I've been wanting to have microblading done on my brows. Years ago I let a cosmetologist who I…read morevisited routinely do electrolysis on my brows to slow down their regrowth. What I didn't know was that the process was permanent. Then as I grew older and my brows became sparce, I had little more than thin brows. Very thin. I saw a FB ad for Marta on the Island in Venice. I made the appointment and couldn't be more pleased. Plus the service comes up with a free touch up which I had done 6 weeks later. Marta made sure I was informed about the steps for healing: ° at first they were too dark. I had Groucho Marx brows. ° then they seemed to nearly disappear. Yes, I knew this was coming, but I still panicked. ° finally they came back and look good. After 10-15years of pencil thin brows, I now have fuller attractive brows. Marta does use numbing cream 20 minutes before and will ad more if there are any spots that are still sensitive. Marta's treatment area is clean and comfortable. I recommended Marta to many of my friends.

First, I have to say I took some time deciding to get my eyebrows tattooed. I was not impressed…read morewith some of the quality of work out there and was hesitant to go with something that may fade from trend especially since I go with a natural look which suits my personality and profession. I also desires an eyelash enhancing tattoo to help with one less thing in the morning. I looked into Ms. Grove's work and finally decided to call. I told her my thought was to go with filling in the more lateral part of my brows with a powder look however upon sending pictures and discussing my skin type, she recommended nanoblading. We discussed face shape and color however she was very clear this would be tentative until we were able to meet in person and plan out the tattoo. The website was easy to use to register for the tattoo appointment and her in-depth instructions were perfect for what was needed to get optimal color uptake and healing. The day of: Ms Grove welcomed me into her studio and made sure I was comfortable. Upon clarifying any questions about the intake forms, she offered me a blanket and she and I mapped out my brows. This started by cleaning the area and selecting the color that best suited my skin tone. This included my under tones and over tone. We discussed how long my brows should be to make sure I was comfortable and that the angle was appropriate with my forehead and eye muscles and where the angle landed on my brow bone. I made sure to tell her that I was planning on getting Botox as well which played into our follow up appointment. This part took some time and she patiently mapped out the thickness for the brows. Topical anesthetic was applied and after a short break we started the tattoo. The were constant rechecks to follow the pattern of the hair. We then tackled the other side and made sure the thickness of hair was mirrored. We completed the eyelash enhancer tattoos in a similar fashion all the while Ms Grove remained clean, patient, and professional. Minor touchups were again performed on the eyebrows during which time she made sure I was not in pain and applied more anesthetic. The result after the first session was spectacular. As per her warning, there was swelling which was managed with ice and frequent micellar water application (put some soaked cotton circles in the fridge) as per her recommendations. At the follow up, extra layers of hair were placed for a more natural look. All in all, I am elated with result of my brows and lashes and the professional I selected. Ms Grove is honest, clean, respectful and is a true artist. Her passion for this craft comes through in every way she approaches you as a client and I have recommended her to all my family and friends.

I had a very disappointing experience at Royalty today with Maria, the owner…read more When I arrived, I clearly explained that I prefer a natural look. I typically get classic lashes, and if there are small gaps during a fill, I'm fine with adding a fan lash here and there to close them. Maria mentioned hybrid lashes, and I specifically told her that hybrid is usually too much for me. I also said I like a more natural, wispy look. This appointment was supposed to be a fill, and I still had about 70% of my lashes on. After I laid back and she began, she decided on her own to remove all of my existing lashes and give me an entirely new hybrid full set. At no point did she ask if I wanted them removed or if I wanted to switch to a full hybrid set. There was no discussion or consent -- she simply made that decision herself. When it was time to check out, she informed me she would be charging me for a full hybrid set -- well over $200. I was shocked. I calmly explained that I was never asked or informed that she would be removing my lashes and giving me a full set, and that this was not what I came in for. I was respectful and not confrontational -- just surprised and trying to understand. She reduced the price by $30, but it was still far more than I expected for what was supposed to be a fill. While paying, I politely mentioned to the receptionist that in the future, clients should be informed if their lashes are being fully removed and replaced before that decision is made. The receptionist said she wasn't the owner and couldn't do anything about it, which I understood. At that point, Maria came running out and told the receptionist to just charge me for a hybrid fill and told me never to come back. It was completely rude and unnecessary. I never refused to pay. I was never loud or disrespectful. I simply expressed that I felt it wasn't fair to remove someone's lashes and charge for a full set without discussing it first. This situation could have been handled professionally, but instead I was dismissed for calmly voicing a concern. Not only did she lose me as a client, but she also lost my daughter, my neighbor, and I will be sharing this experience with the person who referred me. She does what she wants rather than what you ask for -- and then charges you for it. There are plenty of lash studios out there. I would recommend choosing one that respects your preferences and communicates clearly before making major changes. Avoid this one.

I was a client of Maria's a couple weeks ago. I wanted to try lashes and also have my eyebrows…read moreshaped/tinted-all as a trial for my daughter's wedding this fall. Maria was so nice, patient, and wanted to be sure I was "educated"-understood the process, care that would be needed following the service-took the time to mix tints for my brows and asked my input/opinions on what I liked. I am not an easy client! I have very short, minimal eyelashes on which to glue the lashes on to! I also have limited eyebrows, with hair that grows a variety of directions! Long story short-Maria did a fabulous job! I looked soooo different with the lashes-I wanted to look "natural" steering away from the "spider" look-and Maria did not disappoint! I received sooo many compliments- when given, people we not sure what was "different" but thought I looked great! I intermittently wear glasses, and my eyes really "popped"! I felt like my face was partially "done" in the morning, not needing mascara or eye brow pencil!! I would definitely do this again with Maria!
