Would not recommend here given the service. Their admin team are completely ineffective and rude. They don't follow up when they say they will. They charge a $50 consultation fee that is basically a 10 minute zoom. Overall unfriendly and overpriced. read more

Elicia is magic when it comes to eyebrows! I've traveled into Boston several times from the south shore just to see her, and each time she leaves my brows looking lovely and perfectly shaped for my face. I especially appreciate how symmetrical she makes them look since I have a scar running through one of them which makes this difficult. Thank you! read more

I found prettyology after months and months of research on semi permanent makeup. I got the microblading done with Gina. I loved them after my first appointment. The shape was perfect, and they didn't fade so I didn't have to put any makeup on them. I just went back for my touch up and had another great experience, with my brows turning out amazing yet again. With the great service, friendly employees, and lasting results, I would totally recommend! read more

Joe was absolutely FABULOUS. Calm, and clearly talented! He transformed all 3 of us into our perfect selves! Fantastic job!!!!

My wife went here for microblading. Her eyebrows turned out GREAT and the lady (Alexa) who did them is super friendly and very professional. So why only two stars? My issue is with the receptionist(s) who are rude and unfriendly. When we left, the receptionist asked me for a tip, and I said no. After I said no, the complete body-language changed, her face changed into a thunderstorm and she didn't even respond to my "Bye" anymore. This happened TWICE (dame story after the touch-up) and it made our whole experience unpleasant. In our view, we paid good money for the microblading (almost 700 dollars), whereas in other cities (Miami, Los Angeles) it is about half that amount in similar 5-star places, so I expect a good service and should not be 'obliged' to tip on top on that. The owner should replace these girls with friendly, professional, welcoming faces to this business. As for us, we won't be going back to Prettology. read more

Gina is THE BEST! I had my initial consult with her then scheduled my microblading appointment with her for a few weeks later. Let me tell you, this gorgeous gal (with her own perfect skin and eyebrows) has the patience of a saint! First, she is a perfectionist and she will spend as long as it takes to make your brows look like twins (most artists settle for when the brows look like sisters). She absolutely nailed the shape; I felt like she read my mind. Second, my pain tolerance is not exactly high, and she was incredibly patient and reassuring although if I had been her, I probably would've kicked my whining/squirming butt out. Hahahaha Instead, she busted out in song a couple of times to distract me/make me laugh and even tried to find me a stress ball to squeeze (again, patience of a SAINT). Third, I'm only one day out and I have already gotten a TON of compliments on the shape of my brows and have been fielding questions left and right, such as "she made it look like real hair - how is that possible?!" Fourth, she wants to answer your questions, but more importantly, she's honest about colors/shape/expectations; she doesn't try and sugarcoat anything, so you're informed and able to better communicate what you like/dislike. Overall she was just wonderful; I did a TON of research before booking with anyone and I'm so happy I stumbled upon Gina. I can't wait to go back for my follow up appointment in 6 weeks and see the final product! read more

Prettyology - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I went in for a lash lift (perm), and the lady didn't ask me how I want it at all, she just went on and did it. It came out extremely dramatic and I have very thin lashes, I don't think she adjusted the time according to my lashes instead she just went on and did it. Some of the ends of my lashes were very curly and I know it's because it's overdone. I went in at 5 and they close at 6 so I guess she was rushing, nonetheless I was not happy with it at all. She was not careful about my lower lashes so it's now also curled but upwards. Overall she was careless and didn't really care about what I want, I thought she was going to ask me somewhere along the way or she would adjust it according to the texture of my lashes. But no she just did her thing. The place itself was pretty and clean, receptionist was friendly and helpful. But it doesn't make up for my experience because now I have to wait for 6 weeks or so for my lashes to go back to normal, they look crazy right now, straight up 90 degree and it's not what I want at all. Even if I didn't take the initiative to tell her she should have asked me instead of rush it through. I paid around $130 and I can't say it's worth it. I'm sure some other technicians might be great but the one I had was Update: The owners reached out to me and offer to fix my lashes, they were helpful and professional and also respectful towards my review, now I'm just waiting for my lashes to grow out and hopefully next time I go I'll get exactly what I wanted with my lashes. read more

I went to Elicia for the first time today! She's great! I got a tweeze and tint. It's way better than getting your eyebrows waxed! I might actually look into microblading in the future. The saloon is very clean too! read more

Let me start by saying Gina is amazing. Does microblading hurt? In my opinion, yes. Gina did a great job of making me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. She gave me amazing advice on brow shape, and I am beyond pleased with the final look. I went in basically missing half of my left brow, and now you would never know looking at them. It honestly made my whole face look different, like a brow lift! Is it weird that I am sad that I don't have to go back for 18 months?? All the people I interacted with at Prettyology were super nice and inviting during both of my appointments! read more

