Just blown away with how amazing my brows look! Jeanne was very sweet, knowledgeable & took the time to listen when I shared the results I was hoping for. Her space was warm, clean & quiet, & I felt welcomed when I arrived. We started with her drawing out what she wanted to do to my brows & after a quick look over, I loved what she created. Once we began the needling she checked in with me often on how I was doing & my pain level. After we finished the first run through, she had me look my brows over and we discussed what I wanted to slight adjust - that being said I was already in love with them. Once finished, I loved the look of my final brows. She truly is an expert at what she does & I would highly recommend anyone looking for a brow upgrade :) read more

Just did the luxury nano brow and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome! Jeanne was kind, sweet and understanding. We worked together to find a shape for my brows that was more harmonious to my face structure. She was very knowledgeable and patiently explained her thoughts, and was patient in listening to my feedback. Jeanne was very communicative throughout the entire process, letting me know what to expect and the thought process behind her decisions. This made me feel very comfortable and trusting. My sparse, thin haired brows now look more full and still very natural. I highly recommend Jeanne! read more

I had my brows microbladed in Asia years ago so I was looking for an artist to retouch my brows since mine were fading. I had my first session with Jeanne back in February and I had a great session with her! Not only was Jeanne patient and understanding, but she's also extremely friendly and personable. I also appreciated Jeanne's honesty in letting me know that she felt my previous brows didn't frame my face well, and together, we worked together to draw brows that complimented my face much better! This goes to show how much she cares about her clients and wants to make sure you are getting your money's worth for her services. I also took a makeup class with Jeanne yesterday (along with my cousin)! This was such a fun and interactive class where Jeanne took the time to explain to us which products worked well with our skin properties, had us practice and apply products on our own and we left the class feeling happy and inspired by an everyday look that we can now use on a daily basis. My cousin and I have very different facial features yet Jeanne dedicated time for both of us, ensuring that our questions were answered and that we were applying the methods correctly. I can't say enough great things about Jeanne! She is truly knowledgeable, friendly and cares about her clients. I highly recommend her for brows and makeup (whether it's a class or session)! Thank you Jeanne unnie :) read more

Soft Arches Studio - My brows before (left) and after (right) - Permanent Makeup Near Me

When I say that this was a life changing experience--it's because it absolutely is. Jeanne is so incredibly honest, so professional but so easy to engage with, she's truly an artist and someone who has made every single morning of my life more simple and more confident since I met her. Even when I was in high school, passing by make-up counters in department stores, I'd be stopped and asked if I wanted help with my eyebrows. My brows have always been light, but since turning 40 they've become even more sparse. I was a regular Glossier boy-brow + brow flicks user for ages, needing both products to fill-in enough to look like I even had natural brows but all it took was a hot enough day to melt them away. Jeanne was super honest with me--I have very oily skin which is great for preventing wrinkles and not the greatest with nanobrows. She gave me very clear expectations about how often I would have to get them touched up and that my outcomes might not look as precise as those with less oily skin, which I took into consideration and decided to proceed with my nanobrows. I am SO glad I did! Now I can roll out of bed, go to the gym, swim in a pool, sweat on a hot day and feel so much enhanced confidence with these brows (not to mention they make me look younger?) So more frequent touch ups for oily me, yes, but now I just get to see Jeanne more frequently, which is lovely! She's so easy to connect with, chat with during the process, and guide me with outcomes and expectations. Please book with her and don't wait anymore, it's wildly and entirely worth it. read more

