When making the decision to take a microblading/micro shading course, I searched on Instagram for several weeks. I searched all over the Bay Area and was even considering taking the drive down to SoCal if I found a brow trainer I liked there. This was my first time becoming certified and I knew that I had to be 100% committed and sure of my decision before preparing to pay over $2k. I came across Carly's Instagram and reached out to her, as I did with several other brow artists. I liked her microblading/shading style as well as her content. But more than that, she responded quickly unlike many other artists I messaged. Onto the course...... I took the 2 day microblading & micro shading course. Both days started with a lecture, then practice and ended with a live model. The course was packed with lots of info and Carly goes over everything while answering all of our questions that came up. Carly was warm, kind and patient. If you are searching for a brow course, look no further. Prior to taking the course I felt nervous and unsure. Now I feel so comfortable and much more confident to start my new business. I had such a fun time with the girls and feel so lucky to have found Carly. I'll def be taking her brow removal course in the future! read more

Brows By Carly - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Campbell, California

Tattoo on my nose She wasn't paying attention and ran the tattoo tool into into the bridge of my nose.You can't be sloppy with permanent make up I went in for eye liner tattoo and she tattooed my nose and told me saline would remove it and after 2 tries and 3 months it's mine to keep I have a big black dot the size of a pencil eraser on the bridge of my nose and it will be there forever The frustrating thing is that she doesn't seem to care and if I did this to someone I would check in with them and see how it's progressing and offer a solution or resolution. Don't chance it !!!! read more

Brows By Carly - Here's my nose tattoo - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Campbell, California

I did my research and browsed around at different tattoo artists, when I was referred to Carly. I saw her portfolio on social media and was highly impressed. I have barely any eyebrows from the 90's grunge era lol. Carly is a perfectionist and will listen to your needs and wants and provide the best recommendations. My brows are completely revamped and improved! I've gotten so many compliments and absolutely love how natural but defined they look. She took her time and made sure I approved before walking out the door! 10/10 highly recommend for your brow treatments and tiny tattoos read more

I was so excited to have my daughter & I get our tiny tattoos with Carly. We were happy with that service, however, Carly has no sharps containers, autoclave, consents, nor a safe body art set up as defined by California law. I will now be looking into her registration. We waited outside in the cold for her to show up & told us she had an emergency. Not only that but I had booked a brow service with Carly without being shown her non-refundable deposit clause, not signing anything and not receiving a verbal response. She sent me a text canceling her appointment with me. Which was fine. She could no longer book a Saturday. I'm in healthcare. I can't take work off on a whim, so I asked for my deposit back. She has refused to pay that back & has not paid me a $50 deposit that she took when she canceled an initial tattoo appointment, when she told me I would be paid back. Do not allow this woman to take a deposit...she will cancel, tell you that you are getting money back & not pay you back. I'll go to someone much more reputable & responsible, while I have Venmo work on getting my deposit back. As they stated they will freeze her account until she pays me back. read more

A friend recommended Carly for microblading and saw that her eyebrows were done well and she with only one session and paid $350. I had my first session done a month ago and Im scheduled for my follow up. So far I can say microblading is a wonderful idea and saves you time in the morning as long its done to your liking. I would do it again as long as I am satisfied with the work. Unfortunately I cant say Im happy with the work for a few reason. I still have a good amount of hair that grows in and mostly was looking to fill in the patches. Ive been letting my eyebrows grow where she shaved off alot of it because I plan to ask her to follow the outline of my natural shape. I felt like my eyebrows were thinned out and had very little shape and a very short tail. Another thing that I cant get past is one eyebrow is lower than the other. I had mentioned this to her during the mapping but Carly stated she did it that way because one of my eyes is lower than the other. I figure I have never done this before and I would trust her and the process but now I cant stop seeing this issue in the mirror and it makes it much more apparent that one side of my face is lower than the other side. When I talked with my friend who recommended her, she was quite disappointed. She was shocked with the work and so far I have paid $800. I'll admit Im very anxious to pay further for the work done so far but I already paid for the $100 and feel stuck to go. For my next appt, I will be more direct on my expectations and see if this changes the outcome. I'll be sure to update my review after my next appt. read more

