Some Customer Feedback and Reviews:
"My experience was wonderful. The office is beautiful and very clean. My friend and I were greeted by Lue’s sister who is a joy. She was great to explain what to expect over the next few days with my brows. Once I was taken back, very nervous, Lue 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 2 hour drive for the best! I can’t wait to see the healed result. Thank you so much!!."
