Cintia H.

Late review, but I went there in July to get a brow consultation and was recommended to get the nano service. Gloria was the artist and drew in the brows during the consultation that she thought would suit me and though I loved it (I didn't have her make any changes), I had to get used to its fullness on my face. Even after the nano service, I still had to get used to them, but it looked great. Eventually I got used them and didn't like how it started to fade. After the 4-week update, I was happy to see the fuller brows again but it is starting to fade a bit, but not as fast as the initial service. Not sure if it will last a year, but I will see. But overall, thanks for the service!

Nanobrows by Ming

Ming is a TRUE artist! During my consult I told her about my worries and hesitation about getting permanent makeup because of my skin sensitivity and potential scarring. Ming was so patient and explained everything in detail during the consultation. During the actual nanobrow session, she explained everything she was doing and was so detail oriented. The most mind blowing part is when she mapped out my eyebrows, she used a simple eyebrow pencil and FREEHANDED the brows perfectly. No thread, measurements or rulers that most brow artists use for mapping. I was blown away just from the mapping already. Ming is truly an artist that take care and time into her craft. I can't wait until my touch up session!

Top picture was 2018, bottom picture is current.

Replying to owner: the color didn't change over time, it looked like a sharpie from the updated pigment you mentioned in 2020 and did not change. Still looked like the work was done with a sharpie in 2024 when I started laser removal. I'm not aware of the pigments that you used, I trusted you as the professional. I think readers would agree that no one would ask for this. This has been my biggest regret unfortunately. I asked for shading and came away with what looks like sharpie eyebrows. I was told it would fade, it didn't. I spent the next 5 years hating looking at myself and taking pictures. I recently spent the last year undergoing laser removal, so far I've had 4 sessions at $250 each, may need one more. Top picture was 2018, bottom picture is current.

Imah did my nanobrows and eyeliner. I was nervous but she was very gentle, answered all my questions about the healing process, and made sure I was comfortable through the whole procedure. I even fell asleep in the middle of getting my brows done. I added some before and after-healing photos for reference. This truly makes a world of difference for me and I'm so happy with the results.

Hi there, I got my brows micro bladed there in 2020 and they've changed color and bled and am looking to get them removed, but I need to know if the ink you use contains…

Hello! Thank you for the question. In 2020, our studio was using Phi Brows pigments, which states no Titanium Dioxide is contained from their data sheet. Let us know if you have more questions and we are happy to help. Hope this helps!

My earring hole partially closed up after fifty years. Do you provide that service and how much will it cost for one ear piercing?

Hi, we do not provide piercing service

Hi Ming- I love your work and am interested in your lip blushing services. I saw that you charge a $100 deposit, I am curious how much you charge additionally for the service after consultation?

Hi Katie, thank you for your interest! Prices vary, depending on artist and work being done. Feel free to call or text us at (650) 817-8660 for pricing and any other questions.

How much do you charge for micro blading?

I got my brows done back in 2019 and it cost $750 just for the strokes. Prices have since increased tremendously. It's unfortunate because I did have a good experience here… 

Hi Ming, I'm interested in the microblading and have a few question. I have an existing eyebrow tattoo will you be able cover it up with miecroblading? How much do you charge? Will the mircroblading ink fade or change color?

The microblading ink does fade over time -it depends on how dark the ink is and your skin type. Mine starts to fade around month 6-7 so I need a touch-up every 6 months.

What is the price range for microblading?

I got my brows done back in 2019 and it cost $750 just for the strokes. Prices have since increased every few months so it will likely be more now.

Curious to know if your products for microblading are vegan friendly?

Yes. The pigments we use are vegan friendly. Pigments we use are Permablend, made in US.

How much is your brows ? And do you do eyelashes extension

Hi dear, there are a few different pricings. Once our new website finishes, prices will be listed! Lash extension is coming soon in the next month!

