I recently had my eyebrows tattooed by Lana. It is a two-step process, the two appointments are about one month apart. I am due for my second appointment this weekend at which time I plan to also get the eyeliner done.
Lana is extremely professional - both with her communication via telephone/email while setting up the appointment, the office is clean and relaxing, and she wore a gown, mask, googles, and gloves during the entire procedure. She cleaned my entire face with alcohol before starting the procedure and I was impressed at how immaculate the whole set-up was. She even let me take videos while she was tattooing -- my friends were so curious how it's done, I wanted to have something to show them.
Before even starting the tattoo process, Lana spent over two hours mixing pigments to find the perfect shade for my face. She was never rushed and often mixed and remixed, shaped then reshaped until she was satisfied we found the perfect color and shape for my face. I thought this was really nice, I appreciated that she took her time during the planning phase.
Lana was conscious of the pain and made sure to numb the eyebrow area really well before diving into the bulk of the tattoo. She had two different types of numbing agents - one was a cream, the other was a spray. After she applied the cream, she waited a good 20-30 minutes until it kicked it fully. Then, she would work a little bit then spray the other numbing agent until I was totally numb. And I will say, after a couple applications of the cream and spray, I was totally numb and didn't feel anything. It was nice to not feel the tattoo on your face!
My tattoos were tattooed in the past by another artist about 10 years ago so it was faded and misshapen. Lana evened them out to one another and corrected the color as well. I am really happy with the finished product, and am excited to see how they look after the second appointment.
I would totally recommend Lana for your permanent makeup - she is wonderful! Professional, clean, thorough, and very considerate... what more could you want from a cosmetic tattoo artist?
I visited Lana for my eyebrows which had been previously done by someone else over 5 years ago. They were thin and irregularly shaped so I contacted Lana after finding her on Google to see if she could touch them up. I did my research because the first time I had my eyebrows done I was referred to a woman and although she did an okay job I noticed right away that my eyebrows were not shaped right and one was thinner than the other. There were quite a few ads for permanent makeup artist in Chicago but I liked the fact that Lana is a RN and also that her site showed tons of before and after work. She also showed many pics of corrections that she had done on other people and that really impressed me. After speaking with Lana in depth and even sending her pics of my eyebrows we decided on a plan of action, the cost and a time. On the day of my appointment I remember feeling anxiety, because my eyebrows were in really bad shape and I desperately wanted them to look better and more natural. Lana's office was clean and bright and I instantly felt very comfortable. She was polite and professional and we seemed to click right away. Everything was done by the book, I signed consent forms for the procedure and she explained what was going to happen in detail and what to expect. I was VERY pleased with the results of my first visit and the work that Lana did to correct my unshapely brows. I returned for a follow-up visit and she re-touched them some more and we made some shaping corrections. That was close to four months ago and today my eyebrows look GREAT!! They are symmetrical and perfectly shaped now. They are darker but still natural looking and she also shortened them which I didn't think would be possible. I would definitely recommend Lana to anyone that wants permanent make-up done. I am a woman that has very short hair so my eyebrows have to look good! Lana's work and professionalism are both top-notch. I am very happy and pleased with my results and if I need any other permanent makeup done she will be who I go and see.
Review Source:Lana is a total professional and did an awesome job on my eyebrows! She takes her time to make sure you get the right color and shape and listens to your opinion as well. I HIGHLY recommend her and wouldn't recommend anyone else- I've seen people with terrible permanent eye make-up jobs. I want to tell them to see her to get their faces fixed!!
Review Source:My experience with Lana was an excellent one. Â I felt totally confident in her ability. Â She really knows what she's doing. Â She's an artist and a perfectionist. Â She takes her time (several hours) to make sure everything is perfect. Â Her office is immaculate and sterile. Â I did my research and found her to be the "real deal." Â I would not hesitate to recommend Lana!
