I had been wanting to get my eyebrows micro-bladed for a while and after doing my research, I came across this place. Angela is a sweet professional who takes her time to ensure meticulous work. Initially, she started with a consultation and recommended the best technique based on my skin type (oily) and my personal makeup preference. Then she drew an outline of my eyebrows based on my personal makeup style which came out even better than I had imagined. After the first session, I came back for my touch up after 2 months and she perfected her work based on how my brows had healed. I'm very satisfied with her work and would not even think about going to anyone else. On top of her great work, it was pretty much pain free bc she uses numbing cream as needed. :)

Magic. That's precisely what Angela performs when she deftly and delicately maneuvers the micro-needle over your brows. My semi-sparse brows (now healing) are feathery, natural, and full. LOVE THEM. If you're thinking about the semi-permanent procedure, you can stop right here as Angela did an awesome job on my brows. I was hesitant at first to have something done on my face, but her work and natural, organic style caused me to take that beauty investment leap. It will enhance what I naturally have AND save me a buttload of time in my hurried morning makeup routine. Her appointments are filling up quickly, so I would suggest calling to book as soon as you can. Thank you Broderie Ink - you've afforded me more minutes to sleep in. All you mamas know how valuable this is. ;) ====================================== SHOP: Located to the rear of the Black Bear Diner, in a small strip of business. Broderie Ink is to the right of the veterinary office and CosmoProf, with the entrance around the corner. The actual station and work area was very clean, while the shopfront was still undergoing renovations. It was very airy and inviting. PROCEDURE: I wasn't sure how this would all work as I didn't receive much pre-appointment advice. You show up with whatever brows you have on the daily and Angela sits down with you and spends a good amount of time measuring your brow bone, drawing guidelines, and discussing your brow goals. She explained my particular brows and noticed minute details that only a skilled brow drawer would grasp. I was given 35 minutes to allow the initial numbing cream to take effect during which I could have napped or used my phone. I elected to go back to my car, retrieve a snack, and eat it in the lobby. The strokes initially was disconcerting to hear, sounding like loud scratches, but after I realized I did not feel anything, I was able to ignore them. Following every few batches of strokes, Angela would update me and occasionally consult with me to redraw the guidelines before continuing and to achieve my desired results. She finished in approximately three hours. STYLE: As mentioned, Angela's style is organic and natural. She will select an ink color(s) that matches your natural brows and needle sizes that match your brow hair thickness. PAIN: I have a very low tolerance for pain and this procedure was less painful than a Brazilian wax or the lasering of the armpits. I took no painkillers beforehand (as you shouldn't) and following the topical, local numbing cream, only felt mild discomfort or a scratching feeling on my brows. My initial anxiety wore off pretty quickly once Angela started because the pain was minimal. After the first round wore off (I knew by my increased sensitivity to the needle), Angela paused and gave me more numbing cream. After that, I did have sensitivity and soreness but again, it was all very tolerable. Following my appointment and after Angela made some fine tune adjustments/strokes, I was feeling heightened soreness and sensitivity, so I took some ibuprofen (sold next door at the liquor store for $1.36/packet!) and was fine. MATERIALS: Angela strictly uses high quality needles and inks. The needles (only new ones for each client) are manufactured in Germany or South Korea. All her inks are from Europe (Switzerland for one) and not produced in China. She is knowledgable about the ingredient composition of the inks and only buys them from reputable, authorized dealers/direct. INITIAL RESULTS: Please do not expect immediate results. As this is a procedure done to your skin, tattooing, it is essentially a wound. I'm assuming if I adhere to the prescribed aftercare, I'll have the best results. Duh. I walked out with really dark and large brows - with the knowledge that they will fade by ~40% and shrink once my skin is healed. Oh, and they will look as perfect as they did when Angela first finished them. PAY: To secure an appointment, you have to pay $100 (which will go towards the cost of services). FOLLOW UP: The procedure will heal in two weeks and I have my complimentary touch up appointment in two months. I'll be updating my review in a few weeks after the procedure has healed and after my touch up appointment.

