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!

Alresa works some serious magic. I would never let anyone touch my eyebrows until I found her. Just…read morethe thought of someone potentially demolishing my eyebrows gives me nightmares lol I'm very particular about the shape and size of my brows and have always been so hesitant to let anyone touch them. But Alresa is so good with threading that my eyebrows literally inspired art (no joke, someone started using them as a reference for their work). The process is so quick and affordable, and she graciously puts up with my constant sneezes and eye watering. Despite my runny nose and eyes while getting threaded, she makes it as painless as possible. I've even had a Brazilian by her and it was the least painful I've ever had and she had wonderful care tips. She has separate, private rooms for various services, but no matter where you end up, the atmosphere is so calming. She has heaters if you get cold, aloe for eyebrow redness, and paper underwear for waxing. I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. I haven't tried any of her other services, but I don't doubt they're just as great as the ones I've experienced. Pro-tip: plan to schedule appointments AT LEAST 2 weeks in advance, maybe even more if you have something special coming up and the online scheduler allows it.

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'm a total newbie to permanent makeup, but wanted my eyebrows done after getting a job where I'd…read morehave to commute an hour every day. I was only familiar with microblading through a relative, but wanted powder brows instead since it would be more natural looking for me. (I'd also read that powder brows would last longer on oily skin than microblading.) I found Claudia and loved seeing the results her clients had. I messaged her through her Facebook page, asking if I would be a suitable candidate along with specific questions about aftercare, and she was super responsive and friendly! My positive impression continued with the confirmation email after booking an appointment. I'm the kind of person who LOVES reading ALL the information so I can feel prepared and knowledgeable. The amount of detail that Claudia has about pre-care and after-care in her appointment emails fulfilled that need for me 100%. I could tell that this is a person just as detail-oriented as me! At my first appointment, it was clear that Claudia is an authentic artist committed to your brows. She took her time drawing them in, even accommodating some feedback. It felt like we were a team getting me beautiful brows. As mentioned, I'd never had permanent makeup or a tattoo done, so I wasn't sure how painful it would be. (My relative had reported that microblading was super painful and was procrastinating on touchups for this reason, so I was a little nervous!) The powder brow procedure felt like deep scratches, and my eyebrows were sore at the end of the appointments even with the anesthetic gel, but it was totally manageable. Claudia included an aftercare kit with a cleanser and oil treatment, with clear instructions about how to treat my brows as they healed - no continuous stream of water flowing over them, no scratching! It took less than a week to heal, only itching occasionally after the first appointment. Putting pressure on my eyebrow with a nail soothed the itch just fine. It didn't itch at all (and barely peeled) after the touchup. The in-progress photo is the worst the peeling ever got. All very unlike my relative's intensely itchy and dramatically peel-y healing experience (like you could see it from afar) with microblading! I was also able to text Claudia with any questions during the healing process, and she gave me confidence to trust the process. The eyebrows took me a little getting used to after the first appointment, since they were so dark compared to my non-existent natural brows. But I LOVE the final results! It makes me so happy to look in a mirror and see such beautiful brows. It's saved me so much time in the mornings, not having to rush drawing in my brows (likely badly). Claudia was a joy to work with before, during, and after the appointments, and I will be recommending her to anyone local who wants their eyebrows done! (Including my microbladed relative, haha.)

Also, they are light-handed which helps so much with healing, and we always have the best convos. I always walk out not just loving my tattoo but feeling better as a person too. Jeannie is crazy talented but also just a really good human. Been my go-to since day one and will continue to be.
