Very tidy and professional. Felt nervous but she was nice and put me at ease. The outcome looks great too.

10/10 service. Michelle is the sweetest person ever and was so informative about the entire process. The space was a vibe because of the R&B music. I also just love the fact that Michelle took her time mapping out my brows and adjusted accordingly to my preference. It's so nice waking up with even, filled brows now. I don't even bother putting makeup on my brows unless I'm doing a heavy makeup look. My morning routine for work has significantly decreased by a good 15 mins everyday as well. I will say, the process was very painful despite the numbing cream so please be aware of that. And it's a weird chalkboard-scratching feeling as well. Otherwise, you end up looking amazing so beauty is definitely pain in this case. My eyebrows healed nicely as well. I did two sessions: one initial and one retouch. Just follow Michelle's post-care instructions and you will be taken care of. I'm so happy about my new brows ! Thank you!!!! read more

This was the best decision i've EVER made. I've been self conscious about my eyebrows my entire life. Naturally they're so thin and sparse - Ive had to do full makeup on them every time I do anything just to feel confident. This is not the case anymore! Michelle has changed my life! I can't go on enough about how amazing and natural they look. when I wake up and look in the mirror I see perfect eyebrows that match my face. Also Michelle is just the most pleasant person to be around, she makes you feel very comfortable and explains the process well. I looked at so many different places for microblading - I was so overwhelmed and scared about making the wrong decision, but I can say with full confidence that I think I got the best results possible with michelle and I am SOOOOO glad I went here :) read more

Caress Permanent Makeup - I went from barely any eyebrow in an awful shape to THESE !!! 3 - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let me start off by saying if you're considering getting microblading - just do it! I highly recommend and wish I would have done it sooner but glad I waited until I found Michelle at Caress. I had been wanting to get microblading done for a few years but was very nervous about it. When I finally decided I wanted to move forward with it, I did lots of research and looked up many places and I definitely picked the right place. I could not be happier with my choice to go with Caress and have my microblading done by Michelle. She is super professional and has such great energy which provides for an awesome experience. Above that, she is SUPER TALENTED. I saw that from all the other reviews & pics, she does AMAZING work, but I definitely got to experience it myself. I am SO SO HAPPY with the result.

If you happen to read this review to decide whether you should go with Caress or the other place, I can assure you 100% go with Caress!!! Looking back I feel soooo grateful that I found Michelle at Caress and that I followed what my guts telling me at that time and went ahead with an appointment! Pass forward exactly 2 months later I still cannot believe every single morning that I wake up with beautiful eyebrows!!! Michelle was very patient, I was born with little to probably almost no eyebrows and took her a long time to designed my eyebrows until I was completely fully satisfied with the design. She really is an expert on creating beautiful eyebrows! Please... please do not ever think that all microblading places are the same! They absolutely are not! Thank you again and again Michelle! See you in November for my touch ups! read more

Best. Decision. Ever. I live in Scottsdale, AZ and I have been researching microblading artists since the beginning of 2018. I was not thrilled with my options back home and wanted something beautiful and done correctly. I started to explore the Los Angeles area on Yelp and found Caress. I am very happy I did! My brows are beautiful and the whole experience changed my brow life forever. Thank you, Michelle!!! Can't wait for my touch-up. *Side note* There is a parking lot and a back door in the back. It's inside an office type building but the studio is on the second floor at the very end with a sign that says CARESS. Hope this helps :) read more

Caress Permanent Makeup - Microblading - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here in March 2018 for the first time to get my non-existent eyebrows microbladed and it was the best decision I ever made! I spent a lot of time researching different places, but I'm so glad I chose Caress. Julie did my eyebrows last year and I recently returned for a 12-18 month touch-up with Michelle. I have very oily skin and acne, so I use a lot of skincare products, but the microblading survived the last 15 months despite all that. It faded slightly to a lighter shade, but it still looked great. I am so happy with my results (both times) and will continue to come here for touch-ups!

