I am absolutely obsessed with my new ombré brows! Catherine was a joy to work with. I honestly dozed off a few times during the session, literally no pain! Catherine was responsive and explained things really clearly. She mapped my brows with such precision, I felt really at ease. When she revealed the brows, I was shocked! It was way better than anything I could have imagined. She made them really natural, just like I wanted. I highly recommend Catherine. The studio space is super clean and feels upscale. read more

Brows by Catherine - The final product on the bottom is wayyyyy better than I could have imagined! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Tustin, California

Catherine is absolutely exceptional. I, like so many fellow reviewers/customers, looked far and wide, researched every type of eyebrow service out there, checked out 100's (maybe thousands) of before/after photos, read every review for the manyyyyyy permanent makeup artists in SoCal, etc. But the reason we (wisely) chose Catherine is as clear as the eyebrows on our faces! They're perfect. Her work really does speak for itself. She's also extremely patient and methodical in her craft. All I had to close my eyes and voila! I have a birthmark on one eyebrow that makes it uneven when compared to the other brow. They've always looked off and uneven. I rarely wear makeup (tinted chapstick at most) so I didn't want to shape them everyday either. Catherine was very professional and confident in showing me what my brows could look like then went ahead with the full service. After my session and healing time, I'm a whole new person. Or at least a whole new face. I've received countless compliments on my fabulous brows and really can't thank Catherine enough. Do not hesitate to get your brows done here. You'll only regret not making an appointment sooner! read more

I researched so much before choosing someone to do ombré brows and Catherine is truly the best. I went in with outgrown brows and no shape. The first session was amazing; Catherine was very attentive, quick with responses, and most importantly, very sweet. The prices were what I expected for brows. I have very sensitive skin and sometimes flare up, but nothing unusual happened. My recovery was great and fast! I've had two touch up sessions with her (tbh you need at least one touch up to make sure your brows look precise and clean! I'm so glad I found Catherine! Her studio is very concierge like, clean and cute. I always recommend her to my friends and to those who complement my brows ‍ read more

I waited close to 2 years researching and scoping various artists and finally I found Catherine and it's like everything clicked. I liked her work so much I committed both mine and my mom's brows to Catherine She was so patient with us during our appointments and explained the process before, during and after the appointment. She also understood different skin textures and color matched us so well. One less thing for me to do in the mornings and helps me look so much more put together. If anyone is unsure and needs a sign to commit, I'd say this is it! Do it! Thank you Catherine for helping this mama and my mama to look our best! read more

For my first review for 2023, I wanted to show appreciation to Catherine. I got them done in April 2022 and it's almost been a year and my brows still look great. I was tired of my uneven brows and always plucking a bit too much. With that in mind, I began my research for a new brows look. I narrowed it down between 3 people, but ultimately, Catherine's price, location, style beat out the rest. The location and parking is easy to find. She has a very calm atmosphere while she works on your brows. Honestly I fell asleep during my touchup. There is a bathroom on site. She made sure my brows were the shape I wanted before proceeding and made many check-ins with me with a mirror to make sure it was what I desired. I would recommend her for anyone looking to change their brows for a natural look. read more

Catherine is absolutely AMAZING! She is so meticulous and a true artist when it comes to brows. I would trust no one else with my brows. I received my first powder session from her over a year ago and am always impressed with the work she does. I have never had anything done to my brows before and Catherine provided a very detailed consultation with her recommendations. She creates the perfect natural brow look. Her spot/studio is super clean, beautifully decorated and has an all-around wonderful vibe that will make you feel comfortable. Catherine herself is super friendly and approachable and I can always count on her to do an amazing job. She is very communicative. After my sessions, I've reached out to her several times about questions I have and she is very responsive and always provides reassurance. I come up all the way from San Diego to Orange County to see Catherine and she is 100% worth it! read more

Catherine is so SWEET and very CLEAN!! Second time getting the shaping/mapping done with her. She is quick and proficient. I love how they come out, she knows how to be gentle and makes sure to make them look perfect!! read more

