I just got my nano brows done with Katrina and WOW -- I am beyond impressed!! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. The pre-care and post-care instructions she gave were super thorough, so I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. That already gave me so much peace of mind before we even started. The actual process was shockingly easy -- hardly any discomfort, and Katrina's attention to detail is unmatched. She really took her time to map out the perfect shape for my face. The results are honestly jaw-dropping. I literally can't tell where my natural brows end and the nano brows begin -- the strokes look like real hair, and the blend is so natural and seamless. Even though I just started my healing phase, my brows already look incredible! Every time I look in the mirror I can't believe how polished and put together I look without lifting a finger. It feels like the ultimate beauty hack. Other people need to know this too: * Katrina is a true artist -- she's meticulous, gentle, and her work is seriously flawless. * The brows don't look fake or overdone at all, just soft, natural, and perfectly shaped. * If you're tired of filling in your brows every day, this will change your life. I couldn't recommend Katrina enough! If you've been on the fence about nano brows -- run, don't walk. This is hands down one of the BEST self-care decisions I've ever made. read more

In love!!! So very happy. No pain during, as Katrina uses a numbing agent. Absolutely no pain after. There are different techniques. I went with the Nano-stroke, hair like, subtle, as I'm not a full face makeup girlie. But if you are, there's a technique for you. I did a ton of research and found the best. She is kind, professional, knows her stuff, has a seamless process from start to finish, teaches other technicians and wants you to be happy. There are cheaper artists, but a tattoo on your face deserves the best. Don't compromise, you won't regret it. I waited way too long to have this done. Worth every penny. Thank you Katrina!!!

Brows By Katrina - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Ramon, California

I highly recommend Brows By Katrina. She has a beautiful, clean studio with an amazing floor to ceiling window facing lush greenery. Katrina is extremely talented and professional, but also kind and an absolute perfectionist. I have been having her do my brows for 5 years now and wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

My brows were super sparse, but I had never considered microblading until my daughter had her brows done by Katrina. I couldn't believe how natural they look. So, to get an appointment as a new client, you have to wait till the 1st day of the next month when she opens up limited appointments for that month. You gotta be quick because sometimes those appointments fill up in 5 minutes. On the day of my appointment I nervously enter the reception area. It's nice and welcoming. Katrina greets me and takes my temperature and then leads me inside her studio. She's so warm and sweet that I'm instantly at ease. We spent almost half the time on the consultation and drawing the brows. Once the brows are drawn to my liking, she begins the microblading. You do feel the strokes, even after the numbing cream, but it's not too bad. Katrina is such a perfectionist, she goes over my brows several times to make sure every stroke is exactly where it should be. She gives you a goody bag with ointment, face shield for when you wash your hair, and other necessities for your healing. I followed her instructions, and my brows healed very easily. Hardly any scabbing and no itching. They look so good, I didn't really need to have much done during the touch up appointment (8-10 weeks later). I couldn't be happier with my brows. I wouldn't trust my brows to anyone but Katrina. read more

Katrina is absolutely amazing in her talent for creating beautiful brows. She is very committed to her clients' welfare, is meticulously clean, and focused on the best outcome. I never thought my brows would look so good, but she made it happen. She is a warm and lovely person, and I'm so happy my daughter referred me to her. read more

Where do I begin? I'm convinced Katrina is the best in the business, at the very least the best in the Bay Area. She is not only a talented artist with a true passion for what she does, she also runs an incredible business that she built on her own. I had been dreaming of getting my eyebrows microbladed for many years. When I came across Katrina's Instagram page, her work spoke for itself from the photos. Cut to my first appointment - my skin was not up to par (was having a breakout in my eyebrow area). This is how I know she is the real deal - she is 100% not willing to microblade unless all requirements are met. She does this for many reason, number one being client satisfaction with the product. I was able to reschedule to another date when my skin had healed. Last week was my 6-8 week touchup and the results are mind blowing. Worth. Every. Penny. Katrina's work is superior because of the rigor and work ethic she's created around her business. If you're looking for a quick and easy deal - this is not the place for you. If you're someone who doesn't like to follow the rules, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for an amazing artist that will educate you on how to not only obtain the microbladed or powder brow look you want but MOST IMPORTANTLY how to MAINTAIN, then set your reminders for the start of next month when her books open. Lastly, I have to also shout out the small details. Katrina has thought of everything - from a super informative and helpful welcome video, to a polished studio space, to the most adorable and thoughtful "goodie" bags. Thank you, Katrina! read more

