Posted on GoogleMaureen HannanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loni did a great job with my microblading, making my brows look very natural. She approaches it as an artist, using very fine, subtle strokes to restore and fill out the natural arches of the brows. She also cuts and colors my hair. She really understands thick wavy hair and how to take the bulk out while adding texture. And her advice on color has been spot-on. I highly recommend Gilded Lily Beauty Bar.Posted on GoogleNancy KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lonie is amazing!