My experience at Prettyology was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to have microblading done. The office itself is very clean and pretty; exactly what you would want when having a procedure done. I saw Brittany and she is THE BEST. Super nice and professional, she took what could have been an uncomfortable experience and made it enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable and was more than willing to walk me through my options and make recommendations based on her expertise. Brittany worked with me to pick the perfect shape, size and color for my eyebrows, as well as the different methods, and I am ecstatic about the results! I 100% recommend Brittany to anyone looking for amazing eyebrows! read more

I absolutely am IN LOVE with my new eyebrows. Gina is undoubtedly the most fantastic esthetician. At first I was extremely nervous at my consult, but she was able to put me at ease from the start. She's super easy going and comforting making the experience that much more pleasant. I just recently had my eyebrows micro bladed and I couldn't be any happier with the results. A++ experience and work, thank you so much Gina! read more

Gina did an amazing job microblading my poor overplucked eyebrows. She kept them looking very natural. I also went for my touch up during pandemic times and their protocols were great and I felt very safe. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I was really hoping this would be my eyebrow fix. Although my stylist was kind, she failed to finish the job. My eyebrows were not trimmed and she told me they would be trimmed with scissors. They were also not filled in before I left (I went home, re-tweezed and re-tinted my brows). The girl that checked me out completely interrupted me and started talking over me as we were discussing my next appointment. Not impressed. I've had better threading for $12. This is not $60 treatment. Don't waste your time or $. read more

Feeling discouraged after this weekend's facial experience. Two friends and I booked back to back, express "lickity-split" facials on Saturday afternoon- choosing Prettyology due to its incredible reviews. Long story short, once in the facial room, we were all asked what type of skin we have, and were then recommended different options by the esthetician. As we were paying after the sessions, we were told all of the recommended options (such as my mini peel) were actually add-ons, increasing the $100 "lickity-split" to $150, etc. If you're going to suggest a peel, a certain mask, an add-on of ANY kind, it is essential you also make note of the additional charge, at that time. Should we had known the additional charges for these facials, we most likely wouldn't have gotten them. OR we would've booked the $150 hour long facials to begin with. $150+ for a 25 minute facial is ridiculous. After an embarrassing discussion between ourselves, the esthetician and the receptionist, they honored the original price we were quoted. We were EVEN told that the pricing on the website is no longer valid and that express facials aren't something they normally do... wait, what?!!! We are far from cheap, and still tipped 20%, but this was bizarre. We left feeling confused, and the whole debacle completely killed the celebratory birthday vibe we had come for. Not cool Prettyology! read more

If I could give it Zero stars I would. What a rip off. I have a life so I'm just getting around to writing this. I went for permanent eye liner two years ago, spent $850 and got nothing for it. Two sessions weeks apart. Both times, the "excess" pigment flaked off within two days leaving me with no results. Both times I called and emailed. I'm a nurse who actually has experience in wound care. I followed their instructions to the letter. When I expressed concerns about it the first time I was told "everyone has this experience, we're conservative with the first session, you'll get a better result after the second one". I let it go. After the second session, when the same exact thing happened, I emailed and requested a partial refund. I respect the technician's time, so I'm not asking for a full refund, but I need something back. The response was that they don't give refunds but I can have $200 off of a future service. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Do you REALLY think, I'm ever coming back there???? 6 weeks later, I was at Edda Garcia's Permanent Makeup in Avon, MA. I paid $400 and got an amazing result. Do not waste your money or time at Prettyology. There is so much more to the story, (inexperienced tech, no pictures on-line.....) but I think you get the gist. read more

I had my eyebrows done by Jackie about a year ago, and I have to say, they still look great! Perfect color and shape. She's the best!

I was so scared of getting my eyebrows microbladed because I have blonde hair and fair skin. Jackie did an awesome job with them and I couldn't be happier. She listened to what I wanted for eyebrows and also has her expert opinion weigh in to make the perfect brow for me. She is extremely detail oriented which I appreciate because she made them literally perfect. My friend told me I looked like a model about two house after the appointment and when I told other people I got my eyebrows microbladed people were shocked that they weren't my own eyebrows. I'm very happy with my decision to use Prettyology and Jackie and would recommend them to anyone. read more

I am so happy that I found Gina at Prettyology. I lost all my eyebrows due to stress -- needless to say it didn't look very good. I made an appointment at Prettyology and was fortunate to meet Gina. She gave me the most beautiful brows -- but she also gave me so much more -- I was no longer hiding behind an eyebrow pencil that never looked real -- my brows look natural and it is the best thing I ever did. Gina is a consummate professional who also understands the esthetics of the face. Prettyology is definitely worth the trip to Newbury Street. read more

