This was my second visit to Wendy at Secrets Salon. The first was 8 years ago to get permanent eye liner. Back then she said it would last about 6-7 years and i was at 8 years! I probably could've waited a bit longer but decided to go now. Having Wendy do my eye liner was the best decision I've made! It looks natural and I can run out the door with confidence and getting ready takes less time. The procedure is a bit scary but she puts you at ease. From the teddy bear to squeeze to her keeping your mind off of it by engaging in conversation makes it a nice experience. I would highly recommend Wendy! read more

I've had my brows done a couple times in the last five years. Pigment doesn't last too long on me (sweat a lot?) so was looking around for a touch up. Due to C19, many places are closed and/or don't have good reviews. I called Wendy and she was just fabulous. Explained that I had faded brows and I wanted to keep the same shape and size just needed darker brown again. She worked with my crazy work schedule, was reasonable in price and the overall experience was wonderful. Time flew during my session as we had great girl talk while she worked. If you're needing work, Wendy's your gal, she's great! I would definitely recommend her to anyone for permanent makeup work. PS - for those contemplating due to C19, the location is clean; Wendy washed her hands before, during, after; masks and gloves were worn; only the person getting the procedure was in the building. read more

Wendy came highly recommended by a couple of my friends who used her services and RAVED about how amazing her work is. Both of them got permanent make-up and they look fabulous. After a third person recommended Wendy, I finally called her. She was very professional and friendly on the phone and answered all of my questions about permanent eyebrows and eye liner. I had done a lot of research prior to calling, so I had a lot of in-depth questions. Wendy seemed exceptionally knowledgeable. When I arrived for my appointment, salon was really quaint. It was clean and very professional. When Wendy greeted me, I was surprised at how gorgeous she was - very natural, warm and professional. She explained everything that she was going to do, let me ask a million more questions (and patiently answered all of them). She applied a numbing cream for about 20 minutes or so and then drew on my eyebrows based on what we talked about. I LOVED them! She nailed it. The process wasn't too painful. Wendy walked me through every step of the way, explaining what she was doing, etc. After she was done, she gave me the mirror and I was shocked to see myself! I have to say, I think this has really boosted my confidence and I definitely feel better when I'm not wearing make-up. Wendy is so amazing at permanent make-up and she's been in this industry for YEARS! She knows her stuff. I've already referred three friends and more to come. I can't say enough good things about Wendy and her knowledge. If you're on the fence, like I was, just know that this is the person you want to see!!!! I have to say ~ I read one of the other reviews ("K. C.") here and I think it's a hoax. I think this person was going to be mad and unhappy no matter where she went!! There are just some people who are unhappy no matter what. I can't believe that any of this is actually true. I highly recommend Wendy and her services! read more

If you have any reservation about seeing someone for permanent makeup, you should have no reservations at all seeing Wendy. She has done ALL of my permanent makeup (eyeliner (original and touch up), eyebrows, lips and lip liner.) She is THAT GOOD. When I saw her exquisite work on others, I knew she was the perfect person for me to see. I receive compliments from men and women on her work since it looks so natural. I refer her to others all of the time. Wendy will make you feel instantly comfortable and at ease with her warm smile and gentle demeanor. read more

WENDY at SECRETS SALON IS THE BOMB! I went to Wendy about 8 weeks ago based on a recommendation from a coworker who got permanent eyeliner and brows through Wendy. I was kind of reluctant, but my coworker's make- up always looks so amazing and really natural. The Salon: It's located on Alhambra Blvd in East Sacramento. Easy to find and parking wasn't an issue at all. When I arrived, Wendy greeted me and I immediately felt at ease. Wendy is super friendly, warm and made me feel welcomed. The salon is super quaint, clean really welcoming. After I filled out the paperwork, Wendy brought me back and we talked about my brows and what I was wanting. She's super knowledgeable and has been in the permanent make-up industry for over 20 years. She drew on my eyebrows after I told her what I wanted. After the pigment was on as a guide, she put this anesthetic gel on my brows. This took about 20ish minutes to take effect. When she was done, I couldn't believe how amazing they looked as far as the color and shape. NOTE: my own eyebrows have been plucked to death which has left me with a thin line of eyebrows and I've never been able to draw them on evenly. I was super excited after seeing the preliminary brows that Wendy created. The Procedure: It was mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. I get that everyone has varying levels of pain, but it wasn't bad. When she was done, I sat up and couldn't believe how amazing it looked. It changed my entire look!! I love them! Wendy gave me some paperwork on how to care for my brows and how long it would take for them to heal. It took about 3 weeks. They did a little scabby and she told me all that beforehand. But they healed amazingly and I'm sooooooo happy!! I'm not sure what one of the other reviewers was talking about with regards to "soliciting" and "trying to sell cosmetics to me...." Wendy never tried to sell me products or solicit her services to me. WTH??? I can't help but think this is an ANGRY person and maybe even a fake, vengeful review. And as far as paying with a credit card and the machine "being down", everyone knows that the internet occasionally fails and sometimes it happens with credit card machines since they are internet based. It's happened multiple times at my place of business. Wendy is such a professional, warm, calm and amazing permanent make-up artist. If you're seeking (or even thinking about it, but reluctant like I was), I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WENDY AT SECRETS! You won't regret it. She's so experienced and truly cares. read more

I got my brows done by Wendy in January and I absolutely love them! She chooses a color that matches the color of your hair and works with you on the shape you want. I had over-tweezed and had mis-matched brows for quite some time. She spent a good 20 minutes with me drawing on the brows I wanted and what looked good on my face. It is painful, however she used a numbing cream after about the first 10 minutes, and after that you can't feel a thing! I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

