TEMPORARY eyebrows tattoo!!! So I did my 3D eyebrows tattoo on April and Erin did a great job she's gifted all my friends were amazed the way she drew it was perfectly done. BUT on May the color starts to fade off not sure what kind of ink they're using. I called them and Erin's mom who usually answer the phone advised me " to use WHATEVER I used to use before the tattoo was done " until the touch up appointment . I went for the touch up appointment on last week of June and when Erin saw me she goes " you must've USED something for your eyebrows that YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO!!!" I was like I called in here and been told to use the pencil to darkened the color. Day after day the color fading off now it's gone! I called them today and Erin's mom advised to send pictures of my eyebrows along with pictures of my current face wash I'm using daily I feel like they will blame me for using that face wash which I usually get it from any store. Let's see how will they fix it. I will keep updating my review according to the results I'll get. I am so NOT HAPPY I have SPENT $500 on it. Will post pictures for day one of the eyebrows and today how it's look like.

My before and after- I really had NOTHING... and look how beautiful and natural they are now!

Had my brows re-done by Adrianna and ended up going with the Ombré this time!!! She is totally just an all around amazing artist! She listens to you and makes sure you get the best possible service from every angle. You won't be disappointed! I don't trust anyone but her with my face!!!

Today I got my eyebrows Tattooed by the fabulous Erin. Let me say , it took me 10 years of drawing them every day and always wanting them done permanent but never can find the right artist. Well today I FINALLY DID!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!! She did exactly what I asked. Her office is clean and very sparkly decorated. Great taste! Now I can finally get ready every morning without spending 15 mintues drawing my eyebrows in ;) Im so happy I went with my gut and finally took the chance getting them done!!

Erin tattooed ABOVE my actual eyebrow. It looks like this on both sides.

I went to Erin to have my eyebrows done September 2016. I drove 5 hours from St.Louis to see Erin. I didn't take getting my face tattooed lightly, so I had done extensive research about what to expect including blog experiences, company websites, yelp reviews, and YouTube videos. Once I walked in, I was greeted by her mom, who was unfriendly, to say the least. She went back to tell Erin I was there, and I waited about 20 minutes to see her. When I saw Erin, she had a student with her taping the entire thing on her phone. Erin did ask me if it was ok that she was there, but naturally, because it is so awkward refusing in front of somebody, I felt obliged to say yes. Erin's "consultation" was about 10 minutes long, it felt rushed. She asked if I had any photos of brows I wanted to emulate, so I showed her photos of myself when they were drawn on (I wasn't wearing any makeup at my appointment), I also told her that I wanted them to follow the natural shape of my current eyebrows. She literally GLANCED at the photos and began to draw on my eyebrows, which gave me a bad feeling since everything I had read and watched in advanced showed that the consultation is the longest part of the appointment. Once she was done, I looked and was taken aback because they were very arched and a lot thicker than how I draw them on. When I brought this up to her, she reassured me that they wouldn't be as thick as she drew them, that was just the illusion the pen gave. So she sat be back and numbed me and left me while the numbing agent began to kick in. Upon her return her and her student started discussing colors, and mixed up some and didn't even consult me, which should have been a red flag. Keep in mind, I was finding this whole experience very intimidating because her student was filming, so it was not a very comfortable atmosphere to voice my concerns. I put it down to nerves and thought to trust her since she was an experienced professional. Once she was done, I saw my eyebrows and immediately felt regret. I didn't even look like me anymore. They looked nothing like how I draw on my brows... they were thick slugs plastered above my eyes. I will upload photos to show the difference. I told her that the color was too dark for me, but she told me they would lighten up. Worse yet, they DIDN'T follow my natural eyebrow shape. The tails are not in line, so she shaved them off. This is the most asinine thing to me, I go in to fill in my sparse eyebrows, but because they don't match up I need to pluck the few hairs I have left? At the end of my appointment, she asked when my follow up was, and I told her I didn't have one yet - she then told me I should have made that appointment at the same time as my initial appointment but HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? Isn't that the receptionist's job to ensure that the proper procedure is followed? She went to speak to her mom and came back to tell me that her mom would squeeze me in. When I went to the front desk, I spoke with her mom and she gave me a date 2.5 months out. It was a Monday, so I asked if there were any weekends available, to which her mom glared at me and sternly said "no, Erin is fitting you into her schedule." So I accepted the appointment. When I was directed to pay, she came around the counter to the ipad that was on there and SWIPED MY CARD FOR ME, then still stood there when the question came up about whether or not to add a tip, which felt very invasive. I did not want to tip, my experience with the mom and Erin was disconcerting and I wasn't immediately pleased with how my brows turned out, but I knew I had to come back and her mom was standing next to me so I tipped the most on the screen. The healing process was fine, but I never got used to my brows. She had put them in too dark, as I had feared. I am fair skinned, blonde eyelashes and eyebrows and dark blonde hair, and I had dark dark brown brows. A month before my follow up, I called to see whether they would even be able to do anything to lighten the brows up, a man answered and reassured me there were things Erin could do to correct the color. 2.5 months later, I was there for my second appointment. Erin told me to sit back immediately, as I was leaning back, I attempted to tell her about the color and where I would like some hairs added, but that I didn't want too much done, since I found my brows too shocking the first time. As I was speaking SHE rudely swatted my hand away from my eyebrows, told me that she knew what she was doing, she'll see what needs to be done, and that I didn't need to tell her, and then proceeded to start stabbing at my brows with the numbing needles. I didn't even know we had started. When she came back from letting the numbing agent start, I told her that I was leaving and when she asked me why, I began to cry because I was so overwhelmed by this terrible experience. Why does she think she can just tattoo someone's face without making sure they have been heard first?

