Got them done less than a year ago by Amanda at Lena Beauty My eyebrows are a product of a employee who felt comfortable enough to tattoo my face with a phone up to her ear booking the stores appointments the whole time.

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart because I was so excited to get my eyebrows microbladed…read more Anna is who did them. ​The procedure itself went fine. She did worry me when she said tons of times my eyebrows are sisters not twins I was sent home with aftercare instructions, which I followed meticulously because I was invested in getting a great result. However, as my eyebrows went through the healing process, I noticed all the pigment scabbing off and disappearing. By the time they were fully healed, there was not a single hair stroke left. ​I reached out to the artist to let her know what happened. Her only solution was to offer the complimentary touch-up session. I explained that this wasn't a case of a few strokes fading; the entire procedure had failed, and I felt that putting my skin through it again would likely lead to the same result. ​When it became clear a touch-up was not a viable solution for me, I asked about a refund. I was told that she does not offer refunds for this service. I am now out $, the time and discomfort of the procedure and healing, with literally no results to show for it. While I understand policies, for a service that failed this completely, I believe an exception should have been made. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.

This experience was life changing for me. I am not a makeup gal. I am a middle aged single mom and…read morea nurse. I don't think much about feeling beautiful. I focus on doing what has to be done in the moment and have never had nice eyebrows. I did not have the time to prioritize them. Anna gave me the confidence to smile and feel beautiful. I really have noticed a difference in how confident I feel each day when I deal with the public. Anna is an artist. My eyebrows have never been even or full. I am so grateful for the confidence her artistry has given me. ​If you are on the fence, I would implore you to meet with her and see what she can do for you.

I'd searched thru the microblading options in the Des Moines area and I kept coming back to her page. Her catalog of work on social media was the number one reason I reached out to Kristine and I was impressed with how quickly she responded and her flexibility in making my appointment. She reached out to me beforehand to ask me some health questions that seemed very standard for a basic procedure like this and asked if I had any concerns or if I wanted to do a skin test ahead of time to check for any adverse reactions... I wasn't too worried and declined the additional skin test. When I arrived at my appointment I noticed everything in her office was clean/ sanitized and of course we wore out COVID face masks throughout the duration of the appointment. In mapping my eyebrow I noticed she was very thorough and allowed me to be collaborative on my preferred shape and size of my eyebrows. The entire appointment took less time than I anticipated but it never felt rushed and I know she took care to make sure that my eyebrows were perfectly symmetrical. When she showed me her progress along the way I was soo completely happy with my decision to choose her to do my eyebrows!! Looking forward to going in for my touch up in a few weeks and I'll post an update!! THANK YOU KRISTINE!!! You did such an awesome job!!

I have received many compliments from family, friends, and strangers regarding my brows. I have recommended her to people who've also had their brows microbladed but weren't satisfied with their previous artist - to reach out to Kristine. She's wonderful at her job, always making sure you're comfortable and understand every step she's going through during the process. You're aware of what's going on and ensured the end results are 100% your decision and to your complete satisfaction. Kristine takes the time to discuss what you're looking for and makes you feel completely confident booking with her, the moment she greets you at your appointment. She answered any questions I had and also double checked that everything is done, with you in control of the completed look. Her bubbly and easy to talk to personality, makes the process fly by and she keeps in touch, to ensure after the procedure you're still satisfied with the results and/or if you need a touch up. I can't wait to get a retouch of my amazing brows, thanks to Kristine!

It really is quality for an insanely good price. Also, I was very worried about getting a botched sprout and I did a lot of research.

It's very apparent that Kristy has put a lot of time into learning and perfecting her craft thank you so much especially for my eyebrows. Those are my favorite out of all three services I received.

To the point where I moved two hours away but would still drive two hours every two weeks to see her to get my lashes filled, but I finally made the tough decision to find a new lash tech in the area. After experimenting with multiple new lash techs around the Des Moines area (lots of research, reading reviews, paying for AND sitting through multiple removals and new sets...), I found Amy at Stiletto Brows & Lashes and fell in LOVE with my lashes. She listened to all my concerns and did my lashes exactly how I envisioned plus more. She took her time to ensure they were done precisely and correctly. She even gave me suggestions on how to grow my natural lashes and to care for my lashes. Highly recommend all to check out Stiletto!

However, I wasn't asked if I wanted my toenails clipped, which I did want. When I mentioned it, instead of clipping them, they were quickly filed, and it felt very rushed with little attention to detail. When it came time to apply the polish, I asked for white. The application was very messy, with polish getting onto my cuticles, and once my toes came out of the UV lamp, the polish was visibly bumpy. I was told it was due to my toenails, but I explained that my nails are not naturally like that it was the polish. More polish was added, but the issue remained, so I said again that I wasn't happy with how it looked. At that point, the polish was removed and another staff member stepped in, but unfortunately, the service still felt rushed. There were still visible bumps, and I didn't feel like proper care or time was being taken. By then, I just wanted to leave. Overall, I didn't feel heard or understood during the service, and it felt like they were more focused on finishing quickly than providing quality work. This was disappointing, especially since this is a paid service and I expected better attention to detail.