I am so grateful for the service I got at Prettyology. I got microblading somewhere else and was really unhappy with it- the procedure wasn't fully explained to me beforehand and I just didn't look like myself afterwards. I desperately called Prettyology to see if they could remove the microblading and give me my brows back. They were incredibly kind and fit me in that afternoon. Julie did the removal and was very knowledgable. She answered all my questions and was able to fix my brows. I can tell that she takes the procedures she does seriously and it was easy to trust her. She also gave me contact information in case I have questions later. The manager was one of the kindest people I have ever spoken to and made my stressful day so much brighter. read more

I am really into having great eyebrows, and I had been curious about microblading for a while, but when Carly Cardellino's piece in Cosmo came out I knew I had to do it. I did a lot of research to figure out where to go. Prettyology seemed like best place in Boston. I chose to go with Shalyn because of her reviews. I was wicked scared as I went in for the procedure. This is your face - if someone messes it up you are basically screwed. Luckily, Shalyn is amazing. She is the nicest person and explained everything to me. She showed me how my brows would look before doing anything. I loved Shalyn and highly recommend her. Once the brows were done (took about an hour), I was shocked by how dark they were, even though Shalyn had told me that would happen. It was just a sight to see such dark eyebrows. I chose to stay inside and wear big sunglasses when out for the first couple days. But by day 3, the color had gone down to the right color. I love my new brows! I have gotten lots of compliments on them. If you are thinking of getting it done, do it! And ask for Shalyn. read more

Excellent eyebrow artistry in the heart of Downtown Boston. Precise attention to detail and reasonable prices because you get what you pay for and invest in yourself. Highly recommend Julie for her vibrancy and commitment. read more

Got my lashes lifted and tinted and LOVE them. Gina was amazing and so sweet. Can't wait to go back and see her.

I went to inquire about having my brows done. Danielle was wonderful! She did an amazing job, and my brows are perfect! After such success, I had Danielle do my lips. Once again, perfection! I also had my eyeliner done, and it looks gorgeous! All three services look so natural and so pretty. I would highly, highly recommend Prettyology to anyone!,, read more

My rating is solely based on the brow tweeze. The esthetician was nice and all but the work was not worth $40. She cleaned my brows, did absolutely zero defining/shaping. She could've at least left them symmetrical. Ten minutes of your time for $40 AND they ask if you'd like to add gratuity? That's a joke. For me to leave dissatisfied? I dont think so. read more

i finally found my eyebrow artist! i tried some other eyebrow places on newbury street and was always disappointed with the results. i thought maybe i would just never love my brows, but all that changed when gina came into my life. she is a magician with tweezers, and she just rocks - not only are my eyebrows the best they've ever been, but i also genuinely look forward to my appointment. highly recommended! read more

Micropigmentation is probably the best thing I've ever done for myself as far as beauty is concerned. I've been seeing Julie Michaud for years now, ever since I saw the most perfect eyebrows on a lady and asked her what her secret was. Julie is a true professional. She's an artist with an eye for esthetics and a passionate perfectionist. I have brought so many of my friends to Julie and they all love me for it. There is absolutely no reason to be hesitant about this. Go and look fabulous, glamorous every day. Besides, the salon is gorgeous, the crew fun and friendly, and it's on Newbury Street where a great glass of champagne can be found to celebrate afterwards! read more

LOVE my eyebrows every time I go to Prettyology, but they almost never answer the phone! It then takes a few hours for them to return my call and sometimes it's me who has to call back again to get a hold of them. I've called twice today and have yet to hear back... This is not the first time that this has happened. read more

I had eyebrow microblading done by Shalyn last week and I could not be happier. I was a little nervous before the procedure that my brows wouldn't look natural but I trusted the excellent reviews and posted photos, and they did not disappoint. The procedure was nearly pain free and the healing process was very easy. Shalyn did an awesome job with the shape and color of my brows, and I love not having to pencil them in every morning! My only regret is I wish I had done this sooner! read more

Microblading- after my first visit I left loving my new eyebrows. They were full and I lived the shape. A week later they were completely gone. I didn't worry too much as I had a second visit coming up in a few weeks. After that visit I left with very thinly shaped brows. Completely different from the first visit. A few weeks passed and they were almost not visible again with just an extremely thin line here and there. I now spend more time doing my eyebrows everyday than ever before as they are now different shapes. Almost $900 down and In worse shape than they were before I went there. Extremely disappointed and annoyed. read more

