I had microshading done by Alice. My first impressions of this salon was that it was easy to find and that it was clean. I met Alice through a mutual associate at a school event. It was very easy to chat with her. I have had microshading done twice and so was familiar with the process, but I appreciated her due diligence in discussing what she could and couldn't do so that she could understand and achieve what I was looking for. She was also very thorough in discussing after care of my brows and gave me a cute little take home kit with some goodies! The whole process was very comfortable and my healing is going great. I would definitely recommend her services to my friends and family! read more

Fab experience with Alice Vu at Beauty Elements. I originally had my brows microbladed by Alice 4 or 5 years ago, and had been wanting to get them redone, but was waiting as i researched brow lift surgeons. I finally had my brow lift done in May, and as soon as i made sure with my surgeon it was ok, I made an appt with Alice. I woule never trust anyone else (except her sister Cindy) with my eyebrows! They came out perfect! Ive gotten so many compliments, and my super critical mother now wants to go have hers re-done with Alice also. I had my touch-up done yesterday, 5 weeks since initial appt. and everything about my experience was top notch, the ambiance, customer service and final outcome. Dont risk going anywhere else for your microblading! read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

My daughter and I have been with Cindy from the moment that she was driving to Beverly Hills to get her training. We had our eyebrows done in a small modest room. She has exploded over the years and still expanding. She is the only one that I'd would trust with my eyebrows. She is kind, compassionate about her trade, and thoughtful. You can't find another eyebrow tattoo artist like her anywhere else. However, her pricing has gone up a bit high though. Understandably the cost of doing business had increased due to COVID and everything else going on in the world. But then, there are customers and the "loyalists" that have been with you throughout from the begging. read more

I normally don't write reviews but I had to make an exception for my experience at Beauty Elements. I have been admiring Cindy's work on her instagram (@mzcindyv) and she was always booked. After the reopening of covid, she opened up her calendar and I hopped on the opportunity to book with her for the 1st of December. Her staff are extremely friendly and organized. Cindy, herself, is a doll. She is through in her explanation and listens to my concerns. I am beyond satisfied with my eyebrows and my experience. She even gives you a goodie bag with ointment and some aftercare materials. I would 1000% recommend her to everyone who wants micro-blading/micro-shading/or ombré powdered brows. Covid: she requests that you text her upon arrival and they will let you know when they are ready to have you come to the door. This allows for social distancing between guests and allows staff and Cindy, time to sanitize in-between visits. They take your temperature upon arrival and requires a mask. Cindy has her N95 mask as well as a face shield on when she's working on you. Everything is wrapped for disposal after. I felt super safe in her facility. Again, I highly recommend Beauty Elements. Support small businesses and this boss babe! read more

Don't think about it, just do it! She is worth the wait! I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Cindy Vu today and she is absolutely amazing. Extremely down to earth and very knowledgeable in her craft.

Super excited to see how it's going to heal. Thank you Cindy and Frances for being amazing today. Can't wait to come back for the touch ups! read more

Typically, I have Cindy touch up my brows,but she was booked months in advance. I decided to give Alice a try and had her shade my brows. She did a phenomenal job and she's so sweet.

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Wonderful work by Alice Vu. I love it! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This review has been long overdue, the first time I went to beauty elements was when I got combo brows done by Connie. Even after a few years, my brows are still hanging in there and look good. I have yet to do a touch up. Now I come to them for lovesculpt. Since having my first child, I was struggling with the skin on my belly, it had lost its elasticity and it was just a stubborn area that was not budging no matter what I did with exercises, creams, etc. I was close to trying out cool sculpting and even considering a version of lipo that is done when awake, until I saw a post on IG that showcased lovesculpt. I bought their packaged sessions and I have never seen my belly look pretty frickn close to what it was pre baby. My skin was more firm and the stubborn bulge on my belly had shrunk. Now after recently having my second baby, I am back to lovesculpt to get my belly snatched once more. The boss ladies of beauty elements/lovesculpt are quick to reply to your message regarding the process if you DM them your questions on their IG page. You can even see on their posts a lot of the clients before and after pics. Definitely look into it if you have stubborn areas on your body that just need a little help. You'll be a believer. Remember, there is no shame in the self care game. read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I'm so glad I found Cindy. I put this off for a while but finally committed to doing it a year ago. I was extremely picky about who was going to do my eyebrows and when I saw her work, I knew I wanted her to do my brows. I just came in for my 1 year touch up and am still satisfied with her work. For me to fly to California from Washington state for a touch up just tells you that she's THAT amazing. Cindy, thank you for my perfect brows. I can wake up every morning and say "I woke up like this." It has saved me tons of time when I decide to do my face. Keep up the amazing work! I will update a healed photo once it's healed! read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Brows on fleek! Thanks to Cindy! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Cindy completed my micro blading today and I am beyond satisfied with the results! The location was easy to find, beautiful and clean inside, and Cindy was professional, friendly, super accommodating and very sweet! She took her time to answer all of my questions and explained thoroughly how she gets the right shape that goes well with your face and the natural shape and arch of your brows. The routine was quick and painless. I will be recommending Beauty Elements to all of my friends and family! read more

