    Before, I had very thin, uneven brows and hair stopped growing around my left brow corner scar. I had to draw my brows to fill it in.
    Jenny H.

    I am so happy with my new brows! It took me years to decide to get my brows done because I worried how it would turn out with oily skin. After learning microblading isn't the best technique for my oily skin, I researched and learned powder brows were the best option for me. It took me months to find the aesthetician and the style I liked, and came across Arina! I loved her website, it was so detailed and I've learned so much about the before and after care. The common questions page also provided me answers I was looking for. I felt comfortable and prepared and contacted Arina for my free Consultation. I had a great time meeting Arina to discuss the procedure and address any questions I had. I'm so amazed to learn that she continues learning and adding to her skills. She is very personable, easygoing, understanding, professional, so nice, and provided all the detailed instructions to prepare me for the next steps. When I went in for my first session, Arina has amazing attention to detail and took the time to make sure I was comfortable. During the procedure, she checked in often to see if I was ok. It was a breeze with the numbing cream, it totally helped and I didn't feel any pain. If it felt like I can feel something, I can just let her know and more numbing cream can be added. After my first session was done, she prepared me well with expectations for the healing process, and to trust the process. It could have been the way I was caring for my aftercare, but also maybe because I have really oily skin, it took a month for all my scabs to fall off. After my scabs fell off, it was perfect timing for me to have perfect brows to take a picture for my new ID! I was excited to go back for my touchup to enhance my brows. My touchup was so fast, with minimal additions. Because of my oily skin, Arina suggested a different process to wash and treat my brows to avoid scabbing like the first session, and I already notice the difference on Day 5 now in my healing process. Very minimal and barely any scabbing. Getting more excited by the day! I woke up every day staring at my brows, saying 'I'm in love' after my first session and now after my touchup! The convenience of waking up with brows and not having to draw them is the best! Now patiently waiting for it to heal and so excited! I've got so many compliments already on how natural it looks! I put my trust in Arina and was amazed by her skills in working with the scar on my left brow corner and shaping it to frame my face. I love Arina for giving me brows! She's amazing! I had the best experience! Thank you so much, Arina! I'm so happy with my new brows!

    Arina is amazing! I was nervous to do anything with my brows but it was the best decision I could have made. When I was 13 I shaved my uni-brow area and accidentally took off 1/3 of my brow and it never grew fully back. I've always hated my brows but didn't know they could look the way they do now. Arina is the best! They now look natural, but full... just an enhanced version of me. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier - however happy that I waited and heard from a friend about Arina. The space is very cool too and inviting. I was nervous about the pain but with the numbing I felt very little. I honestly don't know how she does it. Would highly recommend to anyone that hates doing their brows or did something before to screw them up! I learned a lot too and happy she does the powder tattooing. So much more natural. Arina has a steady hand a great eye for a naturally enhanced look! The first photo is of them after she did the outline the second is 30 min after the procedure so they will be a little lighter

    Absolutely amazing service. Arina is the most talented artist! She picked out the perfect color for my lips, shaped them the most flattering way, and they healed so well. I wanted a lip color that looked more bold yet had a watercolor affect, and she executed. You can tell she really knows what she's doing. A+ service and results.

    I am very happy with the lip blush expertly done by Ariana and I have more confidence now that I look less tired and even look younger since I always have lovely color on my lips! For my experience, it is painful getting tattooed on my lips but Ariana is a professional artist and took her time like a painter would to ensure the results turn out fantastic. After the procedure, my lips did not hurt and it took 7 days for my lips to heal and 10 days for the actual color to reveal itself. Because Ariana and MUSE permanent makeup is best-in-class, they are not the cheapest but they are worth the money! Attached is an illustration of my lips healing process, starting top left down and then right top down. No lipstick or lipgloss! Note: This photo depicts up to Date 6. The color evened out on Day 10 and it was brighter. My lips almost did not require a touchup but I wanted them to look perfect. Done in late January 2024.

    UPDATE 1 MONTH HEALED: I am so happy with my results! Healing was very fast and easy, just be sure to drink liquids with a straw. I thought the peeling would be awful, but it was just one thin layer that peeled off (like a sunburn) and it wasn't very noticeable to others. My color is super even and turned out much better than I expected. This was worth every penny and the pain. I love waking up and having fabulous lips! It makes me feel comfortable to wear no make up on the rest of my face and still feel great. ORIGINAL REVIEW- After being so tired of applying make up every day, I decided to try out lip blushing as a permanent lipstick solution! Arina is a true artist and she is extremely detail oriented in her work. She starts the visit by consulting on finding the perfect color and saturation for you. (Be sure to bring your favorite lipsticks as an example). She really trusts the client and doesn't pressure you in any way. I personally wanted a brighter pop of color rather than something really natural. The color will appear lighter and more natural in a few days. The tattooing procedure takes about two hours and there were uncomfortable moments, But nothing intolerable. She used numbing cream very frequently which really helped. Certain parts of the procedure I could not feel anything except for pressure. Other parts I could feel tattooing. My lips were swollen afterwards but six hours later the swelling already started to go down. I can't wait to see the final result! Now I'm contemplating getting permanent eye liner too

    I absolutely love my PMU eyeliner and lipblush for these reasons: 1. My skin is pale, so lipblush adds a nice color to my overall complection. 2. No longer need to use tint lipstick for business lunches, worring about my lipstick. 3. I tear up when I laugh, always used to smudge my liner, no more 4. Waking up with a perfect liner is a bliss 5. Swimming in a pool, eye make up proof - awesome! 6. Save time before work on make up - priceless. 7. Never have to worry about my mask and lipstick during covid time. In terms of pain/discomfort. I have done lipblush and eyeliner with touch ups (which in my opinion is a must). As I tell my girlfriends, if I had a choice between dental appointment and lipblush, I'd do lipbush. Arina, numbs lips and on the scale of 1-10, my discomfort was at 1. When it comes to an eyeliner, it's more of a sensitive area but still totally worth the results, which I absolutely love. My lips and eyes were swollen for 48 hours after PMU, a minor discomfort that is totally worth the long lasting outcome!  Arina was patient, listened to all my concerns and wishes, in no rush discussed the best option for my PMU results. I totally recommend her PMU!

