I am Canadian and have very light and sparse eyebrows. Over the years, I tried everything from oils, serums, putting Latisse on my eyebrows to promote growth, tossing out my tweezers, all with little to no effect. That cycle all came to a halt when a friend told me about microblading. I became obsessed with the idea that my friend's eyebrows looked amazing and that she no longer needed to fill them in with makeup every morning so I decided to book an appointment with the top microblading expert of New York City : Nadia Afanaseva at Eye Design.

Nadia is very professional and a true perfectionist. She spent 2.5 hour with me to make sure that the result was absolutely perfect. She works with the brow bone and the structure of your face to make sure that the shape of your eyebrows is perfect for your face. She also used a custom color to match my natural brow color. My eyebrows looked amazing right away and the hair-stokes look incredibly natural.

Verdict? Triple thumbs up for microblading. The process was relatively painless and the results mind-blowing. It leaves me wondering why I haven't done this earlier.

Worth every penny. Absolutely life changing for me and my over plucked brows. Nadia is an expert. I don't believe there could be anyone more skilled at microblading. If you have been thinking about it, go. The space is immaculate and beautiful. The receptionists are polite and proactive. And most importantly, you leave feeling beautiful and confident.

Just got Microblading done by Nadia and she is AMAZING. I've never seen my eyebrows like this before in my life! They look so natural and REAL and I'm simply speechless. If you're struggling with having to draw your eyebrows everyday. Go to Nadia, you will be on cloud 9 just like I am right now.

I booked an appointment at eye design to see Nadia for microblading. I booked in March and couldn't get an appointment until October - they (especially Nadia) are THAT booked. I called and asked to be placed on a waiting list. I got the call and went in on July 22nd! I was ecstatic because I did not want to wait that long. I got lucky.

The girls at the desk are super sweet. All very helpful. Nadia ran a little late and they were so apologetic. But seeing now what a perfectionist Nadia is, I am so glad I did not get upset at the time about the wait. She is INCREDIBLE. A master at her craft and clearly passionate about it. She took all of my concerns with my current eyebrow shape (or lack there of) into consideration. She is so nice and kept making sure that I was okay and/or if I was in pain throughout the procedure. She was fun to talk to and is so beautiful! Listen ladies, there are a lot of "microbladers" out there now - but this is not a joke. This is semi-permanent ink on your FACE!!!! Nadia recently raised her prices but that is because the demand is HIGH and her and her girls are constantly working. She is worth every penny. I already made my touch up appointment and can't wait to go back - and they haven't even healed yet! Nadia is the BEST of all the microbladers out there.

I always get worried with Yelp reviews - who wrote it..were they told to..did they get something out of it. I am telling you - I am JUST an extremely satisfied customer and thought that this place deserves their bragging rights... So I wanted to help them get just that!!!

I had the worst eyebrows and thanks to Nadia she fixed them and they look perfect. I was nervous and she told me not to worry.. I went back to get my lashes done by Iness and she did an awesome job. I highly recommend Eye Design Studio. They truly know how to design your eyes. :)

Glamour full set done by the incredible Helen (Cat eye from 9 to 14 mid curl) I couldn't be happier with them. She is extra nice and extra professional! Helen do my eyelashes always and she take very well care of my natural lashes, they are as healthy as the first day.
The incredible Nadia did my Microblading back in January and she did such an amazing job that I didn't need a touch up!!! She is a perfectionist and worth every penny!!! You so have to go to this amazing salon!!!
*Tip: book your appointments with months in advance since they are super full all the time due the MAGNIFICENT job they do.

I was someone who always spent so much time drawing my eyebrows when i did my make up. So a friend recommended me to go to Nadia and do microblading. And wow my eyebrows now are so perfect :)))
Nadia is gentle and so detailed. She will make sure you get what(the eyebrows) you want. The salon is clean and everyone working there is friendly.
I've recommended this place to all my friends.
