Wow, what a wonderful experience ! I have scars on my head from hair transplant surgery. They are very numerous and noticeable. After some research I discovered what is referred to as camouflage tattoos ,also medical tattoos. I have been having this procedure done for over 10+ years and Elise is by and away the best I have been too. I just had my first session with Elise about 8 weeks ago and I still can't believe the results. You know the minute that she greets you that this is a very special person. Her dedication to her work shows. She is a perfectionist, which honestly when you are dealing with your appearance, that's something you want!. If you have scars, due to any reason, that would you like to have covered/concealed , by all means please give Elise a call and schedule an appointment. I am truly happy with the results and the overall experience. read more

I didn't get to get my eyebrows down, but I did get to have the best heart to heart session with this gorgeous soul, Elise, whose skill level is unprecedented. I should know. I'm very picky about anything being done on my face, and after she drew my brows EXACTLY the way I wanted them shaped, I was SOLD. She is a caring, kind artist. I'm scheduling an appointment for the procedure right now because I know she can deliver. read more

Elise is such an amazing artist! She is so understanding! I suffer from trichotillamania which causes me to pull out my eyelashes. She made me feel so comfortable and was empathetic. And then performed an outstanding permanent eyeliner procedure for which I am so grateful every morning when it's time to put on my face. I have gained so much confidence and this procedure has also cut my makeup time in half! Elise is the best! I have been to several permanent makeup technicians over the years and am so glad I finally found Elise here on Yelp. She knows her craft and is happy to share it. read more

Image By Elise - Natural looking Permanent eyeliner (top only) 2 days after the procedure. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I have been seeing Elise for over four years now. There's multiple reasons I keep coming back: 1) her beautiful personality, 2) her talent and eye for beautiful brows, 3) her attention to detail and patience in making sure her clients are happy. You get what you pay for. Her prices are on the higher end, but when it comes to facial tattoos you don't want to penny pinch. Her high quality colors don't fade into different shades. I have never had my eyebrows turn blue or red. Because my face is oily and since I use an acne medication that can fade my brows, I usually go in to see her for a touch up every year. Elise's work has given me more confidence, and I'm able to go to the gym or grocery store without any makeup on. I can't thank her enough!!! And honestly, she truly is a gorgeous person both inside and out :) read more

Whoohoo! I love LOVE my new eyebrows by Elise! She had already given me eyeliner and I am hooked. Not only is Elise a perfectionist, she takes her time, focuses on YOU, the look that best compliments her clients. I didn't want a "made up", looking like I had makeup on in the morning. I am a professional and she got it spot on! Soft, sophisticated, sexy, and a subtle look. I highly recommend her for any procedure you are looking for. Take your time for a wonderful experience. Elise is a top class act, and a lot of fun too! Toni T read more

I had Elise do my eyebrow tattoo one year ago and I love it. I went back a week ago for a touch up and we decided to do micro blading instead. WOW. Although the tattoo was great the micro blading was even more amazing. I'm in love with the results. read more

Elise is amazing! I saw her microblading on a friend and was in love. I was nervous about the whole process but she was great at answering all my questions and put me at ease. She is so patient and a true perfectionist!! I can't recommend her enough! Bonus - on top of being so talented, she is just an wonderful person! read more

I am SO glad I found Elise! After two failed laser tattoo removal attempts, I thought for sure I would be stuck with this mistake (aka tattoo) on my ankle forever. One easy treatment with Elise and my tattoo is 99% gone! I couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. Elise is so kind, gentle and thorough. She made me feel so comfortable during the treatment. I was terrified after laser (worst pain EVER and a horribly long recovery time) treatments! Elise's numbing solution worked like a charm and I felt very little discomfort during and even after. Compared to laser tattoo removal, this was a breeze! Less pain, less recovery time, AMAZING results, and an hour with the sweetest lady I've ever met...the only thing I wish is that I had found her sooner! I cannot wait for Elise to do my permanent makeup! Beautiful brows...here I come! read more

