I over plucked my eyebrows in the late 90s and they've also lost their colour as I've aged so I've…read morebeen meaning to get my brows done for years (But couldn't because I was pregnant and then breastfeeding for four years). I somehow found Claudia via Instagram and as soon as I was done with breastfeeding, I made an appointment. The initial appointment I had was at her Alameda office. It was not painful, and she really was very particular about the shape in order to not underdo it or overdo it. Mine healed quickly without any issues and then for my second appointment, I went to her new office in Pacifica. We made the brows a bit thicker and they are now the perfect size and shape. I can't tell you how amazing it is to wake up in the morning and not having to try to draw two matching brows (I was not ever very good at doing that so probably most of the time I was walking around with brows that were not a match ). Thank you so much Claudia!

I'm a total newbie to permanent makeup, but wanted my eyebrows done after getting a job where I'd…read morehave to commute an hour every day. I was only familiar with microblading through a relative, but wanted powder brows instead since it would be more natural looking for me. (I'd also read that powder brows would last longer on oily skin than microblading.) I found Claudia and loved seeing the results her clients had. I messaged her through her Facebook page, asking if I would be a suitable candidate along with specific questions about aftercare, and she was super responsive and friendly! My positive impression continued with the confirmation email after booking an appointment. I'm the kind of person who LOVES reading ALL the information so I can feel prepared and knowledgeable. The amount of detail that Claudia has about pre-care and after-care in her appointment emails fulfilled that need for me 100%. I could tell that this is a person just as detail-oriented as me! At my first appointment, it was clear that Claudia is an authentic artist committed to your brows. She took her time drawing them in, even accommodating some feedback. It felt like we were a team getting me beautiful brows. As mentioned, I'd never had permanent makeup or a tattoo done, so I wasn't sure how painful it would be. (My relative had reported that microblading was super painful and was procrastinating on touchups for this reason, so I was a little nervous!) The powder brow procedure felt like deep scratches, and my eyebrows were sore at the end of the appointments even with the anesthetic gel, but it was totally manageable. Claudia included an aftercare kit with a cleanser and oil treatment, with clear instructions about how to treat my brows as they healed - no continuous stream of water flowing over them, no scratching! It took less than a week to heal, only itching occasionally after the first appointment. Putting pressure on my eyebrow with a nail soothed the itch just fine. It didn't itch at all (and barely peeled) after the touchup. The in-progress photo is the worst the peeling ever got. All very unlike my relative's intensely itchy and dramatically peel-y healing experience (like you could see it from afar) with microblading! I was also able to text Claudia with any questions during the healing process, and she gave me confidence to trust the process. The eyebrows took me a little getting used to after the first appointment, since they were so dark compared to my non-existent natural brows. But I LOVE the final results! It makes me so happy to look in a mirror and see such beautiful brows. It's saved me so much time in the mornings, not having to rush drawing in my brows (likely badly). Claudia was a joy to work with before, during, and after the appointments, and I will be recommending her to anyone local who wants their eyebrows done! (Including my microbladed relative, haha.)

Brow & Line is hands down the best place to go for microblading! Xen did an amazing job making me…read morefeel comfortable, talking to me about what I wanted, measuring and drawing everything to perfection, and then taking the time to talk me through the process so that I knew what was happening and when. She has a very precise and gentle hand - which made the whole thing much easier. It was my first time getting microbladed, so I didn't know what to expect for pain. Xen used a topical to numb the eyebrow area, which helps a lot. She also tells you what she's doing next, which helps so you feel good and aware throughout the process. Healing was much easier than I thought it would be. It took a week of putting on the A&D cream (Xen gave me all the instructions) and it was easy to do. I healed beautifully and could not be happier! It's amazing because I still look like me (which is what I wanted) - but with amazing brows that make my eyes pop! I LOVE them! I wanted them to have a polished, more pronounced look - but not look huge. Xen had different options and really listened to what I wanted. We found the right shape for my face (based on what I wanted) and she took it from there! My mom loved them so much that she got them done too! My dad gave her microblading from Brow & Line as a birthday gift - well done dad! Her brows were sparse and she had to pencil them in everyday. Now she has gorgeous brows from the moment she wakes up each morning! She is so happy! Xen is a total gem! She is so talented, kind, a great listener (she wants to know what YOU want) and a joy to be around! If you're in the Bay Area - do not hesitate to meet with Xen and get your microblading done at Brow & Line! I could not be happier about my experience and the way my brows turned out! I hope this helps!!! :)

I believe that having defined brows really amps up your look and you don't have to fuss around at all with them when you're getting ready. Thank you Xen, for providing top notch service and giving me beautiful brows!

She's professional and very detailed oriented. She made me feel comfortable which made it easier for me to trust her. So after all of these years of procrastination I finally got them done. And I absolutely love them. It's only been three days and I'm still excited. Everyone keeps telling me how good they look (the people that I was excited to tell).