I had the permanent eyeliner done on both the upper and bottoms of my eyes and it looked great in 2002 and still looks great in 2021. Wendy was great and her hands are so steady it is unbelievable. read more

I absolutely recommend Wendy as a fabulous permanent makeup artist. She does a great job explaining the process; her application is quick and her work is of the highest quality. I had my upper and lower eyelids done and my friend had her eye brows done. Both look incredible! This is the best thing I've ever done for my beauty and she was the best person to do it for me! I waited 10 years to have this done because I couldn't find someone I trusted, but I definitely found my trust in her abilities. read more

I met Wendy Landsdon, the owner of Secrets Salon at a homeshow about 4 yrs. ago. I had wanted permanent eye liner for awhile but am a chicken when it comes to pain. After spending about an hour watching her work and noting her professionalism with her clients (none of whom were jumping off the table in pain) I decided to go to her studio and get permanent eyeliner. I believe this is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Wendy's studio is cozy and comfortable and she is so down to earth, friendly and does a fantasic job. I recommend Secrets Salon to anyone who is considering permanent make-up. read more

The salon is clean and quaint. Wendy is amazing at her craft. I had my upper and bottom eyeliner done. Wendy applied a numbing cream and after 10 minutes we got started.

I've been a client for several years, going in periodically (every four or so years) for a touch up on either the brows, eye liner, or underliner. Wendy is a true professional and creates a friendly atmosphere. Every time I go to a nail shop for an eyebrow waxing, I receive compliments on the fantastic job she had done...many times the compliments are from women who are permanent make-up artists! I have referred friends and family to Wendy and they are as pleased with their results as I am with mine. I won't say it doesn't hurt, but I gave birth to three kids so this is a walk in the park next to that...and it doesn't take as long! I love having nicely shaped eyebrows again, and I really love not having to deal with putting on liner. I want to do my lips next! Peg read more

About a month ago, I went to Wendy to get my eyebrows done and she did a fantastic job. I have received soooo many compliments on how nice and natural they look and I just LOVE them! I wan't sure what I wanted, except that I wanted eyebrows, so I left everything up to her and she didn't let me down! This was the BEST money I've spent in a really long time and I'm so glad that I did it! I coldn't be happier!

I too have been a client of Wendy's for many years. Having my eyeliner done years ago and then my eyebrows more recently. Over this time I have referred MANY people her way for what we all consider the best permanent make up services around. Not only is she very talented in her field, she has a way of taking a not so comfortable situation and making you feel at ease. Having permanent make~up done is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Thank you Wendy!!! read more

I have never had permanent makeup or a tattoo, so I was pretty nervous, but as soon as I walked in and wendy greeted me, I was totally comfortable. Wendy is a very nice lady and knows what she is doing. I got permanent eye liner done and although it is still healing, I have received nothing but great comments. I know I am going to love it. I would recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you Wendy JoBeth Antelope, CA read more

Wendy was superb! My top and bottom eyeliner was done months ago and looks fabulous. I loved everything about the experience. The location (super cute - not your normal tattoo shop), the setup (comfy laid back chair and soothing environment), the artist (very calm, reassuring, and talented), the procedure (not bad compared to my other tattoos especially for being on the eyes), and definitely the results (looks so pretty). The eye area is numbed so it is not so bad and I was able to drive myself home right after the tattoos and the touch-up appointment. Took a week to heal but was really fine just a few hours after the work was done. I would definitely recommend Wendy for any permanent cosmetics. Now I just need the nerve to get the lips colored ;) read more

I met Wendy at a garden/home show so was a little reluctant to have her perform permanent makeup, but decided to give it a go. Wendy did my eyeliner. I have already recommended her to a close friend and she did her permanent makeup as well. Both of us were very pleased with the outcome and the professionalism by Wendy. Her shop is clean, well organized and private. I shopped round so I knew the prices and she is very competitive. I would recommend her (and have) to my friends and associates. GIVE HER a TRY. read more

Go to Wendy! She did my eyebrows and they're perfect! I was afraid of weird coloring, or the shape not being right. She took the time with me to get them exactly the way I wanted them, and she put in her two cents which was very helpful. read more

I had been complaining about how I could never find an eyeliner that would stay on my eyes and how it would be great just to have it done permanently, so when I saw the Living Social deal, I purchased it. I called to make my appointment and Wendy was great about scheduling me on Friday to allow me to heal over the weekend. When I went in I was nervous. I have had tattoo's, but not on my eyes! I brought a friend for moral support. Wendy was very nice and courteous to both of us. She made me feel at ease during the process and talked to us and asked me how I was doing several times. She even gave me a teddy bear to hoId on to, which helped more than I thought it would! I had my upper and lower eyelids lined, but I wanted a very thin upper line for a natural look and that's exactly what I got. I even got a cute "goody' bag with care instructions and ointment. She scheduled me for a touch up appointment in a month, which was included in the price. This was a plus because other places charge for a touch up. Wendy did such a great job! My eyes were puffy that day and the next, but I never had any bruising- it just looked like I had been crying. The liner on one eye did come out lighter than the other, but I think that was because that eye watered more during the proceedure. She went over it during the touch up and now they're perfect! I had a great first experience doing permanent makeup with Wendy and I would definately recommend her. I would go back myself! I've been thinking of getting my lips done.... :) read more
