    4-D Microblading. My left side has less eyebrow hair so it does look slightly different than right, but that is beyond the tech's control.
    Sheena K.

    I had many procedures at Perfection Permanent Makeup including tattoo removal and 4-D Microblading. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The customer service and communication with Alice, who has been my tech, are impeccable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had brow tattoo for greater than 20 years and had been an ongoing challenge for me, when I had previous Microblading. The tattoo prevented me from getting good results with Microblading. So when they finally offered the service, I quickly made appointments for tattoo removal sessions. It took several treatments as my tattoo was very stubborn. I finally had my Microblading completed a couple months ago with touch up a month ago and I was so pleased. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Alice listened to what I wanted and worked with to achieve the brows I wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be going back to do my touch ups. I am so glad I found a local place that does excellent work. I used to go to NYC but the trip was so inconvenient. I highly recommend PPM.

    I went in for a consultation and ended up going through with my first laser removal process today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt confident and comfortable with Alice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The office was welcoming and beautifully decorated. It was clean and each room was private with its own door. I also had the pleasure to speak with another client who came in for her final removal. I was able to see Alice's work first hand before I started my first session, so I felt even more comfortable starting this process. Location is downtown but parking was very convenient even on the weekend when the building garage is closed. Eyebrows are an important asset to one's face. Confidence is even more powerful. I'm looking forward to a more natural look and relieved I have Alice to help me to my goal! I hope this reviews helps others in my position. Stay tuned!

    I've never had lashes that lasted for 3 weeks without any issues. They also looked long but natural. Best lashes in DC!

    One month brows done by Recy. Free-handed, too dark, too arched.

    While I found the studio to be nice and Recy and Alice both welcoming, I am less than pleased with the final product of my eyebrows. I had my eyebrow appointment on January 18, 2022. It's been just over a month since my appointment. Initially while still in the studio, I thought my eyebrows looked okay but way, way dark. I told myself the color would fade (it's not my first time microblading) but I also didn't realize how dark they were nor how misshapen they were until I got home. I was a little nervous coming to a new artist so I completely forgot all of the questions I needed to ask. First of all, I should have been concerned when Recy asked me if I liked my shape and color multiple times. My answer to both questions was yes - because I did, however, Recy did not match the shape or color.. at all. I should have been concerned when Recy did not measure out my eyebrow (as my previous artist did) but instead was free handing my eyebrows. Again, I should have said something at the studio but I was keeping my mind blank to brace myself for the pain (I'm a big baby when it comes to pain) and I was also trusting Recy as a "Master Artist". This is a warning to everyone - do NOT let your artist free hand your brows! Make sure they map out the shape of your brows!!!! The result of this is that my brows are not symmetrical to each other nor does it match my face. I have one eyebrow with that is much more visibly arched. On top of that, one eyebrow has two lines that are not even within the shape of my eyebrow (one top, one bottom). Second, the color. She asked me if I liked the color of my current eyebrows, and I did! The color she picked for my eyebrows was NO WHERE NEAR the color of my previous brows. It makes my eyebrows look sharpie black, makes my face look sharp and angry. My previous color made my face look soft. Additionally, my natural hair color is NOT black but a dark, dark brown. This black microblade makes my face look SO off. Putting my first microbladed eyebrows (done by an artist out of state) next to my current eyebrows and there is a distinct difference. I am actually embarrassed by my eyebrows and do not like looking at myself or taking pictures of myself. If I could turn back time, I would actually buy plane tickets to California to visit my previous artist or just continue to fill in my brows daily! While in the studio, Recy also mentioned that I may need a touch-up. However, she failed to mention that the touch-up is NOT included in the $700+ price of the procedure. When I called to schedule a follow up, I was shocked that I was being told it was $100+ for a touch up. Additionally, when I told the person on the phone that I was unhappy with my shape and wanted to fix it, I was still quoted $100+. I currently have a touch up appointment scheduled but am highly considering finding another artist at a different location to fix my eyebrows. Lastly, I was less than impressed by the aftercare. She essentially gave me a little booklet that showed the phases my eyebrows would go through and two packets of cream. There was little in the way of actual instructions.

    My appointment was with Alice and it was for permanent eyeliner makeup. The results turned out so beautifully! I suffer from Alopecia and Alice really made me feel beautiful again. She is incredibly professional, she's an amazing artist, and the Perfection Permanent Makeup studio is such a beautiful inviting oasis. She even does before and after photos for you! I highly recommend her services!

