I've been telling my clients no micro blading because the color that they use is super toxic and has metals and chemicals that sit in your system (right by your brain ) suppressing immune function! I finally found a non-toxic solution! Super happy with Nancy Akbari and her artistry. They have the only US patented organic plant based ink without METALS and other toxins that most micro blading inks contain. They also have the first and only device that penetrates the superficial layer of the skin, causing minimal to no pain, no trauma, no bleeding, nor bruising. It's the least invasive PMU device in the industry. Plus they are super conscious about health and immune and work with cancer patients who have lost brows to chemo or alopecia patients too! As a first time microblader I did not know you have to avoid the sun for about two weeks and you can't get water on your face for at least three days so if you are a person who regularly has to do hair and make up for your job if you're on camera or you work outside you need to plan accordingly. Since I shoot videos regularly for my work I do wish I had known that ahead of time to plan ahead but overall it was definitely worth it! I'm so happy with the end result and it's nice to know that I'm not doing something for my "beauty" that harms my health! read more

So happy with the full eyebrow microblading that I had done with Nancy! I've gotten so many compliments on how pretty and natural it looks. Nancy is a fastidious artist and a total sweetheart. I didn't really come in with a clear idea of the design that I wanted for my brows, but I love what she created! The salon and workspace are immaculate. They are careful with temperatures checks, gloving, and even have clients wash their hands before coming into the procedure room. I also know from working in the medical field that their instruments are coming out of the autoclave (medical grade sterilization). Grace at the front desk is very friendly and accommodating. They definitely have your comfort and satisfaction in mind for the whole experience, and numbing cream is applied after the first pass. Couldn't recommend more! read more

I came in for an eyebrow correction to one of my brows after an initial service, by a different person. While one brow came out really nice, I was not happy with the arch or shape of the other. Nancy is an amazing master artist and she is a stellar professional. She explained each part of the process, answered all of my questions, and she identified the exact same areas that I wanted corrected, prior to me telling her. She is highly skilled, very knowledgeable, has 20+ years of experience, and her services are worth every penny. I ended up also getting a permanent eyeliner service and I am in love with results. I cannot wait to return for my touch up service and to explore more of the enhancement offerings she performs. "Nancy you are an extraordinary artisan and you have my business for life!" read more

Nancy is the absolute best!!!! An artist I have been seeing her for my lips and ky sister did her eyebrows and we would rather do without them go anywhere else! She's that great! read more

Nancy exceeded my expectations! I came in for microblading and was not really sure which type of microblading. Nancy was so intuitive and recommended which type to do. The process was painless! The results have been amazing, it looks so natural. It's been 4 weeks and I'm about to go in for a touchup, but I don't think I need any since she did such a remarkable job the first time. I also ended up doing a lip blush/ lip correction, I was really concerned about the pain but she promised it wouldn't hurt and she was right, no pain at all. The moment I felt a tickle, she reapplied the numbing cream. You won't regret it. If your number one main concern is the pain, I promise it will not hurt. Nancy is a true artist. Thank you, Nancy, I feel so good about my myself read more

I made an appointment with Lorine the owner of OPM for a microblading procedure. Her procedure is very unique because she uses organic makeup and her own patented machine that doesn't cut theough the skin, yet provides very similar results. Lorine does amazing work! She takes her time, makes you as comfortable as possible and the pain as minimal as possible. She's constantly reapplying the numbing, which I appreciated. Her skill is top notch too, the strokes are thin and not too long; they look like real hair, even right after the procedure, when it's supposed to be the darkest. Check her out! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more

