    5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!! I Love My Eyebrows! Pure Perfection. Briana Is Very Professional, Knowledgeable, And Makes You Feel Comfortable. She Explains Everything in detail From The Beginning To The End. Her Shop Is Very Clean, Stylish, and Welcoming. I Will Definitely Recommend Her Work To Family and Friends. Thank You Again Makeup By Mau Loa!

    Let me just say I'm in love with my brows! All thanks to Briana. Briana is so sweet, friendly, and great at what she does. I got Combo brows done and wouldn't change them for anything. 3 plus hour appointment was filled with knowledge, patience, and girl talk. Patience is key, and when I say that I mean trust the process. Briana takes her time and perfects every step of the way. She explains everything as she goes and makes you feel at ease. Not one time did I feel like she was rushing. She actually spent the most time with me helping me select what style brows I wanted, which I truly appreciate because like she said "this is your face!" I highly recommend going to her for any of her services! On a side note her shop is so cute and well kept.

    I never thought my eyebrows would start to thin out to the point where i couldn't grow them back, my madre warned me! But after tweezing them for 22 years it had happened. So i decided to do something about it. I got them microbladed in the front and tattoo colored in for the rest, and now they're even! And i have a nicer arch then i could ever do with tweezing! I'm not gonna lie, the microblading was hell, it hurt like crazy, i got all sweaty and felt like i couldn't breath. The tattooing was no picnic either but Briana told me to take Tylenol before and she put topical numbing gel to help, she even gave me an ice pack at the end. As long as you can suck it up and do it, it'll be worth it. Briana did am amazing job and was thorough and professional. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new eyebrows! Thank you Briana!

    Briana keeps those brows "on point"... When I decided to get my eyebrows done, I'll admit, I was extremely nervous! Having little to no brows, I was so burnout from drawing them in daily. So I decided to give Briana a try. She took her time to explain what she would be doing to my brows. She also paid close attention to my wants and dislikes as well! She made my life so much more easier!! I wake up every morning with beautiful brows! When I'm too lazy to do my makeup, I can run errands without being embarrassed with no brows! And when I sweat from working out, I no longer worry if I wiped my brows away! If you're tired of spending too much time on your brows each day, then make an appointment with Briana!! It's the best investment I've ever made!!!!

    From scary dark(TRUST ME. THEY LIGHTEN),to lightening towards the right color/dimension.  Will add once healed.

    Right after appointment

    Short Version: My girlfriend spent about 6 months looking for a microblading artist that she was comfortable with, but all research came to a halt when she found Briana. There are plenty of places in San Jose that offer microblading/semi-permanent brow services, but Briana was definitely well worth the drive to Tracy. She is the best. Long Version/GF's experience: Prior to booking my appointment I wanted to make sure this was something I was comfortable doing as I've never had semi-permanent makeup done before. I reached out to Briana and she got back to me within 24 hours. She spent almost 30 minutes on the phone with me answering all of my questions and was completely upfront about the process. The confidence she has in her work gave me the confidence to go ahead and book. We drove all the way to Tracy to see her and she was so welcoming. There was some paperwork to do and at most places they just want you to sign without reading, but she did not make me feel rushed and once again answered any questions I had with no problem (I had a lot). We spent a good portion of the appointment going through the type of brows I wanted (shape, color, etc.) Just FYI, I went with the combination brow which is both microblading and ombré and wanted a completely different brow shape. I am very picky and know exactly what I like and most of the time I worry that I might be annoying, but she said she actually was happy that I was voicing my opinions and gave me complete control. I felt totally comfortable explaining what I wanted which is extremely important to me. I felt prepared to take the needles with the pep talks and her explanation of the pain levels I might experience. She numbed me twice; once in the beginning and once half way through. She also made sure to explain exactly what she was doing throughout the procedure so I was totally aware of each and every step before it happened. Briana gave me all the aftercare instructions verbally and on paper. She also included all the products I needed for the healing process. Since my procedure she has been readily available through text and on the phone. One thing I was not expecting was for her to actually go out of her way to reach out to me on her own just to check up on me! She checked in on me twice to make sure everything was going smoothly. All in all, I LOVE my new brows and getting ready in the morning takes half the time it used to. I'm so excited to go back in a few weeks for my free touch up session. Moving forward, I'm sticking with Makeup Mau Loa for all of my cosmetic needs! PS: longest review I've ever written but she deserves it! BROWS ON FLEEK, if I do say so myself (:

    Waiting room, super cute.