I recently had my eyebrows done by Elise and loved the results. Originally I had no eyebrows. When I showed up at work after having Elise do my brows, I got sooo many compliments, including being told I looked 10 years younger! Who knew what a difference they would make. I am extremely happy with my new look and if I had known, I'd have had her do my eyebrows so much sooner. Elise is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She's very sweet and warm. I felt like I've know her for years. Bottom line, I highly, highly recommend Elise, her work is perfect. read more

I came to Elise to get micropigmentation done on some scars that were bothering me for a long time. She was super nice, very attentive, and always made sure I was satisfied with the work before I left the appointments. It took a few tries, but I am so happy with my results compared to how I looked before! I would highly recommend Elise for any micropigmentation needs. read more

I was referred to Elise by my plastic surgeon. I am a breast cancer survivor and after having implants and a nipple created Had to have the Areola done. I have also had my eyebrows, eyeliner and lips done. Elise has a great eye for color and the look is natural and not Artificial. I am 65 years old and take care of myself and am told I look Younger. The permanent makeup frees up time and I can go out Without makeup although With time I use foundation and light Bronzing powder. I only wish I had done this earlier. Elise is also warm and caring and gives advice about other Beauty issue. As an former Paris and Las Vegas Lido showgirl she knows what she is talking about. Make an appointment as she books up early. You will be as delighted as I am!! read more

I have had my eyeliner done for along time with good results. Last year, I had the worst experience ever with my liner. I showed Elise pictures of the results of last year's, permanent make up disaster. . She says she has never seen anything like that before. Elise, was gentle, precise, and let me know what she was doing as she went along with her art work. She took her time with me and the results are outstanding. . I highly recommend her for all of the services she provides read more

I absolutely LOVE Image by Elise. A few years back, I had laser hair removal done. Unfortunately in doing so it took the color/pigment out of my beloved beauty mark on my right chin. I was referred to Elise and I am delighted that I was. As soon as I met Elise I felt very comfortable. She was able to tattoo my mole so it looks completely natural. Feels sexy!! I highly recommend Elise!! read more

Elise is an artist with a fantastic eye for color and contour. My plastic surgeon recommended her to camouflage white scars across my scalp following a facelift. She covered the scalp scars first, and I was pleased with her professionalism, her caring and how she took careful responsibility for the result. Her bedside manner is amazing - she worked in concert with me, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. She's upbeat, positive and very likable. While she worked, she floated creative ideas, but *together* we figured out the right answer for me. I was happy to find out that in addition to her medical work, she is also ace at strictly cosmetic permanent makeup. I went back for my permanent eyeliner and brows. I asked Elise to fix my 9 year old (too thick) permanent eyeliner that had faded to ugly blue. She crisped up black at the lash line, and came up with this FANTASTIC idea of stippling purple into the too-thick old blue liner. The result absolutely makes my green eyes POP. Old blue eyeliner problem solved! Since my eyebrows were thinning (ah, more inevitability of age), she also filled in permanent eyebrows. She draws individual hairs so the look is absolutely natural. The color she used is so compatible with the color of my eyebrow hairs and skin, it's really hard to tell that it is permanent makeup. Elise is upbeat, positive, listens amazingly well, and is super easy to work with. During the procedures, she was super sensitive to how much I was feeling, was careful to keep me comfortable with topical numbing agent. I'm all about keeping it simple. And now I feel great about leaving the house without a drop of makeup! Who knew it could be this easy?? I recommend Elise wholeheartedly and without any reservation. She is pricier than some, but worth every penny! read more

