    Fully healed brows after the first appointment + touch up appointment
    Melanie D.

    Let me start off by saying I have sensitive skin, so I've always been afraid of getting my brows waxed/threaded/etc. I'm also afraid of pain & commitment so I have absolutely zero tattoos. Karlie is the ONLY person I've EVER trusted to do anything to my brows and I have no regrets! SCHEDULING AN APPT: So easy. I appreciate how prompt Karlie is with her replies. Very professional and kind! LOCATION: Private office with a private lot. No need to worry about parking! There are ample spaces, free-of-charge. CONSULTATION: This is done at your first appointment. Karlie outlined my brows and had me check the shape before she started tattooing. She shaped them EXACTLY as I would with makeup & would only start the actual procedure if I was truly happy with how they looked. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to make sure your brows compliment your face shape. She took her time when drawing out the shape because she is a perfectionist & that's such an important trait to have as a brow artist! PROCEDURE: As a nurse and a germaphobe, I'll tell you right now that you don't have to worry here. Karlie makes sure everything is clean/sterile at all times. The process felt like light scratching and Karlie continuously applied numbing cream to keep me comfortable. She's so easy to talk to and totally made me forget about how nervous I was! AFTERCARE: Before I left, Karlie went over the aftercare instructions with me and gave me a cute little jar of oil to apply to my brows. They fully healed without any issue in about a week and my mornings have been so much easier since! OVERALL: YES, I absolutely recommend. I've already gotten plenty of my girlfriends to get their brows blessed by Karlie!

    Karlie is simply amazing! I love the fact that she is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail because she makes sure that you will be satisfied with your brows. She listens to your needs and is eager to make sure she meets them. She is super friendly, caring, sweet and very good at what she does. She gives you a rundown on how the procedure is going to be and even gives you a little lidocaine cream to ease some of the pain. She makes sure that you are comfortable at all times. Post op instructions given were very easy and straight to the point, so before I knew it I had beautifully shaped brows. I am constantly getting compliments and I have Karlie to thank for that! I highly recommend! ^_^

    Karlie is amazing, knowledgeable, and caring! She answers ALL of your questions, even before the actual appointment. During the appointment, she talks you through every step to ensure that you WILL love your brows. When you first leave the appointment, you may be in shock of your brows.. but trust the process (and Karlie) and it'll all be worth it. I love my brows so much that I got 4 ladies of my family to go see Karlie as well.

    I had uneven eyebrows and Karlie was able to shape and even them out! At first I was scared because I'm terrified of needles but it didn't even hurt! She even applies numbing cream which minimizes the pain. I love having my eyebrows done because it saves me an extra 5-10 minutes getting ready in the morning. Karlie was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable during both sessions! Her prices are great and her studio is super clean. I highly recommended going to her if you want perfect eyebrows!

    It took me awhile to decide on getting eyebrows done. The process that was done was called "combo" which included microblading/ombre brows. I finally decided to go through to get my brows done, and hands done best investment you can make. It's seriously life changing. Karlie(brow god) is so talented, I got my eyebrows done back in october and they still look great. It's such a convenience to have them done, waking up and not having to get them done saves so much time. The shape, color of my brows have such a natural look. I came in and she sketched my brows the same day right before actually starting on them. As I came in I was greeted by the lady in the front and I just let her know I was here for an appt with Karlie, and Karlie came out to greet me and had me fill in some paperwork. Just a quick run down of the procedure. She goes over everything with you as well and is available to answer any questions you may have. I was then invited into the room, cute space. Small but comfy feel. She has bright lights, also always has music playing to help relax you. As for people wondering about the pain, the first 20 mins I'd say were a bit painful. But the 20 mins fly by so quick and the numbing cream starts kicking in and it goes by so smoothly. Keeping in mind I'm not someone who can stand much pain for tattoos, but this turned out a lot easier than I imagined. Karlie is also very patient and asks how you're feeling and adjusts to you if you need. If you are looking into getting brows done, this is who you need to book with, you will not regret it! I'm in love with mine. The reveal of my eyebrows when they were finished was such a great feeling, to trust someone with your eyebrows is nerve wracking but I was obsessed!! It's been a couple months now and they still look amazing. So if you're still deciding on who to see, or getting brows done in general this is your time to book with her!

