I went years with butchered, patchy eyebrows that never fully grew back after a few bad episodes with a tweezer (by my own hand and an overzealous makeup artist).
For years I contemplated having them tattooed, but I was really freaked out and it seemed expensive.
Now I wish I had gone to see Tawnya sooner. She did a great job and took extra time to make sure that I got the result that I wanted. It was a two-step process; first she did a thin line of my brow and I came back a few months later for a free follow up to handle any touchups and changes necessary.
I honestly wanted a quick solution and coming back didn't sound like fun, but I now know that it was because she knows what she's doing and it's important to get permanent makeup - especially brows - just right.
She talked to me about what look I was trying to achieve, what I liked/what bothered me ... and didn't make me feel rushed.
It is amazing to wake up in the morning with eyebrows. I realize millions of women do it everyday, but it had been a long time for me. It saves me a huge amount of time and stress and I wish I had done it years ago.
I feel much more confident, and now can go swimming without fear. I would strongly recommend going in for a consultation if you have any doubts. Tawnya is very laid back and will put you at ease.
The only criticisms is that appointments never seem to be available after 4 p.m. during the week and are only available on the weekends every other Sunday. I suspect this salon typically serves the kept women of Bellevue - which is cool, I don't judge. But as a working woman it's tough to get an appointment for this kind of luxury treatment M-F, 9-5.
Nonetheless, five stars.
