I've wanted to get my eyebrows done for some time and wasn't sure which procedure whether micro blading or nano blading. Didn't fully understand it all. I booked my appointment based on reviews. When I met Elena she was very knowledgeable, kind, and from the start she makes sure you are getting exactly what you want. I ended up getting micro-shading because I wanted definition and contrast. That is exactly what I got and more! Took about 3 hours and wasn't painful or anything. She provides you with all the tools, details about what to expect after and maintenance. She was also is just a please to talk to. She's a restaurant connoisseur so ask her about the best spots around while she's making your eye brows perfection! read more

I requested microblading but nanoblading was a better option for me. She explained that the microblading I had gotten done a few years ago left scar tissue. Which I wasn't aware of. (Different technician) she was very accommodating to my schedule and I was very happy with the results. read more

Elena has been doing my brows for years now and they look fantastic and flawless every time. I love walking out with the perfect brows.

Truly could not be happier with this experience for my mom. Elena was so kind and patient throughout the whole process. She really took her time with the consultation, showed us what could be possible, and really cared about making sure we were happy with everything before proceeding. Time was not a concern for her. You can tell she really cares about the individual and giving them the best results possible. Her craft is amazing.

I was very apprehensive to have my brows done as I am a mature woman so wanted my very sparse and light brows to look natural. I am so happy I found Elena who is very professional and helped me determine what was right for me. Elena suggested brow shading, which has turned out to be the perfect solution. Thank you Elena, I am very happy with the results. I want to add that the professionalism, cleanliness and ambiance were very much appreciated. read more

Elena was an excellent communicator leading up to the appointment for my elderly family member wanting to get her brows done. She was clear on pricing and timing and was also very flexible. The day of the appointment, she was again very thoughtful, thorough and clear about after-care and healing. She was also kind to my family member during the process and asked if she needed water, breaks, etc. What I most appreciated was that she was careful and took her time, and checked in with us throughout the entire procedure. I would definitely recommend her! read more

I have had very sparse brows my whole life. I got my eyebrows tattooed about 7 years ago, it then faded and I got microblading done 4 years ago. I found Elena through Instagram and messaged her some photos. She told me my skin was too oily for microblading but we could do ombré or powder. It totally clicked, because the last time I got mine done, the ink didn't take very well. So grateful that Elena is knowledgeable! Elena started out by designing my brows and measuring everything out. Once we were both satisfied, she numbed me up and got to work. She puts in a high level of detail and I am super impressed! I absolutely LOVE how my brows have turned out! I opted to do the touch-up session with her and now I'm healed up. My brows look natural and I honestly couldn't have been happier. Elena is super sweet, professional and does an amazing job. read more

If you ever had any hesitations, fears, or doubts....Elena will put them all at ease. I am soooo happy for myself, soooo happy I finally did this. There were some things from the first application that I wanted a little different. Time in between the first and second appointments gave me to room and space too see myself in different lighting so that I could really narrow down the finer details. She nailed all the finer points of what I wanted....a "smidge" here and there. I am a no muss-no fuss kinda woman with little experience with brows and frankly, not much concern. She listened with all the patience in the world, took the time I needed. Did I say how happy I am??? They are amazing!! Don't wait any longer, book your consultation with her, the only regret you'll have is why didn't you do it sooner!!! read more

Brows in Grace - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Elena is the best. I got my brows done by her and just recently went for my touch up. I come in for touch ups when I want a refresh, and because she is sooo good at what she does, I love my brows every single time. Her new place is larger and as always very clean, sanitary, white, and is the perfect environment for brows. I am super super picky, and Elena is such a professional that even my pickiness has been satisfied. Her results always look amazing and we are talking about doing my lips next. She gets tons of referrals and her pricing is competitive and her results are incredible. So -if you are wondering where to get your brows done, I highly recommend Elena. She is a true professional. She is a mom like me- and we talked about that and more. She is really a lovely person and even teaches brows so you know you are going to an expert. Every single brow you get anywhere will require touch ups and refreshers- because it's a tattoo, it's permanent makeup, so just keep that in mind and when you go to Elena just know you are getting the best of the best service and results out there. :) Thanks Elena for a job well done and see you soon for my next one! -Linda J. read more

I was nervous but it didn't hurt at all and the outcome was great. I'm going back for a touch up in a few weeks.

I found Elena through a Facebook group where a ton of ladies recommended her. I then checked out the pictures of her work and felt like every single set of eyebrows she drew were in harmony with the faces and looked very groomed and professional. And oh how happy am I to have found her! First of all, she is a true professional. She learned her craft very well and knows every little details when it comes to permanent makeup and taking care of the healing brows. I was especially impressed with the little instruction she put together, as well as an after-care kit. This shows that Elena truly cares about her customers. The work she did was beyond my expectations. I did have PMU of my eyebrows before with another master and I remember the pain being so intense I cried during the procedure and felt the vibration of the needle in the bones of my face. With Elena - I could have fallen asleep because of how gentle she is! She numbs the area before and then works very carefully, checking in with you to see how it goes. Elena is also incredibly patient!!! I came sort of unprepared the first time and just asked her to draw whatever she deemed fitting on my face. Only after I came home, did I start looking over my old pictures, noting which shape I liked the most (should have done it before coming in the first time for sure), and during the touch-up session I basically had her draw a whole different shape. the problem was also that I had a difficulty expressing what exactly I wanted differently (same upper border but more arched in the bottom), so Elena painstakingly corrected my eyebrows millimeter by millimeter until I was completely satisfied with the shape. It took maybe 40 minutes but I've never had more perfect eyebrows in my life. And lastly, maybe it's just my personal impression but I found Elena to be incredibly pleasant and intelligent woman. She made me feel at ease and we talked through the entire 3-hour session. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you, Elena, you made me feel pretty even with no make-up on :) read more

Love my eyebrows! Elena is the best and takes the time to listen to what I wanted, goes over the procedure thoroughly and the aftercare as well. She is very patient and makes the entire process a very rewarding experience. My eyebrows came out better than I imagined and I'm so glad I did them.

I do not know how I lived without the wonderful lip blush I have now! My lips were looking pretty dull and I've never been big on wearing a lipstick. When I came to Elena she recommended the procedure called lip blush. I have pretty low pain tolerance and was concerned it was going to be painful. However, with the anesthesia and Elena's easy hand the procedure was quite painless. She did an amazing job and now I have color in my lips!! Elena is hands down the best permanent makeup artist in OC! If you haven't tried her services yet, you are missing out! read more

My eyebrows never grew back after they fell out during chemo. I was incredibly self-conscious about it and had them microbladed a few years back. I didn't like the shape, the color faded quickly and left minor scarring. I was always frustrated with the time I had to spend drawing them on. I found Elena on Instagram! At my appointment she went over the process, what to expect and aftercare. She is very professional and great at what she does and her location is tranquil and pleasant. The process was comfortable, I think I slept through most of it. . I followed her aftercare directions carefully and am incredibly pleased with the results. I love my eyebrows! It is such a relief to wake up and see them on my face! It saves so much time in the mornings. I am grateful to Elena for her services. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. I have been investigating permanent makeup for my eyebrows for some time. I found Brows in Grace on Instagram and checked reviews on Yelp as well. Booking my appointment was super simple, no deposit required which was nice. Elena was very happy to talk with me about my options. I initially went for Microblading and upon our discussion we decided a Shading would be a better option. She was very professional and explained why. I 100% made the right decision in my pick. I love my brows and will be going back for a waterline treatment in the near future. Thank you Elena!! I love my new look!!! read more