Soft Arches Studio - before Jeanne's nanobrow work and AFTER wowee wow - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I am so grateful to have found Soft Arches Studio. I can across their IG two years ago and had been following Jeanne's work ever since. Every client looked so beautiful and natural. Finally, I decided "why not me?" and booked my first appointment. (Booking is easy, quick and instructions on before and after care are clear and concise!) I was obsessed with the results, immediately and after the healing process. I've received compliments from friends and family, some who are thinking about getting their brows done here too!! Lastly, skill and technique is so important especially when it comes to permanent and semi-permanent make-up/tattoo! But, what stands out to me about Jeanne beyond her impeccably gorgeous work is her honesty, kindness, and communication. For example, at my first session, we thoroughly discusssed my goals, I shared pictures and described best to my ability what I wanted and received feedback on what she thought would work for my face and eyes. She even discussed bone and muscle structure and how that plays into determining my brow shape and expectations. At my most recent appointment, my 8 week touch-up, when I arrived, we were both very satisfied and excited about the results of my brows at that time, that Jeanne actually told me that she thought my eyebrows didn't need a touch-up yet because 1) there wasn't much to touch-up and 2) to avoid the eyebrows from potentially looking too dark and muddy. I agreed with her because she knows I want a more natural fuller look and of course, I 100% trust her judgment. Although, she did offer to do any touch ups in any area that I personally wanted to fill in on my brows. This was so refreshing to hear because it just shows the care and caution that is put into her clients. She customizes her services to your needs and it's so worth it. read more

Soft Arches Studio - After 1st session - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I got my eyebrows done with Jeanne in July of 2024, and I highly recommend her. What i appreciated most about Jeanne was how she took the time to explain what she was doing in every step. She even explained through the different kinds of ink that you can use (if I remember correctly, she uses water based color, which seemed to work well with my skin). The drawing process felt very collaborative; she gave her suggestions without being pushy, and I was very happy with the design we came up with. Not only is she skilled at what she does, she's also a very friendly, warm person, so you're with great company during your session. It's been about 7 months since my initial session, and my eyebrows still look fresh as if I got them done recently! I will definitely be going back to her again when it's time for a color boost. read more

A long overdue review, but it also gives me a chance to speak to how my brows have held up in the 8 months since I saw Jeanne (spoiler alert: very well!!) I had never done anything except brow pencil, but really wanted to be able to leave the house without having to do that. I researched a TON of local artists, but Jeanne's work really stood out as being incredibly natural which is what I wanted. I am so glad I went to her! The experience was super pleasant, she showed me the mock up before she started any work, and she really understands one's facial structure and natural asymmetry and works to perfect your brows in the most natural way. I would highly recommend Jeanne and look forward to going in for my yearly touch up. Worth every penny! read more

This was my first time getting microblading done and I really appreciated the honest feedback I received during the consultation, as well as the actual outcome of my brows. Jeanne unni, the artist was very meticulous with every detail of my brows. She provided me extremely fine nano strokes and went above and beyond to make my brows look natural. I actually flew from Seattle to Cali to get my brows done by her. Prior to that, I have never met her. I discovered her on instagram and I just trusted my intuition. I think it was totally worth getting my brows done by Jeanne unni. I definitely recommend her if you're interested in fine, natural brow strokes that look natural. You won't be disappointed. In the photo, the bottom one is the before and the top photo is the after. read more

Soft Arches Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I went to see Jeanne recently to get nano brows done. Wow! I am so impressed with her work! I really wanted a natural look and she delivered. It was easy to book an appointment through her website and her pre-appointment instructions were very clear. Also, Jeanne is super friendly and genuine, and explained the nano brow process so well, which was helpful for me since this was the first time I ever had my eyebrows done. I also liked that she starts by drawing them out and you can work with her to make adjustments as needed. She really cares about you being happy with your brows! Furthermore, I showed pics of my eyebrows to my girlfriends who are all so impressed with how natural my brows look. They are now eager to see her too. My husband is also pleased with the look of them! I booked my touch up appointment (2 months after the initial appt). I cannot wait to see how they settle in. So far, they are so good! I am also excited for how much time this will save me in the mornings! Thank you so much, Jeanne! :) read more

