    Tracing on the appointment day
    Nancy A.

    If you want to get you brows done you DEFINITELY have to go to Andrea! She is just AMAZING at doing brows. I went in for a free consultation on a Tuesday and she mapped out what my brows would look like. I opted for the microshading so that my brows would be a little fuller and less work having to fill them in the mornings. Once the shape was settled Andrea scheduled me in for the following Saturday. The process itself is minutely painful, I'd say about 3/10. The appointment is pretty long, but you can't rush art!! The healing process went just as Andrea described. She was readily available by text when I was scared of my eyebrows seemingly not getting to the peeling stage. I still have to go in for my follow up appointment and I will update my review then!

    Fully healed
    Arbiona T.

    Felt so comfortable with Andrea. Besides being amazingly talented at what she does, she is cool, down to earth, and calm. I love my eyebrows and don't have to worry about them. I go everywhere without makeup now which has helped me in so many ways from time efficiency in the mornings before work to using less products. You have to find street parking but you will probably see her 2x within a span of like 8-10 weeks so it's not a big deal. The healing process was painless for me besides some itchiness and now they have healed beautifully after my touch-up.

    First, if I could just begin by saying that if I could give "the brow healer" a 0 star review I would!!! The procedure I was going for was powdered brows! I'm going to admit I peeled the smallest piece of the tail of my left brow. However, that part isn't even the issue. Apart from that I followed all instructions given to me. My eyebrows are TWO completely different shades! I would continuously tell her there was no pigment in certain areas and she would tell me "no the color will come in" and guess what? IT NEVER CAME IN! FIRST SESSION: mind you I would look at my brows and tell her if she could add more color and she would tell me no! That she could see color in the areas I couldn't! 3 days later (healing) my right eyebrow had a scab and it lifted up and had absolutely no pigment. You'd think I never went to get my eyebrows done! All scabs came off by 6th day. There was little to no pigment on either of my brows. I contacted "the brow healer" and she said its normal for there to be no color AT ALL! And that with the touch up it would fix every imperfection. FIRST TOUCH UP: she said with this session there will 100% be pigment under the scabs. So, same right eyebrow scabbed by the 4th day and again NO PIGMENT. Both of my eyebrows had no pigment in the beginning of the brow and the tails (both). At the end of the session I pointed out to her that I felt like there was places that she didn't touch up. And she would tell me the pigment will come in. But it never did. I texted her 4 days later and She and I came to an agreement of when I can go in again for a second touch up. 2ND TOUCH UP: I then texted her again 10 days after this session letting her know that they fully scabbed and that I felt like they needed to be darker and that my right brow is lighter than my left. I GOT NO RESPONSE. She even told me herself at this appointment that their was pigment missing and she wasn't sure why the eyebrows looked the way they did after the first touch up. She touched me up in this session in less than 45 minutes. Which normally it would take her an hour and 30 minutes. She told me that in this session she wasn't going to go deep enough because she felt that maybe that's what would be best? How would have the pigment retained in my skin if she wasn't going deep enough? At the end of this session AGAIN I told her that my eyebrows had no pigment in the front of my brow and that they looked too separated. She kept saying the color is there that when she stretches my skin that she can see color. However, I told her to please add more pigment. She only passed the machine for not even 30 seconds. 14 days later I texted her again that they peeled. I like the shape, but my eyebrows are not the same color and they're patchy in some areas. I texted her letting her know that my right eyebrow looks lighter than my left. NO RESPONSE. I text her AGAIN 2 days later. NO RESPONSE. Then I call her 2 days later. NO ANSWER! Then I call the studio and they asked who I was and put me on hold. Then told me to contact Andrea on her personal cell because she rents out her own room and is her own business. And if I don't have her number then I was screwed because the person who answered didn't have the number either. I texted her after the incident. Asking if I should schedule a touch up without her herself giving me a date. NO RESPONSE! A few days later I filed a dispute to get my money back because I was getting no response. I had to go to another artist to FIX HER HORRIBLE ART WORK. So they credit me back and said that if the merchant responds within 90 days they will take the money again. So guess what? She then responds to the claim stating that the work she did was "GOOD and delivered in GOOD CONDITION" which is obviously not true! But mind you she couldn't respond to my text or calls but could respond to a dispute. ITS CLEAR ALL SHE WANTS IS MONEY AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT A CLIENT WHO FEELS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!

