Martha performed permanent makeup artistry for my eyebrows and eyeliner. I couldn't be more pleased with how much better my face looks now. Getting ready for the day is much faster. I am now more confident beginning my day without applying more makeup. Her studio is very relaxed and professional. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend anyone considering permanent makeup. Call Martha before anyone else. She is definitely an artist and provides a great value for the service. From one very happy customer. read more

I have been using Martha for 10 years and I'm always happy with my permanent makeup for my eyebrows. The shape and color look beautiful and natural. My brows look polished every day and makes my morning routine so much easier. The entire experience is professional and comfortable. I really appreciate her attention to detail. I absolutely love my brows! read more

I think it was Martha that helped me - it seems based on reviews they are the primary person of the business but it could have been someone else, I feel like when I was on the phone, it was with someone older than the person listed on the site, maybe her mother? I called and texted with this business for services a bit ago and they basically made me feel completely stupid for contacting them at all. I was asking about micro blading and what times they had available and there was a struggle to figure out availability as well as slow replies. I ended up booking with someone else, I told them so and they started offering discounts for me to book with them rather aggressively, they wouldn't stop texting me. I believe I blocked them for a while. Also their site is horrible to navigate through or find any information - it barely works on mobile. read more

Martha is SO incredibly RUDE. She is unprofessional, condescending, and she yelled at me. I was nothing but kind. She even said "what..., no tip?" After the terrible brow job she did. This is your warning... stay away! I now have an infected hair follicle . DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

I have been having my eyebrows and eyeliner done for the past two years with Martha and the results are amazing . My eyebrows were naturally lopsided and she was able to give a natural and balanced appearance. High quality, accommodating and no one guesses that I had them done. read more

Martha is a miracle worker. I was in serious need of some eyebrow TLC so I booked a brow wax and tint appointment through text and was scheduled promptly. Martha took the time to look at my facial features and made me feel very secure that she knew the best way to sculpt my brows. She made me feel very comfortable and ensured I was happy with every step of the process. Thought she did a wonderful job matching my eyebrows to my face shape. I am completely happy and can't wait to schedule a future micro blading appointment. (Something I've been wanting to do for a while but been too nervous to try!) You can be sure she will treat your eyebrows like they're her own. read more

Dear Martha, You are incorrect! You explained nothing to me. When I asked what the Rejuvenation facial is, you said "don't worry, it's good for you". You charged me $260 for a facial and I saw no benefits. As for my eyebrows, I came to you for about a year, spent over $1,000 and I still have to apply eyebrow pencil. My biggest issue is that you charged me much more than what you quoted me on the phone at the time I made my appointment! My second issue is that you talk non-stop during every treatment trying to upsell for another treatment. A very stressful experience. read more

I had a wonderful skin treatment and facial today from Martha. she is always so professional and takes her time. she always makes you feel relaxed. I have been coming here for a year and will continue. read more

I can honestly say I would not have anyone else touch my eyebrows. Her consultation an eye for eyebrow artistry will make you comfortable and happy that you chose personal touch spa for your eyebrow needs. read more

I try to see Martha every six months for a touch up to my brows. She created a beautiful, natural brow shape for me that enhances my facial features. I used to hate going out without full makeup on because I had almost no eyebrows. Now, I can roll out of bed and go to breakfast or run around town and not feel like I have to hide my face. I can't even imagine how much time I've saved not having to draw my eyebrows on every day, and that to me, is worth every penny. If you've been on the fence, or not sure about microblading, I would encourage you to just do it. I went in for the first time very nervous, and now I trust Martha completely. read more

Martha was phenomenal. I got microblading done with her about a month and a half ago. The results healed up nicely; microblading always fades a bit from when it's first applied, and my brows now look fuller than they were before but still natural. Martha spent time watching the way my face moves naturally as I talk, and she used her observations to guide the placement of her strokes. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were key in transforming my brows in just the right way. Microblading is a big investment and a risk (it's going on your face, after all!) but I'd recommend Martha to anyone in the area who wants a job well done. read more

Went in asking for a light blonde eyebrow tint. I even showed pictures of what I wanted. I asked in advance also when I booked. She dyed my eyebrows almost black!!! I was mortified and I am so embarrassed to show my face! Sooo disappointed in her service, will never go back again and warn others! She did not consider anything I had specifically clarified that I wanted done and did what I absolutely feared the most to happen. Very Unprofessional. Do not recommend going here! read more

