OK...I finally did it...Permanent Eyebrows..Amazing ..love them..I certainly did lots of research before having this done..checked on a few technician in our area even went to Orlando and spoke to a few but never got the right "vibe" from any of them. Recently I saw an ad in The Daily Sun for New Brow..New You...Licensed Aesthetician...KIM FORSBERG...she offers a free complimentary consultation..so I called her and while on the phone they told me she was giving $100 off permanent make-up treatment..so that was a treat.
Kim is very professional and very knowledgeable in her field. I finally got that good "vibe" I have been looking for..after all it is your face your dealing with. Kim uses a very different technique check out her web page: wwwthismakeupgirl.com
I highly recommend Kim Forsberg for permanent make-up by the way she's located here in The Villages.

There are quite a few Laura Mercier eyebrow pencils for sale on Ebay. Many times when product is discontinued, it ends up on Ebay. Good luck!

I had mine done 3 years ago by Sherri at Cal's in Spanish Springs. She was awesome and they still look great. It was the best money I ever spent as my face sweats so bad (the only part of me that sweats) and my eyebrows would just slide right off with what I used before getting them tattooed! They were my first and only tattoo and it didn't hurt. I highly recommend having it done.

Another vote for Sharie Gardner at Cal's Barbershop in Spanish Springs. I go about every couple of years for a touch up, so they always look great. She also did my eyeliner, above and below my eyes. She does a good job and is a very nice person.

I am having mine done this morning by Sherri. What will I look like immediately after? Will there be blood, swelling, will I have to stay home for a period of time so no one will see me? I guess I should have asked these questions before I decided to have it done.

One additional question. The procedure itself costs $199.00. What would be an appropriate tip for this, or do you think a tip is required at all?

[Blessed2BNTV]

My girlfriend had it done last month and loves them, and they do look great. I'm thinking of doing it as well.

[juneroses]

I'm interested in knowing what the end product looks like after Sherri has done your brows. Do your brows look "feathery" or are they more of a "line" over your eye?

[fraurauch]

I just got a call that they would have to re-schedule my appointment until Wednesday, so I won't be able to answer your questions until after that.

I would definitely tip, as I do my hairdresser or nail tech. The amount of tip depends on the job and how happy I am with the service. I usually tip 20% if I am totally satisfied and then if not, it goes down from there. Sound like a lot of people are happy with the quality of work performed by this individual.

I had mine done also By Sherri she is good. You will love wakeing up in the morning with brows....They look feathery....

How does the eyeliner look? I don't know anyone who has had this done so I'm curious as to how it looks. And how much did it cost? Are you able to post a pic of your eyes for me to see....?
Thanks

Great discussion! I too have had thoughts of doing this but still have some brow left...the wider part up to the "peak". So would she shave this or integrate the tattoo with it. Another question would be, gravity takes it's toll as we age so would this end up doing that as well?? I'd love to hear comments from folks who've had this several years ago...and if they're still happy. Is the $199.00 pretty standard or should one shop around?