Having had permanent make-up applied in the past, with mixed results, I first did my homework to find a permanent make-up artist who was affiliated with reputable professional organizations and continues her education on the latest techniques and procedures. I then read other Yelp testimonials and then spoke to Elise personally. Having alopecia universalis (complete hair loss) I was literally a blank slate. I would often avoid physical or outdoor activities for fear of sweating or smudging my make-up. I recently had my eyebrows, upper eyelids and lower eyelids applied by Elise and I am so pleased! They look so natural and beautiful! Because of Elise's artistic eye, she even gave my eyebrows an arch which opens up my face (and I think takes a few years off of my age!) Most importantly, Elise's kind support and expert application have given me a new confidence. I recently went on a camping vacation with my family and didn't need to wear make-up other than blush and lipgloss. This was so liberating and something I haven't been able to do, even after prior permanent make-up experiences. Thank you Elise! read more

Sorry, this review is long overdue! I am really happy to have found Elise! She was great to work with. She's professional and very passionate about making sure her clients are happy with the final result. She offers a variety of services as well. I highly recommend her:) read more

Just had my eyebrows done by Elise and I couldn't be happier with the way they came out. The procedure was painless and she has really great topical numbing ointments. I have my eyebrows done before by other women and the experience wasn't as pleasant. Elise was very collaborative and thorough during the design process, which I really I appreciated. She is a true professional and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. read more

I had my lips and eyes done by Elise, and they turned out beautiful!!! She's so good and numbing was great, no pain!! Incredible attention to detail and client satisfaction! She is the best, hands down!! read more

Elise, is an artist and confidant extraordinaire. Her profession is such a confidence builder. I had multiple open heart surgeries that left me with many visible scars. There are no words that express how her talent has freed me from my past traumas and sorrow that I felt when I viewed myself in a mirror. Her camouflage with natural pigments evened out my skin tone throughout. I can't stress enough to anyone who has been hiding their body what a great value this service is to bring joy back into your life. Elise is very caring and considerate, talented and compassionate. Thank you for all you do Elise, Aleta Dunn read more

I came back to Elise for a retouch on my eyebrows. I was just as satisfied the second time as I was the first time she worked on them. I receive a lot of compliments on my eyebrows regularly. She truly is an artist and ensures to provide a natural look that compliments my face. Elise is not only extremely professional and talented at what she does, she is also sweet, funny, personable and makes the process fun! The search for finding someone to put permanent makeup on my face was not easy. After finding Elise, I don't ever want to go to anyone else. I highly recommend her services and I am going to miss her when I move to Texas in a week :( read more

Elise did a great job covering up a lot of my white spots and scars - I would highly recommend her, she is also very professional and kind.

Elise is the best. She color corrected my eyebrows and added some fullness and I am so happy with them. My life is so much easier and better with permanent makeup. My husband is happy with the look and that I get ready so fast. Elise is an expert at her profession AND a super nice person, so both the experience and outcome are AWESOME. read more

I have almost no eyebrow hair and what I do have is light blonde and basically invisible. I had them done several years ago before we moved to Newport Beach and they had faded away, so I needed to find someone local to recreate them. I am so happy that I found Elise! I researched for quite a while and felt confident about her because of the great Yelp reviews and the location of her office being at a dermatologist practice. Elise is an amazing artist and did a fantastic job creating my eyebrows! I highly recommend having her do the microblading technique for you. It is nearly painless (she makes sure you are very numb) and the results are absolutely incredible! The strokes look like natural hair. I am so thrilled with the result! Nobody even knows that I had them done, because they look so natural. Elise really takes the time to get to know you, makes sure you are always comfortable, follows up to be sure you are OK and has a lovely personality. She was delightful to work with. I have another follow up appointment with her soon and I'll be kind of sad that I won't see her again for a while. I'll have to consider doing other things like eyeliner just to stay in touch with her! read more

I visited Elise for the microblading procedure for more natural eyebrows. It was a relatively painfree procedure and a fun visit talking with Elise. She has the necessary certifications to perform the procedure so I felt completely assured of her competance. Thank you Elise! You made my day! Frances read more

I'm so glad to finally have my permanent eyebrow and upper liner done with Elise. She is an amazing artist! She has light hand and took her time to design a perfect brow for me. They are so pretty and light and the best part I still have brow and liner after my run or hot yoga class. It took me literally 10 mins to get ready in the morning, what a life changing for my busy life! Thank you so much Elise! read more

