There was a scheduling issue with my appointment when I arrived, where I had booked with Tram but…read moreshe was already attending to another customer. She was able to offer a solution to still accommodate my appointment without inconveniencing the other customer she was mid-lash application with or me. My service was great! Tram didn't make me feel rushed, even given the circumstances, and explained everything super clearly. I walked out of there very happy with the results and Tram even included a free add on service for the scheduling snafu. Definitely will be back. Go ahead and book your services here without hesitation!

Quick Review - Go to Lash Pilot for a life changing eyebrow upgrade! Best nanoblading result I…read morecould ever imagine. Long Review - I over plucked my eyebrows in the early 2000s and no matter what I tried they would not grow back. I spent the last 20 years of my life with asymmetrical, over plucked eyebrows and I am embarrassed to admit how much this bothered me. I finally decided it was time to take back my brows. Thank Goodness it was Tram and Kim at Lash Pilot who would help me realize my brows' full potential! Tram is meticulous, thoughtful and LISTENS! Kim is a precision queen. She is gentle and methodical. Together, Tram and Kim made me feel so comfortable and confident. They want what YOU WANT! I could not give higher praise to Tram and Kim for an excellent nanoblading experience and result!

Shaila is amazing! I'm very happy with my brows! She is very easy to talk to and extremely…read moresupportive! Her brow studio is near Literati Cafe which was perfect for a post brow snack :) I liked that I was able to make an appointment through her website. It's always a relief to find a talented brow artist!!

Update: I would like to respond to Shaila's response. Due to the word limit, I had to delete my…read moreoriginal review in order to respond to her claims. I screenshot pictures of my original review and added the pictures to this review for the viewers context. (See below) Shaila, It clearly states on your website that there is a 5 min grace period after the appointment. This is LA for goodness sake. However, I'm all about respecting people's time. Anytime that I was late it was within a few minutes of my actual appointment and I always apologized with grace. I want to make clear that Shaila never once expressed discomfort or annoyance at my tardiness. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I always apologized immediately upon walking into the appointment if I was a few minutes late, and she would act super chill and reassure me that all was good. So I never once thought that this would be a concern, especially one leading her to make such a drastic move like blocking me as a client, especially with no warning! Shaila, people cannot read minds. You cannot on one hand reassure me through your words that anytime I was late that it was ok and nothing to worry about, and then turn around and just ghost me without explanation. That makes no sense, and especially from a business/leadership standpoint, just shows that you have very poor communication, business and interpersonal skills. Everyone deserves at least one chance to correct a behavior if it's bothering someone, especially one that they aren't even made aware of. The fact that you couldn't even express your discomfort, and at the very least give me a warning, so that I could correct a problem that I wasn't even aware was a problem, is seriously concerning and is more of a testament to your character instead of mine. I'm going to safely assume that you blocked me in your booking system a month ago after my last appointment. So all of this time you didn't feel the need to give me a heads up that you would no longer take me as a client, and I don't think that you ever had plans on saying anything. Hence why my messages were getting ignored. So what was your plan? To just leave me hanging in silence and hope that I magically read your mind? What if I would have naively showed up at your studio to get in contact with you thinking that my messages weren't going through because your booking system was broke? Can you imagine how awkward that would have been?! All of this chaos could have simply been avoided if you would have put on your big girl pants and spoke up if something was bothering you. Lastly, the subliminals were for me. I would respect you more if you stood on business and not cower from your petty choice. If you were bold enough to block me with no explanation, ignore my messages, and post subs directly after I message you after instagram showed that you opened my message, then I expect for you to stand 10 toes down on your decision and own it. All the best to you, Ashley

I don't know how I went from swearing that I will never have my brows done to having the most…read morebeautiful and natural looking set of eyebrows. Actually - I do know - it was Monika's professionalism, expertise and years of training in prestigious salons. The healing process was a breeze and I couldn't be happier. And just like that I had my lips tinted, upper lid eyeliner and eyebrows done. I've been Monika's client for years now and refuse to go anywhere else. I love the vibe and relaxed atmosphere. If you are still in doubt or debating having perm make up done- look no further and put your full trust in her. Highly highly recommend !

I didn't think I was ever going to do eyebrow tattoo, but I did. It's called "ombre" tattoo…read moreeyebrows. It looks like you just put some powder to darken the shade of your eyebrows. I have to say that I am very happy with it. It's light to dark shading looks very natural. People asked me if I was afraid that it might turn green eventually. It might or might not. It really depends on how you take care of yourself, activities, skin type, etc. You need sunscreen on your face so why not include your eyebrows. Also, one single "ombre' powder session with good quality pigments will last 2-3 years. Just like any other cosmetic procedure, there is some down time, like not washing your eyebrows with water for 1-week. After that, keep it moisturized and sunscreen is necessary when out in the sun. It's only been 1 month and I am still happy with the way it looks in the morning.