I heard about Microblading from a popular YouTube personality, the only problem was I live in Western Ma and the only artist around me did the old fashion tattoo eyebrow with a gun. No bueno! So I researched and book an appointment at Prettology. After two reschedules I finally had my session this past Friday! After a 1 hour and 45 minute drive I arrived at the salon. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist I waited no more than 20 minutes (I arrived early) when Wendy was ready to see me. Wendy was fun, intelligent, and I felt completely at ease. She has mircrobladed many women with deeper skin tones and was completely at ease with handling my crazy brows. Wendy did a thorough job of explaining the process and answering my questions. Then she meticulously drew and measured the appropriate eyebrow shape for my face. During the session Wendy was very convivial which helped as the session flew by. At the end I was given my after care instructions and some salve to bring home. I'm on day three of the healing process and things are going great. I can't wait until my follow up to see Wendy once again and finalize my brows. If you are a woman of color in MA consider taking the trip to the salon and ask for Wendy it is totally worth it. read more

This review is for brow shaping. A warning to any client that books with Julie or Shalyn: make sure you ask about their prices when you book! Since they are more experienced, they are significantly more expensive than the $40 advertised for typical services on the website and your receptionist may not warn you at the time of booking that you could be paying $25 or $95 more for their services. I booked my second appointment with Julie based on the extremely positive reviews here on Yelp. When I booked, the receptionist did not mention she had a higher price. Flash forward to the appointment when I'm checking out and he tells me that her price is $135 ($95 more than what I paid at my first appointment with one of her colleagues). I was completely shocked. The receptionist kept repeating something along the lines of "I'm sorry. I assume that anyone calling to ask for Julie knows how expensive she is." After some discussion with the receptionists (but not Julie), they "did me a favor" by reducing the charge to $65, which is Shalyn's price, and providing a discount on the product I was buying. That evening, I spoke with Julie by phone about having the studio be more transparent about the different pricing tiers when clients book appointments. I appreciate that she took the time to call me back to discuss the problem and train her staff about this issue. With respect to the quality of the service provided, Julie did a good job on my brows, but it wasn't noticeably different from what her colleague did a few months ago. Julie was also 35 minutes late for my appointment because of complications with a client's permanent brow tattooing. On the plus side, their studio is bright, airy, and comfortable. They offer you beverages while you wait. I'd like to go back and give the standard brow shaping another shot. read more

This place is amazing. Everyone is so professional. Finding a salon for specified services that do GREAT work is so hard to find these days. I had an appointment for 3D Micropigmentation back in August and went for my touch up with Shalyn. She's AMAZING. Not knowing what exactly it was that I was getting myself into - she explained everything step by step and made sure I was comfortable and that I liked the results. I don't like the results - I'm quite frankly obsessed with my eyebrows now and have the confidence of getting out of the house without worrying about drawing them in. HIGHLY recommended!! read more

BRAVO to you for donating masks! You are all angels from Heaven and deserve the best kind of review!! Thank you!!

They treat their clients very poorly, are over-priced and money hungry. I was a top client for years and will never ever go back.

My eyebrows have a nice shape, but came out much thinner than I had wanted. I'd been growing them in for months, which I'd told the woman who did them. Disappointing because I'd had them done about two months before almost, and the woman did a much better job for less. read more

Have had my brows tweezed and tinted here a few times. Always good results. If I'm not happy with something the girls are more than willing to try to fix it. They do a great job. Worth the price. read more

I did a lot of research on microblading my eyebrows and settled on Brittany's work from the gallery of before and afters. I'm fair skinned with freckles and wanted to be sure I had just the right person do it. Brittany exceeded all expectations and was well worth the hour drive to Newbury Street. Color, placement and shading were fantastic and for first time in 47 years I have a brow ARCH. Been getting compliments daily, her work is exceptional. read more

Today I saw Shalyn for eyebrow micropigmentation. She did an amazing job. I have ALOPECIA and had very little left of my eyebrows. I can't believe how natural the outcome is! She is a true artist. I am thrilled to have my brows back and looking better than they ever have! To say I'm over the moon would be an understatement! read more

I just went back to see Shalyn for a touch-up on my brows, and realized that I probably didn't write a review last summer when I originally went to her for micropigmentation. Shalyn did an amazing job on my brows, being very thorough and asked for my feedback throughout the process to make sure I was satisfied with the shape and color she was giving me. She was also super personable, so not only did she help me feel at ease, but helped turn what could have been a very uncomfortable afternoon into a really enjoyable experience. And the best part of all is the amount of time I've saved over the past year, not needing to draw eyebrows every morning; and my brows never smear off when I pulling off hats, my bike helmet, pullovers, etc. This was the best investment I could imagine, I can't recommend it enought! read more

The full experience at PRETTYOLOGY is just wonderful. My visits are for very simple brow shaping and tinting. It's always a pleasure. The entire staff offers the same amount of hospitality, professionalism and expertise no matter if the visit is for brow shaping or something far more important as micro-needleing & scar camouflage following surgery. read more