Upon arrival to my nano brows session on May 23rd, it was determined that my skin texture would not be a good fit for the procedure. I told Jeanne that I appreciated her transparency and would defer to her expertise here. I did share my frustration with how late in the process this was determined, as I had followed all booking policy guidance (noting prior microblading, sending pictures of my brows via email and Instagram - which was acknowledged as received). I'm happy others have had warm and welcoming experiences with Soft Arches Studio; this was not mine - I left the studio feeling unexpectedly interrogated about my skin type/texture, and unhappy with the time wasted (for both of us). Additionally, I contacted Jeanne directly on June 7th with feedback regarding my experience, as well as a request for a refund of my deposit, which went unacknowledged/answered. read more

Jeanne is an eyebrow doctor! She is so good at what she does. She was very kind, sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. She made every effort to make sure that I loved my brows before I left her space and made sure I gave her my honest feedback after each time she tattooed my brows. I've been following Soft Arches on instagram for over 2 years and finally made an appointment as soon I was done being pregnant and nursing and I'm soooo happy that I did. I would recommend her 100% and I'm looking forward to becoming a longtime client of Jeanne :) My eyebrows are perfect and look incredibly natural. read more

Echoing all of the previous reviews: Jeanne is amazing :) Everything about the process- from initial online booking, communicating via IG, getting all questions answered promptly, settling in at her cozy and peaceful studio, figuring out a plan for my brows and getting it done- was top notch~ She not only is incredibly skillful at her craft but has this truly warm and inviting nature and will make you feel so comfortable during your visit. I cannot recommend her enough! We are so lucky she chose to go down this path of beauty & healing! Looking forward to my touch up session~ read more

She is amazing! My skin is more oily and had a little difficulty retaining pigment from the first session, but she learned my skin and what I wanted the result to look like really well and after the touch up session they are perfect! She is such a sweetheart as well and has a great eye for what will get your aesthetic while also looking super natural. Thank you!! read more

Jeanne is incredible. I have been a fan of her work for a few years and wanted to take a makeup course with her. I made a mistake and thought that I was booking a course with her in SoCal when she actually was based in Berkeley. When I realized the mistake, we quickly got on the phone and Jeanne was so accommodating to help me still make it happen. While her family was in SoCal for vacation, she generously offered to do the class here. How amazing and flexible is that?! The course was so informative. Jeanne was incredibly patient in helping me apply the makeup and I learned so much! I'm so excited to apply what I've learned into daily practice. Thanks, Jeanne! read more

Jeanne is a true artist! I couldn't be happier with my nanobrow experience with her. She listened to exactly what I was looking for (natural, fuller, straight brows). She clearly walked me through each step of the process and allowed me to take a look at my brows throughout the process so we could make adjustments if needed. Very happy with my overall results and would highly recommend! read more

Jeanne is an artist! I love my nano brows and get compliments on them all the time. People always ask what brow products I use and I happily share that I'm not wearing any- just my nano brows!

Got my brows done about a week ago and I was so impressed with the service! Jeanne took time to analyze my skin and work out the perfect brow shape and timeline for how my skin would take the pigment over two sessions. She was meticulous with the tattooing and I am so happy with the results even in a week. Would recommend to anyone who wants natural minimalist eyebrows! read more

It's very natural and I really love it. Jeanne is also very kind and professional. I recommend it as much as I am satisfied. read more

I wasn't blessed with naturally beautiful eyebrows. Filling them in with pencil, pomade, brow gel , etc has always been a challenge bc my shape is uneven and I rarely could get them looking identical - like it would look like one brow was drooping! I had been seriously contemplating getting microblading and couldn't find any place in the Bay that I was going to book a trip to LA to get them done. However, I soon discovered Jeanne of Cham Beauty Studio in Oakland! She is an absolute gem of a talent and dream to work with. I love her technique and how upfront she was with me to set my expectations of my powder brow experience (her recco was to get this done bc of my skin type and I would get the best results) Before getting into microblading / powder brows, she was a make-up artist so she is an expert on creating a brow shape that fits her clients' faces. After my appointment and I looked in the mirror, I cried tears of joy. I could not believe I finally had the brows of my dreams. I can't wait for my touch-up soon! If you're seriously considering micro lading, this is THE place to go, trust me. I heart you Jeanne, you're simply the best. read more

