I just found this in my drafts. This review is from when I got my eyebrows microbladed in July of…read more2019. THIS WOMAN IS A FKING LEGEND. Okay so I've been looking into microblading for a few months because I have little soul patches for eyebrows (hi moms, please take your daughters to trained professionals to shape their eyebrows and make sure they never have tweezers unattended in case they overpluck their eyebrows and their hair never grows back like me) and as soon as I saw Alina's Yelp I was like "this is her". I was sorely mistaken. She is THE ONE. She's seriously so amazing and I really will be a customer life. Couple things: 1) don't think because she charges less than someone else that she isn't as good as someone else charging $600+. She USED to charge $600 and decided that a) its better for her clients and better for her business if she stays affordableI don't (win-win for both of us) b) she can people who may not think they have the opportunity to be able to afford such a luxury and c) her supplies (which are very expensive) only last a year anyways so why not get the most use out of them possible? 2) she drew out this shape on me that had no harsh points or high arches and I was like... "uhh, I dunno" and she was like "I promise, it's not the right thing for your face and it's an old beauty trend that is outdated. Trust me" (and I'm thinking like have you seen this RBF? I need sharp ass brows to let a hater know I stay the coldest) so I just went with it and I was feeling like I was going to walk out of there unhappy and I will be honest and say that it took a full 48 hours for these brows to really win me over but I'm at like 72-96 hours in now and I am OBSESSED. 3) listen to Alina always. She honest to God is the expert. You might have a personal preference but remember how you feel looking at your moms 80s yearbook photos and remember how you feel looking at the lil old lady's that wear heavy blush to church. Makeup adapts and evolves; that's the fun thing about it is that it's always changing as the world is progressing. Alina has seen trends come and go but overall she knows what looks best for the shape of your face and that is timeless and ageless and won't stick out like a sore thumb in old photos so listen to her like she's your grandmother. She also did my lash extensions which (you guessed it!) I'm super in love with. Do yourself a favor. If you're reading this and you've been contemplating if this is your girl or if you wanna get this done, the answer is yes and yes so book her now. Also, for what it's worth, I've heard of a lot of people saying they know people who got this done and the healing process was kinda gross and I'm attaching a photo from day 3. The picture collage is from Friday before and after. And the other picture is Monday, just over 72 hours into having it done and it looks great. As a disclaimer, and this may not be okay for everyone but I had zero bleeding during the session and close to zero scabbing over the weekend, I did wear makeup today so I took a baby wipe and gently buffed off the top layer of gunk since it appeared to be more of what looked like makeup I may have missed from when I got ready and cleaned them off with a watered down (okay, it was saliva) q-tip and it just sort of seemed to exfoliate this layer off the top that ended up revealing even better brows than I had already loved before. The pigment won't settle fully until about a month in but I could care less. Everyday I just fall more in love with these eyebrows. They are soooooo natural and real looking!!!! Thank you Alina!!!!!!!

Three months later and every morning I wake up with beautiful eyebrows that I don't have to touch…read more I have not one regret in getting my eyebrows done by Mika. I don't have to draw them on. I get up in the morning take a shower throw some lotion on my face put on my lipgloss and I am out the door no more standing in front of the mirror trying to get them the same/even, they're already done and perfect. One thing I was worried about was you know how you look at old ladies that I've had it done and it's like a faded color, like ash grey. She matches the color perfectly and when you come back at six weeks, she knows if she needs to make it darker or stay the same. This lady is on her craft. Best money spent

It was my first visit ever & I found this place here on Yelp. I did a bridal hair & makeup trial…read morewith Petty N. I showed her some inspiration pics & she did a great interpretation of it to suit my features! She gave me a beautiful half up half down curly hairstyle with a small bun in a flower shape! She even fixed my eyebrows a bit with some minor shaping. This is the best makeover I've ever had! I will be booking her to get a lash lift & will go with Lashme Uyen Beauty Studio for my wedding day beauty needs. Both Petty & Uyen are very kind & professional, they made me feel comfortable & pretty!

So happy I found Vi!! I moved out of state about a month ago and flew into San Diego for work, and…read moreI desperately needed some self care. I booked pretty last minute for an eyelash extension removal, brow lamination, lash lift, and tint, and Vi did such an amazing job! I normally have a go-to lady in Monrovia who I love, but it was way too far of a drive while I was in San Diego. I decided to try a lash lift instead of going back to extensions since I wanted something that would last longer and be a little more low maintenance, and I'm so glad I came here. Vi was sweet, professional, and did a beautiful job on everything. I'm super happy with how my brows and lashes turned out, and the pricing was very reasonable, especially for having four different services done. Definitely recommend Vi and will absolutely come back whenever I'm in San Diego!

After searching for an artist who I could trust and feel comfortable putting something permanent on…read moremy face, I came across Celine's Beauty Studio through social media. Reading into Celine's background and seeing the variety of clients she caters to, I felt that this place was a good choice. Sending a direct message to have Celine answer my questions and concerns given my face type and products I used, she made me feel comfortable in my decision so I booked the appointment. Good to let her know your skin type, products you use and such so she can guide you on what is the best direction for microblading for your skin before your appointment. I became very nervous the day before and she was able to talk on the phone to voice any concerns I had. I was just nervous and needed to verbally hear comforting words. Haha. The appointment was great. Beautiful office! She took her time to walk through what was going to happen so there weren't surprises and she got an idea of what I was looking forward to for the results. So, yes, all in all, I was very comfortable and you can trust her expertise/experience. I was there for microblading but she recommended shading if I wanted it. I asked what that would do for me since I wanted more natural but trusted her judgement and went for a little shading along with the blade strokes. Glad I did! Worth it. The touch up appointment went the same. I highly recommend Celine's Beauty Studio and anyone working with her.

I found Anna after a botched eyebrow tattoo from another San Diego brow artist. My eyebrows were…read moreuneven, different shapes and way thinner than I wanted. They were completely awful, I had to cut bangs to hide them. Anna was very patient working with me as I did have anxiety about having them tattooed again.

Furthermore she is a very sweet and kind person. Thank you so much Anna!!!
