Natalie was nice enough to accommodate me for what was probably one of her latest bookings. I definitely got a little lost trying to find her studio in the dark haha so just keep in mind her studio is located on the second floor. Overall, it was a very quick, easy and mostly painless process. I recommend going a little earlier just so that you can sign the paperwork. I liked how Natalie showed me the options for where I could be safely pierced and made sure we didn't pierce a vein in my ear. I got a third lobe and a flat with her and they were both honestly a 2-3 out of 10 on the pain scale. She was quick, efficient and minimized any discomfort. I appreciated that she still showed me aftercare (even though I'm very familiar with the aftercare due to a number of existing piercings). So far, both are healing great and maybe even better/faster than my older piercings. read more

I cannot recommend BlinKiss Beauty & Ink Studio enough! My daughter decided she wanted to get her ears pierced and I made an appointment online. We arrived at the studio and it was quiet and welcoming. Once Natalie brought us back she started to interact with my daughter and make her feel more comfortable. Natalie even had Disney princess music playing when we walked into the room! My daughter was so much more relaxed after she began interacting with Natalie and I was more relaxed seeing how neat and clean the station was in the room. Once it was time for the actual ear piercing, Natalie let me hold my daughter in the chair because she was upset. The piercing was quick and perfectly even. My daughter was so happy! I was so impressed at how my daughter didn't complain of any pain hours after the piercing and both earlobes were not even red! It's been 6 days since the piercings and everything looks so good. If you are considering Natalie for piercings, you will not be disappointed! So professional and most importantly CLEAN, SANITARY & SAFE! read more

I got the other side of my nose pierced here and Natalie was so sweet and really made me feel comfortable! My piercing is healing great

Natalie is a gem! Upon arrival, she welcomed us and was ready to go - she answered all of my questions with clarity and kindness while preparing her station for us. All pricing is transparent and competitive, and the piercings were pain-free (the helix piercing was surprisingly gentle, considering my last helix piercing elsewhere hurt like a B!). Note that the location of her studio is on the second floor of a business complex, so if there isnt parking in the front facing the street, there's more parking in the back. Seriously, go see Natalie for your next piercing. She's amazing. read more

Natalie is super talented in what she does. This process was super easy. I came in as a walk in and she was very accommodating and helpful. This has to be the most painless piercing I have ever done. I got a ton of compliments and it healed up fast. I was able to sleep on the side where I got the piercing which was mind-blowing. I would definitely go back for another piercing! read more

I had a very good experience getting my earlobe piercing today with Natalie. She's knowledgeable, friendly and patient, explaining everything thoroughly and she also helped me choose the jewelry.

I was running errands and decided to see if a piercing location was near me and this place popped up. I called and is if they took walk ins and she made her self available in less than 15 minutes! Cute place and she was kind and helpful. Also there's a cute teddy bear you can hold (: read more

It was a nice experience. She was kind and helpful and I am enjoying my new piercings so far.

The piercing process was quick and easy. Was able to book online and get it done the same day on a Sunday. Studio was very clean and professional. Lots of jewelry selections to choose from also. Natalie was great, very friendly, and meticulous. She was extra careful and took the time to get the placement perfect which I really appreciate. She explained everything very well to me and I left feeling confident in the healing process. Overall it was an awesome experience and I would go back for another. Very happy with my new piercing and would highly recommend :) read more

Natalie is a perfectionist! The studio is super hygienic, she is wonderful - no pressure atmosphere. Thank you Natalie, I love my piercing and earrings, will be back soon! read more

Natalie does the best brows! I've been going to her for over five years now (check my old review) and she's still doing great work and I'm another happy client. I came in to touch my eyes brows up as they were starting to fade and lose color and within no time they are back looking fresh AF and with perfect shape. Everyone says they look so natural and for me the shape is amazing. Natalie knows how to create brows that shape your face and it really enhances your look. All faces are asymmetrical for the most part so you can't just have two perfect eyebrows in the same shape, they have to contour to your face and this is what she does! Amazing each and every time! I trust her for permanent makeup after all these years! She is so sweet and funny, I enjoy my time with her as well. 100% recommendation! Don't sleep on working with Natalie if you are curious about getting them done! read more

