Bernadette is such a gem!! I just love her!! Her location is incredibly convenient, she's very professional, her prices are really good considering she's the best on the coast And I trusted her work for a round 2!! I came and saw Bernadette a few years back when we originally shaped and tattooed on my brows after I had barely any!! For several years since, my brows remained fresh looking and natural, which I feel like is every female's biggest wish. None of us want to say we over tweezed or misshaped our brows, we've always wished we had a full, luscious and naturally shaped beautiful brow, but most of us have needed this service to achieve that. For the last several years, I never had to touch an eyebrow pencil, my entire makeup regimen had changed because my dark beautiful shaped brows brought out the best in my eyes... And that's truly a thanks to the talented and artistic Bernadette!! Thus, I went in for my touchup and we caught up like old friends, she gave me a radical price and my brows look so fresh that my self esteem is bursting!! I've said it before and I'll say it again... Bernadette. Is. The. BEST. Why wait!? Get to her books and do it. No woman has ever walked away, saying they regret working with her!! read more

As I got older, my skimpy eyebrows became almost non existent! Pencils just didn't cut it. I wondered about permanent brows but was worried I'd end up greatly regretting it. I did not want that drawn on look. Then I went for a consult with Bernadette. She showed me before and after photos, described the process, and explained how she would work with me on the color right for my skin tone and hair color. After the first session, I had a lot of questions. She was readily available and reassured me all along the way. I've had my second session now and I could not be more pleased! Bernadette is a pro. She is skilled, professional and made me very comfortable about doing this. I highly recommend Brow Ink and Bernadette! read more

Look no further! Bernadette is a master! She is both talented and professional. I constantly get compliments on my brows. What I love about Bernadette is she really listened to me and what I wanted. Priceless! read more

Bernadette is the best! She is always prompt if you have any questions for the after care.

After my lip tattoo artist left town five years ago, I wasn't able to find anyone in the area who did actual lip tattooing. Everyone had switched to lip blushing, but I was afraid it wouldn't hold color as long or outline my lips as well. Missing my lips terribly, I started to research this lip blushing and ask around. Someone would tell me "so and so" had blushed lips and I'd find that those "so and sos" had really awesome looking lips. I'd ask who the artist was and every single one would say, "Bernadette at Brow Ink, she's the best!" Fast forward, I took the plunge 3 years ago and am sooo glad I did! Bernadette comes with some serious experience in the makeup industry (Hello, Chanel!) and that experience gave me the absolutely perfect lip color for my complexion and style. She also drew a liner just outside my natural lip line and blended it into my lips so flawlessly my lips look naturally fuller (not filler-fake fuller!) It's also a plus that Bernadette is adorable and has the best, upbeat energy. Just stepping into her beautifully decorated salon and being greeted by her makes me feel like I've entered a lovely spa with a super fun friend! Note: Bernadette has a numbing cream that is super sonic; I don't feel a thing and if I ever start to, she stops and applies more cream. If you're on the fence about lip blushing, take the plunge, you won't regret it! And then when people ask who blushed your beautiful lips, you, too, will be able to say, "Bernadette at Brow Ink, she's the best!! read more

Bernadette to the rescue! I had my brows tattooed by someone else that I thought was good, but I was so wrong. The moment I left the other persons office, I hated my brows. Bernadette was recommended through my laser tattoo removal office and I couldn't be happier! She was so kind and explained the brow lifting process in depth before we even scheduled the appointment. I saw a major difference after the first brow lift treatment and so did my friends and family. They were considerably lighter. I just had my 2nd treatment and I'm already seeing a big difference. I'm scheduled to have my brows redone properly and professionally by Bernadette and I can't wait! Once this whole process is done I'll add pictures. Thank you so much Bernadette for saving my brows and offering a removal option that actually works. Stay tuned for step by step photos. read more

What a fantastic experience I just had! Bernadette is so awesome and talented and professional! I am thrilled with my upgraded brows!! ABSOLUTELY go and book her! read more

