I came to Tabatha exactly a year ago to fix a problem area that had bothered me for a long time. It was dark and I wanted it lightened. After 4/5 sessions with her and about 9 MONTHS going to her, I was left with YELLOW ink in my skin rather than my skin tone. It made it look so much worse and it definitely took my confidence away completely. Tabatha is nice sure, but she didn't seem to care much when I told her about the issue--seemed very superficial. She also took 1/2 to 1 full day to respond to my messages when I was clearly very upset and trying to see what we could do to fix it. Short and insincere messages from her btw. Yes, she offered saline removal (which would take multiple sessions and months longer), but honestly, if she messed up the ink, why wouldn't I think she could mess up the removal as well? I opted not to go back to her and decided to seek help from other sources. I did my removal elsewhere and the area is still healing. Mind you, it looks WORSE than it did before I went to Tabatha and there is still some yellow ink there. I'm slowly fixing the problem myself, but for anyone who is interested ink ink camouflage with Tabatha, PLEASE take this into account! Yes she's experienced, but after 25 years in this industry she STILL managed to botch my color matching and completely ruin my confidence. Zero stars if I could. read more

I absolutely love Tabitha's work! She has done my eyebrows and my lashes and is a master at what she does. She comes with a high level of professionalism and the atmosphere at her studio is warm and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoy seeing her and I highly recommend her services. read more

DO NOT go to Tabatha! She may or may not happen to pick the right color for you, and you will spend tons of money trying to repair the damage she has done. I went to see Tabatha about 5 weeks ago for eyebrow microblading. I messaged her about a week 1/2 ago telling her the color looked blue/gray. She offered for me to come in and she would go over with a warmer color. After thinking about it I decided I would not feel comfortable having the person that messed up the color try to correct it. I told her this in a text, and asked for my money back since I now have to go pay someone else to fix it. She said she didn't give refunds and I signed a contract, etc. I will post screenshots of the messages. You will see how unprofessional she is. I deeply regret trusting her with my face. She isn't even sorry that I have to walk around with gray eyebrows. It is especially awful in the sunlight. UPDATE: Haha, now she's blaming me, and accusing me of wanting free blue eyebrows. What does she think I am? A smurf? Your "not free" eyebrows will cost me $500 in addition to the $360 I paid her. Tabatha also uses the same photos as someone else on Instagram. They share a business address as well. One (or both) of them are using photos of work they haven't done. Tabathas instagram account is @winkinkstudio and her friend is @winkinkstudiodanielle. I was duped, and now I'm losing sleep from the stress and loss of nearly $1,000 when you take in to account the corrective work I will be getting. read more

Just had my brows done and I couldn't be happier!!! Let me start off by telling you I've did a ton of research and looked at what feels like a million before and after photos before I decided to book at Wink. I only have one regret and that is that I waited so long to get this done. I just cut 15 minutes off my morning routine, so excited!!! My experience: Booking My Appointment: I called and left a message and received a response within 24 hours. We played phone tag before confirming app via text. Consult and service are done in the same visit. I asked a few questions prior and Wink was quick with responding to them. My visit: Outside of being super nervous the experience was excellent. Tabatha was really great at answering my questions and explaining the process to me prior and during. We first decided on a shape followed by a color before the procedure began. The numbing cream definitely takes the edge off but I could still feel my brows being formed. The pain wasn't too bad, if you are used to waxing then it won't be much different. When she was done I was amazed at how awesome by brows looked!! The color was a little dark but still a great match and I couldn't get over how REAL they look. Tabatha sends you on your way with care kit & instructions.. the whole visit took about an hour at most. How they look: SUPER REAL Dark as to be expected for a few week Shiny cause of the moisturizer But still amazing!! I've included my own before and afters, enjoy! read more

Tabitha is amazing! I am a doctor and very particular about cleanliness (especially in the age of COVID) and professionalism, and my expectations were to get a perfect job. When I read that one Google review that said that she turned someone's eyebrows blue, I honestly was a bit worried. Before I even filled out the paperwork I asked her about it. And of course the person who wrote it was one of "those" people... Please believe ME that I walked out of her studio with 1000% satisfaction and I am not easy to please. She is an EXPERT in her field, and you will NOT leave with blue eyebrows. You WILL leave wanting to recommend her to your friends. Thank you again Tabitha!!!! read more