I absolutely love my tiny tattoo!!! Katrina is super talented! She's done my brows in the past and there's no one else I would trust to do tiny tattoos on me than her. When my dog passed, I knew having Katrina to do a tattoo of his name was something I wanted to do in his memory. Thank you so much Katrina, this tattoo is very close to my heart and I wouldn't want anyone else to do it than you. Absolutely beautiful! read more

I was recommended to Katrina by my wax lady and I definitely love the service and transparency she gives. The process is reasonable and little to no pain. I literally was falling asleep as she was doing her work on me lol I also have a high pain tolerance but even without anything it's literally not bad. I will be a returning customer she provides excellent customer service and a very clean office space!! read more

Honestly, look no further for the perfect brows. Katrina is the BEST. She's so talented, knowledgeable, professional and fun! Her new space is stunning and so clean.

Book now, you'll love it!! read more

I wanted to wait a few weeks before I reviewed Katrina. And now that I am a few weeks after my first session - I can officially say I am beyond happy I went with her for my microblading. Starting off - my first session I was nervous, but she was lighthanded and because I stuck by what she recommended (no coffee for 2 days was hard), I barely bled and it made it an easier time to get microbladed. It didn't hurt at all. After/One Week Later - my brows look GREAT. Full and darker, just like I always wished they would look like. I am excited to see what they look like in a month when they are done healing (they are peeling right now but it isn't too bad). Going above and beyond - from the video letting me know what to expect during my first appointment, to the customer service, kindness, gentle hand and goodiebag, Katrina definitely knows what she is doing. Excited to wear LESS makeup and get out with my new brows! read more

Brows By Katrina - Katrina did a great job with my brows. Definitely excited to show them off in the East Bay. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - San Ramon, California

Super detailed, thorough, and 25th-century high tech! This is how much Katrina cares about her clients: she doesn't want anyone to use their own post-care products, so she gives you hers because of the risk of cross-contamination. Amazing job! read more

I have gone to Katrina frequently over the past few years. She has done all of my touch-ups on the suggested timing. However, I always questioned why the procedure hurt so much with so much blood. Many years ago, I had my first microblading procedure from a woman in SF. She was considerably more expensive than Katrina so when I saw Katrina's 5 star reviews and price point, I started going to Katrina. However, the SF woman's work did not hurt one bit while Katrina's was a test of my pain tolerance not to mention the blood. Anyways - I have had someone else take a look at my brows as I need to get a touch-up and coupled with the fact I was always in pain during Katrina's sessions, she said Katrina went too deep with her instrument. So now I'll get a saline wash to get all of the purple out and start over. This is only my experience but a review nonetheless that I think is worth sharing. Her shaping and coloring are great though hence the two stars! Just beware. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Katrina. She is an artist! From the moment I stepped into her office I knew I was in good hands. She explains the procedure in detail, answering any questions that arose. My eyebrows were sparse, especially the right one. I was interested in getting them tastefully filled, nothing too drastic. She listened to my request and delivered. She took time to draw in the eyebrows first so I could see what they would look like before she started the micro blading, sort of like a stencil. Once that was approved she started micro blading. The procedure was not painful at all. She puts a numbing cream on prior to starting. When she showed me the finished product, I was in awe! My eyebrows looked like they did when I was young. I no longer have to fill in my brows and am beyond happy. Tomorrow I go in for my follow up where she will fill in any bits that faded and then some. I will post another picture of the final final once they have healed. Katrina is a true professional and worth every penny. read more

