Fanny is AMAZING!! I have been thinking about permanent makeup for awhile because I suck at drawing in my own eyebrows. My eyebrows are okay..but they were too short...hence giving my face an "incomplete" look. As a birthday present, my mom allowed me to get my eyebrows tattooed ($200.) I had been doing some research online (as well as on yelp) and I finally narrowed down choices to Fanny's. I checked out her convenient web page at www.fannyskincare.com and review her artwork (there are pictures!!) and also her prices are pretty reasonable. So, my mom and I went into Fanny's one day and asked about how permanent eyebrow works and Fanny was really nice to us the whole time! She explained the process, showed us before-and-after pictures, and also gave me a take-home gel to apply to my brows. The process was painless (well..more like it felt like tweezing your own eyebrows the whole time)..because Fanny applied a numbing cream and she was off to work. I'm not so sure how much permanent eyeliner will hurt....I'm thinking about getting it. Fanny is super friendly and immediately went to work right after I filled out a form with my information and signed. I didn't even make an appointment, but Fanny did not mind. You also get TWO free touch-ups and you have to use them within one year after the date you get your eyebrows done. Fanny also does facials, waxing, mole removals, and other services...I have not tried them yet...but will give her facials a shot one day. I highly recommend Fanny! =D read more

I have wanted to write this review for Fanny for a long time because it is hard to find good quality...I have gone to Fanny throughout the years for permanent makeup including eyes, lips, and eyebrows. She is clean and uses quality products that do not fade to unnatural colors over time such as blue and green- instead they fade to brown. She has a steady hand and is an excellent artist with the natural ability to tattoo very thin straight lines and because she is a makeup artist she knows what looks good on each person's face type. She will start off conservatively at first in terms of thickness, color, etc as she knows that it is permanent and she wants her clients to be happy in the long run. I have always appreciated this about her. Anyone who thinks that permanent makeup is a one stop process needs to understand that it is not the case- there are touch ups involved. Fanny has always had a warm and welcoming personality and she aims to please her clients. She offers her professional opinion and will work with you on the exact shape you want, etc. by drawing it out. I have brought her photos to show her how I wanted my eyeliner drawn and she was able to work with that. For those of you who are worried about pain, she will put a topical anesthetic on the area to lessen your sensitivity. She works fast and you will be in and out in no time and will be so impressed with her work that you will not be thinking about pain. I highly recommend that if you are considering permanent makeup you go only to Fanny because even though other places may be cheaper, you get what you pay for in terms of skill level and product. I had been to another person who had done a terrible job on my eyebrows and Fanny was able to fix them and make them look beautiful- thank God. Your face is not something you want to mess with or be cheap about and her prices are reasonable and she is worth every penny. BTW, I work as a Buyer so if I endorse a person/product, it better be LEGIT! read more

I wanted to write a review for my experience with fanny. I come to fanny in February to get my eyebrows tattooed after had poor results at another place, Fanny corrected my eyebrows and did a way better job she was very knowledgeable and explained everything. After my second visit she made adjustments eyebrows looked good even though I had to come a third time to her to make a few small adjustments due to a couple of little spots the ink didn't take she did an amazing job. Fanny is very professional and a sweet lady. I will be her forever customer. read more

I was encouraged to get permanent make-up from my cousin. So, I had my cousin set an appointment for me. I had my brows and upper eyelids done. I do not regret it at all. I LOVE being able to wake up in the mornings and not have to fuss with my eyebrows and liner. If I want some pizazz, I add some color, by honestly, most days I do not touch my eyes. Fanny was warm and welcoming upon entering her establishment. She showed photos of the before and after. She has colors which are natural dyes (not ink that will fade to blue/great after time). She explained the colors and best color for my skin and hair color. And, after getting started, the process went fairly quickly. Granted, the process on the eyelids as compared to the eyebrows was more uncomfortable. fI went thicker on the liner, because that is how I normally draw my liner. So, the process took longer than for many other people. That being said, Fanny's hands are very steady. She is able to draw straight lines. Fanny is clean and uses sterile equipment. If you ask, she will show you the new needles she uses for the procedure. I would recommend Fanny for the permanent make-up. read more

