Five stars isn't enough! I recently got permanent makeup on my brows by Niki (the trainer) and Stephanie (the apprentice), and they are an absolute dream team. They carefully mapped everything out to perfection and hand-selected the perfect color for me. I had no idea how much "color math" and science goes into the process, but their expertise blew me away. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they also made the entire experience so easy and fun. If you're nervous about the pain, don't be--it was a 2-3 tops. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Niki was AMAZING. I had some stuff come up personally and needed to reschedule and she was so understanding and sweet while we figured out a best time that would work. She is so communicative through the whole process which was helpful since I never had my eyebrows microbladed before. She did a tremendous job shaping my eyebrows. I would 100% recommend her for microblading! read more

After years of no eyebrows due to medical reasons, I recently had the privilege to have my eyebrows bladed by Cherie at Aboutface...I say privilege because it was. Cherie has the ability to tailor the procedures specifically to your face and takes pride in every stroke she makes. If it doesn't meet her expectations, she will work tirelessly until it does. If you have ever thought about having your eyebrows micro bladed but are hesitant, run don't walk to Cherie at Aboutface...you won't be disappointed. RS read more

I thought about getting my eyebrows microbladed but I've been really scared because it's in my face, I was not sure how much it will hurt, and I didn't know if I was committed enough to the idea yet. Beginning of this year, I finally decided this is the year for one particular reason: efficiency. I spend too much time trying to make my brows look nice on a daily basis that it was getting a little borderline ridiculous. I wanted to get ready in less than an hour again but I've overplucked my eyebrows while in high school and throughout college that they've become sparse and won't grow back like normal so I suffer the consequence of fixing them to look fuller on a daily basis. Anyway, I did my research, read reviews, and ended up having a consultation with Nikki. First of all, what a nice person Nikki is! She explained everything to me about the process, answered my questions no matter how ridiculous (and trust me, I had some that qualified under this), and have been keeping an eye on my still healing brows. She has returned my calls and texts almost immediately unless she was busy when I had questions regarding my newly done brows. I've spent 3 appointments with her because my skin healed in a weird way and have rejected pigments but Nikki is committed to giving me that perfect brow I've dreamed of having which is why I highly recommend her to anyone considering microblading or other permanent make-up procedures. We've gone from microblading and shading to nanoblading and this time, after she's made adjustments with the needle size and used a different method, it looks like my skin is retaining the pigments! As far as pain levels, they varied for me. The second appointment, my pain level decreased to about a 4 but went up again on the 3rd to maybe a 6. Honestly, the pain is very manageable and she does apply the topical 2-3 times or as you need it. Aside from my microblading, she most recently did my eyelashes and wow! I'm so amazed with the differences between my normal with mascara lashes and these extensions. Yet another improvement in life efficiency as I will no longer have to apply mascara in the morning and no more dark spots from mascara falling out and transferring to my lower lids by the afternoon. I've had this issue due to my excessively oily skin and have struggled having to constantly find that mascara which I no longer have to be in search for! I'm so happy to have found About Face & Body Boutique. It's charming inside, clean, and Nikki is such a friendly, warm, and overall wonderful person. read more

About Face - Nanobrows; 2nd day following the procedure. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

When you elect to get a semi-permanent procedure done on your face, you want it to be perfect. And Niki is a true perfectionist! I first got my eyebrows microbladed by Niki 2 years ago. I had no idea what to expect, and she was patient with me as I showed her photos of microbladed brows that I liked. We looked at the photos together and discussed shape, arch, and color. I felt at ease and soon a felt a flurry of ticklish activity on my face, as Niki designed my new brows. The procedure itself is mostly comfortable - at times (near the beginning of my brow, for instance) I felt practically nothing. However, as she approached the tail end of my brow I did find it to be a 3-5 on my personal pain scale. However, Niki works quickly and within a couple of minutes, the worst of the pain is over. The numbing cream certainly takes the edge off, and you'll be most comfortable if you abstain from alcohol and aspirin for several days prior to your appt. And take it from me: do NOT schedule your appt during "that time" of the month, as pain is heightened. Your initial visit includes a touch-up several weeks later, where you discover what the final brows will really look like. Use this appointment to point out any area that you feel needs to be more pronounced! I love that Niki sends you home with a small vial of Hustle Butter, a gentle but super-moisturizing balm which I swear has kept my healing process to a minimum. I'm only red for one day, and have experienced no scabbing! I recently went in for a touch-up 2 years later though I truly could have waited 6-12 more months. The pigment was barely fading and only in a few spots, and this is following a summer of swimming in the salty sea daily for 3 months. Despite what you may hear from ladies who swear by monthly tinting, microblading lasts! And how convenient that you get it done and won't have to mess with your brows for 2 years. Occasionally, when I want to define them a bit more for a night out I use my Anastasia brow pencil (but I promise it's not necessary). I get so many compliments on my brows and that's huge coming from a 90s skinny brow victim! Niki stands by her work and if you have any issues, she will make it right. read more

