Terrible. Awful. I will never trust another person with permanent cosmetics on my face again. I expected some awesome results based on her other reviews. The scary thing is that not everybody writes reviews. Only the very happy and very angry people. I'm one of the angry ones. And there's absolutely no way I'm her only angry customer.
First off, she was extremely rude. She drew a freehand design on my eyebrows of what she thought looked good. Then she asked me if I liked them. I politely told her that they were a little too arch-y for my liking. I explained to her that I'm in the military and that I don't want to draw too much attention to my eyebrows because makeup is very restricted while in uniform.
She was obviously upset that I didn't like her design so she rolled her eyes, sighed, and redid the design. (This is MY face, not hers, I wanted the eyebrows how I wanted them).
Then the process started. It didn't hurt, just an uncomfortable pressure feeling. She was very gentle, I'll give her that. She did the microblading while sitting behind my head while I was laying down in the chair, similar to how a dentist checks your teeth.
It was concerning to me how, not once, she bothered to look at my eyebrows right-side up (because that's how the brows will be seen anyway, right?)
SO LET ME TELL YOU. The results. Were. Horrendous. I looked like Ronald McDonald. Two huge upside-down Nike symbols on my face. Chola-fied. Whatever you want to call it. She drew my eyebrows in so close together that they looked like two angry snakes hissing at each other. I honestly don't think she followed the design I preferred, because it was just as arch-y as her original design before I had her alter it.
I had paid on Groupon prior to my microblading session with Julie. And when it came time to leave her salon, I told her "I already paid on Groupon" and she began to get mouthy with me. "Why didn't you tell me you already paid?" Excuse me? Is there a rule that says that I needed to mention that before the appointment? Would my eyebrows have looked better if I had told you I had a Groupon?
I cried as soon as I left the salon. I cried and caked makeup on top of my eyebrows for the next few months in attempt to conceal them. I was horrified. People made fun of me. I was so embarrassed. And you betcha, I scrubbed those suckers every chance I got. They faded almost completely within about 4 months.
OH and she deleted my review of her on Facebook. So I'd imagine any other bad reviews were removed too. Hopefully she has no control over which reviews stay or go on Yelp. Keep in mind that she only posts SUCCESSFUL pictures of microblading, etc. After all, it's good for her business. read more
