I wake up looking put together every morning now thanks to Christen! I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and run a small home business so putting on makeup before seeing Christen was eyeliner and brow filler at red lights! Needless to say, it always looked crooked and sloppy. I never wanted my eyebrows tattooed because the ones I've seen on people end up looking blue and weird. But I started looking into micro blading after I had my 3rd child and I just felt and looked...bedraggled (see before pic ). I literally researched and obsessed over who to see and if I should even do it. Then along comes my amazing local mom's group who recommend over half a dozen artists in LA for microblading. I tried to do this without considering the cost even though we're on a super tight budget because I wanted to find the best person for the look I was going for and save up. You see, I had my eyeliner done by a makeup artist in Chicago who had "experience" with microblading. Long story short she tattooed below the lash line so the numbing agent didn't take and I felt EVERY STROKE. One side was partially done and the other side barely showed any liner. It took hours and hours and it hurt like crazy. I should mention that I have a dozen regular tattoos and am accustomed to tattoo pain... I finally settled on Christen at Brow Tendre and it was the best thing I ever did. The process was painless and she has the most amazing, gentle touch. I fell asleep twice during the brows and we talked like old friends unless it was time for me to shut my trap and get purdy! She knew my history with skin numbing issues and was patient, gentle and kind throughout the whole thing. I loved my brows so I went back for eyeliner too. I do have one regret though--I SHOULDA GONE TO CHRISTEN YEARS AGO!!! Thank you Christen, I wake up everyday looking fresh and rested--even if I'm not. read more

BrowTendre - Ugh. Look at my sad before picture. Spent a year in a pandemic and yeesh! Thanks stimulus check! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

I first saw Christen in 2018 and just this Friday I got my touch up. Both occasion that I have seen her were extremely pleasant. In fact I feel like my second visit was even better than the last. She is constantly evolving in her work ethic. Glendale is a beautiful but busy city so it made me nervous that parking would be hard to find the first time I had gone but where here office is located they have a parking lot. It is also conveniently located across from a Starbucks and lots of fun food joints. Upon arrival I had text Christen that I would be heading to Starbucks and was afraid I'd be running a few minutes. I did text her to let her know but she mentioned she had not seen it because she was with a client and had not seen it. Which I totally understand. She did not look at her phone once while she was with me during my appointment. Her attention was completely on me the entire time. It was great because I've had plenty of people doing services on me and were always distracted by their phone.. I understand that all eyebrows are different and some people may need a little more time but mine was a touch up and the appointment was quick and easy. She also made this appointment super comfortable with her friendly disposition. The office itself is so vibrant in color and beautiful in display not to mention how clean it is! I will obviously be coming for other services. Thank you for always being amazing. read more

BrowTendre - Eyebrows by Christen - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

Professional work in a welcoming environment! I came to Christen seeking lip blushing neutralization. I was more than nervous about the process but after taking my first look at the results - I absolutely loved how my lips look after that one session! I had a lot of questions but Christen was accommodating and very patient with me. She was kind and understanding; and took the time to explain everything to me along with what to expect. I am so over-the-moon happy and grateful for her expert work, that I don't feel that I need a touch up! She is a talented artist & professional, hands down - and her work shows!!! I get compliments on my lip color daily! I owe it all to her personalized customer service and excellent treatment. Thank you for making me feel my best! read more

Follow up To my previous reviews. I'm still following up with the DISATEROUS procedure that Christen performed on my eyelids. Instead of inquiring as to why I was in urgent need of a follow up Christen COWERS and does mot stand by her work. Christen cowardly waited until 2 days before my follow up to cancel purposely as a slight. PATHETIC , UNPROFESSIONAL, COWARDLY, AND BIASED. Other clients have had multiple touch ups after having Eyeliner procedures with Christen, who did not extend the same response to me. Her Brows might be in point, but she is mot as skilled or knowledgeable in her skills when it comes to PERMANENT EYELINER. ( ALL CAPS WAS WARRANTED IN MY PREVIOUS REVIEWS AS A CAUTIONARY TALE). Christen instead used an my text requesting an earlier appointment to create content for her Instagram profile. YOUR PERFORMING A SERVICE AND NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA, AND YOUR QUESTIONABLE PROFESSIONALISM SPEAKS VOLUMES. So, I have had to follow up with my Ophthalmologist, as well as an specialty Surgeon regarding the blockage of my Meibomian gland dysfunction known as Meibomianitis. This is due to the oil glands in my eyelids blocked due to excessive passes done by Christen resulting in the trauma and extended recovery from the Permanent Eyeliner tattoo by none other than Christen the owner at Browtendre. Instead of inquiring or general concern for her clients Christen gives zero consideration for her clients. THIS IS REGARDING PERMANENT EYELINER, WHICH CHRISTEN HAS UNDER TWO YEAR OF EXPERIENCE DOING AND MARKETS HERSELF AS AN EDUCATOR FOR HER EYELINER TECHNIQUE. RUN! She doesn't stand behind her work or value her clients. read more