I wanted to get my uneven ear piercings fixed and came across Blinkiss on Instagram, and I'm so glad I did. Natalie is wonderful! I had some initial questions which she promptly answered via text then made an appointment online. I had my piercings done today and was very impressed with Natalie's professionalism. She helped me pick out earrings, made suggestions of piercing placement since I was undecided, and she walked me through each step as she was working. After, she explained how to properly care for my new piercings and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. Her studio is very clean and relaxing. I was 100% comfortable while sitting in the chair. If you are looking for a reputable piercing studio in the Irvine area, look no further! read more

I cannot recommend her more! She was really professional with the piercing and even checked to see where my veins were in my ear so that she wouldn't pierce through it and make me bleed for my conch. She's also super sweet and considerate! read more

quick, easy, and pretty much painless service from natalie! my first piercings i got years ago took almost a year to heal, but im noticing a drastic difference with the aftercare instructions natalie provided for my second set of piercings. she is well educated on her craft and loves it, and the studio has a welcoming, calming atmosphere. 10/10 service!! read more

Absolutely loved this place. It was so cute and clean and our piercer Natalie was so sweet and knowledgeable. I found this place to take myself and my 14year old daughter to get our noses pierced. I wanted a clean, comfortable and fun experience and they exceeded my expectations. read more

Had permanent makeup done a few years ago at another studio and was not happy with the experience. My brows had faded and weren't looking great. I found Natalie on Instagram and sent her messages and pictures to consult. I was nervous, and she walked me through all the steps to help me to feel comfortable. She provided a color correction and did remapping to give my brows a better shape. I am so happy with the results. I have had so many complments and friends asking for Natalie's card. Thank you read more

I've been scared to get a piercing for years until now. I had my lobes pierced with a gun previously, which resulted in a lot of pain and a long healing time. However, Natalie uses a needle, and there was barely any pain! The process was very quick and easy -- I would 100% recommend going here if you're interested in getting a piercing. read more

Natalie was very helpful in selecting the design for my bracelet. I wasn't sure of the type of fill to select and she helped educate me on the differences between the grades of gold. She was quick and very professional. I received services for my chain back in the summer. No issue since and I have not been over protective of it. For reference I received a gold filled chain as shown in the picture attached. read more

Love Natalie at BlinKiss in Castro Valley, CA. She is friendly but professional. Knows her beauty business and provides excellent service. I've taken advantage of her Eyeliner and Lip Blush service and they both turned out GREAT! I will be a return customer. Natalie will also be setting up a shop in O.C., so tell your friends and family in Southern California. They will appreciate her impeccable artistry. Yvonne Ybanez S read more

I decided I wanted to be different from my friends,so I decided to get a permanent anklet and a thumb ring. Got lots of compliments since it's summer time so the see my anklet. It's super cute, classy, and sexy for real. You all should check this out. Natalie did mine so you must ask for her. The location is legit! I'm in healthcare so, cleanliness is a must! Legit place and not in the shopping plaza kindda place. Try it, you'll love it! read more

My sister, daughter, and I came to Natalie for permanent jewelry about 2 months ago. She was very accommodating with our limited schedule (this was a last minute decision to top off a girls weekend and my sister is from out of town). My daughter and I got matching yellow gold heart chains and my sister got a beautiful anklet with a charm. The quality is very good; it can withstand the rough and tumble of my 6 year old daughter! We get compliments all the time! I recommend Natalie to all of my friends and fam. She's professional, easy to communicate with, and very knowledgeable about her product. Her studio is clean and convenient to get to with ample parking. I'll be coming back to Natalie when I'm brave enough to get permanent makeup! read more

I have been a client of Natalie's for years now and today I is my third time seeing her. Just got my eyebrows touched up again and there's no one else I'd trust to do as good of a job as she can. I'm from the Bay Area and now that I know she's based in Irvine, would literally drive or fly out to see her if I needed to even though she still frequents the Bay. Thank you Natalie! read more

Definitely a great value and fun experience to get the permanent jewelry! Natalie has a great variety of jewelry choices to pick from and makes it a really worthwhile experience! My husband and I did matching chains and Natalie helped us with the entire process. The jewelry is durable and prices are very reasonable for what ya get! Highly recommend doing this! read more

