I spent almost a year thinking about SMP before finally deciding to book a consultation. After…read moredoing some research, I chose SMP Ink in Danville due to their excellent reviews and proximity to my home. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease. Their facility was incredibly clean and well-maintained. There was a classroom in the back and a few procedure rooms in the front. Everything indicated that they were knowledgeable and professional. After speaking with Rodger and Jennelle, I decided to go ahead. The results were amazing! Jennelle is incredibly talented and personable, and it felt like, during each session, I was just hanging out with her, catching up on shows and movies while she worked her magic. Whenever I had concerns outside of their clinic, Rodger was quick to answer all of my questions. My experience here was phenomenal, and I know if I ever have concerns down the road, they will be there to answer my call. For anyone thinking about SMP, I highly suggest stopping by for a chat. If you do begin this journey, always remember to "trust the process" because the results can blow you away.

Upon meeting Jane, I instantly felt a connection and knew she was the right person for me. Like other reviews, she exudes professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and an overall warm and caring demeanor. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. I've had the pleasure of receiving several services from Jane, including permanent eyeliner and lip blushing, as well as a series of facials tailored to address fine lines, age spots, and improve my overall skin texture. I'm thoroughly satisfied with all of my experiences and intend to continue visiting Jane for a long time to maintain my desired results. The quality of Jane's work is exceptional. I highly recommend her and Joli Beautiful to anyone seeking professional and high-quality permanent makeup services and/or facial treatments.

I was introduced to Padi in 2010 when I was looking for a make up artist for our engagement…read morephoto shoot. I was referred to her though a friend who had nothing but good things to say. I had seen her pictures and really liked her make up so I thought id call her. Padi was very easy to talk to , It felt as if I had known her for years. She was flexible and we quickly set up an appointment for a consultation. At the consultation we went over specific looks I had in mind, I even brought pictures with me to show her, but she knew exactly what i wanted. I have consulted with other make up artist in the past and none of them understood my style and never really ever listened to what I wanted. With all the other make up artist i never really felt as if I looked like myself after. Initially I was worried but Padi knew exactly what I was talking about. My trial was exactly what I wanted the make up look perfect! I wanted the natural look but I wanted it to appear as if I was wearing some kind of make up without looking to done and she delivered just that! The most important thing during the trial was that Padi was patient she listened to everything I said and accommodated it all. Our Photo shoot turned out great and my make up look perfect I received so many compliments on my make up! I was so happily pleased! I have been using Padi for all events even my Wedding ! She was is so professional , flexible , sweet. She brought her own chair to the hotel set up and got started. My make up looked perfect and not to mention it stayed like that the WHOLE night! I only touched up my lipstick ! My eye make up and face makeup looked flawless the whole evening. I've used Padi for every single event since that day- and I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on my make up-

She was very sweet and nice and was considering everything I told her that I like. I had been to a couple of make-up artist at Nordstrom, Saphora and ... but didnt like any of the make ups. Some of them were to arrogant and were not listening to what I was saying I like. Some were not expert and didnt know what style would suit my face better. Padi was above them all, and I realized she is very EXPERIENCED and confident, and masters what she is doing. She was great customizing the looks I wanted to my face shape. Padi totally knows what she is doing and is very good and achieved a look better than I expected! How you look and feel on your wedding day is one of the most important things. Padi made sure I was comfortable with EVERYTHING.... she's very detail oriented, super sweet and is a wonderful professional. Padi did not push me to get a trial session... she left it up to me and I think she didn't want to make me feel like she was pushing her services. She is a very thoughtful and mature lady. Padi coordinated the time super masterfully, so she also did my sister, and sister-in-laws make ups all at the same day. They were all extremely happy with their make-ups and all of them were looking gorgeous. She made everything go very smoothly. Padi has her own studio that is set up so nicely. She is a true professional at what she does and loved all of our conversations! I received tons of compliments on how my makeup looked from family and friends.... Thank you Padi you are the best!

I held off on getting my eyebrows done for quite some time because I knew it was a big decision. I…read morefollowed IG and Yelp posts but never felt 100% sure until I saw Marie's pictures and reviews. Marie is not just a regular microblade artist, she is awesome at her craft! Her attention to detail and the time she takes to perfect your brows are evident from the moment you contact her to schedule your first appointment. Marie treats your brows like they're her own priority. She'll give you her expert advice but also listens to what you want out of your brows and works with you to make sure you're happy with the results. I originally thought I solely wanted microblading and was against micro shading because I thought it wouldn't look natural. After discussing the look I was going for with Marie (natural but darker and to save me time from having to fill my brows as part of my regular makeup routine) I went with her recommendation of doing the ombré effect with more shading and less blading. I am so extremely happy with the results! My brows look just like they do when I would fill them myself but fuller and more defined but still natural! This alone isn't the reason you should go with Marie though. There are a lot of options out there for microblading but what makes Microblade Artistry stand out from all the rest is the time and dedication she puts to make each client's experience feel personalized plus's her awesome personality. From the sweet welcome sign she has for you at each visit, to the lovely, handwritten thank you note, to the text messages checking in and letting you know she is available for any question you may have... Marie treats her clients well and goes above and beyond to make sure you receive the best customer service. If you're looking for long lasting brows you'll love, Microblade Artistry is the place for you!

I literally don't leave the house without "putting my brows on", which is annoying and time consuming. Marie's studio is so nice and so so clean. She is obsessive about the cleanliness which made me feel great. I was really particular about the shape of my brows and she was actually thankful for that. She mapped my brows for about 2 hours until I was perfectly happy with them and didn't blink an eye about it. Throughout the procedure she asked me how I was doing and made sure I was really comfortable. She worked on my brows until they were perfect. She wouldn't settle for anything less. We joked that she had OCD for eyebrows :) my new brows are amazing. The shape is perfect and I love waking up and not having to do anything to them.