A friend of mine recommended I try Fanny for permanent makeup. I was a little scared, but when I got there Fanny was really welcoming. She asked if I wanted to see photos of other customers. She brought out albums of prior customers' photos so I could see her work. I got my permanent eyeliner on my upper eyes done. I went with a medium thickness because I don't normally wear makeup and was afraid that it would be too fake looking. It took about a month to heal. In retrospect I should have gone with a thicker eyeliner because it's not that noticeable. Fanny offers a free touch up (must be done one year from service) so I will definitely go back for that. Overall it was a good experience. read more

I have very light eyebrows and I have been getting my eyebrows, upper, and lower eyeliner done by Fanny for 4 years. I've been to Faces Plus, Venus Permanent Makeup, a makeup place in Kentucky, and Fanny's Skin care. FANNY IS BY FAR THE BEST!!!!! She makes sure everything is PERFECT. She is very talented! She is by far the best permanent makeup artist out there. She is very nice and friendly. She is very professional and her studio is very clean. Fanny is very experienced and ALWAYS does a great job. My sister gets her makeup done by Fanny as well. She loves it also. I LOVE MY EYELINER AND EYEBROWS THANKS TO FANNY!!!!! Go to Fanny. You will not regret it. It saves so much time to not have to pencil on your makeup and eyebrows in the morning. read more

I've only been to Fanny for an eyebrow wax but she is GREAT! She did a really good job on them (although mine aren't too hard to do) but she has great customer service. I had gone in once before as a walk in on a Saturday morning. It was slow and no one was in there. She was on the phone trying to get something sorted out with her credit card (which is understandable since there was no customers in her shop) when she saw me she apologized and said she would take me in just a moment. After a few minutes of waiting I could see she felt upset that the phone call was taking longer then she expected and told them she would call back. She apologized profusely, which to me was unnecessary since I had not had an appointment. I thought it was really nice that she hung up her phone call to take me. She did a great job. Another time I called and made an appointment at 530 since I don't get home from work till then. I found out she is only opened till 5 but agreed to wait for me. I told her it was fine and I could come another time, but she was so sweet and insisted it was not problem. OF COURSE the one day I had to get home in time there was an accident and traffic was jammed up. I called her and told her there was no way I could make it by then that I probably wouldn't get there till 545 or 6 so not to bother waiting. She said it was not problem and she would wait. I rushed in and felt so bad for making her wait, and was greeted by her with a smile telling me not to worry about it. She did another great job on my eyebrows and only charged me the normal $10. Of course I left her a huge tip, but I thought it was so sweet she stayed late for a $10 eyebrow wax! Fanny is AWESOME and you can feel good knowing you are giving your business to a wonderful lady! read more

I went to Fanny at least 10 years ago for permanent eyeliner. Whatever she used was fantastic, because over the years it's faded to just a lighter shade of black. Not green or blue or weird. I want to go back soon! read more

Just Awesome!! Love my eyebrow... she takes her time and no pain at all!! Thanks Fanny. Sweet Lady

Why did I wait so long to see Fanny? She's wonderful. I have heard of Fanny and seen her work through friends over the years and they all rave about her. Recently I decided to have her do permanent make-up (liner and brows). I wish I had seen her years ago. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. It is literally night and day. My eyes are now my strongest asset where as before they were almost invisible. The whole process took about an hour and there was almost no discomfort at all. She is just a lovely person: so professional and concerned with your comfort. Her rates are so reasonable too, especially considering her long experience and great reputation. The location is very convenient and the interior of her shop is very confortable, peaceful and private. Since having the permanent make-up done, I became a regular facial customer too. I bought a 10 time package which was reasonablly priced and it now gives me a reason to take care of my skin on a regular basis. The improvement is very noticeable. I recommend Fanny to all my my friends and family. read more

