1st of all - I rarely do reviews. I had to for Carolina Microblading/Henrietta because my…read moreexperience was exceptional. Like most of us, we haven't had our faces altered with a sterile scalpel and ink, so the process can be disconcerting to say the least. This is not a thing to have done using a Groupon. Don't skimp. I only went to Henrietta because my friend recommended her and I had NEVER seen eyebrow microblading turn out so well. No Joke. Customer Service: A++ Henrietta is committed to communicating with her clients AND prospective clients promptly, with grace and attentiveness. This is her side-job and passion. Her life goal is to "make women feel and look their best". This shines through in her whole practice. Office Atmosphere: A++ When you walk in, its small and intimate. There is cool-vibe music playing and aromatherapy oils diffusing. Microblading Studio Cleanliness: A+++ I cant even express how clean and sterile Henrietta's studio is. You look around and its immaculate. Its set up like a surgical room (with an aesthetic and warm/comforting touch). Personality: I cant even rate this - off the charts. The aforementioned passion shines through, starting with Henrietta's personality. She is a compassionate woman, and wants to make sure that her clients feel taken care of. She's down-to-earth and relatable. The Microblading process: A+++ Henrietta explained everything that she was going to do. She would map out my face (with her protractor), making sure that everything was completely symmetrical. She measured and measured and plotted the lines. And made sure what she was doing was within her app guidelines (as an extra measure). Went back and plotted again with such precision. Measured again. Made sure that it mapped correctly again. Then showed me what my new brow outline would look like - always letting me hold the mirror so I could see. I was amazed - could my brows really have this shape?? This shape looks amazing, I'm thinking. Once its all mapped out, she numbs the area with a topical ointment and then she gets to work. The initial mapping took about 45 mins (Henrietta is very meticulous). The microblading took a while - about 2 hours. She does one and then keeps refining. Back and forth. "Oh, I just need to do two more strokes right here, and then I'll be happy". "Oh, just one more here, and I'll be happy". She is VERY personally invested in her clients. She knows her clients' satisfaction is her self-satisfaction. After leaving her studio: I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that for the past 10 years I had been filling in my "okay" brows in with idk how many brow pencils, but most recently the Benefit "Precisely, My Brow Pencil Ultra-Fine Shape & Define" (which is my fave, but looks SOO FAKE!!). I cant tell you how much $$ I've spent on brow pencils, shadows, etc to try to make my brows frame my face. I went home and was scared to look at them. But now, each time I do, its scary how good it looks. And to think that they only look awesome due to a beautiful woman, with a genuine purpose and a steady hand with a blade and ink - making tiny hair strokes above my eyes.

Recently, after reviewing my transaction and comparing pricing, I reached out respectfully to ask for clarification regarding the charge and to address concerns about the results of the work she performed. I outlined my questions clearly and requested that communication remain in writing so there would be no misunderstandings. As shown in the screenshots, rather than addressing the pricing discrepancy or concerns in writing, I was told to "move forward with my next steps" because I was not willing to switch to a phone call. I made multiple attempts to resolve this directly and professionally before sharing this review. My request was simply for written clarification regarding a financial and service concern. I'm sharing this experience for transparency so others can make informed decisions. Based on how this situation was handled, I would not personally recommend her to anyone. What makes a good business absolutely depends on how they handle any arising issues and how they communicate. See for yourself how she handled this and be the judge. 0/10 very disappointed to be honest, I had hoped she'd remain a good person and help me out. :/ I will add that I am in the process of now filing with the NC Board of CAE & NC Health Dept. due to the negligence.

Its a shame I really liked this place, had a pretty great experience getting a piercing done…read more Unfortunately the piercing was the problem, it was done at an angle with the wrong jewelry and a year later still hurts and has a bump now. I've gone back to them for questions over time and been told some wildly different things between their piercers.

