Sue is excellent in her skills in making your eyebrows and eyeliner look beautiful and permanent. I had my permanent make up done before Sue four times and I had to keep going back to touch up. With Sue, I did it once and it is lasting a long time and it still looks good. I just wake up and go. So nice. It definitely hurts a bit but you pay for being beautiful She also gives you a good price because she has her own place and been in business for a long time. Give her a try and you will love it!! read more

Obviously this is a horrible job right off the bat if no color took to my skin (so far) ... thank god for that! But now I am scarred for life. I wonder what the scarring will look like once the entire scabs fall away. Please pray for my situation. read more

Sue is fabulous. She's so friendly and professional. She did a great job on microblading my eyebrows, upper and lower eyeliner, and lip liner. She let me use a Groupon for both the brows and eyeliner. Although, the groupon was for regular brow tattooing. So I paid a little extra for microblading. I also paid for the lip liner and am so glad I did. She then did a touch up for me a couple of weeks later. She really cares about her clients and doing the best she can to make them the best and most beautiful they can be. Definitely look into scheduling with her. I will be back for skin care and facials. read more

Not gonna lie, the price of beauty is a little bit painful, and you bruise. I've had eyeliner done 3 times, and Sue was no more painful than the others. Long story, I had droopy eyelids, so after 2 unsuccessful attempts at eyeliner, I got my lids lifted, and one lids' liner was 3 times thicker than the other. Sue did a wonderful job of getting them even. I would definitely recommend her. ps. They aren't allowed to inject you with lidocaine, therefore a topical is all they can use. Suck it up, it will be worth it in a week. Thank you Sue! I love my results! read more

Permanent Makeup by Sue - Great job correcting my permanent eyeliner - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Carmichael, California

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews of going to Sue. When I 1st met her she was very nice and accommodating, however she up sold me like everyone else said. The numbing topical she uses must not be medical grade because the numbing that it provided was not sufficient, I asked her to stop several times while she was performing the service and she refused. Despite all that at the time the perminent me kept looked OK. So I scheduled a follow up appointment with her. She flaked, no showed, did not enter her cell phone twice. Now 2 weeks after I have 2 different color eyebrows and my eyeliner is not finished fully. I never received the bottom eyeliner services I paid for nor any of the touch up services. I've requested a refund only 4 are Soo to no answer and no call. I will be reporting this business to the California consumer board. read more

Permanent Makeup by Sue - Two differently colored eyebrows and non finished permanent eyeliner - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Carmichael, California

My mom grew up in the '80s with that came the horrible overplucking. She had asked for me to look into someone who was experienced with semi-permanent make-up and unfortunately that's when I found Sue. I should have done more research or checked Yelp but I didn't. I accompanied my mom to her appointment. As we walked in, it was like stepping back into the '80s. I was a bit apprehensive but not knowing what to expect I sat and waited. Her workspace is extremely dim, and like I said in need of a major remodel. I heard my mom tell her several times that it was hurting. When she was done, they looked like someone just grabbed a colored pencil and drew a dark curve. Sue explained that they would lighten up and she could come for an adjustment once they healed. I wasn't convinced. Secretly, I was grateful it wasn't me. Once they started to heal you could see the unevenness not wanting to hurt my mom's feelings I asked her what she thought. She pointed out how one brow was curved and the other was straight. She called Sue to explain and Sue confidently explained that she would fix it. I thought she is a professional who could define the brows (Hmm). When she was done nothing had changed the brows looked the same as the first time just darker. My mom is a low maintenance type of gal and dealt with her blotchy brows not very impressed with the final result. A quote I will remember from Sue, "Brows are like sisters, not an exact match". Ha! Ask yourself why doesn't she have more pictures posted since she has been providing beauty services (blotching) women for years? The only photos she has are of mature women. I wish I would have done more research. After 3 years they finally faded enough and I found a real gem of an artist. IG: kristys_browblading. I followed her for about a year before I recommend her to my mom but even then I was hesitant. Through her work, professionalism put me at ease. If you don't believe me check out her work you will be impressed. I ended up getting my brows microbladed from Kristy also and as you can see they look amazing. I got mine in a combo (microbladed with shading). If you want a more natural look she does that too. Sue isn't even on the same spectrum. You have been warned. *See picture I posted. And her extensive portfolio can be found on IG. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kristys-browblading-folsom read more

Permanent Makeup by Sue - Hey Sue, you see twinning! Perfect sisters!! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Carmichael, California