Okay y'all! I didn't want to share my secret weapon to my eyebrows being on fleek, but here I am! If you're ready to look like a unicorn you need to see Cindy. She was professional, sweet, down to earth, and talked me through the whole process. I don't know if I'm more excited to see Cindy or to get my second appointment and finishing touches in! It's a win win! Update: My eyebrows still look AMAZING! I also wanted to share my contact with Alice has always been great. She's very kind and super helpful with scheduling appointments. read more

I had my brows tattooed by other people before I found Cindy Vu at Beauty Elements. Thank goodness I found her cause she had to fix my brows for me. The last person that did my brows tattooed too deep and left scar tissue. Been going to Cindy Vu at Beauty Elements for 6 years. She is the best in the industry. She is on point with my eyebrows. I wouldn't let anyone touch my brows but her. My brow color never changes to an orange tint like most people. The color stay the same even when I go and get them touch up. read more

Cindy and her team were able to squeeze me into their already jam packed schedule in order for me to get my brows looking perfect before my wedding. The whole process was smooth, and Cindy made sure I was super comfortable and happy with the brow shape/color before doing anything else. Now my brows look awesome 24/7 and I don't have to figure out how to tame the bushy beast lol Thank you Cindy for making my brows look amazing! read more

I just got microshading done by Cindy Vu last week and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end! She answered any questions I had and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She was very light handed, so the pain was minimal. Even though my eyebrows are still healing, I already received so many compliments on her work! Make this place your one stop shop by getting your brows done by Cindy, and your lashes done by Jax! read more

Thank you to Cindy and Alice! The moment I met them, they were so nice, accommodating, and super down to earth. Cindy took her time to outline my eyebrows and thoroughly explained the procedure. I was worried about the pain during the procedure, it was not bad at all! I was very comfortable the entire time. The location is really cute and very clean. They gave me detail after care instructions and after care kit before I left. I been following Cindy on Instagram for years now and so thankful she did my eyebrows. I HIGHLY recommend them! I get so many compliments and to top it off, it saves me so much time everyday now that my brows are on fleek! read more

I had first met Cindy thru a friend to ask her for help fix my brows from a bad job I had gotten in LA. She was able to tweak the details and follow along the 1st shape and what I really wanted. I was so grateful that I was in tears! After 2 years, she was able to re-shape exactly back to what I wanted. I am forever grateful to her for saving my brows! Driving 4 hours from Vegas is always worth it for a pair of perfect brows. read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - My brows 4 days after visiting Cindy. Amazing! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I can't believe I've never reviewed Cindy and her amazing skills! If you need your eyebrows micro bladed, Cindy is your girl! I've gone to her every year for the last 3-4 years and she never fails on giving eyebrows that people compliment! I'm a teacher (coincidentally at the same high school she attended but we didn't find out til after I met her at our first appointment) and my kids are always asking me about my brows! Cindy is extremely kind and the business is professionally run. They're super sanitary and hygienic. You'll never need to worry about those horror stories you see on the news. So if you're like me and overplucked your eyebrows in the 90s, book an appointment with Cindy ASAP! I also had her sister do my eyebrows this past year (Cindy was booked because of a backlog of clients who were canceled due to covid restrictions) and she did an amazing job as well! read more

I went in last week to get my brows laminated by Cindy Vu and am very pleased with the results and overall experience. As one of the first brow artists in the industry, she has mastered the art and it is evident in her precision and methodical application. She also carries a calming and graceful presence to her, which made the process very enjoyable. read more

