    A review of Microblading, Brow Tinting and Waxing Services in 2021. MICROBLADING (3D) I've received so many compliments on my brows and for good reason. Shah does great work. Case and point, today I went in for my touch up because it's expected at the six week mark, but I was rather satisfied with the appearance before doing so. There was very little fading despite my decision to use dark brown over black. Shah, really went out of her way to make sure I was pleasures with the shape, thickness and color selection. In terms of pain, IMO, it feels like lots of paper cuts even after numbing cream is applied. Outside of that, it's a breeze. Until you're in the 7-10 day healing stage where you question why did you do it and obsess over how it looks to others. Scabbing was minimal for me but trying to avoid any moisture in the area when you exercise, garden and wash your face for 9 days while it's healing was the biggest pain. But, in my book, it was so worth the temporary adjustment esp if it means spending less time filling in curly widely spread brows daily! (WFH during the healing process certainly helped with appearance concerns). The hardest decision I had to make was boxy or rounded. Shah's every day price is so low you'd question whether it's a novice but the same can be said about waxing services. RS is priced right. My only feedback and wish list for this service would be for a half sheet of paper with after care instructions or something displayed on the website. I personally couldn't remember the # of days to avoid moisture and apply ointment or how much ointment to apply (dab, pea size). WAXING I love Aanum. She's funny, accommodating, candid and quick. Brazilians are $35, brows are $8, but if you get Microblading done there, it's $5. If you're one who is generally early for appointments, Aanum is great about giving you the option to come in slightly earlier. I've taken her up a time or two and was even able to squeeze in an extra service by doing so. BROW TINTING I've only had tinting done one other place (MADD LOVE in Forest Park) and my experience fell short when compared to there but my brows without question looked better than they did when I entered. But for Microblading, I would've returned to my go to for tinting which wasn't my preference because I was in search for one stop shopping.Thankfully, Microblading has remedied this issue for me. If threading is your thing, it's offered too along with hair services. In terms of location, it's in Lombard just at the Glen Ellyn border off Main Street in a strip mall w/ 7-11.

    I was hesitant to do micro blading for years and Shah made me feel confident due to her many years of experience! not only is Shah amazing, she came in on a Sunday only for me as she wanted me to have them done in time to heal for a vacation. Life changing! 10/10!

    I sent my mom here for Microblading, as it has been awhile since she first got them done while visiting me in San Diego and needed someone local. She has MS so she has lost all of her eyebrow hair, and her skin didn't take well to the old ink so it turned very brassy colored. Shah is an absolute artist! I am blown away by how realistic the hair lines are. The shape is perfect considering she was working with really old lines and ink, and had to cover that old color as well. We both couldn't be happier with the results! This is definitely the place my mom will continue to go for all her touchups! Thank you so much for being such an amazing artist!

    Worst experience ever!!! I had microblading by Shah and she had to deal with the worst customer she has ever had but if she would not have decided on her own without explaining to me how she was "reshaping my eyebrow for my face" and shave off part of my existing eyebrows I would have said I did not want that. The shape that I was born with was just fine, I just wanted them filled in. I Could go into a lot more detail but I won't. Basically I complained and said to never come back. She said she would return the tip I paid for me to go somewhere else! Now I have messed up eyebrows!!!! A bit of clarification... I don't see how waiting can fix one been thicker than the other causing them to be uneven . The previous place was more than 3 years ago and they also did not add to make them closer together, that was all you.

    I am so excited I got my eyebrows done at Red Scissors. My experience was the best customer service and very elegant atmosphere I have had.I would definitely recommend everyone to go there.

    Before

    I went on 1/26/2020. Shah was great. She explained everything with patients. My eyebrows were not symmetrically aligned but she was able to fix. I can't wait for my touch up to see final outcome. Will update

    Aanum is amazing and super fun to talk to, which eased my nerves and awkward feelings while being waxed.

    It just so happened that we were getting out a little bit early from work for the holiday…read more Desperately far overdue for a haircut (= considering the discount spot), I called around to see if I could snag an appointment somewhere. When I called Hairborn, Jillian answered and was super friendly and personable. She got me an appointment with Melissa precisely at the time I needed (since I still had to coordinate picking up my kids on time). It's like the stars aligned! I told Melissa that I needed my fine hair cleaned up, but didn't want to lose a lot of length. I also explained that I needed to keep things low maintenance. She asked about layers, and I told her I would defer to her expertise. And that I did, as she recommended blow drying my fine hair prior to cutting to get a better idea of how everything was going to lay. After washing, she blow-dried, and then also flat ironed my hair, which was honestly a first in my experience. Then, Melissa further worked her magic on cutting and cleaning up my tired, tangled hair. She took her time. It came out better than I was hoping. I'm used to a long blunt bob, but this is a sleek straight 'do. My hair feels fresh, but I still feel like myself. Nothing drastic; rather, elevated. It's always a roll of the dice to try a new stylist, but Melissa is obviously a good listener, is skilled, and is intuitive. There were no product up-sells and no separate shampoo girls. BTW, the vibe of Hairborn is rock/alternative/edgy with extravagant and classy decor pieces. Cool space that seems to celebrate individuality. I was a fan, except for the endless sea of masks on staff and most clients (kind of beta for a spot that screams "unique and edgy"). Luckily they welcome fresh-faced clients, so that was a non-issue. I may have just found my new salon. I'd be interested to try other services..maybe brows when I'm ready to give up the natural look.

    I just returned from the worst experience by a so called wig stylist, Maria, at this place. I…read morecalled over a week ago to make an appointment to obtain a wig and asked several questions prior to making the appointment. I was told Maria is the "expert" wig stylist and that she has "hundreds" of wigs to try on. I arrived early to their salon and was greeted by the so-called wig stylist who only had a few wigs to try on. She told me she had hundreds at home but there were absolutely no choices in the salon. She then tells me she was told of my appointment today and she was not prepared in the least. She was willing for me to order a wig sight unseen and would order just a couple for me to try on. But of the so called hundreds that she has at home, she was unwilling to bring any samples for a future appointment. She wanted me to order instead. Also, when she had me try on the wig, this so-called wig expert, put the few wigs she had available onto my eyebrows. She could not even center the wigs correctly. Nor could she adjust the fit. I being a novice knew more than she did as the so called professional. And, the wigs looked like rags, there was no style to them at all. DO NOT GO HERE FOR WIGS. SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING AND THERE IS NO SELECTION WHATSOEVER.

The shampoo room is literally designed like a mini spa and it is heavenly! Fringe has curly cuts for curly hair and I have also had great color services done here. The one thing I always struggle with here is scheduling, you do have to book pretty far in advance and often I have a really hard time getting a time in the evenings or on weekends. Most available times seem to be during regular working hours which is hard for those with a 9-5. But would definitely recommend Fringe for a great hair appointment and relaxing spa experience. BONUS! They have fresh baked goods and free infused or sparkling water!

Completely unprofessional response you had there too. And me saying the place is "nice" has to do with the environment not your service don't get it twisted. I had my makeup done for a family event- it was a disaster- very unprofessional, the lady who did my makeup, and she call her self an artist doesn't know anything about makeup, ruined my eyeliner, eyebrows, choose wrong colors of eyeshadow and foundation- turned my color to brown instead of brighter colors- didn't even know about how to contour my nose . I had to wipe my fave at home , and redo my makeup again by myself- if you're looking for good makeup artist this is the wrong place to go to
