I am so thrilled with my new and improved brows! I absolutely love, love, love them! I'm so happy I found Emily. She did the nano brows procedure for me, and since I don't wear makeup, we opted for no fill. She also gave me a gorgeous laminated brow look. I am so pleased with how everything came together, and I highly recommend her! I ended up getting my lashes done as well, and now I wake up looking like I already have makeup on. read more

Creation Beauty & Academy - Taken my mom to Emily because I am so happy with how my brows turned out, for her Mother's Day special. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Newark, California

I started going to Emily for eyelash extensions. She's super fast and makes it a priority to take care of my real lashes by cleaning my lashes properly and taking the overgrowth off if needed. She is truly an expert in eyelash extensions. What I really want to review is removal of skin tag/ mole/benign growths from face and neck. Although this is not permanent, I decided to do this to have a clearer skin. First, she places numbing cream and then uses a laser pen to remove the growths. The procedure is so fast and Emily talked me through the procedure since I was a little nervous. Overall, I did not feel much pain. The procedure was quick and my face and neck took about a week to heal. I am so happy with the results! I HIGHLY recommend Emily for eyelashes and all your facial needs. read more

I have always been self conscious of my pigmented lips. When I booked my appointment for lip blushing with Emily I didn't expect the results to have such a huge effect on my self esteem. Emily made sure my lips were properly numb before and during the procedure. She kept talking to me to keep me distracted. Surprisingly there was little to no discomfort. My lips were swollen for a day, the swelling kept going down after that. Kept my lips super hydrated like instructed and within the first 3 days my lips had peeled with no discomfort. I love the results even after the first session which is only supposed to cancel out the hyperpigmentation. Emily is extremely attentive and friendly. She made sure to explain the proper after care and then kept checking in with me via text. She is just as excited as me to see the final result after the second appointment. Since my appointment was around Valentine's Day she gave me an adorable chocolate rose with the usual bag filled with essentials for immediate aftercare. I'm glad I did my research and decided to go with Emily. I haven't been wearing anything except aquaphor ever since. I'm super excited for her new fancy nail salon to open. Will be a regular of hers till I'm in Bay Area. read more

What a true lash and beauty master! I first found Emily through Yelp for lash lift. She did an amazing job and was so accommodating with my schedule (I had to reschedule twice during thanksgiving week). Emily not only does an amazing job, she also never tries to upsell you. She lets her work speak for themselves. After becoming a mom, I feel like I've been looking like a shipwreck. I decided to get my lip tint and semi permanent eyeliner done after seeing her results and others. Needless to say, I feel so much better. She did an amazing job and I'm now proud to say "I woke up like this". Give Emily a try, you won't regret it! read more

Emily was so knowledgeable , funny, and sweet! I got the lip blush service. The salon was very aesthetic and cute. I was hesitant to get it done because I didn't have the best results the first time at another salon. At the other salon, I had to do the service 3x within a week and there was no peeling as well as unevenness. Emily assured me that there will be peeling and evenness and she did not lie! We had to neutralize first since my upper lip is alot paler than the bottom lip. I come back to actually apply color next month and I already LOVE LOVE LOVE the results with just the neutralization step! I can't wait until we add color! Thank you Emily ! read more

I highly recommend ! Ive had my lashes done at many other places, and was never happy. They never lasted more than a week, but what can I say about this place?!! Absolutely worth it! I got them done, in December for a trip to Jamaica, I was in and out of the water, and lost minimal , I went back for my two week, catch up and was so impressed with Emily's professionalism, manner and knowledge. Her business is so clean and professional, that I came back and got my eyebrows micro bladed! Absolutely in love with them, she's found herself a client!! read more

I recently had a touch up done to my brows by Emily and I couldn't be more pleased. Even during COVID-19 she managed to offer a space that was as comfortable as home while meeting regulations currently in place. Now, who falls asleep during micro blading? I did! That's just how well she prepped me and how gentle she worked. I feel so lucky to have the best tech in the field. As a black woman it's a challenge finding professionals that are experienced on many skin types. Thank you again for such reliable service. read more