I cannot express enough how much I LOVE my brows. I had previous work done from a few years ago which I was content with, however was looking for more of a shape/ definition. Christen gave me better shape and color. I got compliments on my brows literally 5 minutes after leaving my appointment. Not only do I love my brows, I love the conversation I had with her. She is so down to earth, genuine and talented. Thank you so much for fixing up my eyebrows! Wouldn't trust anyone else with them ever again! read more

BrowTendre - Bottom pic is before, top is after - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

It has taken me way too long to write this review! Better late than never. I am so happy with my brows!! Christen is absolutely amazing. I came to her with an old micro blading job that I had done probably about three years ago the color was really bad and the placement wasn't any better. She completely corrected the color and the shape of my brows and I absolutely love them! I love that they are perfectly imperfect because I really like that natural fluffy brow look. She is a true magician and I have recommended a friend to her who is also very pleased with her results, in fact my friend got her brows lips and eyes done! I can't believe how much change it has made in my overall appearance and how easy it is to apply make up now. Her location is central and parking is easy. Clean studio and great attitude. I'll be back for more! read more

BrowTendre - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

I do not enjoy providing negative reviews, but I feel I've been left with no choice. A close friend of mine had her eyebrows micro bladed elsewhere and she was unhappy with the results. I undoubtedly referred her to Christen, knowing she'd do an amazing job. Unfortunately, the results were not what my friend had expected and nor as I would have expected. My friend was too embarrassed to mention her unhappiness to me as I was the one that referred her. The color is extremely faint and you can barely see the outline and strokes. It's as if her eyebrows were not micro bladed at all. I have tried reaching out to Christen since November to rectify my friend's dissatisfaction. Initially she replied back, but as soon as I notified her of my friend's concerns and request to rectify, she has stopped communicating with me. I believe as a business owner, there has to be a solution to any mistakes or dissatisfactions that may occur. Especially in this type of business when referrals are key to your success. read more

I traveled to Christen for permanent makeup training and she was an amazing instructor! She answered all of my many questions, was kind and super knowledgeable. I also received a lip blushing service from her and I'm super happy with the results & with her professionalism & efficiency. would recommend her to everyone & would love to have additional services in the future. read more

Love, love, love Christen!! She is the best! Omg, I do not regret ever going to her!! So glad that I found her back in March of last year... She had me lighten my previous horrible micro-bladed eyebrows, which was done by someone else and a year later (today!!) I went back to her and she did what she does best!! She is such doll and such awesome personality and just so knowledgeable in this field...Definitely recommend her to anyone!! Christen, thank you!! read more

I went in for micro blading which is no small thing. Tattooing one's face is make or break. Christen was my choice based on the great Yelp ratings and based on her obvious talent as an artist. I just threw all caution to the wind. Why not? Lots of people get face tattoos! Well....she did such an incredible job. My super picky sister saw my face and said, "This is how brows would look in a perfect world." The way you know that Christen is top notch is by the fact that she listens to your questions and concerns and then creates the most beautiful design for your face. read more

I was referred by my friend for lip blush. I can't lie I was scared, I didn't know exactly what it was but I decided to give it a chance. As soon as I showed up I was welcomed and tended to like I was royalty. The studio has just a great vibe, a very serene atmosphere and clean setting. That alone made me fee comfortable not to mention Christen! She's such a dope person, very thorough and explained everything to me in order to make sure I was 100% comfortable. I loved the initial outcome but the touch up to was even better! The color she made for me is perfect! I would recommend her to anyone interested in lip neutralization, or natural cosmetic tattooing! read more

Posting this review on behalf of my mom: Got my eyebrows microbladed last week and all I can say is: why did I ever wait this long? Christen was so thorough and made sure I knew how the process would go from the beginning to end. The moment I booked my appointment, she was always keeping me in the loop. She basically did a consult via text because I wasn't sure on what i should get. On the day of my appointment, she went over the process and was so clean and professional. She mixed a perfect color. There was zero pain and my brows look amazing. The best part is Christen explained the entire healing process down to each day. This actually helped because I won't be freaking out when it starts to fade or scab. Just part of the process! Will be going for the first touch up in August! read more

Christen is amazing! I have never done anything like this before so to say I was pretty nervous, was an understatement. Not only did Christen do a fantastic job, she made me so much less nervous! I already love my new eyebrows! Can't wait until the healing is done to see the final result. THANK YOU, Christen! read more

I had my brows microbladed by Christen about a month ago and I have no regrets!!! It was an amazing experience and Christen is very knowledgeable and extremely patient! I did a great deal of research on microblading and was very concerned about the procedure looking natural. She spent almost an hour with me talking about and walking me through the process and gaining a good understanding of what I wanted. I also wanted to ensure that she had experience with performing the procedure on women of color without issue and she did. She was just so patient. The procedure was so simple and easy, I actually feel asleep. And during the healing process, especially when the scabs came off and I was panicking that perhaps it had been a waste, she was super patient and kind. I texted her several times and she answered all of my questions and helped keep me calm. I am looking forward to returning in two weeks for my touch up. Christen was phenomenal and I would highly recommend her! read more

Referred by my sister to come here and do Microblading. I was very nervous beforehand and I can honestly say I feel stupid not doing it sooner.

