Angela Durbin Permanent Cosmetics — Attraction in Creve Coeur

Saying that my experience with So Natural was “good” is a gross understatement. My experience was PHENOMENOL (at the very least) and more along the lines of life changing. For over a decade, I have struggled to accept a unique cosmetic flaw and finally decided to seek a resolution. After performing careful research over the course of 2+ years, I stumbled upon the world of permanent make up and cosmetics. For me, this was the perfect (and most logical solution) for my problem specifically. The real (and daunting) task now was finding skilled and experienced professionals to provide the service.

After calling a couple of places prior to So Natural, I finally got in contact with The Artist Formerly Known as “Rachel”. Also a resident of Maryland Heights, they were conveniently located just minutes from my home. At this point, it seems as if all the stars are aligning, however, the task of performing due diligence (on both sides) still remains. They went on to impress me further by making sure I was truly a good candidate for this process, and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information possible prior to making this decision. After all was said and done, I was beyond impressed with the outcome. I have truly walked into a new chapter of my life thanks to the empathy, skill, services, and professionalism provided by these wonderful ladies!

Rachel-

You have certainly taken your skills to the next level, and you can definitely add this to your arsenal of talents. I encourage you to remain confident in yourself and your ability as an artist. You truly have the power (and talent) to change lives and I will just leave that there for you to mull over lol. Without speaking too candidly, for what we needed to achieve, you proved to be surgical with a tattoo gun and more than proficient with your craft. I am forever indebted to you and from the bottom of my heart…Thank you.

In closing, I am overjoyed with my results and would highly recommend these ladies to anyone. They have worked extremely hard (over 30 years) to build a solid reputation and it is well deserved. I think I was most impressed with their decision to take a chance on me or in Megan’s words “because they wanted to try and help me”. Anyone reading please understand, it is not about the money with this business, they truly value customer satisfaction any day over a simple sale. As a person with a business degree that works in a high end corporate setting, if anyone understands business…it is me. That said, often times businesses lose sight of the “human” aspect of business (which is a vital part). Without people, you have no customers, employees etc. so, we can’t lose sight of that. That is exactly what Megan as a manager understands greatly as she otherwise would have respectfully opted out of providing services to me.

Owner’s if you are reading this, I commend you for having such great insight and judgment to trust people like Megan and Rachel with your business. Please do not be upset with them, as I can be pretty convincing and persuasive. What I can say is, as a business that offers certain services already, you guys have the potential to branch into a very niche, but necessary and profitable market. That’s to say as long as you keep great employees on board like Megan and Rachel.

Thank you for reading and Thank you So Natural for the new lease on life.

P.S. I plan to bring my companion back to get her eyebrows done!

Best Regards,

Your favorite client you never want to see...

I am about a year overdue on this review... Angela is literally a miracle worker!! I got my (very tiny non-existent) eyebrows microbladed januray 2018 and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I was freaking out, like so nervous about getting something PERMANENTLY done to my face! I have to say, once angela drew on my new potential brows and showed me in the mirror, I started crying, they were so perfect and fitting for my face, better than I could ever draw on (which is what I was doing before they were microbladed)! This is an art, just like tattooing, no measuring necessary, she’s just that good!!! Not only were they the perfect shape but they looked so real, every little stroke was a different size different length, so much depth to them they looked unbelievable! I’ve since gone in for a touch up and they’re amazing as ever! They nurses are great too if you’re worried about anything don’t be- you will know instantly when you walk in, it’s beautiful, it’s so clean, and everyone is sooooo nice, including the wonderful lady at the desk who made me the perfect cup of coffee and brought it back to me while on chair. Just amazing!!!! Everyone! (I did my research and this is the best place I found. The best work, the best technicians... I’ve had friends go other places and unfortunately theirs don’t look as good as mine,...

Do not waste your time searching....Go Here!! This place is wonderful. I have wanted to have my eyebrows micro-bladed for years... but I kept hesitating. I was weary of the cost, would it hurt, and most importantly... would they look how I wanted them to! You see... I am a bit of a perfectionist. I worried that whoever did my eyebrows would become irritated with me as I would point out the tiniest little changes. After reading reviews I finally bit the bullet and scheduled an appointment with Angela. It could not have gone better!! She spent time during the initial consultation to get a grasp for what shape I wanted. On the day of the procedure.... she may have been more of a perfectionist than me!! She made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it. She uses a cream to cut down on the pain and just puts you at ease throughout the whole process, she has a great personality and is so easy to talk to. We chatted like we had known each other for years!! Angela truly takes pride in her work and will not settle for less than perfect. All of the staff I interacted with were equally friendly and inviting. I highly recommend this place and I will continue to go here for my...