Soft Arches Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me

Jeanne has done my makeup multiple times, and she is the BEST makeup artist I know. Her makeup style is a great blend of Korean + American makeup. She enhances your look rather than make you look like someone else. She is great at achieving the "natural" beauty look. I also love that she doesn't cake on makeup to cover all of your flaws. She doesn't use a ton of product, but she uses good quality products in order to make sure you have naturally flawless look. I trust her 100% to make me look beautiful for my family photos/holiday parties/special occasions. I can't wait to take one of her classes because if I can perfect my makeup through her guidance, I won't need to use filter apps anymore! She is truly the best. read more

Soft Arches Studio - Here's a during ( i forgot to take a full before ) and after. - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I am SO happy with my brows! I've never done any microblading before, but Jeanne was so welcoming, sweet, and amazing at explaining what to expect throughout the process. She took into consideration my face and brow shape and how to make them look most natural and more even. I even changed my hair color in between sessions and she was able to slightly change the color of my brows to still look natural but have a bit of a warmer tone! So glad I don't have to fill them in every day anymore, they look absolutely amazing! read more

Jeanne was timely & personal. She listened to what I preferred & provided her professional opinion. The session itself was painless. The office was located above a restaurant but it was quiet, clean, and spacious. I had no issues finding parking. Looking forward to my follow up session! Thanks! read more

I was super nervous to get my eyebrows done since I had never done any kind of micro blading or anything like that before. Jeanne was awesome by answering all the questions I had beforehand and telling me how to take care of them afterwards. She was also super patient with me and guided me to get the best shape for my face. I would 100 percent recommend her and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Soft Arches Studio - Results After touch up session - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I took a full face make up class with Jeanne and had a great time! She really takes the time to explain the different techniques and I've been able to use a lot of the tips and suggestions even after the class. I would describe myself as someone who likes and buys a lot of makeup but could never figure out the proper way to apply it (even after watching online videos). However, after the virtual class with Jeanne, I've been able to easily recreate the look and add/subtract to it depending on the day. Through the initial consultation, Jeanne recommended products and colors that would work for an everyday makeup look and I love the results! Can't wait to take another class in the future. read more

Jeanne was a godsend!! I was on a time crunch for my wedding and it just happened that she had an opening for my wedding date. I didn't hesitate to make an appointment for myself, my mom, and sister. I was so thankful for her dedication, skills, and desire to get to know her customers. She has a great sense of a blended western+Korean makeup style. There was a mandatory trial session where she really helped me hone what I wanted for my wedding look. We tried and talked over multiple looks before setting on the final. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future formal events or photoshoots! read more

How lucky was I to have found Jeanne! She is a true artist. I had very sparse eyebrows due to medical treatment. Jeanne started with a conservative approach and used microblading and light shading to give me eyebrows! It looked so natural after just one visit. I was receiving compliments that my brows looked great! Jeanne has a good eye and perfected the shape and overall look of my brows with two touch up sessions. She was explaining what may look natural for my face shape and features. She took everything into consideration. And to top it off, Jeanne has a wonderful heart and I was the recipient of her giving program. Did I mentioned how lucky I am to have found Jeanne? read more

Growing up as a teen in the 90's, thin eye brows was the trend. Overplucking left me with little to no eyebrows, so I have been thinking about microblading for a while now but was too chicken to take the leap. Jeannie was a perfect match b/c she really eased me into it and involved me in every step of the process and had me check to make sure I was happy with with the shape/size, keeping me within my comfort zone while offering up her thoughts and ideas. It made what I thought would be a scary process, very easy. So pleased with the outcome. It looks so natural and has really shortened my morning routine. Not sure why I waited this long! Highly recommend her! read more

