After chemo, my eyebrows never grew back. Thankfully, I found Emily who gave me new ones — and honestly, it feels like a significant upgrade. She is meticulous and charming, which meant I was completely relaxed for the entire process. The results look amazingly real. Emily is the rare kind of person who has built a whole career around helping people feel like themselves again. If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your face, Emily is it.
I've been through so many brow places over the years and Emily is in a league all her own. She's that warm and witty kind of person whose company you genuinely enjoy.
Her work is consistently stunning every single time and everyone I've introduced to her says the same thing! Her approach is so refreshing and never feels like another beauty errand.
She's an artist who intuitively understands exactly what works for your face. She doesn't just go at it. Instead, she's tactful and takes time to consult with you throughout the appointment.
If you're searching for your brow person (or one of the zillion other things she does) book Emily.

Her communication is clear and direct, plus she's quite patient when it comes to fielding questions/concerns. The process feels collaborative; I've never felt the slightest bit of pressure to do anything I wasn't 100% comfortable with. Go see Emily!!
