It took me a long time to work up my courage and do microblading. I went to Alina because of the great job that she did for a colleague. The experience was amazing. Alina was gentle and explained everything. The cost was less than what I expected, as well. VERY HAPPY with the outcome. read more

Alina 3d Microblading - Before and after.... It started very dark but within a week was down to a natural brown. - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Diego, California

A friend recommended Alina to me so I decided to make an appointment to get my eyebrows done. The cost for microblading and ombre was $550. Ombre alone was $500, and microblading was an additional $50. Upon arrival for my appointment, Alina warmly greeted me and applied numbing cream on my brows and explained the process. She then proceeded to design my brows and work her magic. I previously had my brows done by Thi Thuy Hong "Ruby" Luu who did a really crappy job and ghosted me after I paid her and she did not do a touch up as promised. Don't waste your time or money on Ruby, go to Alina instead! They are both located inside Phoenix Salon Suites (next to Marshall's in Mira Mesa). When you walk in, go towards your left for Alina in Suite 108. She is available by appointment only and was very quick to respond. Anyway, back to Alina...She was very sweet and friendly. We chatted while she worked on my brows, and honestly it felt like we've been friends. After the procedure she thoroughly explained the after care and provided me the cream, and followed up with a text with the written instructions. I had a very positive experience! Alina is very skilled at what she does and is a sweetheart! I highly recommend Alina to anyone who's looking to get their brows done. She did a great job fixing Ruby's previous work so I'm a very happy and satisfied customer! The brows take about 2 weeks to fully heal and lighten in color. It's super dark for now! I really like how the microblading gave a resemblance of real hair strokes. It's definitely worth the extra $50! Does the procedure hurt? YES! Even with the numbing cream, you can still feel a certain degree of pain. The level of pain really depends on your tolerance. For me, Alina had to reapply the numbing cream towards the end. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the results! read more

Alina has done both my and my 70 year old mom's eyebrow microblading and I highly recommend!! She truly has an eye for perfection when it comes to shaping the brows and makes them still look natural. My mom had tattooed eyebrows before and she was able to correct the color and previous work. She uses a great numbing gel before so you hardly feel the procedure. She is sweet, attentive, and very responsive. read more

I LOVE Alina. I thought my eyebrows were decent prior to going to her but I realized I was wrong. LOL. My old brows made my face look droopy. She did an AMAZING job fixing them and I'm looking forward to future visits with her over the years. I have never been happier with how my eyebrows look in my life. They really do give you confidence and change the look of your face when a professional does them. I recommended her to all of my friends and family! I even made an appointment for my Mom. read more

Alina 3d Microblading - Perfection! - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Diego, California

Alina is so careful and nice! The eyebrow micro blading is pain free and the recovery is easy. I highly recommend Alina.

Alina was great at reshaping my eyebrows which were crooked with prior ombre work. She recommended the microblading, which i was afraid of, because then one I had 10 years ago caused bleeding and a lot of pain! Alina's technique is gentle, and there was NO pain or bleeding. The pic is from my touchup, and it turned out perfect! I have already recommended her to several friends! Thank you, Alina! You are the best!! read more

Alina did microblading treatment for my eyebrows the other day. She was very accommodating as I needed an early appointment and she was very responsive as well. She gave me 25% discount for her 10 year business anniversary which I appreciate a lot. She is super friendly and professional. I could see that she loves her job and is an expert in it as well. She explains the entire process and each step of the way to make you feel at ease. So far I am super happy with the results. I'm still healing from the treatment as it takes about a week or so, but after healing I'll provide pictures here. She has a great Instagram page with all her previous clients results. She offers a complementary touch up session to perfect the results as well. I'm very happy with my decision to do microblading with Alina and highly recommend her. read more

Alina 3d Microblading - Microblading (Eyebrows) and Eyelash extensions. Before and After photos. - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Diego, California