Wow! I was super nervous about Microblading going into this. I basically have two different eyebrows and Martha was very detailed, took her time and explained everything. The price ranges and she likes to quote in person so if you are curious about the cost I would suggest giving her a call before. I appreciate her quality and consideration throughout the process. I'm adjusting to the shock of having better shaped and fuller eyebrows but they are great! Would suggest you invest with Martha if you want a personalized look. read more

Over 7 years later update: still going strong, no weird color fading. First, I didnt now realize this at the time, but there are two distinct types of 'getting your brows done'- shading or hairs. I got shading done. Since then, I have also gone to two different providers to her hair added. That said, the shading has held up very well, I have not needed to get it re-shaded at all. The color is still an ash brown (didnt turn red, didnt turn blue), and it contributes to a good shape to my brows. Even when I let the hairs grow crazy, they still look 'done'. My only complaint (if you can call it that), is that the front of my eyebrows were shaded a little rounded, and I would have preferred more square = rounded might be her default shape, so if you want them shaded squarish, let her know. That said, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't do full shading to the front of the brow - consider shading on the tail and a seperate appointment for either a lighter shade in front, or just hairs. I have had hairs added to the front to make the absolutely perfect shape. Dont be scared, when you get them done at first they will look like Stamped On Eyebrows. Within 5 days they start to flake. Ar 1 week your eyebrows look 'on fleek' At 2 weeks they are done flaking. If you peel them instead of letting them fall off, you might lose the color. read more

Martha is a talented eyebrow artist! I started going for my brows over ten years ago. I go back for micro blade touch ups a couple times a year at least. They look so natural and beautiful. I noticed another reviewer mentioned that her brows looked reddish after some years, but that's only if you go once and expect it to look good for years without touch ups. read more

Everything is superb! Martha takes her time in getting to know your personality so that what she is doing fits YOU and your personality! Her place is clean and beautiful. In a great location, and her products are top of the line. She's an artist. She has a gift. I just can't say enough about her and her abilities. Except, you won't be disappointed! read more

I got my eyebrows microbladed with Martha today and am super happy with the results! She took her time and was super kind and professional. She has good advice and a lot of experience. I am happy that I chose her. read more

Wow...the rude awakening. it was supposed to be $125 for a refresher After the $500 initia. Instead of 1 year it was 2. I told her "Ah...pandemic?" She didn't care and charged me double. I just came back from my 3 month refresher at $85. It sucks. Going elsewhere. 1/ she is ALWAYS late! 2/ she assumes your time is infinite so she will prep on your time 3/ she does not care what you want. I wanted light brown from the beginning Each time she puts in dark brown. 4/ having an insanely high opinion of herself she just won't stop talking 5/ I purposely wore AirPods playing music. She had the temerity to tell me to take them off. When I asked why, she said so she can talk. I asked her why do you need to talk? She said it was necessary. She finally gave in because I would not oooh and awe with her blathering About her Hawaii conference. 6/ she plays that damn music she got in Hawaii loud. 7/ here's the kicker; you're supposed to have 1hr and 30min for your session. she did mine thin, obvious and dark in less than 45min. Sadly, I have to use eyebrow makeup anyway to fix her mess! lesson expensively learned. read more

Please remove all the stars. I will not give her not one star. You all can find out for yourselves. This lady only cares about money not her clients. She states no one else is as excellent as she is in Carmel or Monterey. Martha ruined my eye brows !!! She also raised her prices due to she has to pay her equipment off. read more

I made an appointment with Martha today for 10am. I even got the spas text reminders multiple times since booking. However, when I showed up the spa was locked and the lights were off. I waited 30 mins. I called and texted and got no response, so I left. Martha then called me an hour later saying she thought my appt was at 1pm and needs me to rebook. I explained that it was supposed to be at 10am and left it at that. Later on in the day Martha texted me again asking me to rebook. I told her I made an appointment elsewhere. She came back with a comment saying that no one can do as good a work as her and I should just forgive and forget because she forgives late customers (which I am not in this situation). I do not doubt her work based on her many great reviews. That's why I tried to book her. But I am upset by the lack of professionalism and consideration. read more

