  • Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value | I just completed the Ivey Artistry academy for microblading and powder brows with Jeanette. I am overwhelmed by the support everyone in the studio offered me throughout the week! Everyone at Ivey is so passionate and knowledgeable. Jeanette sets her students and team up for success without question. I not only left Ivey with a starter kit filled with amazing high quality tools, but a passion for cosmetic tattooing and a type of confidence I never knew I needed. Empowered women, empower women. That’s exactly how everyone at Ivey will make you feel! I will recommend Ivey over and over again. If you need bomb brows, lips, liner or even if you are looking to learn the art - Ivey is where you need to be!!

  • Professionalism | I can't say enough about Ivey Artistry. They not only help to transform people into who they want to be, but also who they used to be. As a cancer patient, treatments stripped me of things that we often see as part of our identity. I lost my hair and wore a wig, but when I lost my eyebrows, once amazing and quite prominent, I didn't look like myself at all. Since they had always been full and thick, I never used makeup so I had no idea how to do them properly... after months of attempting to create my brows everyday so that people would treat me normally, a friend told me to go see Jeanette at Ivey Artistry. Jeanette is not only the owner, she's an amazing artist, and the one of the kindest souls I've ever met. She not only made me feel comfortable and confident about microblading, she was so compassionate about my situation. To ensure that I would look like my "old self", she encouraged me to bring my daughter to my appointment. (she has a daughter as well and understands that relationship) During my service she not only made us feel comfortable, she made my daughter feel included and part of the process. After careful measuring, sketching and explaining, the microblading was painless and much faster than I expected. Most importantly, when Jeanette was finished and I sat up to see my new brows, my daughter exclaimed, "OMG mom, you look like yourself!" Needless to say, we were all in tears and hugging. That was three years ago. I went back yesterday for a quick touch up (and hugs) and brought a friend of mine who is interested in getting her brows done. Jeanette went out of her way to make my friend feel included... she had a chair for her so she could watch and explained what she was doing as she was doing it... and not because it's potential business, it's because she loves what she's doing and why she does it. No surprise, my touched up brows look phenomenal! I am grateful for Jeanette and her amazing work and spirit. Jeanette and her team will forever be part of our family. THANK YOU!!!

  • Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality I wanted to share how impressed I was by the personalized service I received. After having my brows micro bladed I had a bit of a panic and was needing reassurance that my brows would be less intense .... and Jeanette went so far out of her way to calm me and build my trust that I’ll never forget her kindness. She and Allie were right, only a day later my brows looked great because the minor swelling went down and the beautiful microblading result was revealed. So, take a lesson from this... they know what they are doing and just trust in the process because you’ll be soooooo happy that you did. I can’t wait for my follow up appointment and enjoying their beautiful work for years to come. Thank you Allie & Jeanette <3

Their pristine and modern studio gives off good vibes and they always have amazing music selection.