Let me just say... Life changing. I had wanted to do my…read morebrows for years, but I was so hesitant and scared. But then I kept seeing brows on friends that Diana did and I went for it! I got the Nano brows and I cannot tell you how life altering this has been. I now have brows that look so natural -- just like I used to have them before I went full Gwen Stefani in high school. (You know, the tragic era where I plucked them so aggressively they basically filed a missing persons report.) Probably even better than my original brows! And best of all, they're natural, not the blocky trendy look that works for many people, but wasn't what I wanted for myself. The healing process also sounded so scary, and literally I never ever felt they didn't look good, even while healing. My only regret is not doing it sooner! I now can go makeup-free and feel confident to just run out the door and still feel good. I highly recommend this to anyone. And if you are scared and on the fence like I was, I can promise you will be happy and in good hands with Diana.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Diana at Inked Beauty. She is kind, gentle, incredibly…read morepatient, and so, so detailed. I had actually first contacted her in 2023, but I was nervous about getting my brows done and chickened out. I put it off for nearly two years, and now I am SO glad I finally did it. During my first appointment, Diana spent nearly two hours carefully sketching and refining my brows until they were exactly what I wanted. I used to have gorgeous, naturally full brows and needed absolutely no makeup, but perimenopause changed that. Suddenly, I was drawing them in every day with an eyebrow pencil, which was honestly a huge pain in the ass. I chose powdered brows, followed Diana's aftercare instructions very carefully, and now I finally feel like I have my old brows back. Diana followed up after my first session, and the second appointment was incredibly smooth. I have now been enjoying my brows for over six months, and just this week, at least three people commented on how perfect they looked. I absolutely have to give credit where it is due. Diana is truly wonderful, and I could not be happier that I finally trusted her and went through with it.

Jessie works quickly while still being incredibly detail-oriented, and she has an amazing ability to understand exactly how you want your makeup to look and then bring that vision to life flawlessly. Also my hair and make up lasted all day plus survived misty rain and a heavy veil! Her team was also exceptional and highly skilled, and everyone helped create such a calm and enjoyable getting-ready experience on the wedding day. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of in her hands. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a talented, intuitive, and truly wonderful makeup artist!

Jessie and her team did my wedding makeup along with makeup for my wedding party…read more Jessie did my trial and during the trial, I requested a peachy look that four months later (on the wedding day), I didn't like. I was preparing to tell her how I wanted to change the trial makeup to something more pink, but that morning, Jessie brought up the idea of changes to me first! She suggested a pink look would look better and I was impressed because I felt the same way. I appreciated that Jessie spoke out about what she thought would look better on me; I felt like she had my back! In total, we had 11 people who needed both hair and makeup. I was worried that it would take a very long time, but Jessie and her two assistants run like a well-oiled machine! Started at 8am, done by 1230pm! All my girls looked beautiful!! The makeup lasted all day! Jessie even gave me a little pouch of materials for touch up, but I didn't need it! My hair also stayed in place all night long! She even taught my bridesmaids how to help put on and remove my veil without messing up my hair or the flowers in it! She knew how to solve any and all makeup/hair issues with no problem; it was obvious that she's very knowledgeable and experienced. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event!

My eyebrows are very blonde, so I used to have to put on brow gel or wax/powder to color them in, otherwise I look washed out. I went to Anna to get my eyebrows done. She worked with me to choose the ideal shape by first sitting with me at a mirror while she colored in my eyebrows with a pencil before starting, and then 30 minutes later: VOILA!! The color looks natural and is subtle, but highly effective. I absolutely LOVE it. Gone are the days (seriously, collectively hours of my life) staring in the mirror trying to get the right shape and color right. Because I liked the results of the eyebrows so much, I asked Anna if the eyeliner would work with my fair skin. She reassured it would so I scheduled the appointment and have the same results: natural looking eyeliner on my top lid that is subtle but very effective. Again, I absolutely love it. Anna is fantastic to work with and the staff are equally friendly, helpful and professional. For anyone fair skinned who has been curious but hesitant about semi-permanent eyebrow or eyeliner, I highly recommend that you wait no more. Anna is the person to go see. It's worth it.