Before I found Katrina, I did thorough research on a permanent makeup artist to use. I looked at artists all over the East Bay all the way down to the South Bay. Katrina is the only artist where I looked at her pictures and felt amazed, felt in love, felt confident that my brow will turn out good. When it comes to any area of your face you should not mess around. She has an extensive portfolio on IG that you should check out before making your decision. She has a website that's easy to navigate to book your appointment but I would recommend following her in IG so you know when appointments are available. Her website has extensive information on the microblading process, so it's a good read up before your appointment. Her shop is located in San Ramon in a plaza that is easy to find and provides ample parking. I've gone for the initial appointment and touch up appointments and I absolutely love my brows. Each appointment starts out by mapping the brows for the shape. She takes her time mapping everything out which is great, take all the time you need. She makes sure I'm good with the shape before proceeding with the numbing cream. After the numbing cream, the process starts. The process of microblading feels like mini-cuts over your eyebrows with a scratching sound alongside it, and while the microshading feels like poking dots. Don't feel discouraged by my description because it wasn't that bad. I just want you to be mentally prepared unlike I was and the scratching noises freaked me out. What I love about her style is that it's natural and conservative. You can always do more but you can't take back. She walks you through everything, she will even show you everything she uses. She is a little on the pricey side but it is WELL worth it. I have absolutely no regrets. She gives you the next steps on what to expect and how to care for your brows. Follow the directions and you'll have the best results. She books up super fast (like a couple minutes fast). So, do yourself a favor and don't go cheap on your eyebrows. Go for the best of the best so you don't end up looking angry all the time. Random plus - she plays good music while she's doing her thing. read more

I'm on year 2. Katrina is so talented. Amazing technique and attention to detail. I love my brows!!!

Katrina is absolutely amazing at what she does!!! Let's back up a sec though - I never thought I'd find someone I could trust to microblade my eyebrows. I mean, this is a (semi) permanent decision on MY FACE. Also, as a professional makeup artist myself, I figured I wouldn't find anyone that could really get my eyebrows to look how my oh-so-meticulous self desired. I'm a perfectionist and a type-A individual with everything so I'm pretty hard to please with these things... go figure. Katrina is truly an expert and her own type of perfectionist. Which is exactly what you want in a microblading artist. She really worked with me during both my initial session and my touch up session 6 weeks later - during which we both decided I'd love the microblading AND manual shading. She guided me through every step and made sure I was comfortable with everything from start to finish. I never felt like she wasn't listening and wasn't fully aware of my comfort level. She paid attention to every detail and for that I couldn't be happier. She's so easy to talk to, super hygienic, professional and personable, and really knows her stuff!! Also can I say I AM IN LOVE WITH MY BROWS NOW! read more

Having endured sparse brows all my life, I had grown weary of the 30-minute-long morning routine of shaping, drawing and filling in my eyebrows to my own admittedly high standards. I did my research into microblading and landed on Katrina's Instagram where I was instantly impressed by her handiwork. I followed her for over a year before I made an appointment and now I wish I'd done it so much sooner! Katrina, Patron Saint of Eyebrows, welcomed me to her studio in San Ramon. She checked out my brow makeup and talked me through ideal shape and colors as she mapped out my new brows. She was a true professional - showing me her tools, explaining her process, and checking on my comfort level. Although I knew to expect perfection, I was still blown away to behold the final product! The work she did was meticulous and a clear labor of love from an ARTIST. I left with gorgeous brows that only got better after the healing process and subsequent touch up where she added even more darkness and depth. I am 100% in love with my brows and I've been freed from my tedious morning brow routine forever. I am so grateful I chose Katrina to do this work and anyone with less than perfect brows and a dream in their hearts would be wise to follow suit. read more

