I booked my bridal makeup with Sammy at Sayoki Studio. She was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. She took the time to understand my olive skin tone and worked patiently with me through multiple consultations to nail down exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Her makeup application was flawless and held up beautifully, even after 14 hours of wear. When my hair didn't turn out as expected the morning of the wedding, I was pretty distraught. Sammy jumped in without hesitation to fix my makeup and make sure everything was perfect before the ceremony. Her kindness and support during that stressful moment meant the world to me and helped me get back to feeling excited about the day. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

I love Kayla! I have gone to her twice now and have throughly enjoyed the work she has done with my brow shaping. She is really good at balancing the brows and keeping your shape natural as requested. Pricing is good as well. I prefer a simple wax for my brows to keep them clean. I go every 4 weeks. I found her through yelp and really glad I did. I was looking for someone to do my brows in the bay since I recently moved from out of state. read more

I would not recommend going to Sayoki Studio for microblading. After only a few months, my microblading faded almost completely and the tattoo practically disappeared. I ended up feeling like I wasted my money and now have to get the work redone elsewhere. On top of that, communication with Sammy was frustrating from the beginning. Scheduling appointments and getting responses to texts or emails was extremely difficult. After multiple calls, texts, and emails, I would sometimes wait weeks for a reply, usually being told there were "technical difficulties." The overall experience felt very unprofessional, especially after already paying a deposit. If you are investing in cosmetic tattoo work, you want someone reliable, responsive, and consistent. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I ended up going to Hailey's IBeauty instead and had a much better experience. Hailey was kind, professional, responsive, and accommodating from the start. read more

Made an appointment three days in advance. Received follow up/after care emails in timely manner. Showed up a few minutes early and Kayla was prepared. She gave a great consultation and took her time executing the agreed upon brow shape. Service was painless, friendly and thorough. Thanks Kayla! read more

Great experience getting my eyebrows done. She really took her time and shaped them to fit my face, not a generic look. Super clean, professional, and the results are natural but still defined. Very happy and will definitely be back. read more

Loved my experience here! My brows look amazing--clean, natural, and exactly what I wanted. The owner is so friendly and easy to talk to, it made the whole appointment even better." read more

Sammy is simple the best hands down!! I would never trust anyone else with the task of such an important job as tattooing essentially on my face. I get compliments daily. She did a powder brow for me and it transformed my face. Eyebrows are such an important factor of your look. She is professional, detailed, a master of her craft, and just a sweet human. Thank you Sammy. Don't know what I would have done if I didn't find you!!!! read more

I finally got my brows done once the SIP was lifted! Sayoki Studio turned my brows from distant cousins to sisters LOL Sammy did amazing with the back and forth of reopening.. closing.. and reopening again. She made sure she rebooked clients that were canceled before SIP started and it was a very easy process. Her studio is so cute and she followed all COVID protocols. She made sure to ask me how I wanted my brows and very helpful with her feedback on what I wanted. We opted for a nano powder brow combo where I had fluffy natural strokes in the front and a more soft makeup look from the middle to the tail. Let me tell you... I LOVEEEE MY BROWS. I literally have to do nothing to them every day and they are on poiiiint. Trust the healing process, listen to Sammy's recommendations, and I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm referring her to all my friends and family! read more

Sammy is super thorough and detailed. She provides information on the entire process, pre and post care instructions. She is also very natural in her approach so that you don't end up regretting what you've done because she follows the natural growth of your brow hair. I was so nervous but it went very well. No pain at all and very natural looking brows. read more

Sammy is amazing! She fixed my eyebrows from an old botched job and now they look amazing. I never thought I would love my brows again but she proved me wrong today. Thank you so much! read more

Using my husband's Yelp account since I don't have one. Sammy is the best! Just went in for the touch up session. She is so professional, friendly, skilled! Her studio is so lovely and clean, great vibe! She gave her input and really listened to what was important to me. She is extremely patient and wants to make sure you feel comfortable and happy with the shape of the brow. The healing for the first session was smooth, no scabbing just flaking, was slightly patchy before the touchup but still beautiful shape and 1000x better than my natural eyebrows. I have had countless compliments about how natural they look. My eyebrows look even more amazing after the touchup and I am super happy with my decision to go with Sammy for this! I highly recommend her to everyone! read more