    I wish I had done this sooner. Arina does some of the best permanent makeup around. I had her do my brows and it's the best thing ever. I don't feel like I have to wear makeup anymore. I just wake up perfect LOL The shape is nice and balances out my face well. It's subtle and natural looking but noticeable enough that I see a difference. The experience was almost painless, I actually fell asleep during the procedure Healing was easy and fast. They look great now but she also recommends a touch up within 2 months. So excited about this. Do it. It's worth it.

    Timelapse from before my procedure to Day 4

    I feel so honored that Arina did my lips. I wanted a lip blush because my lips are light in color. The top lip specifically, disappears into my gums when I smile and it looks like I just have no upper lip. I don't like wearing lipstick either because I have a sharp Cupid's bow and don't want to draw attention to it. Overall, I mainly wear tinted lip balm or gloss. I wanted my lips to have a natural pigmentation where I can just wear gloss but it still shows in photos that I DO have lips. When I got to the studio Arina was very kind and listened to my concerns. I specified the shade I wanted and the color tones I didn't like. I also told her to not emphasize my Cupid's bow. She offered an alternative that she could round out the tips of my Cupid's bow since I didn't like the sharpness. She also educated me a bit about color theory and what pigments she thinks would best fit my lip skin tone. The service was done in 3 hours and she was very attentive about my bathroom breaks and also my responses to if I needed more numbing cream. I almost fell asleep during the procedure because I felt very taken care of. Arina was extremely thorough in the process as she kept going back to check certain spots at different angles even though we were basically done. This does pay off in the long run because my lips were drawn very precisely and there is no patchiness. The healing process was a breeze and I get more excited as each day passes because I couldn't wait to see the result of my lips. She completely nailed the color I was picturing, even when I only brought in my sheer tinted lip balm instead of an opaque lipgloss/lipstick. Trust me when I say she doesn't disappoint and is worth the money! She is truly passionate about her work and is extremely educated in this field. If you are more curious about her, I'd suggest you check out her Instagram (@arina_musepmu) as she does engage with followers and show her knowledge about these treatments. She is trustworthy and reputable and I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in a lip blush tattoo.

After many years being out on the field and exposed to the elements, and stress from the job, my skin took a beating. One of my lady friends told me that men have skin too and therefore should take care of their skin. Well I can't argue with that. I decided to give Anita B Spa a try because 2 of my friends rave about them and have been going there for skin care for a long time. I did not know what to expect. When I arrived, I was greeted by Anita Chan, who owns the business. She was very friendly and supportive. There was a procedure that hurt so much but felt so good and left my pores cleared. I cried a little. When the session was done, my face felt refreshed. The ambience was relaxing and the prices were fair. I decided to keep going. Btw both Redwood City and San Francisco locations were great and finding parking wasn't too difficult. I can't wait to see what Anita has in store for her Redwood City location. After 6 months of visiting Anita B Spa and Anita B Well, my coworkers tell me I am as ugly as ever, but my skin looks great. They commented how it looks moisturized and glowing. My neighbor asked my younger sister if I was her younger brother. I am glad I set aside my misgivings and visited Anita B Spa. While they can't perform miracles, one thing is for sure, they can make one's skin healthy and glowing. Regardless whether you're a man or woman, young or seasoned, taking care of your skin is never too late and worth it. Treat yourself and make an appointment. You'll thank me later!

When I went in for my touch up, even she seemed surprised at how dark and large the strokes still were. She said I shouldn't worry, they'd fade in two-ish years. I spent two years feeling so embarrassed and covering up the inner corners with foundation. I recently sought out saline removal and my technician was appalled at Anita's work: she couldn't believe how large the strokes were, how dark and unnecessarily DEEP the ink was placed, and how close together she made my brows for no reason. The saline removal also proved she used concentrated dark ink only on my inner brows, as the pigment pulled super heavy there (but no where else) which my removal tech said is bizarre. My removal tech even said "it seems like she was trying to make you look bad". I don't think that was Anita's intention, but I do think she should stop providing this service. It was unethical to tell me these would be temporary, that they would fade, and that the strokes would be whisper-thin. I currently have saline scars on my face and I look like a crazy person as I go through this humiliating removal process. Anita never once called out or acknowledged the poor work, just happily took my money even though I could tell she knew she did a bad job when I went in for touch up. I also had a spray tan at this salon a few years prior and the technician was super rude. I tried to give this spot so many chances, but the psychological distress of getting a botched permanent tattoo on my face that she claimed would fade in two years is a 0/5 star experience.

I personally felt misled by that lack of clarity because it was information I needed upfront to make an informed decision. Since I had already started, I went through the three sessions I was eventually told would be needed in total. Although there was some improvement after those three sessions, the issue I came in for was still clearly visible. After the third session, there was an interaction that left me feeling very upset, belittled, and spoken to in a way that felt very harsh and dismissive. The tone of the conversation made me feel disrespected and extremely uncomfortable, and it occurred in front of another customer, which made the situation even more upsetting.
