I really wanted to get microblading done and couldn't find any in my state. I yelped and found the closes microblading which was NC. Which is about an hour and 20 mins away from where I reside. I even wanted to go to Atl but driving 3 hours and 25 mins to ATL wouldn't be convenient if I needed to get a touch up! So I found Holly and she was highly recommended on yelp and Facebook and Instagram. The area where she is located is a very cute area it has housing and apartments with shops underneath. Super cute community. Her shop is adorable very clean, chic and modern. My session was about an hour and a half long. She was very persistent with her work. I loved my brows soooo much. She drew the perfect shape and the color she chose for me it looked very natural once it healed. Got to get a touch up and can't wait to see her work again. If I couldn't give them a 6 Star I would. Her shop is very very clean which is very important! Also she sends you home with instructions on how to take care of your brows and gives you ointment too put on your brows so they can heal faster. The price for microblading is what I expected that's how much it costs to get in LA! Great pricing for her great work. read more

Like many women these days, I draw on my eyebrows (big surprise). I think anyone who knows me, knows how particular I am with the brows. Eyebrows define your whole face! They can give you the sharp polished look you want, or done the wrong way, they can do the complete opposite. I think I've been drawing/coloring mine in for probably six years. I heard about microblading and read a lot about it. When I first did research, I could only find places in New York or other big cities with tons of experience and it seemed to be newer to Charlotte only more recently. This year I got serious about it and found several places in town that did it. All of the reviews were just ok. I wasn't impressed with anything I saw. Then I found Holly. All of her reviews were outstanding and the pictures she posted here and on Facebook were really amazing. I was so excited to finally find someone who I could feel confident about going to. I set up my appointment fairly quickly and waited anxiously for it to arrive. When I got there that day, I'll have to admit I was dying with nervousness. I had no clue what to expect. Holly answered all of my questions and was extremely thorough for the entire visit. She drew on the lines and basically filled them in. Really a very simple process. The first visit was a little uncomfortable at first, but later she added numbing cream which helped. I was so shocked and thrilled with the results, I couldn't contain my happiness. No pain at all after leaving. Over the next few weeks I had some peeling, but that's all. I went for my free one month touch up and I'm not gonna lie....that hurt! Holly was understanding and explained to me that because the skin was still healing it may be a little tender. She wasn't kidding! I am beyond 5 stars happy with my entire experience. From the work, to the price, to the results. I am free from drawing stupid eyebrows and confident in the way they turned out. I wouldn't go to anyone but Holly. I can't thank her enough for the wonderful work she has done. read more

What can I say about Holly and her shop that hasn't already been said? To begin, scheduling is a breeze. The set-up and confirmation of my appointments were all done over email and text. The office is very pretty and calming. Though I was anxious at the beginning, Holly did a great job of putting me at ease. She's a total pro and an absolute artist. I felt confident that she was going to give me a professional, natural result. When she first drew my new brow shape, I asked if she could very slightly soften my arch, and with the tiniest adjustment, she gave me the perfect shape I was looking for. The procedure itself was great. The blading was uncomfortable but not intolerable by any stretch. I was thankful for the numbing cream but you're still definitely aware of the work being done. Once complete, I was given clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to take care of my brows at home. My first touch up came several weeks later, and a warning: The first touch up can hurt much more than the initial blading. Your skin is still sensitive and healing. This is not to scare anyone off, but I was surprised at the difference. I'm around a year and a half out since I had my brows bladed and I can confidently say that it's one of the best investments I've made. To wake up and already have my brows "done," or to go swimming and not have to worry about it is so nice. It's worth every penny. Thanks, Holly! read more

Holly and Lindsey are as professional as can be, they are fast but meticulous. I always get compliments on my brows, and they have made a world of a difference since I started chemo and lost my hair and losing my lashes/brows. Thank you so much Holly and Lindsey I will def be back for touch ups and always recommend you guys! read more

As previous reviews have already stated... I was sooo nervous. I'm a very picky person and researched microblading services all over the area before deciding to go with Holly. She's very professional and the shop is extremely clean and chic at the same time. Worth every penny and I haven't even been back for my touch up yet! read more

These women are really great. Very kind and welcoming. This place is CLEAN. Love that. Great decor. They make you schedule a follow up for microblading so you will be assured you will love your final look. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I originally had mine done in the state I lived in. They were terrible. I drove 31/2 hours to go to Kess Sleeping beauty. Totally worth it!! They were able to take the messed up Brows and turn them into very natural looking brows and gave me a wonderful shape. I rated 5 stars but worth 10 to me. T. Lopez read more