The best girl in town. Hands down!!! This girl is a rare gem. From the moment I found her to the entire process of microblading, I have never felt better about this decision in my life. I've always wanted to get my brows semi permanent and natural looking. I searched everywhere for a good artist and couldn't find any I was willing to trust with my brows. - It really does make or break a face you know. After finding Cindy, she walked me through the entire process consultation til the end and explained everything extremely thoroughly and made sure I was aware of all the possible outcomes of the process. She let me know ahead of time how to prepare - don't wax or tweeze. Also, she took an ample amount of time to go over the shape - she didn't just do whatever she wanted. She wanted to make sure I was in love with my brows and that they were even before doing anything at all. She let me know that because it isn't a permanent tattoo, it will fade quite significantly and I will need to come back and do a touch up- which is included in her process. She informed me that everyone heals differently and will want to do a follow up and check on my brows to make sure they're perfect. I was amazed at how wonderful they came out and the process was simple. Make sure you make an appointment online, sometimes she has open slots you can snag quickly! Don't exercise for the first 10 days (she tells you all this and gives you a goody bag at the end). She's super busy, so the best way of contact is to get your appointment in first. She'll always respond to you no matter what! Honestly, don't skimp on your brows. Pick someone that will take their time to give you the best and choose someone who's willing to do her best work every time. I would refer Cindy every time for her work, her sweet personality and basically the best beauty experience I've ever had. Thank you for letting me be able to wake up beautiful everyday. read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Thank you for transforming my face with my new amazing eyebrows!! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I went into this place not really knowing what to expect. I have tattoos but the idea of getting a tattoo on my face (my eyebrows) was another level that I was kind of nervous about. However, once I walked into Beauty Elements I was kindly welcomed by all of the staff there. I went to get powdered ombré eyebrows with someone Cindy was training. It was nice to see how involved Cindy was with her students so I wasn't nervous anymore. The person who ended up doing my eyebrows was amazing as well! Her name was Jessica. I appreciated how detail-oriented Jessica was and how determined she was on making both my eyebrows as identical as possible. After the procedure I was very happy with the results! My eyebrows have never looked better, and I am thoroughly pleased with my whole experience at Beauty Elements :) read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - My eyebrows a week after and with a little eyebrow gel. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I am just in awe I never took Cindy's course sooner. This review is as a student who took her collab lip blush/lip jelly 2 day course. Both Cindy and Connie are amazing artists in what they all do, with tons of experience to share. I was fortunate to be in a class of 2 (this was right after Thanksgiving holiday) so it became a focused 2:2 training. I was already doing brows and saline removal before this course but I felt that they were able to teach my other lip sis machine work within 2 days and that is entirely amazing (plus it helps that she's a natural talent). They go over basic information, consultation, consent forms, benefits, machine technique, color theory, live model demo and we each got to work on our own live models- putting everything we learned to the test. Now, it doesn't just end there! They provide ongoing support for me behind the scenes when I have questions or concerns and they never hesitate to repost and promote my work despite us being in the same industry. Empowering each artist is golden!!! In addition to themselves, they go a step further to provide all the supplies we would need to start out including 5 very popular Permablend lip pigments and the Mark PMU machine. I could never thank you these two enoughh because I literally love doing lips now. read more

Update post touch up 6/3: I was a little more sensitive this time around but Cindy of course reassured me that this was normal for touch ups. The whole touch up itself took about an hour and a half. (Please see my attached pictures). Again, just like the first time I was super happy with my results and can't wait for it to heal! Thanks again Cindy for everything! read more

I don't like the final result of my eyebrows. During the consultation of my touch up, she did ask me if everything was ok before she proceeded, I told her that the strokes from the beginning of one eyebrow is slanted than the other and I just wanted it similar if not identical, she said that she's just following hairline structure, which I agreed but stressed out that if she can make it look similar. After finishing touches she asked me if she should draw one more stroke to which I agreed. I said yes immediately to everything she's suggesting because I have more confidence in her in doing this than my own opinions at that time. After a few days I noticed that the right brow was brought it too close leaving no room for adjustements. I'm not really good at shaping my eyebrows, hence, me spending a lot on this to have someone do it for me. That's why I went to her. With every step she did ask me, I said yes to everything and now I'm regretting seeing the final result. Nobody is perfect, people have off days or whatever but what got me so mad is when I voiced out the concerns I have, her assistant said they could fix it but because she's busy and will be available in three months. I understand youre busy but when a client says that they're not comfortable with the final result, what am I supposed to do with this now? Good customer service? Nope. I said yes and completely trusted her but I guess her fixing my eyebrows won't be done anytime soon. Really sad and disappointed. read more

