    Working 12hr shifts, but my brows look good!
    Kristine D.

    Let me start by saying Karlie is THE BEST! I definitely would recommend her to anyone who's looking into getting permanent make up for their eyebrows. She's so sweet, professional, and really easy going, easy to talk to. Since getting my eyebrows done, I've had many compliments! Such a game changer waking up with brows. Booking an appointment was really easy. She has her own Instagram page and booking info is there. Her ig page shows a ton of her work with her before, after, and clients sharing their healing process. On my appointment day, Karlie greeted me and I filled out some paperwork. Her little studio is cute and comfy. Bright lights and music playing too! Her chair is also comfy which is great cause this procedure can take up a couple hours! Before starting, she will take a good look at your brows and start measuring/drawing. She also does clients preferred drawing btw. Why Karlie is the best is cause she's a perfectionist and will keep measuring/redrawing till she's satisfied! Once we started, she uses a topical numbing cream after the first pass to break the skin. She's sweet and checked to see how I was doing every now and then, and apply more numbing cream if it was starting to hurt too much. In the end, she goes over aftercare with you, and sends you home with supplies to care for your brows during the healing process! She's super knowledgeable so don't hesitate to ask questions! Again, I would definitely refer her to anyone! Do yourself and your brows a favor and go see her!

    Let me start off by saying I have sensitive skin, so I've always been afraid of getting my brows waxed/threaded/etc. I'm also afraid of pain & commitment so I have absolutely zero tattoos. Karlie is the ONLY person I've EVER trusted to do anything to my brows and I have no regrets! SCHEDULING AN APPT: So easy. I appreciate how prompt Karlie is with her replies. Very professional and kind! LOCATION: Private office with a private lot. No need to worry about parking! There are ample spaces, free-of-charge. CONSULTATION: This is done at your first appointment. Karlie outlined my brows and had me check the shape before she started tattooing. She shaped them EXACTLY as I would with makeup & would only start the actual procedure if I was truly happy with how they looked. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to make sure your brows compliment your face shape. She took her time when drawing out the shape because she is a perfectionist & that's such an important trait to have as a brow artist! PROCEDURE: As a nurse and a germaphobe, I'll tell you right now that you don't have to worry here. Karlie makes sure everything is clean/sterile at all times. The process felt like light scratching and Karlie continuously applied numbing cream to keep me comfortable. She's so easy to talk to and totally made me forget about how nervous I was! AFTERCARE: Before I left, Karlie went over the aftercare instructions with me and gave me a cute little jar of oil to apply to my brows. They fully healed without any issue in about a week and my mornings have been so much easier since! OVERALL: YES, I absolutely recommend. I've already gotten plenty of my girlfriends to get their brows blessed by Karlie!

    Karlie is simply amazing! I love the fact that she is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail because she makes sure that you will be satisfied with your brows. She listens to your needs and is eager to make sure she meets them. She is super friendly, caring, sweet and very good at what she does. She gives you a rundown on how the procedure is going to be and even gives you a little lidocaine cream to ease some of the pain. She makes sure that you are comfortable at all times. Post op instructions given were very easy and straight to the point, so before I knew it I had beautifully shaped brows. I am constantly getting compliments and I have Karlie to thank for that! I highly recommend! ^_^

    My makeup, my natural brows, and right after the first session.

    Karlie is amazing, knowledgeable, and caring! She answers ALL of your questions, even before the actual appointment. During the appointment, she talks you through every step to ensure that you WILL love your brows. When you first leave the appointment, you may be in shock of your brows.. but trust the process (and Karlie) and it'll all be worth it. I love my brows so much that I got 4 ladies of my family to go see Karlie as well.

    After my touch up
    Jessica D.

    I had uneven eyebrows and Karlie was able to shape and even them out! At first I was scared because I'm terrified of needles but it didn't even hurt! She even applies numbing cream which minimizes the pain. I love having my eyebrows done because it saves me an extra 5-10 minutes getting ready in the morning. Karlie was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable during both sessions! Her prices are great and her studio is super clean. I highly recommended going to her if you want perfect eyebrows!

    It took me awhile to decide on getting eyebrows done. The process that was done was called "combo" which included microblading/ombre brows. I finally decided to go through to get my brows done, and hands done best investment you can make. It's seriously life changing. Karlie(brow god) is so talented, I got my eyebrows done back in october and they still look great. It's such a convenience to have them done, waking up and not having to get them done saves so much time. The shape, color of my brows have such a natural look. I came in and she sketched my brows the same day right before actually starting on them. As I came in I was greeted by the lady in the front and I just let her know I was here for an appt with Karlie, and Karlie came out to greet me and had me fill in some paperwork. Just a quick run down of the procedure. She goes over everything with you as well and is available to answer any questions you may have. I was then invited into the room, cute space. Small but comfy feel. She has bright lights, also always has music playing to help relax you. As for people wondering about the pain, the first 20 mins I'd say were a bit painful. But the 20 mins fly by so quick and the numbing cream starts kicking in and it goes by so smoothly. Keeping in mind I'm not someone who can stand much pain for tattoos, but this turned out a lot easier than I imagined. Karlie is also very patient and asks how you're feeling and adjusts to you if you need. If you are looking into getting brows done, this is who you need to book with, you will not regret it! I'm in love with mine. The reveal of my eyebrows when they were finished was such a great feeling, to trust someone with your eyebrows is nerve wracking but I was obsessed!! It's been a couple months now and they still look amazing. So if you're still deciding on who to see, or getting brows done in general this is your time to book with her!

    Healed brows!
    Lexy C.

