My first visit to Tami was for brow tinting and shaping. After driving around the building parking area for a while in the hopes of actually finding her location I finally texted her and got directions and found her beautiful salon on the second floor. Her space is quiet and soothing and impeccably decorated. Tami quickly cleaned up and tinted my brows - I'm fair/blonde/blue-eyed so the color is always a bit tricky - too dark and I'm Clara Delevingne - too light and I'm, well, invisible brow woman. And I wear contacts so my attempts at "grooming" my brows is actually laughable. I've now got "brow style and color" that looks great all the time! I was so pleased with her brow work that I returned for the lash tint/perm - that's right - I went all out! It was definitely a new experience - lash perming! - who knew? But the end result is AMAZING. I've now got some dark long lashes, great brows and am really hoping she can tattoo my lips (just kidding - I think - is that a thing too?!)! I can now put my hair up and roll out the door in less than five minutes. I'm scheduling my ongoing standing appointments now! read more

Tami is simply the best! I have been going to her for a while now to get my lashes permed. She is always so friendly, very professional, and does a fantastic job. I've been to other salons but the quality is never anywhere close to Tami's. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Tami is the BEST--not only is she great at what she does and knows her stuff, but she's also super sweet, friendly, charismatic, and a beautiful woman inside and out! I struggled using my broken and borderline illiterate knowledge of salon terminology, accentuated with a flurry of exemplary hand motions to explain to her the type of curl I'm used to getting, and from my brief, 20 second explanation, Tami figured out exactly which rod to use to achieve the type of curl I wanted. For someone who has been hooked on getting my eyelashes permed for the last two years, I probably should've prepared ahead of time and just brought a picture. For those of you contemplating between a perm and extensions, I am personally a huge fan of the perm--its such a convenient, painless, no-hassle way to fabulous lashes! I wear contacts everyday, have super sensitive eyes and skin around my eyes, but lash perms work sooo well for me and my lifestyle. What happens is you lie on a bed, the technician has you close your eyes, they cover the skin around your eyes with protective pads, clean your lashes with a clean mascara wand, carefully apply perm solution to your lashes, then wrap your lashes over a particular type of rod to achieve your desired curl. After all of that, you literally lie there with your eyes closed for 45 minutes to an hour to wait for the perm solution to activate the curl, then the technician carefully removes excess perm solution from your lashes, removes the rods and protective pads from your skin, and sometimes applies clear mascara gel to hold the perm in place. It is ok to apply mascara to your lashes immediately after the perm, but if you really want the curl to last, do NOT wet your lashes for the 24 hours immediately after the perm. The perm lasts as long as your natural lash cycle (lashes grow, fall out, & and replaced with new ones), which from my own experience, varies from individual to individual. It was my first time at this location and first time getting a lash perm again after a three month hiatus, meaning my thin Asian lashes, though pretty long in length, were naturally pin-straight and incapable of holding a curl to save its life, per usual. That day, I also happened to have been on less than an hour's worth of sleep the night before, super stressed out and exhausted, received bad news literally five minutes before I walked in the door, got there seven minutes late, and figured I'd take the opportunity to snag a kitty nap while waiting for my lashes to perm as I usually do when I get them done. That all changed when I walked in the door. The location is dark with its black painted walls, but lit well enough that its cozy, not creepy, and Tami greeted me with this huge, friendly smile. I ended up voluntarily giving up the nap I promised myself and left an hour later not only LOVING my lashes, but in an unexpectedly great mood after my long conversation turned heart-to-heart with Tami. I normally don't open up to people easily, especially upon meeting a person for the first time, but somehow small talk turned into us gushing about our families, relationships, love lives, and values for the full time I was there. She didn't need to, but gave me a hug before I left. It didn't feel like I went in to get a service done--it literally felt like I was hanging out with a close gf who happened to be helping me perm my lashes! Other than my unique experience with Tami, I encountered two minor differences between this location and the others that I've gone to for lash perms: 1. Including my 20% tip, the service cost me ~$70, which is ~$10 pricier than other Hawaii locations I've been to, but worth the small difference in price. 2. They use one of those adjustable lab lights above your eyes, similar to a small version of the ones in dental offices above the patient chair, probably to ensure meticulous perfection in the perm prep process to achieve the curl you want. I appreciate this attention to detail, but I personally did not like the extreme brightness of the light, even with my eyes closed. This was the only location where I experienced the technician using a light like this--every other place I've been to was lit with natural or fluorescent lighting. I uploaded a picture collage of my lashes before my perm (top picture), several days after my perm without any mascara or makeup (middle picture--aren't my lashes sooo thin?!), and several days after my perm with my favorite mascara combo (bottom picture). Don't they look great with the perm and mascara?! I'm sooo happy with how flirty and lavishly long they look and feel! (And if you're wondering, I do not use "fiber" or "3D" mascara--I use a combination of the "Falsies" mascara in the purple tube & Loreal Telescopic in the silver tube :) read more