FANNY IS AWESOME!!! I went with my friends to first do upper lid and eyeliner 10 months ago. I was so nervous!!! I went last out of my other 3 friends because I wanted to watch how the procedure was done. Two of my friends were going for a touch up 14 years later from Fanny. So I trusted that she has had many years of experience under her belt. I am a dental hygienist and I had a lot of concerns about cleanliness and the sterilization of the tools. Fanny showed me the unopened packages of the new needles and her sterlization routine. She also showed me her license in this particular field. She explained step by step each procedure before she did things. She uses a numbing agent and if you need a break or more numbing cream she will gladly give you what you need to make sure you are comfortable. I just went back to do my eyebrows and I love the result!!! She gives you 1 free touch up to use within the year. I have referred my mom, cousin, and my friends to her. She has more than 25 years of experience and definitely knows what she is doing!!! :) read more

Looking for permanent eyebrow, this is it - Fanny's Skin Care! My friend introduced me to Fanny and I had the best result with her gentle hands. I had my permanent eyebrow from another place in the outer sunset and was totally disappointed. I went to Fanny and explained what I needed done. She was thorough with her work. She listens to my needs, drew and outline my eyebrows and then shows me for approval before she starts the whole process of the permanent work. She gives you a free touch up within a year. The price is reasonable. I was impressed by my first visit to this place. Fanny was patient and her passion to make a person's beauty come alive is the result of her great work. Fanny's Skin Care is CLEAN, COMFORTABLE and she CARES about you. read more

Fanny: an extraordinary artist. I have had the pleasure of going to Fanny for my brows and upper lid lines now for about 3 years. Fanny has always been very pleasant to me, trying to accomodate my appointment availability and has always done excellent work. Being male, I was initially hesitant about having my brows tattooed, but the results are so natural I believe she has turned me from an okay-looking guy to a handsome one, all with the skills of an excellent artist. The results have always been (after about a week) very natural looking. And she cheerfully offers free touch-ups. Like me -- only better! read more

Margaret, Marie and I have been going to Fannie for 25 years. We first went there on the recommendation of Flora. We got our eyeliner tattooed back then and they still look great. I recently had my eyebrows done and they are also great. We've been going to Fannie for our Facials as well. She has great prices and does an incredible job. We had our mustache's waxed as well the other day., and I had an age spot removed that was more painful than the tattoo eye liner. read more

Fanny does it AGAIN! She's just a wonderful person with a great heart and spirit! I enjoy so much giving my business to small businesses that truly appreciate providing me with the ultimate best service they can. 2 weeks ago, I finally went in for my eyeliner touch up from earlier this year, and yesterday I treated myself to some new eyebrows! I've had brows done elsewhere and have always had issues with fading. Tattooing is so permanently final, so I'm hesitant about going too dark, too heavy, too soon. Since I'm in a professional career, I like having the option of going dark and wide when it's necessary -which is- when I have an evening that requires "the look". That said, I really appreciate Fanny's inclusion of a touch up within the first year. My brows (and liner) are perfect. I wake up in the morning, and can visibly see the strategic work of her craft, and as a result, I instantly feel "put together" without even being officially "put together". Thank YOU Fanny! I appreciate you! All The Best~ read more

Fanny did a wonderful job on my permanent eyebrows! I'd been debating having them tattooed for years (mine have always been too thin and too light for my coloring) and was nervous about taking the final step. She was pleasant, warm, and polite as she chatted away during the procedure. Her office is clean and comfortable, and she is self-assured without being pushy. I wanted a vintage 1940's brow and she completely gave me the subtle effect I wanted! She let me know the first few days after would leave me with an "intense" look (haha...), but to expect natural results soon. My friends barely noticed except to say "you did your eyebrows perfectly today".. (they are all aware of my childhood nickname "Casper" and have seen my eyebrow penciling skills vary from day to day). I get compliments all the time on them and she offers a free touch up within the year as well! I will be going back to her for any other treatment I need in this department. Oh, and did I mention the price is right?! Most places charge $500, Fanny charges $200. read more

