Angelbare

I had a surprisingly easy experience from a very professional knowledgeable clinician. Technically proficient, the aesthetician knew how to keep me informed about the procedure, helped me to anticipate any discomfort, and instructed me on what to do before, during, and after the procedures. I felt it was also very thoughtfully advised in terms of what she would recommend to be done ie. Extent of the permanent cosmetics, color, shape, and facial outcomes.

I had been penciling my eyebrows for 15 years and feel uncomfortable about it. I was not sure I looked good and not even after having spent a good amount of time on it. One day my sister said for me to get my eyebrows done. I looked into it and found a place with the most experience. I am very happy with the shape and color. I look younger and prettier. A few months later while I was working a coworker asked if I had had permanent makeup done and I said “yes, but how did you know?” She said “it’s because my sister had it done, but it looks perfect!”

I originally had eyelash enhancement 4 years ago, loved it so much went back to have a thicker line done. So far, I have had eyeliner, and full lip. I have brought my mom, and my friend to Shahla. She makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed. It took one hr and I was fine. I would definitely recommend permanent make-up and do recommend Angelbare. Shahla is very skilled and I felt very safe.

Angelbare in Newton Highlands is absolutely amazing! The permanent make- up she applies is perfect! You look great afterwards and she really makes you feel calm and comfortable during and after the procedures! Not only is she gifted at what she does, she is a kind, generous and sweet person. She is "permanent make-up" at it's best! Her prices are extremely reasonable, but it is the final outcome that is phenomenal. I am a Registered Nurse and highly recommend her for methods of maintaining sterility and cleanliness. I have no doubt that every morning you will wake up ready to go!

What can I say about Angelbare in Newton Highlands? Not only is Shahla Whittemore, the owner of Angelbare, unsanitary and dishonest, she is a complete psychopath. My dealings with her were an absolute nightmare, and with no exaggeration, I lost several nights of sleep because of her. A few months ago, I went to Angelbare to get permanent eyeliner makeup. Because her prices were so inflated compared to other places I have been to, I assumed her work would be of high quality. Instead, I got a shoddy makeup job that was a far lighter color than I had requested (it disappeared in less than 2 weeks), and I even got a gift on top of that: a huge, nasty eye infection. In the middle of the procedure, Shahla would go answer the phone and write down appointments (multiple times) without removing or replacing her gloves. So after going to the doctor, I returned to Angelbare, and asked to be reimbursed. It was like watching a real-life Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She instantly turned into the angriest, meanest, most abrasive person I have ever met. She berated me and screamed in my face. When I told her I would report her, she replied threateningly: "Go ahead. I know where you live, and I know where your daughter lives". She did indeed have my information, as well as my daughter's, since I added her as my emergency contact. Two days letter, my daughter received a suspicious postcard from Shahla simply stating: "Happy Birthday!" [My daughter's birthday was months away.] "Please accept this gift card as a token of our appreciation." [There was no card enclosed]. Needless to say, I panicked, and went straight to the police to file a report, and get a restraining order, but couldn't do the latter because the postcard did not constitute an explicit threat. The police simply called her and ordered her never to contact me or my daughter ever again. Still, I couldn't sleep for many nights, fearing for my daughter's safety as well as mine. I couldn't be sure this woman wouldn't do anything crazy. She certainly looked like the crazy type the last time I saw her. Anyway, in the end, I didn't get anything back from her, and couldn't even take her to small claims court, as the contract she made me sign before the procedure protected her completely and unequivocally from any litigation. In short, avoid this woman and her business like the plague.

I arrived at Angelbare, with my sister, to get my eyebrows. Sheila Whitmore kept referring to me with a different name and gave me 4 pages to fill out before we started the session. I filled out my personal info and signed all pages. I asked her if I could have my sister with me so I can get her opinion on how I would like my eyebrows done since it is going to be permanent tattooed to my face. She looked at me with a blank look, stared at my sister, and said (word for word), "You want her opinion? Look at her eyebrows. They are crooked and yours look perfect, so why do you want her opinion?” My sister and I were shocked. I told Sheila that’s ok, we can just get started without my sister but Sheila continued to offend my sister by staring at her and saying, "Her eyebrows are crooked, they are too long, and too big". My sister told her that was very unnecessary to judge her eyebrows and to say all those offensive words only just because I asked if my sister can give me her opinions. Things got out of hand because she kept screaming louder at my sister saying that she had no right to give me opinions because her eyebrows weren't "at her standards" to give opinions. She said that we were very unprofessional (go figure) for arguing with her since she knew what she was doing. I grabbed my bag and told her I'm glad to have found out what personality she had because if my eyebrows didn't turn out the way I liked it- she would lash out at me. I took the 4 pages that had my private info on it and clipped it under my arms to walk out with it. She used her hand to stop me by my shoulder with one hand and used both hands to jerk the paper out from between my arm and bag. I was shocked and I didn't think it was right so I held onto the paper while we both we jerking. Sheila said she wanted her paper back and I said that it was MY PRIVATE INFO on it and I didn't think it was right for her to keep it. We continued to argue about that and she screamed at me to throw it in the bathroom from behind me. I refused to, with that attitude, to abide by her request. While walking down the stairs, she said (word for word), "Good luck on finding a boyfriend". We couldn't believe our ears, so we turned around and I asked, "Why do you keep making rude comments?! You had no right to judge my twin sister's eyebrows with your rude comments just because I wanted to get her opinion on what's tattooed to my face." Sheila had no explanation for it. She argued with us and started changing the story around to try and justify what she said earlier, she told us that she just wanted to give her opinions on my sister's eyebrows because, with all clients, when they come with someone she judges them as well so she can get their service. After leaving, she called me and apologized from this number (617)777-3390 and said that she didn't mean to offend us. I told her that what she said was very unprofessional and if she had an overweight daughter, wouldn't she take it offensive if the doctor said she couldn't give her opinion since she was fat as well. (Sorry, had to do it) She tried to give me some story that she had similar to this and I told her I refuse to listen because I will admit the truth and quote her word for word. She said, as an apology for her actions, she wanted us both to come back so she can give us a session on our eyebrows. Of course, I said no. There is no way I'm letting her even give me a free session, let alone, pay her for her services. So before you think about going to Angelbare with Sheila Whitmore, ask yourself- Does my mother, sister, or friend have eyebrows up to Sheila Whitmore’s standards to give opinions because if they don't, you will suffer the consequences of Sheila Whitmore rudely pointing her pencil in your face, jerking her expensive paper from your hands, criticizing your loved ones of how unperfected their eyebrows are, and wishing you good luck on your adventures of never being able to find a boyfriend.
