As for myself, I unfortunately wasn't blessed with dark full eyebrows or long dark beautiful eyelashes. My eyebrows are fairly light in color in comparison to my dark hair and are very sparse. I used to have to draw my eyebrows on every morning in high school and let me tell you, it wasn't always pretty let alone symmetrical to the other side. You would never know if it was a good day or an angry day based on the shape I had drawn on my brows sometimes. I originally had gotten permanent cosmetics done on my eyebrows when I was 17 by another lady who was good but holy cow, I wasn't numbed up for it and I could feel EVERYTHING! I loved the look and simplicity of having them. Fast forward 10 years, they had faded a bit and I was looking for another permanent MAU to redo by brows as well as look into getting my eyeliner done. Now, I had seen Maria seriously at every What a Girl Wants Expo and had seen her work. Later, I was speaking with my in-laws about her and behold, my mother and sister in-law had gone through Maria for their eyebrows, lips and eyeliner!!! Maria had done both of their eyebrows, lips and liner beautifully. Our (at the time) 87 year old Grandma even loved her work so much, she had her brows done by Maria as well and Grandma adored her! She was so careful and delicate with her aging skin too! Since then, I have had my eyebrows, top and bottom eyeliner permanently done by Maria as well as lash extensions too! I love not having to draw on my brows every day or doing liner. It seriously cuts your make up time in half. I'm not ashamed to answer the door first thing in the morning by surprise visitors if I haven't gotten ready yet. I have referred my mother and sister to her for permanent make up as well as friends. She is seriously THAT GOOD! If Grandma simply adored her and her work, Β you know shes a winner!Maria is very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Maria thoroughly goes through the procedure with you as well as aftercare instructions. She goes through color selections to find the right color for you and what you want and feel comfortable with.If you're questioning shape, she has you covered as well. She numbs the site well to keep you comfortable during the procedure and is very sensitive as well. You also don't ever have to worry that her ink colors will change throughout time either like some people you may see that have had their brows done elsewhere. She uses quality ink made for permanent make up, not some cheap ink or regular ink that tattoo artists use. Just like the lady who commented above, I too am a lifetime client!I HIGHLY recommend Maria if you're looking for permanent makeup or lashes. Read Less