ONE LINE: Goodbye, eyelash curler! PERM: I have really straight, hard to curl lashes--the kind where you curl (really good) and they unfurl almost instantly! Oh well. I also used to have extensions (which I loved) but I couldn't keep up with the re-lashing. As soon as I looked into the mirror after Tami did her magic, I'm hooked! OMG NO MORE EYELASH CURLER YES! LASHES: Tami is so so so sweet. She was very clear about telling me what she was doing and what to expect. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all during the whole procedure--actually, when she's swirling things around your eyelids, it's really really relaxing. I could have fallen asleep (and I wouldn't have been the only one! Haha). We talked story during the entire thing (budget an hour and 15 minutes, at least)! She uses Japanese products and she was very very very gentle--it does feel a little strange at first because she's rearranging your lashes but there was no pain or stinging at all. The curl of my lashes, itself, is Goldilocks perfect--not too crazy curly and they're definitely not anything close to straight. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. PS: Tami is located in 401 Kamakee, within Reneux Med and Day Spa. The facility is really clean and modern, I really like it! (It's also located within walking distance of South Shore Market, hint parking hint) I made my initial appointment request through Yelp but it's so easy to text her for her schedule. The table/bed thing had a knee support (THE BEST) and it can get kind of chilly but she has a blanket! read more

I had a great time talking to Tami while she did my lashes, I got a partial lash with perm. The pricing is great. If it lasts 4-6 weeks during my trip, I feel it was worth it. read more

Tami Mitchell - Before and after photos. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tami is the best! Not only do my normally straight lashes look lifted, curled and amazing, the entire procedure was comfortable and enjoyable. Tami is the sweetest and i felt instantly at ease minutes into my first appointment . If you're doubtful or have anxiety about new places or people, this is definitely not the time! Book with her, go, enjoy/relax, and leave with a perfect set of lifted lashes. read more

I've always wanted to have my lashes permed but was too nervous. I went to see Tami and it was wonderful! The whole experience from beginning to end was so comfortable & relaxing. She talked me through each step explaining what she was doing & why she does it. She even put this soothing collagen mask under my eyes that felt so good.  After it was done, which took just about an hour, my lashes were amazing!! It was perfectly curled & they looked full and long. It's now been four weeks & they still look awesome. The price is totally affordable so that makes it so easy to maintain too.  Can't wait to go back and try something else now! read more

My wife came back from some beauty salon and I thought it was our daughter. I couldn't tell what she had done but she looked like when we were first dating. I can't believe the change.! I'm gonna need to post a pic of my wife and daughter because they look like sisters. I'm ashamed to say that I'm actually looking forward to take her out for dinner, functions, and dancing. My wife just smiled and said she owes it to Tami. read more

Tami is absolutely wonderful! She responds to appointment requests very promptly and is always accommodating. My lashes look great and I am extremely happy with the results. She makes the hour appointment relaxing and the time goes by quickly. I will definitely come back again. read more

I have wanted to tattoo my eyebrows for years, but feared I would end up with undesirable effects. I went to see Tami just as a consult. She spent time explaining her process drew on several options with pencil till we found they perfect brow for my face. My second fear was the pain... but with her topical numbing cream and gentle hand it was virtually painless. I left her office with eyebrows more beautiful then I imagined. A major plus even after just one day no one could notice they were tattooed.. however I got lots of compliments on how good I looked... the fact the we're tattooed will be our little secret. read more

this was my first visit to any eyelash enhancement place in hawai'i, and it by far exceeded all the expectations i had. tami is a wonderful, insightful individual who knows her craft and knows it well. she explained the way process clearly and precisely. she is also the only eyelash artist that during my appointment we had a constant conversation going. her amiability is beyond measure and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. i can't wait to schedule my next appointment. i promise you - you won't regret seeing her as a client. read more

