I'm back with another review because this place continues to deliver. I had lip blushing done this…read moreyear with Vivian, and previously I've had eyeliner and brows done here as well, all with different artists. Every experience has been consistently excellent. Vivian was incredibly clear and upfront about the lip blushing process, including the fact that it can be more intense than eyeliner or brows. For me, that was true, though I know it varies by person. My first pass healed lighter than I wanted, and at my follow-up Vivian really listened. She made sure I was thoroughly numbed and adjusted the color to a richer shade that I love. She also explained that some lips simply don't retain pigment as easily, which was reassuring and helpful to understand. Healing was easy, and I'm excited to see how the color continues to settle over the next few weeks. What really stands out to me about this studio is how kind, attentive, and thoughtful all of the artists are. One consistent approach I've noticed is that they intentionally go lighter at first, which makes total sense. You can always deepen the color at the follow-up, and it avoids ending up with something too intense. Overall, another great experience and I couldn't be happier with the care and results.

I had my nipples tattooed to help cover scars from my breast augmentation and to match the…read morepigmentation. Now, nearly four months later, I'm feeling quite disappointed with how it turned out. The tattoo looks a bit rushed, and the color doesn't quite match. At my appointment, I was told that most clients are happy after just two sessions, usually needing only needing a touch-up during the second session. However, when I reached out about my concerns, I was informed that I might need up to three sessions. I've seen $400 tattoos that look stunning, but my simple circle around the nipple unfortunately looks uneven and lacks a polished finish. I even mentioned some unevenness during the appointment, and the artist reassured me it was just swelling. Once that went down, it became clear that the unevenness remained. Given the amount I paid and what I was told beforehand, I expected to receive a decently done tattoo with maybe just a little adjustment needed. Instead, I feel like I got a result that falls short, and now I'm uncertain about how many more sessions it might take to get it right.

Excrutiating, like he was taking a sledgehammer to my eyes. Note: the eye is the most sensitive are of the face. There's no extra skin or fat protecting it. He never once asked, 'How are you? How are you feeling?' I vomited on the street after leaving. My eyes oozed green pus on and off for four days and couldn't work as my vision was impaired. Since then, my impression from speaking to other permanent make up practices is that perhaps he does not do this procedure very often. Sure, better numbing agent probably would've helped. But green pus out of both eyes? Had to see an opthalmologist, so this procedure got more expensive. Would've been better off seeing someone who cost more but had more experience. He operated out of beauty salon off of Macadam. He has an OHSU logo on his website and after I checked with the department of Dermatology at OHSU, he has no affiliation with them.

Today was my initial session, and I'm confident when I'm back in 6 weeks for the "touch up" it will be another great experience. In terms of what I had done, it was scar camouflage on my forehead. Shonna was amazing. She took the time to explain the layering methods she employs and spent a good while shade-blending three dyes very carefully to match my skin tone. By the time she finished I had a clear understanding of the stages of healing, and what to expect in the next few weeks. She clearly is very, very good at what she does, and she's improving lives.

This was one of the best decisions I've made for my skincare routine. The level of care, attention, and professionalism was outstanding. The products felt high-quality and gentle, yet incredibly effective. I had zero irritation, no acne, and no burning afterward, which is rare for me. Instead, I saw an immediate glow right after the session. My skin looked refreshed, hydrated, and healthy. You can tell Yekta truly care about skin health and not just quick results. As someone who takes skincare seriously, I felt completely confident and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend to anyone especially if you have sensitive skin and want real results without any damage. I'll definitely be coming back!

But the most important thing is Rhonda knows what she's doing! I had my brows and top eyeliner done. I don't know how she does it, but it was nearly painless. (I'm not gonna lie, the initial pass before the anesthetic kicks in can sting a bit, but even that was more tolerable than I've ever experienced.) And I LOVE the results!!

I was going to travel back home to Chicago to get them done where my mom and sister had went when I was informed that JEIN was their artist's trainer. So, of course I decided to get them done by the teacher herself. Jein was very patient and accommodating while sketching out the outline of my new brows and the entire process was painless. I didn't have any flaking or peeling like some people do so the worst I had to deal with in the healing process was having dark shiny eyebrows for a few days. I just got them re-done this fall and had the same great experience that I did before. Jein makes you feel so at-ease and the appointment flies by as you chat and she works her magic. I HIGHLY recommend Jein for anyone interested in semi-permanent tattoo work.