I found OPM in a tradeshow in New York & have been following them ever since. Funny enough I was looking for a different permanent makeup company & came upon OPM's booth. What drew my attention to them was the crowd they were getting, the before & after pics & the work they were doing. It was amazing to know that their pigments are organic, made from vegetable dye & their colors do not have iron oxide, which causes the color to change turning green, blue, orange, etc., a fact that I didnt even know. Their digital machines are revolutionary, gentle vibrations which doesnt cause trauma to the skin making you heal in 3-5 days, no down time. Amazing! I have a rotary & a different digital machine, starts with the letters N & C. Its definitely not the same, clints heal in 7-10 days, scabs which causes color loss, machine not as gentle & there is down time. OPM's digital permanent makeup machine blows everything out of the water & surpasses other machines. I also love their cartridges. The ink reservoir is in the cartridge itself, which makes it less wasteful & no chance of damaging the needle because you dont have to dip it in an ink cup anymore. The price of the needles are definitely cheaper to replace compared to my other N.C. machine. I've done alot of research on OPM. Seeing that they blow every competition out of the water, I made that journey to travel to LA to get trained by the best of the best, the creme of the crop. It was no easy task either, being a single mother of 3, I had to juggle the kids between 7 different family & friends for school drop off, pick up, night stays, weekends, you can imagine. A big sacrifice, but one I was willing to take for this big leap of faith. I decided on their full extensive training, which included brows, eyeliner, lips & scalp pigmentation because I dont know when the next time I will be travelling to LA so let me just do everything one shot. In a class with a whole bunch of strange women, all of us were thirsty for knowledge. In walks Lorine Mikheail, the owner & train of OPM. She trained us hard, like boot camp. Even before we set foot on the premises, we were required to do online training, & submit our work for critique. First watch videos, then print paper to practice the hair strokes, draw on eyes & lips, then draw fitting shapes to picture faces, then practice on skins with the tools/machines, all the while submitting your work to each step. I am 100%, no 1000% positive that you will get no training elsewhere like how Lorine gives. She isnt there to take your money, Lorine is there to make sure she trains qualified permanent makeup artists because her name & reputation is on the line. She has my utmost respect for that. There were so many sad testimonials from the other students where they went with other companies, took their money, they felt like they didnt learn anything, the teacher wasnt even there most of the time, student need to pay extra to get certificate, or no models to work on, etc. I am so thankful & grateful I found the right teacher & went with OPM & Lorine from the start. Lorine & her other trainers Joy & Nancy were with us every step of the way. Everything was step by step, no cutting corners & no leaving us in the dark for us to figure it out by ourselves. I am so thankful for that. Lorine not only teaches us the "how" factors but also the "why" factors. For the ones who didnt "get it" right away, they spent extra time so those students can get up to par with the rest of us as long as those students showed effort & wanted to learn, they were willing to help. We were encouraged to keep practicing after class, which we did. Lorine not only gave us alot of information, she did alot of live demonstrations. Me, being one of the lucky ones, got my brows microbladed & she went over every step, talking about the proper stretching technique & the correct depth. I was able to feel what it's supposed to feel like. She also did a client's eyeliners & lips & we all had front row seats. We had a gentleman for scalp pigmentation, for those who have thin hair, are thinning, balding, this is great to have under your belt. You know you're doing good is when you are able to practice on models. There were alot of models so we got alot of practice. Either Lorine, Joy or Nancy was there with us as we were performing procedures. They made sure we were stretching properly & if we didnt, they showed us correctly. They made sure we were at the right needle depth by feeling our vibrations. Hands down, I guarantee you will get no training like no other, ever. I did 4 different procedures so I definitely am more confident. The client gave me a huge tip, the biggest Ive ever received in my lifetime working in the service industry. I highly recommend OPM for their training academy or if anybody wants to get any procedures done. Their work & training is like no other. You will walk away like a trillion bucks! You wont regret taking on your journey with OPM! read more

Organic Permanent Makeup - Thank you for my eyebrows Lorine. Love the work that you do. I dont need to waste time penciling my brows anymore! Love it! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Culver City, California

I got my eyebrows done by Nancy at OPM and she was amazing! I just went back for my 2-3 year touchup and when I told my friend what I was doing she had no idea my eyebrows weren't all natural! Nancy is a true artist and you can trust her to get the shape, color, and size exactly right and very natural looking. I even traveled from SF where I live now because I don't trust anyone else to touch my face. read more

It's been 5 years since I've had my eyebrows done and today I received a compliment so I had to give the woman her information. If you're going to get your eyebrows done may as well go to the best. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at organic permanent makeup. I had my first micro blading session august 2021 and it only took about an hour. Nancy did my eyebrows, she is amazing and explained the whole process beforehand. There is not much pain, it is similar to getting a tattoo and they give you a numbing cream after the first pass. After they were done, Nancy gave me after care instructions and a gel to keep on my eyebrows. They looked better than I ever thought they could and the healing process went well. I went in for my touch up September 2021 and Nancy applied a slightly darker color. She did such a great job and I love my new eyebrows. They were so sparse before and now my time getting ready in the morning is less than half what it was. I feel more confident and beautiful than ever and I really have to thank Nancy and the staff at OPM! You guys are changing lives for the better, thank you! read more

