Dao and her staff are the best of the best! I've been to Dao Brows twice in the last 2 months, once for brows and once for lip blushing. Each visit was thorough, extremely pleasant, and professional. If you are considering permanent makeup, you must have one of the professionals at Dao Brows do it for you! You will be so happy with the results! read more

I had an amazing experience at Dao Brows Permanent Makeup Studio! My artist, Brooke, touched up my eyeliner and did powder ombré brows for me for the first time, and I am absolutely obsessed with the results. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so welcoming and the entire staff was incredibly sweet and professional. They walked me through the entire procedure step-by-step and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. They even used a numbing product, which made the procedure surprisingly painless. Brooke really listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. The results turned out even better than I imagined! I'm already excited to go back for my touch-up and I'm definitely planning to get my lips done in the future. If you're considering permanent makeup, I would 100% recommend Dao Brows. Every team member there is amazing and truly cares about giving you the best results! read more

The studio was clean and professional, and the artist spent a lot of time during the appointment. I'm currently feeling anxious about some asymmetry and the appearance of the outer left brow area, but the brows are still very fresh and healing. The artist has recommended waiting until the healing stage is complete before evaluating whether any correction or touch-up is needed, so I'm giving the process more time before making final conclusions about the result. read more

I lost most of my eyebrows to over plucking in the 90s and then I got breast cancer and went through chemo. My eyebrows have been so patchy since chemo, and when I try to do them myself everyday, they end up crooked. I never thought I would have eyebrows like these! Brooke (shop manager) was so easy to get a hold of and ask questions. She was tremendously helpful and friendly. The atmosphere of the shop is beautiful, peaceful, and so clean. Dao was absolutely fabulous for my powder ombré brow. She was so kind and patient with me. She spent time explaining every step to me and asking me how I was during the procedure. She explained the healing process also in great detail. She set my mind at ease with her confidence, expertise, and making sure I was involved. She has a huge heart for chemo patients and it showed. I will absolutely recommend all of my friends to her. Her schedule opens up once a month on the first so set your alarm calendar and get it if you can. She is the absolute best and I'm sure her whole team is also! Cheers! read more

Dao Brows Permanent Makeup - Before and after. I'm amazed! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Everything was really lively; very professional and I was impressed by the process throughout-

This was a maintenance appointment after my initial powder ombre brow booking in 2024. Brooke was my artist, and she is so lovely, talented and personable. The studio is beautiful and spotless. The directions/instructions before arrival tackle every question, and the post care text is very informative. I have been so happy with my brows. Well worth the investment. Dao Brows sets the bar! xo read more

I first went to Dao Brows in September 2025 where I had a consultation with Jessie. After 4 visits with Jessie that spanned over 13 months, my eyebrows are shaped great but Jessie was hesitant to add the dark brown color I kept requesting. Jessie ended up moving out of state last October 2025. On February 1,2026 I attempted to book a touch up appointment with Dao as Jessie stated during our final appointment in September 2025 that I could schedule my next appointment with Dao. Per the online booking notes it says that we need to wait for the first of every month at 10:00AM MST to see Davos upcoming availability for appointments. 10AM came and after repeated attempts, the calendar would not appear with available dates. I sent an email requesting to see if it would be possible to book with Dao after explaining everything and was told that since Dao did not provide the services that I would not be able to book with her as represented on her website. The email response was not from Dao but they said Dao was aware of this issue & that she was unaware of what Jessie told me. I would not have bothered trying to schedule an appointment with Dao if Jessie had not specifically told me Dao would allow me to since Jessie was moving out of state. Since Jessie's rates were the same as Daos and Jessie is no longer with Daos Brows, I am at a loss. That I would need to book with one of the other junior staff. After spending over $1200.00 at this business in the span of 13 months I would have expected better customer service. I will ensure my friends, coworkers and family go somewhere else for these types of services since it's apparent they don't treat customers with respect and want to pick and choose when to follow what is listed on their website. I don't understand how they claim I need to follow their website rules yet the calendar to schedule a time wasn't opened up at 10AM as listed online and their former employee told me Dao would allow me to book with her going forward. Evidently that was a lie and after wasting a year, I will find another location to give me the dark brown color brows I requested to begin with. read more