I am SO happy I went with Sammy to do my nanobrows!! I had been considering getting my brows done for a while after seeing friends have great experiences elsewhere, but I'd been following Sammy for a long time and just love all the photos of her work and her aesthetic! Her studio was easy to get to, super clean, and had really cool vibes. We did a consult at the beginning to figure out what we should do for my brows and I'm not the best at explaining things, but Sammy totally understood the assignment and drew up some bomb brows for me! The procedure was totally painless with the numbing ointment she applied throughout, and time just flew by while she was working. Once it was all done, I got a little aftercare package with stickers, moisturizing ointment, and a face shield to protect the healing brows during showers. One thing I want to note is that Sammy is very thorough and clear in her explanations of the procedure and healing process, so I didn't feel nervous or confused by anything like some of my friends have complained about at other places. I came back for my touch up about 2 months later and it was the same deal: totally painless, pretty quick, and Sammy was so nice! I can't recommend her enough; my brows are literally my dream brows now!! Thanks so much, Sammy!! read more

OMG Becky, look at her brows! I've been considering microblading for a few years but have always been hesitant on taking the plunge. I was overwhelmed by the options....microblading, powder brows, combo, ombré...what did I want? I DIDN'T KNOW! But after scrolling Sammy's instagram and reading the reviews I decided it was time. As part of your intake, Sammy asks you to send in photos that inspire you and things you'd like to avoid. She spends a good amount of time at the beginning of the appointment talking through the options and setting expectations. She talks you through the process of getting microblading and how to properly care for your brows during the healing process. At the end of the appointment you'll get a cute aftercare kit with everything you need including printed instructions. I LOVE how my brows came out! I wanted to even out the shape and fill in a few patchy areas. My brows look so natural and I can confidently leave the house without any makeup on my brows. They healed really well after my first appointment--I credit Sammy's very clear and thorough instructions on making it so easy to take care of them. The studio is very clean, cute, and inviting. I felt very comfortable during my appointment. If you're looking for great looking brows this is a wonderful studio to get them done. read more

For months and months I followed different eyebrow practitioners on Instagram, read a bunch of reviews on Google and Yelp, and basically did all of my research until I was finally comfortable with the person I found -- Sammy! What I really appreciate about Sammy is that she's incredibly kind, knows her stuff, and works with you to design a unique brow that works for you. I was super nervous to try it and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! She created a beautiful brow for me that is super natural and works with my face shape. She's also a perfectionist like me and I love that about her. But she's also realistic with you on what can be achieved. So I walked out of her salon with a really good idea of what to expect. Now I wake up and literally stare at my gorgeous new eyebrows for a few extra seconds every morning just because I'm so happy with them. Thank you Sammy! See you for the next touch up :) read more

I got microblading from Sammy and my eyebrows are amazing. I requested a natural straight brow and she was very thorough about explaining the whole process and making sure I was satisfied with the look. I was nervous about the tattoo being painful but she used enough numbing cream and made sure I was comfortable. It didn't hurt at all and the procedure was quick; I was out within 1 hour. Sammy is super professional and a talented eyebrow tattoo artist. Her studio is super cute and I appreciate all the thought put into the after care kit. Highly recommend! read more

I went to Sayoki Studio last Wednesday to get my eyebrows microbladed. I know the color is still adjusting/changing whatever but so far I am very happy with the result. Sammy took the time to explain everything about the procedure and it was over before I even realized it was started! Didn't hurt at all. read more

Sammy is amazing! I'm getting married this month and decided to get my brows done. I drove from SF and def worth every penny! I did my research and glad I chose Sayoki studio, it's clean and def felt safe and comfortable considering covid guidelines. I first got them done last year in Oct, prepping for the upcoming wedding and went in 2-3 months after my first appointment for my final touch up, and both times beginning to end has been wonderful. Be sure to follow all her directions to keep your new brows intact and it will come out beautiful. Sammy is such a talented artist and works with you how you want your brows done. I chose the powder brows and my brows have never looked as amazing as they do know, I love waking up and never having to worry about drawing in and making my thin brows fuller. It is a lil pricey, but you get what you pay for and these are absolutely worth it! read more

I've wanted to get my eyebrows tattoed for a long time. I found her on Instagram and was amazed by the how consistently perfect all of the executions were. Sammy was formerly a fine artist and then make up artist so she is perfectly poised to do this work. I waited over a year for her during Covid. Getting a tattoo on your face is a big deal and I would only entrust this to her. Sammy is kind, precise and extremely talented. Oh, and her new branding and studio is amazing. She is hard to get into, so book it today. read more