I can't stress this enough, BEAUTY ELEMENTS IS EVERYTHING! After being a model for Cindy's class -- i went from model to student! taking cindy's class was probably the best decision i've ever made. she helped me build a career that i'm proud of & i know i'll have her support for life! she literally does the best work i've seen anywhere & i'm not just saying that because i learned from her! i truly learned from the best! i can speak from all perspectives -- from being a client to being a student. she's extremely professional during her sessions & she's undoubtedly the best mentor! aside from her classes, i feel so gratified having chosen Cindy as my mentor because i have the support of her entire team as well! Alice is such a blessing & i'm equally grateful for all of her guidance. Love to Cindy, Alice, Amy, Yuki, Ashley, Connie -- Everyone at Beauty Elements is god-sent! read more

Update to clarify on my previous review - Alice's work did not leave me with a red shade, the prior place where I had my eyebrow micro-bladed did. It's been over three months and my eyebrows still look great. I recently saw she is doing lash line enhancement and I'm seriously considering it. Thanks, again, Alice!!!! read more

I am giving this place a 5 out of 5 stars!! I was looking for places to get my eyebrows down, but as a Male I didn't know if I should even get them done but i saw that both Alice and Cindy Alice Vu have done eyebrow procedures on males, it made me feel confident that I would look good with them too. I selected Alice for my procedure and she did my microblading procedure and touch up. I love how they turned out. I'm much more confident in myself now. Thank you so much alice!! I would recommend Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu to anyone who is looking to get their eyebrows microbladed! As soon as I entered the studio, I was greeted and offered some snacks or drinks while I waited in the lounge area. The environment there is so peaceful and quiet. They have music playing throughout the procedure, which made me very comfortable and took away the pressure from having to make small talk. When I did talk to Alice about my brow shape and color, she was very attentive to what I wanted and happily accepted my feedback. They take care of you here at Beauty Elements!! I'm so excited for my annual touch up! Thank you so much Alice! I will see you soon! read more

This review is long over due ! I had my eyebrows done by Alice in the summer. And OH MY GOD idk how I lived this long without my beautiful brows ! I am a pretty low maintenance girl, even more so now bc my brows always look flawless so who needs make up. Lol. Alice is AMAZING. She has a very light hand, it was practically painless ! She knows exactly what she is doing, she is a brow guru !! read more

Cindy is the brow QUEEN. I've had a bad experience previously from a lady in LA and I never thought I would do micro blading again. But I'm so glad I found Cindy because she is amazing! She really takes the time and actually listens to her clients. She makes sure you are completely happy with the shape she outlines before committing to the semi-permanent makeup. She is very knowledgeable and up-to-date with what's popular in the eyebrow world. I never knew what ombre eyebrows were until she recommended it to me. Cindy is very professional, organized and skilled in her line of work. I can't wait for the touch up session to complete my eyebrows to 100%. (Photos to follow~~) Also, its always a major PLUS when the shop is super cute & clean :-) read more

Curling your eyelashes everyday causes them to fall off which is why eyelash lift perm was perfect for me! They do other services that I will be trying on in the future because I was very pleased with my first visit! Amy did my perm, and it came out perfect!(I will post pictures of results) she was also very friendly and professional! I loved everything about this place, find out for yourself! 10/10 would recommend this place! read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

