    Micro shading before & immediately after
    Dana A.

    Emilia was great. She took her time explaining the various techniques and created my new eyebrows based on what I wanted to achieve. Although I am posting my review a few days after the procedure, I can't wait to see the final result in a few weeks.

    I inherited my father's eyebrows or rather his eyebrow, because he only has one, as do I. And that's why I flew from Tennessee to New York to get my face tattooed. During my first visit, I was lucky enough to arrive in time to talk to a previous patient of Emilia's. She was happy in general. Her only complaint was that she felt the results faded too fast. However, she pointed out that Emilia uses an actual tattoo pen for micropigmentation where most people use a blade (microblading) and that she uses higher quality ink. She also informed me that the procedure set her back $900. OUCH! I don't know why I didn't ask cost before flying to NY, but I didn't. THE PROCEDURE First, your brows are numbed and then you have a consultation. Emilia drew some brows on my face; I didn't like them (I looked like my mother.), she redrew them, I didn't like them, etc., etc., until I liked them. Then we picked a color and we began. The procedure didn't hurt. It felt slightly uncomfortable at times, like scratching, but it wasn't bad. AFTERCARE My only complaint is communication, but most of this should be a non-issue if you live in-state. 1. The pre-appointment communication was non-existent. I reached out to them to ask for pre-procedure instructions; I feel they should have provided them without being prompted to do so. 2. They didn't call to confirm my appointment either time, which gave me anxiety coming from out-of-state. 3. I also would have preferred post healing instructions upfront as I would have made different choices. Perhaps the worst part is that you can't get the treated area wet for a couple of weeks. As I literally flew in before the procedure, I desperately wanted a shower. Other instructions? 2 Weeks - Avoid water, makeup (on treated area), lotion, pencils, sweating, exercising, dye, waxing, tweezing, laser, electrolysis, itching, rubbing, touching 4 Weeks - Swimming, sauna, steam AS LONG AS YOU CAN - AHA, Retinol A, Wind, Sun POST SESSION 1: Right after the procedure I was obsessed with my brows, but my excitement faded over the next several days as I went through the healing process. I had a very unusual healing process. Emilia shared with me that in 20 years of doing brows she has never seen someone heal like me. This isn't her fault, this was simply my bodies reaction to the process. For the first week was brows were shiny and swollen. They then started to itch and scab. On day 12 I started to get worried and called Emilia. She took my call personally and provided lots of help. Using Aquaphor, I was able to get the scabs off. But the scabs appeared to take the color too. If this happens to you, don't worry! In speaking to another micropigmentation artist (randomly ran into her, wasn't anything against Emilia), I was reassured that this is part of the normal healing process and she said the color would "bloom" (come back). After the scabs fell off and my brows healed, the color did indeed bloom. SESSION 2 During session 2 Emilia used a blade to try to create more hair strokes. This time I did have some pain. I'm not sure if it was the blade or the fact that my eyebrows were still sensitive from session 1. Regardless, it wasn't unbearable. My healing process after the second session was the same as the first though less intense as she did less work. BOTTOM LINE: PRICE: $900 is a hell of a lot of money to me. If they last a couple of years, it's worth it. It's so fun to take a shower and to wake up in the morning with eyebrows. Would I do it again? Yes. If I lived in NY, I would see Emilia again without hesitation. In fact, I can see myself flying back when the time is right. I trust her. She has talent, and she is kind. Her office is booming even though she does very little advertising and that says a lot.

    Top photo is it healed. Left was before and right after procedure, right is after (included) touch up. Love having nice brows!

She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.

I did the $65 European facial which included some cleansing/face massage, 10 min steaming, quick extraction, two 10-min face masks, and then cleanup. You are left alone for the steaming and face masks. In between, there was lotion applied to my arms and a little of the upper back. Overall, felt like it was a relaxing experience in a very clean and professional environment. Most of the experience was having lotion applied or waiting for the mask to set - total work time on my face was 10 min. Is that supposed to be what happens during facials?? Elaine was my esthetician and was very courteous and communicated each step of what she was doing to keep me informed! At the end of the process, I was given a load of free samples!! Whoa!
