| - This review is for Trudy Trinh, the owner and only operator of Natural Impressions. She works out of Langton salon downtown.
I received microblading from Trudy Trinh in early September 2016, and I am only writing this review now because I have been trying to pursue legal action against her, however the process would be expensive and lengthy, so I will settle for this review.
Trudy Trinh was the most expensive microblading artist in Toronto. Her fee? $700 +tax. I purposely went to her because I thought that since she charges more, she is serious and I will have good results. Wrong.
The $700 microblading service was to include the initial microblading session + a touch-up / corrective session after 3 months for another $50. The results after the first session were just OK, the tint was too dark and the shape did not follow my natural shape, it was a standard industry shape, which is not ideal for my face. She missed several spots, and I told her, but she said to let it settle and we'll take care of it at the touch up. OK.
2 1/2 months later I e-mail Trudy to schedule my follow up in the coming weeks. No answer. I follow up with her, no answer. I send her another e-mail, this time stating my frustration that I am not being replied to, no answer. I see then that she updates her webpage, and sends a message on instagram saying that: "as Trudy is very busy, follow ups will be scheduled only when time permits." !!!! By this time my several wisps of the microblading had fallen off, the spots she missed the first time became more prominent and I looked horrible. WORST of all, during the process she CUT my natural hairs and I think scarred my skin at the hair root so that my NATURAL eyebrows partially fell out AND were not growing. I was desperate. After e-mailing her AGAIN, this time a more aggressive email, she finally replies saying she can do me a favour and squeeze me in after December. I was both livid and scared to entrust my face to her again.
I began looking into consumer protection laws and following up. Turns out this industry is VERY unregulated. I could START a inquiry but since there are no precedents I need a lawyer and it will be a lengthy process. I was unable to dedicate the time and money to this endeavour, which is unfortunate, and exactly what people like her count on to get away with this.
I would never ever get close to this woman again. I have been doing laser treatments to remove the random wisps of blading remaining on my face, more $$$ added to the $750 I spent with Trudy.
One more thing: She is the owner and sole operator of her microblading business YET when you check out she demands a tip. Just my two cents, but I thought this ridiculous.
