Took my mom to Gem Beauti to get her eyebrows done. It was the very first time she got them done and Quynh was so attentive! She had a consult with my mom and she was so attentive and listened to all of my mom's questions and worries and assured her that it will turn out well. Kaylee was the one who ultimately did my mom's eyebrows, buy Quynh was still so attentive to be there to support during the whole process. My mom loved her eyebrows and received so many compliments especially because they looked so natural on her. Thank you Gem Beauti for taking such great care of my mom! read more

Quynh and Kaylee gave me the best experience at Gem Beauti. I took my microblading course by Quynh. Quynh was very dedicated to her training, she made her lessons fun and easy to understand. I also got my ombre powder brows done by Kaylee and I'm in love with my brows. She made sure to get the shape that I wanted, and the process was painless. Quynh's studio is the right place for my education and to get myself looking pretty!!! read more

So happy and impressed with my brows!! Never thought I would get anything "permanent" on my face, but I am so glad I did! I go everywhere no makeup now and it's so great!!! Kaylee did my nanoblading and she was so sweet and very thorough making sure that I loved the shape. My brows look VERY natural and fluffy and hair-like, which is what I wanted! I've gotten many compliments from friends, family, coworkers and I will recommend them here :) Overall, Kaylee and Quynh were so sweet and made sure I was super comfortable throughout the whole process. Thank you so much! read more

I've wanted to get my brows done for the longest time but struggled to find an artist I was 100% confident in until I saw Quynh. She is so sweet, patient and talented. She knows exactly what she is doing and gives very clear instructions on the aftercare. I'm obsessed with the shape and color of my brows and can't wait until they're fully healed! read more

From the moment we first connected, Quynh has been a warm person that addressed all my concerns and made me feel comfortable coming in to get my blush lips done. Though I've gotten other semi-permanent makeup, I was still nervous but after consulting with Quynh I was ready to do it. The blush lipprocedure went smoothly, albeit a bit painful at times, but Quynh was patient throughout it all. She provided detailed after care instructions and texted me periodically to check in on the recovery and make sure I was okay. She truly cares about her craft and her service throughout the experience is commendable. I enjoy the saved time getting ready in the morning and I'm sure you will too! I definitely recommend Quynh for all your beauty needs! Thanks Q! read more

Update: 2 1/2 years later got them touched up. I am so glad I went to Quynh. It'll be 3 year in may since I did the procedure and wake up confident without needing to fill in/pencil my brows. Best feeling ever. If you are looking for someone for microblading/shading look no further. Quynh is amazing! Very professional and always available to answer any questions. The process took about 4 hours overall but I could not be any happier. I had over plugged brows and always filled them in to get a fuller look. Ever since I had microshading done by Q I cannot tell you how much more confident I feel and not to mention the time I have saved tim by no longer having to fill them in. read more

DO NOT get anything done by this owner if you won her giveaway or if she's offering to do it for free. STAY AWAY FROM HERE. ITS A NIGHTMARE. I won her giveaway and needed to get my lips touched up because after a while they start to fade unevenly and you get lighter shades of pink spots on your lips. She said she would do it free of charge because I got her services through winning her giveaway contest. I drove 45 minutes to her (Pasadena to Garden Grove) just for her to tell me that she is on her way to LA. I reached out to her a total of 3x within a week to try and get rescheduled and then I finally got a response on the 3rd try. I showed her DM to my friends, family and even my coworkers and they all said she was extremely unprofessional and passive aggressive and I shouldn't go back to her. I lost my phone the night before my appt and I was extremely distressed the next morning so I told her I couldn't make my appt and she said they don't accept cancellations and I immediately asked her for the directions and started heading towards her but by then she was already heading to LA to "go do more important things". I arrived to my appointment on time and she was no where to be found. This woman is the most unprofessional owner I have ever met and the way she responds to her customers is not ok. I was very nice to her and she was extremely Rude and passive aggressive. She only has good reviews because she pesters her clients via text message to write her good reviews after getting anything done by her. She will literally remind you a total of 10x to write her a good review, that includes google. read more

