I will start by saying that I am an absolute perfectionist when it comes to my brows and have been since the first time I tweezed and discovered the difference groomed brows made on my face. My brows are sparse due to my baby-fine hair.  I have been filling them in with pencil or powder but  never was 100% satisfied that the color was ever perfect. Everything was either too dark or had too much of an orange undertone to look completely natural.  About 5 years ago, I got it in my head that there had to be someone in the world who could tattoo my brows at least as well as I was drawing in every day. I researched obsessively over time, pouring over portfolios and yelp reviews trying to find someone who could appreciate my desire for perfection yet save me from looking like I had been attacked my a sharpie. After 4 years of searching locally, I had finally resolved that I would probably need to fly out to San Francisco to visit an artist out there who got rave reviews.  As I was building my determination to make the trip, I was walking at a nearby mall when I came across a monitor which had a slideshow of eyebrows.  Given my love for finely groomed facial hair, I stopped to discover that the eyebrows were actually advertising permanent makeup.  I marched right up to the counter and was greeted by a young lady who sang the praises of the newest member to their staff, Veera. As I explained my hesitance and requirements, the young lady started asking other staff members to come to the front desk to show their work.  After seeing a few sets of perfectly beautiful eyebrows and eyeliner that looked natural, in a way that enhanced their beauty rather than distract from it, I was comfortable enough to make an appointment for consultation.  A few days later, I was pleased to find that Veera was so professional and ready to give a very descriptive information session allowing me to understand the process, and what had gone wrong for the nightmare eyebrows that one occasionally sees (blue hued paranthesis anybody?)  She was extremely informative, making it clear that permanent makeup wasn't just a hobby or casual undertaking, but a medical procedure that requires some artistic talent.  Veera was more concerned about ensuring that I was comfortable and confident than anything else.  After letting me peruse hundreds of pictures,  I was ready for not only my eyebrows, but for a lash enhancement as well.  It took another 45 minutes for Veera to complete her "stencil"  on my face, which is to say she used a makeup pencil to determine the exact work she would do. Veera is an absolutely perfectionist. I actually had to chuckle as she was using a ruler to take various measurements to ensure symmetry and appropriate placement.  I was vocal about the fact that i was concerned about the color and about it being too dramatic/noticeable. Veera assured me every step of the way, explaining how the immediate results are not an accurate representation of the finished look, how it usually takes 2 sessions (both included in the price- 1 to get the basic shading done and another to perfect the shape) She also took the time to explain the color process and the chemistry behind the changing of colors that often happens with the ink.  Beyond all this, Veera is an absolute artist.  Despite me being a bit on the obsessive side about my brows and their shape, Veera pointed out subtleties such as the slight difference in my arches or how my skin will age and change and thus actually found a way to IMPROVE upon the shape which I had spent years perfecting.   Initially the color is darker (and in my case, with more orange undertones) but I was surprised to find that I actually LOVED the slightly more dramatic look because every single stroke of Veera's work was PERFECT.  She also did my eyeliner that day, and for someone who had lined my top lid every day of her makeup-wearing life, this has been a huge help in decreasing my time to get ready every day and letting me feel a bit more self confident about going out "sans makeup" since Veera was careful to ENHANCE my existing features rather than change them.  As expected, I did go back a month later after to have a touch-up which is to say that Veera wanted to put the finishing touches on my brows. The first session had been one for filling the brows in where as the second was for perfecting the shape.  Three months later, my husband still gets to hear on a regular basis how much I love my brows.  

I highly recommend Veera.  If given the chance, she will truly show you a work of art.
