A few years ago I struggled with alopecia, I managed to recover but lost my eyebrows in the battle. For months I drew them on every day and constantly struggled. My sister mentioned eyebrow tattoos and I was skeptical. I did some research online and came across Tuyen's studio and thought I'd give it a try. I am so happy I did! Tuyen knows her eyebrows! Her little studio in the basement of her home is very inviting and clean and when it came to drawing my eyebrows she was a perfectionist about it. She fussed over every little stroke and explained everything she was doing. I had my first treatment over a year ago, the appointment took quite some time as she designed how the brows should look, once complete the brows are very dark and after a week or so faded by about 25-30% lighter, as Tuyen said they would. I went back 3 months later for my free touch up, where to darkened them a little for me to ensure the color suited my hair color. Since then, no one has noticed my eyebrows are not real and it is so refreshing not needing to do any work with them, no additional makeup, no plucking, I just get up every day and go! I've been very good about minimizing the amount of exfoliation I do on the brows and I ensure I wear sunscreen every day (as recommended by Tuyen), so when it came time for my annual touch up, the brows had not faded very much on me (everyone's skin tone and reaction to tattoo ink is different, mine seems to do well at retaining the color). The annual touch up was very quick and Tuyen again was in perfectionist mode ensuring her work was done properly. I get tons of compliments on the work she did and I'm happy to continue going back to her. Do note, she's a busy lady, because she's GOOD, so do ensure you book your appointments well in advance, she's worth the effort! read more

The Face Studio / Tuyen, who I call the eyebrow queen!!! Without her I would not love waking up or walking around or going places without make up. Her eyebrows if not complete my face but makes my face!!! So easy and zero effort when going on vacations or swimming or camping and still look amazing with zero make up! My eyebrows are my fave features on my fave thanks to the face studio. She has only been the only person I would ever trust to tattoo my face! Her place of business is super aseptic with a very meditating/ relaxing energy. Her manner and professionalism is top notch, she will make sure you not only get an amazing set of eyebrows but one that perfectly fits your facial shape/angles/ and shades. Her technique and skills with 3D feathering is flawless! Both my sister and I have been going to her for 4 years. We started with thinner style and have been going back every year for our yearly touch ups and have tried to go thicker. She is always open and is pleased to create the eye brows of your dreams but will give needed advice when the dream brows are not realistic or fitting for the face! She is true to her skills and craft. She will never create eyebrows just to give anyone eyebrows but create one specifically and costumed to your face! She is always available via text and always willing to change or squeeze appointments when fitting to mine and my sisters unpredictable schedules. She has amazing before and afters on her fb and Instagram which speak for themselves and I always Create and super proud to show my before and after to everyone! Nothing will ever compare to her artistry and skills and I am already looking forward to my next touch up with her!!! If your curious to see my before and after as proof ... I have posted my before and touch up pics on here. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Tuyen and her art. I call it art, as I truly believe it is. Tuyen is passionate about her work, she loves it and if you go to see her, you will understand what I mean. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but her studio is very hygienic and comfortable. I had shaved most of my bushy eyebrows off in my teens when very thin eyebrows were in. Little did I know, in my case, they would not grow back. I basically have no eyebrows, have never plucked as nothing there. I finally got brave enough 5 years ago to have my eyebrows tattooed. It just made them worse, seemed to make it even more noticeable that I had no eyebrow hair, they eventually turned a red/pink color and I spent 15 minutes , twice a day trying to cover the red and it would wear off as the day went on. My eyebrows have always made me feel so insecure and I always wear bangs to hide as much as I can. I decided to try again, and researched. I found The Face Studio on google and was so impressed with what I saw and read, I checked many out and this was the one that impressed me the most. I had my eyebrows done 2 weeks ago now and for the first time I feel confident, I get up in the morning and I still can't believe it every time I look in the mirror, nothing to do to them. They look like I have real hair. That's why I call what Tuyen does an art! I cried after I had them done, tears of joy. Like I said, I can't say enough wonderful things about this truly amazing, caring, professional artist! read more

One of the best decisions I've made in my life! I was very hesitant about getting anything tattooed on my face but after two different people told me to come here after I complemented them on their perfect brows (which I thought were natural) I decided to look into it. This studio is a home-based business which worried me a little at first, however once I got there the space was beautiful, professional and very clean. Tuyen is an eyebrow genius! I can't count how many people have complimented me on my perfectly shaped eyebrows and that I have intern recommended that they come here. Many of the 'after' pictures online are of right after so they look a lot bolder than what the final result will be. It looks like individual hairs, it makes such a difference, and no one can tell they are not my natural brows. I have even had a stranger stop me on the street to say "ok, we need to talk about your eye brows". I loved my eyebrow so much that I went back to have my eyeliner done. I went on the natural side, now I look like I have a thicker/ fuller lash line which is exactly what I wanted. I am a busy mother, the fact that I can now roll out of bed and put some tinted SPF on and look like my makeup is prefect is life changing. You get a $50 credit for anyone who comes in that you referred. She does book up pretty far in advance so don't expect to get in the same week you call. I can't say enough good thinks about Tuyen or The Face Studio. I am so beyond happy with my results. read more