I went to Gem Beauty for nano blading on my eyebrows and had a great experience. The studio was big and clean. Quynh is a great brow artist and spent a lot of time mapping out my brows and making sure the shape suited my face. The tattoo process went smooth and I was very happy with my results! read more

I am so happy I found Quynh as my instructor! I enrolled in her 1 on 1 Microblading class and couldn't be anymore happier. She taught me the fundamentals of microblading step by step and was very patient with me. With thorough instructions from Quynh I couldn't be any happier with my time spent with her learning the technique's of each strokes. I highly recommend anyone who is seeking for a skillful instructor to pursue their career in the PMU industry to reach out to Quynh! You will not be disappointed! read more

Let me start by saying Quynh is such a Gem! I had my eyebrows tattooed by another artist and was not happy with my results. The other artist didn't listen to what I want and gave me uneven brows that are different shapes!! I pointed out the difference and she couldn't see it. I should have walked out at that point. She's a very well known artist too. I'm so happy I found Quynh. She noticed right away the different shapes before I said a thing. I really didn't have to say much, she just knew what to do and she's so sweet. I love my brows now! Thank you for fixing my brows, Quynh! I highly recommend Gem Beauti. I'll be coming back for my lip blush soon! read more

I took a private lip blush training class with Quynh and it was so informative and amazing! Her class covers everything, from how to achieving a natural lip blush effect, bold/lipstick look, or neutralizing dark lips! Her color theory is so details and easy to understand. She also talks about marketing and how to gain clientele when you first started which is amazing! Quynh is very sweet, talented and really caring! She answered all my questions, helped me understand the techniques better, and push me to practice even after class is done making me feel so comfortable taking on clients. I will come back to take her Microshading. read more

My entire experience with Q has been fantastic! She is talented, sweet, understanding, and patient. I had a total of about 5 eyebrow hairs and was badly needing help. I ended up ultimately going with the ombre brow style and I'm extremely happy with my results. Having my brows look perfect when I wake up saves me an incredible amount of time and frustration every single day, and to me, that is worth every penny. Q was also very responsive and helpful everytime I had questions after our appointments. Thank you, Q!! read more

I had an amazing experience getting the ombré powder brow procedure done with Quynh! You can tell she puts great effort and care into her work because she maps out and draws the brows meticulously and makes sure that you get the shape and shade you love. She numbs the brow area after the outlining and re applies the numbing cream and checks to make sure you're comfortable and pain-free. She was so kind and gentle throughout the entire process that I so relaxed I almost fell asleep! The healing process was just how she described and Quynh checks in with you throughout it to make sure it's healing correctly. I could not be more happier with my brows now! I now have the perfect brows for years to come and only wished that I had done this sooner read more

Gem Beauti - After my first appointment. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove , California

I stumbled upon Gem Beauti through instagram. At first I was so wary to try things out advertised on instagram just because of previous bad experiences so I thought I would call Qyunh and speak to her and ask some questions. She was extremely gracious as I consulted with her on the phone. She was amazing, very meticulous and patient during my session. It was my first time trying out lip blushing and I was somewhat nervous but I could tell while she worked on me I was in capable hands. I am very please with the my results after my first session, and I look forward to my touch up. Highly recommend! read more

Quynh is so sweet and made me feel welcome as soon as I came into her salon. She has 6 years of experience and had an amazing portfolio of her work online.

Gem Beauti - Freshly done combo brows - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove , California

