I had my brows first done by Amy about two years ago and they completely transformed my look! I…read morewalked in to her super clean and cute office with barely any brows at all. They were super thin to begin with, and with age they had started to thin out even more. They were so thin, they disappeared in photos . Anyways, she helped me pick out color that would complement my ever changing hair color. The process it self isn't completely painless. She uses numbing creams on your brows so it is a lot less painful than getting a tattoo, but you do still feel the tools slightly on your skin. (A little) pain is beauty, right? Keep in mind your skin and your skin care routine can really impact how long it will take your brows to fade. You should expect to come in once a year for an annual touch up. Immediately after after a visit you'll need to avoid getting water on your brows for a day, and then avoid being in direct sunlight and sweating (I avoided taking cardio) for about a week for the ink to set. This is the same with tattoos (which I have a few of so I was prepared for this). Your brows will look darker than expected due to scabbing but your real brows will be revealed by the end of the week! One last thing to be prepared for: funny looks from people when your skin starts to heal and peel One patch of skin on my right brow which for no good reason just does not hold ink. It fades super quick compared to the rest which stays and fades consistently over a year, but this one spot just refuses to keep ink! Amy has been super helpful and nice in doing extra sessions to try going over that spot a bit extra. It's definitely easy enough to fill in this one spot with makeup but wanted to mention since Amy has done everything to to try to help it, but it's clearly an issue with that patch of skin. For you people who hate calling to make appointments, you can schedule online and even text her direct (I've sent photos of my brows this way) and she's super quick (within 24 hours) in responding!

Sometime in the last 3-4 years, my eyebrow hair has either slowed in growth or stopped altogether…read more I've been filling them in with eyeshadow or using those brow pens that draw a few thin lines at a time. I was chicken about this process because I wasn't sure about whether I could tolerate the pain or, even worse, I'd end up looking like Groucho Marx. I am not about the trendy, strong eyebrow game. I had been searching through Yelp and Facebook to see what reputable places offered microblading and I was about to head to Baltimore until I read all the reviews for Amy. And since location is also important, it helped that Microblading Magic & More was in Fairfax. Amy listens to your concerns and she definitely knows what she's doing. She makes herself available for any questions and she really knew what I wanted. She also told me exactly how my brows would heal, so I didn't freak out too too much. Amy knew that I didn't want strong brows, so I chose the shade lighter than black, which was maybe a brownish gray. During the healing process, your brows are pretty dark, and I actually grew to love the 'bolder' brows; so when I go back for my six week refresh, I'm choosing 'to go black.' I'm super happy that I took the plunge and got my eyebrows done. I had my misgivings, but beauty is pain right? If you're in the market for semi-permanent eyebrows, Amy of Microblading Magic is the real deal.

I've been a happy client of Maryna for 8 years…read more Our first encounter took place after I stumbled upon the pictures of her work on Instagram. It was so impressive that right then I proceeded to the reservation page and booked an appointment, even though I was not planning and researching this service before. Her work looked so good, I knew immediately, I need it for myself. After receiving the service, I felt like this was one of the best decisions of 2016. Many people including complete strangers would compliment on my brows and ask where can they get such beautiful transformation. Over the years I referred a number of people to Maryna and came back myself every couple years. Every time I was impressed how thorough and kind Maryna is. I would not imagine going to anyone else especially when it comes to something permanent, like a permanent makeup! Maryna is not only a highly qualified professional but also a talented artist, who assesses the needs and specifics of each individual to create yet another masterpiece. It is great to watch how Maryna continues to grow her expertise and expand on the ways she can bring more beauty to this world. Over these years her services expanded to include not just the brows, but also lips and eyeliner enhancements, as well as scalp and scar camouflage and areola corrections. Beyond that, Maryna started teaching the accumulation of her experience and knowledge to others and made her beauty studio also a DPOR-approved academy. I can't thank her enough for her dedication, sense of beauty and perfectionism; and will continue being a loyal client of hers. To all considering her services: you'd be in best hands you can find in the US and will regret the days and months you've been delaying your beauty service :)

A friend of mine referred her, and I'm so glad she did--Marina is incredibly talented and truly knows her craft. When it comes to microblading, she is the expert. What I love most about Marina is her ability to tailor your brows to your individual style, whether you wear full makeup, minimal makeup, or none at all. I don't wear much makeup, but waking up every morning with fresh, natural-looking eyebrows has made such a difference. Marina takes the time to ensure your brows complement your daily look and enhance your features, making you feel confident and polished every day. I won't go anywhere else for my brows, and I highly recommend Marina if you want expert, personalized brow services that fit your style.

