I used to have very nice full eyebrows, however during my time serving in the US Army, wearing an ACH (advanced combat helmet) took its toll from scraping on them and eventually ended up permanently thinning them. Thanks to Rachelle I actually look like myself again and have my confidence back. She did a great service for a disabled veteran! I have read some of the negative reviews some claim these are permanent, and I sure as hell hope they are because I love them. Up close it actually looks like actual hair, she actually puts thought into placement making the ink flow with the natural growth of your eyebrows. She works very neatly and has a very friendly, bubbly personality, aside from doing excellent work; she is very personable. As for credibility, I am actually a beauty professional, (I've been licensed since 2010) and as cosmetologist I know what I'm talking about, Rachelle is excellent. read more

Been coming here for years. Rachelle is amazing at what she does and is sooo sweet. The last time I went, she worked around my schedule to squeeze me in. I believe I first had my eye brows done by her in 2020 or 2021. I get a touch up every 1 to 2 years since my eyebrows still look so good. read more

Rachelle did a great job helping choose a color for my lip blush and performing the procedure. These are pics throughout the month to show how the healing process went and how the color held up. Thank you! I'll definitely be back at touch up time. I also had my top lid eyeliner done which was a great experience. I've had it in the past and will definitely be back for my touch ups. read more

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love Rachelle Monzon!!! She is an amazing artist. I got my brows down by her in December of 2020. It is now 2024 and my brows are still poppin'. Yes, I did make and go to every follow up appointment (you have to schedule them yourself). Here is what the follow up looks like ... after 2 weeks to 30 days you come in for the free touch up, IF you need it. I came in irregardless. Although I did want them darker. Then I scheduled the next appointments in between the times listed. I tried to hold it out to the farthest month. 2-6 months $100 ($25.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment) 6-12 months $150 ($25.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment) 12-18 months $225 ($50.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment) After 18 months: initial fee procedure all over again. Her fees for 2024 are below. 3D Microblading: first initial fee: $450 Ombre Shading: first initial fee: $450 Microblading/Shading Combo fee: $500 I had the Microblading/Shading Combo done. Rachelle is so welcoming. She makes you feel comfortable and in the zone. And she is right.... You wake up looking and feeling younger with brows . Her office is super clean. She is super clean and let me not forget to point out how cute it is. She's currently located at Crossroads in Torrance off of Chrenshaw Blvd inside of Phoenix Salons. I was recommended by a friend. You get what you pay for and I definitely recommend. I honestly don't think getting the stained brows.... Eventually you are paying more than you would have if you would have just went for it and got the semi-permanent tattoo on your brows. You are numbed. It wasn't uncomfortable for me but I have a pretty high pain tolerance. And again, you're numb. You don't feel a thing afterward at all. By day three, your brows are itchy. DON'T scratch!!! Follow her directions and you will be fine. Don't apply retinols because the work she does will fade. Don't be a cheapo and pay for the touch ups. You will be glad that you did in the long run. Your brows will look crazy dark on the first 7 days.... Don't freak out. That's not even close to what your brows will look like. If you are on the fence about this.... This is your sign to go see Rachelle and book your appointment. ​ read more

Rachelle is very artistic and listened carefully to my input. She has done my brows twice. She made sure both times to communicate clearly about what to expect. I am very happy with my results and highly recommend her services. read more

Let's start off by saying I had my thoughts on should I get them done for 4 years. I searched and searched & looked at pictures of different peoples work and Social Media. After so much research I can across Rachelle and I did my homework and I reached out to her. I had so many questions and doubts on what I didn't want and the whole thing. When I went in and had decided on what we were going to do I was for sure nervous but she reassured me we were going to do something natural and soft strokes so it looks natural. The process was pretty fast but very detailed & she does numb you so that way it's no pain whatsoever. I can tolerate pain but this was basically a 0/10 you can hear the little scrape noise but doesn't hurt. I don't wear make up on a daily basis so just having the brows done was a big game changer. It changed my look so much and I loved it because my brows were very thin and didn't have many and had no shape whatsoever. Overall experience was very professional with all the things she is using including her mask, utensils, string & gloves. I love that you are chatting up and it feels like you are hanging with your girlfriend on the comfy set up she has. If you are contemplating getting your brows done def check her out. You won't be disappointed! read more

