Ladies, consider Ramona's services a gift to yourself. Day #1: Consult day. A 45-minute play day with crayons (not really). I came in for an initial consult, an opportunity to allow Ramona the dubious pleasure of convincing me I should do this, permanent eyeliner and brows. Me chicken? Yep. A white haired, fair skinned, be-freckled German/Scottish grandma with nearly invisible brows and sparse eyelashes, I expected she would tell me my face was too old, too wrinkly, too irreparable for her services. She would then advise, "Tsk, better you put a bag over your head", and shake her head solemnly. In fact, this did not happen and gentle Ramona calmly reminded me she has been doing even more challenging cases than this for decades. After seeing photos of fair skinned, older women who came out remarkably well under her artistry, I accepted the fact that my face just might be redeemable. I usually sport an 'au natural" look, partially because I am lazy, and more importantly because I am practically blind. Embarrassingly, I need a 7x magnifying mirror to even attempt an application of makeup to my eyes. Ramona rubbed her hands together with glee and started to play with my face using removable makeup, then announced she would mix custom colors for my brows due to my yellowish skin tone. I looked in the mirror, smiled, and booked my appointment for the very next day. Day #2: The day was long, nearly 3 hours of "face do-over". No turning back now. Ramona, gentle, efficient, and quick, was very reassuring and professional. The actual tattooing did not take that long. The first hour was spent filling out waivers, testing brow and eyeliner ink colors (she did that custom mix for me) and sitting quietly waiting for the numbing topical to take effect. After meticulously documenting everything she would be using on my face, she scrubbed up, donned a surgical mask and gown, mounted some weird magnifying glasses on her head, and slipped on sterile gloves. This was not a back alley tattoo parlor. The brows were done with microblading and shading techniques that went quickly and almost painlessly. It was the eyelids that betrayed me. I will not pull punches, my eyelids required more stamina and cooperation: two applications of numbing solution for me followed by buzzzzzing, tickling, and some slight pinching just to complete what she called "hairline strokes", a thin line at the base of my eyelashes, interspersed with a few moments of badly needed respite. My fair skinned eyes swelled and wise Ramona pronounced my eyes had had enough for that day. One and a half days later, the swelling was all gone. My second visit 4 weeks later was when we tackled the eyeliner portion first then finished the touch ups of the eyebrows. This took less time. Four weeks later I returned a third time for some simple touch ups at no additional charge. I am very pleased with the final outcome. The small studio is located on the second floor of a non-descript commercial building. Expect to climb a steep flight of stairs. Since she works by appointment, her hours are far more flexible than indicated on this Yelp site. This is a one-woman studio. That means you have her full, undivided attention. Everything was exceedingly clean, sterile, efficiently laid out, yet with a relaxing spa-like feel - with mellow New Age music playing in the background, a trickling fountain, and a soft herbal scent in the air. Disclosure: I am thankful this is called "Permanent" makeup. It will not go down as one of my most fun experiences to date. However, the benefits are obvious. It's lasting power alone is worth it. Her clients usually wait 9-10 years before they need another touch up. Wow! Eliminating the costs of purchasing eye makeup and avoiding infection of using said makeup is reason enough, but the freedom to wake up to a nearly finished face that looks fresh and consistent each day is the big winner. The key to a good experience is ultimately finding an aesthetician who is considerate, gentle, and excels at their craft. Ramona is surely one. She is a wonderful artist and I love having me photographed now. read more

Ramona does an excellent job. I would highly recommend her services. I wouldn't think of trusting my eyes to anyone else. She is friendly, efficient, clean, and she listens to what you want. read more

I've always wanted permanent eyeliner and eyebrows but was always too afraid to have it done. After talking with Ramona I felt very confident to have her do it. Her shop is clean and comfortable. She is also very nice and has a fun personality! At my initial visit I was very nervous. She gave me a "squishy" in the shape of a brain that I could squeeze. I had my touch up last week (no squishy needed) and it looks so nice! If you are considering any permanent make up, please go see Ramona at A Beautiful Face Permanently. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Ramona! read more

Ramona is such a perfectionist. And only would I have someone with her conscientiousness put permanent marks on my face! She is so compassionate and considerate with her work. I highly recommend her service. She truly did everything to make sure I was happy with my procedure. I would not have gone anywhere else. This is a big commitment and I couldn't be happier. read more

I was always hesitant to have permanent brows but after my experience with Ramona I'm so glad I did. She was very meticulous about color matching what color would go best with my complexion and what brow shape would be best for my face shape. She is so professional and her shop is clean and sterile. Thank you Ramona. read more

I finally got to come back for a touch up after a long break due to the pandemic. Ramona worked her artistry again. I am so happy. Thank you Ramona! read more

There's not enough words to describe Ramona's work. Beyond words amazing, I definitely would recommend her to friend and family to come here to get their eyebrows and eyeliner done. read more

Ramona matched my eyebrows to my natural hair color and really brought out the undertones to make it look so natural. I forget that they are tattooed and no one can tell the difference. I also have sensitive skin, tender nerves around the brows but, she has been able to work on me quickly and seemingly effortlessly while helping to reduce and manage the discomfort like no one else! These are my first tattoo and she keeps them looking fresh and vibrant with periodic touch-ups. I could not ask for a better technician and I would not want to work with anyone else. read more