Caress Permanent Makeup - No makeup on my brows - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Los Angeles, California

your brows still a virgin? whoohoo! not anymore! it seems like i always miss the train, but on aug.1st, i was the first person to go on board. unfortunately, i'm not blessed with nice eyebrows; however, i found someone who can turn them fuller and beautiful. michelle is sweet, patient, humble, precise (crucial), skilled, and has many years of experience. she tells you step by step what to expect. although the healing process can be a bit uncomfortable, i am willing to give up couple of weeks of discomfort for year(s) of being able to "wash & go," or simply to cut back some time getting ready in the morning. although most clients are female, guys get them done too. definitely, i would recommend her to anyone who is interested in having fuller beautiful brows. read more

I will start off my review by saying that these ladies are so helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, I am not happy with the result of my eyebrows. I'm someone who suffered from over-tweezed brows and dreaded drawing my eyebrows on everyday. I came across their Instagram page and knew this would be the best choice for me. My first session was amazing (Michelle did my brows) and I loved the results but my eyebrows were still sparse. Michelle recommended that I eventually add shading to my eyebrows the next time I come in for a touch-up which is $300 extra. The second session was a touch up and Michelle also shaded my brows this time around. During this session, I remember feeling a deep stroke on my eyebrow and I flinched; Michelle gasped and asked if I was ok. I didn't think anything of it. Yet, now that my brows are healed, I have a small uneven stroke on my left eyebrow and it's noticeable in some photos, which is kinda embarrassing. The stroke is dark and does not look apart of my brow shape which makes me believe this will just turn into a scar. In photos, it's noticeable and you can see that it is uneven - mostly from my side profile. It's made me sometimes hate taking selfies because my eyebrows look oddly shaped. My recommendation to anyone who has over-tweezed eyebrows is to definitely make sure you like the shape they suggest for your face - perhaps draw them the way you like them before you come in. I did love their service, but not very happy with the results after paying a hefty $800. I'm hoping that they will fade soon - already noticing red strokes though and fear that they may never completely go away. My advice to anyone who is looking into micro-blading (especially those with over-tweezed brows) - do your research on the healing process and how they look after they are faded. read more

Caress Permanent Makeup - Uneven stroke at the tip of my left eyebrow. :/ - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Michelle is amazing & talented! It was my first time getting microbladed brows and was apprehensive in the beginning but Michelle was assuring throughout the entire process. With that being said, trust the healing process! She kept close to my natural brow shape and during mapping, customized my look depending on what I was comfortable with. It's been about 6 months and I've received plenty of compliments on how natural the strokes look. So far it has held up well on my skin albeit I have combo/dry skin. I'll definitely be back for future touch ups! read more

Where to begin?.... How important is finding the right place to have your eyebrows microbladed!? So much pressure! So I was willing to spend a little more if need be, to ensure I would have amazing results. I researched yelp reviews over and over and finally decided on Caress. I was going to spend $1600 for a place in Hollywood after watching a video of a fitness model (Paige Hathaway) getting hers done, but I read all the negative reviews and I'm glad I stayed away. I saw Michelle. Appointment response time was incredible! She replied to me through yelp, after business hours. I had a complicated schedule and was traveling from the Bay Area to see her. She was so accommodating and sweet. First session. After filling out the paper work, I sat and waited with the numbing cream on my eyebrows. There are two applications per session. And the first hurts like hell. Haha. She said I had thin skin (which holds the color well), so I found it to be pretty painful. After Michelle applied more numbing cream and let it sit for a few minutes, the remainder of the appointment was a walk in the park. There's a 4-6 week wait for the touch up appointment. I'll be honest, I liked the results after the first session, but I fell in love AFTER my "touch up" session. My eyebrows were sooooo thin, so I had shading done as well. The peeling wasn't too bad. Make sure to follow all of Michelle's aftercare instructions. Second session (6weeks). Waited for the numbing cream to take affect and once again... ouchy!!! Haha. I waited 15 min in between, then she did the final application. I am so in love with Michelle's work. She is a true artist and perfectionist! She took her time to ensure my brows were finally even (after I destroyed them with over waxing). She also explained every step. Super super amazing experience. Love love love my results. I get compliments on my brows all the time. I don't have to add any shadow to my brows, but if my hair color is Auburn, I'll add a touch of red brown to match my brows. I paid about $700 for the shading and microblading. I recommend you pay with cash. I attached photos, but you can send me a message if you have any questions. Wish I would've done this sooner. THANK YOU MICHELLE, you amazing woman..you. read more

