I just finished a 2 day course at Chicago Academy of Permanent Makeup and I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was! Gina is extremely skilled, talented and an excellent educator. Her professionalism, patience and teaching skills are amazing. I appreciated the 1:1 learning environment and the facility is lovely. So happy that I chose this class!
Gina is so wonderful! Her 5 day course and touch up class taught me everything I needed to start my own permanent makeup business immediately after our little "graduation"! She truly cares that each student has what they need to suceed in this industry. I'm planning on taking private lessons with her in the future to dive into even more advanced techniques. She is so great at what she does!
Not sure of the results yet… will update as I go. I am going through the process of eyebrow removal. I felt right at home here! Gina was SO nice and accommodating. Very clean and professional! I would highly recommend this place if you are looking into permanent makeup. As I stated before I am going through a pretty lengthy process of removal and after this I will be having her re-do my eyebrows. As far as the atmosphere here, absolutely wonderful!
Gina takes her time to make sure your eyebrows are just right! She explains as she goes so you know what to expect. Mine turned out great!
GINA IS AWESOME!! From the moment I walked into the beautiful
Gina Maya Permanent Makeup Studio to the end of my service I was treated so nicely and was so impressed by her! I was so happy with the results and her work, my eyebrows look amazing she is truly the best! I definitely recommend this place as the only place to do your brows.
I was pretty nervous about getting my brows done. Gina told me from the start that I could come for a consultation and if I was uncomfortable or not sure there was no obligation. From the first few minutes with Gina and in her studio, I felt so comfortable and at ease. She is a true professional and very talented. My brows look fantastic and I cannot recommend her enough!
The best microblading ever!!
I've struggled for years with growing eyebrows. After working up enough nerve, 4 years later I made an appointment with Gina to have them microbladed. She did an amazing job. I wish I would have done it sooner. Not only is she great at her craft, she is also a super awesome person too.
Gina is so knowledgeable!! She is super friendly and listens to your needs and expectations. I highly recommend her. Easy going, professional, and very efficient and a perfectionist! She took her time and made me feel very at ease and gave me gorgeous eyebrows! 10 out of 10!!!!
Amazing work. Very talented and extremely easy to talk to. She understands her clients needs and makes suggestions if necessary. What a great experience!
I could not be more thrilled about my eyebrows. Gina is so amazing and helps make you feel comfortable through the entire process. I lover that she took her time and worked hard on giving me what I want. I have had a problem with growing back my eyebrows from a very young age and now I feel more confident in my appearance. I am truly thankful for her artistic abilities because I can walk around with confidence and feel beautiful on the outside. I recommend you go to Gina if you ever want permanent makeup. Trustworthy and quality work.
Gina is very professional, kind and cares about what you want to achieve with your brows. I brought my mother to see her the other day, and if you could see her smile when we left... i would surprise her with it a thousands times over! Thank you for giving her the confidence boost she needed!
Amazing!! Brand new studio space. Very clean and new. Uses one time instruments and throws them away. Looking for a grem free environment, look no further. Gina takes the time and listens to your needs. She's come a long way!! Takes her time to learn the newest techniques and is starting her own training academy this July, CHICAGO ACADEMY OF PERMANENT MAKEUP.
