This review took so long because: I got microblading AND microshading during my touch up! The first thing people ask me about is: Pain: on a scale of 1-10, the pain is relatively low (3-4) especially because Michelle applies numbing cream after she breaks the skin. I even fell asleep during my sessions because it was numb and easy! When breaking the skin the first time, it feels like Michelle is just tweezing multiple hairs at once (which she isn't haha). Process: Michelle maps out your eyebrows to save the integrity of your natural shape, she'll work with you, map your eyebrows to your suggestions, and won't start until you're satisfied with what she's sketched out. I loved that she listened to what I wanted and what I wanted touched up! The initial appointment is about 2-3 hours, the touch up (based on how much you need done, was about 2 hours for me) Microblading: this definitely gave me a VERY nice natural brow shape. I didn't have to fill anything in after it healed. I only did when I felt like I wanted to put on a whole ABG face on. I got this because I'm traveling to Asia and won't be bringing much makeup, this definitely keeps my brows looking nice and full. Microshading: i got MS on the tail ends of my eyebrows, because I have very scarce tails to begin with! Once they've healed, I have a nice penciled in and full tail look. I don't put anything on them anymore! During my touch up, I wanted some areas that the ink didn't stay well at and as well as more length in the middle. She shaded from tail to blend in towards the middle and gave me exactly what I wanted! If you listen to Michelle's aftercare and take care of them for the next couple of days, they will stay and look amazing. Service: Michelle is super sweet, educative and informative. She'll create the best shape for you and take your input. She won't start until you give her the okay. Her suite is so cute and super clean also! I've posted BEFORE, AFTER MV, and AFTER MS! read more

I have gotten my brows done by Ria a few months ago and let me say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER WORK. I have always wanted to try micro blading but have heard terror stories of scarring or discoloration after a few years. I lived the look of it, but was unsure if I really wanted to commit to having my brows permanently tatted onto my face. When working with Ria, she was super helpful and knowledgeable about the different techniques. At the time, Ria was taking in clients for "ombré brows". After hearing her explain the technique and viewing her work on her instagram page, I decided to take a leap and have Ria do ombre brows for me. My experience was virtually painless; they put numbing creme prior to the tattooing so you don't really feel anything. To be honest, I fell asleep during my initial appointment and my touch up! Ria worked with me on the shape I wanted my brows to be as well as the color. I feared my brows would be too dark for my liking but they came out perfect! During my touch up, I wanted to adjust my brow shape just a bit and Ria executed that very well! I would definitely recommend her to those who are looking into ombre brows and are unsure of getting them. I recommended her to both of my managers and they love her work! She is someone I can trust with my brows and I would definitely come back for touch ups! read more

After thinking about getting my brows microbladed for years, I did lots of homework (read: obsessing and stressing) trying to find the right place for me and found Evoluxe! I loved their work online and had extra confidence knowing they also train other microbladers. Michelle is so friendly, knowledgeable, and patient when I confessed my nervousness and fear of commitment (despite my several tattoos and long-term marriage, ha). I wasn't exactly sure which brows to get, and Michelle guided me through the options: based on my features, coloring, existing brow hairs, and makeup preferences, we went with a soft ombré powder brow and not only did she suggest it as the better option, she even said it would save me some money! She also was super responsive and exact when I asked for a tiny adjustment to the mapping (just lengthening the tails a touch); she really listened and got it perfect. She was so easy to talk to and the appointment flew by. Now that I'm pretty much healed--trust the process!--there are just a few patchy spots here and there and they're a bit light as is expected, but I'm loving not having to draw in my brows every morning and can't wait for my follow-up/touch-up for more perfection! I'm so glad I found Michelle and feel relieved and grateful that I trusted the right person with my face. Yay! read more

My brow story is a long one, so to make it short, I've had multiple saline removals and a few laser removals due to an 8yr old eyebrow tattoo, which was black and truly permanent. Ladies please do yourself and your skin a favor and NEVER do saline removal. It left me with scar tissue on my brows. There are plenty of laser tattoo removal places in Bellevue. After 2 laser tattoo removal sessions, which made a huge difference, I got busy with life, and simply decided to give my brows a break for a few years. With that being said I was always cautious about spacing out any brow removal session by 3 months as it is very harsh on your skin. 2 years later, I learned about "Microshading", and how in some cases it can actually cover old tattoos. So, I decided to take a chance, and do some research. I chose Michelle at Evoluxe Studio due to her education, hard work, awards, an artists touch, reviews, and prices, and I am so glad I did. She may be young, but she is professional, passionate about what she does, and very sweet. Throughout the entire "Microshading" procedure, Michelle was constantly asking how I was doing and reapplying numbing cream frequently, which was AMAZING. I experienced no pain, and cannot wait to see the final results. I will keep you posted. read more

