Google Reviews
Rickina was very professional and knowledgeable. Can't say enough. She helped me decide which option was best for me. She could have sold me the most expensive service, but didn't we decide the brow lamination was the best option for me, and she explained why.
Rickina is very knowledgeable, supportive, and a great teacher! I really enjoyed her class. Because of her I now am succeeding in PMU brows, laminations, and lash lifts. 10/10 recommend her class!
I took Rickina’s class for Microblading last year. Her hair stroke technique is very natural in my opinion. She has been helpful in my continued learning and improvement of my skills even after finishing her course.