As a sixty plus woman who over tweezed in my youth, I still never considered brow work. Then came chemo. Three years later AND without an oncology issue , I realized the eyebrows were not recovering. A special event AND my beautiful friend Alex led me to the artist Katrina. This experience was an unexpected life changer. I've learned how the "little things", often taken for granted, are an important aspect of our daily lives. I was so happy to live through treatment, that my appearance was not on the priority list....until recently. From the first visit and quite surprisingly, months later, I see and feel such a difference. In this time of mask wearing, BROWS matter! Katrina's attention to detail is impressive. Her video and written instructions left no doubts about the process. The followup packet was the crème de la crème...important reminders, treats and useful items for these challenging times. It was a perfect grand finale to a great experience. read more

Katrina is the best in the business. She is a perfectionist, which is exactly what I'd want in an artist who is doing anything to my face :) I have now been to Katrina for my initial appointment and two touch ups and I wouldn't trust anyone else. She clearly takes her art and business very seriously. And it's clear to see why she has 5 stars on Yelp. read more

I did a lot of research trying to find a good brow person, and I am happy to say that it all paid off! Katrina is a pro and an artist. She is a perfectionist at microblading, which I love and everyone needs, and my brows look amazing. I drive all the way from Marin County, and it's well worth it. Just went back for my one year touch-up! read more

Katrina did such an amazing job. She explains the procedure in detail and gives you plenty of time for questions. She drew on my potential shape of my eyebrows then let me see and asked if there was anything I wanted to change. Not only is she amazing at what she does but she is also a easy going fun person to chat with! I highly recommend her. read more

The best investment I have ever made! Katrina is a true artist. She is so intricate with every brow stroke that she does. This is my 3rd year going to her. I can honestly say she is the best in the bay area. read more

Being my first time getting my brows microbladed, I had a lot of apprehension heading into the appointment. I was so delighted by Katrina's confidence in her process and professionalism, my fears were quickly eased. She is a gem, and so pleasant to work with. But more importantly, I am in love with my brows! Thanks again, Katrina xo read more

Highly Recommended!!! This is the 1st time I had anything done to my face and so I made sure to do my research. The numbing cream used works wonders, I actually took a nap through it. I couldn't be happier!!! I even had to reschedule my appointment cause I was ill. Katrina worked with me and my appointment was rescheduled without a problem! read more

She's so kind and she even advises you to text her with any questions you have! Love Katrina so much!! read more

I was thinking of getting my eyebrows Micro bladed, because as I've gotten older my eyebrows have gotten very thin. So I checked out brows by Katrina on instagram and her pic's were amazing! I went to yelp to check out her ratings & they were really great too! I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did! Katrina is so nice and sweet, she made me feel very safe and comfortable. Not to mention She's a total eyebrow artist! They came out so beautiful and natural looking. It's so cool to wake up with eyebrows again!! Thanks Katrina I just had my 6 to 8 week refinement yesterday and as soon as it heals, I will post more pictures read more

Getting my brows mirco bladed is one of the smartest cosmetic decisions I've made for myself. During the work week, I wear the least amount of makeup, but for sure my brows. Not having to fill in my brows in everyday, or times when I wear a full face has helped out a lot. I've known Katrina from years now, even before she started her career in the makeup industry, and she has always been obsessed with eyebrows. She's a perfectionist in general, so I knew she was the perfect person to work her magic on my face. During my first session, I was very pleased with how she educated me through each step of the process to make me feel comfortable with the work that was going to be done on my face. She considered my opinions and concerns, yet shared hers as well. My touch up session was the same, except with this visit, I requested more of an arch towards the end of each brow and she recommended a different shade. It came out beautifully and I could not be more happy with how NATURAL they turned out. For those of you with sensitive skin - my skin did NOT react to neither of my sessions, so that alone was a big plus for me. In the past 2 months, I've been getting compliments on my brows, and most of them were from people who did not know I got them done. Katrina takes pride in leaving her clients with natural looking eye brows and with all of the pictures I've seen so far (from IG and Yelp), she has done nothing but an amazing job. I love love love my brows!! Now I can literally say, "I woke up like this"? read more

Katrina is AMAZING! The time I spent drawing on my eyebrows every morning began to get very daunting and I hated not feeling confident going out with no makeup on. I did a lot of contemplating about getting my eyebrows microbladed but I am sooooo happy with my brows by Katrina and can't wait to go in for my touch up as soon as she can open up again. read more

