Customers have found the artist's expertise in brow microblading and nano brows to be life-changing, allowing them to wake up with perfectly shaped brows every day. However, one client expressed dissatisfaction with a lip blush procedure and the subsequent difficulty in removing it. The removal process was challenging, and the client had to take matters into their own hands.
