I have wrestled with the idea of microblading for over 2 years. As a professional, I like to look fresh faced and not overdone. Most days at 5am, trying to get eyebrows to look symmetrical was such a chore, and I was tired of spending so much time and money on a million different eyebrow/makeup products. Despite my frustration, I was absolutely terrified to do microblading for the following reasons: 1) fear of "tattoo green" looking eyebrows 2) afraid it would affect my eyebrow hair growth 3) it was permanent forever 4) the artist would pick the wrong shape. I researched over 150 microblading artists, even in different states, because it was important to me to pick the right artist for my needs. Then I found Binx! Charlene is a p e r f e c t i o n i s t! She made sure my eyebrows look so natural! Just what I was hoping for. She educated me on everything. Microblading is semi-permanent and typically lasts about two years. Touch ups are recommended every few months as needed. It also does not affect hair growth. My new eyebrows only require minimal grooming. There was absolutely no pain, and the color was perfect! It was so subtle, even my closest friends didn't notice it was microblading! If you are on the fence, Charlene is your girl! read more

Overall amazing experience! Never been one to get a tattoo or do any sort of permanent makeup so going in was unsure what to expect. Char is super flexible with scheduling, sends over detailed and important information prior, spends ample time during the consultation to achieve the exact look, and made the entire process stress free. What surprised me is the pain level or I guess lack of pain during the appointment and such ease of care afterwards. She's super soft handed and detail oriented. Wish I did this years ago. read more

This is a super late review. I got my eyebrows micro bladed by Charlene over 2 years ago and to this day I still love them. They are barely faded and all I do is clean up the hair around and my brows are perfect. I don't use any makeup on my brows.They are so natural no one knows I got them micro bladed. Charlene took a lot of time to make sure I was happy with my brows and you can tell she is passionate about what she is doing. I spent a lot of time researching for a micro blade artist and ended up choosing Charlene since I loved how natural the brows look in her portfolio. read more

After thinking about getting my eyebrows done for a few years, I finally decided to commit and book an appointment with Binx Inks. Her photos and reviews on Yelp led me to book the appointment, and now I can attest to her talent! Charlene created the perfect brows for my face; I could not be more excited about the results! I had over plucked, thin, sparse brows with little shape, so I opted for nano brows with shading. Charlene walked me through the process, discussed shapes I liked, then started with a sketch on my eyebrow so I could see the shape before it became permanent, which was great. The end result was absolute perfection!!Charlene is friendly, professional, detail oriented, and insanely talented! I highly recommend Binx Inks for your permanent makeup service. read more

Char is a magician! I am very much a tomboy so girl maintenance is not my strong suit. She answered all my questions before booking the appointment, she was very professional during the appointment, her studio is very clean, and the procedure was easy. I've never had a tattoo and was shocked at how painless it was. I'm so happy with the results and would recommend her to everyone. It truly was the best experience! read more

Charlene is amazing! She starts off my mapping out your brows so you can see what they'll look like first before starting to microblade. She listens to your concerns and answers all your questions prior. Not to mention, she's very clean and sanitizes everything before use which is very important especially due to the pandemic. The microblading/shading did not hurt at all and she was very gentle and careful. I was sooo impressed with my brows and I am in love with them!! She explains that the brows need time to HEAL and scabbing occurs during that process, but once they're healed, they are beautiful! And even more so after the touch up!! They look so perfect and natural! It's nice to wake up and not have to do your brows anymore. I 10/10 would recommend Charlene and you will not be disappointed! :) Thank you Charlene!!! Every time i see my before and after photos, & I still get so shocked! I love them. read more

I've always wanted fuller eyebrows with still a natural look and Charlene did such a great job in making that happen! I enjoyed how she was so thorough with her work and literally talked me through all the steps during my session. I loved it so much that I even booked lip blush with her! If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and has great attention to detail, then she's your girl! I Definitely recommend! read more

Binx Inks - LOVED Charlene's work! I literally can leave the house with just mascara on - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Diego, California

Charlene is the best for brows in the SD area! I've been wanting to get my brows microbladed for the longest time and I don't regret coming to Char to get them done. She guides you through each step and makes sure you're completely okay with the shape before she starts going in with the permanent ink. Loved that she asked for any inspo pics coming in, since I didn't know how to explain to her exactly what I was looking for. She also takes into consideration your natural brow shape in order to get to a natural end result. I didn't notice any flaking with my first initial session, and Char explained to me that that was normal since her method of microblading/microshading is less invasive than other artists, which I really like. Excited to see her again next year for my yearly touch up! read more

