Carol is knowledgeable, honest, supportive and a true expert in her field! I had my eyebrows done by someone who had received high stars on Unilocal,however… They were used to working on asian skin and failed to mention their VERY limited experience with caucasian skin(I’m a red head). Carol helped me, gave me excellent advise and made me feel a lot better. Before you go anywhere, for permanent makeup, you should see Carol. Her prices are very fair and like I said before she is knowledgeable, an expert in her field and honest!

I just met with Carol in regards to removing my old Eyebrow Tattoo and I would just like to say that I have never met such an honest and pleasant person in the beauty industry. She could’ve easily made a lot of money off of me because at this point I was willing to pay just about anything to have my old tattoo removed. But she told me since I plan on making my eyebrows a little bit thicker that there’s really no point in having the old tattoo removed since it had already faded quite a bit. My tattoo artist can just tattoo over it and it won’t show especially if I try to do the hair stroke method again. I really appreciate this type of honesty because I’ve met with many people previously who offered to try to camouflage the old tattoo which now I know was the worst thing you can do because that doesn’t actually remove the tattoo and can bring out a bunch of nasty colors to the surface. Thank you so much Carol! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family.

Oh but where to begin… I first found carol after a bad eyebrow job. I went to a Vietnamese place and the strokes were too thick, too dark, and WAYY too BOLD. The beginning of my brows didn’t even look like hairs, they were so bad I cut my bangs. The place told me that they would scab and then lighten up. Ummm no. They did not lighten up much. I missed my old eyebrows so much i went online and found Carol, her website is amazing! I sent her an email and she was upfront, she asked for pictures and was very clear about lightening and what could go wrong. My only fear was that the ink would turn green upon lightening which is something she mentioned before we began the process. Anyway, I took the risk and saw her and the ink didn’t turn green! Upon the first session i could see the dramatic fade. Shes reasonably priced and she is the sweetest person. Carol is an angel to the permanent make up community! She’s heaven sent. About 4 sessions in and my eyebrows are so beautiful again, I’m still going in for one last session to seal the deal. To give you a background of my eyebrows, they have hair i was just being lazy and wanted to stop filling them in every day and so I thought that permanent make up would do the trick. ITDID but it was overdone. I still have the ink there but its faded dramatically. If you have a bad eyebrow job go see Carol, you will not regret it. Thank you a billion Carol you’re the BEST in the game.

I used Carol to reshape my evebrows and tattoo them, the eyebrows were reshaped fine, however since I had a little scar tissue in parts of my brow she used a new technique to push the color in and now I’m more scared and the hair is gone from those areas never to return, I tried to call and email for a follow-up appointment and she NEVER returned any of my calls for the«follow-up» appt. Beware of any technique that is not the tattoo machine it will ruin you brows!!! Oh did not mention that the tattoo lasted about 2 months, NOT3 – 5 years like I was told, over priced for what was done.

Amazing is all I can say. Carol knows her stuff. She is the best in the business, of that I’m sure. She is honest and up front with your consultation and will let you know if you you’d be wasting your money on her services, which is rare. She did an amazing job with my brows. It’s a joy to not need brow makeup in the morning and saves me loads of time. The process is close to painless and I can’t thank her enough!!!

Hey Y’all, I started to get tattoo removal with carol 5 weeks ago. she is patient, relaxed, and lovable. Her place is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. I have had one session and have seen a noticeable difference in color, it’s gone lighter(my eyebrows). I have a another session in two days. Sessions are 5 weeks apart. and $ 120 a session. So far so good. Hope this helps for those who are freaking out about their brows, anything can be fixed, I promise. UPDATE: Had my fourth session, 5 weeks apart, I can not believe the difference! my eyebrows started with dark brown/black, and now they are a faint very very light gray. Their so light to a point I’m using make-up to darken and reshape them without feeling limited. I still have few sessions to go, as I want them fully removed, I’m very happy with the result.

Love this lady! Carol was professional, caring and helpful! She won’t let you waste your money on permanent brows if you really don’t need them — she would rather teach you how to apply brow pencil the correct way and let your natural brows grow again. If I ever did decide to have permanent makeup I would definitely go to Carol!