DAY 1: I can not express how amazing it is to wake up every day with perfect eyebrows and a natural lash line without doing anything. Lorine is an amazing artist she knew exactly what my face shape needed to have a "naturally" perfect face. I would and do recommend any interested in semi-permanent makeup to go here. Day 31: I thought that day one..however now I'm at day 31 and its barely there! I don't see how this is going to last 3-5 years as promised. Lorine is an amazing artist but that's it, she is a bad business woman and a liar. Don't believe the lies. YES it hurts days after, Yes you WILL be swollen, NO it will not last 3-5 years. Too bad because it's awesome in theory, but sadly not the truth. Also NO it's not organic, she just says it is, she really has it made over seas and they label the color themselves, apparently it costs too much to have it certified as organic and since it's not food no one has taken the time to shut her down. Oh and I'm sure if someone went to inspect that office for cleanliness it would be shut down, Lorine and her employees don't even wash there hands or sanitize anything, it really grossed me out. Lastly: it's not organic nor permanent so what kind of a name is "Organic Permanent Makeup?" One just to attract clients but is actually false. read more

Nancy is amazing!!!! I love love love my eyeliner!! If your unsure about getting eyeliner, I'm here to tell you don't be! Nancy is the most amazing artist. I am so happy with my results , I have not had to wear anything on my eyes.. I am fair skin with blue eyes.. I wake in the morning looking like I have makeup on but in a natural way. You will not be disappointed!!!! I'm looking forward to getting another procedure done. I highly recommend Nancy at OPM. If I could give her 10 stars .. I would !!! read more

This was my first time doing permanent makeup and I'm so happy I did. They did a wonderful job with my lips! I'm surprised that it wasn't painful.

I was extremely happy with the service I received. Will definitely be going back. Highly recommended! read more

Just finished the 2 day organic brow digital Microblading class. Nancy, Grace and Lorine all where welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. The facility is very clean, and professional. The training covered the basics, and it's not easy but the team gives you all the tools for success if you're willing to put in the time. Looking forward to finishing my 8 week post training program to go forward to taking the Advance academy class in 2020. read more

Love the training I received at this academy. Lorine , Joy and Nancy are the experience teachers I have ever met. They have the art of teaching mastered. If you want to be the best in perm makeup , microblading this is the school to sign up for . Unlike other teaching schools they will work with you one on one until you can go to the next step. They provide models and not just one but one after another and all models leave happy. I provided a picture below of my first brow client I did alone in my spa after trainiing . I am so grateful.. read more

I'm went to Nancy for my brows because there were so many good reviews about her work. When I arrived for my appointment she thoroughly reviewed with me the options. Microblading, microshading, ombre... we discussed what would work best for my skin, my face, and what I was hoping to achieve (my brows are very sparse on the outside edges). We went with microshading! She expertly measured and mapped out what my new brows were going to look like, and then she went to work. I've had friend have this done elsewhere and they told me it was painful. That's definitely not the case with Nancy! Of course I felt it, but it was not painful at all. The end result was exactly what I hoped for. Thank you Nancy, I love my brows! read more

Just got my retouch with Loren! First of all I'm a sales person at Martin Cadillac down the street...so that means I have no time ever!! But Loren manage to get me out of spa with numbing and retouch in under an hour! Yes girls you can go there on your lunch break! And girls I'm Latina with porcelain skin... and no my face was not red after... i'm telling you I still had on my makeup and look normal when I went back to work... nobody at work notice...They all thought I got my eyebrows threaded because they looked sooo good! But when I told them I got them tattooed they freaked out! Because they look so natural definitely 3-D tattoos status even the most conservative coworker said they looked great. The color Loren picked for my eyebrows was extremely natural looking and that's the whole point. And she knows how to pick an eyebrow shape that flatters your face I swear she made my face look thinner ;) please ask 4her read more

