| - I have always wanted to get my eyeliner done & should of done my research more extensively beforehand as after finding Carlie Marie's Esthetics, I decided to give her a try due to what I'd thought was a great deal running on a daily deal site. One main decision I decided to go with her was the fact that she had on her site stating that she worked correcting permanent makeup done by inexperienced practitioners and knowing few ladies who have had 'permanent makeup gone bad', I figured she knew what she was doing. What I did not expect was to have to get corrections done due to her work itself!
I would like to point out in as much detail as I can on all information that I have to allow future potential clients to better make an informed decision about this business. I wish there was more review on this business but I was not able to find out any at the time so decided to go with her word from the website & good faith that she knew what she was doing with 15+ yrs experience.
I had eyeliner done at Vanity on Mill Med Spa & Salon where Carlie & Marie Aesthetics was located at. She had me lay down on the chair, rub some chapstick-like thing over my eyes (numbing cream) before starting. She was not professional and did not win 1st impression with me as she was constantly on her phone texting pretty much the whole time I was in there! I would be talking & say something or ask her a question and she wouldn't reply or say uh-huh so she wasn't even listing at all or paying attention as all I could hear was her tapping on the phone texting, VERY unprofessional! The procedure was painful but I endured it fine with minimal bleeding and the numbing cream did helped some. I looked at the mirror after she was done & due to the puffiness of my lids, wasnt sure completely of it but it was lined, look dark from it being fresh. The liner wasnt lined all the way on the bottom so I asked about it but she said it was normal because she doesnt like getting too close to the tear duct. left there sore but ok, though not too sure at the shape of the liner itself but figured like she said, it'll be better once it heals and to make sure I get the cream & pills for a fast recovery.
Woke up with very puffy & swelled up eyes but figured that was normal so continued to put the cream on & ice pack helped the swelling after about an hr. After careful inspection of my eyes, I noticed that the liners on the top were not even as one side was very noticeably thicker on the corner vs the other & both the bottoms were not only not drawn from corner to corner but only the middle was drawn & one line on one eye was shorter than the other. I contacted about this concern in which I got a reply back 2 days later & was told that I would have to go in for a touch up & pay an extra $$ which I was not too happy with as the next day (day 3), I had other problems. My eyeliner was still puffy some but it started peeling is the best way to described it. After a shower, in the morning & also after my routine face wash (which I was extremely careful with around the eye area), I noticed that pieces were coming off! It was as if the makeup application was lined on my lashes. The next day, (day 4), more came off and this time, my eye liner still had that puffy line BUT the lines from where the pieces were coming off had disappeared! So by this time, I was really concerned and wanted to talk to her as to why this was happening. I was told sometimes it does a 'disappearing act' where the color will come back and that it is normal and the touch up is what I needed. Now, I know that the color is supposed to fade after the initial procedure, even as much as 60% but not this disappearing act. I had a hard time believing that if I cannot see any lines, that it would come back. I also had called numerous permanent makeup estheticians for a 2nd opinion. Some told me she might of not used a good 'ink'. I also learned that follow ups are the norm but not always needed depending on the work. Most include it in their initial price while others do not. Unfortunately, touch up was not included in hers. I finally talked to someone who was very professional & unbiased and told me to go back to her to do the touch-up & hope it corrects it since I now have that pigment from the 1st procedure, the color should stick the 2nd time around. Well, after the 6th day of procedure, I can honestly say, my eyes looked as if I had nothing done to them (except the little liner on the corner on top where it was thicker if you look closely and the pain I'd endured) as the peeling of the liners are gone (like dead skin) & I'm out the $. I still had some faith (wishful thinking) she could fix it so I booked my appt with her for the touchup. The lines she drew was messy & uneven but since my eyes were puffy, I gave it time. Fastforward... I'm sad to say, it didnt stick. Very disappointed, horrible experience I don't wish anyone to endure and would not recommend her to anyone ever again.