She's as good as everyone says and well worth the wait and $$. I am cursed in the brow department and have been very self-conscious about it my entire life. I inherited my mothers brow shape and she and I both have to fill in over half the space because our natural shape is low, thick and terrible. Cindy took her time feeling my bone structure and measuring. When she draws the outline, it looks thicker than it will be- this kinda made me weary but I trusted her and they got thinner after pealing. I literally thought I might cry after the procedure.. that's how much my brows have been an inconvenience and cause of everyday stress. I could never leave the house with out filling them in because there was barely anything there. Ladies and gentlemen- BE GLAD we live in a time when having bad brows is no longer a problem. Cindy can fix it and change your life. She's a very hard worker and cares about her work tremendously. I am so so grateful she is there and that this whole procedure exists! To the person who left a one-star for her not responding to your text.. come on. I too am a small business owner and know what it's like to be overworked and too busy all the time. No, it's not right, but mistakes happen. You could have simply gone to her website and registered yourself. I snagged random opening and only had to wait 2 months. Bottom line- stop being a diva. It's obvious Cindy has a lonnng waiting list. I actually text her too once and didn't her back but I didn't freak because I know the poor girl is slammed. Her website makes it easy for her and everyone else. That's really all you had to do. read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - LOVE my fuller eyebrows. Frames my face much better and makes putting make up on actually more fun. :) - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Where do I ever start with how amazing Cindy is!!?! First off, Cindy is the sweetest and most accommodating artist. She takes her time to make sure you are comfortable at all times, before, during and after the producer. She talks and guides you through the entire procedure. She even comforts you with a warm blanket, in my case she doubled it since I literally wearing a jacket and uggs in the summer!! Her place is spotless, and I mean SPOTLESS! There's is nothing more comforting than walking into a clean environment especially when getting a permanent procedure. She has everything sanitized and wears gloves at all times. My brows look amazing, it's more than I expected. Being a new mom, working full time and involved in sports it's hard to take time out of my day to focus on perfect eyebrows. Now I literally have nothing to worry about, I can walk out of the house without makeup cause my brows look amazing! Cindy did my brows two years ago and she just redid them again, this time I did the hair stroke. As mentioned if your contemplating on doing this I promise you won't regret it, Cindy is truly amazing, inside and out. I walked out with a cute goody bag that included step by step instructions on the after care of your brows and everything you need. Thank you Cindy, for making me feel beautiful even on my worst days! read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - After my procedure! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Yay, first 2017 review. One word: Game Changer. My story: New year, real brows. Thank you Cindy for giving life to my face. Every morning I can say "I woke up like this and this is really how a normal person feels like when they wake up with real eyebrows. I have very light and little eyebrows, pretty much no brows. Have been contemplating for a while now to get my eyebrows tatted, whether it be permanent or semi-permanent and who to go to. My good friend/coworker referred me to Cindy. I checked out Cindy's Instagram, saw her work and who her clientele was and immediately wanted her to be my makeup artist. Day of procedure: Last Thursday, I arrived to my appointment and felt welcomed. The environment is cutesy, well decorated and not only that, Cindy is very friendly! There was a little sign that said "Welcome Joyee". From there, the usual process, filled out paperwork, went over the procedure, after-care, how the procedure is done. Before pictures, applied a eyebrow ruler sticker on my fore head (it's to make sure your eyebrows are properly centered and stenciled out), drew out the outline of the eyebrows, make sure it's the way you want it to look, make changes until you love it, numbing creme and then it beings! The procedure was pretty painless besides the outline part which was what Cindy would tell you beforehand. Definitely did not love it but once you get by that part, the rest you won't even feel because I fell asleep! I didn't bleed or have any redness so that's a plus. When I woke up and took a look at it, I wasn't sure I LOVED it just yet but only because I'm not used to the shape/style of it. My experience: Was nervous/ excited at the same time since microblading is still a form of tattoo and it's some what permanent.. but I have nothing but good things to say about Beauty Elements and Cindy. I'm so happy and LOVE it my eyebrows, best decision I ever made and wish I did it sooner!! It's only day 4 but I can't wait for it to completely heal and it still looks great. I'd recommend her to everyone in a heartbeat. Hehe =) read more

Beauty Elements by Cindy Vu - New year, real brows. Day 2 and I love it already. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I got my eyebrows done with one of Cindy's students, Erica. Before coming in, they provided instructions to ensure that the procedure goes well. When I came in, everyone was super friendly. They explained the entire procedure to me before beginning. The procedure itself wasn't painful or uncomfortable at all and mainly just felt like little scratches. Before I left, they made sure to explain the healing process and provided a post care instruction sheet and kit. Erica was super sweet and Cindy is very hands on mentor and made sure that all her students and models were doing ok. I recently came back for a touch up with Alice and I love how they turned out!! I can't wait to see how they look once it heals! She fixed the spots that I asked for and took her time to make sure that everything was okay. I also enjoyed the conversations that we had during the procedure as she was very easy to talk to and super sweet! The waiting area is super cute and comfy. They even have a little refreshment area for their clients. The room that I was in during my touch up was very clean and organized. The environment is very comfortable and welcoming! I would definitely recommend this to others who are looking to get their eyebrows done! read more

I absolutely love these ladies here! Highly recommend Alice for lashes and Frances for AMAZING lash lifts!!! Absolutely lovely atmosphere!! I recommend to anyone who is thinking of coming here to make their appointment! read more

