I originally went to Lucy Harutunian for eyebrow microblading. Permanent eyeliner was her…read morerecommendation, not mine. She told me it would enhance my eyes and carefully drew a beautiful pencil design that looked elegant, symmetrical, and flattering. I approved that exact design because I loved it. What Lucy permanently tattooed onto my eyes was completely different. The final eyeliner did not match the approved shape, thickness, symmetry, placement, or direction of the wings. One side was noticeably thicker, the wings were uneven, curved, and sharply angled upward instead of extending outward like the approved design. I am uploading photos of the original drawing and the healed result so people can compare them for themselves. The appointment itself was stressful from the beginning. Lucy arrived about 30 minutes late, then rushed through my appointment because she needed to move on to her next client. Permanent eyeliner is an irreversible procedure that requires patience and precision, yet I felt hurried the entire time. At the end, she told me she needed to start with her next client. After paying $1,287.50, I found that incredibly unprofessional. I also had a significant reaction to the numbing cream and my eyelids became visibly swollen. Instead of stopping and rescheduling, Lucy gave me Benadryl, waited briefly, and continued tattooing my swollen eyelids. She repeatedly adjusted the lines while my eyes were swollen and even asked me technical questions about placement, although I was relying entirely on her professional judgment. The worst part was how I was treated afterward. When I explained that the healed eyeliner looked nothing like the design I had approved, Lucy repeatedly interrupted me, became defensive, dismissed my concerns, and refused to take responsibility. She actually told me, "I can't deal with this right now," and "Your problem is that you're too much in your head." I was not "in my head." I was trying to explain that I had been permanently tattooed with eyeliner that looked materially different from the design she had personally created, shown me, and asked me to approve. Instead of acknowledging the obvious differences, Lucy blamed my eyes. She told me I had "hooded eyes" and even suggested I get an eyebrow lift. My eyes were exactly the same when she examined me, recommended permanent eyeliner, and drew the original design. If my eye shape supposedly made that design impossible, why recommend the procedure and ask me to approve it in the first place? I contacted her office immediately and reported the same concerns from day one. This was not buyer's remorse, poor healing, or pigment retention. My skin accepted the pigment perfectly. The problem was that the permanent eyeliner Lucy tattooed was materially different from the design I approved. Because of her work, I was forced to undergo multiple painful laser eyeliner removal treatments near my eyes. I spent additional money, had to cover the bright red discoloration with heavy makeup, sought independent professional opinions, and endured months of embarrassment, anxiety, stress, and emotional exhaustion. What makes this even more disturbing is that Lucy attempted to rely on her "non-refundable" policy instead of taking responsibility. That policy is meant for pigment retention, healing, or how a client's skin responds, not for tattooing something materially different from the approved design. A non-refundable policy should never excuse a service that was not performed as represented. Please don't rely only on carefully curated social media photos. Compare my approved design with the final result. I deeply regret trusting Lucy Hart Ink and would never recommend this business. This has been one of the most upsetting, humiliating, stressful, and emotionally exhausting experiences of my life. The photographs speak for themselves.

She definitely gave me some tough love and I appreciate it so much. When I don't get constructive criticism I do not feel like I am learning. No one should be getting "oh you're doing amazing" at every point of your beginning lip blush career. I need that instructor to point out all my flaws and that's when I can do better. I went to her because she isn't someone to sugar coat anything and I love that she tells it as it is. That's when you know they truly love to help you and make you as great as they are! I am sad that she is no longer training students starting this year but she has worked so hard to get there. I look forward to the day I can do the same!

She is an absolute dream to work with. Let's start with her work which is absolutely astounding!! Her lip blushing technique is extraordinary. The color is so beautiful and even with such a beautiful natural result. Natasha is a perfectionist when it comes to her work and you can tell by being around her that she takes her work very seriously and is 100% dedicated to her passion and her clients. She will take her time to perfectly outline your lips and make sure that you are happy every step of the way. Natasha is kind and attentive throughout the whole procedure keeping you informed of every step and taking every precaution to make sure everything is done safely and that you are comfortable. The pain level for this procedure is bearable and it's not too uncomfortable. The results of the lip blushing procedure are well worth it and I have the most perfect tint on my lips now and I am so happy with my results. At first I didn't know exactly what color I wanted and trusted Natasha with picking the color herself. I just told her I wanted my lips to look healthy and juicy with my own natural color just brighter and she did just that. I get so many compliments on my lips now and they look healthy and not pale or white anymore. I would 100% recommend Natasha to all my friends and family I trust her completely. There is no other artist I would trust my face with.

For something you pay good money for, that kind of quality is unacceptable. The final straw was going back yesterday to fix two nails from a set I had done just last Saturday. Less than a week later, two nails were already gone. We couldn't match the original color, so now two nails are a slightly a different shade. She didn't even bother to make them symmetrical. When I asked if she could at least paint the same two nails on the other hand so they would look intentional, she told me, 'Sorry, I can't.' After driving from Santa Clarita and giving her multiple opportunities, I can confidently say it was not worth it. The work does not last, the attention to detail is lacking, and the service when there's an issue is dismissive. I would not recommend.

I always thought threading was the best option in terms of precision. I'll admit, when I first inquired about pricing, I was a bit taken aback because it was definitely more expensive than what I was used to paying for threading. But I decided to give it a try to see if it was overpriced or truly worth the investment. I can say without a doubt it is absolutely worth the cost. I met with Jessa for a consultation, and I was amazed by how incredible my brows looked after she waxed, tweezed, and tinted them. She is so gentle, and I barely felt any discomfort compared to threading or other waxing experiences I've had. My brows have honestly never looked this good. I don't wear much makeup, but I know how important brows are in framing your face, and Jessa gets them perfect every time. I've now been coming here and seeing Jessa monthly for the past few months, and her skill and attention to detail are consistently outstanding. This place and especially Jessa is worth every penny.