I've always been interested in getting my brows microbladed but couldn't find "the right" brow specialist. I came across Charlene's instagram and noticed that she also did natural looks, which I was looking for. I noticed that she was following all covid guidelines and went above & beyond with sanitizing everything. Also, she made sure several times that I truly liked the shape of the brows before microblading. I thought it was going to hurt/sting but it was oddly relaxing and I fell asleep several times during our session. I love my new brows and they healed so well!! I'm going back for touch-up in a week & super excited to see how my brows will upgrade even more! Now, I don't have to worry about filling my brows in before going to work or worry about my brows coming off when I'm playing golf out in the sun, yay! read more

Binx Inks - Healed brows, happy client :) - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Diego, California

I recently got my brows done by Char and she did such an amazing job. She explained the whole process and took her time in mapping out my brows. She was able to cover up the redness of previous work that was done by someone else and I am really happy with how they turned out. The color is perfect and I love the natural look. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know! read more

So, I'm writing a review even though I didn't actually end up getting a service from Charlene (yet!). I was looking into a color refresh for my brows, and the timing for that turned out not to be quite right, but she did a great job of explaining the process and what's going on with my brows to me. I really appreciated Charlene's assessment/expertise/honesty. I'll definitely be returning to her when/if I'm ready for a touch up. read more

Charlene is an excellent makeup artist! I got my eyebrows done with her. And let me just say I am so impressed and happy with the way things turned out! To start things off, my eyebrows were thin, crooked, and light. I don't wear makeup and I told Charlene to make my eyebrows natural looking. She understood what I was telling her and she started her measurements. The process was painless. Literally felt like someone was scratching an itch on your brows. She talked to me through the entire process till the end. And let me just say she made me feel so pretty! My eye brows are beautiful!!! Love her and 10/10 definitely recommended ! read more

I have spent years going back and forth with the idea of micro blading. I was so worried that they would end up looking too harsh and "drawn on". However, I was also tired of always having to fill my eyebrows in every morning before work so I said f- it and took a chance. I am SO happy I did. I really wanted something natural to fill in the gaps but not blatantly obvious like a lot of micro blading I see these days. Char did exactly what I asked and I absolutely LOVE my eyebrows! She truly is a perfectionist and will listen and do exactly what you ask for. I highly recommend going to see Char! I wish I had a before picture to show but I have attached directly after my treatment. Thanks so much Char! You're the best! read more

My only regret is not getting them done sooner! read more

I am beyond happy that I chose Charlene to work on my brows! She is so personable and sweet, that when we first met I felt like I was talking to an old friend. I'm a little bummed that I won't have to go back to her for a couple of years (until I want my brows re-done). I was nervous about getting my brows done, and I am so glad I trusted Charlene with my face. As for her work? Flawless. She really spends time speaking with you and making sure she knows what you want. Most of our first appointment was spent mapping my brows (which she does by hand), and making sure the shape really fit my face and bone structure. I would suggest looking at brow types that you like, and showing her photos of what you would prefer. She really is receptive to the style of brow you want on your face, and works to make sure you're happy with the end result. The second appointment was also amazing. My brows healed really well, but there were spots that needed touch-up. I told her my concerns, and left the second appointment with brows that I am absolutely in love with! I love that I wake up with brows that look natural and put-together everyday! My makeup routine literally takes no time now. I just dab on some concealer, put on mascara, and I'm good to go. Thank you so much for my wonderful brows--I love them! read more

10/10 I am so happy with the outcome . She did her thing. Go to this establishment. Great pricing , worth every penny !!! read more

Detailed oriented, great listener, and a good eye for this! She has A LOT of practice! I have wanted to microblade my brows for a few years, but always hesitated over fear of bad work - it is after all, a tattoo on your face! As soon as I saw Charlene's work, it was clear and could be entrusted. I'm grateful I waited for someone I was confident would do it right. She was very patient and understanding about how I wanted my brows to look and advised accordingly. I will definitely be going back to her for my yearly touch up! read more

Binx Inks - Brow Microblade - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Diego, California

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Growing up I was picked at for my eyebrows. It definitely WAS my biggest insecurity. Growing up the one thing that I got picked on was my eyebrows. I would never step out my house with out my make up. (Just for you to get on idea not even my BFF has seen me without makeup) This is something I been wanting to do for years, but was definitely very scared to get even worst eyebrows. Knowing Char definitely help. But because I know her it definitely was more pressure to get perfect eyebrows. It's definitely the best decision I have done. I love the outcome!!! Pain level 0! At one point I had to ask her if she had already started. read more

Binx Inks - Microblading - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Diego, California