I trusted Alina based on the good reviews to do my eyebrows. I told her exactly what I want and showed her many pictures and I also told her what I don't want. I explained to her that I want a soft Microshading, Medium brown with arch. My eyebrows were pitch black after she finished my eyebrows, I was really worried but she said " I promise you I used Medium brown" and the color will change. It has been 2 months now and my eyebrows look awful. It's bluish dark grey, uneven ( it was from the beginning which I mentioned it to her), one side is longer then the other side and the arch is cut down not as round as the other side. I paid $650 with tips to do not have to do my eyebrows every single morning, but now it looks so awful that I had to buy powder to cover her mistakes , and she told me " I am human and I do mistakes". I went to see her after 2 months to show it to her and she said she really likes the results. She pushed the mirror in my face at least 10 times and she said "look it's brown , don't listen to anybody else". She talked to me like I am blind and cannot differentiate black from brown. I asked her 3 times" is this medium brown to you?. She answered "Yes" then I told her, " I am sorry Alina I don't want to hurt your feeling but you need to check out your eyes with a doctor" . My hair is blond and I look so ugly with this uneven, dark eyebrows. It's Not me who I see in the mirror. Everybody around me told me how I ruined my face. Alina said I can send my lawyer to her which I promise I will!!! She ruined my face for years!!! Yes she offered she can add some orange to fix the color, but would you trust somebody who did exactly what I told her I don't want??? Don't be fooled, all the pictures on her instagram are made with filters/ photoshop. Mine actually looks pretty good on her page, but you have to see it in real life!!! She also spent less then 2 hours with me ( consultation and microshading). All my friends who have perfect eyebrows said their eyebrow technician spent 3-4 hours measuring every mm in their face, showed them the color they will use. Alina did not show me or match the color to my face at all nor measured!!! Shame on you Alina!!! You couldn 't get either the color nor the shape right that I asked for. The first picture I sent it to her to show her different color browns from dark to medium and my eyebrows look nothing like them. Answer for you: "be fair when posting a picture"- are you saying that I photoshopped mine??? Why would I do that? You actually made this "crooked brows" yes you did, why do you think I am so angry??? You are the one who defend yourself!!! I don't like to write bad reviews unless I am really pissed!!! You messed up my face that I have to cover up every single day!!! And you call yourself and artist??? So now you are saying that my eyebrow is awful and discolored??? Yes mam you did that, that's what you did for me!!! I am 100% honest !!!! What do you think is my intent here, honestly??? I have enough money that I don't need yours for sure!!! I told you I wanted my money back because I paid 550$ for something that I didn't ask for and now will have to live with that for at least 3 years until it fades!!! "I gave you beautiful set of brows " - I look like a scary person with my blond hair and black eyebrows, everybody around me ask me why did I do such thing with myself???? Of course you are not going to admit face to face that my eyebrow looks bad, why would you? However you did here in the comment "why does it look so awful and discolored"-so thank you for admitting!!! Take responsibility for your mistakes!!! The day when you did my eyebrows you told me you were sick, just came home from Asia and you were feeling jet -lagged and you didn't sleep. I can imagine that you were tired and that's why you made a mistake, but please learn to own your mistakes just as much as your success!!! You offered me a correction which I refused because you were keep lying to me that you used medium brown which you didn't. Anybody can tell from far that my eyebrows are black!!! I don't trust you to touch my face again!!! read more

Alina 3d Microblading - My beautiful brows! - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Diego, California