First PMU ever! And I am so happy that I went to Dao Brows! Dao was so sweet! She walked me through the whole process from analyzing my skin type to sketching to tattooing. I did not feel any discomfort at all as first timer getting a tattoo. She is a perfectionist which I love because I am one myself! My brows came out so beautiful and stunningly natural! read more

Came for my 16 month follow up. First, make sure you write down your date or call to figure out when you're one year is. It's extra post 12 months. I did not mind but I mistakenly thought it had been a year when it had been longer. The follow up was easy. It took a few hours but I'm happy with the results. I don't wear any make up so it's been a wonderful addition to my overall day to not worry about my eyebrows. The photos are the day of the touch up and two months later. read more

I've been going to Dao since late 2018. I remember when it was just Dao alone in her shop. Microblading was newer to the brow game so finding an artist that knew what they were doing and produced quality work wasn't common. I traveled to see Dao from Arizona to New Mexico for this exact reason. 6 years later, regardless of how popular it's become, I still choose Dao and her team over and over again. The growth over the last few years isn't the only proof of her success, the loyalty is the other piece. Yes, there are many artists locally, but what I appreciate about Dao is she's never stopped being a student. She's constantly growing and learning with the current environment. She evolves and she adapts. She expects her team to do the same. She's a sponge and always looking to move her business forward. The cherry on top is her authenticity. Dao is the same person she was 6 years ago, just richer and with a couple more dependents, haha. She's true to herself, she's true to her clients, and she's one of the best in the game. Thank you, Dao! For everything! Continued luck, love and blessings in all you do!! read more

Dao Brows Permanent Makeup - 2024 Touch up (but really not because thanks COVID #browblocker) - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I had my appointment with Dao and it was my first time getting a tattoo, let alone my first time getting my brows microshaded. So I was a little nervous but Dao made me feel so comfortable! Dao got started right away when I arrived to the appointment. First she measured and mapped out my brows; then she filled them in with a brow pencil. I got to see the color and shape of my brows before Dao tattooed them. This step of the appointment was the longest yet the most crucial. I trusted Dao's professional judgement, opinions, and attention to details, so I was happy with the outline! However I also recommend being honest during this step and telling Dao if you want her to make any adjustments to your brows. After all, your brows will be semi permanent. Dao is THE SWEETEST! She won't get offended and will 100% work with you. After shaping and mapping the brows, Dao started microshading my brows. I forgot to mention she also applied numbing cream to my brows. So the pain was nonexistent, which was awesome for me!! I didn't feel a thing. The appointment took about 2hrs. Additional information, I have normal to dry skin. I got my brows microshaded, which means it's a combination of micro blading and shading. She shaded about 2/3 of my brows and microbladed some hair strokes in the front of my brows. Dao explained the after care process after the appointment and gave me a little care kit with a shower shield for my brows. The healing process took about a week. During the cracking stage, my brows were so itchy. Dao recommended tapping on them, which did helped a lot and alleviate the itchiness!! I had my brows touched up with Dao about a couple months later. Overall, if you're thinking of getting your brows microbladed, especially at DaoBrows... DO IT!!! I cannot express what a positive difference it has made for me. Dao is a perfectionist, highly experience, and more importantly, just talented at what she does! I'm extremely happy with my brows! The color is perfect and the shape is solid and timeless! It has been almost a year since I had my brows touched up and they still look just as amazing!! Thank you Dao!!! read more

The quality of work that the technician did was great. However, my brown stain only lasted 2 days. I had them done Friday afternoon and as of Monday morning, they are gone. Bummer. read more

