"I had been thinking of getting my sparse eyebrows tattooed for years but had always been too nervous as I am a minimal makeup gal and imagined looking like Grouch Marx. However, Caprice sent me many before and after photos and answered a string of questions before I even made an appointment.
Caprice is a perfectionist, taking her time to measure out the exact outline of your brows and making sure you are happy with it. She checks in that you are not in pain and explains what she is doing along the way.
I have been so happy with the results and received so many compliments. I would highly recommend booking an eyebrow appointment with Caprice."