This review is long overdue. First off, I Love Love Love my eyebrows and eyeliners!  I've gotten SO many compliments about them...So I traveled from LA to have Microshading and lash enhancement liner done with Natalie during Thanksgiving time in 2018. She was very patient and professional. This was my first time getting permanent makeup, so I had a lot of concern before even making the appointment, but Natalie answered all my concern even though she was super busy. On the day of the appointment,  I was pretty nervous coming in but Natalie was able to ease my nervous by explaining everything again before the procedure and explained every step of the process. Her studio was cute and spotless. I noticed she changed gloves often and used single use tools. Working in healthcare, I really appreciate her effort for avoiding cross-contamination.   I highly recommend Natalie to anyone who is seeking a profession PMU artist, I will bring my mom next time when I schedule my touch up. read more

A wonderful experience. The work is exceptional, I'm going back for my first touch up after 2 years, brows still look acceptable. Thanks

I went to BlinKiss Beauty for a permanent anklet and had a wonderful experience. I've had my anklet for an entire year, hasn't tarnished or broke. I receive so many compliments all the time. Happily going back for more permanent jewelry. read more

Natalie provided such a memorable experience for me and my friend the first time that this time I brought my cousins to share the experience. We had many options to choose from, from bracelets to charms. We all left happy & couldn't stop staring at our wrists on our way out. Thank you for yet another memorable experience, Natalie. Perhaps I'll see you again for my 3rd. read more

Natalie is AMAZING!! I had been following her page on Instagram for quite some time and finally made the next step to inquire and schedule my first lip blush tattoo session. She's professional, sweet, and gentle, and her studio in Castro Valley is beautiful! I'm really glad that I chose her to do my lips. Looking forward to my touch-up in June! read more

I was looking for a permanent makeup artist and after looking on Instagram for a little while, I found Natalie's studio in Castro Valley. I messaged her on Instagram to ask for a consultation and an appointment. Natalie was super professions and helpful, and I got my eyebrows and eyeliner done with her in Castro Valley. I love her work! She made sure I loved the shape and placement of my brows and eyeliner before she started, as well as taking breaks and checking up on how I was doing during my session. It's been about 9 months now and my brows and eyeliner still look amazing and I get so many compliments on them. I even recommended my sister to get permanent makeup done by Natalie as well. read more

I have had my eyebrows microbladed in the past and it was not a great experience. I researched for a while before I decided to get my eyebrows done again. I came across BlinKiss studios a few times and loved all the positive reviews and images. When I arrived to my appointment I was greeted immediately and felt welcomed. Natalie immediately got to work and let me know what to expect since my brows were previously done. The whole process went smooth. She really takes her time and makes sure you are satisfied with the shaping of your brows. During the process she makes sure to ask if you feel any pain and if you are comfortable. I am 100% pleased with the service I received as well as my amazing eyebrows. I will recommend her to anyone who is looking to get eyebrows done! read more

Irene Voong was my esthetician to work on my eyebrows. She was kind, concerned, professional and extraordinarily talented. I am so grateful!

I went to Blinkiss to get a lip blush and and it turned out super welll! Natalie was super nice and talked me through every step of the process. I came back today to get my touch up and I am super excited to see the results of the touch up as I loved the initial results!!! read more

Just like every one has said, I was very nervous as this was my first body ink. Natalie was easy to talk to, friendly and communication with her was a breeze. She replied my messages very quickly. Her small shop is bright and clean. I got the eye brows and eye liners done by Natalie. I love the color that she picked for me which matched with my hair and skin tone, gave me a beautiful natural look without any makeup. I did follow the easy instructions for recovery and it went very well. read more

I have to say that I am very precise and cautious about choosing semi-Permanent makeup procedure provider. To me, the importance are not just get the work done, but also done it correctly and beautifully. First of all, Natalie responded my appointment request promptly and explained the procedure and what to expect patiently since this was my first time. Her studio is clean and equipped properly. (She even has a safety needle disposal box) which immediately ease my nervousness. I like that she is easy to communicate with about what I wish to accomplish and also able to provide reasonable feedback. Now, I just can't wait to see the final result after the touchup done. I would definitely recommend Natalie if you are looking for a professional PMU artist. read more
