{ DIVA’S REPORT }
BROW MICROBLADING Upon meeting Laura V., my first impression was cleanliness. Yes, I said cleanliness. This is very important to me. I was very impressed by her salon. Then secondly was that I was impressed by her relationship with her clients. She was so gentle and calming but she knew her trade and had a passion for it. She is dedicated to the point of perfection. Believe it or not, this eased all of my apprehension.
coloring. Something natural. Laura V is very knowledgeable about assisting the customer in choosing what color tone for the procedure
The whole procedure took about an hour-and-a-half. This is including a 30 min wait for the anesthetic to numb you. I then waited as Laura V. measured out and mapped the placement of my new eyebrows. I was informed every step of the way. I was glad I was allowed to preview the shape. My fears were completely gone!
I was hesitant because I was not familiar. Everyone who knows me knows I am opposed to red or pink lipstick, so I wanted a nude 122

I was thankful the procedure was not painful. Laura was very careful to apply the numbing agent and continued to do so throughout the procedure, so I was not uncomfortable. It took about two hours. I was sitting 30-40 minutes with a numbing agent prior to beginning the process. This was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure; sitting with your mouth closed being unable to talk. Kelly Breuer enjoyed taking photos of Diva 1 with the plastic wrap sealing the numbing agent and posting them on social media! I did experience some slight swelling of my lips after the procedure but at no time did I feel pain. Laura V. provided me with after care procedures. I followed them using the ointment provided. My swelling was gone after a few hours. My lips remained numb for a while, but I went home at 5 and ate dinner directly after the procedure. By the next day, my lips looked normal again, but I woke up not needing to apply lipstick or lip liner! I am very pleased with the results.
Finally, it was time to unveil the brows. I loved them. They were swollen, red and darker in some areas. The overall shape was fantastic. This whole experience was exciting to me. I know the final look will be better. I am beyond ecstatic my days of tweezers, waxing’s etc. are over. No more guessing who the person will be today waxing my eyebrows. I’m also excited about the savings. I’m so pleased with the procedure and Makeup by Laura V. She is a true artist and definitely very skilled at her craft!
