Shea is very professional. On the day of my appointment, I had anxiety and sent her a text saying that I was nervous. Instead of pressuring me to show up, Shea suggested that I take a couple days to become more comfortable if I needed to. It put me at ease.
Fast forward, after arriving to my appointment (which she was about 15 minutes late to, but it was situational as she forgot her phone) Shea spent a good amount of time (an hour maybe two) drawing the shape of my brows, measuring my bone structure and adjusting to what I did and didn't like. The appointment didn't feel rushed for a split second. Shea made me feel as though I was the most important client she has ever had. Very caring in her attention-to-detail. She was friendly but focused and very eager to make sure I understood what she was doing, why, and understanding how I felt about it all.
The first session looked incredible. Unfortunately, it faded almost completely within 5 days. That is because I didn't follow aftercare instructions, at all. Even though Shea told me repeatedly how to care for my brows. I didn't apply Vaseline after the second night. Maybe even the first. When I communicated my panic to her, she was responsive and attentive. She asked me questions, she asked for pictures, and she made me feel confident that she will get them touched up just right on my second session. Even though she had already been paid in full, it was very clear that she cared deeply about my satisfaction.
The second session was just like the first, except this time I followed aftercare instructions. Now, a few months later, my brows are still completely as full as they were when I left her office. The aftercare makes a huge difference in their longevity. If you are going to do this, with Shea or anyone, FOLLOW THE AFTERCARE instructions otherwise you're wasting your money.
Shea knows what she is doing. The way she bladed my brows is different than how I would have ever filled them in, but that's because I am not trained on how brows are supposed to lay and arch. I am glad she explained everything to me. Because brows are an art, you can't just shape the same form on everyone as everyone is shaped differently. She find the lines in your face and accentuates your eyes, cheekbones through brow contour.
Without a doubt, this is worth the money. Waking up everyday to full brows that you don't have to do anything to, plus it seems like it takes years off my appearance. And it literally looks so natural that even when I get in my 5x cosmetic mirror I can't tell a difference between her work and my natural brow contour.
Very grateful I went to Shea vs a different microblading artist. read more