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Charlene. To start things off, I am someone who is picky and particular about my face (as I am sure anyone would be). Charlene is incredibly professional and really makes sure that you are 100% happy before moving forward. She spends the time to really assess your current eyebrows and provide options of what she feels would be best and allows you to decide what direction you want to take. I have oily skin and Charlene was patient with me in determining what was best based off my skin type. I honestly am in LOVE with my eyebrows. Her studio is so cute and she uses top of the line products. The process was painless (literally) and I am so grateful I found her. If there is anyone thinking about getting their eyebrows done, I would highly recommend her! read more

Char did an amazing job with my brows! I've been wanting to get my brows done for years now but it took me a while to find an artist that I could fully trust. I luckily came across Char's page and was truly impressed with her work. I didn't have any second thoughts about booking my first appointment with her. She was also very patient with all my concerns about the healing process as she thoroughly explained every step/details of the entire process with me. I've been getting a lot of great compliments about my brows. A few of my friends and co-workers are finally considering getting their brows done as well! read more

There are tons of brow artists out there, but if you're looking for someone who is truly an artist, and a perfectionist in this profession, Charlene is the person to go to. Her studio is beautiful and I felt very comfortable while I was there. She mapped out my eyebrows and made sure they were even and perfect to my liking. She was gentle during the entire process and everything was painless. I've been to several places for brows and from my experience she is the best in SD. read more

I've gone here twice to to get saline tattoo removal for my eyebrows, Char is so sweet and has the best customer service ever!! She makes me feel welcomed and her skills are impeccable. I highly recommend Binxinks read more

I love my eyebrows, I highly recommend going here if you are looking for high quality work!

I highly, highly recommend Binx Inks. Charlene is an incredibly intelligent, professional, yet personable businesswoman. Not to mention, she is also genuinely talented. I have gotten my brows Microbladed and touched up by Charlene and I absolutely love them (my picture here is on her Yelp page- I have on a white and blue striped mask). The booking process was super easy and all of the before and aftercare is clearly listed on her website. Prior to having my eyebrows Microbladed, I'd never had my brows waxed, tinted, threaded, etc. So, I was really nervous. From the start, Charlene was super patient with me, listened to what I wanted, and even re-mapped everything when I told her I wasn't 100% happy with the outline. Also, when I got my touch-up and was ready to pay, she stopped me. Charlene let me know that because I booked during a certain time, I did not need to pay for my touch-up. I had no idea. That alone shows not only her professionalism but also her integrity and character. I promise you, you are in the best hands with Charlene. As you can see, I'm completely wowed by my whole experience. If you're unsure if you should make an appointment, make one. Her work is flawless. Thank you, Charlene, and good luck with everything- I know that your business will do nothing but grow! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!! read more

all i can say is WOW. seriously dont go anywhere else!!! i had my brows microbladed about 4-5 years ago and it was a pretty bad experience. they looked okay but just okay. not to mention it was one of the most painful experiences of my life... and i am covered in tattoos lol. Char came in on her day off just to do my brows because i was getting my botox touched up soon and she didnt have an appointment before. like hello that speaks for itself. she spent so much time and care mapping out the right shape for me. the amount of precision she put into it was so amazing. she doesnt do a one technique or one look fits all.... not to mention i didnt even feel it i could have fallen asleep! as someone who went elsewhere before there is no one else you should even consider then Char. 100/10 would recommend. i have the brows i always envision in my mind. read more

I have had my eyebrows done two times prior to Char. She did an amazing job, especially when I had scarring from the first set from someone in LA. She was incredibly meticulous when mapping my brows. During the actual tattooing, I was able to nap! It was the most painless session I have ever experienced. And the end product is gorgeous! The color and shape healed beautifully and I'm so glad I went to her! She was even able to blend/hide the scars. Book her now!!! read more

She is a perfectionist and listens extremely well to what you want. My brows are exactly what I asked for. Amazing!

I am BEYOND words for how happy I am with my micro-bladed eyebrows. I am a very light blonde and fill in my eyebrows everyday so Charlene was very carful with color mixing and going towards my natural shape. I was not thrilled with the first mapping because it was a little thicker than my natural brow and I wanted to extend the end a little bit, she said no problem, and spent more time correcting it until literal perfection. Such a sweet, talented girl. I cant wait to come back in 6 weeks! Definitely worth every penny, it has honestly changed my life, NO MORE FILLING IN MY EYEBROWS!!! what a freeing feeling this is, this goes out to my fellow blondes! read more

Char is amazing! She is very detail-oriented and strives for perfection with her work, which is especially great when you need someone to trust permanently drawing on your face :) She is very kind and attentive to your thoughts and how you want your eyebrows to look.