    Healed brows!

    Karlie is freaking AMAZING at the job that she does. I had been wanting to get my eyebrows tattooed for some time but was very hesitant to take the leap. But once Karlie started explaining each step she would be taking with my brows, I felt very comfortable. We wound up deciding on ombré brows. She took her time when drawing the initial shape of my brows and was always checking in that I was happy with them. Once we were both satisfied, she continued to explain the steps she would be taking before tattooing my brows. I really appreciated the level of communication Karlie had through the entire experience! A few hours went by and TADA, a masterpiece on my face. A few more tips on the aftercare and I was out the door. This helped me tremendously to preserve all of Karlie's hard work. SERIOUSLY, aftercare is just as important as the brow tattooing process! Thank you again Karlie for saving me from trying to create even brows every morning!

    Karlie is wonderful at her craft. She minimizes the pain for you, gives you aftercare, and treats you to a whole brow photoshoot! Her prices are phenomenal for her level of skill. If you're over uneven brows, do yourself a favor and go see this babe so you can wake up feeling fleeky af!!

    Touch up session. I love them so much!
    Rose R.

    Karlie is so kind and amazing at her art. I found her through a friend who got her brows done by her. Setting up the appt was easy and the whole process went smoothly. I just let her do what she thought was best for my brows and I'm glad I did! My brows were so different from each other and I especially hated how my left brow looked. Now I love my brows and have cut my getting ready time in half. I love waking up with beautiful perfect brows and it's all thanks to Karlie! 100000% recommend. She also uses a numbing agent so the pain is minimal.

    Karlie did an amazing job on my eyebrows! I no longer have to feel insecure after swimming or working out and having no eyebrows!!
    Krystal V.

    My eyebrows bare really light. I started to feel a little insecure after swimming or working out since my eyebrows makeup would wash off. People would make comments on how different I looked. I found Karlie online and she did such an amazing job on my eyebrows! Her shop is clean and it the best part is it didn't hurt as much as I thought. You will not be disappointed!

    Healed brows. 1 month after my touch up appointment
    Priscilla L.

    These semi permanent ombré brows have given me so much self confidence and courage to take photos! I was someone who was extremely insecure about taking selfies or group photos unless my brows were filled in because my brows were hardly visible. I knew I wanted semi permanent brows, but was conflicted between micro blading and ombré brows. It took me nearly a year to decide who I wanted to go with, but when I saw Karlie's work on her instagram I fell in love with how my brows could turn out. I contacted her and was scheduled for an appointment within a month. Karlie is very responsive, accommodating when scheduling, and her attention to detail is great. During the consultation don't be afraid to ask questions or style your brows how you want it. I also showed her some previous photos of how I would typically draw in my brows as I wanted a similar style. Personally I chose to go with a lighter shade during my initial appointment because you can always go darker during the touch up but you can't go lighter until it fades... but that takes a while. The healing process was a pain and I would recommend asking or googling the after care instructions before investing and scheduling a date. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I'll also update my review in a year to review how the pigment have kept up.

    Before and After
    Janelle F.

    Karlie is literally theee best!! I've had work done to my brows but my previous artist stopped. But just in time, Karlie started doing brows and omg! Love!! Karlie is honest, and makes a perfect shape compliment to your face. She is so sweet and so fast! She provides numbing cream that helps with the pain if needed, and she also gives a lot of information on after care. She also provided me with some after care ointment which is really nice. As far as her prices, they're definitely super reasonable also considering of how well of a job she does! If you're looking to wake up like Beyoncé and not have to do much in the morning with a super good price then hit her up!!!! You won't regret it!!

    Jenn C.