    I had the 4D combo with Penny and she did a wonderful job! The procedure took about 3 hours. It was pretty painful even with the numbing cream but the results were worth it. My brows were flaking the first 2 weeks, then there was some uneven patches but by week 4-5 the pigmentation looked a lot more even. I would definitely return.

    Before and after. My brows are a bit dark in the photos, but they will lighten a bit.
    Dana S.

    I lost one of my eyebrows in a motorcycle accident, so I have scar tissue. On top of that, my natural brows are uneven. The staff at Perfection Permanent Makeup are absolutely the most talented artists I have ever used. They take their time, use the highest quality products, and are extremely professional. I have had my brows done several times, but I only let Perfection Permanent Makeup touch them now! You will not be disappointed!

    Lizzy L.

    I have been being a client of Recy for four years. She is a super high quality person who has more than a decade experience in microblading, even though she looks very young and elegant. If you wanna customized and perfect nature looking eyebrows, I highly recommend go to her. You absolutely will have zero worries but satisfaction. I just got the 4D feather combo done a few days ago since this is the best choice for me.

    Before and after 4 D combo
    Liz M.

    I've been getting my brows done with Recy for years and I have NO complaints at all. I get the 4D combo, previously tattooed and she changed my eyebrows for better. When it comes down to the frame of your face and semi permanent make up, my advice is to invest in the BEST. Treat it like an investment for yourself . I just hope to continue to get my brows many more years with Recy.

    Are there any Before and After pics of Redheads or Blondes who have had Microblading done here?

    Yes, please check our Instagram, you will see more before and after. Thanks.

    Do they offer ombre brow services? Its permanent shading vs microblading.

    How much does the microblading cost? I looked on the website & couldn't find the price. Thanks

    Mine was $475. Call for detailed pricing. She will tell you over the phone.

    How long is recovery? Would a beach vacation 2 weeks post procedure doable? Or are they red, crusty? Thanks!

    Recovery is like a week maybe a little sooner going to the beach 2 weeks later shouldn't be a problem. Mine didn't crust at all so I'm sure you will be fine. It's just like if you have a tattoo it will peel don't scratch it.

    How often does it need to be done?

    Semi permanent makeup can last about 1-3 years above. So different type of skin will get different results.

    What is the cost of eyebrow tattooing? Not microblading, just standard eyebrow tattoos. Thank you.

    I believe Recy only does microblading. She doesn't do traditional eyebrow tattoos, such as the type that uses the tattoo gun and goes deep into the skin.

    How much would it be for the eyeliner and eyebrows?

    For the top eyelash liner is $475, top and bottom is $625. For eyebrows, we have 7 different kinds of eyebrows, the price range is from $475-$750. They all look very natural, but they are different looks.

    Just wondering on microblading prices? Wasn't sure if it's based on how much you need or just a flat price

    It's a flat rate for each service, and you can combine her services, for example, you may want microblading with a "fill," background for the microblading.

Some places I've gone to prior have felt like they were just selling products and wanted to prescribe me monthly appointments without explanation on what was truly going on with my skin. Coming across Capital Laser and nurse Jane, I felt truly cared for, taken care of, and empathized with. As I had no knowledge of what laser treatment procedures were like, I was quite nervous on what to expect. But Jane walked me every step of the way without me even asking, and it eased all my anxieties throughout the process. My skin is very delicate and Jane made sure to be incredibly diligent and careful, she ran multiple test pulses to watch how my skin would react before deciding on how to proceed with the full treatment. There was never a moment of doubt or fear as Jane continuously guided me verbally on the direction she was taking while treating me. A few weeks post treatment, my skin is glowing for the first time in the longest time. Having such amazing results just from my first round of treatment really shows the quality of this facility and its experts, and I already look forward to coming back! The front desk rep, Michelle Ting, also creates a warm and welcoming ambiance to ensure that from the moment you enter, that you'll be in good & honest hands :)

I looked far better before receiving treatment. I was told me an excuses about the dents which were honestly insulting to my intelligence.

After this I did not want to receive treatments to fix the dents and unevenness as I could not trust somebody who is very clearly being dishonest directly to my face. The point is I did not have those issues before receiving treatment, therefore the treatment caused those issues. When I said I was leaving she actually stood in my way and refused to move even when asked, preventing me from leaving the office. She shifted her body at one point which allowed me to I grab my bag and leave. I'm sure there's many things she can do well but I do not receive such treatment. I also wasn't even refunded any money, so I paid nearly 2k and ended up looking worse than I did before receiving treatment.

