Marcia did a fantastic job. I had both my eyebrows and eyeliner done and I'm very happy with the results. She is professional and very good at what she does. I feel safe knowing she is experienced and licensed. I will definitely visit her again and I highly recommend her!

My eyeliner is heavier on one eye than the other and I thought when I went in for my touch up it would all be fixed. I called well in advance and made an appointment. I drove a hour and a half to be informed that I didn't have an appointment that some of appointments didn't transfer to her new calendar and she was booked full for the day. I told her I felt I should receive a discount since I was not going to be able to receive my follow up and she told me she was adamant about that being handled in person when I come in later for a follow up! As if I would trust her touching my eyes again! No way. She may have a lot of letters after her name but not a one of them stands for artist, which she is NOT!

I originally had the procedure done in Michigan and I was really nervous about finding someone I could trust when I moved to Kansas. I was grateful I found Marcia. I have been going to her every 2 to 3 years for touch-ups. She is professional, a wealth of knowledge, and very artistic. I also enjoy our conversations during the procedure.

I’m 46 yrs old. List eyebrows at 35 yrs old. I’m very thankful for Marcia and a wonderful job she does! I see too many ladies with blue eyebrows and that has never happened to me! That’s why I keep going back! This photo is after having it done to days ago and I have no make up on.

Marcia has been a total Godsend for me. I had a horrible experience with a technician who did microblading on my eyebrows. They ended up too big, too dark and they were not even close to being the same shape.

I was referred to Marcia, by a friend who’s mother went to her, and had a wonderful experience. Marcia has been working on a removal process for me, and I look like myself again! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Not only is she an artist, in creating beautiful permanent makeup, but she also give hope to people that went to the wrong person and are in desperate need of someone to help. She is not only person in her profession that does removal in Kansas City.

Marcia is the ONLY a person I would send any of my friends, family, or clients too. I’m that confident in her work and knowledge of permanent makeup.

I sent Marcia a picture of me with makeup and told her that was how I wanted my eyeliner to look. When I got to her office I had my eyeliner on and told her again, this is how I wanted my eyeliner to look when she was done. She said fine and she took a picture of me before she started.
Everything was going great until she asked me what I thought so far. I looked in the mirror and I was not happy at all. It wasn’t straight. So, I pointed out what I didn’t like so she could fix it. At that moment I felt like I was dealing with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She raised her voice and got very nasty with me. She continued to work, but it didn’t get any better.
She kept telling me it looked fine. I could see it looked a mess. She said she couldn’t draw my liner to the corners like I wanted because of issues called migration. I asked why didn’t she tell me that before. She responded by getting in my face, raising her voice, and telling me that she wasn’t looking at my makeup with a magnifiying glass. That was her lame excuse. She said my expecetations were too high, and this is one of those times that she wish she could pick her clients. I was appalled by her nasty, disrespectful, over the top reaction to me wanting my eyeliner done the way she assured me she could before she started.
She told me that instead of charging me $600 for the procedure, she was only going to charge me $300, and that I could go somewhere else to get my follow-up done because she could not work with me. What a total waste of my time and money.
So, as long as you allow Marcia to do your makeup the way she wants, and don’t care whether your eyeliner looks a hot mess, and you don’t care about being disrespected by someone you are paying, then I’m sure you will do fine with Marcia doing your makeup. I have a higher standard when it comes to service. That’s just me.
I have never in my life been treated so badly by someone that I was paying for a service. Marcia takes the cake. The people who have served me at McDonalds over the years have treated me better, and more professional than Marcia.
She goes on and on about how much better she is than all the other people doing permanent makeup in the KC area because of all her credentials and experience. Funny…because it sure did not show. Not in her work or professionalism.
Good luck to anyone who is willing to take the chance with her. I hope your experience will be better. Just don’t complain and I guess you will be OK.

Marcia turned my dull and unnoticeable eyes to bright and vibrant. For years I was bothered with Dry-Eye Syndrome, so my eyes were constantly watering. I could not keep eyeliner on. After Marcia did the painless eyeliner, I do not have to even apply eyeliner, let along re-apply it. Marcia's credentials speak volumes for her expertise.

Marcia's skill and approach made all the difference in having quality results for my eyebrows, unlike my first try with a different technician. I love my brows and wish I'd gone to Marcia years ago. Happy!

Five stars all the way! Marcia was so kind, caring & experienced. I had my brows done on a Fri afternoon & go back this coming Tues for my eyeliner. It really was a totally painless process - the worst thing I felt was like plucking an eyebrow hair. I'm not good at applying makeup, but with Marcia's help I have found a solution!

SHE HAS YOU LOOK AS SHE IS WORKING SO YOU CAN TWEEK THE LOOK AS YOU GO ALONG. YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT. NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL, CUSTOM LOOK, CUSTOM MEASUREMENTS, CUSTOM COLOR.

I've been to Marcia several times during the last few years and have had most everything done ie: eyebrows, eyeliner, lips etc... Each time I've been impressed by Marcia's knowledge and expertise and her willingness to spend the time get the right results. Each experience has been with minimal discomfort and stress free. I always leave feeling relaxed and happy with the results!

Marcia was very friendly and knowledgeable when I spoke with her over the phone about getting my eyebrows tattooed. She was just as friendly and knowledgeable when I came in for my first procedure. I was very satisfied with the overall experience and was very pleased with the customized look that we created. I experienced very little or no discomfort during my visit and Marcia worked in a very meticulous and professional manner. I will definitely be a repeat customer for future services. Thank you Marcia!
