This was a really neat experience! First of all, I was nervous microblading would hurt but Portia was so gentle and considerate. The numbing cream worked so good. Waxing my eyebrows hurts worse than this! Secondly, I appreciated how Portia is a perfectionist! When you have your face in someone else's hands you better get quality work. You get what you pay for. I was so pleased to see her examine both eyebrows and repeatedly touch them up to perfection. Finally, I cannot believe how real these strokes look!! Seriously! Up close they look as real as you can get. The strokes were done with consideration to how real eyebrow hair would fall on the face. I am beyond impressed. If I could rate Ishapebrows 10 stars I would! In addition, the studio was neat and clean and all the employees were friendly and helpful!