I had such a great experience! It was my first time for micro blading. Bernadette explained everything and put me completely at ease. She was very professional and easy to chat with. I would highly recommend Brow Ink to my friends. read more

I just had my brows Microbladded by Bernadette. I normally don't wear make up but I do henna my hair. As I've gotten older, I'm nearly 55, my brows have faded to all but nothing, as the sun bleached them out. I also had never plucked, threaded, or purposely shaped my brows in anyway. I wanted to be able to surf, paddle, ski, run, etc., just enjoy nature and it's moisture, without worrying about makeup, and enjoy aging without too much thought to the natural changes occurring. Anyway, Bernadette, counseled me on shape and design, matched the color of my hennaed hair, and worked onward as the Microblading artist that she is. I'm so impressed, I'm leaving this review. I can't wait until she does eyes and lips, as I'll be back for more permanent color. I'm also looking forward to the follow up session. Such professional service and work. Thank you, Bernadette!!! read more

Brow Ink Microblading & PMU Studio - I am raising a brow here, but don't they look natural and didn't Bernadette match to my hair color perfectly! So grateful. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I can't say enough about how awesome Bernadette is. She is really good at her job and you will be ecstatic about your brows. Beyond that she is a great listener. She really wants you to have the look you want and it's a judgment free zone. I have had consultations with other brow artists in the area and didn't feel comfortable with any of them. As soon as I met Bernadette I knew I was in good hands! Highly recommend her. (Service I had was microblading) read more

Wow!! Why didn't someone encourage me to do this before!? Bernadette was amazing! First of all, she responded to my email in about 10 minutes and answered my 200 questions right away. Her studio is super cute and she was so professional but casual, fun and easy to talk to. My brows look amazing!! I would recommend her 100% read more

I feel like I need to yelp a review of Yelp for gifting me the discovery of amazing, Bernadette, the eyebrow angel! In my search for a microblading studio I came across Brow Ink Microblading and PMU Studio. The term "Brow Mapping" caught my attention as I was reading about her services. Looking through the posted pictures it was clear to see that the precision of her work is intentional from start to finish...not to mention, beautiful. Before a single brushstroke is made, she goes through a meticulous "layout" and design process for each eyebrow. She takes several things into consideration, including facial structure, skin tone, and the client's personal desires. I knew I had come across the right place to make my microblading appointment. Bernadette is truly an artist. My eyebrows and I thank you, Bernadette! read more

Bernadette was awesome and talented! My brow were uneven and she made them even. She is so good at what she does. I love my brows now!!

Bernadette is professional and yet fun to be with as she works diligently to make your brows customized for your needs and desires. i am very pleased with the final outcome, albeit, i wasn't sure after the first session because i needed a few alterations. Yet, i discovered that is the reason there are 2 sessions; at first it is difficult to tell how they will heal and the ultimate color and shape. But, after the 2nd session, all issues were resolved and i am very happy with the outcome. You will enjoy her company as well!!! read more

I came to Bernadette because a friend highly recommended her and I needed correction of prior technicians' mistakes. She truly did some magic in micorblading my brows! I recently came back to her to have my lash line done. She did an amazing job once again but what makes Bernadette's stand out professionally is more than perfect artistry skills but also exceptional customer service. She is warm, personable, and caring. She kept me informed every step of the way during each procedure, made sure I was comfortable, followed up afterwards and patiently answered questions even though I had all the answers on the post-care sheets. I am probably not the bravest client when it comes to sharp tools and my face so having a trustworthy and patient professional like Bernadette is huge for me. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to embark on a journey of permanent makeup! Contact her for a consultation and you will quickly see for yourself why everybody raves about her and her studio! read more

I love my eyebrows! Great place to go. I will be getting eyeliner soon.