I am so pleased with my permanent makeup/microblading. Martha takes into account what you are looking for but also offers her professional opinion. She measures everything according to your face and balances the eyebrows so it makes you look younger and fresher. I highly recommend coming to Martha. Her prices are more reasonable than others and I trust her to do an amazing job!! So happy with her services. I've been going to her for a few years now and won't change :) read more

Martha gave me perfect eyebrows with microblading this last weekend. I was really nervous, have never liked my eyebrows. She walked me through the procedure and gave me a great consultation. I loved the shape she planned for me. She was very gentle and talked me through it. It was not even painful! Just felt like hard tweeting at worse. I was scared to first look in the mirror but when I did I couldn't have been more happier! Thank you Martha! 3 days later and have had NO discomfort or side affects read more

Perfect Touch Spa is located downtown Monterey, next to the Aveda concept salon on Alvarado. This little studio spa is very cute. It feels like an intimate neighborhood space. Martha (owner) is a true professional esthetician. I went to her for a first time emergency eyebrow wax. She is a perfectionist and wants her clients to have the best possible look for them. She takes her time to do everything the correct way. Some places just wax and rush you out, but Martha does not. She took care to wax, trim, pluck, then soothe the skin with a special tonic then a light emitting device for $20. At first I was nervous to try someone new, but she assured me that she knows how to shape eyebrows very well. She was right, because my new brows felt beautiful. Not only does she offer eyebrow waxing, but she has an array of facial services, mineral makeup and medical spa treatments. She also offers a very interesting natural permanent makeup procedure. I never saw permanent eyeliner look so natural. I think I will back to try the facials and possibly the mineral makeup! read more

Martha is excellent! I came here with my mom who has tried a million different places to get a brow wax/tint and she assures me this place is the best, and she will always be driving all the way from Santa Cruz just to see Martha! I got my eyelashes tinted and they look great! Also they have lasted much longer than any other place! I will definitely be going back to Martha! read more

Martha is a true artist! Had my first session of micro blading with her today. She takes her time to ensure every blade stroke is necessary and expertly placed. We would stop and look in a mirror together and talk about how the brows were coming along. She wanted to make sure we stayed on the same page and were achieving my desires. I can't wait to see them healed! Ps, it's pretty painless :) She used a numbing cream on the area before hand. read more

I've just been back to Martha for a touchup on my eyebrows, which I already loved anyway! It's hard to believe but she made them even more beautiful than they were before. I so appreciate Martha's professionalism and complete determination to make my eyebrows as perfect as she can. I know that my beautiful eyebrows have dropped about 10 years off my age. I look forward to seeing Martha in the future, Even though I travel all the way from Utah to do so! She and my brows are more than worth the trip! Thank you so much Martha, what a difference you've made for me! Elizabeth read more

Martha is amazing and permanent makeup is the way to go. I am so pleased because a year ago I tried tattooing and was definitely not pleased.The tattooing was minimal pain but the quality was terrible. I decided to try it again and it was well worth it. Martha is very gentle and talks you through the process. I experienced no discomfort at all. I had my upper eyes done with liner. Perfect. Since we are in pretty close range of each others face her voice is very soft not loud or abrasive. She does not chatter incessantly. People that get massages will understand this. I highly recommend Martha for a wonderful experience that will make you feel pretty with no fuss. Thank you. read more

Brows and eye liner recently done. Unbelievable results. I should have done it a lot sooner. Martha is wonderful. The whole experience couldn't have gone better. She is so talented, and a perfectionist. Clearly loves what she does and takes pride in getting absolutely perfect results. I wouldn't let anyone else do this, and will continue to have her do routine touchups. I can garden, walk, sweat, wake up, shower; looking good. Doesn't smear, wash off, sweat off, fade. Taking better photos too: always "prepared". 5 months after procedure and I am thrilled. It was always difficult for me to get my brows penciled in well, or matching, let alone lasting throughout the day. Now they are always perfect. Also, the color she chose after talking to me, is absolutely perfect and very natural. Eye liner is just right and exactly like I used to have to apply daily, but which always faded too soon. read more

I have gone to perfect touch a couple of times now to get Brazilian waxing. very fast, a different and better wax was used than what most places use and more importantly painless! its easy to schedule an appointment and Martha was incredibly friendly. read more