I heard of microblading through a friend and knew I wanted to look into it. I had very thin eyebrows with no arch and have always wanted a change. It can be scary to permanently alter the way your face looks so I did a lot of research to find where I wanted to go. I am so glad I found Kess Sleeping Beauty. I now have full, arched eyebrows. A look I thought I would never be able to obtain. I highly recommend Holly, she is the best! read more

See all

I don't recommend going to this salon. Had my eyebrows done 9 months ago and scheduled my retouch only to find out she won't honor the price she originally provided me with. It's $50 more now and where it may not seem like a lot, for someone who drove 2.5 hours for good affordable work with a decently priced touch up plan, that $50 is a lot! Not to mention the remaining touch ups increased too! UNACCEPTABLE! I understand prices increase, that's life, but be a good shop owner & give the pricing that you provided. read more

I got my eyebrows microbladed here last year. Holly did my initial and her sister Lindsey did my touch up. I just came back for my 12 mo touch up and had Holly again. To say I am very pleased with the outcome of my eyebrows is an understatement. Both were very welcoming, nice and extremely professional. Holly was very helpful with any questions I had while at my appointment and very responsive when I had questions days after. I absolutely love my eyebrows and so happy I trusted both Holly and Lindsey with them. Highly recommend!! read more

They did an excellent job on my eyebrows, and they were very responsive via email! I didn't even really need the follow up visit for my eyebrows either! read more

What I thought would be a good experience here, ended up being my WORST NIGHTMARE! Holly was nice during my consultation, but when I showed her how the inner part of my brows were a little too thin, she immediately became TOTALLY RUDE!!! She went into defense mode, and came up with EVERY EXCUSE possible, instead of doing what's RIGHT...SIMPLY FIXING THE PROBLEM for your paying customer! She CANNOT handle rejections or problems!! In Life, you will always run into a problem at some point, BUT YOU MUST HANDLE IT IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER! She told me that she will not fix it, AND I COULD GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED!! I paid this lady Holly $600.00!! Also you will notice that you can't get back in for 4 to 5 weeks for touch up, Then she will INCREASE THE FOLLOW UP PRICE saying you are out of the return range SO IT WILL COST MORE$$ ... WOW! : ( NOT ACCEPTABLE HOLLY!!: STOP WITH THE (BS) EXCUSES, and FIX THE PROBLEM!!!! read more

Hollie has done both my eyebrows and eyeliner for the past 2 years. I did my research and travel from Spartanburg, SC after I found Kess Sleeping Beauty to be the best quality in a 200 mile radius. The office is beautiful, very clean and relaxing. Hollie and Rachel are both very highly skilled professionals that I enjoy going to see annually. Truly the best in the business!! read more

Holly has done my eyebrows and eyeliner. I'm so thankful I went with her to do them. She takes her time and measures them first and draws them on and asks what you think. She did an amazing job! It's been 2 years and I still love them. I have sent several of my hair clients to her to get theirs done. Everyone loves her work! read more

Holly is friendly, professional and excellent at what she does. I've had these type services before and so far she is the best and at the best price. I'd rather pay more frankly if it's done right but the frosting on the cake is that her prices are extremely competitive. It's easy to get an appointment with her- this coming from a frazzled housewife homeschooler who's always doing things like this last minute :-) read more

Such a beautiful spa-like setting. I had my eyebrows microbladed two years ago and a touch up yesterday. They did a fantastic job! My brows look natural but better! I highly recommend them for any permanent makeup. So professional and not pushy at all. read more

Probably the worst investment I've ever made. I wasn't happy with my eyebrows and it really felt like they were pushing me to accept them. I paid over $550. Every time I look in the mirror, I regret the choice of coming here. My eyebrows are uneven and I was told to "have realistic expectations" and to "wipe the foundation off after applying makeup". I was offered to do a touch up, but I would have needed a follow up to the touch up since they added more strokes to the beginning of my eyebrows - this is when they started pushback even more to not do another appointment. I cancelled my third appointment because I don't want them to touch my eyebrows ever again. The foundation has nothing to do with some of the microblading looking more full on one eyebrow than the other. It's not even so much the eyebrows as it is the terrible customer service and pushback to want to fix them. The picture I am submitting was 2 months after microblading. read more