I initially went to Rochelle in 2017 for microblading and had a great experience with her. I actually did not return for a touch up after the recommended 18-24 months as my brows were in pretty good shape. Yes I did get the blurred lines that some have complained about but my brows were faded that no one could tell. I decided to go back a couple of weeks ago as my brows are completely faded and my bald spots are now visible. Rachelle was very responsive when I asked if she can redo them after 7 years. She was so sweet and accommodating. The second time around I immediately noticed improvements on the microblading process and in Rochelle's skills. The numbing cream worked so well that I had to ask if she had already started lol. She is very engaging during the whole appointment and time flew by. When it was all said and done, I was left with a set of fresh brows. I'm currently on around day 10 of the healing process and I'm already getting compliments on the brows. And I haven't even done the final retouch. I'm very happy with the results and I look forward to seeing the final result after the retouch. read more

Love Rachelle. She is professional and I loved my brows for years (annual touch up required and so worth it)

I recently scheduled an appointment with Rachelle for an eyebrow tattoo, and I'm genuinely looking forward to the experience. From our first communication, she was prompt, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Her portfolio speaks volumes--her work is precise, natural-looking, and consistently beautiful. Based on everything I've seen and read, I feel confident that I'm in excellent hands. I'm looking forward to my appointment with Rachelle! read more

I wanted to retouch on my eyebrows on certain areas ,due to not having hair there. I've searched for several places around LA and after few appointments, I've chose to go with Rochelle for the following reasons. She showed me exactly what it would look like and what I should expect in the weeks to come. Very attentive and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get their eyebrows done read more

I've been getting my eyebrows microbladed for many years at a very pricey salon and was due for a touch up. Since I moved to the South Bay, spending hours going to Beverly Hills and back no longer made sense. I found Rachelle through a FB recommendation and I'm so happy I did. She's so sweet and thorough and puts in so much effort into making the process comfortable. I love the fact that she focused just on me the entire time, with no disruptions. Best of all, I love the results! This was the first time in post-op where the brows just kept looking better and better with time. No flaking and patchy-looking brows during the healing process. Post op instructions were easier and much more effective than what I was used to at the other salon (ie, Tegaderm use for showers, etc). I'm very happy I finally found my go-to eyebrow place in Torrance. read more

I wanted to give my experience of Rachell's work I had in 2020-2021 because I'm in the process of saline removal that is costing me so much money, I find myself feeling extremely disappointed. My first session with Rachell in 2020 was really great and I was very happy. They faded about a year and 3 months later so I made a touch up appointment. All went well, but I did notice they were a little bit darker than the first time. After they healed, they were much darker but they didn't look bad. I just remember telling myself that I would let them fade as much as possible before getting another touch up. That was in 2021. 3 years later, instead of a gradual overall fade, the tails of my eyebrows became spotty and uneven and they also turned into an ash grey color (my natural hair color is dark brown). I finally found another brow artist and during my consult, she told me that they were in fact microbladed too deep. Basically, Rachell tattooed my eyebrows and this was as faded as it was going to get. I'm sure at the time, Rachell was doing what she thought was best, but unfortunately for me, it was not her best work and I was ultimately left with really un-natural looking eyebrows that were never going to fade. I wouldn't be able to fix them without removing or lightening them first and now it's costing me $200 per session (5 sessions needed - 2 sessions in) for saline removal and it's actually more painful and the healing process take two weeks with scabbing each time. If you're considering getting your brows done with Rachell or any artist, I suggest looking at healed and post touch up photos before making your decision. Photos of microbladed brows immediately after the session always look so amazing and perfect but I think that can be deceiving. read more

Rachel was everything I was looking for in a brow technician! She automatically knew what looked right for me. And did an amazing job!! read more

South Bay Brows - First day of eye brow appointment - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Torrance, California

I have to say I am floored! My brows are very uneven (one is lower than the other) one is thinner than the other. I've had my brows micro-bladed before and it was a joke. Waited 2 years for it to fade and found Rachelle! Rachelle was so much fun to chat with. She educated me on the techniques, what she envisioned for my brows, and listened to my concerns about my brows. (I want the crown of the brows to be symmetrical). She was able to give me hope but be realistic about my expectations. But SHE DELIVERED! It was better than I thought it would be. She was honest, due to my oily skin there is a risk it may not stick, or I will need to come for more touch ups than a person with regular skin. It's been a few months, the microblading did fade as she explained. However, the shading has stuck. Definitely going back to her! read more

