She is located downtown Orinda in an alley with restaurants and stores. Her shop is super cute and very clean inside. Janell has a nice personality. We had a great conversation about life and family. Janell will apply a numbing cream on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. The procedure doesn't hurt. You'll feel a tickling or itchy sensation. Janell takes many breaks in between tattooing so it gives you some relief between the session. I am pleased with my results and I am happy I no longer have to draw my brows and eye liner. Thank you, Janell, for your professionalism and artistry. I will be back in the future. I highly recommend visiting Doll Face for permanent cosmetic tattooing.

The first treatment is for your skin to process the ink and to see how your body adjust to it and the color. The second will make the whole difference.

I held off on getting my eyebrows done for quite some time because I knew it was a big decision. I…read morefollowed IG and Yelp posts but never felt 100% sure until I saw Marie's pictures and reviews. Marie is not just a regular microblade artist, she is awesome at her craft! Her attention to detail and the time she takes to perfect your brows are evident from the moment you contact her to schedule your first appointment. Marie treats your brows like they're her own priority. She'll give you her expert advice but also listens to what you want out of your brows and works with you to make sure you're happy with the results. I originally thought I solely wanted microblading and was against micro shading because I thought it wouldn't look natural. After discussing the look I was going for with Marie (natural but darker and to save me time from having to fill my brows as part of my regular makeup routine) I went with her recommendation of doing the ombré effect with more shading and less blading. I am so extremely happy with the results! My brows look just like they do when I would fill them myself but fuller and more defined but still natural! This alone isn't the reason you should go with Marie though. There are a lot of options out there for microblading but what makes Microblade Artistry stand out from all the rest is the time and dedication she puts to make each client's experience feel personalized plus's her awesome personality. From the sweet welcome sign she has for you at each visit, to the lovely, handwritten thank you note, to the text messages checking in and letting you know she is available for any question you may have... Marie treats her clients well and goes above and beyond to make sure you receive the best customer service. If you're looking for long lasting brows you'll love, Microblade Artistry is the place for you!

I literally don't leave the house without "putting my brows on", which is annoying and time consuming. Marie's studio is so nice and so so clean. She is obsessive about the cleanliness which made me feel great. I was really particular about the shape of my brows and she was actually thankful for that. She mapped my brows for about 2 hours until I was perfectly happy with them and didn't blink an eye about it. Throughout the procedure she asked me how I was doing and made sure I was really comfortable. She worked on my brows until they were perfect. She wouldn't settle for anything less. We joked that she had OCD for eyebrows :) my new brows are amazing. The shape is perfect and I love waking up and not having to do anything to them. Marie is incredibly sweet and kind, you will love her!

I was a bit hesitant, because it is PERMANENT...and I am a bit of a chicken, but Karen quickly dispersed my fears and put me at ease!

I highly recommend Karen !!

I'm very surprised to read the review mentioning how caring and attentive Karen was…read more I had my eyeliner done and she NEVER called to check on me. When I went for my touch up visit I mentioned that I'd had a bad reaction and the healing time she stated of 2-3 days was actually closer to a week. The liner is not even on both eyes ... and I mean after my touch up visit. She did not ever call to see if I was happy with results or see if I'd had another bad reaction. When I complained that my eyes looked uneven, she said it was my fault because I had flinched. I would expect someone with experience tattooing eyes to have worked on clients that do flinch. It's an involuntary reaction when your eyelids are being punctured with a needle. If someone is having a "flinching" reaction, you stop and work with them. You don't continue and do a bad job. When I described what I wanted the liner to look like she said things like "you're funny" and "I"m just going to do it". When a professional says things like that, I would expect her to know what is in style/fashionable and what would flatter her client. I don't think either was true. I felt bullied and that my opinion was disregarded. She was so short with me I didn't express the full extent of my displeasure because I was still hopeful that she would fix it. I wanted this procedure to look and feel better about myself...and to make my life easier. Now I constantly worry about using eyeliner to make my eyes look even. I chose her because she said she would take the time and make my eyes "look perfect"...and because of all her before/after photos. I would not recommend her

Amy is the best. I've only had my eyebrows done by her but I wouldn't dream about going anywhere…read moreelse. She is very meticulous about making sure your brows are just right. She takes her time to take all measurements to make your eyebrows as symmetrical as possible. For those that don't know, most eyebrows on one person are not the same. So goes the saying that our eyebrows are sisters, not twins. I've have been going to Amy for about 5 years now. She has such a well rounded personality. She is easy to conversate with and has a great sense of humor. She is very professional, clean and follows all the regulatory rules/ laws. I also have an old eyebrow piercing scar. She covers it beautifully. I also keloid and scar bad. I was initially reluctant to pull the trigger on microblading but I'm so happy that I did. I'm also so happy to have found Amy! Her website is very detailed about her services and you can book online. I find the website is very convenient. I've referred many friends and family members to Amy and will continue to do so. She is worth every penny and some.

I had my eyebrows micro bladed. It was the best decision I ever made. Filling in my eyebrows the old fashioned way was the bane of my existence. I could NEVER get them right nor even/balanced. And it was a time suck! After making the decision to do so, I read every single micro blade business review I could find in my area on Yelp. As soon as I started reading Amy's review, I knew I had found the right person. It's a big decision and not an inexpensive one. But that's why you check reviews in order to help you make your decision. I've never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I made. I LOVE my eyebrows now. Been super happy with her work. She takes her time, is super safety conscientious, and you experience her professionalism in action. I highly recommend Enhanced by Amelia.

I'm thoroughly satisfied with all of my experiences and intend to continue visiting Jane for a long time to maintain my desired results. The quality of Jane's work is exceptional.

After…read moredoing some research, I chose SMP Ink in Danville due to their excellent reviews and proximity to my home. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease. Their facility was incredibly clean and well-maintained. There was a classroom in the back and a few procedure rooms in the front. Everything indicated that they were knowledgeable and professional. After speaking with Rodger and Jennelle, I decided to go ahead. The results were amazing! Jennelle is incredibly talented and personable, and it felt like, during each session, I was just hanging out with her, catching up on shows and movies while she worked her magic. Whenever I had concerns outside of their clinic, Rodger was quick to answer all of my questions. My experience here was phenomenal, and I know if I ever have concerns down the road, they will be there to answer my call. For anyone thinking about SMP, I highly suggest stopping by for a chat.
