I was so hesitant about permanent makeup but after meeting with her, I'm SO glad I've done it and will continue to go to her for touch ups and different services. She has a way of calming your nerves and making you feel so comfortable with the whole process! I started with a Lip blush treatment with her after having had extremely pale/uneven toned lips for a long time. I had to wear lipstick daily. I LOVE my lips now. So much more defined/even toned and they're more pink. She walked me through the entire process, explained what she was doing and was so mindful of checking in with me the whole time. I can't wait for my touch up appointment! I was especially worried about my brows and how they would look. I really wanted something natural. We went with Powder brows. She picked the PERFECT color for my skin tone and the shape she did is incredible. Will let the picture speak for itself. Obsessed with them and I've been getting so many compliments! It has added symmetry to my face. Kristins attention to detail is soo helpful. You feel like you're in great hands the whole time (literally) she is so thorough and tells you everything you need to know for aftercare too. My healing process was all very easy because of her guidance! She is extremely professional and personable at the same time. I asked her SO many questions before, during and after and she gets back to me in such a timely manner with all my concerns addressed. She is so patient and kind! If you're thinking about permanent makeup, reach out to Kristin! This has seriously changed my life!! :) PS- the staff is so friendly and helpful! Not to mention, the space is so beautiful and gives you a spa like experience!

Threading- I am SO picky with my eyebrows and don't trust easily. They're difficult because they grow in long and untamed but these ladies get it just right between the threading and shaping. The eyebrow tint is one of my new faves and I've always been skeptical it would look unnatural but they make sure it's not over the top! Lashes- I can't say enough good things about their lash game! I'M AN ADDICT NOW! I can't live life without them. I always put on heavy eye makeup (shadow and liners) to make my eyes look bigger (I'm Asian). Since I got the lashes, they've opened up my eyes in a natural way so I don't hafta do my heavy eye makeup everyday! Love the natural femme look the lashes give me- got a new job with the confidence (I wish I was kidding lol)! Started with cluster lashes since it was my first time but since they've coached me through the care process I've graduated to individual lashes, which they've advised are healthier for your eyelashes :) Facials- I have fine baby hairs on my face and since I have black hair they're dark. The fonce glow has helped brighten up my face, is super soothing, and makes me feel so clean after! Customer service- both Myra and Sarah are awesome at what they do. They don't suggest stuff just to suggest stuff, but they give recommendations based on the individual. Plus they're so sweet and accommodating. Love them!

I explained that I want light brown and not too thick brows. Unless you wanna have big, huge, bushy brows, this is not the place for you. She doesn't know how to make them thin and shape. They are bushy, giant, and horrible. I kept on asking her to make them thinner, and she was befuddled, and they are still way thicker than I can take. I absolutely hate it. Oh, and not to mention, it was so expensive for the horrible quality that I received ! I was charged $66 for a wax & tint!!!

CMAD was the best place to resharpen my skills as well as learn new techniques. Ruthie and Johnny are honestly the most helpful mentors/teachers I've ever had. They are so patient and genuinely want you to win along side them in this cut throat industry. Although this recent pandemic has slowed a lot of things down, they also have taught me the correct proper sanitizing etiquette when working with a client. I highly 1000% recommend this school, it contains the best programs with a price point you can't beat in NYC.

While both are extremely talented, I really appreciated Ruthie's eye for color, product placement, and breaking down face structures. This is essential (and a great tool) when entering the makeup artistry field, and it's something I still use to this very day! Jonny's attention to detail, hair styling and airbrush skills are comparable to none! He is truly talented! Lastly, what left me truly impressed is their ability to quickly change teaching directions to tailor the students. They can quickly identify your strengths, weaknesses and help you use them to your advantage, ultimately making you a better artist. I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend!