Sue did my permanent makeup. Eye brows and upper eye liner. I was very happy with her work. She drew my makeup on me 1st to see if I liked it before starting. Not gonna lie it hurts alot. My recommendation take pain meds before. But she did both in 1 session. Took less than 2 hours. I didn't ask for breaks, I just let her do her. I was swollen for 2 days. By the 3rd day it was still brused but no swelling. I LOVE IT. will definitely be going back for my 4 week touch up. read more

I had permanent eyeliner and lips done by Sue. I never wrote a review at the time, I wasn't one to do reviews. However, it has bothered me for a long time not to share my experience. It was incredibly painful. My biggest issue with her is the serious lack of disclosure about the follow up pain, swelling and with the lips- big black, horribly painful lips I would have especially the day of treatment. I had to pick up my girls from school immediately afterword. She told me not to wipe off the black charcoal look for several hours. I had to. I couldn't face seeing teachers and shock my children. Of course the end result was the lip color never took. (waste of money, but worse tolerating the pain). Had she been truthful about what to expect I could have and would have scheduled another day when I didn't have obligations. I consider this process a regret. The eyeliner doesn't look very good and is uneven. read more

I have held off on writing a review, but can hold off no longer. Went in about 2 months ago for eyebrows and eyeliner. I already had done it before with another person, but chose Sue after seeing her on Groupon and positive Groupon reviews. So, paid the price for full eyebrows and eyeliner, when I really only needed a touch up. I was fine with that since the Groupon price was low. She did a strong up sell on permanent make up for my lips. I reluctantly agreed and paid $400 for my lips. While she was doing my eyebrows, I said I changed my mind, I don't want to do my lips. She said, "You'll be fine. We'll just do it." Beware...strong sales pitch!! Long story short, when I went back in for my touch up for my eyebrows and liner, I told her I had no pigment in my lips and I just wanted a refund...or even a partial refund. She said, no refund! Worst part...both sessions were totally painful! For the second session, she told me to take ibuprofen ahead of time. I did. Don't know if that impacted the outcome, but now it has been 2 days, and it looks like I am a domestic violence victim! 2 black eyes that cannot be hidden by makeup. Had to wear sunglasses during lunch yesterday, and at the dentist office today. I start a new job Monday, and sure as heck hope it is better by then. They will be taking my badge photo on Monday!! Sent Sue pictures of my eyes, and she laughed a little and told me to put steak on them! She said come back if I am not happy, and she will fix, but I don't want to be tortured again, nor do I have 3+ days to be in hiding from the bruising. Sweet and artistic lady, but wish I would have looked at Yelp before setting my appointments. I will NOT be going back. read more

I am very happy with Sue's work on my eyebrows and will go back when needed. Thanks Sue Anita read more

I'm so impressed with Sue's artistry and professionalism. Her "bedside"manner gave me complete confidence during the procedure. She was responsive to my cues ...but forthright in getting it done as painlessly as possible. Her design for my new look was perfect as well. I had lips, upper and lower eyeliner, and brows. Only needed a minor touchup on one lower eyelid. I wish I knew how to add before and after pictures as the transformation is amazing. Still looks natural but enhanced and so much younger.. I'm 61 and my skin reacts to make up. I healed quickly following her instructions with no pain following the procedure. Now I wake up looking my best and it feels wonderful. read more

I had my eyeliner and eyebrows done by Sue about 3 years ago. The overall look was pretty good, but the process was barbaric ! I had never had permanent makeup done before and my friend had taken me there and paid for my makeover. $800 for eyes and eyebrows. I had asked for a dark, charcoal grey color on my eyes and she gave me navy blue. It didn't look bad, but wasn't what I asked for. It was VERY PAiNFUL !! She barely gave the numbing cream time to work and went to town. I was bruised and swollen for days ! She did my eyebrows and upper and lower lids in a little over an hour. Again, I had never had this done so I didn't know what to expect I just had my eyeliner redone and what a difference! It took 2 hours and was relatively painless, minimal swelling and NO BRUISING ! The person who did it was shocked when I told her about my experience with Sue. Also, I wasn't being upsold the whole time like with Sue. It sounds like Sue has really gone down hill in the last couple of years looking at her reviews. Stay away from Sue, she is more interested in money and getting you done quickly than in your comfort. read more

My eyebrows are now infected and peeling completely off my face! This is NOT good work! You ruined my face and possibly health!! And yet you still think you deserve my money?? I think NOT! read more