She exceeded my expectations. I love my results. Everything looks so natural and suits my coloring & features. I got exactly what I wanted! She really listens, is a perfectionist, a true artist, and you can tell she cares. She made me feel at ease & the results speak for themselves. Any question I had, she answered thoroughly, if I had a question even after our session, she replied in a timely manner. I am very happy with both my experience and results from Elsa at Flawless. I highly recommend her as I have had other friends go elsewhere in the past, who did not have as good of an experience. I did a lot of research and waited some time before selecting my artist, & I am glad that I chose Elsa! Her facility is clean and cute, and the garage parking available made things more convenient too. You can't go wrong with my artist Elsa at Flawless. Thanks again Elsa!

    There are moments in life when someone walks in and changes everything…read more For me, that person is Elsa. Five years ago, a chemical peel left me with a severe burn and a raised, colorless scar in the very center of my face. It is impossible to explain what that does to a person's spirit. Every conversation, every photo, every glance in the mirror became a reminder of something I desperately wished I could hide. I stopped recognizing myself.I stopped feeling confident. Some days, I even avoided looking people in the eye because I was so ashamed of how visible it was. I tried to fix it. I flew twice to a well-known clinic in Beverly Hills hoping for relief. While there were small improvements, the reality of traveling back and forth from Chicago made it impossible to continue. Then I found Elsa and my life truly began to change. From the moment we met, she wrapped me in a sense of calm and understanding. She listened to me in a way few people ever had. I felt seen, not just as someone with a scar, but as a person who had been carrying years of hurt and insecurity. My scar was stubborn. It didn't respond easily. But Elsa never once made me feel hopeless. Her patience, her determination, and her belief that we would get there never wavered, even when mine did. And somehow, she did what I had started to believe was impossible. Today, the scar that once defined my reflection is barely noticeable. I look in the mirror and feel relief instead of heartbreak. Elsa didn't just camouflage my scar. She gave me my confidence back. In so many ways, she gave me my life back. There are truly no words big enough for the gift she has given me, but I hope she knows I will carry gratitude in my heart forever.

I went in and was greeted by Catrina and Lucia. The overall process did take longer because Lucia was being trained but I didn't mind at all. I arrived at 1pm and left at 4:30. It was reassuring to hear all of the proper steps and procedures necessary to do a great job. They took their time finding the right color and measuring my brows. I felt confident they knew exactly what they were doing. I will say, I have a high pain tolerance, and this was very painful to me!! But well worth it. My brows turned out beautiful! I will be back for more permanent makeup and recommend asking about being a model to receive discounted services!

    **** Response to OmSpa response*****…read more yes, I waited with this review... - I wanted to make sure tissue was healed and I was 100% sure that results from OmSpa procedure will not improve. Only then I scheduled an appointment with new clinic. Then I waited for results of new treatment. And when treatment itself, healing and results were dramatically different I posted review this review. Did not want to rush with a bad review if results were same as OmSpa. - My tissue was the same for both treatments; both treatments were applied in same area. OmSpa procedure was extremely painful, recovery was extremely painful, and yes, I continued because I paid a lot of money to you and it was implied that it's my skin not technique. New clinic - essentially no pain during treatement, and amazing immediate recovery. And I understand you want it not to be that -but difference was technique

Also, she charged me $1,000.00 for subpar work and if you're not happy with her work, she charges you when you want her work corrected. She is a scam. Please do not use her for brow services. my eyebrows were lopsided when she finished. I spent additional money having to fly to Dallas to an expert who erased her sloppy work, which cost me an additional $750.00 for 3 different sessions to clean up her mess in addition to airfare expenses for 3 trips.

Not knowing this I contacted her because I had some bad microblading done on my eyebrows yesterday and was freaking out and in desperate need of professional advice. She responded to me, FROM HER ICU BED, and has been giving me detailed instructions on how to manage the correction. If this isn't compassionate professionalism, I don't know what is. I'd give her ten stars if I could. I look forward to having her do my eyebrows the correct way once she's healed. Keep fighting the good fight, Lana!!!

    As a woman, it is rare to find someone you trust with all of your beauty care needs. I met Lisa…read moreover 5 years ago and instantly fell in love with her impeccable style. Once completing my bridal make-up trial with her, I realized she not only had great taste, but an amazing talent. Since providing me with the wedding day make-up of my dreams, I have gone to Beauty Crew for my microbladed brows, facials, make-up by Mylene, and chemical peels. They are truly my one stop shop to make me feel beautified. When you trust someone to tattoo your face, it says a lot about their abilities. I highly recommend them for any beauty service. Considering multiple friends of mine have since had their bridal make-up and microblading done, I'd say everyone agrees!
