What Clients Are Saying
A wonderful, painless experience
"My experience was wonderful. The office is beautiful and very clean. My friend and I were greeted by Lou's sister, who is a joy and explained what to expect over the next few days with my brows. Once I was taken back, very nervous, Lou laid her hands on my shoulders very calmly and confidently told me she was not nervous at all and my brows were going to look beautiful. The procedure was painless. I was amazed at the reveal. It was worth the wait for an appointment and a 2 hour drive for the best! I can't wait to see the healed result. Thank you so much!" — Mandy Miller Moore
Natural brows and perfect eyeliner
"My girlfriend and I had the best experience ever! She had her eyebrows microbladed and I had permanent eyeliner. I couldn't stop looking at my friend's brows — they look so natural and absolutely gorgeous. As for me, I had gone to another place before and did not have a good result. This was my third attempt, so I was a bit nervous. My first two attempts elsewhere were extremely painful, but with Lou it tickled! I am amazed at her artwork — the eyeliner is perfect! Both Lou and her sister work so lovingly together. This was truly a first-class experience. I'm excited to go back and get my brows done and will definitely look into the many other services she provides. We traveled a couple hours to get there and I wish I had found her first, but I'll never go elsewhere for cosmetic beauty. Can't rave enough! Grab your friend and go! Thanks Lou!" — Holly Trusler Rominger
The go-to artist in the area
"Lou is the most amazing artist around. She has done work on several of my friends and they look amazing! Yesterday she microbladed my eyebrows and they look amazing. She had to do a correction on them and did an amazing job. She is also working on eyeliner correction and a new face with plasma lift — can't wait to see the new me! She is also the sweetest. She will talk to you and explain everything. If you're thinking about permanent makeup, she is definitely the go-to girl in this area!" — Susan Hutson Skelton