I liked the way Martha did my eyebrows, but her lack of consideration for her customers will prevent me from coming back. She prefers you to text her for an appointment which is fine as long as she remembers to write them down. Unfortunately, both a new customer and myself as a returning customer was given the same appointment time. When I showed Martha her text confirming my appointment she said she needed to reschedule me. I travel for a living, so Rescheduling is often difficult. Apparently, customer service isn't as important and money !!! Won't be back..... read more

I hesitate to write this review because it may make it hard to get an appointment but fair is fair. I've been getting facials for many years. I've been to, supposedly, the best in L.A. and S.F. But, Martha gave me the best facial I've ever had. My skin was gorgeous afterwards. She also did my brows and lashes and they were perfect. And she does not let you walk out looking like you just got out of bed. She put a little make-up on me and made me look incredible. It's obvious she loves her work. And, she is superb at it. The best ever! I'm never going to anyone else again. read more

Martha is Godsend!!! A gift from the heavens!!! I have never met anyone more passionate about skin and beauty than Martha. I just had my first appointment with her today. I called this morning to ask if I could schedule a consultation for facial treatment, and she said she had an availability at 3pm. I had about an hour to get ready, but I was totally motivated to make it to this appointment with Martha so I got ready as quickly as possible and called a cab. I was starting to worry because five minutes had turned into ten which then turned into half an hour and still no taxi in sight. I had to call the Yellow Cab Taxi company several times to ask about my ride because for some strange reason my taxi never showed up. When the taxi driver finally pulled up into the drive way, I was already 35min. late for my appointment. Once I jumped into the cab I received a text from Martha asking whether I would still be showing up for my appointment. I apologized profusely, told her I was on my way, and that there was an issue with the transportation. Martha was very forgiving! She later told me that she ended up rescheduling an afternoon appointment so she had time to start on my treatment! I was so overwhelmed by her kindness and determination to treat my skin. I have terrible acne and scarring on my face (and it has been causing me so much grief and stress). Martha reassured me that the treatment plan she has in mind for me will be the solution to my problem skin (that and learning to relax... oh and easing off the chocolate!). I completely trust her and look forward to the following five (of six) treatments I signed up for. The Spa is located in downtown Monterey, and she offers a variety of high-quality/medical grade services. The Spa is small, cute, and welcoming-- a very relaxing place! The treatments are well worth the price, and Martha definitely knows what she's doing. She also offers a complimentary hand wax relaxation/massage treatment (which was incredible!). Martha really wants her clients to feel relaxed and that they are getting the best treatment possible. Please, please, PLEASE, if you are in the middle of a Spa search and trying to decide where to go, look no further-- make an appointment with Martha. Thank you Martha for all that you do! :) read more

Got my eyebrows done last week with Martha using the SofTap technique. I love them! When you're "blonde" you have to understand the brows come out very dark at first. But they eventually fade, and you can tone down the color with pressed powder. But Martha is a perfectionist. She's caring, compassionate and just a lovely person. It took me forever to get up the nerve to do this, but now I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! I'm still impulsively grabbing for my eyebrow pencil, and then realize, 'No!, no more!' Heaven! Lip liner next!!! read more

Martha is very friendly, and runs a good business. She is usually very eager to help you schedule an appointment, and she usually does a good job with my eyebrows, for me. (All but my most recent visit, my brows have been well-waxed...last time she must've been in a hurry or something, because they did not come out quite as they have in the past.) The prices are very reasonable! read more

I was there today and Martha did micro blading on my eyebrows she did a wonderful job I would highly recommend her

Very good facial! Extremely thorough, Martha really knows her stuff! I saw dramatic results after just one visit. She has the latest technology, and went above an beyond on my facial. I am very satisfied. read more

I am thrilled with the results! My brows look very natural and correctly and evenly spaced. They had been ruined years ago by over-plucking and a loss of eyebrow hair. I had some friends look at the finished results and they couldn't even tell that I'd had anything done. Even up close, it's hard to tell. For the first time in years, I don't have to be messing with it during the day to correct what I tried to do in the morning. I was very nervous going into it, but Martha is a true professional. She showed me exactly what she was going to do, and it turned out perfect. Martha has a very good eye for what needs to be done and measures it exactly. She also corrected a poor eyeliner job done previously by someone else. I am very pleased to say the least and I highly recommend her!! read more
