I cannot express to you how scared I was of trusting someone enough to do my brows!!!! I've searched and searched and could not find someone who I trusted enough to do my brows UNTIL I've seen Mel's work! For starters, she is very sweet, funny yet very professional. Before scheduling an appointment, I've asked her so many questions on what would work best for me and she responded fast, and answered every single question I had and became comfortable enough that I booked an appointment almost instantly ! She paid attention to detail, she checks on you to make sure you're comfortable and asks how the pain is. The procedure was tolerable ! Turned out better than I expected, that I fell asleep during this process. She checked up on me to make sure I am doing ok and to let her know if I'd like changes or anything after it's healed. I am so thankful that she was the one who did my brows & I loved working with her. She's amazing ! I love love love my brows !!!!!! And she's just a caring and good person overall! She loves her job ! AND she's the best at it !!!! Plus, their office is super relaxing! Love it !!!! read more

Update - 9 months later after first going to Mel. I have now trained with her and learned the artistry of permanent makeup and ombré powder brows myself! Melanie was the best teacher, mentor, trainer, and person to guide me through this. I couldn't have hoped or wished for a better person for the job. Her manual was thorough, her tool kit was out of this world, and she broke everything down step by step from what we needed to do before training, during training, and even after. She also got pig skin for us to practice on!!! I was sooo nervous to do my live model on day 2 but I felt so accomplished after it was over. I was extremely confident with her by my side and correcting any of my oopsies. She treated us to lunches and I could tell she was coming from a place and genuine love and care. She wasn't just training for the money, she truly wishes success upon us. I enjoyed learning from her just as much as I did getting my services done by her. Highly recommend training with Mel If you are thinking about getting into this industry! I feel like I've gained a lifelong friend and supporter (: read more

Mel is amazing at what she does and I would definitely recommend going to her above anyone else around! I was a bit of a challenge for her because i went in with zero brows but she really took her time and gave me perfect brows for my face and made sure i was absolutely satisfied with the way they looked before continuing.. I absolutely love my brows! I was very nervous before going in because I have a nerve disorder called Trigeminal Neuralgia which is very painful but she really catered to my needs and made sure I had as little pain as possible.. Amazingly throughout the whole process my pain level stayed at a minimum.. I even fell asleep at one point!! Mel really loves what she does and as soon as u walk into her shop u know u are in good hands.. Its been almost a week since i got mine done and they r already competely healed and look amazing!! I cant wait to go back for my touchup!! Thank u sooo much Mel for boosting my confidence and being such a sweetheart!! See u soon for my complimentary touchup read more

Melanie's Ombré brow training is amazing! She's very detailed, and determined to help her students learn as much as possible. I had tons of questions throughout my training with her and she was more than happy to answer all of my questions! She was very confident in her work and curriculum. Her skill is spot on! She also did some work on my brows, saying that I LOVE my eyebrows is just an understatement! They look spectacular I have gotten so many compliments. My eyebrows are still healing, I'm so excited for to see how bomb they heal! I literally traveled across the US (via airplane) just to come train with Mels, IT WAS WORTH EACH AND EVERY DOLLAR. I should've came sooner! Melanie's training was the best beginning to my career! THANK YOU SO MUCH MELS I honestly highly recommend Melanie's services. Being able to see her working her art was a great experience for me. She makes each and every one of her clients feel confident and safe. BEST SERVICE read more

I loved the work and service I've received with Mel! She knew how I was when it came to my brows and how perfect i wanted it to be. For myself. Every time she had me look at her progress, i pointed out something i didn't like & she fixed it! She never showed any signs of irritation or frustration whenever i pointed a flaw. Instead, she asked me to lay back down and went back to work. Once she perfected it, we both let out a sigh of relief, because of how much time and focus we invested to get the eyebrows detailed to par. Not only that, it's been about 4 days post, and every day she's checked in to see how the peeling process is going. Asking and answering any questions i may have. Reassuring me that the phases are absolutely normal! I love my eyebrows & I can not wait to go to my touch up, so we can perfect it even more! (If need be, lol) Thanks for your work, Mel! read more

Couldn't decide if I should go with microblading or the powder ombré on my eyebrows. My eyebrows are really thin/sparse and idk which procedure would go best with it. I messaged Mel to ask a few question before I book my appointment and it only took me a few minutes to decide. During my session...Mel took her time to map out the shape of my eyebrows and made sure I was satisfied with them. I felt really comfortable during the whole procedure I honestly even fell asleep a few times lol she explained everything every step of the way and made sure I was ok. Her hands were so light I could barely feel anything. It took quite some time but it was worth it!! My experience overall was great!! I like the fact that she keeps in touch with her clients after the procedure to make sure we heal ok or to make sure if everything's ok. I'm really excited to go back for my touch up!! read more

