I actually chose this place based on being in my Facebook feed, didn't have any referrals or anything, just liked what I saw advertised & went with it...I am so very glad I did. I like the fact that they did a complete consultation over the phone before even booking the appointment, very thorough. Hannah was such a joy to work with, and I feel that she listened to everything that I said, my brows turned out beautifully, there were no scabbing at all, everything healed well, and within a timely manner, and I received lots of compliments on them. The interior of this place is very beautiful, the service was top-notch and they were all very kind & professional. I would definitely recommend them, I'm sure you will be very pleased... I am considering returning for some other work. Thank you Hannah read more

I'm so happy I found this location. I've wanted my brows done for years, but just decided to take the leap. I couldn't have found a better place. Very upscale, clean and professional environment. My brows look so natural and the procedure was pain free. The process was so easy Alanna was friendly, professional and talked to me as she was designing. She made sure I was aware and comfortable with the look. My brows came out AMAZING! Soo happy. I am definitely recommending this location and Alanna for brows. read more

Alanna is amazing! She's very sweet and is a perfectionist! Highly recommend her and Karina Michele Cosmetics!

I got my eyebrows done by Rachel and she did a wonderful job. I am very fair and I was worried they would be too dark but that fear was 100% unfounded because she was very careful to use a light color ink and to not overdo them. The space they have is beautiful, it's easy to park on a side street or in front. Delicious bagels nearby too. Clean, professional, and they seem very open to all kinds of customers. It's an expensive treatment but this place is really good so it's worth it. read more

Just want to drop by, leave a phenomenal review and send a bit of thanks !!! Hannah did my brows recently, worked real hard to cover a not so great 2 year old micro-blade job. I woke up this morning without makeup for the first time in a long time with brows I love, you'd never know there was a previous micro blade job hiding under there. And I know that may seem minuscule and small to those dealing with much larger problems, but for the first time in a long time, I didn't cringe at that first look in the mirror and didn't dread penciling my brows in when I woke up this morning. I love love love them as much as I knew I would and more. THANK YOU !! This means so much to me!! read more

I recently had powder brows done by Hannah and am super happy with how they turned out. She did an amazing job shaping and filling in my brows, and the color looks natural. I'm glad I decided to take the plunge and would highly recommend Hannah and Karina Michele overall to anyone considering it. read more

This place is amazing! Not only is the studio so chic and beautiful but the staff is so nice and accommodating. I had power brows done by Hannah and she spent so much time making sure that they were perfect. First she fills them in to make sure the shape is right and symmetrical and to get the color just right. I was so excited to see the final result and I have been telling everyone to GO SEE HANNAH! read more

Rachel gave me powder brows, and they turned out so natural & beautiful! Thank you for bringing my brows back to life! I recommend her a trillion times over. Very professional & a clean environment. She's an artist! read more

Love Karina and her artistic ability! The thought of having parts of your face tattooed can be a bit intimidating. However, the second you walk in for your appointment you know your in good hands. The fact that she has her OWN artwork on display tells you that she's more than a cosmetic technician, she's an artist, and that goes a lot way in making sure you expectations are exceeded! I've had my eyebrows done, eyeliner and lips! It's great waking up everyday with these features ready to rock and roll! read more

If I could give Hannah 10 stars I would! I've struggled with my barely there eyebrows for so long and in less than 2 hours Hannah performed absolute magic! My eyebrows are beautiful, natural looking and amazing!!!! Thank you Hannah!!!!! read more

Located inside the Edward Johnson Salon in Ghent is where you will find the wonderful Karina. An ODU art graduate, it is clear to see how her passion translates from paper and canvas into the permanent cosmetic realm. I got in touch with Karina over text message just to ask some questions, but before I knew it, I'd booked an appointment, put down my $50 deposit (which is non refundable, but goes towards the final cost, and the touch up appointment 4-6 weeks after is also included). The salon is sleek, clean and very modern. Karina makes you feel very at ease from the moment you walk in and welcomes all your questions - mine were "When can I drink coffee again? When can I next work out, and what do I do with my face when washing it?" I had a few more, but she smiled and explained everything in detail, and provided an aftercare kit. To answer those q's: Coffee straight after the appointment, and no sweating 10 days after - so if you, (like me) just started a new workout plan, put it on hold. Do you want the best results for your brows? Then listen to the after care advice from the expert... Initially, I wanted just the powder brows, but then I saw more before and after photos of her other clients and wanted the microblading. Karina assured me I had the perfect skin to choose either. So, we decided on microblading with some shading. She got to work with drawing an outline and shading template on my face - at first I was nervous. When she showed me the preview outline, it was bold, dark and I wasn't used to it and freaked out for a milli second. Karina put up with my momentary panic professionally and made me feel super calm, telling me it wouldn't look like that after she's done the procedure. I told her I trusted her, we changed the tail just a little to make it thinner, and then away we went with the numbing gel. Glad I listened to her!! Ladies, trust this girl with your brows. I came out of the salon feeling super confident and smiling like a crazy person in just 3 hours (new brows, who dis?) - that is most certainly not how I walked in. I walked in anxious, nervous, but knew I needed my brows to look better and fuller. I even told the girl at the Starbucks drive thru on my way home when she asked me how I was, "I just got my eyebrows done and I'm feeling good!" To which she came closer to stare and started dancing saying "YASSS girl, they look on FLEEK!" I've seen great results on other ladies, and am hoping once the healing process is over, my brows will look even better than what they already do. Will keep you posted after my touch up appointment! read more