I don't normally write reviews & never a Negative one but I feel I need to share my bad experience with Emily .... I contacted Emily on July 15 , 2024 regarding Eye Brow Tattoo & Eye Lash Extension, during discussion she requested I send pictures of my eye brows which I did & Emily text back the cost would be $150 for Eye Brows ; I made appointment for 2 PM July 18 after agreeing with quote. On July 18 after driving in traffic & looking for parking at 1:50 PM she texted me with a rude & threatening message " If u not coming I'll take in other client .Please confirm with me in 10 mins" . I was walking a couple blocks to her place since there is limited parking & would arrive on time ... I was not even late yet ! She completed her service & charged me $424 at the time I was exhausted & frustrated so I paid her & did not get receipt, she told me I would be getting a discount because I was referred by a friend .I realized after getting home her charge seemed Very high from what I was expecting . I requested a receipt & after reviewing it the Ombré Brow charged was $275 ... $125 More than she quoted & no discount at the time she gave No explanation & feel I was taken advantage of . I even checked her website & it quotes $150 for Ombré Brow . This is not a way to run a business & not professional . I sent her a Email on July 23 & text on July 25 requesting an explanation & have not heard back from her as of July 28 ... Not professional . I will not recommend her service due to her rudeness & dishonesty. read more

I was looking for someone who could do my permanent eyeliner but very cautious at the same time. Many artists claim they can do the job but only a few can make you feel comfortable and give the perfect results. I confirm Emily is by far the best at what she does! She has magic hands = ) My eyeliner is perfect for my droopy eyelids. There's a pop in my eyes now. I look amazing. I recommend Creation Brow & Lash 100% read more

Emily is incredible! I'm so fortunate to have met her! She is very meticulous, precise, talented. She has the best eye for color and always suggests what fits your face best. The first photo is me 5 years ago, when I first met Emily Lee. Followed by photos of me a few days ago, after Emily did her magic again See for yourself! read more

Came to get my lashes done here for the first time and loved it. Emily is super patient and sweet. She kept checking up on me asking if I was doing ok. The end result was natural, beautiful lashes! Will definitely come back, thanks so much for squeezing me in Emily! read more

Emily was so sweet and flexible. I booked an eyelash extension appointment with her and when I wasn't able to make the original booking time, she was able to squeeze me in today despite her fully booked schedule. Throughout the entire process Emily asked me questions and made sure she understand what it was that I wanted and gave recommendations--something I didn't get from my first eyelash tech. My experience overall was wonderful. I'll definitely be back! read more

Emily is an amazing artist!! I'm really glad I went to see her. I went to EZbrows for microblading. I have red hair and very fair skin, so I was worried that the brows would look too dark and unnatural (since I normally don't wear much makeup other than brows). They turned out great!! Emily completely customizes the color of your brows to whatever you want. She really took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted and what would look good on my face. Her studio is very relaxing and there was no rush (which is what you want when getting something longterm done to your face!). The space is comfortable, very clean, well decorated and quiet. I walked there from BART (~10 min walk), but there is also parking right outside the studio. I would highly recommend her. I looked at brow artists all over the bay area, and decided on Emily, both because her before and after pictures looked great, but also because she has online booking, fair prices, and basically no wait time. She is careful to explain the entire process before the procedure, and also give all the detail about how to care for your brows afterwards. Plus, she sent me home with all the stuff to care for them (didn't cost anything extra). She is also really helpful and communicative before and afterwards by text/email/phone. If you are interested in microblading (or her other permanent/semipermanent makeup looks beautiful too), and would like something very tailored to your face, or if you have a particular look you would like to create in mind, I cant imagine a better artist to go to than Emily! The prices are good - commensurate with Emily's high level of skill, yet still very reasonable for microblading in this area. In case you're wondering, microblading doesn't hurt (at least not when Emily does it) - your face is totally numb because she uses a topical anaesthetic. Basically all it is is tiny tiny handmade cuts that are infused with dye and then allowed to heal. It's like a 'surface-level' tattoo (which means it lasts a long time but is not permanent - that made me less nervous to try it!). The cuts are less than a papercut even - more gentle than I thought it was going to be. I was really surprised that this procedure didn't irritate my skin much at all. I actually went out to dinner that night, since my brows didn't have much soreness/inflammation going on at all. This would be an amazing gift for new mothers, or other overwhelmingly busy people, since it lets you go through the day feeling great about how you look and like you've cared for yourself, but it takes zero time to get ready in the morning! read more

Emily is the absolute best when it comes to eyebrow design! I found her through a mutual friend and I was skeptical at first but after my initial consultation with her I was convinced she is the right artist for me. she took the time to explain me the difference between different techniques, what looks natural and what doesn't, and what would ensure the best long-term results. I have been her customer for 3 years now and I never looked back, and my eyebrows never looked better I have also sent my sister and multiple friends to Emily to fix their eyebrows and they thanked me for that! I live in San Francisco and Emily is in Fremont so I - 1 hour each way every time for my appointment dash I would never do that if it wasn't worth it! Emily is a true artist and a very high caliber professional of the services she provides - I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Many thanks and gratitude go to Emily for her passion and permanent makeup skills. My brows were 90's Kate Moss overplucked from underneath and never grew back. Over the years I grew so tired of worrying if my brow pencil or pomade was wearing off swimming or out on a hot day, and so happy I discovered micbroblading/ombré 3D brows. Emily is an expert at her craft, she really loves what she does, and it shows. She takes the time to do facial and brow measurements for symmetry, listens to your input on what you would like, and is detailed with each and every step throughout the process. So happy to have found her and I highly recommend her. read more