Sayoki Studio - before and after powder brow. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Y'all, Sammy does NOT miss! Getting my brows done was a bucket list item after grad school. I was so excited to book my first appointment then covid happened and everything was delayed but WOW it was seriously worth the wait!!!! After our initial email consultations, due to my pretty oily skin, Sammy and I decided that nano brows were the way to go. Sammy herself is such a wonderful person to communicate with and lowkey I trust her with my life lmaoooo. I had such a great experience getting my brows done (I have officially finished my first touch up!). During my first session, we also went through the style and color that I was looking for/would best suit me, she mapped out my brows perfectly and kept checking to see if I was okay with what she drew out, and she would explain what to expect during each step of the process in an easy-to-understand manner. She has the best taste in music (I forgot my earphones during my first session but found that I really enjoyed her personal playlist so didn't even need them+I had a great time talking to her), she's precise, very very thorough, and such a talented artist. She made sure that the brow shape I was looking for framed my face well and while talking to her, she mentioned that she had background in the arts and phewwwww does it show! I was looking for more symmetry and hair strokes to give my brow a fuller look without looking too drawn on and I am beyond ecstatic with the final result. They healed up really nicely, which is a testament to her skill (and also how well you follow aftercare), and with my touch up just finished, I am just obsessed with how great everything looks. Not once during my sessions did I feel uncomfortable covid-wise, she has a very cute and tidy studio and is pretty meticulous about sanitizing and masking up. I could not recommend her enough. read more

Why did I choose Sammy? Before I let anyone touch my eyebrows, I made sure I did my research through instagram, yelp, google reviews, any platform to make sure I get the result that I want. I'm not going to say I'm an easy customer as well, I'd like to put myself that with the money I spent, I have to be sure it's worth it. I mean don't you all feel the same way? First when I went to my appointment day, I totally forgot NOT to drink any caffeinated drinks like coffee/tea, and I had two cups of coffee before I went there. However, Sammy was very flexible to reschedule my appointment within the next three days just to get the caffeine out from my system so I can have the best result without having any excessive bleeding. This is actually a plus point that I like from Sammy, she wants to have the best result for customer. Other microblading artist would not even care if customer drink coffee or any caffeinated drinks just to get the job done. I have a friend who was bleeding tremendously, (she did it with other artist, btw) and turned out the ink didn't stay on her skin, and within two months the new eyebrows were gone. With Sammy, she made sure that the customer follow the after care treatment, so the brows will be completely healed. She gave an after care box along with the instruction, shower shield, after care lotion, and brow shaver. Such a nice, cute and organized box! I am very much happy with the result. So to give the answer to my question above, Sammy is such an expert in microblading and microshading, she has all the experience in drawing amazing brows (I mean just read all the yelpers reviews), she has great personality (this is important, to have someone draw your eyebrow, you need to work with someone who is flexible, have positive attitude, basically someone that you can trust - and Sammy has all that qualities), and the most important thing is she cares about the end result, and not just getting the job done. And that is why I chose Sammy as my microblading artist. I hope my review can answer your venture in searching for a good, skillful, and reliable microblading artist. read more

I've always taken care of my brows and listened to moms advice about over tweezing. She herself made that mistake when she was younger and I was deathly afraid of doing the same. Enter adulthood and with the wear and tear of makeup application to my brows alone, I started losing hair and had some sparseness. I did a year of research and waiting before I decided to see Sammy and start to fill in my little problem areas. WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!! She made my brows look better than ever before! I get a ton of compliments on my brows and the amazing part is, Sammy knows how to give you a natural, maybe she's born with it, look. I don't care for trends so I appreciate her ability to map the perfect brow for different faces! read more

Sammy is amazing! I got my eye brows microbladded, and she was VERY patient with me. I'm particularly a picky person but she had no issue talking and walking me through what the healing process and procedure itself! The procedure was incredibly painless. Initially, I was so nervous...but she made me feel better by reassuring me and putting a bunch of numbing cream on me Overall, I'm so so so happy with my brows! So happy I made a lash lift appt with her as well! Can't wait to get pampered again. Thanks Sammy!!!! read more

