    I came to Rashell because of all the amazing Yelp reviews and honestly thought there was no way I…read morecould go wrong with someone rated 5 stars across the board. Unfortunately, that just wasn't my experience. I went in for a brow lamination and shaping and explained that I wasn't into the super thick, trendy brow look. I wanted something more natural and balanced. After the lamination process, she started shaping my brows and when she showed me the results, I immediately noticed they looked uneven and lacked symmetry and thicker than I had wanted. I mentioned it to her and asked if she could correct them a bit, and while she did try, they still didn't look right to me afterward but I paid and left. I felt I could shape them better at home myself. The friend I had brought with me pointed out that they looked different from each other. Individually, they weren't terrible, but together, they just didn't look balanced or well-shaped as a pair. Don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting perfect symmetry because brows are naturally sisters, not twins, but for a $150 service from someone with such a strong reputation, I did expect more attention to overall shape and balance. What disappointed me the most was what happened over the next few days. My brow hairs stayed extremely dry, stiff, and brittle well past the normal timeframe. By day three, they still felt very dry and I started noticing actual breakage and kinking in the hairs. After researching it online, it really seemed like my brows were overprocessed. I reached out to her because I understand mistakes happen and everyone can have an off day. I simply wanted to let her know what was happening and hoped she would at least respond or offer some help. Unfortunately, I never heard back from her at all, and honestly that part spoke volumes to me. I truly don't understand how so many people had such amazing experiences while mine was so disappointing, but this was genuinely my experience and I wanted to share it honestly.

She was able to work really well with my requests and kept making sure I was feeling okay during everything. My lips are swollen and a bit darker about 2 hours after but Tina made sure to provide me with aftercare products and explained the whole healing process day by day! Pain level during 5/10, and after 4/10 with some tenderness, and swelling .‼ As for inside the place, it was clean and sterilized, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable seating and the window view with natural lighting was so cute.

With nine years of experience, she's an expert in microblading, ombré brows, and lip blush. More importantly, she doesn't just perform a procedure--she creates a personalized plan based on your unique features and goals. Tina takes the time to listen, carefully assess your face, and explain every recommendation she makes, so you'll understand exactly why a certain color, shape, or technique is best for you. Her professionalism and attention to detail make the entire experience comfortable and reassuring from consultation to aftercare. The results speak for themselves. Her clients consistently receive compliments from family, friends, and coworkers because the enhancements look so natural. She has an incredible ability to bring out someone's natural beauty without making it look overdone. If you're looking for someone you can completely trust with your brows or lips, Tina is the artist I would recommend without hesitation. You're not just getting a cosmetic procedure--you're putting yourself in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about helping you look and feel your best.

    TLDR = would recommend everyone to come to Kelly. She made my experience fun - felt welcome and…read moreengaged in the process. My eyebrows have never been better. Exterior = 5/5 Located near the train station, it's on the corner of a street. There is parking (if you are lucky) inside but only a few spots, so most likely go for street parking but wasn't hard to find in front of the location. Interior = 5/5 It was bustling, they have a salon that had customers coming and going. I came specifically for the microblading - so Kelly brought me over to a room on the right that was private which I appreciated since after you close the door, it muffles the sounds of all the activity outside. Service = 5/5 Everyone I encountered were super kind and welcoming. Kelly is blowing up and doing all these cool events with her team with Gold House and still managing weddings all over. Yet, she is still so humble and takes her time to chat and learn more about the customer. I was super nervous to get microblading but she walked me through the process, helped me feel comfortable with the results we were planning, and would check in on me frequently through the whole thing. I felt like I had a say in the process and honestly that a friend was doing my brows - it was casual, relaxed, and chill. Order = 5/5 I got the combo brows which is microblading with powder. I will never not get this. I had patchy brows (over plucking, scarring, yikes) that I was super self conscious of growing up and was having to fill them in. Since getting these done - I barely have had to fill in, maybe a slight touch up if I have an event or need to do some make up. If you like bare faced and natural looks, this was game changing. I'm super not familiar with make up or skilled at it - enough to be dangerous, and this helped me so much. I feel more confident and happier with my brows. Only slight upkeep is needed to trim! I have already gotten my touch up from the initial appointment, and you only need to go maybe every year or so after to touch up. Overall = 5/5 Great investment that I kick myself for not having done sooner. But honestly, glad I waited till I found Kelly. I tried brow lamination, and it wasn't for me. Her microblading skills are top notch and give a very natural look which I wanted. I found my brow girl and never going back. Hint = check her Instagram if you are indecisive, I saw them all and I knew she was the one. My photo is on there too!

When they first opened, everyone was welcoming, friendly, and professional. Now, the staff often seem rude and unfriendly. They spend a lot of time chatting with each other while customers are waiting, which makes appointments take longer than necessary. Their responses to customers can come across as dismissive and unprofessional, making you feel like you're inconveniencing them just by asking a question. Another downside is that they don't allow customers to use the restroom, which is frustrating, especially if you've been waiting for a while. The only reason I've continued coming back is because their eyebrow threading prices are very reasonable. However, I've realized that I'd rather pay a little more somewhere else and receive excellent customer service. A good price doesn't make up for consistently poor treatment. After being a loyal customer for years, it's disappointing to say that I won't be returning. I hope management takes customer service more seriously because kindness and professionalism go a long way.

When I went in, I told her I had no specific way I like my eyebrows to look because I filled them in differently everyday. She decided on an eyebrow face that definitely brightens up and shapes my face well! Also, because the tools she uses are so sharp, the pain was nonexistent! I actually dozed off a few times during my appointment because her touch is so gentle too.

I originally wanted microblading and thought my skin would take to it but I lean towards oily skin and the results were almost non-existent after healing. I had a moment of worry in which I texted Tram a few times and she was always responsive and patient with me. I really value that quality, when a person can look past another persons stress & just make the situation all better. She assured me that at our follow up/touch up appointment she would instead do powdered brows and that it would "stick" this time around. She was right! She's worth every penny, she is a true artist and I've look extensively for microbladers in my area. I look forward to coming back to my retouch appointment in 1 year and I thank you Tram for your wonderful service.