I have to agree with everyone’s great reviews of Carol. I went several months ago to have her correct a terrible shape and hideous color. They were uneven and turning pink/orange after just 4 months. Alter a lengthy consultation and viewing her extensive book of before and after corrections: Carol advised me to continue to let the color fade and recommended a green/yellow non-toxic art pen to mellow the pink/red/orange color as it faded. And showed me how to artfully and naturally correct the shape with a properly colored green/brown brow pencil. With some patience the color is fading and my skin is going back to a more normal/manageable color. I’m so happy I didn’t rush into injecting a color corrector, using a laser or other tattoo remedies suggested by other salons. Patience is key! Carol has obviously been doing this a long time her volumes of books with before and after pictures gave me hope that I didn’t ruin my face or have to be stuck with orange eyebrows. THANKYOUCAROL!!! More people need to find you. I truly appreciate your honesty and genuine empathy about my situation. You definitely helped fix my problem without doing more tattooing. Please feel free to use me as a referral anytime. Www

I emailed Ms. Carol about permanent eyebrow makeup to fill in a few spots on my brows. I wasn’t in need of significant improvement, but I just thought it would be nice to not have to fill these areas in when I want fuller brows. I consulted a few different permanent makeup artists and Ms. Carol was the only one that was completely HONEST with me and what I wanted. For that, I give her business 5-stars. She isn’t out for money — like many other makeup artists. To me, that means she cares about her clients! She does beautiful permanent makeup work, her integrity is top notch, she cares, I totally recommend this place!

I went to Carol to remove my eyeliner because I not 100% satisfied with them. What I truly admire about Carol is that she is so honest with you and won’t do anything unless she really thinks that it’s for the best. Carol actually recommended that I don’t remove my eyeliner because she wasn’t sure that it would come out nicely because the ink is so dark. She also said that the eyeliner was actually really nice on me and shaped my eyes to be bigger. She wasn’t in it for the money and told me that she could do it, but it’s just not worth it because the job was done well enough. I totally appreciate her opinion and decided to keep them as is. I would like to mention that I did a lot of research before calling Carol and found that she was the least expensive and most honest. She is a great person and I would completely recommend going to her for an honest opinion. Even though I didn’t go through with any procedure, she was still helpful in giving me tips if I decided to go elsewhere. IFYOUWANTTOBEAUTIFYYOURSELF, GOTOCAROL! You won’t regret it.

Carol fixed my eyebrow tattoo disaster!!! Someone gave me the WORST black marker-like straight eyebrow tattoo :-(and Carol listened to me cry, and every month I went there to get rid of the harshness and the terrible tattoo. She helped with tattoo removal, brow makeup ideas, shaping, and thankfully after being patient and listening to her, my eyebrows are normal. They still need work, but Im in the right hands, and we are headed in the right direction. GOHERETOFIXYOUEYEBROWTATTOO! CAROLWILLHELPYOU! Thank you, thank you Carol!

I have been going to Carol for many years now and she has truly become a friend! Her artistry is above and beyond as she is absolutely a master @ her craft!!! My brows are so perfectly shaped and yet they don’t look like they’ve been tattoo’d. I had a scar many yrs ago and thus hair didn’t grow back in that area. She SAVEDTHEDAY and now due to her, she has made it so that I feel put together. Now I go for touch ups here and there and am always thankful the minute I leave as it’s just so great to have that type of faith in someone who is working on your face and especially in the eye area. Even if someone does have brows, usually they can use some improvement and she does that… She is a gift and a treasure!!!

Who do you want to do your permanent makeup? Someone who analyzes every little crease on your face that you didn’t even know you had. Someone who takes her time to be careful and perfect. Carol is A+++ when it comes to detail. Amazingly, the eyelash enhancement did not hurt one bit. I have been to 3 other permanent makeup artists over the years and they are not as perfect in their artistry and as good about making this process not hurt as much as Carol. When I had other people do my liner, the line would fade out in a year but this line she did for me has not faded at all in over a year. I am suspecting it will last at least 5 years as it should. She will not do anything to you that she doesn’t think will look good. She is honest and truly cares about making you look good. I have also seen her work with eyebrows. She is the best at the hair stroke technique vs fill in brows. Her place is clean and comfortable. She even has a talking parrot to keep you distracted. Trust her completely.