Katrina is amazing! She is knowledgeable, patient and passionate about what she does. I love my new eyebrows. She took her time explaining the process, offering her expertise but listening to me as well. I highly recommend Katrina! read more

If you're planning on microblading, look no farther than Brows by Katrina. Katrina is incredibly gifted - from both an artistic and a technical perspective. You can tell she's a makeup artist as she is brilliant at designing the right brow shape for your face (unlike some other microbladers who use the same design on each client). She is meticulous and spent ages measuring and drawing the shape of my brows to ensure they would be perfect. She is also really technically savvy and is conscious of how deep she makes the incisions and considers how the hair strokes will appear over time. I can honestly say microblading has changed my life. It's shaved time off my morning routine and now I feel confident appearing makeup-free. The fact that my brows always look many times better than they did when I used my eyebrow pencil to fill them in is just fantastic. I am a perfectionist and will never entrust my brows to anyone other than Katrina! read more

There's no one else that I would trust with something so permanent that is visible on a daily basis and sets the frame for your face. Her perfectionism, professionalism, and more importantly TALENT make her a no brainer go to for your eyebrows. Not to mention she has a great personality so it makes the time flash by while you're getting the process done. She takes the time to make sure the measurements are flawless and makes sure that you're comfortable throughout the process. Absolutely love her work and have her to thank for hours of makeup saved and for all the compliments I receive! read more

I spent a lot of time trying to find someone who I felt confident could fill in my eyebrows with a natural look. So many artists do a one style fits all microblading job with sharp outlines. That's great for women who prefer that look. I'm very low key about my make up and was wanting a natural look that would make my brows look darker and fuller. I followed Brows by Katrina's IG account for a few months and was really impressed with her work. I was lucky to get a cancellation and was able to see her within a few weeks. Katrina is an absolute #GirlBoss. She does not mess around when it comes to customer safety in following best practices to keep herself and clients as safe as possible from COVID. She is incredibly professional. Once you sit in her chair you know you are in great hands! She spends a lot of time drawing out the lines to give you the best brows for your face. She is truly an artist with the tiny lines she tattoos to make the most natural brows. I've had many compliments from other beauty professionals who see her work close up on me (eyelashes, facials). The absolute best part is that Katrina is a really great and fun person to spend time with! While conversation is kept to a minimum, she just has such a great vibe that when you can chat- she just makes you happy with her energy. The only downside? Afterwards you have to wait up to 3-6 months for your touch up when you wish you could spend more time with her! She may be more than other artists, but you don't want to cheap out when having permanent work done on your face. She is every penny and all the wait! read more

I have seen Katrina's work on my sister's eyebrows and I was not disappointed. In fact I am extremely satisfied with my eyebrows! She explained the whole process and tailored it to my needs! Sharing my before and after pictures to my friends! read more

Finally got my eyebrows touched up after almost 3 years and Katrina worked MIRACLES! My brows faded into a reddish brown color from the previous artist so Katrina gave me the ash tone that I've wanted. The shape was still there but the strokes were all faded after a few years so she redefined and freshened that up too. AKA she gave my brows LIFE! And best part was, it didn't hurt nearly as bad as it did the first time I had it done. I appreciated so much that she listens intently to you, caters to your needs, and perfects every detail. You can tell she's a little obsessed (in a good way) with eyebrows and shape. She is such a perfectionist, and for something that is semi permanent on your face, you're going to want that detail oriented technician. Trust me! It's been almost 2 months, and people are still telling me I look good when I wake up ‍ If you've been wanting to get micro bladed for a while and haven't pulled the trigger for various reasons, let me just tell you, it's worth every penny. To be able to get out of the water, sweat your butt off at the gym, or wake up in the morning after smooshing your face in the pillow all night and still have your brows on point, priceless. read more

Because of Katrina not only do I have nice eyebrows but as they say my eyebrows are on fleek .