    I've had my eyebrows done by another artist three times and none of them healed and looked as good as Karlies! Seriously, I thought my skin was terrible because the ink would not sit in. But I gave it another try and Karlie became my saving grace. She made the whole experience comfortable and was very thoughtful with everything since covid. She takes her time making sure that it would come out right. I'm super happy with how it turned out. Highly highly recommend!

    Frances C.

    I love the end result of my semi-permanent eyebrows done by Karlie. I had a correction from a wack job I got done in Virginia back in 2015. Karlie really took her time, measured precisely to make sure both eyebrows are even. I even brought my mom in because she has over plucked her eyebrows for the years. I've teased my mom for having Mickey D eyebrows. My mom also is in love with her new brows

    MAYBE YA'LL EXPERIENCED A LASH NAP, BUT HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED A BROW NAP?!…read more That's right, ladies. A BROW nap. I napped out like a little baby while Thao worked on my brows today. Now, let me explain. I needed to get my brows done. Last time I had them done were a month before I got married back in 2024! It truly felt like eons ago and I got sick and tired of having to pencil in my brows every morning. That's when I discovered Thao. After peering through dozens of different artists, her work stood out to me the most. I saw that her work looks clean, detail-oriented, and experienced. I knew I had to get in touch with her. On the day of my appointment, she really took the time to understand how my brows were shaped and how to elevate my look. She made sure each angle was perfect, and took very meticulous measurements. Once she got started I literally didn't feel anything. The entire experience was so peaceful, calm, and relaxing, so much so that I fell into my first ever brow nap. After maybe 20 minutes, I woke up to beautiful brows on me. She had me sit up a bit to look at the measurements and ensure that no spot was missed. Then she would lay me back down and continue layering while I fell back into my brow nap. I've had my brows done by other artists several times over the course of 10 years, and this experience was the most calm and relaxing experience I have had! Her office also has a very welcoming, clean, and relaxing vibe inside. I highly recommend Thao for all of your brow needs. She is experienced and simply an amazing human.

    I'm leaving this review based on my initial inquiry experience, as I never ended up booking an…read moreappointment. I reached out to Thao last weekend to discuss what I was looking for in lash extensions. We chatted briefly, and I followed up this week to ask if she had availability for a quick call so I could walk through a few questions. I was told she wasn't available for a call and to text instead, which I did. I sent reference photos of styles I was considering, along with photos of my natural lashes with mascara. I explained that I was between two looks and was hoping for professional guidance, as I've had lash extensions done before and haven't loved the results in the past. I was genuinely trying to be thoughtful and clear so expectations would be aligned. The response I received was surprising and disappointing. I was told that I was "too confusing," that I couldn't decide what I wanted, and that I would confuse her lash techs, so they didn't think they could work with me. The interaction felt dismissive and placed the blame on me for simply asking questions and seeking guidance. While I respect a business's right to choose its clients, I was honestly taken aback by how this was handled. I can't believe a business would turn away a potential client in this manner rather than offering guidance or setting expectations professionally. As a result, I'll be exploring other options. Given the otherwise positive reviews, this experience was unexpected and left a very poor first impression.

Most days at 5am, trying to get eyebrows to look symmetrical was such a chore, and I was tired of spending so much time and money on a million different eyebrow/makeup products. Despite my frustration, I was absolutely terrified to do microblading for the following reasons: 1) fear of "tattoo green" looking eyebrows 2) afraid it would affect my eyebrow hair growth 3) it was permanent forever 4) the artist would pick the wrong shape. I researched over 150 microblading artists, even in different states, because it was important to me to pick the right artist for my needs. Then I found Binx! Charlene is a p e r f e c t i o n i s t! She made sure my eyebrows look so natural! Just what I was hoping for. She educated me on everything. Microblading is semi-permanent and typically lasts about two years. Touch ups are recommended every few months as needed. It also does not affect hair growth. My new eyebrows only require minimal grooming. There was absolutely no pain, and the color was perfect! It was so subtle, even my closest friends didn't notice it was microblading! If you are on the fence, Charlene is your girl!