I did research and stumbled upon Jennifer! I was quite nervous about the process, the semi-permanence of it and level of pain tolerance. I just didn't know what to expect but a friend had nano brow done and recommended it. Jennifer was very patient with my questions. We did a consultation and then I came in for the procedure. Her salon is clean and pretty. Like many, I was nervous with how dark my brows looked at first but trust Jennifer! They will fade after the healing process and get lighter. Then the brows really look natural. My pain tolerance is probably on the lower end and I thought it was overall tolerable. Some areas there was little discomfort; some areas on your brows there's more discomfort if it's a sensitive area. After a week later, I came back to do lash lift and I am so glad that I did! I am Asian and my straight lashes actually curl up now! No pain or discomfort with this procedure. Love the lash lift and plan to touch up every 8 weeks. About 7 weeks after my first nano procedure, I went back for the brow touch up session and another lash lift. Overall, I'm thrilled that I found Jennifer for my brow and lashes services! She's so lovely and easy to talk to. You will love working with her! It's worth it!

I was pretty nervous about getting permanent makeup done because it's... you know... permanent, but…read moreJenny did an amazing job with my eyeliner and I'm LOVING it. The whole process took about 2 hours. I took a Tylenol 30 minutes before my appointment as recommended in the pre-care instructions. First, Jenny drew on my eyeliner and confirmed it was the look I wanted. Next, she had my close my eyes and applied numbing cream to my upper lash line. I laid there for about 20 minutes and then she came back and gently scratched the upper lash line and applied more numbing cream and I laid for another 20 minutes. The actual tattooing portion wasn't exactly painful, but was highly unnerving because there was a tattoo gun on my eyeballs. I felt fine for most of it and only really felt pain toward the end when she was doing the finishing touches on the outer portion of my lash line (the inner corners and middle of the eye weren't painful whatsoever). I think this was because after having been gone over once the eye was more sensitive during the final touches. After the procedure she gave me an ice pack and I kept them on my closed eyes for a while before leaving. I would say that the two days after are the most uncomfortable part of the experience because your eyes are swollen. I iced them on an off the rest of the day the day of and as needed the following two days. She said it would be a bit swollen for the following day and then would be better, but for me it was more like 3 days until my eyes felt truly normal. I would recommend getting a cooling gel eye mask that you can wear the day or 2 after for simplicity. The days after aren't so bad you need to ice constantly and I think if I had had a cooling gel eye mask in my fridge I would have just used that to soothe the swelling. It's been 2 weeks since my procedure now and I've gotten fully accustomed to the look. It's soo nice that I look put together even when wearing absolutely no makeup. For the most part my daily makeup routine is just mascara and some lip balm or gloss so I loveeee not having to apply eyeliner. I'm also able to apply eyeshadow right over my eyeliner if I want and it will still show through. I've only actually drawn over my eyeliner once because I was going for a dramatic look. I would definitely recommend a natural look that you can play up if you want. Great experience overall! :)

WOW!! Words cannot even explain how much I am in love with my lips after getting the "lip blush" by…read moreSommer. I was super scared they would come out really dark and look like lipstick- but they look so amazingly natrual, most people think I have on a lip stain or some sort of gloss! When I got to Sommer's studio space, I was very nervous (even though I have countless tattoos ) but she did amazing at making sure I was comfortable and very informed about every step throughout the procedure.. that in itself put my mind at ease especially because I had a mouth guard in and couldn't really ask any questions () . Also, she keeps her space very very clean, & tidy. (Plus her disinfection & sanitation is on point!! ) I had a specific color in mind and Sommer was able to find the exact color I wanted very quickly and even let me try it on to be sure that's what I actually wanted! I told her my concerns about my small upper lip and she showed me how she could accentuate my cupid's bow & natural lining of my lips to give a fuller, more feminine look- I was skeptical but decided to just go for it! Sommer made sure I was comfortable and as numb as possible throughout the procedure as I didn't take too well to the first round of numbing cream, she explained that once the skin was broken she could use another numbing cream and when she did, I was totally numb!! The parts of my lips closest to the inside of my mouth felt a little "prickly" but nothing unbearable at all!! After the procedure was finished she explained all aftercare to me and sent me home with an aftercare kit to use for the next 10-14 days... there was some peeling and dryness to my lips for the next week or so but that was to be expected. I felt no pain or tenderness after the first day, once the initial swelling went down. Then, after about 10 days they seemed to be healed up very nicely and I am absolutely in love with them!! Perfect if you're looking for something subtle but still sexy! Now all I have to do in the mornings is put on my lashes and clear lip gloss and I'm done!! Thank you so much Sommer! It was truly a pleasure & I can't wait for my touch up!!

I am extremely dissatisfied with Gentle Touch for Electrolysis treatment and would not recommend…read morethis business for adults or minors. I was a client myself and also brought my 16-year-old daughter for treatment. The owner was unprofessional, inflexible, and provided poor customer service. When the treatment was ineffective, my daughter was made to feel as though it was her fault, which is completely unacceptable--especially when working with a minor. There was no clear plan of care, no accountability for poor results, and the equipment used does not appear to be state-of-the-art. Rather than adjusting the approach, responsibility was shifted to the client. I would walk around with a full beard before I ever give this woman another penny of my money.