I found Tabitaha on Instagram, she had lots pictures seemed very experienced and knowledgeable. I booked my appointment & results were amazing! Her suite is adorable and she is very friendly and kind. I was able to do a consult via text and booked everything online which was super convenient. I highly recommend it. Go Tabatha for your brow needs you won't regret it! read more

Amazing artist perfect result Tabatha is the best She take good care of her clients, spend time to shape and design eyebrows, thanks dear read more

Wink Ink Studio - Tabatha is the best - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

DO NOT GO HERE! Tabitha cancelled on me 2 hours before my appointment. I asked her if there was anyone else that can do the microblading because I had already asked to be off work and paid for a babysitter and rescheduled my sons occupational and speech therapy to make it to this appointment. I should have read these reviews first. This is unprofessional and you guys should go somewhere else. I am taking my money elsewhere. read more

Disappointed in Tabathas customer service. I text confirmed my follow up appointment and got a confirmation. Drive from riverside (two hour drive both ways) when she didn't show she said I needed to deal with my phone company?! I went to another lady to fix the problems. She said Tabatha had not done a good job. The ink was grey and the shape was off. I'm sorry I went to her read more

I usually don't write a bad review but now that I read the other reviews, I agree with them. I have been coming to Tabatha for past few years for my eyebrows micro blading....She is okay with the Initial paying appt but when it comes to the touch up, that's what becomes challenging. She constantly tries to move it around. It happens every time if I need to do a touch up and in the past I thought to myself it's okay it happens sometimes....But every time??? I have a busy life so when I make an appt, I stick with it. She tried to change my appt twice and When I responded to her to cancel my appt and I will have it fixed somewhere else. She didn't even care or acknowledge it... she said "okay thank you". Within seconds my appt was canceled. Which professional let's someone else finish their job‍ I am a very nice and loyal customer but I would like to be treated like one as well. read more

I have eyebrows! I lost my eyebrows after having a "thyroid storm" 12 years ago. Eventually my brows grew back but not as full as they once were before I got sick. I just learned how to properly pencil in my brows about a year ago, by the way I'm a young 54. Honestly I'm a no fuss kind of girl. When I learned there were alternatives to penciling I did my homework and checked into tattooing and micro-blading. I checked Groupon for specials then I went on yelp to see the pictures of the final product. Wink Ink's work by Tabatha was the best work I saw in my journey for a natural looking brow. Tabatha explained to me on what to expect. She told me how to care for my brows and had me come back 5 weeks later for a touch up (more like the final touches). I recommend to anyone to pay the extra money for the touch up because your brow will grow in and there are areas that (not intentionally) may be missed in your first session. I noticed the 5 weeks in between my appointments I had some growth in the micro-bladed area. I also didn't over pluck because I found it easier to manage my brows knowing which hairs were supposed to be in my brow line. I don't have a need to pencil in my brows any longer. I feel more confident when I go out in public. I went home at Thanksgiving and my sister-in-law kept looking at me knowing something was different and then she finally asked if I did my eye brows. I told her yes and she was amazed how natural they looked. Tabatha matched my coloring to perfection. I have brows like I did in my 20's. See for yourself! Thank you Tabatha for taking good care of me. read more

Tabatha did an amazing job on my eyebrows!! I had previously went to another place and they messed up eyebrows so bad! She was able to correct them and color match!! She kept making sure I was happy with them until the very end. Did I mention the numbing cream !! Didn't feel a thing. She is very professional, clean and explains the whole process. She made it a very positive experience unlike my previous place!!! Her studio is perfect and comfortable. You will be in and out in an hour. I am definitely referring my friends and family. Thank you Tabatha !! read more

Very unprofessional and unreliable. Tabatha's business practices are harmful to clients and I would advise not to support this business and taking your money to other businesses that value their clientele and reputation. read more

