SEMI PERMANENT MAKE-UP @ BOOTHZ- A Truly, Horrible and Traumatic Experience! :(
I went to Boothz to have semi permanent makeup done on my lips and brows to give a bit more colour and definition to these areas, as i am quite fair-skinned...now i really wish i hadn't! :(
At first consultation, the highly-botoxed, practicioner and owner, 'A', was plausably nice and friendly, but while in the chair and also, once money was exchanged, she turned into a totally different, un-caring, impatient person.
While having the procedure done, 'A' also pursuaded me to have my top and bottom eye-liner done at a discounted price, a saving for having all of the treatments, but no discount was actuallly ever given in the end. This resulted in costing me the best part of £1000 and being treated with such rudeness and disregard, that I would be certainly unhappy to return.
The eye-liner/lip-liner was really painful as she pressed down very hard and used no anasthetic...probably to save money...nor did she anesthetise my brows, causing me to bleed and be in discomfort and my eyes to water heavily. My lips also had obvious gaps, it did not look finished or like it had been done properley.
My watering eyes made 'A' irritated and impatient, causing her to be very short and rude with me, scolding me as if i was a naughty school-child- as if i could stop my eyes watering!
Towards the end of my session, she also called in a receptionist, aged all of 21-who had already had botox!-to re-inforce her belief that i really needed to have botox as soon as possible, as well! talk about cross-selling!!! I am not even 30! :@ How rude! But it gets worse...
Initally sore, but relieved to be out of the bitchy salon, i realised within ten days of healing that there were definite, patchy gaps of skin left in between my eyebrows, which i had to pencil in myself. Also my eye and lip liner did not look complete with distinct breaks in the lines of colour, resulting in an un-even appearence and one eye looked distinctly darker than the other!
I rang the salon to arrange for a touch-up appointment where i hoped she would finish off the job and make it look even. 'A' answered with attitude and hurriedly told me that the healing process was not yet over and that i was worrying un-neccessarily...reluctantly, she booked me in for the following week. I could tell that she really couldn't be bothered seeing me again and doing a proper job and was proven right again at my next appointment. I had paid in cash and no proper receipt was given and she didn't want to finish the job.
On arrival she treated me as though i was deluded and lying, barely checking over her handy work with glazed eyes and shaking her head saying she thought it looked fine and that it was it waste of time me being there! Reluctantly, and with some sighing and defensive attitude, she mumbled- she do some of it.
Throughout this session, i felt very uncomfortable. She was cold and rude, barely speaking to me and abrupt, nasty and impatient in manner. On asking if she'd just fill in an obvious gap on my brow, she behaved really bizarely, taking it all very personally as though i had insulted her 'work'. At one point she slammed the door and walked off in a huff and left me sitting there for a few minutes, not knowing if i should stay or go! :( At this point, a fellow beauty therapist- employee and acquaintance, gestured and rolled her eyes in acknowledgement of 'A's' rude, odd behaviour! She had witnessed her mood and appeared to be equally as shocked as i was.
On asking her to finish my lip line, she raved about having to open another file of colour, and what it would cost her in time and products! She said i could book another appointment for this to be completed but id have to pay £70 extra!!!! She also ranted, in no un-certain means, that she didn't want to see me again and have to do it all again! Charming and proffessional!-not. If she had done it properley the 1st time, i wouldnt have had to come back the 2nd time? i certainly did not expect to be asked to pay extra for this privelidge! :@
Had she had a bad day, or a bad month...? Regardless, I certainly didn't deserve to be treated this badly, especially not after parting with such a large sum of money and putting my face in her care!
I felt like crying and I did when i left.
My brows, eyes and lips have still not been properley finished to this day, and my eyes and lips still look un-even and rubbish.
I certainly would not reccomend this lady or this clinic!
