm so glad I found Karimi. They are fluffy and not fake looking at all. She's also super easy to talk to and work with. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Fatana is seriously so talented. I was pretty nervous about getting my brows done, mostly concerned with proper shaping and didn't want them too dark. She created the most perfect shape to frame my face and chose a color that matches my hair and skin tone well. She's super sweet andI'm so excited to wake up and have perfect brows! read more

Fatana is amazing! I am super picky but I trusted her suggestion to shape my eyebrows in a way that is the complete opposite of what I'm used to. I thought my prior shape was great and I received compliments regularly. Well, now my brows look AMAZING and I cringe when I see pics of my brows before I let Fatana work her magic! She is worth every penny. read more

Omg! So this is something that I've wanted to do for a long time. But as excited as I was about the idea of not having to fill in my eyebrows everyday, I was also super nervous. My friend Carla told me that I needed to start following this brow artist Karion instagram... said her work was amazing. And yes, the photos and videos she posted were spectacular. Still, I couldn't get myself to take the leap. It wasn't until Carla made her appointment and I got to see the work and feedback from someone I know and trusted. Carlas brows were fantastic and I knew I need to get in on it!!! So I did it, made my appointment, and showed up to this sweet young woman who made the experience most enjoyable! She was professional but human. Talking to you to ease your nerves and genuinely listened to what you said. She is insanely talented and deserves all the hype. I LOVE my brows!!!! I have fairly dark hair and practically blonde brows... so I've always had to color them in. It's so time consuming every morning and super frustrating when you can't get them to look just right. Now I will never look back! She has saved me so much time! It has nearly been two weeks since my appointment and the results speak for themselves! I get compliments on my brows constantly and when I tell people they are amazed at the detail. Her individual hair strokes provide the most realistic detail that just wows anyone that looks at them! Do yourself a favor... take the leap! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

Fatana is an absolute gem! I was really nervous about microblading and the pain level that came with it. She's really great at explaining the process and put me to ease right away. I wanted a natural look and she gave me just that. She definitely skilled (which is evident by all her clients and photos of her work). I highly recommend her! read more

I've suffered with scarce eyebrows my whole life and have always been hesitant with considering PMU. I came across Karimi on Instagram and after a while of pondering I finally decided to book a ombré powder appointment. Fatana made the whole process comfortable and my healed results before touch up turned out really natural. Looking forward to my touch up appointment to hopefully get them darker and more defined in the front! read more

All I can say is WOW! I didn't really know what microblading was before but my friend told me about it (and about Fatana) and I couldn't wait to get my eyebrows done. When she showed me the result after she did it, all I could say was "OMG, I have eyebrows". I've always had VERY light and VERY thin eyebrows (WAY too much waxing when I was younger). Fatana did a great job 1) explaining the process to me and 2) with her overall work. She definitely has a gift. I am going in for my touch-up shortly and can't wait to see what the final product looks like. (PS, the process does NOT hurt at all. I have a very low pain threshold and it's definitely not painful). read more

I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am that I came across this girl. She completely changed the way I view my entire face!! Not only did she reshape and define my "scarce" brows, but she also made me look like a complete rockstar! I sincerely mean it when I say she's a brow MAGICIAN YA'LL! Her books fill up quickly, but she is worth the wait. I would wait an entire year plus if she was full for the finished product you receive. Plus, it's your face.. you only have one. Don't settle for someone just because they can fit you right in.. I'd venture to say that's because they aren't on this chicks level. So glad I went to her!! read more

Thankyou Karimi! I got ombré powder brows, which I prefer bc they are shaded darker, but still look very natural. My eyebrow ended up being exactly what I needed. The struggle of filling in brows everyday was gone. Karimi was professional and kind and did her job great! read more

6/5 Stars for me! My Karimi experience has been amazing from start to finish. Fatana completely transformed my brows.. I am in love as well as in awe! After months of following @karimillc on IG, it was very obvious that Fatana is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft.. I had faith from the beginning that I would be in great hands.. So glad that I put full trust in her because my brows went from blah to bomb! To add to that, her customer service is out of this world-- she has such a refreshing vibe/spirit. I say all this to say.. Book with Karimi!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Fatana is truly one of a kind brow artist. I had mine micro bladed and my results are amazing.

Fatana did a fabulous job on my brows. She is truly an experienced professional. She helped me to relax and trust the process. I would recommend her to anyone. I have received many compliments from everyone in the natural look of my brows. Thanks Fatana! read more