    Karlie is freaking AMAZING at the job that she does. I had been wanting to get my eyebrows tattooed for some time but was very hesitant to take the leap. But once Karlie started explaining each step she would be taking with my brows, I felt very comfortable. We wound up deciding on ombré brows. She took her time when drawing the initial shape of my brows and was always checking in that I was happy with them. Once we were both satisfied, she continued to explain the steps she would be taking before tattooing my brows. I really appreciated the level of communication Karlie had through the entire experience! A few hours went by and TADA, a masterpiece on my face. A few more tips on the aftercare and I was out the door. This helped me tremendously to preserve all of Karlie's hard work. SERIOUSLY, aftercare is just as important as the brow tattooing process! Thank you again Karlie for saving me from trying to create even brows every morning!

    After (Bare/healed ~3mo)
    Nadia A.

    Karlie is wonderful at her craft. She minimizes the pain for you, gives you aftercare, and treats you to a whole brow photoshoot! Her prices are phenomenal for her level of skill. If you're over uneven brows, do yourself a favor and go see this babe so you can wake up feeling fleeky af!!

    Touch up session. I love them so much!
    Rose R.

    Karlie is so kind and amazing at her art. I found her through a friend who got her brows done by her. Setting up the appt was easy and the whole process went smoothly. I just let her do what she thought was best for my brows and I'm glad I did! My brows were so different from each other and I especially hated how my left brow looked. Now I love my brows and have cut my getting ready time in half. I love waking up with beautiful perfect brows and it's all thanks to Karlie! 100000% recommend. She also uses a numbing agent so the pain is minimal.

    Karlie did an amazing job on my eyebrows! I no longer have to feel insecure after swimming or working out and having no eyebrows!!
    Krystal V.

    My eyebrows bare really light. I started to feel a little insecure after swimming or working out since my eyebrows makeup would wash off. People would make comments on how different I looked. I found Karlie online and she did such an amazing job on my eyebrows! Her shop is clean and it the best part is it didn't hurt as much as I thought. You will not be disappointed!

    Healed brows. 1 month after my touch up appointment
    Priscilla L.

    These semi permanent ombré brows have given me so much self confidence and courage to take photos! I was someone who was extremely insecure about taking selfies or group photos unless my brows were filled in because my brows were hardly visible. I knew I wanted semi permanent brows, but was conflicted between micro blading and ombré brows. It took me nearly a year to decide who I wanted to go with, but when I saw Karlie's work on her instagram I fell in love with how my brows could turn out. I contacted her and was scheduled for an appointment within a month. Karlie is very responsive, accommodating when scheduling, and her attention to detail is great. During the consultation don't be afraid to ask questions or style your brows how you want it. I also showed her some previous photos of how I would typically draw in my brows as I wanted a similar style. Personally I chose to go with a lighter shade during my initial appointment because you can always go darker during the touch up but you can't go lighter until it fades... but that takes a while. The healing process was a pain and I would recommend asking or googling the after care instructions before investing and scheduling a date. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I'll also update my review in a year to review how the pigment have kept up.

    Before and After
    Janelle F.

    Karlie is literally theee best!! I've had work done to my brows but my previous artist stopped. But just in time, Karlie started doing brows and omg! Love!! Karlie is honest, and makes a perfect shape compliment to your face. She is so sweet and so fast! She provides numbing cream that helps with the pain if needed, and she also gives a lot of information on after care. She also provided me with some after care ointment which is really nice. As far as her prices, they're definitely super reasonable also considering of how well of a job she does! If you're looking to wake up like Beyoncé and not have to do much in the morning with a super good price then hit her up!!!! You won't regret it!!

    Jenn C.

    I've had my eyebrows done by another artist three times and none of them healed and looked as good as Karlies! Seriously, I thought my skin was terrible because the ink would not sit in. But I gave it another try and Karlie became my saving grace. She made the whole experience comfortable and was very thoughtful with everything since covid. She takes her time making sure that it would come out right. I'm super happy with how it turned out. Highly highly recommend!

    Alright, I really hate to be writing this review because I've been coming here for a long time now…read more(2 years) but it's been going downhill. I absolutely love their Carmel Mountain location, but I hate their Point Loma location. I've never had issues at Carmel Mountain, but I constantly have issues in Point Loma. I've repeatedly had issues with their website, allowing you to book on days that they are not open and their website hours on Google saying they're open even when they're not. I've contacted them multiple times about this, but the issue has never been resolved. I'll be honest this was one of the only places I have ever trusted to do my eyebrows and I had a great experience a handful of times I've been to Carmel Mountain. But they really need to get new management for the point Loma location. I know it is new, but that is not an excuse for how it is currently running. I've also heard other reviews from friends of mine saying that they will show up on time for their appointment and the staff is not there and has been up to 30 minutes late for their appointment. I hope to continue to be a customer because I do love the Carmel Valley location, but I really hope they can step it up in point Loma. Overall, I have a bad taste in my mouth from the poor experiences in PL.

I always walk out feeling like a brand new person. The other thing is she's super genuine and kind. She remembers you, asks how you're doing, and is warm with everyone who comes in -- it never feels rushed or transactional. I always look forward to my appointments because of her. If you've had bad threading experiences or you're just picky about your brows, go see Faranak asap! : )

On top of that, my scalp was burning during the blow-dry, apparently from the combination of the product, hot water, and the way the hair dryer was being used. I left feeling like my scalp and hair were not treated with much care at all. For the price, I expected much better communication, attention to detail, and basic care. I would avoid this place if you value your peace, your money, and the health of your scalp and hair.
