    The cutest little studio!! I went and saw Addie for a Black Friday flash sale and had such an amazing experience! Got 2 pieces and they're both so cute and done so well. Addie is also super nice and easy to talk to overall had such a good experience I'd definitely go back for more

    I came in for my first tattoo after following Anna Westby's work on Instagram for months! Anna is such a down to earth, thoughtful, and talented person. She made me feel comfortable with the process (as it was all new to me) from start to finish! The shop is so beautiful, clean and welcoming, and the staff is super personable and unique. Can't wait to return! Highly recommend Koneko Studio!

    What I thought it might turn out like

    Horrible service. Horrible craftsmanship. Ridiculous pricing. To start with, I arrived 10 minutes early to my appointment. After waiting a full hour and a half I finally saw my artist, the owner, Linda, milling about the studio. I had sent my reference photos maybe 4 months prior and she had informed me that she still hadn't prepared my design. So I waited about 45 minutes longer for her to not only charge her design tablet, but also to finally get going on creating the design. The tattoo outline was fine, but when it came to the shading, EVERYTHING WAS GRAY. Any intro to art student could probably create better contrast and actually SHADE the tattoo instead of coloring it the same dull color. Moreover, Linda had even been so sloppy as to get stippling OUTSIDE of the image border. Literally can't color in the lines. I was very friendly and honest about my feelings about the tattoo once it healed (didn't look any better), and hoped I could receive a touch up in the shading or even a cover up considering I shelled out $650 plus a $140 tip for a measly 2" x 4" tattoo. I was informed that the artist "stands by her work" despite the fact that every tattoo artist and tattoo aficionado I consulted agreed that it was shoddy craftsmanship, sloppy work. They did offer a useless consultation with Linda, who sees nothing wrong with her work, but no refunds or even partial refunds for any mistakes these artists will permanently make on your body. DO NOT even THINK about visiting this place if you have any self respect. Unless you want to waste your money to look ugly. Then immediately waste some more money to try to salvage what's now permanently on your body. I attached a picture of the tattoo as well as my reference for you to make your judgement yourself. Even if you're thinking to yourself "eh... It's not that bad", remember I spent almost a thousand bucks on this. NOT ART. JUST INK.

    6/6 convo (yellow is the shop)

    If you choose to go here, be aware that their prices are high and they will not tell you the actual price unless you ASK right before they start tattooing you. I've had many tattoos done and I have never had anyone LIE to me about the price of a tattoo. (They're going to say "we don't give pricing ahead of time" but unfortunately with me they did and they failed to keep true to it or explain to me the suggestions that THEY MADE, would cost me more.) Here's my experience with Koneko Studio: I sent a tattoo inquiry from their website. They immediately replied back asking for pictures and asking to pay a deposit. I replied sending photos of what I wanted and I also asked for an estimate. I didn't feel good about paying for a deposit without knowing an estimate for the tattoo. They did not reply back but they did send another email booking the appointment which I thought was weird since I didn't pay the deposit. I sent 2 emails after that asking again. They finally called me and told me that the estimate would be $800-$900. After that I was resent the email to pay the deposit and I paid it. Day of the appt I came in and Addie came up me with 3 different stencils. Since my inquiry said large 6-9 inches I chose the large one that matched the photos I sent. None of the photos I sent were small. I said I liked it and she went back saying she would get things ready. She then came back up to me with a larger stencil and asked if I liked that one better. (I did not ask for a bigger stencil, she herself suggested one). I did like the bigger one better so I chose that one. She asked me more about how I wanted it done and I referenced the photos that I sent and said I wanted exactly what I had sent. During the tattoo process itself, everything went perfect. Addie was great to talk to. She was funny and nice. She took a breaks and sprayed my arm with numbing spray which made finishing my tattoo up easy. At the end when I paid for my tattoo she asked if I paid the $150 deposit. I said yes and she did some things on her phone and put the final price for me to pay. She charged me $1250. I felt uncomfortable but I paid it because I am just very awkward, shy, and non confrontational. I also felt very conflicted because I loved my tattoo and I didn't want to question her work and make her feel like her art wasn't deserving of that price. Today I decided to look at their tattoo reviews. A lot of people had the same complaints saying they won't give you a set price and that they charge a lot for their tattoos. Their responses to people's complaints were awful. After reading so many reviews complaining about the same thing I felt justified in my feelings. I then decided to email them and explain to them that I was really upset that my tattoo was $500 more than what I was told. (I attached photos of the convo. Pink highlight pages are me. Yellow is the studio.) They then deflected as much as they could and put the blame on me for not talking to them about my strict budget that I had and that they don't do set prices and that it's hard to give estimates. But the fact is that they DID give me an estimate. I went off of the budget that THEY gave me. They then tried to say that I got a bigger size than what I had originally asked for, which was not my fault. I did not ask for my piece to be bigger. The artist herself came up to me with a bigger stencil and then failed to tell me, "hey just so you know since this stencil is bigger, we are going to charge you $500 more". They also said I asked for more shading, which I did not. I showed Addie the shading in the photo I sent in my tattoo inquiry. It wasn't new information. I just pointed out that what I sent to them originally is what I wanted my tattoo to look like. What was even more ridiculous was that while I was looking at the reviews, I saw a review complaining about the prices and they had replied back saying that THEY and NO ARTIST EVER bases prices on coloring or SHADING. So to me I thought it was weird they used that as an argument to increase their price. I did tell them this as well which of course they ignored because they cannot admit they fucked up. In the end they gave a shit apology and didn't offer a solution. They have yet to say, "we messed up." As much as I love Addy's work, I won't go back. I still rate them 2 stars because their art is great. I love my tattoo. I just wish I was told that the suggestion that she made for me would cost me more. Again, never have I ever in the past 8 years that I have gotten tattoos, have I ever had a quote jump up $500 or have been lied to about a tattoo quote. This is also not my first larger tattoo or even the largest tattoo that I have. (It is the most expensive though). So in the end, if you do go here, just be aware they do not give you good price estimates, and they will blindside you with the price. They do charge A LOT (like a lot a lot), but in all honestly they do great art work there.

