I'm super…read moredisappointed, But that being said, she deletes her Google and yelp reviews so it's hard to do accurate research. I am very saddened that I wasted over $1000 on this, when I was left with absolutely nothing that I wanted and nothing even remotely close to what she portrays on her social media. While it has been a year now I feel safe sharing an updated photo of how awful things turned out, despite me following instructions to a T.

I can not say enough wonderful things in this one review, to even begin to represent all the praise…read morethat is rightfully due to Morgan Gibson, owner of Blades & Bevels!! First I want to comment on her customer friendly website, which is very easy to navigate thru, and packed full of education and information! You could not leave her website and feel uninformed, it is beyond adequate about procedures, cost, who may or may not be a good candidate for her services! It is one of the best I have ever been on, for a company that offers professional services! That being said, I booked my apt online and was able to get in within ten days! Again all the info that you would ever need is on her website with do's and dont's prior to your apt, for a successful procedure! I have wanted to have permanent makeup on my eyebrows for awhile, to say I was anxious is an understatement! With the amazing reviews and pictures of her work, along with individuals I personally know that had been very pleased with her work, is what gave me the courage to book this apt. At my first meeting with Morgan, she is so calm, so professional, so full of knowledge and education within her practice, you can't but feel safe and comfortable in her hands! I honestly answered majority of her questions about what I wanted with, You decide, I feel very confident in your recommendations!!! With Morgan's knowledge and talent, she knew far better than I what would look best! Everything about her studio was beautiful, super clean, organized, professional and calming! By the time she said we were ready to start, I was so relaxed and confident with her, I literally fell asleep during the process! To the point she had to wake me more than once, for moving in my sleep. The final time she did so, was to say we were finished, and she was handing me a mirror. My first thought was, oh my gosh, she has taken me back 15 years (so near to how my brows used to look, only better!) I can't say my whole face looked that much younger, oh how I wish, but my brows definitely were much more youthful and beautiful! I have to say at this point, I am 59 yrs old, I state this because of a review left on here warning anyone over 50 should beware of getting services by Morgan! That warning I wholeheartedly disagree with! When you leave her studio you are fully equipped with product, and written material on how to care for your brows and fully what to expect day by day! There were no surprises whatsoever, a few times I looked back over the info and even pictures she supplied preparing you on what to expect, I had not one question for it is ALL given to you! I have just completed my perfecting session a few days ago, and I can't wait for my whole healing process to be finished. For I want to see the final full beautiful brows I know I have now!! I can not begin to fully describe the level of professionalism Morgan has, her amazing natural talents, the superior skill in her trade, and top notch customer service with remarkable bedside manner!! I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone, no matter your age! If someone states they were not handed a mirror, or had questions unanswered, I find that very very hard to believe actually! Possibly they are not recalling all the details accurately, idk. For myself, I can not comprehend any of this happening truthfully, it is so far off from any of the experiences I have had with her.

Thankfully, the VSC staff were honest with me and did not just take my money for a transplant procedure that would likely have failed. Afterwards, I researched Facial Micropigmentation (FMP), a variant of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), and I found Nico, who did an amazing job on my face. I've attached some photos to show the work he did. I am very pleased with the results; I finally have the bearded look I've been wanting for years!!! I cannot say enough good things about Nico's work. He is a credit to his profession, and I highly recommend his services!

I have sensitive skin but I had very little discomfort with Lynn in charge. After a year, I still love waking up and looking in the mirror and not seeing that totally washed-out look.