Think hard before going here. Update My total was $220 + tip ($250) since I was shocked on the price. Similar experience to Demi below. I didn't like how there was a problem and she couldn't fix it nor cared to. I had an issue with my lashes they were poking me as well. The process towards the end of the service was a bit painful, as though maybe glue got into my eye. Due to the irritation I reached out and asked her how to take them off. (2 days after I had my lashes done) Went to the doctor a got medicated eye drops. Alina texted back and said to leave eye makeup remover on my eyelashes overnight and they will magically wash off the next morning.. that didn't work. She never offered to remove them for me. I told her that method wasn't working and she didn't care. 2 days before my trip I'm struggling to remove these individually pulling my own lashes off. I finally gave up. Thankfully my wonderful waxer, who also does lashes, noticed my irritation and removed them for me with no pain or additional cost (tipped her so much!) Also - I got mircoblading done from Alina about 2 months ago, she had texted me the price for a touch up was $50. This time when I went in she said she add free shading yet the price was $150 for the touch up in addition to the lashes that lasted me 2 days. I didn't complain about the price since I'm sure she must need it, however I'm complaining that the after care customer service was a disrespectful and at the very least could have offered to remove my lashes. My 2nd round of microblading didn't turn out as nice. read more

I came to Alina's for a wispy hybrid full set after being recommended by a couple my coworkers that have gotten their lashes done by her. Their lashes always looked so good, so I went ahead and scheduled an appt with her, she did have a short wait for availability to fit me into her schedule. I had my appt scheduled for 12pm, I did show up a couple minutes behind for my appt, however she was still in with the previous client before me. No big deal, I understand appts can run a little behind. Went in for my appt, the appt went great. When we got done I looked at the time it hadn't been an hour since I was in there. Again no big deal. I left went about my day, it wasn't until the next night I would wake up in the middle of the night with my lashes bothering me. I've gotten my lashes done plenty times before and I've never had this issue at all. I decided to wait it out, I figured I would adjust to them. 3 days go by and they're still bothering and poking my lash lid. I contact Alina on the 4th day and I let her know I've been having irritation and the lashes are poking my lash line. She responds back to me asking if I've combed them throughly and that's sometimes loose lashes can hurt the lash line of it's not brushed and twisted. I responded back letting her know that I have been brushing them daily, the lashes poking me aren't loose lashes it's lashes still attached to my lashes. She did not respond back. I'm truly upset, I had such high hopes and expectations especially paying for a wispy hybrid full set, I won't be coming here again. This is a picture of one of the lashes that I managed to take off, it was hurting so bad I could not take it. As you can see those were 2 lashes glued together on my ONE LASH! read more

Alina is a wonderful brow artist. She had some recommendations I had not thought of before. I have no visible eyebrows and decided to go with the combo brows. I love the end result. I had wanted to get my brows done for some time and I researched for a while before finding Alina on Yelp. She took the time to draw a shape that looked good on my face. She did an excellent job making sure I was comfortable and using the numbing cream. I look forward to healing and going back to see her for the final touch up. I highly recommend Alina if you are considering getting your brows done. read more

First of all let me just say that this was absolutely painless! I didn't feel a thing. All my friends keep asking if it hurt and I can honestly say that when Alina started I wouldn't have know if it wasn't for the noise from the blade. It was more like I was having a little pampering time. I am so thankful for Yelp and that I found Alina here. I just had it done yesterday so there was a little discomfort when I left after the procedure but nothing major. Today no pain but I do look like an angry bird. She said it would get very dark for the first 4/5 days so this is expected. Overall I am very satisfied and in two weeks I would try to remember to come by on here and do an update. That's the one thing I haven't really read from previous reviews. The picture is fresh from yesterday.. **** small update. 9 days out. Scabs are off and I'm loving my eyebrows. Can't wait for touch up. Attaching picture of what it looks like today at 9 days read more

She's quick and precise. You can tell she knows what she's doing. I had my eyebrows microbladed twice already. Once from la who claimed to be a korean celebrity make up artist. She completely did my eyebrows crooked and uneven. Second time was in Thailand. They fixed it a bit but it faded quickly. So glad I found Alina! She saved my eyebrows. I was afraid it would be too thick because of my previous work but she miraculously fixed it! Ughhh wish I found her sooner!' Her price compared to a lot of artists is amazing!
