I found "Brows By Kate" via Instagram and spent time researching her work before deciding to take…read morethe leap. I realize in hindsight that the pictures that she uses to demonstrate her work are taken immediately after the microblading session (rather than weeks later), so the results are definitely much different in time. Basically her photos are not indicative of ones final results. I specifically told Kate that the reason I was there was to (1). To minimize my brow routine (I didn't want constant maintenance. I didn't want to have to use makeup on them anymore; my brows are pale and sparse naturally and I'd been waxing & getting them henna'd for years). & (2). To bring out my eyes. I also told her that I'm a fitness instructor and am very active (I sweat a lot at work). She assured me that she could accomplish this for me via microblading. I was at their tattoo parlor for five hours (I've since been told by other professionals that that was more than twice as long as it should take). Kate struggled with the template, and I told her when she was finished with the template that I felt the brows were too high above my natural brow line and too pointy. She then assured me that the microblading would be under the thick lines of the template and inside the lines rather than on the line, so it would look better when we were done (I should have followed my gut, but I trusted her instead). What I was left with was 2 very different eyebrows, much higher than my natural brow line, and shaped completely different. It looks terrible. Right away that evening I knew that I was in trouble. I contacted her and she attempted to reassure me that it always looks darker in the beginning, and that by the time they "calmed down" and I came in for the 2nd touch up, I'd be good to go. I wasn't convinced, but it was a bit late at that point to do anything about it (or so I thought; apparently there is something that can be done within 24 hrs after microblading to remove the color, but this was not offered to me). I was very distressed. It wasn't the darkness necessarily that bothered me, just the fact that they were 2 totally different shapes and heights, and the color was so orange looking. Eventually she did refund my money, but would do nothing to help me look better. She tried to blame it on me even though I'd followed her instructions to the letter. She simply texted the forms to me that I had signed (the fine print & extensive forms she had me quickly sign so that we could get working- I should have paid more attention). I'm left with patches of brownish-orange scratches- mangy looking brows- she shaved my natural brows and they are now growing back in patches (below the pink, spotty, scratchy scarred welts of the microblading). It looks awful, and no other microblader will touch me until 6 months out (I have to wait until late summer). To remove the scars via laser would cost hundreds of dollars that I don't have. My daily brow routine takes hours now! And I look ridiculous. Tread lightly and trust your gut if you decide to do this. I thought that Kate was a sweet person, and I SO wanted this to work that I didn't listen to the warning bells going off in my head. She definitely wasn't sweet afterwards!

Bernadette is such a gem!! I just love her!!…read more Her location is incredibly convenient, she's very professional, her prices are really good considering she's the best on the coast And I trusted her work for a round 2!! I came and saw Bernadette a few years back when we originally shaped and tattooed on my brows after I had barely any!! For several years since, my brows remained fresh looking and natural, which I feel like is every female's biggest wish. None of us want to say we over tweezed or misshaped our brows, we've always wished we had a full, luscious and naturally shaped beautiful brow, but most of us have needed this service to achieve that. For the last several years, I never had to touch an eyebrow pencil, my entire makeup regimen had changed because my dark beautiful shaped brows brought out the best in my eyes... And that's truly a thanks to the talented and artistic Bernadette!! Thus, I went in for my touchup and we caught up like old friends, she gave me a radical price and my brows look so fresh that my self esteem is bursting!! I've said it before and I'll say it again... Bernadette. Is. The. BEST. Why wait!? Get to her books and do it. No woman has ever walked away, saying they regret working with her!!

She shows a lot of interest in getting to know you, it's like visiting with a new friend. She listens well, and really strives to get the perfect look for you. She goes over all the info in depth and shows pictures to help you choose what you are looking for. Her little shop is is very clean, and welcoming. It is just you and her in a private studio. It is also in a central location with food and a Starbucks close by to have a meal or treat before or after your appointment.

I heard about this place from a friend and made an appointment only 2 days ago. The calendar was…read morewide open. I woke up this morning sick. She told me she would have to keep my entire $100 deposit, which is pretty harsh considering she also told me, on the phone, that the wound would not heal well unless I am healthy. We are talking about microblading on my face, so I don't want to take a chance that it will come out unwon't heal correctly. I understand cancellation policies, but $100 is excessive if you want healthy clients that get consistently good results. From what I could see by her schedule, I didn't cost her another client at that time. At $100, most people would probably come in sick, which would cause work on their face to come out or heal poorly, or other larger issues like sterility problems and germs in a place that cuts into your body with needles. I'm not going to frequent a business that could encourage sick clients to come in because it's too expensive to cancel. To be fair, I knew that I would have to forfeit my deposit if I got sick, and like most optimists, I didn't think that would be a problem. I debated all morning on whether I was really too sick to go. That's scary. I highly recommend you think about whether you really want to set an appointment with someone who charges this much to cancel for a legitimate illness. Wish I could recommend, but I can't.

I finally bit the bullet and got my brows done and I could not be happier! Taylor is THE best!read more

I greatly appreciate their kindness and thoughtfulness.
