True Image NYC — Local services in New York

I have been looking for a place to redo my eyebrows that I had previously done. I found Lash Eyeland and came upon how much experience and reviews Annie had on her website and her Yelp page. Initially I was skeptical since there were many places, city and queens that offer the microblading services. But something stood out at this studio. I did my massive research on different styles Annie had done or the styles were repetitive.

I had done my eyebrows elsewhere 10 years ago and they were still EXTREMELY TOO DARK and they weren't even the same!! It was driving me insane for the past 10+ years and they changed to a greyish bluish color which drove me more insane.

I stumbled upon Lash Eyeland and the artist Annie and read how welcoming and warm their customer service was. I got in contact with their lovely receptionist Jennifer who was warm enough to explain the instructions on how to make the appointments, how the pigments differences were comparted to what they use to use in prior years. I was confident I have found the place to get my brows redone.

Followed the instructions on the precare information before coming into the service, I was told exactly what they were to do before taking action. That's what I love about this place. They put you at ease and make you feel comfortable and know how to take care of you. After the numbing and cleaning were finished, Annie, the artist, explained she would have to lighten my brows before applying the "new" eyebrows since my previous eyebrows were too dark and grey. So she did a "cover-up" session to lighten the eyebrows with a skin-like color that way when she were to design my "new" brows, it would have more defined lines and shape.

Truthfully, the cover-up session did hurt and was a bit painful but what can you say, no pain no gain. Gotta have some pain to be beautiful!! After the cover-up session was over, then came the designing. Annie was very technical and precise with the measurements and length that way it would match up as much as possible. After her designing, she would show me the design from what my previous structure was and I was able to change a bit to go thick in some areas and thinner on others. When we have finally found the right shape, length and thickness for my face, she told me she would begin the microblading session. Was a bit nervous but it wasn't as bad. The cover-up session pain was inevitable since she was lightening the area with skin-like color but the microblading, couldn't feel a thing!! Well maybe I lied a bit, just on the high points of my face tingled a bit but THAT WAS ALL THE PAIN FROM MICROBLADING! I was amazed on how it went. I practically fell asleep halfway in since I didn't feel it.

After the session was over, Annie had showed me the mirror to discover my new brows. I was absolutely in love with them. The color was great, the definition of how detailed the strokes of hairs were phenomenal! I couldn't ask for a better artist to re-shape and REDO my brows!! Jennifer, the receptionist, was careful on explaining the aftercare of the brow since it was suppose to scab during the healing process. That was no big deal with me since tattoos and scraps tend to scab and peel and heal in a manner.

Overall, they were wonderful! Great people, great atmosphere and great customer service. If anyone is looking for a place of comfort and satisfaction, I recommending Annie and her crew at Lash Eyeland. I voucher for their work! They are great and AMAZING! Thank you so very much Annie for my great brows! It changed how people look at me now!!...

What an amazing experience I had with Annie!! I have been wanting to get my brows microbladed and eyeliner done for some time now, but have been so nervous with the possibilities of the 'what ifs' After many research of different locations, I found Lash Eyeland with their gorgeous before and after pictures of brows and eyeliners. The office is beautifully set up and has a very warm and inviting feeling that just draws you in. The ladies at Lash Eyeland were very professional, friendly and understanding of my nervousness. Annie the artist would explain before she did something such as measuring out my brows to make them symmetrical and also drew the. eyeliner to show me the difference of natural, thick, and with wing ( I just had to go with thick and winged despite my nervousness) The actual service for the brows wasn't as bad as I assumed, maybe little uncomfortable but bearable. Annie will ask in between if I am alright and if she notices that some parts are more sensitive, she will pause a little to let me relax. Now the eyeliner was definitely more sensitive but with the numbing cream applied in-between and the small breathers she gave me, it was worth the small pain and wait. The results were just amazing; the brows looked so natural and just beautiful the eyes were a little tender and slightly red but you can definitely see the beautiful work she has done, Even I have to say I have beautiful eyes now Annie is definitely person to depend on to beautify your...

Ombre Mist

Description: Annie is more well known for microblading and given the number of technicians that give this service I wanted to try something different. Ombre Mist is another form of microblading but the application is a bit different for the pigment comes out in dots rather than strokes. It has more of a gradient natural effect so I thought to give it a try. Again, not many microblading technicians provide this service so it really is difficult to find.

Service: the prep is the same as microblading for she numbs the area for 20 minutes. She also designs the brows for your liking and does not start unless you give her the ok on the design. The only part that people may not like is the sounds because it does sound like a quiet tattoo machine. So I do suggest to listen to music if you are sensitive to sound. It also vibrates your eyebrow area a bit since there are a bunch of dots being tattooed on your face

Pain level: 5/10. It is sore and tingly right after the service. Almost felt like getting your eyebrows waxed.

Healing: the peeling took about 10 days and it did look very patchy but you have to patient with it.

Summary: microblading vs ombre mist I suggest people who have fuller brows ( with lots of hair) have the option for both compared to those who have light to no hair I would suggest to get microblading. Ombre has a very natural finish and it definitely hurts less than...
