Similar to Lynn, I am fair in my decisions, & thorough - the following is with the caveat that my work with her has focused on previously microbladed brows, now needing some color correction. So if you are a 1st-timer to any type of brow work, I'd still recommend Lynn. Color correction details below. I'll update once the process is complete. Why even have my brows "done"? For me, I workout 6 days a week, and my natural eyebrow color is very light blonde. My shape and arch however, are amazing - the color just doesn't make my face have full framing around it unless I manually pencil in my eyebrows every day, and with twin toddlers, that's not something that fits my lifestyle. My goals: 1. Dark brown, no more red areas 2. Fuller/wider/thicker looking 3. Ensure my eye area looks more opened and not closed by adding some width 4. Also, I have a Marilyn monroe tattoo that was also fading and wanted touched up so it matched the same dark brown of my brows. It's over a freckle and held on to the color in the same way as my first microblading session. So, then the decision is: -Eyebrow tinting (lasts 2 weeks roughly) -Microblading -Powder brows or ombre brows 1st time: Microblading, not done by Lynn. I first had my eyebrows microbladed in Jan 2018 by a very experienced microblader. I have fair, red-undertoned skin but prefer my brows to be dark brown since I'm blonde in summer and dark in fall. I was told the color could last anywhere from 1-3 years at that time. My first microblading color retained until mid 2020, when I noticed red color showing on my brows, more than the brown. After weeks of research, reading the reviews, etc., I picked Lynn due to her attention to detail and common references to her patience for "getting it right" instead of just throwing some color over brows. I highly suggest researching the pro's and con's of microblading vs powder or dip brows using a facial tattoo method. This was what also lead me to Lynn, she does the latter instead of microblading for several reasons. 2nd time: Powder Brows with Lynn with color correction. My initial consult with Lynn was very thorough. She knew I had prior ink still from my first microblading and thus wanted to see it - we exchanged some texts where I also showed best I could, in well-lit pictures what my brows look like. With covid cases starting to resurge, we tried to do this best we could via pictures first. Lynn pointed out that any type of color correction most likely needs 3 visits, and only the first two sessions were included in her pricing, which makes sense. If it's extra time for her I understand, and going back over another product can be challenging. Lynn also pointed out I have some scar tissue in areas towards my arch and tail which could be why that's where the red was more noticeable. This points back to my comments around researching the tradeoffs between microblading and ombre brows. For the 1st session, she went over my existing arch line, without doing any mapping just to see how the color-matched or responded to the remaining red pigment that my brows were holding on to, from my prior microblading. Numbing cream was applied, she was courteous and informative about what she was seeing, what she was doing, why, and how, during the entire process, which I appreciated. I like those types of details. I loved the color walking away from the first session. They were slightly wider than my existing narrow brows and a nice, rich, dark brown. That is the ultimate color I was hoping for, just a bit wider. There was a bit of back and forth on which color to use, to successfully cover up and first neutralize the red that is showing in my brows. She opted for the lighter brown. 2nd Session with Lynn: Touch-up. After the initial healing of about 6-8 weeks, I revisited Lynn so she could assess where my brows were for level of color retention and response to the light brown applied over the red. It definitely appeared my brows needed more color, still a few areas showing more red, than brown. We did another session that day, again without a lot of brow mapping done, but focusing on getting the color correct. I hoped we'd have revisited the width goals I was aiming for but the color was more important to get before making them larger. 3rd session: 6 weeks post-2nd appointment, and my brows still looked close to what I felt like they did after the first session - both my brows and my Marilyn dot didn't appear much darker, nor larger/wider. So we're now going to meet and review the cost/scope of whatever is still needed to get these truly darker/wider, but I'm of course a little nervous after the 2nd session didn't end up making my brows look much different than the 1st. Lynn's been understanding of these concerns & responsive while also juggling a very full schedule. My concerns are not about her technique, she is VERY detailed, moreso if the color type/selection was correct, but she was upfront it could be a gamble. More to come! read more