I was hesitant to have my first "tattoo" on my face, but I trusted Karina would make my eyebrows beautiful! I decided to go for it after seeing her before and after photos. Not to mention she's an artist, so I knew she'd be great. I am extremely happy with my brows and wish I'd done it sooner! Karina was very friendly and professional, her room was spotless, and she was very good at easing my initial fears. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, it was painless and easy. If you have considered microblading, I highly recommend Karina for it! Trust me, you'll be very happy! ( I didn't have any photos of my brows before so I posted Karina's here) read more

I was referred by a friend to use this business' services but the person scheduling the services was extremely unprofessional. The general feeling I received from the entire exchange was that they were too busy to entertain new clients, sorry not sorry. The whole exchange is also always through text hours, days or weeks later so they may be super busy but a professional business without a receptionist is super scary. I did not go with my friends recommendation but called to other local companies and they were very easy to talk to and schedule services once choosing the one that worked for me! read more

I love my powder brows by Karina. I initially wanted by brows microbladed however, Karina being the professional that she is explained to me why powder brows would be best for my skin type. I felt 100% comfortable with Karina and her abilities. She explained everything thoroughly and did not start my brows until I was completely satisfied with the shape. She was very in tune with my wants; I don't wear a lot of makeup and I wanted my brows to look natural. She gave me exactly what I wanted. read more

My brows had lots of hair but, Bc of overplucking and waxing, the hair was sparse and patchy. I had always been self conscious about them and had spent much time and money trying to find the right products to fill them in...but ultimately I was unhappy w makeup. This is why I feel blessed to have found Karina. I could tell that she loves what she does during the initial consultation. She took her time to explain both microblading and powder brow procedures; I ultimately decided on powder brows and now I have the brows of my dreams! Now, Bc of how much better they look, my family and friends are asking what product I'm using. I have even received compliments from complete strangers who assume my brows are just this beautiful Bc of how natural they look. More important than that...I can finally look into the mirror and be happy without makeup. This is absolutely priceless. Karina is a true professional. Her office is gorgeous and clean. On the day of the procedure she took her time to listen to what I wanted and ultimately found the perfect shape for my brows. I was a bit nervous about pain during the procedure but, to my surprise, it was absolutely painless. This is because Karina uses only the best products all the way down to the numbing cream that she used. It was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep! If you're thinking about permanent makeup I highly recommend Karina. She loves to help people achieve the best look for themselves. Her prices are more than fair for the top class quality of her work. She is a fantastic artist and an amazing person and I will definitely go back to her for any permanent makeup procedure I choose to have in the future. read more

1st picture is the before, and the last 2 are the after. Karina is amazingggg. She's super fun to talk to, she's very professional, and super talented at what she does. I was crazy self conscious about my eyebrows. I came from a time where it used to be cool to tweeze your brows like crazy. Well they never grew back. Karina gave me my confidence back. I recommend doing this 100%. Thank you again Karina! read more

Came to Karina around 2 years ago very nervous about anything permanent on my face! Now I won't let anyone else touch my face! The work she does with permanent makeup and her other services are remarkable! read more

I had my eyebrows microbladed in March from Karina and I just want to say I am SO pleased and happy with my results! I was so tired of taking the time to pencil in my brows everyday. I felt like it took me forever and was so self conscious about them even after filling them in. Karina is so thorough and professional and made me feel at ease. I do have another appointment at the end of the month for a final fill in and once that is done they will be perfect. It's so nice to wake up and have eyebrows! It was so worth the money and will do it again in a heartbeat when needed. I recommend Karina for her clean atmosphere, knowledge and artistic ability!!! read more

I can't come up with the words to describe what Karina has done for my face, my self esteem, my confidence! She is actually an artist and this gift came through when she was drawing on my face before getting started. Her work speaks for itself. From the get go my experience was what dreams are made of. From the beautiful location, her genuine awesome personality. Listen to me. If you are even thinking about getting microblading done trust this woman. She has a God given gift and I've never been so happy to have invested into myself. As a mom of four i always come last. I have been thinking about doing this for the past 2 years, there was always something holding me back. Mostly the cost but i can tell you it was worth it times a million!!!! I'm so excited to try out other services if she decided to add them i would most definitely be back!!!! I can't find the words to describe how amazing she is not only as an artist and business owner but also as a person. Thank you Karina!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place!! I am very picky about my eyebrows until one of girlfriends recommended this place. I'm from the NJ/NY area and I have only trusted ONE lady for about 5 years now - I had to go to VA last minute and I wasn't able to get my eyebrows done. Then came Nina - the place is very clean and she was very professional - she knew exactly what I wanted! If you're in the area and you need someone who knows what they're doing, go to Nina! You will not be disappointed :) read more

I absolutely love my eyebrows done by Karina. She really took time to draw the perfect eyebrows for my face. She is meticulous about her craft and mixed the perfect color for my skin. The process took about 3 1/2 hours and during the entire time Karina was very kind and patient. She made sure that there was enough numbing cream so that it wasn't painful. The powder brow technique really makes my eyebrows looks so natural. Thanks again Karina. If anyone is looking into getting their eyebrows done. Pls let Karina transform your eyebrows. I promise you won't regret it. She is amazing. read more

I just had my eyebrows done by Karina last night and I'm thrilled with my results. She is extremely talented, professional, and so much fun to talk to during the process. She takes so much pride in her work, I felt very comfortable knowing how my eyebrows looked was as important to her as it was to me. The results exceeded my expectations and I would recommend her to anyone looking to perfect their eyebrows; it's definitely a game changer for me as someone who has been penciling/powdering in my eyebrows for 15 years. read more

I ONLY see Nina for my brows! She's the best...No one else can microblade like her. I've was super nervous and she was amazing as she put me at ease and helped me understand the process. She was very honest and helpful and the results were UNREAL. It's so nice to wash my face and still have strong, beautiful brows (makeup free)! The process wasn't painful and she matched the color identically! If you're seriously looking for flawless brows - this is where you need to go. read more