    Tattoo by Linda

    The studio is amazing and I loved working with Linda. She guided me through the whole process and the piece came out better than expected! Highly recommend.

    I walked in wanting 2 simple, fine line tattoos. Didn't have an appointment or anything. The studio was clean, quiet, calm. Great environment. Anna did my tattoo and was amazing. Quick and painless. I highly recommend this studio!

    Mallory B.

    First time using Francesca for lashes and it won't be the last! Very professional and talented artist. Can't wait for my fill appointment.

    Cortney W.

    Booked my app out with Linda a few months in advance and was given a date and time. I got to the appointment on time and waited a little over 2 hours to be seen by Linda, by which time we (her team and I) had talked thru price range/size and design. Linda was super professional and quick; and her apprentice Anna was a delight to talk to while tiny needles were stabbing me profusely. The price was higher then other places I have been but no more then what I was expecting AND definitely worth it. When you get a piece from Linda you are paying for a piece that's recognizable as hers, time and experience in the field. It's a piece of artwork and you should treat it as such. An arts value is based on what the artist deems it to be. If you aren't willing to pay for it that's fine but it's not your place to deem how much an artist should charge. Will definitely be back :)

    After getting it done
    Maria A.

    Came here about two years ago for a tattoo that was supposed to be a dream catcher on my arm. I was very disappointed on how it came out based on that this was a high end tattoo studio and the fact that I paid $800. The lines were completely wobbly and done horribly( shown in picture) I'm genuinely embarrassed to show people this tattoo. Linda the owner was the one to tattoo me and I got good vibes from her in the beginning but once I sat on the chair I felt like she was very rushed with my tattoo. I had two appointments scheduled for this tattoo because it was a big piece and she finished it in one knowing I had two. Since this was my first tattoo I was hoping for a good experience but it was completely awful. During the healing process I got terrible bruises (blow out) on my arm from her going too deep, and the wrap that was placed on the tattoo was placed horribly. Will definitely not recommend coming here to get tatted! Do your research on tattoo places! SAVE YOUR MONEY.

    Wow, you charged my 18 year old daughter $575 for this tattoo. You are insane. I've been to Elm Street for years, have a Brilliant sleeve tattoo and several other tattoos, with details and color.....my daughter being the women's activist that she is wanted to go to a women's tattoo shop, researched and found KONEKO. Also being a teen she did not want to go to her moms tattoo place. However mom was paying and never in a million years would have thought they would take advantage of her and over charge for a line art tattoo that they didn't even provide artwork for. What a joke! DO NOT GO TO KONEKO.

    My piercing one day after; the "tear" had already developed.
    Joyce S.

    I went in early June to get my rook piercing done as a walk-in. The staff was all very friendly and the studio was very open and clean. I signed the papers and waited for the piercer, Masimo, to get everything prepared. I laid down to get my rook done and was pierced. I'm not sure what was wrong with the first piercing but he took the needle out and then pierced me a second time. After he put in the jewelry he had me look at it; it was pierced so shallow that I could see the jewelry through my skin. He offered to do it a third time for better placement which I agreed to so I was pierced three times in the same area. The piercing service was $50 then on top of that I had to pay another $20-$30 for the jewelry. I only received verbal aftercare instructions from the piercer and I was told to only wash it w a mild soapy water + cutip. A saline soak was never mentioned even though after researching and asking other piercers, that is what they all recommended to clean. The second hole that was pierced almost became a tear bc of how shallow it was and all the swelling since my rook area went through a lot of trauma but has been healing well thankfully. It's been a little over two weeks now and my rook has been healing well thanks to frequent saline soaks. The swelling has gone down but now I'm able to properly see that my piercing wasn't done straight and is at an angle. I'll more than likely take it out and try again with a reputable piercer.

This type of manicure does take time to do - approximately 1.5 hours, but worth it in my opinion for how precise the nail technicians are with your cuticles. The vibe is very welcoming.

I highly recommend this place, but also don't want others to go because it's now my new nail spot! Ha!

    I moved to the Dallas area a month ago and therefore had to find new everything -- new places to do…read moremy hair, lashes, nails, etc -- which has lowkey been a nightmare because I'm so picky. I have always kind of struggled with retention when it came to lash extensions even though I do my due diligence with following care instructions: wash the lashes every day, brush them out, no oil products, etc etc, and would still need to fill my lashes every two weeks or less or else they would look raggedy. I found Tammy on Yelp and have gotten two volume fills with her so far and, oh my god, the retention on her lashes is absolutely insane!! I'm currently two weeks out and my lashes still are SO full. She also really takes her time and makes sure that you leave with full, full lashes! The first time I saw her, I got a foreign fill and my lashes were pretty much depleted after two weeks, and Tammy spent DOUBLE the amount of time filling my lashes and making sure I left with a full set. On top of that, Tammy is an absolute joy to talk to and it's clear that she knows her stuff. I will admit, when I read the part of her description that said "once you try us, this will be the last time you do a search for lash extensions," I was like that's very ambitious, but she 100% stands by that. In the two years or so that I've had lash extensions, she's easily one of the best lash techs that have worked on me if not the best. I am definitely not the type to be tied down to one establishment when it comes to beauty services, but I will definitely be a loyal client to Tammy for as long as I'm in Dallas. The only way she could improve her business is a more streamlined system for booking appointments, but her work is second to none. Seriously, once you go to her, you're done looking.
