I take my yelping very seriously not just writing reviews, but reading peoples reviews when I'm…read moretrying new businesses or services. As someone who's been doing micro blading for about six years now, I've had fantastic experiences, and unfortunately a few not so great. If you know you know How important and stressful it can be to find someone who can not only microblade you and make it look good, but who just understands what you need. Unfortunately not only do I have really oily skin, but I also have skin that seems to sometimes want to reject the pigment And not really retain it very well.
Long story short, my previous microblader moved and for the past year I've been very unsuccessful in finding someone new that I was happy with.
After a lot of research and reading my fellow Yelper's reviews, I made an appointment with Golnaz, as not only did she have reasonable prices, but her reviews not just on Yelp but other platforms were extremely positive. After reaching out to her right off the bat I felt really good as she was so sweet and patient with explaining different options to me, and really listening to my history about micro blading and understanding what I needed. I first saw her at the end of November 2023. The time and precision and attention to detail that I experienced with her immediately put me at ease and throughout the entire process she would often give me the mirror and have me look and give input which I absolutely loved. Not only that, but the pricing that she quoted me was such a good deal and as a new and first time client, I ended up getting a facial that day as well! Normally, after I get my eyebrows micro bladed I'm in a good amount of pain and get a headache, but I felt so good that I was able to get a facial, which by the way felt amazing and made my skin feel amazing as well!
Since then, I have seen her two more times, one for a touchup, and one as recently as yesterday. As I mentioned, unfortunately my skin does not retain pigment very well so with micro blading or any type of makeup tattooing, I do need to get touchups more often. since this time my brows had not retained the color more so than usual and had faded so quickly after the touchup, Golnaz was gracious enough to offer to do another touchup complementary and see if there was a different strategy she could try to avoid the color fading so quickly.
One might think that if someone is offering a complementary service, they would rush and not take as much time as opposed to if they were getting paid, but not only was that not true and she took almost 2 hours, she even tried and included a different method in addition to the micro blading to help ensure they would not fade as much. As usual, she had me involved throughout the entire process and seemed to welcome and encourage me to speak up and let her know if there were any spots that I felt still needed to be filled in or even went to the color after she had even started.
I know this review seems like an essay, but I really really do think it's important to emphasize businesses especially those who are single person small businesses so that potential customers can really get a sense of the type of person they are going to be dealing with.
I feel so comfortable with Golnaz and the three times I've been there I feel like I've been hanging out with a friend as she and I chat through the procedures making me forget that my brows are getting sliced into and before I know it, she is done! She does beautiful brows and as I said prioritizes her client happiness and wants to ensure that her clients leave feeling satisfied and part of the process.
I will update with pictures once my brows heal, so stay tuned!! if someone who's never had micro blading done please know that it is extremely important to find someone who you feel comfortable with not only with their work, but just themselves and their personality with you in general. You will not go wrong with her in either category. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Golnaz!!