I met up with my best girlfriend and she asked why I had hair on my forehead... And I laughed and said, my love, those are blackheads! So I knew I had a problem, and I wanted to support a local business that would help me find the resolution for that problem. That is how I came across Chen's Skincare and Spa! I loved that I was able to book an appointment online through their website which was clean and easily navigable. They only took one person per hour in the spa which was comforting giving that we are living in times of plague and pestilence. I was texted to confirm and showed up the next day, a babe in the woods, ready for my first facial/microderm treatment! My technician was Hersy and she was very polite and very understanding! She made me feel welcomed after I revealed that this was new for me as a guy who admittedly didn't know as much about skincare as perhaps I should have known! She explained everything she was doing, what the effects were, and she even made suggestions on how I could better take care of my skin. It has been three days since my Gentleman's facial and microdermabrasion treatment and I have never seen my skin glow quite like it does now! Its wonderful and I've received so many compliments! I have fewer blackheads and my skin just feels incredible! I am so glad I came to Chen's and fully intend to return to maintain a proper adult's skin care regiment! Thank you so much Hersy, I look forward to working with you again! -Jason

AVOID this place at all costs! You can see the photos of my final results after the brows healed…read more This spot is also called Gorgeous Metamorphosis Salon. I took a chance with the Groupon thinking that I wasn't losing much anyways, trusting some of the good reviews on here and on Groupon. It was a MISTAKE. I purchased the ombre brows package with touch up. My first session: Sabina seemed nice and straightforward. There was a $55 tax on top of it which I was fine with. The results coming out of the sessions, of course, were good. But this is expected because it's a huge difference from the sparse brows I've had before. I avoided water and sun during the normal scabbing process afterwards. And then two weeks later, I was left with pink naked mole rat brows. I was a bit concerned and Sabina told me the pigment will come back. Four weeks later - nothing. Still naked mole rat brows. She then told me it's perfectly normal and said the final results are after the touchup. Okay, I trusted the process despite all my friends having perfect brows after their first session. I then went in for a touchup. I was 10 mins late to the appointment, this is true but I had texted letting her know I was already walking from the train. When I walked in, there was already another client in the waiting room with numbing cream on her brows waiting to be seen. Frankly, there was some double booking involved and I sat in the waiting room for the numbing cream and saran wrap on my brows for a good 40 mins. I got pretty annoyed because I knew that numbing cream esp lidocaine shouldn't be on for that long because 1) I'm a pharmacist. With the saran wrap, the cream would act like a patch. A lidocaine patch placed for 40 or so mins would change the texture and consistency of your skin, causing it to not take pigment. 2) Another microblading artist who has been doing this for quite a while told me that it should only be on for 20 mins max. 3) I only had it on for 15 mins during the first session and with no saran wrap. When I brought it up to her after 40 mins, she told me it had to be on for at least 15 mins. I was pretty frustrated for being double booked and knew that the pigment would not take anyways. I felt it was pretty unprofessional to be left there like that too so I left. When she tried calling me and texting me to come back and she was highly unprofessional. She was clearly pissed and unapologetic. I went back to her since I thought that if she's right, the touchup should give me the results I wanted. FALSE. It went the exact same way as the first time; great looks after my session but after 2 weeks of scabbing and avoiding water, I still had naked mole rat brows. No pigment, just scarring. I messaged her about it and she told me to wait 2 more weeks. Now it's been 4 weeks and no pigment has returned at all. You can see the final product in the pictures. This was after she PROMISED my brows would be back after my one-month touch up. Clearly she was wrong. Even worse was when I approached her about it after it all, she blamed ME viciously by text for the brown pigment that she herself decided to use for my brows saying that it was my fault that it did not stay. I have no idea how you can blame me for your incompetence when all I did was lay still for an hour and let you do your job. Sabina is thoroughly rude and needs a certification on how to speak to people before she even starts to ruin other people's lives with her scams. Honestly, the whole experience was nothing short of horrific and I can't believe I was sold this idea that she is competent. Now I'm about $300 short and with ugly pink brows. I wish I could get my money back because this was a scam. It was a dire waste of time, hope, and physical pain. It probably would've been more bearable if she actually admitted fault but she saw these fail brows as somehow being all my problem. Go to a real artist, preferably someone who is recommended by a friend. That's what I'm gonna do right now to correct this. Please DO NOT put yourself through this too and learn from my mistake! The photos really speak for themselves.
