Provider Review
I never had well-defined, thick brows to begin with and then of course over-plucked in high school. In my twenties I started messing around with permanent make-up. I never liked the look of that, but it was the best thing available at the time, and I hated having to put on make-up everyday. When a friend mentioned a doctor in Miami was creating actual eyebrows out of real hair, I quickly became obsessed. I've now been following Dr. Epstein and this procedure for more than a decade. Ten years ago I was fascinated with what he was doing, but I felt the results weren't quite right. And they were so expensive! I'm fairly certain I remember people quoting prices around $10,000 (it's been awhile, so I might be wrong about that). The last few years I've noticed the before/afters getting better and better. Prices have been coming down. I think average brow prices in U.S. are around $7,500 now - and for much better work. I've also noticed lots of other doctors are now offering this procedure. I made the decision to move forward with this procedure at this time for several reasons; the quality of work available, the improved fees, and my age. I was not a fan of permanent make-up in my twenties and thirties, but it got so much worse in my forties. Thin, obviously fake brows are simply aging. Plus, I had begun experiencing thinning hair at the temples and forehead, typical female pattern hair loss. It was definitely time. I did look into working with some doctors closer to home, but there is simply no one else in this business with the portfolio of eyebrow work that Dr. Epstein has. He is the eyebrow guru. So two weeks ago I flew to Miami with my iPad and Pinterest board filled with pictures of perfect eyebrows collected over several years. Of course I got more and more nervous while traveling. I have wanted this procedure for so long, and it was finally happening. I kept thinking there is no way it will live up to my expectations, and I need to perhaps lower them just a bit. Dr. Epstein was quick to confirm that I would see significant improvement but perfection was unlikely. He was very patient in looking at my Pinterest pictures and getting an idea of what I was hoping for. I think that was more to entertain me, though. He clearly already knew what he wanted to do. He marked up my face and took a picture, one side my way and one side with his suggestion. It was clear from the picture that his side was the perfect design for my face shape. Another reason I wanted to work with a facial plastic surgeon and not a dermatologist or any number of other doctors who also provide this service. I was so excited about the brows that I honestly hadn't worried that much about my hairline. I thought I would get back the pinky width of hair I had lost from my forehead, nothing dramatic. I was wrong. He was able to give me double the improvement I was expecting, and the shape is simply perfection. I think I have an unusual hairline, but he found the ideal way to enhance it. What a difference! I think the pictures clearly show that this procedure was worth it. Obviously, I am still healing, but it is already clear the final results will be beautiful. I highly recommend this procedure and Dr. Epstein, but I would like to also thank his staff. Truly! I can't put into words how refreshing it was to work with staff in the cosmetic surgery industry that seem to actually like and care about their customers. Talented, professional, and not one attitude problem the whole time. Such a rare experience. Roxy, thank you. It took me more than four months to work out my schedule and confirm a booking. I never had to wait long for an answer to any of my questions. You were always available. Elsa and Jose, thank you. Seriously! What an intense and tedious job you have - but you make it fun. I'm fairly certain I was on that table for eight hours. All I remember is you two singing all day long. :-) There were three other women working in the room, creating the little hairs that would be placed into my head. Again, such a tedious job. I'm sorry I didn't get your names. I did, however, notice you spending all day deeply engrossed in the most detailed work - work that I will now live with for the rest of my life. Thank you. Jose - one more compliment. I really did notice how tedious and detailed the work was that was happening that day. It was tough on me, and I had valium to get through it. After lunch I realized I needed to use the restroom. I should have made that call when we took a lunch break, but I was a bit high and not in my right mind. I felt bad telling everyone in the room we needed to stop again when you all had just started working. You were so kind in helping me up and said something I think the whole industry would do well to hear. I apologized for the interruption but you said "no apologies - we all have a job here today because of you." I may be paraphrasing a bit due to the valium, but you definitely said something along those lines. Truly - thank you for making me feel valued as a customer. This industry can be tough to engage with. I am far from the only person who feels this way. Most of my friends are female and forty-something. We're spread out all over the country, but so many of us are finding ourselves in similar circumstances. We want to take care of ourselves as we age. We are willing to invest in the process, but we don't feel valued as clients. So many reasons for that...a conversation for another day. I did have some concern around this topic when I selected Dr. Epstein for the procedure. I was certain that by choosing such a well-known doctor I was going to be forced to work with a staff that was high-maintenance and nightmarish. I could not have been more wrong. Every single member of the staff made me feel welcomed and valuable. Thank you all for that. And Dr. Epstein, these eyebrows are PERFECTION!!! Totally worth the wait. :-)