Tabatha did my eyebrows first time about two years ago and they didn't start fading until a few months ago. I went in today for a touch up she exceeded my expectations once again. She will always be my go to person. read more

As a makeup artist I'm extremely picky about my brows but Tabitha made me feel very comfortable. She drew on my brows so I could approve the shape and she got it perfect on the first try! I have tweezed my brows to almost nothing and been using brow powder for years so it's nice to have awesome full brows! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to have a fresh waxed look and youthful brows! Thanks again Tabitha! read more

Tabatha did my brows about a year ago. She did a great job BUT she is flaky! I set up my appointment took the day off of work and she canceled on me hours before my appointment. She did this a couple of times.... red flag I know. Fast forward to a year later I thought maybe she would be better at keeping an appointment. Sadly this is not the case. My mom set up an appointment with her on Monday to come in today. I asked my mom to text her just before we left the house.....mind you we are driving an hour and a half to get there. Well Tabatha replied with "I'm sorry I don't have you in the books"!! I will not recommend her to anyone! read more

Your response makes no sense. Swelling happens in the first week. I had my consultations with the other artists weeks after you worked on me. And as I said I was told by them there was NO way to correct what you did. (U said it just needed second treatment to perfect shape and color) That's ridiculous. read more

I don't know how I stumbled across this little gem but I was glad that I did. I went to get my eyebrows fixed from previous bad micro blading experience. Tabatha was fast which is good considering it's a tad painful, however she was very thorough and gave me exactly what I asked for. I love my eyebrows! read more

Tabatha is amazing! Really knows her craft, salon is clean and very cool ambience. Remember, this is a little sister to a tattoo, so skill and precision is of utmost importance!! Definitely recommend. Awesome job!!! read more

I could not be happier with how my brows turned out. I have been struggling with shaping my non existing brows all my life and now I can finally be relieved of having to draw them on every day! Tabatha is very attentive about giving you exactly the brow you want and makes the process as comfortable as possible. The proof is in the results and my eyebrows are officially on point! read more

So happy with my brows! Tabatha is a professional who honors her work. Her clients' happiness comes first. I got them done in April 2018. Due for a touch up soon and will only go to Tabatha. Well worth it. So affordable! No more filling in my eyebrows. Love them! read more

Tabatha is absolutely amazing! I was nervous going in having never had permanent makeup before. She really listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly the look I was hoping for. My eyebrows look beautiful and so natural, you wouldn't even know it wasn't my own hair. Her studio is also very clean and she continually sterilized her tools and my skin throughout my appointment. read more

Made an appointment to have my eyebrows done. Everything went very smoothly and I was told to schedule a follow up appointment in 5 weeks for a touch up. I was told that in was included in my original price. Everything was cash and no documentation that it was paid in full and the touch up was included. I trusted her and went on my way. I text Tabitha 5 weeks later asking for an appointment and she gave me her first available appointment and told me it would be $100.00. I questioned her on that and she continued to back pedal saying I wasn't her client and I would have to connect with the other lady who actually did my brows. I now believe the only reason the other lady did my brows was because she was teaching Tabitha. They seemed to have a good relationship and Tabitha was asking plenty of questions. When I went to pay it was directed for me to pay Tabitha. Long story short I was given the runaround. Then Tabitha dropped her price to $40.00 to cover her supplies. I fell as if I already covered her supplies. Anyone that does bad business like this is not someone who will get my hard earned money. Shame on you Tabitha!!!! I recommend you continue to look...everyone is doing the microbladding now!!! read more

Tabitha did such an amazing job on my eyebrows, her studio is nice and clean, she really cares about your comfort and uses great product. I would recommend wink ink to all my friends, good job! read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I was SO scared of what I was about to get into but I can honestly say Tabatha was AMAZING! She was patient and totally understood that these were my eyebrows and respected my desired shape. Sometimes you feel pressure w hair stylists, etc that you just have to do what they want for you but not with Tabatha. She listens well. I have referred her to everyone I know! Can't wait for my touch up! ps. Tons of parking which is a big deal coming from LA ha. read more