    I had been searching for a Permanent Makeup Artist for about a year in my area. I came across Briana's page via Instagram. Her before and after photos & review's is what prompted me to book with her. I drove from Salinas to Tracy, CA. When i arrived, she greeted me & really took the time to explain the process to me. She asked for my input throughout the process & no doubt she was the best choice. I highly recommend Makeup Mao Loa by Briana to anyone wanting permanent makeup.

    Love them

    I had my hair and makeup done for a company party. The transformation was incredible. I think I looked pretty enough to be a bride! My co-workers often walked past me because it took them a minute to realize it was me. She told me she is more of a make up person than a hair person, but I still loved my curls. This was all done in the comfort of my home (and with a time crunch!). It's worth every penny, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone!

    I am in love  with my combobrows. Briana is the best!!!

    I had been drawing my eyebrows on for almost 20 years, I was never a fan of getting them tattooed on because I did not want to commit to one look (shape), I was extremely skeptical. After a couple months of research to find the right artist, I came across Mau Loa on Yelp. At first site of the services Brianna offered, I knew I had found my micro blade artist. I scheduled my appointment with Brianna and she fit me in last minute despite her very busy (full) schedule. I opted for combobrows and I am so pleased. Brianna is truly a master at what she does, so knowledgeable and informative. She know's her stuff! Her studio, so clean and fresh, a great ambiance to be serviced . Me being me (lol) a bit inpatient, skeptical and doubtful she worked with me and eased my fears. The healing process is ugly but the end result is beautiful, I look forward to my follow up appointment to perfect my combobrows.

    One of her spray tans!

    I had microblading last year, but I am getting white hair in my eyebrows any recommendations?

    Hello when your hair gets white or grey we recommend getting it henna, tinted or you can use a tinted brow gel. Hope that helps.

    What is your price for microblading?

    As a true child of the '90s, I absolutely fell victim to the era of aggressive overplucking... and…read moremy eyebrows never really recovered. After years of battling uneven drawn on brows, spending way too much on makeup, and wasting precious time every morning trying to get them to match (and not look wild), I knew I needed something more permanent. I started looking into microblading, but like many people, I had mixed feelings. Would it look natural? Was it worth the price? Would I regret it? So I did what any curious Millennial does, I went down the Instagram rabbit hole. That's when I found Sidney Le and started following her team and their different artists. I watched for months, studied the styles, and finally decided to pull the trigger. From the moment I reached out, the team was helpful, clear, and direct, which I immensely appreciate. I won't lie, the price did give me a little sticker shock at first. But then I remembered: this is a tattoo... on your face. And when you factor in: 1. The quality and expertise of the artists 2. The high-end products they use and how long it lasts 3. The time, money, and daily frustration it saves you PLUS the fact that it won't smudge or wash off in water... It was a no-brainer. My first appointment went great. The artist really took time to assess my face and skin type, and we decided on the Ombre Brow technique. I've never looked back! Now I go in every 2 to 2.5 years for a refresh and see Sara, who I absolutely adore. She's patient, detailed, and always makes sure I'm happy with the shape and color before we start. Now, let's talk pain. Yes, it's a tattoo on your face, so no, it's not completely painless. The outline and initial scratching definitely sting. But after that, numbing cream is applied and it's honestly not bad. It is more pressure than pain. I've even fallen asleep during the process because Sara's setup is so calming: soft music, cozy blanket, and one of the comfiest tables I've ever laid on. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to go for it. Microblading (or ombre brows, in my case) has saved me so much time and given me such a boost in confidence. Just remember: there is a healing process. Your brows will look dark, they'll itch, and they'll peel..... but trust the process!! Once they heal, you'll be obsessed. Honestly? Best beauty decision I've ever made. Worth every single penny.

    I'm leaving this review as a husband who is very particular about where our money goes -- I always…read morewant to see a real return on any investment. And let me tell you, the work Sidney did on my wife's eyebrows was worth every penny. From the moment we walked in, it was nothing but professional, welcoming, and detail-focused. Sidney took her time, explained everything clearly, and made sure my wife felt confident and comfortable throughout the process. The results? Flawless. Natural, clean, and perfectly shaped -- exactly what my wife wanted. She left glowing and couldn't stop smiling. And as the saying goes... Happy wife = happy life. So yes, I'm very happy too. If you're even considering permanent brows, don't hesitate. Sidney Le Beauty delivers quality work and a top-tier experience. Highly recommend!