I am thrilled with my experience at Kess' SLeeping Beauty. Holly helped me articulate exactly what I wanted before she began work. Then with concern for both my desired outcome and my comfort, she crafted beautiful eyebrows and lower eyeliner. I had previously had permanent upper eyeliner applied at another location where the experience was horrible and extremely painful. At Kess', however, I experienced no pain whatsoever! I was ASTOUNDED at how comfortable I was throughout the entire process - and all at a most reasonable cost. I highly recommend Holly as a talented, caring, artist. read more

Holly is amazing! She takes her time and her work is perfect! I drove an hour to go see her and it was totally worth it! My brows are a work of art! I will definitely recommend Holly to everyone I know! read more

Kess' Sleeping Beauty - Before and after touch up appointment (six weeks after the initial procedure) - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Best experience ever! I have no eyebrows, and I was extremely hesitant to get an eyebrow tattoo for fear of looking like I have blocks of color over my eyes. But I gave this a shot. I'm absolutely thrilled with my results! She was extremely patient, thorough, and meticulous. My eyebrows look amazing and natural! And now I don't spend 20 minutes drawing them on every morning. The process was painless. I really expected it to be painful, and believe me, I have a very low pain tolerance! Overall, I'm thrilled! And knowing what I know now, I wish I would've done this years ago. read more

I've been filling in my brows for the past few years, and it's especially difficult because they are not naturally symmetric (one is higher than the other). I'm so glad I came here for the microblading procedure. I'm actually from the Matthews area, so my drive is about an hour long to this salon but it is absolutely worth it! Holly was friendly, professional, and did a beautiful job with my brows. They look incredibly real and I can tell that she pays attention to fine detail. read more

Skipping an eyelash fill is not an option in my beauty book. After relocating from NY, I was on a mission to find the BEST eyelash extensions near Huntersville. Thankfully, I came across Holly at Kess' Sleeping Beauty. Her individual attention to each client, high level guest satisfaction and pleasant smile whenever I come in has me booking my next appointment before I walk out the door - feeling confident and happy with my full lashes! read more

I did TONS of research on places to have microblading before finally settling on Kess'. After all the great reviews I was SO excited to have found a great place, but can say the experience was anything but. I arrived for my appointment & while filling out the paperwork, the girl at the front desk told me she needed to put the numbing cream on. For reference, I had done my brows like I did on a daily basis, just how i liked them & wanted them to be microbladed, however, holly never came out of the back prior to the girl wiping them off. Probably 15 minutes went by & I was called back to Holly's chair. She seemed nice but uninterested. She asked if there was anything specific I was looking for in my brows, I told her what I would like & in probably 30 seconds she had drawn an outline on my face that was nothing like I described & just felt like she put no real effort into them. I told her that wasn't what I was looking for & she was immediately annoyed. I wouldn't say it was arguing, but she was telling me that what I wanted wasn't right & I should do the shape she designed. I was totally open to her suggestions when i arrived, but it wasn't what I wanted or had asked for - & for such a high price, I should be happy with the service.. Continuing with the appointment she seemed to be more annoyed by the second & told me to draw the shape on myself. She also seemed irritated that I didn't have photos to show her of brow examples. I told her I had drawn them on perfectly like I wanted them when I came in & her coworker had wiped them off without her ever seeing them. After what felt like forever, we finally settled on a shape that she still seemed dissatisfied with. I laid back on the chair & after all that time the numbing cream had definitely worn off & it was extremely painful. Reapplication of the cream was sparse & the whole procedure was pretty awful. When she was finally done quite some time later, I did like the look & color of my brows. To add to this already unpleasant experience, when I went up front to pay, the price I was told on the phone a week earlier was not what they charged me. I tried to speak with both the girl at the register & holly who were both fumbling over their words unable to give me a legitimate answer, ultimately telling me 'oh well' & I ended up having to pay $50 more than I was quoted. Fast forward to the touch up appointment which I went to only because I had paid so much & wanted to get my moneys worth out of the experience & also because the color had faded rapidly into a color that nowhere near matched my hair. So a different girl did the touchup & she was friendly but it seemed like the appointment went on forever. At the end the color matched, however after a few weeks it faded yet again. (The color is of course expected to fade but should be applied in a way that it will match when healed.) So now after both appointments & healing time, I still have to fill my brows in everyday so they actually match. The only difference is my wallet is $450 lighter. After all the great reviews here I truly don't understand the experience I had. Very disappointed. read more

