What customers said about eyebrows
I had Microblading done by Jeanette .She does beautiful work and I would highly recommend her.
I was highly recommended to Eliana by my sister (her brows look amazing) for micro blading and I had to see for myself. I received a touch up micro blading from Eliana (I have had this procedure done before) and she was professional and precise. I was very specific with my color choice, extended brow length along…
Loved my experience and my eyebrows. Truc did a fabulous job. I recommend her for anyone looking to have their eyebrows done.
From my 50’s to now late 70’s I have experience with 3 permanent cosmetic artists. Jeanette Wirtz is the 4th but she’s number 1! Her work is the best. She’s professional and kind. She made me feel important to her. She doesn’t do a “one style fits all”. I look like “me”. The younger me (with eyebrows). Jamey R. 😊
Jennifer Wilken is amazing! I have been working with her over the past few years restoring the appearance of my eyeliner and eyebrows after losing my facial hair from the moisturizing product Clinique I bought from Macy's. Jennifer did such an amazing job and has given me my confidence back. I highly recommend her!
Lost part of my eyebrow due to skin cancer. It was uneven and pulled over as well. Jennifer worked a miracle and was able to make it look even and match my other eyebrow hiding my scar. I am so beyond grateful for the work she did.