She was amazing and super sweet/fun/knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I flew in from Houston to see Christen bc she's the only one I trust with my lips...‼‼

I got a Lip Blush here in January and I can't speak highly enough about the whole experience. This was my first cosmetic-type of procedure and I had been looking at doing lip fillers, but could never get up enough nerve to do it. I wasn't looking to enlarge my natural lips, I was looking to restore them to what they were 5 years ago, before age shrunk them and wrinkles caused them to be uneven. It was taking me 30mins or more to try and even them out each morning, and I'd finally had enough. After doing a lot of research, I decided on going to BrowTendre. They have a lot of reviews and a high rating, and after checking out the website and seeing details on the procedure and Christen's credentials, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, I feel like I have the lips of my youth back read more

BrowTendre - My lips after the healing process from a Lip Blush - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Browtendre! Not only is Christen unbelievably talented, but she's the nicest person you'll ever meet! You can tell she truly loves what she does and it shows through her work. I came to her a couple of years ago with BOTCHED eyebrows from a previous artist's work. We did a couple of saline removal sessions to start all over with a blank slate which was a process, but it had to be done. She redid my eyebrows so beautifully - I did not have to come in for a touch up until 2 years-ish later, which was a couple of weeks ago. The hair strokes are still visible from the initial appointment and have not faded that much either. I'm always impressed by her work and would not trust anyone else to microblade my eyebrows. read more

Session #1 & 6 months later , my microbladed eyebrows still look amazing! The *Best* part? Being able to just **wake up and go** - not spend 1.5 hrs filling in my brows daily, like i used to! Best decision I've ever made! I will definitely be back for touch ups Thank you, Christen!! read more

BrowTendre - ...How it's going : *6 months later* - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

Omg!!!! Where to begin... (2018)initially I was very nervous about getting eyebrows micro bladed, but Christen put my mind/nerves at ease. To be honest, this wasn't just a small touch up... it was a brow overhaul. I didn't really give Christen much to work with but she gave me a brand new set of brows. I came back this year for a touch up, and again, she was amazing!!! I love her work!! I love my brows!!! I love her vibe!!! Thank You BrowTendre!!!!! read more

Just went back for a touch up, the brows still looked good, but after almost a year, I thought they could perk up a bit. As usual, outstanding work. Completely satisfied. I am 75 years old, and big heavy brows wouldn't be flattering. When I got my hair done today, the girls in the salon were very impressed and asked who did my brows. read more

If you are considering doing microblading for your brows, go to Christen!!! She is a true artist and her work is impeccable. I've had unruly, uneven, over plucked eyebrows for years, and she beautifully shaped them and microbladed in the thinner areas. The strokes are so natural and the best part about it is now I know exactly where to pluck! (Outside the lines!) I just love the new shape and it really frames my face. No more using a brow pencil every day!!! read more

I had my brows microbladed about 4 years ago and because my brows turned red after awhile, I was so desperate to get them done again but finding the right person was the hardest part. I found this place on IG and saw so many good reviews. I was scared cuz it's another tattoo and it's costs money but Christen the owner was so pleasant to talk to on the phone. Told her about my brow situation and she explained to me what needed to be done and so I made my appointment right away. First appointment was the color correction and second appointment was the microblading and some microshading. Waking up every morning with confidence knowing I don't have to pencil in and put color on my brows was just a life saver. I love how Christen took out the redness, shaped and made my brows look 3D. Thank you so much Christen. I totally recommend her. Her place is clean and very organized. read more

BrowTendre - My before and after - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

Went to Brow-tendre today after years of contemplating micro-blading. I sadly over plucked my brows as a teen and they just never grew back. Every single morning I struggle trying to pencil them in to look natural, only to find them rubbed off within a few hours (thanks oily complexion!). I have always felt self conscience even working out without brows. I was nervous because semi-permanent makeup seems like such a commitment and I am really picky. Christen's cute little shop is really quaint and welcoming when you walk in. She is super friendly and high energy which immediately put me at ease. She walked me through her process and this girl knows what she's doing.!! Fast forward to an hour 1/2 later and my eyebrows were transformed. There was zero pain and the time flew by. She did an excellent job working with the little bit of brows I naturally have and my unique bone structure. Excellent work... I'm really bummed I didn't go see her 10 years ago!! Book your appointment ladies it is worth every penny. The before & after picture really speaks for itself. It looks even better in person too! Yayyyyy! read more