My eyebrows before microblading were VERY sparse and uneven. I would have to fill my brows in every day and I was unhappy with how they looked, especially by the end of the day. I got my brows done with Julie and I cannot emphasize how amazing of an investment it was. My brows look AMAZING. For how little of hair I had in my inner brows, they look amazingly natural. I have a really low pain tolerance and thought the procedure was a little painful. But once Julie applied the numbing cream, I couldn't feel a thing. If I could give them more stars I would. read more

This is truly a 5 star rating. I've been coming to Caress for about 3 years now. And I love each and every touch up with Michelle. For this review, I wanted to write this after touch ups and exposure to the elements (face washing, rubbing the brows, cleaning it with makeup remover, etc). Needless to say, I am still in love with my brows. Honestly, it's taken up to this point to finally feel and see that my brows are reaching the point of satisfaction. I've always had the weird brows....one side was always too thick and the other side was always thin so no matter what I did, there was an uneveness to them. Even after my first few touch ups, one side was always the problem child (one side retained the pigment better than the other side). Michelle worked her magic and made them more even by customizing the color for each brow and providing the right amount of strokes. Having to wake up and feel confident in my brows and knowing that I don't have to color them in is such an amazing feeling. It truly feels liberating to not have to worry about my brows being bald, uneven, and crooked. And the amount of time it saved me from trying to make it look decent is wonderful! I am beyond confident that Michelle is an amazing artist and takes great pride in her work and stand by her quality. People always ask me, "well how much was it?" And will argue that they can always find a better deal with someone else and end up not being in love with their result. You will not regret the care and attention from Michelle here. read more

Amazing work done by Michelle! After seeing numerous micro blading done on others, by other artists, I truly believe Michelle is the best. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, very kind and professional. Thanks, Michelle ! read more

This review is for Michelle who did my microblading For my first time microblading I went with Michelle who my cousin recommended me to. I scheduled an appointment online with a $100 deposit. I was impressed with how busy she was. She was all booked up for about a month in. On the day of, I came early and was told to wait for a bit because she was with a client. While I was waiting, she applied numbing cream to my brows. Once she was ready she called me into the room to go over my color of choice, shape, and look. The room was pretty big and the bed was pretty comfy. I laid down and she stenciled out the outline to see if it was okay with me. Once I was happy she asked my girlfriend to leave for the procedure. She took about 5 minutes on each eyebrow. So each session was 10 minutes for both eyebrows. After each session she had me go to the waiting room to wait for about 10-15 each time. She would call me back to the procedure room. We did three sessions. The entire process took about 2 hours to complete. Once I finished, she had me go back out to pay the remainder of the balance. She gave me a print out of the directions and answered any questions I had. She also scheduled my complementary retouch which is to be done 4-6 weeks from the initial appointment. I'm on my second week right now and it's starting to slightly peel like expected. So far though I am loving it. read more

If you're serious about getting your brows done, this is the place to go!!! I am super happy with my results!!!! I don't wanna sound like an advertisement but if you want fuller, darker, symmetrical, AND natural looking brows, Caress is the one!!! They are so sweet and take their time drawing your brows. Not only do they measure the right brow shape for your face, but her coloring is superb!!! My friend and I got our brows done and the same time and Julie was so nice to schedule us in together. The process takes about 2 hrs but it goes by pretty fast... Just make sure you eat before you come haha!!! I wont lie, it hurts, but they put numbing cream on and there is really little to no pain after!!!! WHICH IS AWESOME!!!!!Maybe a little tightness and itching while it is healing but really nothing to complain about. As your brows heal, you'll start to notice the fine details of their work and how natural they look!! Note: Don't freak out when you first get them done, just wait until it starts to peel and heal (about 1-2 weeks?). Follow their care instructions and leave the cream they put on until it goes away. It'll look funny and shiny for a bit but it's worth the end results! Every time I hear someone cry about how annoyed they are with their brows, I recommend Caress. They are one of the best with GREAT pricing!!!!!! No one can ever tell I got them done because they look so natural!!! Do it girls (or boys), commit to an appointment here and you wont regret it!!!! :D read more