I have been wanting to get microblading done for such a long time, but because it's on your face (obviously) I've been incredibly picky. Carly's work stood out to me and I've followed her for a while and finally set up and had my appointment this evening. She was extremely professional and kind. She made sure I was extra happy with the shaping before anything. She explained the aftercare for me after and gave me some goodies to help. I also recently had foot surgery and so I am on crutches, but Carly was so accommodating and made sure she was there to help if I needed it! I couldn't recommend her more! Professional, kind, down to earth, and a sweetheart! read more

Full disclosure, this pic is day 2, no make up, oily skin, blemishes and all but I am in love with the work Carly did on my eyebrows. It was actually a correction of microbladding work I had done a year ago by someone that just simply didn't stand behind her work. I am so happy to wake up with my new eye brows by Carly. She is professional and a perfectionist. I will continue going back to Carly even though she is 2 hours away from my house in Sacramento. The drive back and forth to San Jose was a bit tiring but totally worth it. I give 5 stars for the detail, pre-work and great results. read more

I never post reviews on Yelp, but Carly definitely deserves this. I had microblading done two years ago (not by Carly) and they didn't turn out the way I had wanted. I was supposed to go to a follow up appointment after 4 weeks from the initial appointment but never went because my eyebrows were so dark. I thought maybe with time, they would fade. I was completely wrong and regretted getting them done in the first place and was looking into getting them removed a few months ago. Somehow I found Carly on Facebook and trusted her judgement. Happy to say, I just completed my 4th session of removal/lightening and so happy with the results. My eyebrows are now lighter and much more natural. read more

Carly was very professional and kind. She is a very talented artist and I love my new brows!! Thanks Carly!!!

I went in for microblading and was a bit nervous. Carly made me feel very comfortable and in the end... I absolutely loved the way my brows came out!! Carly took her time and made sure the shape was perfect. She made the strokes look very natural and chose the perfect color. She provided after care balm and instructions, she was very informative and responsive. My brows healed in about 10 days and since then I have gone in for my touch up. She made sure to make my brows more full during the touch up, and again.... I absolutely love them. I am soooo happy with my new brows and would definitely recommend Carly's services. read more

I don't know what happened? I FINALLY hot a touch up up appointment for my brow, I show up and she refused to touch up and kept pushing for the lightening treatments!! "Either I refund your $50 or we can start lighting treatment? Im standing there like wtf? I'm in dire need of a touch up 8 mos? Carly says, you have plenty tint there done by how many artist.." I ONLY HAD 2 AND YOU WERE THE ONE I SEEN THE LONGEST AND YOU WERE THE ONE WHO RECENTLY DID MY MICROBLADING AND SHADING. You did my brows and they were great! And now you say NO??? Then she says, "I had less experience then to know about too much tint" Omg, that was just last year!!! Obviously, only out to make $, not care for client, me. I only went back because she wouldnt refund my deposit even after giving her more then 72hour notice 8 mos ago...Which is strange anyway to keep you I guess. Her attitude was like she didn't want to bother with me, she was rude and had a better then me manner. Sometimes Karmas a bitch and I do hope you felt better treating a client like nothing...FINALLY GOT MY DEPOSIT BACK BUT NOT THROUGH KINDNESS OF HER COLD HEART. CARLY DEFINITELY DID MY ASS A FAVOR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE SHE CAN OBVIOUSLY THROW A CLIENT OUT LIKE TRASH & THATS EXACTLY WHAT SHE MADE ME FEEL LIKE,.

I have been checking out brow pages for a very long time. The one thing that's held me back is the inconsistency of work. After seeing Carly's beautiful work on friends and family I knew I had to get in to see her. I just got ombré brows done this past Friday and I couldn't be happier. I am in the healing phase where they aren't looking their best but I have already received so many compliments. I am so happy with my new brows. I highly recommend Carly if you're looking for a knowledgeable trained and talented professional. She is so sweet and personable also. read more

To say that Carly is amazing is an understatement. Not only did she transform my brows from a previous micro-blading experience but she helped me gain confidence I thought I would never have. I decided to take her course for ombré brows and I was so thankful I did. This was my first try at anything related to the beauty industry. Not only was she patient but she took the necessary time to walk me through each component. Because of Carly I'm now working towards becoming a brow artist and hopefully making it a career. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is incredibly positive, motivating, trustworthy, driven, and most of all so empowering to other people. She was so sweet, and extremely genuine. You won't regret going to Carly whether it's for brows, lips, or training. Such a great human and so talented! read more
