Laura is professional, caring, and a perfectionist. Â She provided para-medical scar cover tattoo treatment for me and I am extremely impressed by the results. Â I did a lot of research before choosing Laura and I only found positive reviews from her previous clients. Â I am planning to return to Laura for some additional work and may even try some cosmetic makeup since I feel a great deal of trust in her aesthetic and technical expertise. Â I highly reccomend Laura's services.
Review Source:I thank you for your unbelievable permanent makeup hand applied techniques I received today on 4/11/13. Â My words do not do justice to Laura's skillful hand techniques and I was there and I still don't believe her speed and precisions.
Just to give a complete history of my permanent makeups and all by electric applicators, I have had my 1st permanent makeup in1993. Â I am Asian and eyeliners and eyebrows are the most critical. Â Applying the makeup badly will give Asian eyes a smaller look. Â Touch-ups were in 1995, 2001, 2005, and 2009. Â Thus this reviews come from a pool of 6 separate comparisons what the desired quality of the makeup applications can be.
Furthermore, I did not just find Laura Albano a few months ago; I became extremely intrigued and curious upon learning her techniques last year in May 2012. Â I could not go then because I did not have the money to do the complete set of eyeliner, eyebrows, and lip liner. Â There was no going back for me once Laura became known to me.
What I really desire most from makeup is getting markup on with great precision. Â That is using Laura's steady hands I could not believe how she was able to draw my eyeliners where my lashes are. Â This, in effect, opened my eyes and gives it a natural look.
I am looking forward to the ongoing relationship with Laura Albano.
I'd give her a million stars if i could!!!! Laura tattooed my brows about 2 months back and they look so natural. I can't even begin to tell you people how happy I am with them. Nobody can even tell and my gal pals rave about them, My husband, who knew I was getting them done, didn't even notice when I got home. I was super duper particular because the last thing I wanted were a set of  faded green lines for brows riding on my face. You Asian gals KNOW what I'm talking about! And yes I am of Asian decent so you know how obsessed we are about our brows.
I went in for a consultation, and lucky for me, I was her last appointment so had them done that day. Laura is just the coolest and so easy to work with. She'll work with you in regards to color, shape and shade. Mind you, I was completely freaked out to do this but she made it so comfortable and easy. She went lighter on me because she knew how nervous i was after explaining to her the freakiness I've seen in the Asian commmunity. She uses an old ancient hand tool method so no tattoo gun style machine is involved. I have a high tolerance to pain but it does sting. After the first few strokes, you kind of get used to it so i didn't feel too much afterward. I was a little pink for about 20 minutes but that was it. The brow strokes will look much more defined, and darker, at first but don't panic. Mine have faded and blended beautifully. She'll explain all this to you so take her word for it.
Laura's a busy gal (bc she is THAT good) so you'll get her answering machine quite often. But leave her a message and she'll get back to you asap. She's awesome! She'd just better not go anywhere because I'm def going back to her for my touch ups. Â Skip the BS artists and go to Laura. She may be pricier than others but her work is so damn worth it. Think about it, you're tattooing your face, do you really want to risk it??
Laura Albano is an angel who absolutely changed my life. I had a very bad facial scar resulting from an automobile accident at the age of 15 - I'm about to turn 46.  I had two revisions on the scar by a top plastic surgeon at UCLA and as many as 30 - 40 laser treatments by a Beverly Hills "celebrity" dermatologist who was regularly featured on the local news. I was left with a scar that was so white I felt like it glowed. There is NO treatment for hypopigmentation. I was so self conscious and it was so white I couldn't even cover it with make-up, in fact, Laura Mercier herself could not completely cover my scar when I saw her at a make-up event in New York. I had never heard of "Medical Tatooing" but was lucky enough to find Laura on-line while doing some research. From the moment I read about her impressive credentials and prestigious affiliations, and looked at some of the photos on her website (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.laurajalbano.com&s=ba9c7733b883ea2211a9df66e5b92a709fe1cc708556ba349a627c1e1c6c58d0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.laurajalbano.…</a>), I HAD to see her. Laura Albano did more for me in 30 minutes (and for an extremely reasonable fee), than a top plastic surgeon and dermatologist were able to do at any price. The difference in how I feel is unbelievable, I feel undamaged for the first time in 30 years, my life seems so much easier now, I can leave my house without make-up and without feeling so self-conscious. It's like a whole new life. Of course I wish I had found her years ago, but I'm so happy now, that it's much easier to look forward than to regret the past. Some people are fortunate enough to change peoples lives by the work they do and Laura is truly one of those people, she has a gift and dedication that is rare to find. I've not met a kinder, gentler person in my life. I wish there was higher than five stars to rate her. There are no words to recommend her highly enough!
Review Source:After reading the reviews & researching different places,I decided to see Laura for permanent  top eyeliner & I was SO HAPPY I did!!! I had heard this procedure was suppose to be very painful so I was expecting the worst,but was very surprised...it is best desribed as just an uncomfortable feeling..I wouldn't call it painful though! She also has a great personality. Would highly recommend her...I am going back to get the bottom done soon as well,she leaves it so natural looking. Laura is a professional and the only person I would trust for permanent makeup=)
Review Source:This is a review for my mom. My mom has seen Laura twice now and both times she has been very professional and helpful. She definitely knows what she is doing and she does a great job. I fell in love with her pup Lucy who happens to be the most well behaved dog I have ever seen. Plus she's adorable. If you are looking to get permanent make up done I recommend you don't go to a random hair salon or a tattoo place because your results will not look as good as what Laura can produce. I am saving up to get some eyeliner done on my mother and I because I can only trust her. I hope she's around for a long time. I'd like to learn how to do cosmetic make-up. What better of a person to learn from? Anyways, she's totally awesome and would be worth it even if she charged more. To save you time, Laura only takes cash or check.