Rachelle did such amazing work on my eyebrows -- I wish I had worked with her years ago! I had very light eyebrows before and was tired of having to fill them in myself every day. I went to South Bay Brows wanting something natural, and Rachelle knocked it out of the park. I get so many compliments on my brows, saying how they look like my own but shape my face so well. Highly recommend coming here for microblading! read more

Been wanting to get my eyebrows micro-bladed for a while and I'm very glad I did... I did a lot of research to find someone local to south bay who had lots of experience and found Rachelle. Rachelle did a phenomenal job and my life has gotten so much more now that I don't have to draw my eyebrows every morning! She was very diligent and helpful in explaining exactly what would look good on my face and she mapped out how my new brows would look on my face. She was very thoughtful in making sure the area was fully numbed before starting the procedure. Her office space was clean, cute and comfortable. If you are wanting to get your brows done, I'd highly recommend South Bay Brows! Thanks Rachelle for such a wonderful experience!! read more

I got microblading done in 2018 at South Bay Brows. I loved them at first. She told me my brows would completely fade after two years, which did not happen at all. Please beware this is a PERMANENT TATTOO and WILL NOT COMPLETELY FADE... EVER. Overtime, the tattoo turned grey and the lines blurred into each other making it look solid. You MUST think of this as a permanent tattoo on your face. Starting this year, 2021, I've undergone 4 treatments of saline microblading tattoo removal ($900 spent so far) to get rid of my brows and they have hardly faded. I fear these will permanently be on my face forever unless I get laser tattoo removal which may also remove my hair... read more

I first had my brows done somewhere else but didn't have a touch up appointment. I went to see Rachelle about a year after. At first, my experience was great. She looked at my photos and stated my brows retained its shape, therefore was willing to do just a touch up. My touch up was good but missed a few spots. I notified her. She brought me in for a touch up from her work to fill in the spots. As you can see from the 3rd photo, the touch up didn't work. I texted Rachelle about 3 weeks after my 2nd appointment with her and expressed my concerns kindy. Unfortunately, she just flat out ghosted me. I reached out to her 5 days ago and radio silence...I am so disappointed! I am in the service industry myself and would never just ghost a client like this. At the very least, she could've responded to me and tell me she either didn't want to do another touch up or she was going to charge me. I will not be going back to her nor will I refer anyone to her. read more

Love love love my microbladed brows. It's great being able to go out in the rain without worrying about my brows washing off I cannot recommend enough! read more

I got my brow micro shaded instead of micro bladed on the recommendation of Rachelle because I still have brows but the hairs were fine and light. So glad I did it! I now have brows when I wake up and don't have to do much with them even when I do put make on. I even brought my mom to get her brows done. She had her brows tattooed years ago but we're fading. She was also happy with the results. Highly recommend South Bay Brows. Rachelle is very professional and listens to her clients. Will be contacting her again for my next touch up. read more

My mom was looking to get her brows done for the first time. Found South Bay Brows here on Yelp. Read all the reviews so I decided to take her here. I must say my mom and I were so impressed how professional Rachelle is. She was so easy to talk to and you can tell she really knows a lot about permanent makeup. Before getting started, she went over the healing process and after care. That definitely ease our mind. After getting them done, they start off a little darker, but once healed they healed amazing!!! So soft and natural like how my mom envisioned. It's been a couple years now (she got it done in 2021) and it still looks amazing! My mom has naturally dark hair but it still looks soft. Definitely recommend South Bay Brows if you want amazing result! read more

It was my first time to have my eyebrows done. Rachelle was very warm and walked me through the procedure and what to expect. Well... she did a very good job, beyond my expectation. I love the result, she did the Amber Shading on me because she knows that is what is best for me. I would surely recommend her to my friends. read more

I had no idea that my eyebrows could look this good. Rachelle is an artist and took her time to make them perfect! I was a special case, as I had to have my previous EB tattoos lasered off, so that Rachelle could fix them. I am so glad I found her. A++++ read more

