While I had a concept in my head of what I wanted my brows to look like based on how I was using make up to fill them in, Katie helped me to understand how the final product would look and provided me with different options. I did end up taking her advice, and I am super glad that I did. The key for me was to be patient and trust the process. My eyebrows look natural and effortless, and not having to do them every morning has been such a game changer! Photos include eyebrows, pre-micro, blading. And final results.

Long version: After following her IG account forever, I finally took the microblading plunge with Katie. She instantly made me feel like I was in good hands, guiding me through what the process would entail and how we could best reach my brow goals. She marked up her game plan and had me weigh in so we had shared expectations. I couldn't be more pumped with how they turned out! She's a magician y'all--they are balanced, fluffy, and best of all, ready to go without any makeup. I had them done in 2020 and they have held up beautifully. I also recently had Katie hand-poke over some of my existing freckles so they show up more when I use foundation. I'm in love with how they turned out! Thank you, Katie!

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.

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 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.

Best decision EVER I…read moream SO happy I went to Hallie to have my brows done and I'm embarrassed I didn't post a review sooner . I was referred to Hallie to have my brows touched up a year after I initially had them done. Since I had never been tattooed, I didn't know how my skin or the pigment would take so a touch up was needed. Hallie really took time to understand what I wanted from my brows and also study how the pigments developed with my skin type and tone. She did an amazing job filling my brows in, correcting the shape where they had faded, and selecting the right pigment blend to match my hair. Six months later and my brows still look amazing and have settled in beautifully. I'm super happy with Hallie's artistry and will not hesitate to come back. I would HIGHLY recommend Hallie if you're considering getting permanent make up.

I booked a microblade touch up with Hallie (she was not the original person that did my initial…read moremicroblading), but wanted to give her a try. She told me she didn't have a shop anymore but was willing to come to my house. I paid the $100 deposit at the time of booking. Appointment was specifically scheduled for 5:30pm after work; I also remember this because I even warned her about potential rush hour traffic at that time. I was surprised when she called me the morning of the appointment to tell me she was on her way, and I reminded her I was at work and appt isn't until 5:30pm. She said no problem I'll see you then. A couple of hours before my appointment, Hallie texted me saying her car isn't working and needs to reschedule. I was understanding and provided several alternative dates and times the following week. When I didn't hear back by that weekend, I followed up and even offered to travel to her in Oakland to make it easier on her, and let her know I was really trying to keep my touch up appointment within the 6-8 week recommended timeframe so my brows wouldn't fade too much before touch up. She said she'd get right back to me, but never did. One week after my initial booked appt, I kindly asked for my deposit to be refunded since the service had not been provided and she seemed like she was going through a lot and couldn't get back to me about rebooking. She said she would send it. 24 hours later I let her know I still never received it and asked when she'd send it. She refused to provide a timeframe and was short with me. It has now been approximately one month and I still haven't received my $100 deposit back. I understand that unexpected circumstances happen, but the lack of communication, failure to reschedule, and failure to return a deposit for a service that was never provided are extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Proceed with caution.