Honestly not too sure about the previous bad reviews about her, I usually don't follow yelp reviews in general just because I like to go into a business unbiased. I love my eyebrows, I was specific and knew what I wanted so maybe that had something to do with my accurate results. I told Sue I wanted them to look longer and I don't want a dramatic look, I knew a natural look is more appealing for my face and my mind in general. Sue definitely did deliver! I am very impressed with her work to where I'm coming back get my eyeliner done (got it done in the bay a few years ago, but now it's time for a touch up and a more enhanced look). My eyebrows didn't get infected and healed very quickly. As long as you are specific in what you want and or have a picture of what you want done she can do no wrong. read more

Permanent Makeup by Sue - Love it! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Carmichael, California

Updating review. After the work healed I was left Waugh scarring in eyebrows, two different heights and different colors...after the touch up. The eyeliner she did is completely crooked. She put rails on the eyeliner when I said not to. I'm now paying over $1,000 to pay a great artist to correct the brows and to professionally remove the tattoo from my eyelids. Horrible work. She is a very nice person but has no business working on anyone's face in a permanent manner. Please do not go to this business. High pressure sales and horrible work. read more

Well I did it. Just went to get my eyebrows done since I really don't have any. Got the permanent eyeliner and lips. I love the look. Got to say, it did hurt. But no pain, no beauty. Very nice job. She takes her time, let's you breathe in between. Nice not to have to do the whole makeup every morning. read more

First of all she was very very nice and happy to accommodate me I needed an appointment right away and she got me in that day. She is very professional and did the very best job I am so pleased with my permanent eyebrows I will definitely return and anyone who is interested in getting permanent make up should have no hesitation in going to see her she will do an excellent job. read more

Sue did an amazing job on my eyebrows and offered a free complimentary touch up with this service. She is very personable and gets the job done in a timely manner. Pain is inevitable but is expected with getting a tattoo on your face. So, please remember to take some pain medication an hour before your session. If you are worried about scarring, be sure to follow the follow-up care routine religiously, and you should be fine. Otherwise, I don't recommend getting any kind of tattoos if you scar poorThe process does take about 2 months before you get your full results, so please don't be too quick to judge. Hope this review was helpful! read more

WARNING!! READ BEFORE YOU HAVE SUE DO ANY PERMANENT EYE APPLICATON BUYER BEWARE I had my eyebrows and eyeliner done by Sue 9 months ago. My eyebrows are uneven and one is longer than the other. My eyeliner is hardly showing on my lower eyelids. She said to wait 4-5 weeks for the time to heal. I waited and then called Sue to fix the issues I had for the poor work she did. She had me come back in and tried to correct her errors.BUT she didn't use anything to numb them first and I could not stand the pain. My friend had her brows/eyes done by another well know permanent eye expert and her work is done right and had them done 2 years ago, said suggested I should ask for a refund. I personally wrote to Sue asking for a refund of $800 which is what I paid with my hard earned money. Sue refused and never replied back to me. BUYER BEWARE read more

WOW! I have had nothing but compliments since I have been to Sue for my permanent eyebrows. This wonderfully talented & kind lady is an artist first so let me tell you she has talent beyond your typical make-up professional. I was a bit apprehensive about the pain factor. But fear no more! I am so glad I had this done by Sue. My eyebrows were completely healed and smooth in 1.5 weeks. I went about my usual routine during the healing. Just had to miss a few work-out sessions because of perspiration on a new tattoo. NO big deal. This was so worth it all...and hearing all the compliments...priceless! I should have done this years ago. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUE for permanent eyebrows! read more

My experience was very nice. I had eyeliner done by Sue. It wasn't as painful as I heard plus it was over in an hour. Very little swelling and no problem healing. She is also an artist with paintings all over her studio. Her paintings are mostly of beautiful women, it makes you wonder where she got her makeup talent! She's not at all pricey and very sweet and patient. You will leave there loving her beautiful warm spirit. I highly recommend her. UPDATE, the eyeliner didn't stay. It all washed away within a month. read more

I went to Sue for permanent eyebrows, and found the experience to be uncomfortable and the results unsatisfactory. The numbing medication was not effective, and her "treatment" to reduce the discomfort was to blow her breath on the area to "cool" it! Eyebrows were gone in three months. Could have gone back for a "touch-up", but didn't want to go through the procedure again. read more

