I never get tired of online shopping, especially during the holidays. Here's the thing. It's kind of gross out.

Even those of us that embrace the chilly weather need something to break up long winter nights. Something I love to do is treat myself to a little something, but I don't want to spend a fortune on my winter blues. That's where Quince comes in. I'm absolutely obsessed with my Quince luggages. I took them on tour. I brought them home and they're still like brand new. I'm pretty much obsessed with this brand, but there is something else that everyone needs in their closet, in my opinion. Quince's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters, which start at $50. Or if you want to really up the luxe factor, check out their Italian leather handbags, washable silk skirts, and European linen sheet sets.

Whatever you're looking for, all Quince items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices.

I am so excited because I really missed you guys and obviously you guys missed me too because you guys DM me all the time and I love it. But today we have like a really special treat. This girl I found like I find all of my victims I was stalking her for months on Instagram um because I needed to get my eyebrows done and I had gotten my eyebrows done one time before and I just wasn't like thrilled with them and they faded and I was scared to get it done again so I watched this girl and this girl's name is Jessie for a few months and she really is the GOAT dude. Like her work like speaks for itself. It's so insane. So I have Jessie here

from Inked Beauty. What's up, baby? How are you? Hi, I'm good. She's so cute, you guys. She's so cute. Like when I walked in, I was like, look at this little fucking package. Like not only is she a fucking boss, she's hot too too what made you get into the beauty industry oh my gosh a bunch of things i mean i can say the most cliche stuff i've always oh yeah i've always loved it but it's a bunch of shit honestly like i worked for a plastic surgeon for a while and i just just fell in love with it so i went from there and you just is it only eyebrows that you do or what is everything that you do kind of give everybody like a yeah just everything down of what you do so in general i just do um mostly brows i also do some lash liner um but my other girls they do lips they do liner freckles tooth

gems um i want the freckles oh they're so cute and then um we also do filler, Botox, chemical peels. We got it all, the whole package. Just so you guys know, this is where I get my fillers done too. So if you're in Nashville, you have to come to Inked Beauty. You are a part owner, right? Of this business. So you're a little boss babe. Like I think that's so awesome. That's another thing that I loved about her when I met her. She's just like so so humble but she's like a boss like she has her own we're sitting in the salon as we speak right now because for part two of this um we're gonna have a video on um YouTube for you guys to watch of her doing my best friend Monica's eyebrows she was gonna do mine but I have so many videos to um shoot this week I was just like you know what do my friend she needs your help my friend has no my friend has no brows help her out yes so how long

have you been in the beauty industry uh 12 years wow so you've been at it a long time oh yeah I started you know the getaway in the back of a beauty supply store but but that's how but that's okay look at you now yeah I made my way up yeah exactly i think that's so cool do you realize that your what you're doing helps people oh my gosh i love it so much every day like yes oh i've i've had like no brows so like i lived in fort lauderdale and i would not even go to the beach because i was so self-conscious about it. Like seriously. Yeah. It's so embarrassing.

I can't even grow a fucking eyebrow. You saw my eyebrows. I can't either. I cannot grow a fucking eyebrow to save my life. But I think what's so cool about the industry that you're in is like, it's, I mean, it's for men too,

but it really is like women empowerment. Like a woman comes into your chair and she's sitting there and she's like, dude, I don't feel my best. And then she looks, you know, in the mirror and her fucking eyebrows are on fleek and she feels like she could take on the world you know i mean confidence is everything it really is everything and people don't realize you know um i sometimes i get a lot of backlash online of people saying you know why

do you get so much stuff done you need to just be natural first of all who the fuck cares about being natural i don't you're just mad that you can't do it yourself no it's like i don't want to be natural i want to fucking i want to look i want you to see my money on my face right whatever makes you confident and there's a reason why i'm 40 years old and i don't look like i'm 40 years old except for on this right side of my eye right now no you look amazing thanks so tell me a little bit about yourself you're a tourist i am that was another thing stubborn tours that was another thing i loved it better because my entire team is

What does a week here at the salon look like for you? Oh my gosh. Um, a normal week right now for me is five days a week, anywhere from eight to 10 hours. I mean, it's actually, it's gone down so much. I went from doing seven days a week, 12 hours a day, 14 hour days, whatever it took to get us here.

Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And then you brought in Christy, who is amazing. And you guys, I'm going to do a separate segment with Christy one of these days, as soon as I get back from Vegas, I'm going out to Vegas. So you guys can actually see Christy do some work on me. Cause you guys always have so many questions about what I get done. Um, but so I sat in Justin's chair and what is it that you did to my eyebrows? Is it called like ombre? Yeah. So we actually did a combination. We did a little bit of microblading and we did some, um, ombre shading. Um, but we had to do a little bit corrective work. So shading was definitely the best option. Plus you wear makeup, you know, you get the filler. So it's always, it just gives you a little extra oomph to your brows.

I love it. And we did them a little bit darker too, because I love that Madonna look, you know, like when Madonna had platinum hair with the dark brows. Oh, I love lots of dark brows. Dude, that was like so hot. And I was just like, I need that look. What are the different types of eyebrows that you do? Because you just mentioned one of them, right?

Yeah. Well, the combination. Yeah. So I do microblading, which is just like the simple hair strokes which that's what everybody is attracted to oh microblading but honestly it's really not good for very many people it's only good for the person that has really dry skin um very youthful skin and very fine brows so um that's good to know i never knew that yeah i mean it's just the title it's what got famous that's what i got originally right yeah i didn't love it it's really not

good for everybody and it doesn't blend very well if you don't have hair um if you're oilier it just it's not always the best option but you said it's good for young skin and i don't have it so no wonder it's good for those pores are super small and like perfect skin like that's what it's good for other than that if you don't have that do shading yeah that's what's gonna look best gotcha and then what are they yet so it's uh it's microblading i do um ombre which is shading and then the combination of two which is microblading and shading what is the process everybody is always like, does that hurt? You know, blah, blah, blah. I personally think the first time I got it done was way more painful than when you did it.

Yeah. And it didn't even stick half as much. Is it like a tattoo? Does it depend on the person who's doing it? Oh, my gosh, yes, for sure. It definitely depends on the person. It is a tattoo. We're a fully tattoo studio.

Oh, cool. Yeah. Have you ever tattooed? No, no. I think you'd be amazing at it because your lines are so perfect i would love to i would love to get into that but it's like a whole different world i would love it but um the process i mean we numb before so we do add a lidocaine we know for about 20 minutes prior. And then we'll pre-draw a map. You'll get to see everything, approve the shape. You know, unless you're fully comfortable, we don't move forward.

But as far as like pain and the healing process, it does vary per artist, you know? I think it's tolerable, though. I don't think it's like, oh, my God, this is fucking so much. Like, I feel like getting a tattoo on your rib cage is way worse than fucking getting your eyebrows i mean we don't tattoo nearly as deep as a typical tattoo um and that's kind of what just makes us a little bit different we we work very shallow um so it it's very it should be pretty painless and how long do they last so i recommend annual touch-ups um just because you want to you know know, make them fresh. But they can last up to three years.

That's awesome. Some people wait that long, but I definitely don't. Why do they fade? Because these tattoos don't really fade. So why do these fade? Is it because you don't go as deep? Yeah, so we do work shallow. Yeah, and your typical tattoos do fade, but it's just the process of your skin turning over and the exfoliation process.

And we do work a lot shallower. So it does fade. The pigment oxidizes. Gotcha. Yeah. Well, I'm excited to see if I can change over Momo's eyebrows. Oh, my gosh. Is Momo on camera?

Can we get a shot of Momo over here? Monica's like, thanks. Look at my bald eagle eyebrows. They're going to be fire in a second you're gonna yeah no it's gonna change your whole face yeah like a good set of brows really like draws attention to your eyes yeah i think it accentuates everything dude it like it's like a fucking highlighter for your brow bone you know like i just love love love what you're doing and i appreciate you for letting me come here and just document the entire process.

So what we're going to do is for the second part of this, we are going to head over to YouTube and I'm going to let you guys in. Actually, I'm sorry. Jessie's going to let you guys in on the process. She's going to walk you through exactly from step one to the final. And we're going to get to see Monica's little makeover. So I'm really excited. Jessie, thank you so much for being here. thank you so much for having me yeah for sure girl
