FYI - she's by appointment only and gets booked up quickly!

Sent Nate a broad idea of what I wanted for my tattoo. The concept he came up with was better than what I expected. His coloring work is stellar, especially when considering I have a darker complexion. It was also a cover-up and no one can see the tattoo that was covered up, even after I mention it was a coverup. It's not the cheapest place in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. I'd have paid more!

I worked with Jesica Sanchez for about 4 months. Her tattoos are beautiful, but her scheduling is a…read morenightmare. My first tattoo was rescheduled once, touch ups and shading went fine, but my second tattoo didn't even end up happening. She rescheduled me after double booking the day I was originally scheduled for, then was incredibly difficult to get a hold of for a month to set a date to reschedule. Finally, the day of the new appointment came around and Jesica was a no show. She did not respond to emails, Instagram messages, or texts from coworkers. I waited 45 minutes before leaving my contact info with her coworker and heading out. Two hours after my appointment, I got a message from her saying that she had looked at the wrong week in her calendar. No idea what's happening with my deposit, but I'm not going through the scheduling run around with Jesica again. Very unprofessional and frustrating.

Updated review: I…read morewant to clarify the timeline based on my emails with Jesica. I did ask to see a sketch before canceling. On the Monday my finished sketch was promised, Jesica emailed asking for direction, which made it clear that no design had been started or completed. I replied asking to see any progress at all, even a rough draft, so I could provide guidance. After that, she stopped responding completely. I only canceled after she ghosted me and had not delivered any work despite a full in-person consultation and detailed instructions. This was not a matter of impatience or disliking a design. The concern was that no work was ever produced or shared, and my requests for proof of progress were ignored. I am posting this so other potential clients have an accurate record of what happened. Paying a deposit for work that is never delivered and being left without communication is unprofessional. Original review: I met with Jesica Sanchez in person to talk about a custom tattoo and gave her all the details for what I wanted. I told her the idea was a little open so she could have creative freedom and show me her vision. I paid a $100 deposit and she told me I would get the finished sketch the Monday before my appointment. That Monday she emailed saying she was still "trying to come up with a concept" and needed more direction. That was the second email from her saying basically the same thing, which made it clear she hadn't even started by the time the finished sketch was supposed to be done. At that point I told her it was fine, I understood that what I was asking for would rely on the artist more than Google image so I'd just find another artist since she hadn't started. Then she told me she couldn't refund my deposit because she had "already spent so much time" on it. When I asked her to show me ANY kind of sketch so I could give feedback, even if she wasn't happy with it, she completely stopped responding and ghosted me. She never showed any work, never communicated again, and kept my deposit. I was really excited to work with her but this was completely unprofessional and dishonest. I'm posting this so other people don't go through the same thing. Be careful before paying her anything upfront.

Jenice is an incredibly skilled, experienced, and trustworthy permanent makeup technician, who I…read morehighly recommend. She considers your skin tone along with hair color when choosing the pigment color to use, she measures carefully to create a shape that will enhance your face and age well over the years, she frequently pauses to check the shape and symmetry throughout the application process, she uses high quality needles that apply the pigment cleanly and don't scar your skin, and she keeps your skin numbed well so the procedure isn't uncomfortable. She has done a great job correcting my shoddy eyebrow job done 5 years ago by Winnie with Lashe Love in Durham. I trust Jenice wholeheartedly and I'll keep seeing her for touch-ups as long as she keeps working, which I hope is a very long time! Getting my permanent eyebrow makeup is one of the best things I've ever done for myself and Jenice's expertise and skilled application is worth every penny. Seriously, do yourself a favor - don't fall for Groupon deals, and run away from technicians who use stencils or freehand without measuring to create the shape for your eyebrows - go to Jenice and know you are in the very best and most qualified hands!