BrowTendre - Eyelash Service Near Me - Glendale, California

Update- After my initial appointment my brows didn't really need a touch up they looked amazing and I got sooo many compliments, but I opted to getting a touch up because I wanted a little more shading and just a little more hair strokes to make them look just a a smidge fuller, and once again Christen did her thing!!! I didn't think it was possible to love my brows even more but I do! They are everything I wanted!!! OMG I love my new eyebrows! Christen is absolutely the best! She is soooo informative, any questions and or concern I had about microblading was completely taken care of with her just explaining what the process will be like. But what I loved the most about my microblading experience, is that she made me feel like I was going to get custom eyebrows, based on my natural features and assured me i would love it. I honestly would recommend her to anyone! if you want amazing results and someone who knows what she is doing just drive to Glendale to see Christen!!! I am no longer on the struggle brow bus. read more

I was impressed with this business at first, as they contacted me immediately. Suggested I postpone permanent makeup for 6 months since I'd just had cosmetic surgery. After 6 months, I contacted them again to schedule brows, eyeliner and lips. I texted 3 times and never received a reply. read more

This is in response to the owners response on my first review which other customers can find posted..... Christen you have missed the entire point of my review. It's so disappointing to hear you are not being honest. I have absolutely zero reason to lie about my experience. That's exactly why platforms like Yelp exist. I have no doubt in your training or abilities... this was MY experience with your attitude which was very rude and off putting. I hope you can take responsibility for that. I was in a lot of pain and bottom line is that you could have handled the way you spoke to me a lot better than you did. I was certainly not having a conversation with you while you were working on my face. I take care of my skin very well and have gotten other cosmetic procedures done to my face that involve needles/ tattooing I have NEVER been spoken to the way you spoke to me the day of my appointment. Regardless if you choose to write another page long response to try to compensate for your tone that day I hope as a business owner you learn for this review. read more

2.5 years later I finally felt like a touch up was getting to be necessary and Browtendre delivered yet again! This time she did some light shading as well as the blade strokes and my eyebrows look so much fuller. I can't believe they lasted so long from my first appointment, microblading has been so so worth it for me. At the same maintenance appointment she did soft eyeliner for me in a beautiful dark brown so the look can be for everyday and not reminiscent of my middle school raccoon phase. Was I nervous about tattooing my eyelids? Absolutely. But as always, she walked me through everything, the numbing cream worked miracles, and the aftercare is ridiculously easy. I, and all my group chats, are obsessed already. Thank you Christen! See you in 2-3 years! read more

The best gift to myself? The beautiful brows, lash liner and lip blush Christen gave me! The "make-up" application TIME these save me adds up to hundreds of hours over the past few years, and my permanent makeup is always perfect!! I came back for touch up after a couple of years, and so thrilled with the result AND what a precious, beautiful soul this artist is! It really is a privilege and I am so glad I was referred to her!! Her work is perfection!! read more

Christen is amazing and a total pro. She is able to give my formerly pale, colorless, undefined lips a beautiful and natural flush of color with a crisp lip line. I've been waiting years to find someone I trust to do this treatment with and I'm so glad I waited. My lips look real. There's no chalky wash of sloppy color. I usually wear lipstick whenever I leave the house. I wouldn't be caught dead without it, but I finally feel like I can get away with just lip balm and still feel put together. My main focus was my lip borders and her color matching skills are insane. Her studio is impeccably clean. You feel totally safe knowing you're in good hands. I hardly felt pain and took a nap during my procedure WITHOUT any numbing. Touch of an angel! Thank you Christen! read more

Christen is a life changer! I saw her a couple weeks ago for microblading and I'm in love with the results! I've received so many compliments about my brows.

So this was my first time and I made an appointment today at 12 PM I text the person that I was on my way and I was in front of her door at 12 PM waiting for a text back never heard anything then I text her back to let her know that I left then she text me saying that she was with a client and she had her gloves on which I understand but then I told her that I had appointments today so I was unable to make it because usually when you make an appointment at 12 you're seen at 12, I requested a day off to see this person so I asked if I could reschedule and she said that I was unable to reschedule so meaning I am an able to see her at all extremely unprofessional and a waste of my time this is not the way to treat customers especially when you're asking for $600 without even seeing the person first and having a consultation.Besides the moment I drove into the parking lot it was extremely ghetto so I was already feeling uneasy with it. I'm very happy it didn't work out! Extremely unprofessional read more