Catherine is so so so so amazing. I got my brows done back in 2015 with another artist and I was not in love with the shape even though we spent hours fine tuning to a point where my skin was turning red from drawing and redrawing (i also have very sensitive skin), and we just gone ahead with what I thought was "close enough". Don't settle ladies! This is permanent make up! This time around, I came in for a brow shaping first and without much guidance, Catherine was able to find a brow shape that's natural and enhancing. I was super excited to schedule my micro shading session after that. I am soo in love with my brows now. If you want natural timeless brows, Catherine is your girl!!!!!!!! read more

Hands down one of the best spots in OC for your brows if you're interested in more of a natural style. There are a lot of great brow artists in SoCal, but I was looking specifically for a brow artist's style that would work well for me if I didn't want to wear any makeup and for it to still look natural. I got them microbladed and shaded a bit a few years ago in NYC before wanting them done again here after moving. It took me a while to find someone with the right price point, style, and availability. I got them done last fall and have loved them so much! I get compliments from so many people and always show them Catherine's IG so they can get theirs done. I get that dark popping IG brows are popular, but they're just not for me so I super appreciate how she's nailed down a balanced and natural style. It's also supposed to hurt at all really, just pressure. I cut feel the cutting at some point when she maybe halfway through or something but didn't say anything. Oops, my bad, I thought that was normal lol. My skin just must absorb and break down the numbing cream quickly? Haha it's not supposed to hurt so let her know if you feel any pain. I also think it's because I have a pretty big pain tolerance from tattoos and stuff. I'm so excited to find time next month to bring my mom to her to get her brows done!! Obviously highly recommend her since I'm taking my mom, and we know how critical Asian moms can be really excited to see how my mom's brows will turn out!! Just look at Catherine's work on IG, and you'll see what I'm talking about. read more

Catherine is VERY TALENTED! I got my eyebrows done April 2022 and I received so many compliments. They are very natural and healed beautifully. I went for a touch up Nov 2023. Once again started to receive a lot of compliments on my eyebrows! Catherine is amazing. She makes sure to explain every step she's taking. Takes her time to map your eyebrows. Most importantly make sure you approve before she starts! 10/10! Love her work! read more

I found Catherine on Reddit and I'm so glad I did! I've been thinking about getting my brows done for years. I've always been a dark brunette but my brows were sparse and naturally pretty light. It has always been an insecurity of mine and I wouldn't dare leave the house without at least doing my brows. Now I feel confident leaving without makeup on and it's pretty life changing. Catherine is very informative about what to expect during the process and the appointments were always painless and relaxing. I recommend Catherine to anyone going for a natural timeless brow. You won't regret it! read more

Catherine is everything and more! I've been putting off nano bladed brows forever cus I'd always chicken out and get scared the outcome wouldn't be nice. But not only did Catherine absolutely give me the brows of my dreams...it is everything and more I could ask for! She was so gentle and communicative as soon as I was in her presence I knew I was in great hands and felt at ease. I napped during the actually tattooing that's how peaceful the environment is. My brows are natural yet lifted and shaped omg I look like I just got a brow lift. IM OBSESSED. I'm just mad I didn't do this sooner with Catherine. I cried seeing the perfection forreal. Thank you Catherine I'll be back always! read more

My eyebrows have always been an insecurity for me , especially since they have always been thin and in my experience hard to fill them in . I was then recommended by a friend to visit Catherine's page and check out her work . Once I saw the results she was giving her clients , I knew I wanted to give her a try especially being my first time doing anything permanent to my eyebrows. I was very nervous at first not knowing how I was going to walk out looking like . I liked that she took the time to explain every single step before doing anything and guiding me in the process (Ombré powder brows ) . She took her time with making sure we were both happy with everything. She focuses and makes sure the eyebrows shape and style suit your natural features. As soon as I saw how she mapped my eyebrows, I knew I was going to love my results . At that point I eased up and let Catherine work her magic . Even during the process she would check in making sure I was doing ok and comfortable. Once she showed me my results I was in LOVE with my eyebrows! I felt like a completely new women ! I could not stop looking at them while driving home lol . Everything was so well defined and I'm so excited for this new change and I will definitely trust the process and can't wait to see how they look all healed up . Thank you Catherine for taking the time and working so patiently with me . I have never trusted anybody with my eyebrows and I'm so glad I was able to achieve the look I've always wanted with you ! read more