    1 star -- Severe leg injury from laser treatment, then weeks of being ignored…read more I went in for my very first laser hair removal appointment on June 18th and left with severe burns/injuries covering both my legs (see photos). The marks were still visible almost two weeks later (i'm praying these are not permanent scars). I saw my own doctor on June 24th, who diagnosed an adverse skin reaction to the laser treatment, prescribed prescription-strength steroid cream and a prednisone taper, and explicitly advised me not to return for further treatment at this location. What made it worse was the response after: * The marks became visible the day after my appointment (Friday, June 19th). I was working all day and couldn't call, so I emailed them that same day asking if my legs -- badly swollen and itchy -- were a normal reaction. * Saturday, June 20th: I called right when they opened, since I still hadn't heard back on my email. I sent photos as requested. No callback all weekend, so I ended up at urgent care for a hydrocortisone prescription. * Monday, June 22nd: called again, was told the "lead nurse" would call me Tuesday. Also learned that the petroleum jelly they gave me at my appointment to apply afterward was actually making the injury worse (trapping heat) -- meaning their own staff handed me something that worsened my injury. * Tuesday, June 23rd: no call. Called again, was told the same thing. I also sent a second, detailed email that day explaining everything. Their site advertises a 24-hour email response; I never got one. * Wednesday, June 24th: saw my own doctor, who confirmed the severity and advised against continuing treatment. I called LaserAway to cancel my 8-session contract and was told a director would follow up in 24-48 hours. * I heard nothing. I had a beach vacation starting the very next day, and had to keep my legs covered and out of the ocean the entire trip because of this. * I followed up again after vacation (Monday, June 29th) and was told 24-72 business hours. * Got a callback the next day (Tuesday, June 30th), told -- again -- to send photos so a nurse could "look into it," with a callback promised for tomorrow (which is now today). As of writing this, every single promised callback in this process has either not happened or happened days late, so I'm not optimistic. I've since sent a formal written request for contract cancellation, a full refund, and reimbursement of my medical costs, along with my doctor's documentation. We'll see if that ever gets a response. This is a company whose entire business is aesthetics, and when they visibly injured a first-time client, the response was silence, contradictory advice, and stalling on a contract cancellation while the clock ran on my sessions. My vacation was negatively affected by their negligence. I would not recommend anyone start treatment here.

    Simply put, Dr. Ginn is a skin magician. I have been seeing her for over fifteen years (my late…read more20s, all of my 30s, and early 40s) due to bad adult acne and rosacea. Dr. Ginn and everyone else who works with her have always been kind, patient, and thoughtful. I also appreciate how Dr. Ginn grows the careers of those who work with her. This doctor's office is the only one where I feel like everyone remembers who I am (whether I call or come in), which is a testament to Dr. Ginn's leadership and vision for her office. Dr. Ginn listens to her patients well. I was adamant that I didn't want to take oral medication. Later, when I wanted to be off all antibiotics, including topical ones, she found a way to make that work. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Ginn. I have never been one to wear makeup​ and I get many compliments on my complexion. Three important notes: 1) The products are pricey. Two people I know initially recommended Dr. Ginn to me and their skin was radiant. They told me that Dr. Ginn's methods were more expensive than traditional dermatologists. Still, on my initial visit, I had sticker shock. Dr. Ginn recommended a lot of products to me, which she sells. I told her I would think about it and come back to purchase. I looked online and found that the products were similarly priced so I went back to Dr. Ginn and purchased; I haven't questioned her since. The products are expensive but they last a long time. I think about it like I'm investing in my skin's future, especially now that she's moved​ me onto a lot of anti-aging concoctions. 2) If you are coming to Dr. Ginn for skin care, as I do, and have trouble following regimens or want to use all of your own products, then Dr. Ginn probably isn't for you. My full regimen takes about five minutes each morning and night, and it involves 7-10 different products. 3) I have always had to wait about 10 minutes for my appointment even when I arrive a few minutes early. If you are prepared to wait and do not have to be somewhere right after your appointment then you will do well with Dr. Ginn. The upside to the waiting is that I have never felt rushed before, during, or after my appointments. The vibe of the office is very relaxing and serene.
