Super happy with Mirella"s work, highly recommended.

I do reviews on a regular basis. 99% positive ones and I do enjoy writing them. This one has been taking me some time to decide what to do or say, because it’s coming from the opposite side. I visited Mirella’s place to meet with the permanent make-up artist, Cindy Chernoff. My previously tattooed eyebrows had faded and I was looking for a professional to bring them back to the shape and this time, have them feathered. I went through lots of internet browsing and made a few phone calls, when I chose to go with Cindy, because she was in my area. Price-wise, she was the same like her competitors in White Rock or West Vancouver. Being indolent cost me this ordeal. I will make it easy on me to write it and for everyone who’ll read it: • I came with a picture and my eyebrows done the way I wanted to have them. I didn’t end with the shape and the techniques. I asked for her web page, she had none then and on her phone she showed me a few images of eyebrows done. None of what I saw was practice on me. None whatsoever! I have 2 lines shaped the way far from what I wanted. • Cindy worked on me as a “lying down” patient at a dentist’s, sitting at top of my head. She was leaning on my face, putting her weight, pushing my eye-balls or nose, or wherever on my face she felt comfortable. My reaction didn’t move her at all. • When she finished one eyebrow, she immediately wanted to move to do another one. When I asked for a mirror, it took 3 times for me to ask for it, until she was willing to give it to me. She wanted to do the full work without me to even look if anything should be fixed before the other eyebrow follows the shape of the first one….She would sigh with aggravation when I asked to see myself. • My eyebrows were supposed to be dark brown. They are grey. Actually grey/blue! No feathering techniques were used by Cindy on me. • There was a fan about 3 meters away from me, blowing with a full power. After sitting there about 15 minutes, I asked her to turn it down a bit. She retorted it will be too hot here”. Not even a try to resolve situation, that we both are happy. When I asked to at least turn it different way, again, with a judgment in her attitude, she did. • It is always an issue to find parking around and when I got there, I mentioned that I parked couple blocks away, that’s why I was a bit late (I have had a recent foot surgery). With a smirk on her face she replied “I always have a spot available in front of the door”. I tried to make it loose and funny and said that maybe she should leave it for the costumers; she didn’t show any type of consent… • I contacted her today and result of our conversation brought me to this decision to type a review on her unprofessional character. I expressed my disappointment and the resulting color I can see when the scabs disappeared. She objected that this is not the final shade. However, I don’t have brown brows, but grey. And I don’t believe that one day soon grey will switch to brown. Her last message was, that “this is too funny” (?) • Cindy didn’t show a bit of respect to me as a customer. Her ideas and opinions were on top of everything. Her demeanours have never been shown to me by anybody I have met as a business person on a Canadian Ground. I have been working with and for people for decades, but I don’t believe, that people who don’t like people and cannot work for their satisfaction, should be working for them.. WOULD I EVER RECOMMEND CINDY CHERNOFF? NO. WOULD I EVER VISIT HER AGAIN? NEVER. There’s so much positive energy in peoples’ businesses all around. I felt it with each and every lady while on the phone when I was looking for the RIGHT artist. Cindy doesn’t have what they do. I will never care how far I have to drive to get what I need and want. This board would not let me post the review without rating... That one highlighted start should not be there...

Just had my cover-up tattoo done by Miss. Mirella and I could not Be Happier!!

Kevin Eugene

Great job. Loved Mirella too. It's as I described to her; more of a tattoo spa than the fierce tattoo studios out there.

What can I say about Mirella...I first walked into her studio in 2005..and liked her right away...four amazing tattoos later...I thought I should say that our last project turned out fantastic..from the design stage to making it come to life...Mirella has created a masterpiece that expressed everything I wanted to say with this tattoo...Thanks my friend.. See you soon for our next project!

I don't usually do reviews but this time I wanted to. I recently had my eyebrows done by Cindy, I thought I wanted to get them microbladed until she explained the difference between microblading and regular hair stroke permanent makeup to me. I have to tell you that from the beginning and trough the whole process Cindy took very good care of me. When she did them the first time, I barely felt anything. She seemed to know exactly how I was feeling and exactly when to add numbing cream. She made sure that I was clear on what to expect. I went back for my touchup in 5 weeks, there was very little to do but she went over them and tweeked what needed it. Now I have to say I have amazing eyebrows that should last 3 to 5 years. This has been a very positive experience. Wendy N

When I wanted to get my 4th tattoo I wanted to go to a shop that was reputable and see an artist who was local and experienced. After extensive research I chose Mirella. She has 40 years of experience and is a pioneer in being the first female tattoo artist in the Metro Vancouver area. An accomplishment I personally revere. Mirella offered me some valuable ideas in our process of making my tattoo come to life. Her steady hand, her keen eye and her striving to give her best was comforting. And the end result for me was exactly the tattoo I wanted. Mirella is far and above any of my previous tattoo artist and I whole heartedly recommend her. If experience, knowledge, and professionalism is what you are looking for then I suggest starting here first.

Had two things done last Tuesday...brows and my first tattoo. One week later and both have healed perfectly! I followed all the after care instructions given to me at the shop so had no trouble at all. Candice did my 'Powder Fill' brows...she has a very nice personality and made me feel comfortable and at ease right away. I'm very happy with her work and the new 'brows she created for me. I would recommend her for sure. Mirella did my tattoo after helping me design it during a visit the week prior. I'm very pleased with my tattoo as I knew I would be. I had been hearing about the good work she does for many years, and I always knew that Mirella's is where I would go. I definitely am not disappointed and will be going back for another tattoo soon.