I had my eyebrows done by Krystle. A big disappointment! The shape is off they are not even at all. Apparently everyone could see that they are not even but her. And the hair strokes peeled off. Which means, I paid so much money for her to ruin my face and have a shadow above my eyebrow. And when I asked Krystal if she could at least refund me part of this big expanse, which could help me to pay someone else who could maybe do something with my brows and won't leave me this way, she completely refused. I would never send any of my friends to this place. Now I'm dealing with trying to cover this ugly shadow, ink above my brows with make up. Before people calling themselves "artist" they should probably lean a thing or two.

Ignore my strays but this shape is amazing!
Marcella P.

Let me start by saying I have had my brows done by both Erin and Krystle. Both do a wonderful job. I went to Krystle last time for my color boost because it's near impossible to get in with Erin! For those people on here complaining that they don't like the work they had done- you all need to have realistic expectations and stop sullying a professional's good name. Yes, you may have paid hundreds of dollars for your service but do you even know how much time, money, care, etc. it takes to be a permanent makeup artist and business owner? Erin and her staff do excellent work, whether you believe it or not. Everything they did for you, products and time they spent on you, is not wasted. While you are fretting over some small imperfection, no one else sees what you see. It's probably a vast improvement from what you had before. You are the type that every business owner cringes over, THAT client which people wish would just disappear. I'm a perfectionist too and every little thing tends to bother me and there may be some small things I would tweak about my brows but all and all they are perfect enough that no one would ever notice. And guess what?! Brows aren't perfect naturally, how in the world do you expect them to be perfect with permanent makeup?! I have realistic expectations and no one ever sees the small things I freak out about. That's how I know it's ME and not them. There are so many factors, all of which Erin and her staff cover with you before and after your appointment, that can effect the outcome of your permanent makeup. Many of which have nothing to do with the person doing the job and everything to do with YOU. For anyone looking for a great group of permanent makeup artists, I highly recommend this place. I've had my brows touched up twice because I wanted to, not that it was that necessary. My results continue to be great and I get tons of compliments all the time! Rant over :)!

At my bridal trial, she spent 2 hours perfecting my look and seeking approval each step of the way. Even after we completed my makeup, she sat me back in the chair to find a better lip color. As a minimal daily makeup connoisseur, I found this attention to detail amazing. Her team was funny and social the entire trial, as well. The day of my wedding started off with a text from Patty the night before! So sweet to know your makeup team is thinking about you. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup, especially the airbrush foundation. Patty and her team held to the outlined schedule. We added on a touch up service, which was so helpful after being rained on in the afternoon. Patty herself stayed for the services and helped me fix my veil and hair for the evening, too. I cannot recommend Patty and her team enough!

I am Asian and doing makeups for Asian can be hard - e.g. hooded eyes. I tried several Asian makeup artists but for some reason, the results just look awkward to me. But thanks to them, I found Jen. Her previous work looked amazing and she had experience doing makeups for Asian brides, so I decided to give it a shot. The trial went great! She was very patient and listened to my suggestions. During our communication, she was also very responsive and professional. On the wedding day, Jen arrived on time and kept everything on schedule!

Do you ever see celebs and wonder how they have such smooth and dewy (perfect) looking skin? I'll…read moretell you one of their big secrets. Dermaplaning. A technique that entails having weeks' worth of dead skin cells scraped off of your face with a blade, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. And with the dead skin cells also goes those fine hairs that makeup always clings to -creating that pancake look. Book a dermaplane session, but kick it up a notch by scheduling a hydrating facial with it. It takes about an hour of your time, costs about $100, but what you're left with is ultra ultra silky and smooth skin that begs to be touched. It feels like satin. People, I'm telling you. It's a game changer. Karen is great. Super friendly and very professional. Her office space boasts easy to find parking and is clean and bright and very quiet. There are no negatives here. Book it.

I have had others do my brows and lashes but so far no one has done as good of a job as Karen. My brows are rather uneven, and i appreciate how she gets them looking pretty much alike. I have never been able to do that. Also, she will put you totally at ease while doing more personal type waxing. Her technique is fairly pain free too! I have pulled off bandaids that hurt more. The atmosphere here is calm and quiet. I much prefer the atmosphere here to Benefit which was noisier and where you got the hard sell to buy makeup after your services. If you are looking for a good brow expert or someone to put you at ease during waxing that , let's face it, can be a little embarassing, I recommend Karen. Other services include facials and spray tanning though I have not done those. The salon is next to Catch 35 at 25 South Washington. It is on the second floor.