After shopping…read morearound and looking at places in the area, I was recommended Inkvictus, an inclusive, body-positive, and welcoming cosmetic enhancement studio. I loved everything about this studio before making the appointment. From their amazing Instagram posts, ease of their website, and everything in between, I was hooked. I decided to book an appointment with Bre who has been in the field for a little over two years. I booked powder brows and lash line enhancement (eyeliner). I have a tattoo on my arm so I was super excited to scratch that itch one knows to have after getting a tattoo. When I entered the studio, immediately I was greeted by everyone there. I felt so incredibly welcomed and comfortable. The studio is fun, vibrant, and fun. I felt incredibly relaxed. Bre was AMAZING. We talked about our travels, mostly, which is a favorite topic of mine. She was informative about everything, guided me along the way, gave me a bathroom break, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the 3.5 hours I was there. Numbing cream definitely helped because there were some areas that I was feeling some scratching but it didn't bother me any (honestly, it's an adrenaline rush if anything). The eyeliner was a weird feeling at first but after a few minutes, I was comfortable and my eyes relaxed. Honestly, I expected worse. This was easy! I've been waking up every morning with a huge boost of confidence without even doing my makeup! I go in for an included touch-up next month and I even booked a lash lift and tint for March! I'm telling you right now...if you've been thinking about getting some permanent cosmetic makeup, do it!! Bre was FANTASTIC!!!

My initial session with Gerilyn went well. My brows looked good, and they healed well. The…read moreproblems started with the follow-up session. Gerilyn cancelled this at the last minute (said she had car problems), which was unfortunate because I had specifically timed this so that my brows had time to heal before I attended my son's fiancee's bridal shower. So I missed that boat and had to wait another 2 weeks until my follow-up which was approximately 10 weeks after the initial session. By then my brows had really faded and definitely needed a touch-up. At that session it was clear that Gerilyn was quite upset about personal issues and now I wonder if this distracted her from her task. This is because, following that session, I saw that my brows were wider in the middle than at either end - definitely a strange result. So I contacted Gerilyn to schedule a session to fix this. But this appointment was just as hard to schedule as before - again due to her personal life (said she was moving). By now I was getting anxious because my son's actual wedding was coming up in a few weeks and I absolutely wanted to be done with this before then. After chasing Gerilyn down - a lot - I got her confirmation for a Monday afternoon appointment. I should mention that for each session I traveled from Chapel Hill to her Raleigh location which meant each visit involved a 90-minute round trip, plus taking several hours off work. When I arrived at the salon this time not only was Gerilyn a no-show but, when I called to find out where she was, it was clear that she'd forgotten our appointment. During that last conversation with her she offered an excuse (sick child) but no apology and said I would need to reschedule - again. I asked her to email me with a few late afternoon appointment options and I'd pick one. I didn't hear from her. So I emailed her yet again and suggested 2 possible options, and also reminded her that I needed to get this done and healed before my son's wedding in 2 weeks. I never heard from her again. So my brows are not fixed and will definitely look weird at my son's wedding - one of the most important days of my life that I've been planning for over a year. In the end I wound up with a partial refund from Groupon and going to someone else to fix my brows. It doesn't matter how skilled you are if you're unreliable and unprofessional. Not only is Gerilyn both of these things, but her substandard results, lack of accountability and callous attitude left me high and dry in the worst way. I would not recommend her and I certainly wouldn't wish my experience with her on anyone else.

I had a consultation with Sonya and we worked out a strategy to achieve what I wanted for my brows. I got them done twice in VA, both several years ago and they had started to fade a bluish/greenish brown from the dark brown they had been. This is actually the second local salon I visited for this service, the first told me I'd need to have them lasered off before starting over. Sonya evaluated and said she could fix them no problem. The first session we worked on the color correction and kept the shape mostly the same. The second session (a month later) we finalized the color and went a little bigger on the shape. The final session (a month later) we finished the shape and I ended up with exactly what I wanted. The process was easy, I felt informed every step of the way and Sonya is clearly an expect in her craft.