Appointment was rushed was not satisfied with brow design and color she did not try to make changes to accommodate me. Not professional would not go back!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Just got mine done and the results are fantastic! So glad I found her!! If you have brow struggles, she is the one to go to!! She also does other permanent make up too. She's professional, super skilled, and very good at what she does!! Get it done if you ever wondered if you could make your brows look better. I had no hair to boom! In short 2 hours, I have perfectly shaped permanent brows!!(well, semi permanent because it lasts for about 1-2 years). The location has no visible signs outside but note that it's in the Atrium building. The office is bright and clean. I was fortunate enough to get right in with the appointment but she's a pretty busy lady so make sure to plan ahead. I'm scheduled for a touch up (included) in 4 weeks. She's got a lifetime customer in me!! read more

Dao Brows Permanent Makeup - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

***UPDATE*** (in response to their reply) I really love how their response to this was you forgot to post your before... of course my before is going to be horrible because I didn't have brows before! That's just a ridiculous response. I was in no way shape or form rude when talking with them. Yes they offered for Lisa to fix them free of charge and I said can Dao please over see the appointment with Lisa to make sure that everything goes well and then Dao TOOK BACK her offer and firing me as a client. I was more than willing to have Lisa fix them I just wanted Dao to watch over as she is the owner. But obviously that's me being rude and hard to work with. ***Original review*** I have to say that I'm beyond upset with the way things were handled with Dao Brows and myself. I waited years and saved up a lot of money to go to this facility to have my brows done because the reviews were nothing short is spectacular. I paid $500 for my initial visit, then $100 for my 6 week touch up. For this price I believe it's more than fair to ask for perfection, that's that's not what I got. I expressed my concerns on my first visit to Lisa who did my brows that one side had more microblading than the other and that they were too thin for my liking and she said she would fix it next time at my touch up appointment. I was her last appointment of the day so I understood ok maybe she just doesn't want to stay longer I'll get it next time. Next time comes around I remind her what we talked about and she did make them a little thicker, added a bit more microblading, but now they're worse with bald spots included. She informed me that I would have to pay for another touch up to get them fixed to what I want them to be. I was so upset because I've paid over $700 already and they're not what I expected. I reached out to their office manager letting her know my concerns and if they could fix them. I asked if Dao could personally fix them because I wasn't comfortable with the service I had from Lisa. She rudely sent me a copy of their policies and said no. Ok... then she said Lisa could fix them free of charge. I said I wasn't confident that she would fix them could Dao at least watch over the appointment... what I got next was just shocking. Dao reached out and fired me as a client! All because I expressed concerns about what I got! She blamed me and my skin for the mistakes that Lisa did! They offered me a slight refund and basically said FU have a nice day. I cannot believe the lack of customer service! For being so highly rated I can't believe that they were so unwilling to help manage a situation that I wasn't happy with. The last thing I wanted to do was write a negative review to jeopardize their perfect reviews but there's no way I could let this go. For the amount of money they force people to pay they should be more than willing to fix any situation. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I got my brows done June of 2020 and although I was very nervous about the procedure, Dao was patient and explained everything before we began. I trusted that her years of experience working on different skin tones, textures, and ages made her an EXPERT when it came to suggesting the shape and procedure that looked the best for me. Although she is amazing at what she does, she is also always learning new methods and keeping up with trends to make sure she gives her clients the best experience! Her salon is always sanitized and you can 100% trust that she will keep you SAFE during the procedure. I haven't needed a touch up besides the initial 6 week touch up and my brows are still looking like they did ONE YEAR AGO! The pigment is still strong and I am still so IN LOVE with the shape. There are so many permanent makeup artists popping up here in ABQ, but there is a reason why Dao Brows is always booked out months in advance. I wouldn't trust anyone else other than Dao with my brows!! read more

I got the ombre powder shading done by Lisa and I could not be happier. Best money ever spent in my opinion. The facility was nice and clean. Lisa and Claudette the office manager were extremely professional. The procedure itself wasn't too painful. Lisa will answer any questions you have and Claudette is very responsive via text. If you are on the fence about getting your eyebrows done just do it. They will look amazing. I am so happy with the way mine turned out. Lisa is a true artist. I have already told so many people about Dao Brows. They are amazing! read more

