$500
I did not do my research, I went for the cheapest price and I paid the price!!
The (so called specialist) sounded so professional - however during the 2nd procedure she slipped on my right eye liner and you can see from the images that it is a mess! I have paid a further £500 to get this corrected by another specialist (who is brilliant may I add) Never would Go with the first lady ever again. Awful!!

Hello Brit,
I asked the technician to fix the issue and she wanted to charge me a further £195! She said it was my fault as I had "picked out" the pigment! But as you can clearly see she slipped. I found Diahann Berridge, who was so professional and she had to correct the work, it took another 3 procedures to get it right. Diahann was really confident and now I have a smokey effect which is good.

Well Jetson, even though you had to go through all of that at least you had it taken care of and ended up with the look you wanted in the end. I'm glad it all worked out. Please keep us updated.
Thanks,

I feel for you. They slipped with mine too and I get comments from time to time. After being on RealSelf so much I would never go to another office that wasn't a dermatologist.

Hi Kate, I have to disagree with your comments. As not all permanent make up techs are so slap dash with their work. Yes, testimonials and photos of the the techs work should be shown. And not all doctors offices who offer permanent make up will be doing it themselves! They could quite easily employ some one under their umbrella. Take heed anyone wishing for permanent make up, do your research or repent at your leisure. I am lucky I dont have to trust anyone? I do all my own permanent make up.

Hi, well after having this bad experience and a good experience - I am now a fully qualified Semi Permanent Make Up Technician and I am very professional - so I guess that this bad experience compelled me to learn and study this art. So out of a bad situation came a positive ending.
Thanks for your comments. x

hi thnakyou for that, i am so upset its making feel so stupid and foolish knowing that i may have to live with this for the rest of my life. i really appreciate your kindness and words of encouragement , and i am so hoping it will fade quick, im usually a lap swimmer in summer so ill be swimming more often in salt water and chlorine just to fade t quicker. i will try and smile , its not happening at the moment. she numbed it but the line she drew was crazy big and i looked at her and said it was too big, and she serif that it wont be that bad. i think all tattooists really should have that done to them to real know how it feels , i hate the lip line and have made enquiries to see if its possible to remove that at least. Is it possible to do that.? the worst part was i was leaving to buy property 5 hours away and had to deal with agents being in discomfort and painfully aware of the sloppy job i'm living with. when you said it will soften i felt better. much appreciation to you. hope your all happy with your experience.

Now I am a semi permanent make up technician and I also did advanced training and also tattoo removal :-)
Look into a really talented technician and see if they can help you x

I had my full face done at Diane's permanent makeup in RI. she did an incredible job at half the price of others. It turned ou so natural no one even knows! It changed my life around and i love Diane for helping me.
Hi Jetson,
I'm glad you were able to get it fixed. Did you have it removed and reapplied or how did they fix it? Thanks for the pictures and please keep us updated. :)
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