Uhhh-mazing!!! Getting my eyebrows microbladed by Rachelle has been the best thing I've done for myself and I wish I did it sooner! I used to be so self continuous about having no brows and used to always have to wear makeup to get out of the house. Well, I don't have to worry about that anymore!! The whole process was fast, fantastic and Rachelle is incredibly sweet! She recommended combo brows and they look so natural and beautiful. I know getting semi permanent makeup can be nerve wracking but rest assured you're in good hands and best believe Rachelle does an amazing job!! Totally recommend!!! read more

Came to South Bay Brows a year ago to get my brows done and find out Rachelle does lip blush too so I did both. A year later both lips and brows still looks amazing. I get so many compliments and always recommend South Bay Brows. Rachelle is definitely a perfectionist and will make sure you're happy with the result. Also, I love how she tends to be conservative. Won't regret getting permanent makeup done at South Bay Brows! read more

Disclaimer! I haven't had services YET! This review is solely based off of customer service that Rachelle has given me. :) In search of a touch up, I was nervous! I searched high and low for someone. I sent pictures, messages, read reviews, looked through websites and it seemed like I wasn't going to be able to find someone. It's difficult to find someone that is going to take on non-virgin brows. Low and behold -- my prayers were answered. I came across Rachelle's work. After looking at some photos, I contacted her. I showed her some photos of my brows, and after some chatting, I agreed to come in for a consultation. Upon arriving, Rachelle was so incredibly welcoming, sweet, and informative. ALL the questions and worries that I had? BAM-BAM! She answered them. She asked me a few questions and it geared the consultation of my brows. I really have to say -- I really am looking forward to getting my brows done but service alone, she's impeccable. I'm really happy with the time that she took to explain the procedure, show me the difference between strokes of microblading and shading, and thoroughness of the consult. See ya soon, Rachelle! read more

Your brow search is over! This is your girl. This is my third time micro blading. Hands down best one. Rachelle is meticulous with her mapping. Great communication with desired look, and actually suggested something a little different to what I usually do (what she believed would look better) and she nailed it. I'm only 24 hours post appointment and already getting major compliments! And if you know micro blading, you know the first few days are the funky looking days. Can't wait to see them healed and follow up with my touch up appointment. As a side note, she is a lovely person and we had a great chat for the whole appointment which makes it go a little faster. I found her on Yelp so I'm paying it forward for the next brow freak scouring reviews for some assurance ;) Oh one last thing, virtually pain free! Which is rare for me. read more

I trust this place! I have it done over 2 years ago. I have relocated 2 hour drive and still come here for touch ups! I trust her very well! Love my eyebrows! Just know we all have different type of skin and heal different. See you soon Rachelle! read more

I wish I never came to this place. My decision was based on phots and good reviews on Yelp...worst decision I ever made. I had micro blading done in 2021 and also did a touchup session. Rachelle used permanent black ink, which was not explained to me during consultation. I spent $700 so far trying to remove but not much progress. As it faded my brows turned grey and looks so unnatural. When I reached out to Rachelle she couldn't offer any solution but asked me if I wanted to put brown color to cover, WTF! Please BE AWARE. Read other low rated reviews, something I should've done :( read more

Rachelle does a great job! I used to be so self conscious about my barely there brows. Now they look full and I feel so much more confident. read more

So, this review is well past due. I saw Rachelle about 6 months ago and I can't believe I waited this long to get this done. My barely there brows compared to how they look now is truly astonishing. Now that I'm use to the shape and color, I'm thinking of going slightly larger in shape, which is exactly what Rachelle said would happen. I'm going to be contacting her for a touch-up and see what we can do to widen the row some. I'm super excited! Just a few tips. Listen to the care instructions. Don't get them wet, and take care of them the first few weeks. Prepare for the ups and downs emotionally. As odd as it sounds, the first few days were rough. My face felt gross because I couldn't fully wash it, and my brows looked like Groucho. But, after my second touch-up and being able to wash my face everything came together. And don't pick when/if you peel! So, with that, I would totally recommend Rachelle and her office. She's super patient and takes her time with you, which is important when I had moments of doubt. read more