I could not be happier with my Microblading. It was my first time and I was so nervous about it looking fake. Michelle is such a pro, and a perfectionist. My new brows have changed my face, making me feel and look younger and more attractive and they look totally natural. Truly life changing - thank you, Michelle! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I got my eyebrows Microbladed one week ago and I feel like my life has changed. I wake up every day in a better mood. My eyebrows are finally even and they finally exist! The only thing I could be upset about is that I didn't get this done sooner. I researched places for 6 months before finally choosing Caress and I'm super happy with my decision. 10/10 would recommend! read more

One year three months after I did my Microbleding, my eyebrows look worst! Terrible job done. Now I really have to get them laser out! Worst decision ever!think very well before doing this, . Two years later they are worst! No I wouldn't go back there even for free. There's nothing you Julie can do to fix the horrible job you did. No thank you! Women be aware don't go there read more

Thank you to Michelle for taking care of my brows since 2018! Highly recommend for natural brows

Came to get both my eyebrows and eyeliner done today and took a chance because of my friend's recommendation and the positive reviews I read on here. Michelle took her time and consulted with me to determine what kind of shape and look I was going for. She first draws on eyebrows and lets you decide if you want to change it. The procedure took about an hour and half total. I slightly felt pain but it wasn't bad at all!! I will definitely go back to her when the brows and eyeliner fade. I am thrilled with the result! Highly recommended!!!! read more

After rounds or research, I decided to entrust my eyebrows with these ladies. I have short, uneven eyebrows and I always wanted longer and gently curved eyebrows. After requesting for an appointment via Yelp, I was contacted by Julie. The interaction over the phone was professional and reassuring. During my appointment, we spent a chunk of time refining the shapes. One thing I learned during the process was, the shapes I desired may not work well with my native brows, my bone structure and muscle movements. Michelle also came in to brainstorm and consult. They worked well as a team and created the most fitting shapes for me. I'm very happy with the results and can't wait for them to heal completely and go back for my retouch. read more

visiting LA I decided to give micro blading a try. after lots of research I found Caress and really liked their pictures so decided to make an appointment.. first of all their appt system is amazing. I was sent a reminder the day prior with the time and address which very helpful! when I arrived I was greeted right away.. the ladies are very welcoming and made me feel comfortable.. The results of my eyebrows are AMAZING!! just like their pictures.. I was so shocked of how good these ladies are with eyebrows! I had almost no eyebrows and somehow I do now. they look that real. definitely definitely recommend!! I've already been to my complementary touch up and since I'm leaving town they squeeze me right before I flew out which I thought was so nice of them to do. I would not do my touch up anywhere else.

I went to Caress Permanent Makeup to get my permanent eyeliner done for the first time. I always wanted to do it but was worried about the pain and the results. I came to Caress Permanent last week and Michelle and her partner made me feel at ease. They both took care of me and made me feel special. Michelle put numbing cream on my eye lids and she made sure I was comfortable. During the "tatooing" part there was some discomfort but that is usually to getting permanent make up. After it was over I was given an ice pack to help with the swollen and discomfort. I was given a after care sheet of paper. I was told the swollen would go down in couple hours and it did. The next day I had mild swollen in the morning. I was swollen free since. I wasn't able to wet (wash my eye area until this morning). I just used face wipes to wash my face (except my eye liner area). I would highly recommend if you want to get your eyeliner or any permanent make up done to get it done at Caress Permanent Make up. The ladies here will make you happy with your results. Parking is in the back! :) read more

I got my eyebrows microbladed by Michelle back in 2017 and I've been doing my touch-ups yearly since then. This review is long overdue. I found this place through Yelp. The website has pretty much everything you need to know, and Michelle is great at answering any other questions. Her studio is kept tidy. The process is not painful for me, definitely bearable with the numbing cream. I have sparse eyebrows and Michelle makes them look full and amazing every time! I get compliments on my brows from my friends, my hairstylist, total strangers... it's truly a testament to her work. I've referred a couple of my friends to Michelle now and they've also been happy with their results. In my opinion, it's a worthy investment and I would recommend Michelle 1000% read more

