Stacey does AMAZING work. The only esthetician I'll ever go to again. My eyebrows have gotten healthier and my arch is more defined. Very thorough and uses quality products, so doesn't harm my sensitive skin. I even brought my 87 year old grandmother in for a facial wax and she didn't flinch! You'd think there would be irritation with such sensitive older skin, but my grandmother didn't even have redness after. Seriously, this woman is a miracle worker and makes you feel so comfortable. read more

Stacy has been doing my brows for almost 2 years now and she's completely transformed them! She understands what I need every time and has saved my eye brows from completely falling out. Not only does she shape your brows, but she also taught me how to fill them in. I don't think I'll ever be going anywhere else to get my brows done. I highly recommend Stacy!! read more

I've been going to her for almost seven years, and every single time I sit in her chair I think the same thing -- how is she this good?? She's not just doing brows, she's reading your face. She knows the exact shape, the exact color, the exact everything that suits *you*, and she sees it the moment you sit down. No long consultation, no second-guessing. Just trust. And her hands? Magic. I really don't know how else to describe it. What I love most is the feeling she creates -- somehow calming and exciting at the same time. You walk in, you exhale, and then you look in the mirror and your jaw just drops. Every. Single. Time. If you're new here and reading this trying to decide -- please go. You will not regret a single second. Priscilla is the kind of artist you find once and never let go of. Priscilla, thank you for what you do.

The sterile environment and adherence to strict hygiene protocols reassures me I'm in safe hands. From the moment I walked into her amazing location, I felt welcomed and comfortable. When I returned to Deanna after my first microblading experience with her, I mentioned that I had found the process painful and was definitely dealing with some anxiety. I'm so thankful I told her because she immediately shared that she could do a nano brow treatment instead and that she has a special procedure to help with those of us who have a lower pain tolerance. WOW! What a difference! I was shocked at how relaxed I was and the minimal discomfort I felt during the process. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed and satisfied I am with every service and the exceptional results I achieve. Deanna takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, ensuring that I have a clear understanding of what to expect. Her expertise and attention to detail is fabulous. She genuinely cares about creating the perfect shape and shade for my eyebrows, considering my facial features and personal preferences. Her precision and steady hand is evident as she expertly crafts every hair-like stroke, resulting in beautifully natural-looking eyebrows that perfectly complement my face. I must admit I receive numerous compliments on my brows! I love waking up every morning with perfectly shaped and defined eyebrows, eliminating the need for daily makeup application. It boosts my confidence and the time saved in my beauty routine is invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Deanna for anyone seeking exceptional services!
