After my first session. There was never an awkward phase!
JJ B.

I did extensive research before choosing Genesys and I'm so glad I did! She clearly explains every step of the process, truly listens to what her clients want, and has an amazing eye for detail. I felt completely comfortable during the process. My brows looked great immediately too. She also gave me a one-pager to take home which detailed what to expect during the healing process - it was very on point. I naturally have relatively full eyebrows but they were uneven and had several empty patches. Not anymore! I chose Genesys because her technique had such natural results for all of her clients, but my brows came out even better than I had hoped! I can truly wake up with no make up now.

Healed brows. No makeup.

My brows have completely changed my face and my life, friends. Let me tell you that if you were hesitant at all in the past about getting your brows done, put down your phone, email Genesys, and prepare to have your life changed. This is the new you. Let me start by saying that Genesys is one of the most professional, mature, competent and thorough beauty professionals I have ever worked with. Microblading is a huge investment, and she puts you at ease right from the start. You'll start by locking down an initial appointment with $100 which will go to the cost of your first service. When you arrive, Genesys will warmly greet you and explain the microblading process in precise detail and answer any questions you have. The John Francis Spa where she is located is a lovely, clean place. The staff there are great and Genesys' work area is super cute and clean as well. She'll explain immediate aftercare, as well as what you can expect throughout the healing process. It will be about an hour before any microblading is done in your first appointment because Genesys is very deliberate and precise when mapping out how your brows will look. She is insanely skilled and accurate. She'll show you the shape and have you approve before she gets started blading. Now the actual microblading is nothing to be fearful of. Genesys makes sure to apply numbing ointments/sprays and check in on you throughout. This part of the appointment can last anywhere from 45mins to an hour. So relax, keep your eyes closed, and dream of your new, fierce brows. Start to finish of your first appointment is about 2 to 2.5 hours. I came back for my touch up appointment 6 weeks later. Then, I loved my brows so much and wanted them even darker and bolder that I requested a third touch up, and now I wake up every morning with the brows of my dreams. Genesys is an artist. I would not trust anyone else with my face. Her instincts for what shape is good for what face are spot on. She corrected the shape of mine, made them even, fixed their arches, and now I look at old photos wondering why the heck I waited so long to get my flat caterpillars fixed. I have recommended friends and coworkers to Genesys and have gotten dozens of compliments on my brows since getting them done. No more pencils or Anastasia brow kits! I literally wake up with no make up every day and I can't recommend Genesys enough. Ten stars!

This is right before my appointment with Genesys. My old brow routine was to use a brow pencil.
Fatima G.

I have to say this review is long long over due. Genesys is amazing at what she does! Her over view of the appointment and after care instructions left me confident that I was being taken care of 6 years previous I had my eyebrow micro-bladed and they were nothing like what Genesys blessed me with. She was kind and informative about what my after care should be for my oily skin. She is such a talented woman and I could not be happier with my new brows. Can't wait for my touch up.

I'd been thinking about getting microblading done for years because I love a good brow but sadly was born with pretty much no brow at all, and I was getting sooo tired of filling them in and dyeing them all the time. That said, I still wasn't desperate enough that I'd go to someone who I wasn't 100% sure wouldn't do a janky job, and Genesys was the first person I found whose entire portfolio looked super clean and natural. I was a little nervous still, cause it's my face, but she talked me through the whole process and I trusted her taste so I just let her do her thing, and I LOVE my eyebrows now. Follow the care instructions and they'll heal beautifully. I'll absolutely be coming back for a touch up once they start to fade because I've already gotten so used to having zero maintenance required.

A couple months after annual touch-up

If you are as lazy as I am and WILL NOT wake up early to fill in your brows. Microblade is the way to go!! A little more than a year ago, my coworker had gone to Genesys for microblading. I loved how her brows turned out; therefore, I did a little research of my own and decided to reach out and email her a photo of my brows since they were tattooed. The tattoo was pretty much faded but I was not sure if that would affect the microblade process. Genesys had assured me that it would be fine but I could possibly still see the tattoo shade under the microblade like I had drew/fill my brows, which I was totally fine with. I set up an appointment and it was very smooth! She had explained everything very clearly/professionally and made sure I loved how my brows looked before beginning the microblade process. The whole process, I believe took about 2.5 hours or so. My brows were already a bit f***ed up from the first time I tattooed it and Genesys had done everything in her arsenal to even it out. But as you know, brows are supposed to be sisters and not twins! I loved how my brows came out so I went back a few months ago for my annual touch-up. I LOVE IT and I will for sure go for another touch-up next year! THANK YOU GENESYS! I highly recommend!

Wake up with no makeup

Gen is just the sweetest gal! I had her work on my mom's eyebrows (FYI, my she had no brows, they were sparse and light). She did an amazing job, and also explained the embroidering process thoroughly before starting. After she was done she gave clear instructions on how to take care of them so they can heal effectively. Before Gen starts she would ask how you would like your brows to look, and for my mom she never had brows so she was able to freestyle to see what would look suitable for my mom and it turned out amazing. For my mom's first session, she did not want it too dark because she was not used to seeing herself with brows, so Gen did a light brown color for the first session and for the second session, my mom actually wanted it a tad darker and she did it! I recommended Gen to my friends and they were very satisfied with their results. Gen will take care of you!

Kim L.

I was referred to Genesys by a friend who's brows I admired. I got a prompt response and scheduled my appointment. I couldn't be more pleased with what she did as I practically had no brows. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable right from the get go, so down to earth, genuinely nice and easy to talk to. I've gotten many compliments and have referred them to Genesys, she's AWESOME and a master at her craft. It has definitely shortened my makeup time considerably. A very happy/satisfied customer, I highly recommend her.

Eyebrows

I had them done at another place and they turned red after a couple of years. Went twice to this place. The first fill with a lighter brown color. On the second try I asked for a darker brown. This is after 2 months how they look.

From the warm smile greeting you at the front desk, to the simplistic white/marble decor, to the spa-like smells - Dermaplus truly sets the tone for a relaxing afternoon. I get a Signature + Aquadermabrasion facial from Elaine. She is incredibly attentive and skilled! She always manages to get even the toughest extractions on my skin. I also love the massages she gives during the facial session. It completes the experience and makes it feel even more relaxing. Along with regular facials, I have been using Dermaplus' products which are clean and custom blended. I trust Dermaplus' quality and know I am putting top ingredients on my skin. I highly recommend purchasing their products. All in all, Dermaplus is an amazing place to get your facial, and enjoy quality products for your skin.

Plus, she doesn't have any of that pretentiousness you sometimes get at these places; it's just easy, down-to-earth conversation. She was so sweet during my first treatment and even gave me a little discount, which was an awesome bonus. I will definitely be back!