I don't think the one review of her response is accurate of how she responds to her clientele. I have called and she is super timely at responding given that you leave her a message as her voicemsg will prompt you to do so if she is currently tattooing a client or in a conference. If you call and don't leave a msg, as is most places, one would assume that it would be a soliciting call so if you are interested leave a msg or email and she will get back to you within the same business day or during business hours if not you might not get a call back. She always has her clients interests at heart. Tuyen is one of the best in the industry her studio is very clean she's very down to earth and her work is phenomenal. I first had my eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed by her when she was initially getting her feet off the ground and I have continued to religiously go to her for my touch-ups which have been few and far between because of the amazing job she has done. Note: her aftercare sheet is really important to follow as sun exposure and lack of care leads to premature fading. She's great with correspondence given that you leave a message when you call or email with what you are inquiring about knowing that she works back to back Monday to Friday. read more

I recently had my initial consultation with Tuyen at her studio. Both the premises and Tuyen are very impressive and do not disappoint. The studio is very well maintained and has a welcoming, cozy ambience. I felt immediately at ease there. As for Tuyen, my impression of her is that she is a very warm, caring lady. One who is emotionally invested in seeing her clients achieve their full aesthetic potential and will go the extra mile in order to ensure the best possible outcome for them. I live in Metrotown and rely on public transit In order to get around. Although I was aware of other businesses who offer a similar service within my area of Burnaby, I chose to travel out to Surrey in order to meet Tuyen, as I had heard such positive things about both her as a person and her professional service. It was very important for me to be treated by somebody like her, someone who could truly empathise with my desire for self enhancement. I am so much looking forward to having my first session of scalp micropigmentation with her in October, and can't wait to see the outcome. Will update this review after my procedures have been completed! read more

I have been going to Tuyen for about 2 years now and she is very professional in what she does. I have been strugging with sparse eyebrows since I was little, I inherited that from my mother lol but Tuyen has done magic on my brows they look completely real, not only have I got it done my mother and sister has also gone to her. When I came home with them done they were both so amazed at the technique Tuyen uses which is called the feathering technique, a lot of people always ask me how I get my eye brows to look so good and I always tell them who and where I got them done from. I also struggled with very bad acne when I was younger, very bad cystic acne and now I had to deal with the deep acne pits on my face. Tuyen also offers needle dermabration and I cannot tell you enough how much my face has become smoother less pitted and this was only from one session!! Im very pleased with her work and very thankful to have found a trusted esthetician who knows her stuff and Im very happy to have made a good friend. Tuyen is always so easy to talk to, just like talking to a sister! Thanks Tuyen read more

Took my mom here to get her eyebrows and eyeliner done and Tuyen did a fantastic job! She was super thorough with the whole process - from explaining to us her methods to her after care instructions. My mom was quite nervous about the whole procedure, but with Tuyen's natural interpersonal skills, she made my mom feel at ease and got her really excited about the whole thing. The results were amazing! Mom's makeup was super natural and it also made her look 10 years younger. It must be all the years of experience she had under her belt because Tuyen's drawing techniques made my mom look like she had an eye lift :) Mom's super happy with the results and is looking forward to going back for her follow up appointment. I highly recommend The Face Studio - a definite must if you're considering cosmetic tattooing services. (Not sure about the previous comment below re: not picking up or calling back. Tuyen would always pick up the phone when she wasn't with a client and would always call me back when we missed each other!) read more

Tuyen is the best! My mum and I both had our eyebrows microbladed by her and had amazing experiences. She takes her time with each step of the process, explains everything in detail, is incredibly skilled in finding the correct shape and colour to best flatter your face, and makes you feel completely at ease. I also really appreciate that her instagram/website is full of *healed* pictures. We both healed well and love our eyebrows! I can especially attest to her greatness as I have been to another very popular microblading artist and had a less than satisfactory experience. Poor communication and despite 3 appointments (1 full and 2 touch-ups), only a very small amount of colour retention = no eyebrows after a lot of money and time. Tuyen is much more fairly priced and gives so much more. If you are looking to have your eyebrows microbladed, choose The Face Studio! read more

I was apprehensive at first because of the cost but after getting my eyebrows & eyeliner done, I have to say I am very happy with the results. I went into Tuyen's office a few years ago with hardly any eyebrows & walked out with beautifully shaped brows that totally transformed my face! It's true when they say eyebrows are the frame to your face. I love mine now & have an easier time looking in the mirror. I recently got my eyeliner done & am very happy with Tuyen's work. I had a very bad experience a few years ago & went to Tuyen for corrections. She was very professional & managed to fix the botched job. I was so relieved when I saw what she had done. I learned the hard way that you really do get what you pay for. You will save money in the long run so treat yourself & go see Tuyen! I've done my homework & she is one of the best! Thank you Tuyen!