It's been probably 8 months or so since I got my brows done here and although I loved Cindy and her studio is impeccable, the microblading is almost entirely gone from my brows and I'm back to having to spend a lot of time penciling them in which is a huge bummer considering how much I spent on them. I had my included touch up and Cindy was nice enough to do another touch up at no cost since my brows had faded so much already (no I don't have oily skin and yes I followed the aftercare instructions to a T and even tried dry healing after my last touch up). I went to another artist for help who said perhaps she just didn't go deep enough. I'll unfortunately have to shell out another pile of cash to get them done somewhere else. :( read more

This review has been long overdue! I first contacted Cindy via email to see if she did group discounts for her eyebrow procedure and to see her availability. Although it was 2 months out I booked an appointment and waited ever so patiently lol. Before I knew it it was finally time to visit her! My first visit to Cindy was way back in March. Cindy was super friendly and walked both my mom and I through the procedure. She used a pencil and drew out our eyebrows and then asked us to look to make sure we liked the shape. She made adjustments when asked, but also gave her feedback. Once they were drawn in how my mom and I liked she started the procedure on my mom. The actual microblading was faster than drawing on the eyebrows with pencil. The total time for each person was about an hour. The actual procedure itself was a little scary, but having Cindy right there talking you through everything made it a lot easier. She starts by putting numbing cream on, and then mixes the color that she'll use for your brows. After 10-15 mins she starts her first cuts. I have to admit it hurt a little bit initially, but after the first cuts she puts on more numbing cream and eventually you cant feel a thing! Although I was tearing a little bit ( because im a wimp and have a low pain tolerance), Cindy wiped my tears and calmed me down until I couldnt feel the cuts anymore! Right after the procedure I fell in love with my eyebrows! I couldnt get over how natural and clean they looked!!! I was obsessed! My mom loved hers too!! We set our follow up appointment 4 weeks after because I was travelling to Europe and thats the only time I really had available. The heal process took about 2 weeks for me, but only a week for my mom. It really depends on how fast you heal. Cindy talked to us about the healing process and how they would get really dark, start to flake, get really light, and then heal and be the right color. Although she walked us through it, my mom was worried when her brows peeled and were super light. She asked me to text Cindy and make sure this was normal. Cindy replied right away reassuring her that it was normal. Getting in contact with Cindy was super easy and she was more than willing to answer any questions we had! She also sent out a few texts to make sure I was healing properly. I came back with my mom 4 weeks later and had our touch up appointment. Because we're from San Francisco we decided to drive down to LA at 1AM to make it to our appt at 9AM. It was pretty much the same procedure, but a little shorter because she didnt need to make that many touch ups. After my moms procedure she was pretty tired from driving that night and told me she'd nap at the hotel and then pick me up. Cindy was soooo nice and offered to drive me back to the hotel because I was her last client. Please tell me how many people would be wiling to drive their client home after work?!?! Not very many. Cindy is amazing and I would highly recommend her. Shes not only skilled at her profession, but shes just a sweetheart! I promise you'll love her and your brows!! Thank you so much Cindy! You're the best! read more

I was absolutely terrified about this procedure because: 1. I am male 2. I was afraid my brows would end up looking like my Asian mom's (tattooed) 3. I've never had anyone else touch my eyebrows (not even for a clean up!) I told Cindy what I wanted but she was able to give me even more than what I had expected. I told her my concerns of the eyebrows looking unnatural. I was aiming for an unclean and deeper color to my brows; I wanted my brows to appear DARKER in videos/photos. Cindy was open to my suggestions but she ultimately made the decisions. I trusted her, based on all the raving reviews and the experience in her line of work. The procedure was a little painful for me (I guess I'm just a wuss) but it was absolutely worth it. My brows has SERIOUSLY changed my face - I'm not kidding you. Males - don't be afraid! My brows are looking NATURAL, just the way I like it. I can't recommend Cindy enough. I can't wait to come back to her a year from now for a touch up. read more

Cindy is amazing. After drawing my brows for years, I decided it was finally time to get the semi-permanent ones! Not only would I save time when doing my makeup everyday, but I wake up with amazing eyebrows! Can't beat that! The experience was wonderful and easy. I went in, and she had a cute little sign saying welcome Tessa (that's me). We sat chatted a bit, she drew the perfect shape for my brows. Then came the numbing cream...then the eyebrows! It was painless and short. The outcome is everything I could of hoped for and better! All in all, it was a perfect, comfortable experience. Cindy is extremely accommodating to your every need. She even sent me home with a cute care bag! I would definetly recommend her to anyone looking for perfect brows, along with a perfect experience :) read more
