She did a fantastic job on my extensions, and when it came to my well being, she noticed I had been picking at my skin and mentioned that that could severely impact the healing process afterwards (the picking was an OCD tendency from a traumatic accident). She wanted to do more research before moving forward. Although, I was disappointed at first, as I was really looking forward to the microblading, I later realized the art of true professionalism displayed for her clients! Her studio is also very clean, and serene. I actually dozed off during my eyelash extension appointment. She is worth every penny!

Iveta was very…read morethorough and precise and prior to beginning the process, created a template to show me how the finished work would look. I'd never had micro blading done before, though I've needed it for years! My finished brows were even better than I'd expected since she had very little to work with. Even in a magnifying mirror it's almost impossible to tell the brow hairs aren't real. I will definitely be going back when needed.

I had a very disappointing experience at Royalty today with Maria, the owner…read more When I arrived, I clearly explained that I prefer a natural look. I typically get classic lashes, and if there are small gaps during a fill, I'm fine with adding a fan lash here and there to close them. Maria mentioned hybrid lashes, and I specifically told her that hybrid is usually too much for me. I also said I like a more natural, wispy look. This appointment was supposed to be a fill, and I still had about 70% of my lashes on. After I laid back and she began, she decided on her own to remove all of my existing lashes and give me an entirely new hybrid full set. At no point did she ask if I wanted them removed or if I wanted to switch to a full hybrid set. There was no discussion or consent -- she simply made that decision herself. When it was time to check out, she informed me she would be charging me for a full hybrid set -- well over $200. I was shocked. I calmly explained that I was never asked or informed that she would be removing my lashes and giving me a full set, and that this was not what I came in for. I was respectful and not confrontational -- just surprised and trying to understand. She reduced the price by $30, but it was still far more than I expected for what was supposed to be a fill. While paying, I politely mentioned to the receptionist that in the future, clients should be informed if their lashes are being fully removed and replaced before that decision is made. The receptionist said she wasn't the owner and couldn't do anything about it, which I understood. At that point, Maria came running out and told the receptionist to just charge me for a hybrid fill and told me never to come back. It was completely rude and unnecessary. I never refused to pay. I was never loud or disrespectful. I simply expressed that I felt it wasn't fair to remove someone's lashes and charge for a full set without discussing it first. This situation could have been handled professionally, but instead I was dismissed for calmly voicing a concern. Not only did she lose me as a client, but she also lost my daughter, my neighbor, and I will be sharing this experience with the person who referred me. She does what she wants rather than what you ask for -- and then charges you for it. There are plenty of lash studios out there. I would recommend choosing one that respects your preferences and communicates clearly before making major changes. Avoid this one.

I was a client of Maria's a couple weeks ago. I wanted to try lashes and also have my eyebrows…read moreshaped/tinted-all as a trial for my daughter's wedding this fall. Maria was so nice, patient, and wanted to be sure I was "educated"-understood the process, care that would be needed following the service-took the time to mix tints for my brows and asked my input/opinions on what I liked. I am not an easy client! I have very short, minimal eyelashes on which to glue the lashes on to! I also have limited eyebrows, with hair that grows a variety of directions! Long story short-Maria did a fabulous job! I looked soooo different with the lashes-I wanted to look "natural" steering away from the "spider" look-and Maria did not disappoint! I received sooo many compliments- when given, people we not sure what was "different" but thought I looked great! I intermittently wear glasses, and my eyes really "popped"! I felt like my face was partially "done" in the morning, not needing mascara or eye brow pencil!! I would definitely do this again with Maria!

When I voiced my concerns, they were ignored, and I was blamed for the poor results--despite being told in my consultation that my hair was in great condition and my desired look was achievable. I spent five hours in the chair, paid $200 (plus a 20% tip out of kindness), and was then blocked when I requested a refund for the service. Now, I have to pay someone else to fix the damage. I do not recommend booking with Marie if you value honesty, professionalism, and accountability. Full Review: I had a truly disappointing and frustrating experience with Marie, and I feel compelled to share it so others can make an informed decision before booking. I came in for a honey balayage with caramel tones, which we discussed and agreed upon in my consultation. However, throughout the appointment, my hair was colored and recolored three separate times into completely different shades, including copper, which I never asked for. I repeatedly voiced my concerns during the appointment, but my feedback was dismissed. What made this experience even worse was that Marie completely backtracked on what she originally told me. Before I booked, she assured me that my hair was in great condition and that my desired color was fully achievable. But when things didn't turn out right, instead of taking accountability, she blamed me, saying my hair was "ruined" and would have needed to be chopped off--despite telling me the complete opposite before. That gaslighting and lack of honesty were just as upsetting as the poor result. We spent nearly five hours in the salon (from 6:30 PM to past 11:30 PM), and I was still charged the full $200 for the service. Out of kindness, I even tipped 20%--not because I was happy with the results (I was not), but because I felt bad that she had spent so much time trying to correct something that clearly wasn't within her skill set. But at the end of the day, I should have been told upfront if my hair goals weren't achievable instead of going through multiple unnecessary processes, damaging my hair, and wasting time and money. After the appointment, I reached out to request a refund for the service amount, given that the final result was nowhere near what was discussed and I now have to pay someone else to fix it. Instead of responding professionally, Marie blocked me. That level of unprofessionalism speaks volumes. I left feeling unheard, frustrated, and devastated about my hair. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a stylist who listens, communicates honestly, and takes accountability for their work.

I met her…read morethrough a mutual friend and decided to ask for a last-minute blowout, which she could accommodate! Marie listens to what her customers want, and goes about accomplishing that goal with their best interest in mind. I was so happy with my blow out experience that I visited her the next time for a hair trim. Again, I was super pleased with the result. She also does coloring, balayage, and facial and underarm waxing, of which I have had my eyebrows done. Marie is super at what she does and is conveniently located in central Sarasota. Give her a visit!