Tami Mitchell - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Oh My! Why haven't I reviewed Tami sooner? There are numerous reasons I see Tami for my eyelash perm! I've actually followed Tami from her previous salon. The service she provides is top-notch! First, your eyes feel glued-shut for about an hour and Tami will sit and talk and make you feel very comfortable during that time. Her personality is very likable; she is a beautiful soul. Second, her hours are very accommodating to my "life" schedule. She works on the weekends - Perfect! Third, my lashes always look great! Perfectly spread apart and super flirty, without any kinked or crisscrossed lashes. Highly recommend! read more

Tami! I've been going to BeautiGoddess for years for my eyelash perms and I love Liz. I couldn't get an appointment with Liz so I tried tami because if Liz trusts her then so do I. Tami is great, very friendly and I love the conversations we have. she's very gentle and I never feel uncomfortable. she also does partial lash extensions for me (an add on for perm) and I love how natural and subtle they are (yet glam!) - I'm not much into the heavy fake lash look for everyday. I love it and my perms always last for weeks even when the extensions are gone (they last weeks too but I'm very rough with my eyes haha). I genuinely look forward to my lash appointments, I feel like it's an hour or so I can actually relax ! read more

Getting ready to go on a short tour with my band and decided my eyebrows were out of control and needed a trim. Texted Tami and she didn't make me feel weird, and she got me in that weekend. Her place is clean and comfortable for a guy (not too girly). She trimmed my eyebrows and also waxed them and suggested I tint my eyelashes too. I was skeptical (cuz I'm a GUY), but thought why not. I gotta say, I was surprised at the difference the eyebrow waxing and eyelash tinting made. I looked better, cleaner, and not tired. I also looked younger in photos which I was not expecting. And I actually got complimented on my nice eyes on the trip, that hasn't happened in about 20 years, haha! read more

I recently went to Tami to fix a scar that left a very noticeable white line running through my left eyebrow that I have had since I was a small child. She did such a good job not only darkening the scar but making my eyebrows look fuller and more uniform and beautiful. It was much faster and more comfortable than I expected it to be (it was my first tattoo; I was pretty scared!) and it was only about a 2 on a scale of 1-10 as far as pain! I am so pleased with how it turned out that I made an appointment with her to get my eyeliner done as well! :) oh yeah, did I mention she works weekends?! Tami is AWESOME! Update: I just came back from my eyeliner appointment and it looks so fantastic! Its natural-looking and I feel so happy knowing that I can do one less thing when I get up in the morning. It only took two hours, and I was comfortable the whole time. The studio got a little chilly, so I recommend bringing a jacket. It was once again an outstanding experience! read more

This morning I went in to see Tami and got my very first eyelash perm! I was a little nervous. I hardly wear makeup and want to keep my look very natural. But Tami assured me that she would create a curl that would enhance and highlight my eyes, and not make me look like a surprised doll. And she was right! In about an hour and a half, she created lovelier lashes than I had ever been able to create with a lash crimper or mascara (which I hate anyway). And now, they're going to be like that when I wake up in the morning for the next couple of months - how cool is that! Thank you Tami! read more

I just had my lash permed by Tami awhile ago and just never had time to get them done again until today! Tami is just wonderful!!! She is so pleasant and so gentle with her hands that I can barely feel what she is doing. I've had my lashes permed many times when I was living in Japan but when I moved back to Hawaii I could not find a good place to get my lashes permed. After trying a few well known salons, it was a very big disappointment!!! Lashes over processed.....too curly to the point the tips of my lashes were kinky and a little frizzy.....a bunch of my lashes were pulled out when they removed the perm rods, leaving me with a bald spot!!! This will never happen with Tami Perming your lashes!!! She is very meticulous, and very careful and just knows what she is doing!!! I wouldn't go to anyone else but Tami!!! Oh, she does add on partial extensions to a lash perm which is also fantastic when you want just a little bit more glamour! Not too much but just enough!! She also does cosmetic tattooing and that will be my next thing to get done by Tami!!! As a fellow esthetician I would only go to someone I trust, with an artistic eye and skillful hands!!! My brows and eyes are waiting Tami read more

Tami is an amazing woman. we both had great convos even tho we said to much. Even tho we didn't get to link up from our first appt, she understood and still gave me a chance to come to her. All and all, she's amazing and I can't wait to come back jus to chat with her. Your work was AMAZING & relaxing. read more