I went Elise to have some scars on my face camoflaged and I'm so glad I did! She is a Master of color and tone. I liked her the moment I entered her office which was immaculate and orderly. She is warm, extremely friendly and professional. She listened carefully to every detail of my concerns and put me at ease immediately. I felt no discomfort after she applied the topical numbing cream. She shared her work with me every step of the way and was receptive to my suggestions. But it was clear to see that she knew what she was doing. I could not have been happier with the results...my white scars were almost completely gone! I was beyond thrilled! I returned for a touch up visit after suffering the loss of a loved one and was greeted with a big hug and lots of empathy. That's just the kind of person she is. I would DEFINITELY recommend Elise without any doubts whatsoever and will continue seeing her myself. She is in high demand which is not at all surprising! read more

I had my eyebrows done by Elise recently using single-hair strokes technique. I am very surprised by how natural they look! Elise is an amazing artist, she is also very caring and practical. As an artist, she observes and makes good sense of judgment on shape, shade and spread of how your eyebrow should look like. At the same time, she listens and learns specific individual personal preferences. She is so skillful, the hair strokes she made looked really real :-) Thank you, Elise for your great art work that will save me at least 10 minutes a day and that can count to more than 100 days of extra life if I live 40 years more. read more

Elise never ceases to amaze me! I've been going to her for years and this last time we did microblading. The procedure itself was painless overall, just a little bit of discomfort (mostly stingy) when the pigment was applied. She walked me through the entire procedure and explained the stingy sensation, which was very comforting. Elise always takes the time to listen and work with me to make sure my eyebrows are perfect. I highly recommend Elise!! read more

I found Elise by reading the reviews on Yelp, and I am so happy that those reviews directed me to her. She did an amazing job tattooing my brows and touching up my eyeliner. She has such a fun personality, and she listened to what I wanted as well as offering some personal creative touches to make the outcome even nicer. I will definitely return for a touchup when the time comes. read more

WOO HOO! I visited Elise for the second time, this time for a refresh/upgrade! I FEEL AWESOME! Elise is very conscientious and concerned for how her clients look and feel. Her work is perfection. read more

I highly recommend Elise if you are interested in permanent makeup. Her calming demeanor and professionalism make you feel at ease. She works with you in creating to look that you want and talks you through the process every step of the way. She cares deeply about her work and makes sure that you are happy at its completion. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Wanted to give an update from my latest visit to see Elise. I tried the micro blading this time and I am so glad I did. The results are amazing!!! I have very light eyebrows and the micro blading makes them look full and natural. People can't even tell that they are tattoos. I was a little nervous at first because hearing the term "Blade" sounded painful. It wasn't painful. Very tolerable. I actually was completely relaxed while Elise worked on me. The investment is so worth it! It saves me time getting ready every morning not having to draw them on. I also love being able to go swimming and not worrying that my eyebrows are going to wash off. Thank you again Elise!! read more

I absolutely love my eye enhancement! Elise is amazing. So sweet, but professional at the same time. Extremely talented lady! Highly recommend! read more

I went into see Elise last Wednesday for micro needling to take care of my hyper and hypo pigmentation and acne scars. I was apprehensive at first because I've tried everything from microdermabrasion to hydroquinone and nothing has helped. Elise put a numbing ointment on my face and explained the procedure to me and calmed my nerves. The procedure was completely painless and it hasn't even been a week and I already feel like my pores are smaller and my tinted moisturizer sits more smoothly on my face. I am so excited to see the results intensify over the next few weeks! I highly recommend Elise. She was very gentle, informative, and precise. I want to go back now to get permanent makeup! read more