Moved to STL one year ago and desperately need a lash refill. I found this gem on yelp. The reviews were good so I made an appointment with Almond. No need to look any further! She is fast and knowledgeable and we laugh a lot during my time on the table. She has helped me thru a few of my lash "issues" making suggestions and trying different combinations. Recently she moved me to volume lashes and I couldn't be happier. I get compliments all the time. If you are looking for a lash artist I definitely recommend Almond AND this boutique!! read more

Almond is the best lash stylist in St. Louis. I've been going to her for over 5 years and have never been disappointed. She's detailed oriented, thoughtful, and passionate about what she does. read more

This was my second visit for lash extensions. Both times were a lovely experience, with a GREAT set of lashes. Almond was my lash tech both times and both results were a beautiful set. The sets last about 2-3 weeks, as expected, with no itching or sticking at all. I was extremely pleased with the result and experience, I definitely plan to return. read more

Got my lashes done with almond at the manchester location! lashes look great, and she was a lot of fun to talk to, so the time went by really quick. clean and cute place :) read more

First time getting eyelash extensions and I'm so happy I chose About Face! Niki is awesome! She made me feel completely at ease. And answered all my 'newbie' questions, never made me feel intimidated. The whole process was so much faster than I expected. The end result, beautiful long lashes. Being my first time, I didn't know what to expect as far as how long they would last or how fast they'd come out. I use eye drops daily for dry eyes & haven't had any issues. (I did tell Niki all this prior!) Two weeks later & they still look amazing. I get so many compliments on my lashes. I went on vacation & my hubby surprised me w/a spa day. The gal that did my facial even told me how good they looked. Said she (Niki) does really good work & I should stay with her. That's something you definitely want to hear. Not the usual catty remark on how they would have done this or that instead. Nothing but compliments! read more

Niki gave me a wonderful experience teaching me microblading, I plan to continue my education with her learning a few more things. She was organized, efficient and knowledgeable. Totally worth the investment read more

I love this place! I've been going to Almond for lash extensions for the last few months and have been very happy. She does a fantastic job and I always enjoy my appointments with her. And I get tons of compliments on my lashes! She also did my brows a couple of weeks ago--shaping and tinting--and I've never received so many compliments on them before. I love how they look! I also just saw Nikki for the first time yesterday to have my permanent eyeliner that was placed at another establishment about six months ago corrected. Let me tell you what a HUGE difference my experience was with Nikki vs. the other place, which I won't name. Nikki took the time to ask me what I wanted before she started, kept me updated with what she was doing throughout the process, would continually stop to assess her work, and would often check on me to assess my pain. NONE of that happened with the last person and the quality of her work showed. I left yesterday already seeing a major improvement. I tell everyone I get a chance to go to About Face. read more

I love my eyelashes SO MUCH. I feel so much more confident and the customer service is amazing. I love the entire experience and the area is beautiful. read more

Where do I start?! I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Niki. I had been wanting to get my eyebrows microbladed but was unsure about doing something so permanent. She made me feel at ease while there, and she was very thorough with her work. She talked me through everything so I knew exactly what was going on at all times. This was my first time ever doing something like this, and I don't regret it one bit. I was also pleased with how clean and cute her place was. Once I saw the decor and how trendy everything was, I was confident Niki was going to do a fabulous job. I was right! What a treat to give myself on Valentine's Day! I would highly recommend microblading by Niki to anyone who is considering it. You won't be disappointed! read more

Had my upper eyeliner done here. Nikki is a very professional and nice artist. Highly recommended her service.

I've been getting my lashes done from Niki for a few months and she's THE BEST. I've had other lash experiences from other people that were neutral at best...Niki knows what she's doing and takes time to figure out what kind of look her clients are going for. She's flexible with scheduling and just moved into a pretty, new space. I can't imagine finding a better lash artist. On top of that, she's just a genuine and cool person. read more

This is the best eye lash place I've ever been! Almond is amazing and I started getting my lashes done in LA and she blows them and the stl competition out of the water! So sweet and the shop is so cozy, clean and welcoming! read more

I have been getting my lashes done for a few years now and I am very paranoid about how they look and feel. I went to Almond for a full set of volume lashes and I am beyond thrilled with her work!! She was extremely professional and very precise in her work. They were EXACTLY what I wanted! I'm seriously obsessed with these lashes! If you are trying to find a place to get your lashes done in the St. Louis area this is the place to go! I can't wait to go back, I'm so glad I found such talented lash experts in St. Louis! read more

Treat yourself to the BEST cosmetic services in St. Louis. The photos are amazing, but they don't do the real deal, up close in personal, look justice. There's no way you'll walk away with nothing less than 100% satisfaction. But the pain they say. What pain? I literally fell asleep while I was being tattooed. Now if that doesn't explain comfort, I'm not sure what else can. So stop thinking about it, and schedule an appointment!!! read more