I am so happy with my decision to trust Tuyen at The Face studio to do the tattooing for my eyebrows and eyeliner (upper and lower) I love what she has done for me! Not only do I look put together without any makeup I now have symmetry with my brows and such a nice clean look with the eyeliner tattooing. Tuyen is not only a talented perfectionist in tattooing she is a talented perfectionist in creating the right eyebrow shape to enhance the shape of her client's face, the same customized creation is done with the eyeliner tattooing as well. I couldn't be happier with my results. My entire experience was awesome...she is a professional on every level with a genuine kindness that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, you can't get better than that! I highly recommend The Face Studio for cosmetic tattooing, Tuyen is excellent and the studio is spotless. read more

Amazing and perfect every time! I have been coming to the face studio for about 10 years. I have had my brows done every couple years, as well as eyeliner and lip liner done twice. If you want to get permanent make up done but aren't sure where to go because there are lots of places and you aren't sure who's good - look no further! The environment is professional, clean, even spa like and they make sure you are comfortable with the shape and always as comfortable as possible during the process. These treatments help out sooo much when you are active, a busy mom or just hate spending a lot of time on make up every day. I would highly recommend the face studio to anyone, the years of service being in this competitive business should speak for themselves! Free yourself and do this - and stop drawing your brows on every day! read more

The Face Studio owned and operated by Tuyen is truly my favourite. Service today is truly hard to find and when it comes to semi-permanent tattoos, getting it done from a highly reputable and honest professional is hard to find. I have been seeing Tuyen for three years now. Originally my eyeliner and now my eyebrows and she has always done a great job. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. She genuinely cares about her clients well-being and prides herself with quality work. Her salon is clean and her follow-ups post service is on point. I fly to receive her services because I know exactly what I'm getting and the level of service she provides. Thank you Tuyen, for being a great hosts and truly separating quality in the work you do. read more

Absolutely amazing! Tuyen is amazing at her craft and I would never trust anyone else to provide cosmetic tattooing. I receive multiple compliments all the time on my eyebrows and eyeliner. Tuyen is very accommodating and professional and always strives to work around my schedule. I have been a client of Tuyen's for the past 4 years. In this time, I have had my eyebrows done, one touch up on the brows, designer eyeliner on top and bottom and one touch up of eyeliner on top and bottom. I have never had to pencil in my brows or eyeliner. I highly recommend anyone to go to Tuyen to have any cosmetic tattooing done. Thank you for your amazing service Tuyen! read more

This is my 3rd time I get my eyebrows done by Tuyen and I had the BEST experience every time. I was really nervous and she totally put me at ease.  She was very patient and answered all my questions.  When it actually came time she was so gentle and really took pride in her work.  I was really impressed that all the equipment and supplies were so clean and new. During the procedure she kept me very comfortable - informing me of what she was doing and distracting me with pleasant conversation.  The final product are my beautiful eyebrows - so very happy with them!!..Highly Highly recommend Tuyen. read more

I have been to see Tuyen for my eyebrows and my lips. She did a wonderful job. Her professionalism is tops and yet she is so personable it makes a person feel SO comfortable. The first time I had my lips done she showed me exactly how they would look and chose the color very carefully. They match my skin tone and personality very well. I have had touch ups but I have hardly needed that since the pigments she uses and her technique is so good it stays fresh longer. I trust her and will be doing my eyeliner next. I would highly recommend her!! read more

I've been going to the face studio for the past 7 years for eyeliner and eyebrows, and I've had the best experience every time! She uses top numbing cream so your experience is pain free and she will make you look like a beautiful person. That's why I keep coming back :) I've referred all my family and friends to her and everyone is super happy with her work! thank you for your great business and making me look pretty ! Keep up the good work ! read more

Amazing. Professional. Are words to describe The Face Studio! From the moment we walked in we felt we were at the right place to have our eyebrow microblading transformation. Tuyen is great. She called us back immediately. She does it all with no secretary! Very positive experience. Knowledgeable about her profession. She knows her stuff. From brow angles to color you are have picked the right studio if you choose The Face Studio! read more

Tuyen is amazing! Her consultation is very detailed; asking everything from my preferred shape, to how I normally colour my hair and my regular make up routine. I was impressed with her attention to detail noticing how one little strands of hair makes a huge impact. My first microblading experience lasted a whole year (I didn't even need to pencil them in). Her spa is also very clean and relaxing. read more