Super addicted to Emily and her incredible skills. Been seeing her for a little over a year for lash extensions and she is the best in town! She is very precise, has a steady hand, detail oriented, never cuts corners and knows exactly how to maintain the integrity of my natural lashes by using the correct glue and application. She heard me out and used the lash shape that I preferred as well as the length. They definitely help make my eyes pop. Miss you Emily! read more

Though small, the salon has such a classy ambience - from the white rug and chair to dainty decors. The music playing is not too loud and just enough to put one in a happy and calm mood (it was a jazzy Christmas station). Service: I opted for eyelash extension. Emily is so friendly and very easy to talk to. She listened to (and knew) what I needed even before I said it. I am 9 month pregnant and when I told her that on the phone, she automatically responded that I shouldn't be lying on my back and that she will make arrangements for me. During the session, I had to lie on my left side which made it actually harder for her posture to work on my lashes. But not once I heard her complain or mention that it was a hardship for her. She was more concerned about my comfort - asking me from time to time if I was okay. Despite the awkward positioning on her part, Emily just plowed through... until work is done. How awesome is that? She is very meticulous and she did not mind spending a considerable amount of time with me so long as the work was done the way I wanted it to be. Result: The end product is gorgeous - natural full looking and curly lashes. It has been about four days and still look great as if they were just applied today. It is suppose to last three weeks, so I will update my review then. Conclusion: I highly recommend this gal. She is very professional and you will get your money's worth. read more

After moving to California I stopped getting eyelash extensions because I was afraid of going to someone I didn't know. I finally gave in and went somewhere and had a TERRIBLE experience. The lashes were very stiff and the glue burned my eyes for a few days. I went for many more years without having extensions and once again decided to give it one last try. I did my research and found Emily and I'm so so glad I did. She did a wonderful job. The lashes are very natural looking and soft. Her studio is so cute and relaxing too. I am very picky and I promise you won't be disappointed with Emily's work! I plan to have her do my eyebrows in the future as well. read more

It took me a long time to finally decide to pursue semi-final tattoo art. Overall it's my face. I know each professional artist is skilled, but I need to find someone whom I can completely trust with. And consultation is similar to an interview through which you can get to know the artist and decide whether you can trust her with your face. And after consulting with Emily, I finally decide to go with her because her unique beauty artistry and great judgement which is pretty much spot on. read more

This review is long overdue. I gave 2 stars due to my previous visit. I came in to have my eye liner done by Emily. I kept trying to ask to have the eye liner drawn out larger and longer but she kept insisting that it doesn't look good and kept drawing it really small and barely noticeable. The entire point of having my eye liner drawn out larger is to give the impression that I am wearing makeup, not look exactly how I looked walking into the office. Then she made a silly comment saying if there was anything that needed to be fixed, that it should be my eyebrows. Like, is that supposed to be professional? Keep in mind, this had nothing to do with my appointment. Needless to say, I thought that her comment was rude and I didn't come back afterwards. I found another technician that has the ability to think before they talk. read more

After browsing the Yelp reviews for microblading, i was initially drawn to the very popular establishment down in San Jose. But after looking at the pictures, I have to say I wasn't impressed. So, I looked at shops closer to me and found Ezbrows. While she didn't have as many reviews, I really liked the pictures she had posted...the style of eyebrows were what I was looking for. And I was curious about the "ombre" eyebrows as I had never heard of that before. After my free consultation, I felt good about going with Emily and I ended up getting the ombre eyebrows after she explained the difference between microblading and ombre. On top of that, I got the lash enhancement eyeliner. Yes, having a tattoo machine right on the edge of my eye is not something I would've considered before but after talking to Emily and seeing the results in the pictures, I decided to go for it. To say that I love my eyebrows and eyeliner is an understatement! I can throw away my eyebrow makeup as these are so perfect that all I need to do is just clean up the edges as the hairs grow out. And my eyes look awake and defined with the eyeliner. No more raccoon eyes from smudged eyeliner and oily lids! I wish I had done this sooner. I will keep going to Emily for touchups as long as I can. read more