Let me start off by saying that by some unfortunate stroke of genetics, I have had zero brow shape/sparse to the point of invisible brow hairs my entire life. Years of my life have probably gone to filling in my brows every single morning, followed by frantic mirror checks after sweating/getting caught in the rain/swimming/accidentally rubbing my eyes to see if my brows had disappeared. After years, I decided to bite the bullet and made an appointment at Caress to microblade these suckers. BEST DECISION EVER. Not only did Julie do an amazing job on my brows, but she is the sweetest!! The procedure itself was very quick - most of the time was spent on deciding the actual shape of my eyebrows (Pro Tip: this is HUGE. It will stay on your face forever. Make sure you're 100% satisfied) She provided very thorough aftercare instructions and made sure I knew what to expect from the healing process based on my skin type. The results came out so well that I've had so many friends ask me where I got my eyebrows done. There's a lot in the back so parking is super easy. Highly recommend Caress for microblading! read more

I met Michelle and her amazing mom, who was one of the first to use permanent make up in Korea, last Saturday to get my eyebrows microbladed. I know literally every review is like this, but I have never met a more deserving business owner than Michelle and her mom!!! They are nothing short of ANGELS and MIRACLE WORKERS. Microblading isn't exactly pleasant-- despite copious amounts of numbing cream, a blade is still slicing your face open and a semi permanent ink coats the indentation to create.. BEAUTIFUL LOOKING FACIAL HAIR. Despite my intolerant, crybaby-esque demeanor during the process, Michelle was a DREAM as she answered all of my questions, and even made me forget I left my apartment without eyebrow make up. During the recovery process, I was SLIGHTLY skeptical still because I did have the whole "irritated scab bush" look on my face in addition to them being chunkier than I would traditionally prefer. As a week has almost passed, they thinned, scabbed up, and reformed.. like an eyebrow caterpillar my facial hair (or lack thereof) BLOSSOMED. It was real life, I woke up and didn't need an hour using a magic marker on my forehead anymore! My confidence grew, my outlook on life brightened, and it's all because of Michelle and her mom!!! DO NOT GET A $250 JOB. THIS IS SEMI PERMANENT AND IF UR SEARCHING FOR MICROBLADING... YOU PROBABLY DONT HAVE THE LUXURY OF CHOOSING A CHEAP ARTIST TO GET IT DONE!!! Thanks Michelle!!!!!!! read more

It's been almost a year, and my eyeliner tattoo is barely noticeable. If you're looking to get an eyeliner tattoo, I would try looking some place else. It's $400 for something that doesn't even last for 2 years. Not worth it. read more

I got my eyebrows done by Julie and I could not be happier with the results! I did a lot of research on Yelp and Instagram about microblading and decided I would make an appointment with Caress since their results were exactly what I was looking for and their price was reasonable. If you want good results, you have to pay the price. My mom got her brows done several times in the past and cared too much the cost and I think her results suffered. Both Julie and Michelle were extremely friendly and talked with me during my appointment. After I showed her a few photos from their Instagram and Yelp, she made her suggestions and penciled an outline of where she would microblade. I was pretty picky and commented on areas I wanted different. After agreeing on the shape, length and width of my future brows, Julie did her thing (of course I had numbing cream, which can make the experience virtually painless). Julie was very good about noticing if the numbing cream was wearing off and made sure I remained comfortable. After about a month to six weeks I came back for my complimentary touch up sesh. I thought my brows already looked pretty good and took the color really well. But I did have a few areas I wanted touched up. Julie noticed exactly where to add more hair strokes and I did want my brows to come a little closer together and wanted them slightly lengthened. She was happy to make the changes although she didn't recommend going in too far to the middle of the face cause it could look unnatural. All in all, I'm happy with my experience and I have several people already interested in making an appointment with Caress Permanent Makeup! read more