It was finally time, my 6 month wait list was almost up for my appointment at Spades Beauty. I had already paid my $100 non refundable deposit for brow microblading (no touch-up appointment was included). Before my appointment, I went in to get my monthly lashes done and everyone told me that I needed to talk to Lynne before I got my brows done. She didn't have as flashy a website or as many reviews but I decided to contact Lynne because I valued where the referral came from. As soon as we started emailing, I could tell that Lynne was all about her customers and her service. She asked so many questions about my lifestyle, skin type and why I wanted to get my brows done. She talked to me about the pros and cons of microblading, being completely honest about the damage that is done after 3+ years of microblading. Because of the honesty and care that Lynne took with me, I cancelled my appointment at Spades, it was worth loosing my deposit. Lynne's services also come with a touch-up included in the fee. We opted to go with a powder ombré brow. Microblading aims to look natural with perfectly done hair strokes. They slice into your skin and ink goes in. If you keep doing this year after year, there will obviously be skin damage. Powder ombré brows give you the look of perfectly filled in eyebrows that last 2-3 years. The procedure is gentler on your skin and has the least amount of damaging consequences. The number one thing Lynne is aware of, is keeping your skin healthy. This is also the most important to me when picking which service to get. I show up to get my brows done and Lynne has picked the ink based on my skin undertone. She warned that they would have a red undertone for the first 1-2 weeks but that they'd settle into the perfect black/brown. I'll admit I was nervous when I had mahogany brows for 2 weeks but she was right, they're the perfect color now. She said she does this to avoid the ashy/black brows that are on the internet as fail memes. By the time the ink color settles after scabbing is done, it will heal in a cooler tone than the initial ink color. Having them warmer/red means they'll heal to a nice brown/black. Starting them at the color you want, means they'll heal into an ashy/blue tone. Next up is mapping your brows. Lynne had already asked for photos of how I fill them in. She spent a lot of time measuring and mapping my brows and arches to outline where to fill in. Saying that it's better to not go as thick or dark as you initially think, because we can always do that on the touch-up but we can't take them down once they're done (only time can). Once both Lynne and I were happy with the outline, it was tattoo time. She used a topical numbing cream to help, it wasn't comfortable but it wasn't painful for me. I started to feel a little sore but that was at the very end after it'd been a 2-3 hours. The healing procedure is CRITICAL in color retention. You're going to scab around day 3, they're going to be hideous, wear a hat and don't plan any occasions where you can't wear a hat. You cannot peel the scabs, I repeat, no peeling your scabs! If you peel the top layer of skin off with the scab, you're peeling off the layer of skin that has the most amount of ink. When the scab naturally peels off, the retention stays. I'll let Lynne be the one to fill in the details of cleaning and moisturizing. It took about 4-5 days of the scabbing phase for it all to fall off natural. It wasn't a graceful beautiful stage but it was worth it. I absolutely love my brows. Even without my touch-up appointment, they're amazing and have made my life so much easier. I have pretty good brow hair but the corners were lighter as well as the insides of my brows. Every woman knows what it's like to rub your face, look down, see a color streak on your hand and realize that you've rubbed off part of a brow. That's no longer an issue for me. I'm always outside in the rain, snow, heat and my brows always wiped off. I hated it because brows frame my face and without them, I wasn't as happy with my look. Now they're 24/7 ready to go. I'm almost a month post procedure and they're getting darker every week that they heal. That was a really long review but when I was looking up where to go, I appreciated them. This is after all, a service that transforms our face (in a good way or in a bad way). If you go to Lynne, it will transform you in a good way. You won't regret it. read more

LUXE Beauty Ink - Zero makeup on. No touch up done on brows. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

I chose to make an appointment with Lynne after reading her reviews on Yelp. I had considered another company for a few weeks but reviewers had mixed experiences based on which stylist they got. At LUXE it's only Lynne and she isn't pumping out clients, so she's really available to work with you and spend the whole time focus on your needs, not the next appointment. As someone with no beauty routine, but missing half an eye brow, I was always self conscious but never skilled enough to cover up my brows. When the powder brows became a thing I knew I had found my solution. Experience highlights: I had no idea what I was doing and Lynne was super helpful. She was available by text to talk me through the emotional roller coasters of the healing process. I don't think you'd get that with other businesses with more staff and clients I LOVE MY NEW EYEBROWS!!!!!! I seriously think it shaved a few years off of my look. I feel so polished and confident. Personal low points: I lead a very active lifestyle so not sweating or getting in the water for two weeks was VERY HARD The first go round the color didn't stick which is not uncommon As a non makeup wearer I felt a little silly with dark bold brows until they healed. Overall this experience and the finish product was almost life changing for me. Again, I feel so much more confident in my appearance. If you're considering it at all give Lynne and call! read more

Love love love Lynne's work! Each appointment I've had with her is like getting to hang out with a friend.

LYNNE IS AMAZING. She seriously works magic. I'm super particular about my eyebrows, and I searched high and low to find someone who would work with my (super sensitive) skin and how particular I wanted my eyebrows. Enter: Lynne! I was able to shoot her an email and she got back to me within 24 hours. Not only that, but she texts, which is SO helpful, especially for this new Mom. She sent me up with a consultation which lasted about an hour and she went through everything with me in detail - and her studio is SO cute! She answered all my questions and made sure that I even got patch tested before we went through with my appointment. After that, we scheduled my eyebrow appointment! She's super flexible and takes her time with you, making sure that YOU are her main focus, not anyone else. She also makes sure that she is particular and detailed with what's going on your face - she used to be an esthetician, so she knows the ins and outs of making sure your skin is on point! On the day of my appointment, she made me super comfortable and made sure that I LOVED (not liked, but LOVED) everything about my new eyebrows. During the appointment, she even had good music going which made the time pass by SO quickly. When she was done, she made SURE i loved my new eyebrows (I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!), went through the after care routine, sent me home with an after care kit, and even scheduled my next follow up! I couldn't be more thankful to have met (and now have!) this amazing lady to trust my skin to! Thank you so much, Lynne! You're amazing! read more

I went to Lynne for a facial and what a wonderful experience it was. I have had many facials and none were as relaxing as Lynne's. As soon as you go into Luxe you feel special, her room is warm and inviting and Lynne is personable and professional. There were several layers of treatments, facial massage, masks, exfoliants etc., each one separate by a hot towel, wow. The products that she uses are high quality, with no toxic smells, which is important to me, since I'm allergic to a lot of facial products. She takes her time with each step and you just sink into the table. My face never felt so good and hydrated. Having a facial from Lynne, you feel so pampered. It not only rejuvenates your face but your spirit, and you look so much better and younger. Everyone deserves this. read more
