Thanks to genetics, I've had very thin eyebrows for as long as I can remember, and they've been a major source of insecurity for me. Years ago, I had my brows microbladed elsewhere, but I wasn't thrilled with the results and never felt they gave me the look I was hoping for. Fast forward several years, and my eyebrows were still something I felt self-conscious about every day. I finally decided to give microblading another try and found Lauren--and I am so glad I did! She was amazing from start to finish. She listened to what I wanted, made me feel comfortable throughout the process, and her attention to detail was incredible. I absolutely love my brows. They look natural, beautifully shaped, and perfectly complement my features. The results have completely changed my face in the best possible way and given me a confidence boost I didn't realize I needed. If you're on the fence about microblading or looking for someone truly talented, I can't recommend Lauren enough! read more

Lauren does amazing job! I have been getting my eyebrows microbladed for years and every time it's perfect!

Lauren was amazing!! Throughout the entire process she made me feel comfortable and it was so quick and easy too! I love my eyebrows

Lauren is the type of person who'd go that extra mile to make you comfortable during a procedure that could be nerve wracking. Permanent ink anywhere really isn't an easy thing to commit to, even more so when it involves your face!! Ive been getting restorative treatment to my hairline to no avail so I resorted to SMP for my balding/receding hairline. Lauren has truly been such a professional - a model business owner who has tact in her ways to converse with you while making sure she understands your every desire. She's brilliantly detail oriented and has a firm but soft touch to her work which really put me at ease since I want all procedures to look as natural as possible. Her pricing is reasonable/competitive and I'm so confident in her that I'm bringing my mom to get her brows done next! read more

Can't rave about them enough!! Got my first microblading last year and just did my first touch up last week. Safe to say, I'd trust them with my life I have basically no eye brow hair/it's very blonde, I researched a lot before getting this done, and so glad I found them! read more

I'm in my 50s and this was my first foray into permanent make-up. Lauren was the perfect person to start with! She listened to me and answered my MANY questions throughout the process with patience and understanding. All that AND my brows look fabulous! I'm so happy with them! No more brow pencil for me!! read more

I am so happy with my new eyebrows! I've been wanting to try microblading for years now, yet terrified of making the commitment. I'm a 90's over-plucker who's paying the price in addition to the natural changes that come with age. I did a lot of research and Lauren's name kept coming up over and over again with nothing but positive feedback. I wanted a natural, not trendy or overdone look. The experience was so much better than I expected. The salon is immaculate and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Yet, more importantly, Lauren is a lovely person, incredibly patient and professional. I was immediately at ease. She explained the process in detail and answered any questions I had, keeping me informed as we went along. I won't say it's totally painless (more of an irritation), but I was completely comfortable and relaxed the entire time. I wish I hadn't waited so long! read more

Lauren made the whole experience absolutely perfect! I messaged her a year ago on Instragram and she responded right away. I researched other places and no one compared to Lauren. She is so kind and knowledgable. Her attention to detail is incredible. My daughter and I had microblading done and we are in love with the results! read more

I have been going to see Lauren for a few years now. She is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She methodically plans and then works patiently to ensure the best possible outcome. She is warm and engaging and makes you feel very comfortable through the entire experience. Her new offices are beautiful. They are clean, and well appointed. I am delighted to have met Lauren and wholeheartedly endorse her services. read more

I LOVE MY NEW BROWS!! I cannot say enough good things about Lauren at Inner Beauty Ink! I have naturally thick brows, so I wasn't really sure if microblading was for me, but after a quick consult with Lauren, I decided to do it and I'm SO GLAD I did!! Lauren is very knowledgeable, personable and professional, and she is so good at what she does! She has an amazing eye for detail and made my brows look more symmetrical while keeping their natural shape. I am so so happy with my new brows, and would highly recommend microblading with Lauren! read more

I recommend Lauren for anyone that needs help with their brows, whether your natural eyebrows need some enhancing or filling in OR you have had an unfortunate experience with prior microblading and are desperate to have your brows corrected. Lauren's workplace is immaculate and she is a great listener and wants you to be totally satisfied with the results. She is extremely professional. My story: I had my brows microbladed over three years ago down in Houston, Texas while visiting my brother. They looked very nice. When it came time for the touch up, instead of flying back to Houston, I went to a place in Georgetown, DC to have a touch up. It was a mistake! I was SO upset with was suppose to be a 'touch up', but hoped the brows would fade with time. Although they claimed to take measurements for placement, there were no measurements at all and the Georgetown artist just 'free handed' or 'eye-balled' it. I was not symmetrical and she had not stayed within the outline of my previous microblading. I wanted to cry every morning looking at my ridiculous brows. So after a year I had laser treatments (six) to remove the pigment. It did a good job on removing the majority of the pigment where my natural brows were, but it did not remove the areas where the Georgetown artist had microbladed outside my natural brow structure. That remaining pigment was yellow and very noticeable - especially in day light. Thank goodness foundation could slightly cover it. And then I was BACK to where I started in the first place! I had thinning brows at age 58 that I had to draw on every day, but now I had sickly yellow skin around my brows. After doing a LOT of research, reading many reviews, and working up my courage, I set up a consultation with Lauren and boy! am I glad I did!! She understood exactly what I wanted, so I booked an appointment to have them done. Lauren performed a miracle on my brows and after the first session I felt like I could go into daylight again. I smiled all the way home. Lauren is amazing and I GUARANTEE you will be so happy with your new brows. Now that my new brows are perfect, I will be going back to Lauren to do the saline microblading that removes the yellow pigment around my brows. I am looking forward to the final phase of becoming a new enhanced Me. I am so grateful to have found Lauren at Inner Beauty Ink. Go see her!! read more

Lauren made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. She explained every step and took her time to make sure that the end results would meet my expectations. She is excellent at what she does and has a great personality. I would highly recommend her. J.J. read more

I love my eyebrows! Lauren is very talented and patient! Years ago, I had permanent makeup done on my eyebrows and was in desperate need of fixing this. I often heard that other permanent makeup artists would not take the risk to help fix them. But Lauren had no fear and gave me back my brows! Best investment ever! read more

Had a great experience with Lauren. Her professionalism and attention to detail definitely win my loyalty and more importantly I walked away with my eyebrows looking even more amazing! read more

I cannot say enough about Lauren! I came here to have microblading done to cover a scar and I'm so happy that I did. I looked all over the area for a good artist since I'm very particular about my eyebrows, and Lauren's work stood out the most to me. She takes her time getting the symmetry and angles just right and she really pays close attention to small details to make sure your brows are perfect. On top of being an artist, she's also so easy to talk to. It was like catching up with a friend while she was doing my brows. I can't help but to admire my eyebrows every chance I get, I just love how they turned out!! I will be a customer for life! read more

Lauren was GREAT! I looked at her Instagram feed (and many other artists) before deciding to book with her. Her work is so natural, I knew she was going to be a good fit for the look I wanted. She is a perfectionist! She took her time, walked me through the process, made sure I knew what to expect and made sure I was happy with her suggestions. I've already given several of my friend's her contact info because they are so impressed with her work on me! 100% recommend her. read more

Lauren is amazing! I had scheduled an appointment for microblading on a Thursday and let her know I had an in person meeting scheduled for Friday and family coming to town so she squeezed me in that next day on a Sunday so I could have time to heal. She made me feel at ease at the appointment and explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. I am in love with my new eyebrows! She was also very kind and responsive when I messaged her on Instagram with follow up questions. I highly recommend! read more

Lauren's expert attention to detail, including a reassuring thorough explanation of what she was going to do, made my entire experience amazingly enjoyable. And the results? Magical. She's the best! read more