Bernadette is SUPER AMAZING! Not just at what she does, but she is the sweetest, most down to earth gal. She did an amazing correction on my brows and I am "so in love" with them! She's THE BEST! read more

I am a redhead and have suffered many, many catastrophic eyebrow disasters over the years. Bernadette slayed it on the first try at my first appointment today. I'm beaming my happiest smile with beautiful eyebrows which suit my face, are just the shape I wanted, and the colour match is incredible. She is a wonderful person, through & through. The whole experience was five star. Highly recommend. read more

Going to Bernadette was the best decision I've made in a long time. She is incredibly professional and talented. I struggled with very thin sparse brows for years- getting this microblading has shaved 15-20 minutes off my makeup routine... how much time could I have saved if I'd done this sooner?!?! read more

Bernadette is a brow wizard! Before she gave me eyebrows, I wouldn't leave my house without filling them in. I'm a makeup artist and very particular about my brows. During our consultation she made me feel at ease with her knowledge, explaining the process, and by mapping out my brows. She made sure I was involved with the process of how my brows were going to be shaped. I couldn't be more happier with the results! I'm always getting compliments on my brows. I've also saved so much money on not having to buy brow products and so much time by not having to fill them in! I would definitely refer Bernadette if you want microblading done! read more

Bernadette is amazing!!! Her work is unbelievable. She will talk to you like she has know you for years. Makes you feel so comfortable. I will recommend her to everyone. Can't thank her enough read more

Bernadette is sweet, funny, and incredible at what she does. I'd never had my eyebrows done before and she explained the process step by step and made me very comfortable. I only got henna and a wax, but I'm definitely going back for microblading! If you're looking for a pristine, clean studio and an amazing esthetician, look no further! read more

Bernadette worked wonders with my brows! She was professional, clean and kind. Her work studio is classy and she delivers outstanding results. I'm really happy I decided to have Bernadette do my brows read more

Bernadette is amazing!!! I cannot rave about this talented, kind and beautiful brow goddess enough! She was recommended to me and my roommate by a close girlfriend and we couldn't have been more thankful. Bernedatte was so kind and considerate throughout the entire process, without any pressure or making me feel rushed (like many other salons). I had very scarce and shapeless brows that I couldn't get to work on my own but she changed that entirely! I now have an amazing shape to my brows that truly redefined my entire face shape. I love the colors she used and how natural she made them look. I opted for the combo brow with micro blading and shading and couldn't be more thrilled! I have had so many compliments on my brows and actually brought my mom in from AZ to get hers done too! I also referred another girlfriend and her mom as well. Highly recommend Bernadette to anyone that has considered or is interested in micro blading/shading; she will always take the time to listen to her clients and never rushes or pressures anyone into something they do not want. Love love love her!! read more

Bernadette's brow ink is a work of art. She is very professional and explains every stage of the process. I was concerned about trying this because I'm older, but she is very conservative with her work and utilizes a 2-stage process that allows her clients to get use to the brows before final touch-up. The healing process is a breeze and no real down time as long as you follow the instructions. Bernadette's fun, down-to- earth personality is a bonus. She also will continue to clean up your brows following the procedure for a nominal fee! Don't hesitate to get started!!! I'm so glad I did! read more

I love, love, love my brows and eyeliner. Bernadette is a true artist, skilled, professional and a super nice person. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing experience with Bernadette. I really appreciate her skill, knowledge & kindness. I love my brows!

Absolutely loved this girl! i came in to a consultation with a million questions and she was super honest and helpful. i have a lot of hair on my eyebrows but they got so thin from waxing i wanted them a little fuller, so i was hesitant. after the procedure i was OBSESSED WITH THEM. they look amazing and her other work does too. she was also super helpful during the healing process. she lets you call or text literally at any time if you have questions and will get back to you in a timely manner answering all your questions and being so supportive and loving. could not recommend more! read more

My daughter went to Bernadette this past year for the microblading and microshading of her brows and I was so impressed with her work that I travelled from Scottsdale, AZ to San Luis Obispo to have my own eyebrows done. The results have been as great as expected!!! My Scottsdale stylist - no style slouch herself - loved my results and indicated that no one in Scottsdale could come close to her skills. It was such a great experience and I went back 6 weeks later for my touch-up; and Bernadette is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. read more