I was so glad I saw Catherine's ad on Instagram. After browsing her previous works, I have decided to contact Catherine. Scheduling an appointment was easy. She was very meticulous at mapping out my brows and making sure that it was the shape I liked. My brows turned out absolutely perfect. Of course everyone gets worried about the dark brows right after getting them done but it healed perfectly natural on me. I have never gotten so many compliments on my brows before, they were my biggest insecurities (uneven brow growth). Now my brows are so easy to maintain and getting ready is a breeze, I just use some clear brow gel and boom ready to go. Thank you so much brow goddess. I will think about getting a touchup soon but I am happy with the shade right now. read more

I discovered Catherine on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her microblading style. I had originally intended to get my brows done elsewhere, but I was really enamored with Catherine's work and waited patiently for her appointments to open back up. It's been a few weeks since my first appointment and I'm really happy with my brows! Granted, a few spots are patchy but I know healing is different for everyone, and luckily I already have a touch up appointment scheduled in a few weeks. Catherine really makes sure your brows suit your face. She did her best to accommodate my preferences but ultimately, the end result is limited by your natural brows. Her strokes are really crisp and hair like, and Catherine herself is friendly and really mindful of making sure your experience is clean and safe - super appointment during these times. I really recommend Catherine if you're interested in getting your brows done! read more

Best decision ever: to get powder brows with Catherine. I had microblading done in like 2019 with another artist and it didn't like how it faded to pink-red. I naturally have very light brows so if I don't fill them in with makeup my face looks weird. I texted Catherine my brows so she could see the previous work, got the OK to book my appointment. I fell asleep during my first session because it was very relaxing and didn't hurt at all. It feels like threading but for 3 hours lol. Eyebrows healed great, repeated the process for my touch up some weeks later and now I have perfect soft tinted brows that make me feel so confident. I am so happy with them! I highly recommend Catherine because she is very precise, thorough, and approachable. I love that she showed me the brow mapping for my approval and talked about what would best fit my face and how I usually do my makeup. I'm glad I was given the ointment and things for aftercare, I felt very taken care of. And I texted with a few questions and Catherine was great and patient answering them! Her studio is super cute and clean as well. I get so many compliments on my brows that I've been recommending all my friends and coworkers and even people I meet at work to get their brows done with Catherine. Hurry and book soon you won't regret it! read more

My wife was getting her eye brows done with Cat, and she somehow convinced me to get them done as well. As an Asian male I never considered doing something so "feminine". Boy was I wrong! I obviously told Cat I wanted it to look as natural as possible. Almost like you can't even tell I did anything to my brows. I'm so happy I did! She made my eye brows look longer and fuller and they look so natural! You can't even tell work was done! For all the guys out there that even thought about fixing up your eye brows, Cat is the one to take care of you. Amazing work. Let her work her magic and make you better! read more

I was referred to Catherine by my friend who got her eyebrows done from Catherine. AND LET ME TELL YOU GIRL. DO NOT HESITATE TO GET YOUR BROWS FINESSED BY CATHERINE. She is a literal magician. Catherine really takes her time to do your brows. She took ~3 hours to do my brows the first time and around ~2 hours to do my retouch. She really cares about her work and would spend that extra hour to help you achieve your dream brows. I love the fact that I can wake up, wash my face, put some moisturizer on my face and get ready in 5 minutes. I was hesitant at first because it is a costly procedure but trust me, I would do it all over again if I had to. It's worth every single penny. I love my brows so much!! And I love you Catherine!!! read more

5 stars for Catherine!! She is the best of the best in Orange County for brows.

Soso happy with my brows! Catherine is extremely professional, careful, and thorough. She takes the time to make sure she's doing them evenly and that you like them. The studio is very clean, and she makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Personally, it took my brows 3 times total to finally look filled in (I think) because I have oily skin, but it's so worth now! I got just ombre done and I love the natural, soft style that she does. I would highly recommend for those who are tired of filling in your brows and want a natural look all the time. Thank you, Catherine! read more

TRUST THE PROCESS!!! I had been hunting for someone with the most natural looking microblading services for at least 2 years. After following Catherine on Instagram for awhile, I knew she was the one. Enough to fly down just to see her! (I live in the Bay Area). She really knows what she's doing and genuinely takes the time to customize the service to your face structure. Definitely felt like Bert from Sesame Street when leaving, but it healed so well! 100% coming back for the touch up when it's time. read more