I've been filling in my sparse eyebrows since 2009 and found out about microblading a few years ago. After researching pretty much every place in Charlotte, I can across Kess and read reviews and looked at every before/after picture I could find. I got my eyebrows done in March and I could never go back to not having them!! J used to spend hours perfecting them and now I can do them in about 10 minutes with just some eyebrow gel because I like a feathered look! I just got my touch up done yesterday and wanted to leave my review because Holly is extremely professional and amazing at her profession. She takes the time to go over the entire process and is extremely detail oriented. She will measure your brows and draw exactly what she's going to do and let you tweak it if you choose. She goes over your work thoroughly and does an amazing job. I would recommend Kess over and over again. The shop is clean and beautiful and I truly think it's the best place for microblading in Charlotte! Definitely check them out if you're considering having your eyebrows done. read more

I just had my eyebrows microbladed with Holly and she is amazing!!!!! She really takes her time and makes sure your eyebrows compliment your face. I love her attention to detail and her patience through the whole process. I heard she does lash extensions as well so I'll definitely be back for that as soon as my brows heal. Her prices are hard to beat too! read more

At 66 I had to spend so much time on my eyebrow make up, so I made the decision to have the microblading done. I could not be more pleased. Very little discomfort with the procedure. Beautiful results. The facility where it is done is pristine! Holly was a delight! I feel it gives me a whole new look!! read more

Holly is amazing. I never had very full eyebrows and used to fill them in daily since highschool. Once I found her and came in for a consultation where we discussed the procedure and she answered all my question, I was set on coming back. She is very diligent in the way that she measures and prepares everything. Even though the procedure is uncomfortable at first, she did everything possible to make me most comfortable (numbing lotion, a comfortable pillow, my favorite music). As soon as I left I started looking forward to the next touch up session. My eyebrows did fade a bit after the first session but Holly also explained that this was normal and would be better after the touch up. I absolutely love her work and would do it again any day! read more

Kess' Sleeping Beauty - Top: filled in with pencil Middle: natural Bottom: immediately after the procedure - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Awesome experience.. this is the top of the line Studio to get your permanent makeup done. I've had the service done several times at other places before. So I do have a benchmark. The facility is especially relaxing and very clean. Holly is extremely professional. She is a true artist. She is at the top of her game. I was extremely impressed with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone wanting perfection... even though there is no such thing when it comes to Perfection and permanent Cosmetics she's about as close As It Gets. I have had permanent makeup done before and I always ask my doctor for a Valium beforehand just to relax me. I also did the same thing for my visit with Holly. But to be honest the whole experience was fairly relaxing and I probably did not need it. I would definitely go again. read more

Sooo happy!! Had brows, eye liner and lips all done! Holly amazing! I'm over he moon happy!

After extensive internet research, I decided on Kess' Sleeping Beauty to perform my much-anticipated eyebrow micro-blading. I scrutinized her "before and after" photos and was impressed with her attention to detail as compared to the others I viewed online. Holly did such a beautiful job that I immediately booked an appointment to have permanent lip-liner touch up with her. She spent time "fixing" some uneven lip areas that another technician had done several years ago; the end result was perfection! My 30 year old daughter decided to let Holly do micro-blading on her brows after she saw mine; they look amazing too! I plan on letting Holly touch up my permanent eyeliner I had done 12 years ago come January. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holly for permanent make-up or micro-blading your brows! She is excellent! read more

Holly does amazing work from lash extensions to perm eyeliner. She's professional and really takes time to care for her customers.

Holly is very good at adding eyelash extensions evenly! My friend and I just got lash extensions, I feel so glamorous! It's our first time and I was impressed with her patience and how evenly she put on each one. read more

my first appointment with holly in 2017 was great. my brows were beautiful and i was very happy. after 11 months i went in for a retouch and my brows turned out pretty good but faded quickly. i returned about 6 months later because my brows were very faded and really needed to be touched up. this time they looked terrible, after 5 weeks they were faded and spotty. i returned to show holly what happened. holly blamed it all on me, saying my skin had "changed". i am 54 years old and my skin has not 'changed". holly was rude and angry and told me she did not want me to comeback. i was surprise at how unprofessional she was. instead of working with me to figure out what happened, she decided she didn't want to bothered. i don't know what happened to her since my first appointment. maybe she is overbooked or just too full of herself. whatever happened has certainly taken a toll on her work and her attitude. if you decide to have your brows done by holly, just don't complain about anything because you will be blamed for whatever went wrong and left with no option other finding someone to fix your sad brows. oh, one more thing. when i was paying for my last appoint, i was told that the retouch price had gone up $50 although they had not yet updated their prices on their website....insult to injury. read more