I paid a lot of money to get my brows done. Not only the resulting brows were "MEH," I was insulted, lied to, and in pain because microblading actually hurts, A LOT! Unless cheap numbing cream was used on me.  I'd give 0 star if I could. From personal experience, I recommend you spend your hard earned $ elsewhere! Don't be tricked by fake reviews and Photoshop pictures. Here's the story. Gem Beauty has all 5 stars reviews and it's one of the most expensive places here in Orange County. I thought she must be really good to charge so much...I also was told no touch-up up is required.  So I took a plunge and made the $100 deposit.  Figured nothing can go wrong, right? Wrong! The day of the appointment,  Quynh was 40 min late! She didn't know which service I paid for and tried to rush me out without completing the Microshading service, which is what I paid for. So before we started, I told her everything I wanted for my brows and that one brow is a little lower. Which I needed her to pay more attention to that brow so both my brows would be symmetrical. Quynh said not to worry to all my concerns.  The result? My brows were underwhelmed. They were thin without shape to give my face a lifted look. They were not symmetrical, which was one of my biggest concerns. Some spots have missing colors and missing hair strokes.  I  was extremely unimpressed with the result. It was an absolutely "MEH" job. I was thinking to myself that I didn't pay $520 to get "MEH" brows!  So I asked Quynh to fix some areas, but she insisted that I come back for a touch-up and then she will fix whatever I need. The day of the touch-up,  NO ONE was at the office! I called and texted, but no one answered. About 2 hrs later, Quynh replied  saying she didn't have me on her schedule. Later, she said it must've been "a system malfunction" and that she would "allow" me to pick a day that works for me! I was very upset since I had to plan my day around the touch-up appointment, which didn't take place. Long story short,  I showed up to the rescheduled touch-up appointment,  Quynh didn't even come out to greet me.  She didn't even apologize for missing the original touch-up appointment.  She was not polite like she was during my 1st visit. Her attitude and way of speaking were curt the entire time.  I told her that one of the brows that she did is a little lower, and it's making my face a bit droopy. She smirked and replied curtly, "Then get botox."  She then told me that she doesn't do any  erasing service to any hairstrokes or color that's done by her.  I was sure she told me that she would fix everything when I come back for my touch-up session. So I left without getting any more work done by her. Needless to say, I was stumped by how people like her can open a business to lie and cheat people of their money! I hope my unfortunate experiences and true review of Gem Beauti and of Quynh Ly will help you to see that you should spend your hard eared money somewhere else. And not to be tricked by fake reviews. I attached picture of my brows done by Quynh, and you will see one side of my brow is still lower than the other side and all the missing spots. read more

Where do I even begin?! Quynh is the sweetest, most talented girl. This was my first time getting my brows done anywhere so I went in a little nervous but, I could tell from the moment she started mapping out my brows that she was confident in her work and knew what she was doing. She gave so much attention to the little details throughout the whole process even until the end, making sure the finished look would be perfect. Also, THE SHAPE. She literally got the shape down to a T. It suits my face so well and looks exactly like the reference picture I showed her. I am so so so happy with the results and couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait for how they'll look when they're completely healed! Thank you so much Quynh!!! read more

I am so beyond happy I found Quynh! I was very nervous to get my eyebrows microbladed, but I am so pleased I trusted her because her work is exceptional. I've never done anything like microblading and it sounded daunting. However, Quynh took great care of me and the procedure was absolutely painless. She numbed me and throughout the procedure she kept asking if I was ok. She was very gentle. I could tell she was a perfectionist (which made me feel comfortable given that she was working on my face). She mapped out my brows very thoroughly and quadruple checked them in numerous angles. She listened to exactly what I wanted, which was fluffy and thick. She achieved just that! I couldn't be happier with the results. She gave me aftercare instructions and materials and has checked in with me the days after. I can tell she really cares about her work. If you're thinking about seeing her for any procedures, do it!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

So happy I finally got my eyebrows micro bladed after three years of wanting to do so! I got them done April 26 so it's been close to three months since and I am in love! The first ten days yes I hated them because they were so thick and dark (which she did warn me about) but once the healing was done - which went smooth - they were the most beautiful brows ever. I'm so happy I went with Gem Beauti wouldn't have gone with anyone else! I will probably go for a retouch in a few months, for now I am so so happy! (Picture on my Yelp is before the micro blading) read more

So happy with my new brows! I had my nano brows done my Kaylee and they look amazing! After my initial appointment, my brows are fuller and they look natural. Then I came back 5 weeks later for my touch up and Kaylee did a great job making everything more even and symmetrical. She also added more hair strokes which made them look thicker and fluffier. I'm getting so many compliments! It's only been 1 weeks since my touch up and the scabs are peeling off. I'm super excited once everything is fully healed! Highly recommend Gem Beauti for brows! read more

Quynh is the best!!! i always wanted fuller looking lips without having a needle stuck in lips. luckily hyaluron acid lip filler does provides all of that.
