I very highly recommend Meg at Brow Basics by Meg. I did a lot of research in advance of selecting Meg to micro-blade my brows in 2022. She was so pleasant, professional and I was thrilled with the finished look. Fast forward, I just recently returned to her for an "annual touchup" THREE years later. She's using a slightly different technique than before, but the results are equally outstanding. In addition to being a very friendly and kind person, I love how she makes the brow aftercare bag so you know exactly what to do AND what to expect for the 10 days following your service. She is the only person I would trust with any sort of permanent makeup. Thank you Meg!!
Megan Hessler is a truly artful professional. I came to her with my microbladed brows badly faded to a greyish color. She was meticulous, thoughtful and knowledgable in her approach to reviving them to a rich and complementary color. In addition her space is beautifully appointed, she is charming and reasonably priced. I highly recommend her services.
Meg is really talented, and so skillful! My new upper liner and microbladed brows look full and fabulous, and she uses techniques that greatly reduce the pain of these beauty procedures. Highly recommend!
Meg was great; communicative, polite, professional, punctual, and skilled. She clearly knows her stuff and went over expectations, the procedure for the day, and aftercare, and made sure I had no confusion or questions. She was happy to offer opinions on my lash enhancement when I wasn't sure what to pick, but also deferred to my preferences once I made a decision. She explained everything as she was doing it, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The tattoo itself was painless and the results look great so far. I'm very happy.
I’ve been going to Meg for a few years now ever since she helped refresh my microbladed brows done by another artist years ago. Meg is professional and kind, and extremely meticulous in her approach to brow design and artistry. She always makes sure that I’m comfortable and explains every step of the process. At this point, I just let Meg do her thing because she’s a talented professional who always does an amazing job. Her studio is clean, bright, airy, and relaxing. You can’t go wrong with anything you get done by this lovely lady, she’s truly the best!
