OK...I don't write reviews. Seriously. I'm way too busy. Check my history. I'm writing one now…read morebecause everyone needs to go see Angela. Let's face it, we all have things we don't like about ourselves and the good news is, we have the power to change many of those things. But, there's usually one particular thing that we hate and, while it sometimes creeps into our consciousness, it always affects our worldview in subtle and unconscious ways. For me, that was my brows. I could never get them straight. They always looked different from one another and I felt like they closed my eyes in, making them look small and sleepy. I ended up frustrated with every makeup solution I tried, and the time I spent trying to look awake, alert, and generally just "put together" only resulted in resignation and defeat. I wasn't going for a glam, overdone look and I never considered "permanent makeup" because I didn't want to look like a surprised clown all the time. (I mean on weekends, sure, but not every day...) I was also concerned that the impact of the aging process would just make me look sad in the way that abandoned buildings evoke a sense of loss. (In full disclosure, I'm not inclined to tattoo my face...you're not fooling anyone, "permanent makeup.") Once I went through menopause late last year, my brows stopped growing all together. That made me feel even worse about myself. I was desperate for a solution. Then, along came a spider...er....rather....an online article about "microblading." What a time to be alive! Just as "trailers" are the new "tiny homes" of this contemporary, euphemistic landscape in which we all find ourselves, "permanent makeup," not to be outdone, hired a PR firm. Welcome to the Microblade Revolution! OK...enough of this creative writing exercise, one of us needs to get back to work... While Microblading relies on the same foundational elements of the tattoo, it is vastly different and last only about a year at a time. I'll leave it to the experts (READ: Angela, not REDDIT) to explain the varieties and specifics to find what's right for you, but for the love of God, (if you embrace that sort of belief construct) do it now! Call her! Having beautiful, precise, face-framing brows is a transformational experience, webfriends, and for a host of reasons I don't have time to explain, you need a seasoned, reputable professional who's also an empathic, compassionate artist. There is certainly skill, expertise, technical proficiency, and experience involved but there's an equal measure of instinct, intuition, active listening, compassion, and visual artistry required to get this right. People stop me in airports and tell me my brows are amazing and ask where I had them done. I can't make this stuff up. (Well, I guess I can but I wouldn't.) At the end of the day, Angela's work is in a league of its own and part of the reason for that (I believe) is her art is delivered in service to others. For Angela, (I believe) It's less about the thing and more about how the thing makes you feel that matters most. That is a rare quality to find in a service practitioner. I can't wait to try her other services and hope you will too. (There's a "before" and "after" collage in my profile) Enjoy!

Today I got color there for the first time, and I am just oozing delight. Better than I expect, every time!

Confidence Boost in Every Visit!…read more  I can't say enough good things about Tara at Tigerbox Beauty. Her skills as an esthetician are truly exceptional, especially when it comes to facials and lash extensions. But what sets her apart is how she makes you feel during and after each visit.   From the moment you walk in, Tara creates a welcoming, relaxing, cool, funky atmosphere. (SEE ALSO: Spotify Playlists ) Her facial treatments are SO RELAXING, and she takes the time to explain what your skin needs at that moment. My skin always looks refreshed and radiant after her facials, with a noticeable improvement in texture and tone. It's cliché, but I literally glow. I am OBSESSED with her cleanser...   As for her lash extensions, they're nothing short of amazing!! Tara has a keen eye for what suits my face and mood. Sometimes, I need a little more zhuzh (know what I mean?), and she adds a little length and some volume to what I normally get. She applies the lashes with precision and care so they look natural! It's just a better version of me after each visit.   What I appreciate most about Tara is how sincere she is in truly wanting every woman to feel beautiful.  As an older woman (54), there are so many providers in different aspects of my life who are a lot younger, and I often feel dismissed or ignored, like I don't really matter, and nobody is all that interested in what I have to say because I'm "past my prime."  Tara makes me feel like I matter and what I'm doing there is important. It's like she's not selling stuff; she's taking care of you and making you understand how important it is to take care of yourself so you feel your worth. In a world where things can be ugly, a visit to Tigerbox is beautiful in so many ways. No matter what's happening in my day, just seeing my appointment in my calendar makes me happy.   Go see Tara now!!!

I want to flag that there doesn't seem to be a strong service recovery process in place here. My appointment was with a new stylist, Sierra, who was personable, but several important steps in styling my curly hair after the cut were missed. My sides were over-dried and left uneven, while my crown was still wet. Product application felt minimal, an afterthought, and I wasn't shown what was used during the styling process. After the appointment, I even needed to apply a deep conditioner at home because my hair felt dry from the excessive blow-drying. More broadly, there didn't seem to be much in the way of quality control or accountability to ensure customer satisfaction before leaving the chair. When I raised concerns, I was told the only option was to return to the same stylist for corrections. That approach doesn't feel workable when the issue involves multiple missed basics and a lack of trust in the initial service.
