She took her time to draw out the perfect shape for my face then mixed a color to go with my collection. My brows are better than they were when I had brows! I wish I would have done this long ago...and it last for two years!! Besides all of that she is a great human, very conscientious and works with you to make sure they are exactly as you want. I'm not going to lie, it is like getting one thousand bee stings at a time the first pass, before she can numb you for the rest but I would do it a million times over for the result I ended up with. Thank you, Claudia! You are the best at what you do and I applaud your work!

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!

For the past year, I've been searching for the perfect person in my area to do my lashes. I've had…read moremany people rush my lashes, causing them to fall off easily and leading to lash loss. I came across Yelp reviews and learned about Lush Eye Bar. I met with Thanh, who educated me about lash growth and the lifespan of each lash, explaining how they differ. We started with a natural look and eventually chose the wispy style of lashes that best suited my face shape and eyes. Thanh is patient, provides great recommendations, and has extensive knowledge gained from over a decade of experience. I look forward to staying with Thanh and continue to see her every 2-3 weeks for maintenance. Thank you, Thanh!

My lashes are always in great condition, she takes the time to understand what style lashes you want, and is a perfectionist (which is so important when it comes to the level of detail needed). 5 stars all around - also great parking and super clean / private studio.

All of the photos are without lip liner or lipstick. I love the results so far.

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 highly recommend Xen to anyone out there looking to improve their brow game. It makes life so much easier and the maintenance is so minimal: One touch-up per year! 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!

I was on IG browsing different pages and came across this one. I sent her a message and she responded right away. She answered all of my questions (trust me I had a lot), she was patient, and very knowledgeable about the process. And the fact that she's a nurse was just an added bonus. 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). I go back in six weeks for my touch up which is the normal process. I will also upload pics then as well. So far I'm more than happy with my investment! Thank you Bay Area Microblading! You rock
