Botched Septum Piercing -- DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE…read more The piercer assured me she was able to do septum piercings and she was confident in the placement of my piercing. When the piercing was happening, it took her a long time to get the needle through, and it hurt more than it should have, but because it was my first time getting a facial piercing I didn't know what to expect. A week later, I came in a second time because the piercing was too tight and it was creating indents in my nose, and she widened the piercing for me. At that time she didn't note that anything was wrong with my piercing, but she did encourage me to manually move it into the proper downward position because mine was stuck sticking straight out. I tried moving it into the position as directed but it wouldn't stay. Initially, I thought it was an anatomy thing, but after looking up similar cases online, I began to worry it was pierced improperly. I sought a second opinion from a more experienced piercer and she confirmed that Serenity had pierced my nose not through the sweet spot, but instead through the hard cartilage. Now I have to wait for my septum to heal fully before I can get it repierced properly. Two stars instead of one because they did give me a full refund and Serenity seems like a genuinely kind person, but I don't believe she should be doing any piercings until she does another apprenticeship.

They are great people, easy to work with, generous sharing their resources and time, and they were wonderful as they put up with our goofiness through the process of figuring out what art we each wanted on our bodies.

We can't wait to visit our new friends again for our next girl's trip to get more spontaneous tattoos!

I've had the great fortune to sit with Dion several times for an ongoing extremely large piece…read more Now, I have a half dozen tattoos from over the years, so I'm well aware of how tattoo shops run. This place is special. Dion is much more concerned with your comfort than his; I've even watched entire series on the well placed tv while he's creating magic. The shop is immaculate, the artists are friendly and engaging, and the creativity is otherworldly. I fly in from the east coast every few months and I will continue to do so. My skin is my canvas, but Dion holds the brush. Be mindful of who makes you a work of art. You are worth nothing less than a masterpiece.

I would highly recommend Areen Khoury as a make up artist. she is an immaculately clean person. I…read morehave been in her home and everything is nice and neat and clean. She is also super caring. When she worked on my eyebrows, she was just a student, and she cared how I felt about my eyebrows I highly recommend her.

I would go to someone more experienced, I now need her work corrected. I had my eyebrows and my…read morelips done by Areen Khoury. I went over everything in great detail with her and brought in a requested photo of the brow shape that I wanted. Areen agreed she could do the shapes and colors, no problem. But, she did a totally different shape than what we discussed. I was shocked, she gave me square type brows instead of rounded at the beginning, so she told me to let them heal for the month and she would fix them when I came back for the 2nd brow session. We went over everything again at the 2nd session and when I got out of the chair and looked in the mirror I said out loud "Oh my God! I just don't know what to do!" Instead of the rounded brows we talked about, I now had bigger and even more square with one higher than the other. Again, she told me to let them heal for the month and she would fix them. But, she never touched them again, she only had excuses after that. I think she only told me she would fix them because I was also scheduled to have my lips done that day. $ Once she was paid, her character changed and she seemed to have many excuses as to why she suddenly could no longer do things that she agreed upon upfront. She told me ... "you could just draw in the space with a eyebrow pencil before you went out (in public)". She also told me, "well, you wear bangs and they won't be so noticeable". After paying so much money for permanent makeup I do not want to constantly draw in the correct shape before I go out and I cannot get past the square look at the beginning of my brows, they are not a good look for me and that's just not what I wanted. I would constantly point it out to her, that I wanted them rounded at the beginning. When I mentioned that I also wanted them the darker color that we discussed, she changed to telling me "my skin was too light to have darker brows" (it's not, I'm dark complected), and she told me upfront that she would do the color as dark as my hair, so where did the change come from. I asked her if she could add some hair like strokes to make the brows look better, she said "no, they would be a lighter color and it wouldn't matter", when before she said yes. She was very difficult to work with, her behavior was confusing because she would say yes and act like she understood, we would stand in the mirror and go over everything, she would agree and she was nice, but then she would give me something totally different. She would even reaffirm things and ask me the question "you want your brows as dark as your hair?" and I would say yes, thinking that she would, but she never did. I was sick with worry for my lip session. I finally drew in the lip shape myself that I wanted and made her promise me that she would do it exactly, she promised, but didn't exactly, and the top area of my philtrum ridges were very important to me, then she told me that "I was focusing on little things". I also ended up with my bottom lip being crooked, a lower on the right side. I said oh no, she told me "your lips look different when your laying down", so she went with that instead and they ended up crooked. Afterwards, I was left with totally different eyebrows than I wanted, issues with color and flaws. I was talking to her on the phone, I asked her for the brand of colors she used and I mentioned that I needed to get correction, sweet Areen turned into loud angry Areen and she wouldn't even let me talk. I was surprised because we had always talked nice to each other before that. I did ask her why she just didn't tell me upfront if she couldn't do what I wanted, instead of telling me that she could. Her reply was - "well, you were already here and in the chair". I'm sad she was dishonest because permanent makeup is permanent. I'm left to assume she may have been worried that I would have changed my mind if she couldn't do the shape that I wanted and then she would have been out the money she was expecting from my sessions. I feel like money is more important to her than the clients satisfaction.
