I live in the Bay Area and am extremely particular about who I support. In addition to being someone that very much appreciates and pays attention to detail. All details especially when it comes to beauty and my face.
My Sister recommended Eric for micro blading/ micro shading. She is also very particular and knows how skeptical I am. Too many horror stories and real life people that have very “questionable” brow work done.
I was very hesitant at first as most people are not detail oriented. Nor do they pay attention to what you (exactly) want for yourself. Especially in the beauty industry of which I am a “snob” so to speak.
After seeing two of my Sister’s brows and Eric’s handiwork I was definitely impressed! They were perfectly done and beautifully shaped. The day of my appointment, I drove a little over an hour to “Exquisite Nails”. I take no issue with driving for quality work.
Eric was very attentive, kind, professional and thorough. He took his time explaining what he was going to do. Asked a lot of questions and demonstrated to me what to expect and the outcome. Again, I am very particular so he “tweaked” my eyebrows to exactly what I wanted.
The process itself didn’t hurt as I had originally expected. I don’t have any tattoos, only my ears pierced and do NOT like needles. Despite this, it was relatively pain free and I actually fell asleep. When I woke up he was done and I was absolutely thrilled with his work.
It is a 2 - step process that requires a “follow up” appointment to “touch up” his work. It has now (today) been exactly a month since Eric did my eyebrows. I wanted to wait before I wrote a review. Just to ensure that the results would last etc.
I am just as happy today as I was after my appointment. I honestly cannot wait for a follow up so that Eric can “touch up” my brows. The color, shape and his artistry are unmatched. I have had endless compliments on my eyebrows now. I also no longer have to wear brow makeup every day. The results are so natural that people think they are just my “perfectly shaped”, “well defined” and effortless looking eye brows.
I definitely prefer a more natural, effortless and fuller look when it comes to brows. I do not like exaggerated, “sharp” looking and very dramatic eye brows, myself. Eric can customize your brows to exactly your liking. Not to say that the above looking eyebrows don’t look good on others. Just saying on my face this is what I tend to prefer.
Either way, he is the Man for the job and I cannot recommend him anymore. He is definitely worth the drive and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up uprooting and being snapped up by one of the more “elite” salons. Although, I will always support humble roots and true artistry. Small business and family owned locales will always be near and dear to my heart. Also, locally owned and independent businesses are the way to go! 💪🏼👏🏼 🙌🏼
Thank you Eric, for your ingenuity, talent, attention to detail and valuing your clients. I will continue to support you and follow you wherever your work takes you. You and your business are a fine example of true American grit, talent and hard work! Also appreciate your great communication skills!