Ok, not enough good things can be said about my experience with Sammy! I had ok brows but no real shape or definition. I had been following Sammy for a little over a year and I really liked her style of brows. I wanted something that showed I took care of my brows but was natural. Went in for my first appointment and it was seamless. She numbs you the second you arrive, while the numbing sets she walks you through the process, gives you tips and advice on how to care for them, and talks you through what you're wanting. Not going to lie, I thought I went in knowing what I wanted, but Sammy knew what I needed. Walked out an hour later with brow strokes I wasn't expecting, but I trusted the process! And Sammy made such a point of making sure I was comfortable and was heard. She never said "I'm an expert." But her professionalism said it all that I just trusted her! I'm so glad I did! Followed her guidelines for caring for them for the next 6 weeks in the take home kit she gave me. Came in 6 weeks later, already happy with my results, and she goes and impresses me again with my touch up! She even filled in a mole I have on my face that had been fading the past couple years. I was so happy. Here I am almost 6 months later after my touch up and I'm so happy. I literally glide some brow gel on them every morning to tame their slight curl and I'm done. I love it. I can do a full face or no face at all and I'm happy. Sammy is a wonderful person and professional and I'm so happy I went with her. Can't wait for my next touch up in a January! read more

And being I have cancer this amazing woman made it possible to afford this, wow one in a million, I can't thank her enough for help making my life better,never would I have thought that my brows would ever look this great. I feel awesome. Thanks to you Sammy, you are an expert at your craft and you care about your clients!! read more

Sammy is amazing at what she does! 110% recommend going to her. She makes sure you love the shape of your brows before actually making them "permanent," so there's no need to worry about that!

My brows were faded, extremely discolored and blotchy. I walked out of her studio with correction that I couldn't be any more pleased with. I was utterly stunned at how much improvement she was able to achieve with not only the color but the shape/fine lines that I really thought at one point was not realistic to fix and also have been told wasn't. I wish I had found her sooner! Not only does she have a personable bedside manner, she's very professional. We spoke about expectations, my skin type and after care guidelines. All detailed information that I appreciated even if it wasn't my first go with a brow artist. Her website is very informative and I booked online. I recommend making some time In advance to check available dates with her. Highly recommend! read more

I first got my eyebrows microbladed by Sammy in 2019. She is so talented. My touch up was scheduled for the end of March 2020 which kept getting postponed due to Shelter In Place orders. Throughout the pandemic my brows were fading more and more... I was so sad to see her talent fading away. In March 2021, I was finally able to get my brows redone. WOW!! As soon as I left my appointment, I felt so refreshed and my confidence was immediately boosted. My coworkers even noticed via zoom how good my brows were looking . We went with a bushier version of my natural brows this time. The shape is amazing and I love them so much. It's crazy what a good brow can do for your face. I don't wear makeup often, but I don't even feel like I need to do much thanks to my brows. I would highly recommend getting your brows done, especially by Sammy. She's magical! read more

Sammy is amazing. She is professional, knowledgeable, a perfectionist with brows, and super nice. Her studio is clean and stylish. It was easy for me to find and there was onsite parking. She accepted cash, credit, and venmo (maybe more). I was a bit nervous, but after speaking with her, she made me feel comfortable and confident about the process. The healing process was explained, so today is day 4 after and there are no surprises. I am in love with my brows. They look better than when I fill them in myself. I am excited to make my touch-up appointment and don't plan on going to anyone else for my brows. No doubt that I recommend Sammy. PS - it wasn't painful. It felt like my cat licking my eyebrow. She uses numbing. read more

I LOVE my brows. I did a lot of research online, on Yelp and on IG before deciding to go with Sammi. Her work looked the most natural to me and my final look came out super natural and thicker than my own brows. Her studio is super cute and clean, there's always easy parking, her price is fair ( not too cheap and not too expensive, which I personally believe is very important). She has such a warm and inviting personality and made the whole process easy and comfortable. I can't even explain how good it feels to have nice brows fresh out of the shower, when i wake up in the morning, swimming, it's really a game changer. I've recommended her to all my friends I've gotten so many compliments on my brows. The photo i attached is my brows about 2 weeks after touchup, with no makeup on them (of course makeup on every other part of my face though lol). Thank you Sammi you did an amazing job read more

I had my annual touch up with Sammy the other day. I showed her a picture (prior to my appt) to give her an idea how fluffy I wanted my eyebrows this time around. She was honest and said she will do her best to make it as fluffy but still natural-looking as much as possible. Well, she exceeded my expectations. I LOVE my eyebrows and I can't stop staring at them! I love the shape, the thickness, and just everything about it. If it's your first time getting your eyebrows done, look no further. Go to Sammy! read more