Fanny is awesome! My mom has been going to her for years but I didn't listen. I went to a place in San Jose where my aunt suggested...she was so rude and it was just a bad experience. She refused to tattoo my brows how i wanted them. Today Fannys fixing what she did. I'm grateful. Thanks Fanny and Mom. read more

I wrote a review last year but it never posted. My sister and I had our eyebrows fixed by Fanny because another location did not have room to fit us in for two months. We lost out on our touch-up at the other location but Fanny did a better job with our eyebrows. She spends time to draw them out with you and make sure that you are happy before you leave. I just went for my one touch-up with Fanny and I always appreciate the time and attention. read more

I have been going to Fanny's for over a year. I call the day before I need an appointment, leave a message of when I can come in, Fanny calls back to confirm. In the morning there is easy street parking. I am in and out in about 30 minutes. If Fanny is running a little behind, she has even offered to go feed my parking meter! Prices are so reasonable. I take my daughter with me, we both have our eyebrows waxed, next month, I'm treating her to a facial! read more

I've gone to Fanny several times over the past few years. She has a gentle touch and always does what you request. I plan on going to see her again6 I can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks again Fanny read more

I came here to get my permanent eyeliner and Fanny did a great job. Her prices are very reasonable and she also gives great facials. She is also very professional and knows what she's doing since she has lots of experience. If you think about all the money you spend on make up through out the years on eyeliner pencils your 'e better off getting it permanently done and not have to ever spend money on that stuff again. Plus you can wake up to your eyeliner/eyebrows/lips already on instead of putting it on every morning. read more

Fanny is the best! I have been to 2 other permanent makeup professionals in the bay area, but she is by far the best in quality, skills, and value. Her prices are fair, her hand is as quick and steady as a surgeon's and she is a sweetheart to boot. I have been receiving eyebrow touch-ups from Fanny ever since I moved back to SF about 6 years ago. My only complaint is her services are so good I hardly need to see her! I love the free touch-ups and the results are top notch. Everyone is surprised I've had my eyebrows done (they don't look fake) and then they want to know where I had them done. Well, look no further than Fanny's for professional results that will leave you smiling! read more

This is a terrific service! I have had Fanny do my lips ,eyes and eyebrows. For those of you that constantly use lipliner and lipstick, I highly recommend starting with the permanent makeup for lips because it makes getting ready so much easier - i look naturally good all the time now. Last time I tried her vegetable peel facial and it was superb - relaxes your face muscles and improves the skin tone. This is a must!! read more

Wow. i just called to ask some questions about permanent eyeliner and I just wanted to get a sense of process and products used. I should note this is something I have been SO excited to do (yet apprehensive!) and I finally got the courage to call and inquire more about it. Anyways, perhaps it was Fanny who answered - who knows. But she was entirely rude to me. I NEVER write yelp reviews but I feel compelled to do so after this phone call. When I asked if she offered multiple colors she responded like I was crazy for asking such a thing. I am a fair person and I want to know if other colors besides black are used. She told me I had to come in for her to even tell me what colors are offered - I don't need you to tell me what specific colors are used, just say yes, we offer a multiple array of colors for all skin/hair types. When I asked what type of needle/ tell me a little more about the procedure she used, I could hear her head spinning on the other end of the phone. It was almost as if she thought I was trying to steal her trade secrets - as if! This is a permanent procedure (CLOSE TO MY EYES) and I want to know that I am doing the right thing. Then when I asked about touch-ups - again, she was beyond rude and told me I had to come in because everyone is different. These are pretty basic questions that she should at least be prepared to have a pleasant answer for over the phone if she wants clients. Because the way she answered my questions - I should say she did NOT answer them, she in fact refused to answer them - I would NEVER step foot in here even for a consult. I honestly don't think this review even reflects how rude Fanny's was. read more