Let me tell you how grateful I am to have come across Michelle's business! I flew from San Diego to Seattle to get my eyebrows done by her. That in itself should tell you EVERYTHING. I looked high and low for an artist in San Diego and no ones work even came close when comparing quality vs the price. I sent about six different artists to my close friends (without disclosing where they were located) and made them vote. All of them picked Michelle's work! That's how I knew I HAD to go to Seattle to get them done. Michelle was so easy to talk to and accommodating. Felt like I had known her for years! She answered all of my questions and walked me through choosing a shape, color, the process, and the after care. My eyebrows look amazing and I've received so many compliments, thank you Michelle! I'm flying back for my touch up this weekend and will follow up with pictures. Soooo worth the money, my eyebrows have seriously never looked better. If you're considering getting your eyebrows micro-bladed, Book her ASAP! read more

I went to see Michelle based on a friend's recommendation. It's not an easy decision to trust someone sight-unseen with your eyebrows! I didn't want to end up with something overdone and freakish. Michelle is a great listener, she looked at photos I'd brought in, she "gets it." She knew exactly the right thing for my face, my brows. She and her assistant are very attentive and caring all the way through. They use a topical anesthesia to numb the skin. I honestly did not feel any discomfort before, during, or after. I walked out looking amazing! Followed all the after-treatment precautions, went back for the follow-up - and WOW! What a difference. Michelle is a true artist, she really knows what she's doing. She's meticulous! Her studio is full of light, spotless, very comfortable. Of course, all covid precautions are observed. The studio's on a busy street, but I've never had any problem parking close to the entrance. I would definitely go again - I look forward to going back for a touch-up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I used to always do my brows in high school until one day I just got tired of it but I still felt very insecure having light color brows for someone who has naturally dark hair. I decided to search up anyone in Washington location who does amazing microblading work on instagram and I come across Michelle's page. She's absolutely the best and was the sweetest person to me while making me feel so comfortable. I went with combination brows since I do have dry & oily skin and her work is fantastic!! I feel so confident even though I'm in the process of walking around with bold brows right now but it does fade during the healing stage. The pain level was 1.5/10, the numbing cream she used on my brows really did help. I definitely recommend Michelle and she doesn't just do brows too!! Her pricing is pretty affordable for someone who does an amazing job on brows compared to other artists who'll charge more than what she does. Definitely an amazing experience! read more

I was 15 years old when a friend over plucked my eyebrows and they never grew back. I'm now 42 and waited a very long time to pull the trigger on getting powder ombré brows. After searching for some time and mustering up the courage to let someone touch my brows again, I found Michelle. I was very nervous but she made me feel very comfortable, explained every part of the process, has a gentle touch and helped me in a way I never thought anyone could. When I looked in the mirror after the procedure, it brought me to tears. For the first time i have eyebrows that aren't over plucked and I don't have to draw on. It feels so good to feel confident about my face again and I have gotten nothing but compliments on my brows. I would 100 percent recommend Michelle, her work is phenomenal and she truly listens and delivers! Thank you so much Michelle for giving me my face back! read more

I had my ombré brows done by Michelle and I have to say I am very impressed with her friendly honest service. I don't have any tattoos or have had any services done before so I was very nervous. She put me at ease by informing me of the process, texted me to help answer any concerns and questions I had prior to my appointment. When I arrived, she greeted me with a smile, asked how my day was and explained the process. Educated me on what tools will be used, (ink product) and provided the care instructions. A couple weeks after, she would text me to see if had any questions and made sure my healing process was and offer assistance. Importantly she made me feel important and I am very pleased with the result! Thank YOu Michelle! read more

I got my brows microbladed and shaded with Michelle. SOOOO WORTH IT! I have tattoos and this was virtually painless compared to my inner arm and ankle tattoos. She explains everything and makes the process easy and straightforward. She was able to ease my doubts through the whole process. I was having doubts during the brow mapping phase but once I saw the final results, I couldn't believe it. I have 90s thin eyebrows and now I have brows that will actually be recognizable in photos. They look so natural especially with my softer features. Michelle's knowledge and expertise is apparent in the pride she takes in her work and how she teaches young and coming artists. I could not be happier with the results :) read more