This is my updated review on Sue.....my previous review had held off my final rating (I had not yet reached the finish line, so felt I could not grant FULL honesty 5 stars without reaching the completion). I went back after 5 weeks for my recommended follow-up/ touch-up that is often necessary in the artists mind, to make sure everything came out perfect. Sue listens to your needs, and sets out to make her customer happy. I actually preferred a slightly "softer" brow, and with her awesome artistry...she made it happen with a lighter color, and a fullness my face needed! Why do people think it is not possible to correct permanent make-up?? Sue really does know her stuff. I am absolutely thrilled with the work she does, and she makes the process fun! My eyebrows look so great, and I never even suffered the scabbing so many complain about with the permanent make-up (I also had my eyeliner and my lips done by Sue in my original sitting 5 weeks ago). I had NO down time, beautiful work she does! Thank you, Sue! I have had many compliments this week. read more

The Owner Sue did absolutely nothing to fix her service and is still very unprofessional and very unskilled as an artist...she should not be in business. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! Stay away! She was recommended by a coworker that went to her years ago so I didn't read reviews about her latest work. What a mistake! Sue said she uses a real good numbing cream and still I could hardly take the pain. She had upsold me to have my lips done but after having my eyebrows done I told her there was no way I could tolerate the pain. She would not refund the $575 I paid for lips. I told her I'd have to give her a bad review and she yelled at me and said i should do whatever and it didn't matter to her. I just filed a complaint with BBB. I encourage others to do the same. The pic shows my lips were not done but I was charged $575. And shows my eyebrows are uneven but I'm not asking for a refund for these I fix them with makeup. read more

I brought my Aunt in to Sue as a present. Sue did a great job on her eyebrows! It took her a while to make a decision but she was so pleased she decided to get permanent eyebrows done. Sue took the time to make her feel comfortable and address her concerns. Using an eye pencil Sue showed her how her eyebrows would look when she was done. Then she started. She has a very low threshold for pain so She did experience some pain however she got past it. She had dark brown hair and she used the right pigment to match her hair color. Just as the name describes, the procedure is permanent and I recommend a consultation with Sue if you're undecided on having permanent makeup done. Sue is an experienced professional that I trust! read more

I LOVE my permanent eyeliner! Since having permanent eyeliner done, I wake up looking refreshed and because it makes my thin eyelashes look thicker I don't spend all my time with clumping mascara. Most people don't know that I had permanent makeup done but since then my friends tell me I look more "vibrant". I'm thinking of having permanent lip color and when I'm ready I know I'll go to Sue!! read more

Sue is the best! I'm still in my healing/pealing phase but I love my eyebrows. Sue is above the best and she is very friendly! She kept me and my daughter laughing the entire time. She is so worth the five stars. Please visit her for service, you will not regret it! read more

Permanent Makeup by Sue - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Carmichael, California

This is the worst lady ever!! Her ink does NOT stay, her eyeliner fades and it's uneven. She really should not be allowed to charge 1,000 or more and it ends up looking like shit. Do not go to this woman, eyebrows will turn pink and the way she does brows are thin and UGLY!!! I have meet so many other women and seen sues work and it's extremely sad and sue does not give a crap at all. All of her clients end up going to Linda Woods because she numbs and her work is beautiful it's 100% painless read more

I am traumatized as I write this. I went to Sue for a brow and eyeliner touch up. I left having went through a horrific 1.5 hours of torture. Her numbing does not work. She applied 3 different things several times and none of them worked. I've never ever had this happen before. She don't know what they even were. She was barefoot. I don't know if she used new needles and didn't answer when I asked her. She touched her phone after having put on "sterile" gloves. She used wet paper towels wadded up for ice. She tried to color in everything by painting color on me over the top of the tattoo before I left. Again, I don't know if the brushes were clean, and who does this??? She also tried covering up her mistakes and the bruising that was on its way with concealer and even put eyeshadow over the bruised eyelids. I looked like I was in a car accident with 2 black eyes, and bruised and swollen brows and lips! My left eyeliner is one shape and the right side is another. It is so bad I will have to have it removed. The lower liner looks like I slept in makeup and woke up a mess. Truly awful. I don't think she is licensed to do this because everything is wrong! Even her advice to "keep it dry, don't put anything on it, don't brush your teeth" is the opposite of what everyone else advises. She will not accept check or credit card because you would be able to stop the check or contest the charge. Now I see why she did it this way. I asked for my money back so I can pay to remove her giant mistakes and she isn't returning my message of course. How I wish I read yelp before going to her. She is reckless and should not be doing this. I will be looking into the state licensing board, and possibly filing a police report on this lady. She couldn't care less what she did to me and others. This is criminal, reckless, wrong, and I will not stand for it happening to others. read more