If you are looking to get your makeup done for a special occasion, photoshoot or just to feel beautiful, I HIGHLY recommend Jeanne. She is so talented and knows the right amount of makeup and look for you to make you feel both comfortable and fabulous. I've gotten my makeup done by Jeanne twice, once as a lucky winner of one of her makeup giveaways and the second time for my son's first birthday. I was so impressed with the way she was able to cover up my dark spots and skin flaws yet make me look so natural and help to really accentuate my features. I received so many compliments from friends and family, including my mom, I wish I could've taken credit for it myself! Jeanne is a true artist. My wish is that she could do my makeup for me everyday! Since that won't be happening, my next step is to sign up for one of her makeup classes so I can get some of her makeup genius! read more

I had micro blading done several yrs ago and was long due for a touch up. I hated how my color faded to a red shade from a wrong color match so when I saw that the talented Jeanne from Cham Beauty was going to be in town for a pop up, I got so excited and jumped on the opportunity. She was so attentive and carefully examined what procedure would be the best fit, we decided on the combo powder + microblade and I LOVE & so relieved with the results. The color is back to my natural shade and the shape accentuates & looks natural at the same time. She also carefully explained the aftercare procedure and healed so fast. Jeanne is an expert at what she does and I would highly recommend and trust her with anything brow & beauty related. read more

Soft Arches Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me

I have been contemplating about getting my eyebrows done for years. I never liked the very sharp, stenciled look so I waited years before finally committing. I know Jeanne as a person and beauty consultant, so I trust her knowledge and style trends. Jeanne at Cham Beauty Studio is an expert at natural beauty and her technique with microblading makes your natural face look done without any additional makeup.

Soft Arches Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me

As I hit my 40's by brows have been disappearing. I have pondered microblading but have always been hesitant but some of the work I have seen on social media. Then came along Jeanne's ad and combing through her work, I knew she was for me. I reached out right away and booked! Her studio is so bright and pretty as is she! Jeanne really took her time perfecting the look before she actually began the microblading as any great artist should. I felt confident it was going to turn out great because her focus was making sure I was happy with where we were headed but also that it would work on me, not just the latest trend. I wanted natural and that is what I got! I walked out feeling happy! I have recommended Jeanne to many and I hope they book! read more

Finally there's a place in the Bay that can deliver the service I usually find in Los Angeles or Seoul. I wanted to get my eyebrows microbladed and Jeanne is as thoughtful as she is talented in shaping and understanding the entire geometry of your face. Highly recommend you come to Cham Beauty. You come away with not just awesome eyebrows but a better knowledge of your proportions too! Thank you! read more

So happy with my eyebrows! I've been on the fence for years for my brows and finally did it bc I loved all the work Jeanne has done. We first met when she did my makeup for a high profile event. Every brow sample I've seen looks natural and nicely enhances the face. Like natural looking but finished/polished. So I did it and am so happy!!!! I love waking up and dropping my kids off without any effort early in the morning and not feeling like a hot mess. If you want your brows to be stepped but but still natural looking she is your girl 100x. She's in LA/OC and Bay Area. read more

First timer in microblading. Jeanne achieved the look I was going for since my eyebrows thinned out so much after years of plucking and waxing. Initial consultation was through email, which worked well because I only needed to send her a pic of my brows and description if I had dry/oily skin. Appointment took 2.5 hrs. Most of the session was figuring what shape I wanted to achieve and her input on what works for my face shape. Once numbed up I barely felt anything. Even took a quick nap! Eyebrows were perfectly shaped. Very natural. It looked exactly how my eyebrows were prior to all the waxing/plucking but with shape. After about a week the dark tint faded a bit making my brows look more blended into my natural hairs. I'm glad I went with Jeanne for my first microblading. She takes the time to work with you on achieving the perfect shape but also giving feedback on what works or won't work for you. Looking forward to how my brows look after touch up. read more

I took a virtual makeup class with Jeanne and she is amazing! She makes the best product recommendations and receiving a buy list of personalized products/colors was SO helpful. Her explanations and techniques are very easy to understand and she points out exactly which techniques are unique to your features. The lesson was worth every penny; it was such a great pick-me-up and Jeanne's customized advice saves you so much time/money versus trying to do everything on your own! She's also the sweetest person ever :) Thanks again Jeanne!! read more