I got my brows done June 9th. So they are officially healed now. I am beyond thrilled with my results!! I LOVE the shape. I'm blonde and I was scared at first that they were too dark but I trusted the process and they lightened into my exact natural hair color. They truly turned out great. I got my eyebrows microshaded. I'm usually a pretty picky person and I was nervous, but Michelle exceeded my expectations. She asked for approval for everything and was very thorough. Overall, I loved my experience and results. The studio itself is very clean and very adorable. I can't wait for my touch up appointment to get my final results. Recommend Arched and Inked for your eyebrow needs! read more

I'm so happy I chose this studio. I went in for my first powder ombré brow appointment in late November, and Michelle made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning. We worked together to form the perfect brow shape and color that fit my face and style (which was amazing since my natural brows are not symmetrical). She gave me advice based on her years of experience which I was very thankful for. The studio is clean and comfortable as well. The healing process was not nearly as unpleasant as I expected, I think because of the quality of her technique as well as the healing serum she provided. I have my touch-up tomorrow and can't wait to see the final result! read more

Makeup is not my thing, but I was looking to have my eyebrows with a perfect shape. Not having to draw them anymore. This is the second time that I opted for permanent makeup. Lucky me that I found Michelle, when I saw her work I knew immediately that she would do a good job on my eyebrows. The studio is very nice, very clean. I almost fell asleep during my visit, I think is the music . Everything's great. Michelle is so nice, very professional, patient. She helps you a lot to choose the best form and procedure that lasts the best for your skin type. The best choice you can make is Evoluxe Studio. Thank you Michelle for your excellent work read more

Michelle did such an amazing job on not just my brows but my overall experience! Having previous work done before, I was nervous about doing another semi-permanent procedure but I had been following Michelle's business instagram and felt confident in her skill and experience. It was recommended that I do the powder brows due to an oily skin type and they turned out beautifully! Michelle was very attentive, thorough, and had great attention to detail with the overall brow shape and color. The only mistake was not getting it done sooner! Her studio was very inviting, while the environment setting was so chill and calming. read more

It took me two years to finally take the leap to get my brows done. I talked to a lot of artists around the area and found Michelle to be the most professional, prompt, and overall showed the compassion to what she does. I drove an hour out to see her and she did not disappoint. Upon arrival, Michelle went over what was going to happen, she also frequently asked how I was doing during the procedure, asking if I was in pain. I had no pain at all. Michelle also sent me home with a home care kit. About a week after, Michelle also reached out asking how my eyebrows were healing. Thanks Michelle :) read more

I had my eyebrows done with Michell, she did a wonderful job. It was my first time getting my eyebrows done. The thought of tattoo eyebrows terrified me (I'm 30 years old). I followed her for two years, and I just fell in love with her work. I was not going to trust anyone else. I gave Michelle a really hard time, she was super sweet and handled my emotions well. She shaped and reshaped them till the point I loved them and couldn't wait to get started. I love my eyebrows, I get so much compliments. Im glad I conquered my fears and got them done. I wish I've done them sooner! read more

A few months ago I found Evoluxe through a random TikTok video and feel like I won the jackpot! Ive been looking into microblading my eyebrows for awhile and have never pulled the trigger because I've never been impressed with peoples work. I looked through Evoluxes instagram and could not find a single eyebrow I didnt love. She is hands down amazing at what she does! Fun relaxing professional enviroment, you feel like you're just hanging out with friends while getting top notch treatment! Thank you for giving me eyebrows I love. read more

I just had my eyebrows done by Michelle. I have to say it was a painless experience and I am beyond happy with how they turned out! I previously had my eyebrows microbladed 4 yrs ago and my girlfriend saw Michelle about 2 yrs ago. She kept telling me I needed to see her. She was totally right wish I would have come sooner! Michelle was very precise, explained everything well, and had great customer service. If you are thinking of having your brows done... Don't wait! Just bite the bullet and do it. You won't be disappointed! read more

Michelle is super professional and amazing at what she does. My girl friend came in for a free consultation and Michelle had dedicated 30 minutes to informing of what the procedure will consist of and answering any questions that we had. Her studio is nicely organized and everything was clean, she showed us the disposable tools and made sure we were informed of everything. The brows she does look amazing! And she doesn't shading as well, would recommend her to everyone in Bellingham who wants to get their brows done. read more