I went to see Elise about permanent eyeliner for my upper eyelids. My good friend had her upper eyelids done by Elise so I had seen her work and knew she was good but still not sure what to expect. I have thin eyelashes and my eyes have never stood out so I really wanted to make my eyes pop. The pain wasn't bad at all and she numbs your eyes and the process went quicker than I expected. I felt like I had a bad sunburn on my eyes that night but by 24 hours, my eyes felt fine and heeled great. I never noticed the scabbing. After a week, I touched up my eyelash extensions and now have the most beautiful eyes ever. The permanent eyeliner made my eyes stand out even more than with just the eyelash extensions. I get compliments all the time now and have never had compliments on my eyes before. Elise is wonderful and makes you feel at ease right away! read more

Elise was sensational in every way. During the no-obligation consult, she puts you completely at ease, talks about your own personal beauty, and spends a great deal of time working on shape and color for the perfect brow for YOUR face. I decided to go for it, and now have amazing brows! They were thin, mousy colored and badly shaped, and did nothing for my face. Now they look NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL, and enhance my eyes and face. It was easy and painless as far as I am concerned. Next, I'm going for eyeliner, and would use no-one but Elise... Read her bio on her website. She's the real deal.... read more

I Googled medical tattooing and Image by Elise came up, so I took a chance and called and had a consultation. I had white freckle spots on my legs and It was embarrassing when i would wear skirts or shorts and found myself wearing pants to cover my legs. I would also use a brown sharpie marker to cover the sports if i had to wear a dress, etc. Elise did camouflage tattooing covering just about every one of them and the results are amazing - I was shocked at how good it turned out, my legs look so good. I highly recommend Image by Elise! read more

I have never had permanent makeup before so I was nervous. I had my eyebrows, top and bottom eyeliner and full lips done so I could look great on a dream vacation I was taking to Bora Bora. I can't say enough about Elise's caring, professional style, and her dedication to creating the exact look you want. I am also very sensitive to pain. Elise is very experienced and was constantly checking to see if I was comfortable and even worked with a combination of numbing agents until we found the one that worked best for me. It was also reassuring to have the procedure done in a doctor's office environment. I am so pleased to wake up with perfect eyebrows, softly defined eyes and great lips! She listened carefully to what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the results. I rarely take the time to write a review, but this is for anyone else who is contemplating permanent makeup for the first time. Elise is the way to go. I will be back for touch ups in the years to come. read more

I just had my entire face done by Elise; brows, liner upper/lower and lips. Elise did a great job and I couldn't be happier. She is a true artist with a gentle hand. She makes sure that you are comfortable through out the entire process. She does a great job of listening to your wishes and needs and making it come true for you. She is excellent at what she does and I could not recommend her more highly for anyone seeking permanent make -up. read more

My history with my skin isn't great. I'm 54 years old and have been getting extraction facials my whole adult life. I'm active, sweat, and do my best to keep my skin clean but my pores were constantly enlarged and clogged, my skin was both oily and dry. For years I've thought about peels but didn't want to remove the "protective" outer layer because I'm in the sun a lot and don't always wear sunscreen. During my last facial the aesthetician told me some of the clogging was so deep I would benefit from a peel. I saw a U-tube clip on NEEDLING and decided to look into this treatment. My first visit to Elise was for facial NEEDLING. OMG! The results were fabulous. Right afterward, my face was sore, within a night it was bright red and SMOOTH. I had a little peeling and then - poof! My pores are smaller, my skin is softer and smoother and my makeup now looks so nice that I WANT TO BOTHER PUTTING IT ON. I've since had my eyebrows and upper and lower lash enhancements done. With a little base and blush, I'm ready to go during the day. When I look at myself, I notice my eyes NOT my skin. I love the fact that Elise is conservative with her application and does follow-up "focus" visits where you can add a bit more if you want or require it. She has a great eye artistically and when she shaped my brows, they looked like me. The color she used was perfect too. Her office is first class, immaculate, and convenient. She's a professional, listens, works with you and get's results. I'm very grateful to Elise for helping me to look and feel so much prettier, "naturally." read more