Mel was my trainer and as someone new to this beauty world I would say she did an amazing job. She is very patient and teaches at a great pace. Honestly I would recommend her smaller 1 on 1 classes over the huge 30 student classes offered by large companies because the small 1 on 1 classes allow you to be more yourself and ask questions also you can structure the class around your own needs and learning pace which is why I chose Mel. She does a great job and followed up with me after to see how my brow journey was going. I have yet to return for my 2 sit in sessions but I will soon and that's another thing large classes do not offer so before you choose a teacher or class to join give her a call and just compare what's out there first I promise you'll be happy you did she does a great job. read more

Mel is extremely talented at what she does. I found her online and read great reviews along with visited her website to see more of her work and Instagram so I immediately booked an appointment it was a 3month wait but let me tell you it was so very worth it. Everything was handled so professionally and the communication was clear. The deposit went toward the total cost which I liked. My eyebrows are amazing very natural and clean I don't have to touch them. I trusted her with my face and she did not disappoint. Her space is super cute and welcoming the process was pretty painless and I have a low pain tolerance but it went by quickly. Fresno has a gem with her! Going back for perfecting in a couple of months. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THANK YOU MELS!! read more

Mel has truly improved my life I struggled on a daily basis trying to get my brows "perfect". Being born with a lazy eye that is smaller in size, makes it hard to make them even. Mel did not skip a beat ! She is professional and friendly. She ensures that what you want is what you will get. Even after my session she reached out to ask if how everything was. and I had questions EVERY SINGLE DAY she she responded every single time. It is important to her how and what her customers want. I have done consults with other brow artist, but they do not compare to why I choose Mel. She genuinely cares about the affect her work has on her clients, and it feels as though you have made a life long friend ! read more

You're saving lives out here Mel. I was so nervous on the day before and the day of my appointment, but Mel made me feel right at home when I walked in and said good morning. She was so easy to talk to and so understanding of my liking and indecisiveness. Seriously, I felt bad for Mel because she had to put up with me. She was so patient, honest and sweet to me. She answered all my questions, needs and concerns at ease and did some humming and singing to help calm my nerves during the process. She is a natural at what she does including the singing and humming. It's only been a couple of days and I'm loving my brows, I cannot wait to see the end result. Keep up the awesome work! read more

Mel was super accomadating to schedule me in on a day that she was off and I was in town. She made sure that I was happy with the shape and did her magic! Walked out of there feeling great! Mel is honestly a gem in Fresno! She loves what she does and her work truly shows it. Also my first time getting tattoo'd so I was already scared of the pain but it honestly didn't hurt! I also squeezed in an hour of sleep! And I'm even considering on getting tattoos based on this experience, but we shall see. Get your brows done by Mel! You won't regret it! Trust her! She knows what she's doing! read more

Took my mother in law for her eyebrows and she wasn't disappointed at all! Matter of fact she can't stop looking at them! Mel was really clear with the procedure and the after care. she took her time and did my mother in laws eyebrows EXACTLY how she wanted them! Like I said she's IN LOVE with them lol and Mel has a great personality very easy to get comfortable with, she also keeps it very professional and legit my mother in law can't wait to go in for her touch up I highly recommend going to her! read more

OMG!  My eyebrows are on fleek (something I wasn't used to seeing on my face before)!  Mel was very accommodating and flexible.  She definitely wanted to please even if it meant taking longer with the shape I wanted.  Her hands were so light during the session that I could barely feel any pain.  Definitely the friendliest person and focused artist I've ever met... Shoot - we were practically besties after my afternoon with her!  She is a MUST CHOOSE for anyone who wants the perfect brows! read more

I waited to do my review because they say the heal results speak for it. Let me tell you. I am in LOVE with them. So natural looking!!! That's what I had asked for:) I was so afraid of getting my brows done because I didn't want them to look fake. I cancelled my appointment before with other artist. I'm so glad that I choose Mel. The process wasn't as bad as I anticipated it. Can't wait for my touch up session!!! I highly recommend Mel as your artist!!!!! read more

I'm in love with my new brows!! Mel was extremely professional, sweet, and a pleasure to work with! Her studio was nice, neat, and thoroughly cleaned. I was very impressed. It was a little hard for me to locate, but she was a doll, and waited upstairs to waive me in the right direction. I would recommend her to anyone who is nervous and picky! She did an absolutely gorgeous job, I get compliments daily! Thanks Mel! read more

I love my eyebrows, I been thinking about getting my eyebrows done for years but has been hard to find the perfect eyebrow technician, when I came across Mel I checked her work I got them done and I love them, she naps them out and makes you confident to pick the right shape for your face.