My friend and I both got our permanent eyebrows and eye liner done here. My Friend Lisa also got her lips done too. The results were phenominal!! Love the work Sue artistically performed on us . What I liked about Sue was that she drew on me and showed me so I can see what I am going to look like before she permanently performed her artistic work. She is one talented lady!! The lips turned out beautiful on my friend and I am thinking about getting it done myself , by Sue, of course! It was great experience and when people tell me I look great I've been telling them about this place!! read more

Sue is an absolutely talented artist! I got instant results from my permanent makeup appointment and my eyeliner looks amazing! All of her permanent make up services come with a complimentary touch up and a free consultation.

I highly recommend going to Sue! read more

Went to Sue 2 years ago for eyebrows and liner, it was all uneven, missing spots, so I was thinking it was because of the swelling. I went back for a touch up, not much better. I still do my own liner and brows when I go out. Now looking into corrections, waste of $700. read more

Stay away! She scarred me and did a HORRIBLE job. You've been warned. Go at your own risk. How on earth did anyone give her good reviews, is beyond me. I found someone, in another state, who covered up and corrected her botched work. Although I can still see the scar, it's still better than what sue did. (She went too deep and uneven!)

I had my eyebrows done well over five years ago by Sue. I was told the color would fade and I would have to come back and have the procedure done again in 3 years. This was told to me after I had the procedure. What happened was the color did fade, all but the black. She did too much brow and I now am looking into laser to remove the elongated brow that looks like a 1950's brow. Because of the non fading black residual it looks unnatural. I got this done because I don't wear makeup and my nonexistent brows made me look weird. If I could have the work done again from the start, I would go for minimal, knowing black would stay forever. read more

I had my eyebrows done 1 year ago this month. When I first had them done I was so excited. After laying down thinking it was going to be a great experience from all my research, I quickly learned how wrong I was. The pain was horrible. If felt like she was carving out my face. She was rough, didn't listen to the fact that it was horribly hurting and wouldn't let me look until she was done. Went back after about 6 weeks because when it 'healed' you couldn't even tell they had been done. The second around was barley an imporvement from the first. Color is way too light, shape is off from what I wanted, I still have to pencil them in and it was a waste of $300. Now I have to find someone who can do them the right way and pay all over again. Do not go to Sue. read more

Don't go there! She talks talks talks, I had called for price, wouldn't give it, said to come in. Well, that was a mistake. Once there, she upsells (hadn't intended to have liner done) and convinces of her good work. Not. The stuff she uses to supposedly deaden the work area doesn't even touch it. I doubt it's really deadening/numbing cream. Others gave me price over the phone. Felt like I was in her snare. Seriously. When it all settled down, the brows are light (I have dark hair) and don't match each other, the eyeliner isn't even and hardly anything on lower area, yada yada yada. Went back to discuss and she talks talks talks, need to come back and I'll fix. Not Even!!! I have done my brows since age 12, have been very particular about them, always good form and matching, and now??? Will definitely have to have them re-done by a real professional. At least they're pretty much the same shape, unlike some of the reviews I've read. Honestly don't know how she got a 5 star review. So many negative ones even on this site. Again - DON'T GO THERE!!! On her website she had a $200 special for eyebrows, but I hadn't looked there before I went and of course I didn't get that price. I am totally disappointed and seriously don't know how she stays in business. I guess she gets enough gals to come in (to talk about it) and convinces them, then begins the process right then. That's what happened to me. I so regret it. Again, DON'T GO THERE!!! read more

My permanent makeup disaster by Sue. 19 months ago Sue tattooed my eyebrows n eyeliners. The result, left brow too high, wrong in shape, over-tatooed. Eyeliners r way too thick,terrible in shape n style. Both r asymmetrical. I cried a lot. Now 19 months later, my eyebrows color changed from dark brown to pink, eyeliners from black to blue n colors are bleeding because Sue used cheap-quality pigments and poor implementation techniques. Did she use brand new needle? I am permanently scarred by Sue's works. I did for the sake of convenience n vanity. I am suffering the consequences. I am disgusted to look at my face in the mirror, So So weird and unnatural. What a mess I created. A low price might be tempting such as using Groupon but the risks are HUGE, you will end up spending a lot more money and very painful procedures to correct the botched works. Life can be destroyed by permanent makeup. Don't trust all the positive reviews, they might have gotten the free works in order to give the good reviews. Please be careful It's ur face, you can't cover up read more