Before I had my appointment I see all these good reviews, I was amazed by it which is why I chose her. It didn't disappointed me ! I went with my mom, she has no eyebrow at all, and Emily did an excellent job with the "look so real" hair aka microbladding that makes her eyebrow look natural with hair. Emily is also very knowledgeable that she would tell you all the facts about eyebrow tattoo and your skin. I had a bad experience with my first tattoo elsewhere, so it took me a while to decide to do this again. I'm glad it turned out great with Emily and from pain level of 1 to 10, I would say it is 2!! My last tattoo with other studio was like 11 =( I will come back for the cat eyeliner! Also love the sweets in the reception area, it was nice treat when I was waiting for my mom =) read more

I went to see Emily at EZBrows for microblading. I had very thin over-plucked brows that I was self-conscious of & tired of filling in with makeup. I'm not much for makeup or much fuss, but Emily was great & assured me the microblading would look natural & she'd match the brows to my natural hair color & cool skin tone. She took the time to get the shape & coloring just right & I LOVE them!! They look very natural. Emily is a true artist!! Thank you Emily!! read more

After a horrible experience elsewhere I was a little hesitant to try lash extensions again but we were leaving for vacation to Hawaii for 2.5 weeks and I really didn't want to deal with makeup so I gave Emily a try. She was so accommodating, professional and her work is amazing! First off she came in on her day off which I REALLY appreciated. Her office is clean, calm and welcoming. She really listens and offered advice on what would look great on my hooded eyes. She uses top products. My lashes came out so soft & beautiful. They still looked amazing after snorkeling & swimming in the ocean for 2.5 weeks!! I had only intended to get my lashes done for vacation but since I got back I am thinking I want to keep them! If you are thinking of getting lash extensions I highly recommend Emily. She's the best & you will not regret it!! read more

I contacted Emily about an eyelash appiintment. She told me to book online and that 1 pm was available. I went to the site and booked it but the payment portion wouldnt load. I sent her a text explaining that and she said it should be ok. I then texted "SEE YOU AT 1"". I show up today and she says I have no appointment and she even had our conversation on her phone. REALLY! Said she didnt see the last text. What a way to run a business. Im an ER nurse and I work long hours. My time is valuable! read more

Emily was fantastic! She has so much knowledge and passion in what she does and it shows after you meet her. I have never felt so confident, comfortable and overall absolute trust in her. I mean its my face so thats something thats hard to be able to do for me and im sure others as well, so it was a relief to be in the hands of a person who lives and breathes this and have been blown away on how much she has educated me about so many things i appreciate how she showed me she cares about me. Rare hidden gem Beautiful, comfortable and clean suite inside a quiet, secured building and it wasn't hard to find off the elevator. Oh and i met her after making a same day appointment online for removal and new set of lashes. I got the volume set and her technique is the right way where she actually picks up each of he three little hairs and in between them is your lash.. i didn't even know this was a thing but it makes sense that its the right way to be done making it distribute the weight overall evenly and this would make them stay on longer and best .. i now get it and glad i do since theres so many hoopty ways I've heard and have seen others do it and once again made her creative work look and feel so good because everything quality. This girl is at the too of her game and am so glad to find her. Highly recommend emily's wonderful work to everyone. Easy to see shes the best just look at some of her work even in her pictures! Just amazing! Also i recommend to buy the $18 take home eyelash care kit she has! Game changer! read more

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO DO THIS?! I am SO happy with my eyebrows. Emily's work exceeded my expectations. I am kicking myself for not having done this years ago. What was most impressive was the time and effort that Emily took to carefully measure and draw my brows in. We discussed, at length, what I liked/disliked, wanted/did not want, and from there, she provided, in my opinion, the perfect brows for me. The result was amazing. Emily is very professional and takes enormous care and pride in her work. Here's to never having to draw my eyebrows in ever again!! 100% satisfied read more

The Best Yesterday, I had my ombre powdered brows touched up after 9 months. Emily took as much care as when she did the original procedure. I completely trust her both from a technical standpoint but also from the aesthetic. I trust her judgment and know that she considers my face, my skin and my age (72) and that when I walk out I will look fresher and better and not ridiculous . The bonus is that Emily is a delight to spend time with. Book with Emily - she's the best! Shelly Warden Apr 24, 2019 read more

Unbelievable! I am one who don't bother writing reviews but I had to this time because of the outstanding experience I had with Emily. I hate needles and am a scaredy-cat but Emily made me feel at ease and her hands are so light that I almost did not feel anything at all. I thought this experience is one I'll regret doing but I was mistaken. I surely picked the right person to do my eyebrows and believe me I have done a lot of research. Emily is the BEST! I cannot wait to see her again for my touch up. Susan W read more