I traveled from out of town because I admired Dao's work online. She was so friendly and professional! I told her how I would like my eyebrows and she created just what I asked for. She is a perfectionist and I appreciated how she took her time and really cared. She listened and her work is high quality. Her prices are very fair and I would definitely recommend! My eyebrows haven't faded and have stayed looking amazing. read more

I was, like most, apprehensive about microblading my brows because I am so particular about the symmetry and shape but I really wanted to have a professional map them out and perfect them. I'd heard from multiple close friends that Dao Brows was the best in the city. I went to senior artist Lisa who was very professional and meticulous. She mapped them and I approved the design before she did the microblading. She recommended micro shading (combo of microblading with hair strokes + shading). Communication around what to expect with healing was very thorough. I got a fun take home pack with a shower visor and everything I needed to ensure a smooth healing process (plus a few extra fun goodies-a very sweet touch). The new studio is very clean and modern. Claudine, the office manager, is wonderful-excellent communication. She also helped reschedule my touch up appointment to accommodate a conflict by seeing if another client would switch appt days with me-above and beyond! Overall an excellent experience so far. Definitely recommend. read more

Dao is amazing! There are other people who do brows and they look good, but when you see Dao's brows they are on a whole other level of amazing. She did my initial set in 2019 and not a day goes by that I regret going to see her. While we are on the subject of knowing her multiple years she makes connections with her clients and remembers you when you go back and see her for touch ups or new services. The process of getting the brows is mostly painless and the results amazing. Why go to anyone who will leave you with just good brows? Now on to the subject of permanent eyeliner. For me is was super painful and left me with 2 swollen bruised eyes for about a week, but I would go back and do it all over again because it looks so amazing. They always say pain is beauty and beauty is pain. read more

Dao is a master at her craft. After a LOT of research and Instagram stalking, I knew this was the girl I had to see. She was already booking out about 3 months but it was worth the wait. I thought about just getting microblading, but after consulting with her, I trusted her professional opinion that I would prefer the powder ombré look, since I was shading my poorly shaped brows anyways. I had thick brows to begin with, but scars never let me shape to my liking and make up always smudged off mid day. I also got eyeliner and the lip blush. Not only was Dao professional, she is easy going, answered all my questions, and there was never an awkward moment in the time I was there. My lips and eyes were a little swollen and bruised after words, which gave us both a good laugh. Words can not begin to express my satisfaction with the whole process. Looking forward to my 6 week touch up! Even though retention has been great! Do the research. Be patient. You wont be unsatisfied with results. read more

There are numerous reasons to choose DaoBrows to do your cosmetic tattoos and I've named a few below. Customer service: Dao and her team are very polite and respectful.

Dao and her team were very flexible with me from booking a date all the way to the end of the appointment. Professionalism: Dao is very knowledgeable about what she does--which is something you should expect from any good tattoo artists.

This woman is extremely talented and your lady and you are highly likely to be very satisfied with the results As the husband paying the bill however, I can tell you that when a later recommended touch up is required you will likely be extremely disappointed with the money you have spent only to find out that a very minimal number of appointments are now available by"monthly lottery" with no preference for her existing clients. No advance notice was provided that existing clients needed to find a new provider or even that her business model had changed. You have now spent a healthy chunk of change and the result is an unhappy wife. Husbands - Do Not use her!!! read more

By far the best eyebrow microblading I've ever only dreamed of. My eyebrow tech was very attentive and made sure I was very happy with my eyebrows before starting anything on me. VERY Proffesional.

For most of my life, I've had very sparse eyebrows. Until now. I went to Dao Brows and had microblading. This, by far, is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

If you're in the market for microblading, Dao is your go-to girl! She does her part and you do yours to keep them nice. The cost may seem steep to some, but it is worth every penny! It includes a touch-up and if you go back within 6 months, your touch-up is only $80! Love, love, love my whole experience! read more

A few years ago, I had my brows done by a less-than-stellar artist. I had heard about Dao Brows (rave reviews!), so I set up an appointment for a consult to correct my brows, and a couple of months later, Dao started working on them Is .