I found Ramona through my mom, who did lots of research to find the right artist. She has loved her permanent make-up over the years, so of course I decided to go with Ramona as well. First impression, she was very friendly, her location very clean and well-kept, and she paid a lot of detailed attention to cleanliness and hygiene practices. She offers a free consult, and she has a great eye for making the best recommendations. When I look for someone to provide me with services, I want suggestions and an artistic eye, not just someone to give me what I think I want even if it may not be the best decision. She and I determined the best look for me, so I moved forward. The most appreciated part of this whole experience was that stamina stands by her work. She will allow you to come back for the additional visit(s) as part of the original cost until everything is just right (which is what I needed). She will not try to keep working on you when you are overly swollen, so as not to compromise the final look, and is more than willing to give you more of her time so that no mistakes are made. I would recommend her to anyone, and I did, my cousin loved my look so much she got her eyeliner done too! The final point I want to make was how reasonably priced she is. It is well worth the money to be able to wake up and run out of the house and look like my eyeliner is done perfectly! read more

WOW!! All I could say after my treatment was WOW!! I have my face back!! Ramona is truly an artist! She takes her time to make sure the design and color fits your face and complexion. After my initial consultation when she drew my eyebrows on as a demo I went home wishing it would last for days but of course it didn't. Then I prayed that the permanent procedure would look exactly like the demo and to my delight it did! I am excited every morning I wake up and see my eyebrows perfectly shaped on my face and I save so much time not having to stress over drawing my eyebrows on each day. This was definitely one of the best investments I've ever done for myself! Thank you Ramona!! I will be back for touch ups!! read more

I have wanted my eyebrows permanently tattooed for as long as I can remember, but I was afraid. I decided to find out more about the process when drawing them on was becoming difficult. I was directed to Ramona by my nutritionist at Kaiser. Ramona is amazing. With her expert knowledge of makeup application, coloring, facial structure, and a steady hand Ramona does a beautiful job. She made me feel like her only client...I never felt rushed...she answered all my questions and put me at ease. I ended up having permanent eyeliner applied also. I am 100% satisfied with the results. read more

I had my brows tatted over 12 years ago. I really need a touch up bad and wanted to reshape them. Ramona worked so well with me. She made me feel comfortable, which is a big plus for me. She was able to reshape my brows without being able to see the previous tatted brows. I almost cried because I was so happy with the outcome. She's very clean. Please give her a try, she knows what she's doing. I'm already referring my mom & sisters to her. Please trust me, she's great!! read more

Ramona does an absolutely beautiful job! She takes the time to do a great color match and to make sure your brows will be perfect. She really gave the numbing medication time to work so I barely felt a thing. She uses two colors for the most natural look. And she draws the most delicate realistic hairlines you could ever want. Highly recommend! read more

I originally went to Ramona to have her cover a scar on my eyebrow that I've had since I was an infant. She did such and amazing job, I can't believe how beautiful my brows look! Not only is the scar completely invisible, but the shape of my brows is perfect for my face and the color is beautiful. Every morning when I put on my makeup (and don't have to reach for the eyebrow pencil), I admire Ramona's work. I'm so pleased I plan on going back to have her do my eyeliner as well. read more

I am really glad I went to Ramona for my permanent makeup. My mother actually went to her first & referred me. She did my mother's eyebrows, Eyeliner, and lips. Sounds intense but it actually looks quite natural. I went to her for my eyebrows. I have always had very thin & sparse eyebrows & I've been drawing them on since I was 13. I also had my eyebrows tattooed approximately 4 years ago by a lady in thousand oaks who did a great job but lives too far & charged too much. Ramona's price was much more reasonable & she's local. My skin is pretty resistant to tattoos & color tattoos are a lot more likely to fade & harder for the skin to accept. I am VERY picky and I went to Ramona 4 times with nit-picky things & she was always very helpful & understanding. I felt like building my eyebrows was a joint process-she was very open to & understanding with my requests & suggestions. Loved it. Now my eyebrow are great & they're my creation. Btw- Ramona us very capable of designing eyebrows if your clueless. I'm just a control freak :). read more

As a former title holder; Ms. Alaska 1997 and professional make-up artist. I am a perfectionist to say the least. It takes a gifted skill to take a blank canvas and turn it into beautiful! !! Since I believe that your eyebrows not only frame your eyes, they frame your whole face. I had ONE shot to get this right. That fear caused me years of doubt and procrastination in even pursuing a PERMANENT eyebrow tech! Finally, I got so tired of the "what if's". I faced my fears and followed my heart. And I am here to tell you that after calling around and talking to techs on the phone and asking questions. ... my heart lead me to Romona's. She is absolutely amazing! !! Romona is not only what I hoped, she's above and beyond all that I needed in a tech!!! I dont even know how I can fit all the words here!.. She is absolutely everything all rolled into one. She is a "gifted master" in her business! I definitely will look for ways to spread the word, calm others fears, and celebrate her amazing gifts! !! Thank you Ms. Romona!!! My eyebrows are PERFECT! read more