This review is not an attack on the eyebrow tattoo artist personally, but I do believe that anybody who wishes to visit her business should know about her business practice. I went to see Angela for eyebrow strokes last month. I have an old tattoo that I wanted to freshen up and cover wth microstrokes. Unfortunately, because of the creams/products I had consistently used on my face (brightening creams and what not), my skin was too thin to complete the procedure on. And Angela didn't let me forget it. She must have repeated at least 100 times, "Oh my God, your skin is so so so thin! WOW! This is the thinnest skin I've ever seen!!!" Imagine her saying this at least 100 times. Ok, thanks, I get it.. :) She made me feel very uncomfortable to say the least. Moving on, she proceeds to give me some microstrokes but tells me that she can't complete my brows that day because my skin was too thin. I completely understood her reasoning, and in fact, I was appreciative of the fact that she was honest and wanted to make sure she would do the best job possible. She asked me to come back in a month or so after discontinuing the skin-thinning creams I was using. I said sure. I paid the $475 she charges for microstrokes, and I planned to come back in a month for her to complete the job. However, it turns out that she was going to treat that upcoming second session as a touch-up (even though it wouldn't be; it would just be a completion of what she didn't finish on me). That means that I would actually have to PAY for my touchup (the third visit) which is essentially something that is free in EVERY eyebrow tattoo clinic. Angela told me that she opened materials that she had to throw away because we didn't complete our session. How is that my fault?? Her manager who handles the scheduling should have notified me of the cream discontinuation guidelines prior to the session if it was that big of a deal for customers to know. She then said she put the time in. Yes, she did, but I did not pay for her time. I paid for her service. Which she did not complete. In my opinion, she needs to give a free touchup to a client regardless of how many times it takes her to complete a client's eyebrows. Eyebrows fade without a touchup, and I wasn't about to spend almost $500 for her to do my eyebrows and then make me pay for a touchup which is the right of any eyebrow tattoo customer to have given the massive amount of fading and shrinking that takes place. She told me that it was just $65, and for my face, it's not so much. Well, it's not about the money; it's about the principle of the matter and your business ethic. Anyway, I decided to let it go and go with it. Fine, I'll pay extra for the touchup that is actually supposed to be included in the $475 that I paid for the service of microblading. One week later, all my microstrokes went away. I messaged Angela with a picture and expressed my concern and mentioned to her that next time I wanted to add more strokes that were deeper and perhaps darker. Angela then texts me back and basically tells me she doesn't think it was going to "work". She basically removed me as her client. Just because I expressed my concern about the major fade of the microstrokes and informed her about the unjustified payment she expects for her incomplete services? That was totally a turn off. I will give her some credit only for the fact that she did refund me my full money, which I respect. However, her other business tactics are unfair. It also seemed to me that she wasn't willing to take on the challenge of my eyebrows because they're rather uneven. Again, this isn't an attack on Angela. She is a fairly nice person, but her charges and reasoning behind them is something I find to be unfair and I feel other yelpers should know about.

I never do Yelp reviews but, Angela deserved to be recognized for her meticulous work. I actually wanted microblading about a year back and noticed she was booked until June but I wasn't in a hurry to find someone else because I knew if I was patient I'd get results that I expected from an artist like her. I was right! My brows are perfect and so natural. I went with microblading because I wanted hairlike strokes but, she does a range of looks like ombre or powder-shading. All very beautiful from what I've seen. We went over shape and established exactly what I wanted which was not super archy and not a pointy tail. She suggested feathery brows and a dark brown but I wanted to go darker and she didn't have an issue with that or talked me out of it. So I appreciate that she respected what I preferred over her suggestion. I definitely recommend booking with her if you're contemplating whether or not you should, just call for an appointment because there's no point being indecisive with a great artist like Angela.

I went to Broderie Ink a few days ago for Microblading. I must say, I am beyond satisfied with the results. My eyebrows are full and beautiful. It's been a couple of days so they're dark right now, but I can only imagine how much nicer they're going to be once they heal. It is worth it for me because I've always hated filling out my eyebrows and having to add that to my makeup routine. I highly recommend Nophealey because she is attentive and a perfectionist at her trade.

I came in to get my eyebrows micro bladed from Angie yesterday and I am very happy with the results! I actually came in with very uneven brows (my left brow was over-plucked and the arches of both brows were so uneven) and Angie took the time to help me even out my arches and helped me shape them a lot better to compliment my face. I really liked that she was very diligent in the process of drawing and shaping out my brow shape and made sure they were even. Another thing I liked about getting my brows done from Angie was that the numbing agent was amazing! I was skeptical at first about the pain but I didn't feel anything at all. She also gave me a little kit to take home (included: q-tips, skin protectant ointment and a little sheet to help maintain your eyebrows after the procedure). Her work space is very cute and simple and she makes sure that you are comfortable. I highly recommend her to anybody who is interested in getting their eyebrows micro bladed. Like I said, I just got my eyebrows done yesterday and I already got a lot of compliments! They are a lot fuller and shaped very nicely. Thank you Angie!

My coworker made an appointment to have her brows done by Angela. Her eyebrows came out ok so I decided to book with Angela as well. After having my brows done I noticed they were uneven and there were some spots where I just don't know what Angela was doing. It's been over a year and other artist won't touch my brows because of the bad work Angela did. I've had my eyebrows threaded a few times and have been told they are uneven or asked if the brown spots are scars. I'm now stuck with these brows until they fade enough to fix. The whole reason I wanted to have microblading done was so I wouldn't have to color them in. Now I have no choice but to color them in to hide the uneven areas. I noticed 90% of the pictures posted here are posted by the business owner. That gets me wondering. She's nice and all but I won't be back.