I'm an Esthetican.And I've been looking into microblading eyebrows,for awhile now. I saw Lorine at the Long Beach skin show. I'm skeptical. About everything. Microblading. It being the new fad.... Etc.... I then went to her OPM class at the show. She was honest . Had 25 years under her belt. Plus she did demos. That looked great. Also she was into not hurting people. And doing things the right way. And coming up with pigments that don't fade and hurt people as well. Well I just finished a 3 day course. Guess what it was way harder than I thought. But now I know that if I plan to do this I'm really going to have to work a lot harder to get it. So I'm going to have to take the advanced class. Thanks OPM! read more

I'm all about natural beauty so I came in with initial trepidations about my virgin face being somehow altered with the permanence of tatoo on my eyebrows... The owner, Lorine reassured me of the results and sure enough after the complete healing process was done.. What revealed was beautiful set of eyebrows that has enhanced my features. I whole heartily recommend this unique innovations in artistry and organic safety of product. S. P. Marina Del Rey, CA read more

It took me 3 years to write a review but every time I look in the mirror it makes me angry. I had eyebrows done by my aunt 20 years before I decided to renew them. I still had faded traces of the lines and my aunt retired from the business. I passed by this particular business many times and I decided to give myself a Christmas present on December of 2019. I was assigned an artist since I didn't have a preference and I think because of post-traumatic stress from this experience I blocked her name from my mind. All I remember is her speaking Persian on the phone through the whole procedure. She said she was "training" somebody. After she finished she gave me a mirror and I told her that they were not even. The right one was too high up. She started to prove to me with some app that they are even. I don't need an app to see it in the mirror because I could see my old permanent makeup line below it. So now I have 2 right eyebrows and I have to hide the old one with some makeup. I never went back to them because the pandemic started but I just want everybody to be aware that permanent makup is PERMANENT so make sure you know who is working on you! read more

Loraine, I'm sorry, but I requested the highest setting after the first treatment because I felt that she did not even have the machine on. She said she did, but it was no different. I question her word and also her legitimacy. I don't even think she was an RN, seeing as how she didn't wear scrubs and she was only working there because she was your friend. She didn't know what she was doing. Also, no refund was ever offered to me at any point. I would have gotten my money back and ran! read more

BY FAR THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I took Lorine's 2-day microdermabrasion course and I received a lot of knowledge and insight and not only was I a student but I was able to sit in as a model for the live demo for the course. Lorine is a master at her craft and my eyebrows came out perfect! Definitely will recommend to those who inquire, her technique is unmatched and her products are amazing. Lorine is simply the best, my eyebrows healed as Lorine said they would and I am very happy with my decision, money well spent. THANK YOU OPM read more

I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH MY RESULTS AND THIS PLACE, I had very light and very thin eyebrows and penciled them in for years, so I was excited when I found out about Lorine. I got my eyebrows tattooed yesterday and I love them. I go back in about a month for my second treatment and I think they will look absolutely perfect after that. Lorine does great work and is very very professional and likable. She REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING, Thats important when your tattooing something on your face, Her office is comfortable and she offers you drinks as you wait. she will tell you what she will do every step, Once she was finished she had me check her work and I asked if they could be a little longer. She happily fixed them for me and was really nice about everything. When I was finished and ready to pay , she explained how to apply the ointment and told me I was welcome to call with any questions. Lorine is very thorough and very good at what she does. All of my friends are shocked that my eyebrows are tattooed since they look so natural! I highly recommend Lorine to anyone who is nervous about getting their eyebrows (or other permanent makeup) done since she is so patient and sweet. The whole procedure took about an hour since she had another client ahead of me, but the tattooing took about 30 minutes. I LOVE THIS PLACE THANK YOU LORINE read more

These women are excellent professionals with artistic capability and discerning eyes. Nancy corrected my eyebrow tattoo, replacing overly large blue tattoos with smaller, natural colored brows. Lorine applied Botox to my forehead giving me a smooth and wonderful look in advance of a big bash I attended. Their personalities are warm and friendly and they're just terrific! And their prices are reasonable as well. I will be going back for more Botox as needed and for whatever other beauty perk I may need. (I'm not getting any younger - and none of us are! LOL!) read more

I took the Microblading class. I learned a lot in 3 days. Lorine is great!

Intense 3 days class.. I am Very happy! read more

Nancy Akbari is a true artist, and is also an incredibly kind and sweet person. I had my eyebrows, eyeliner and lips lined. I had overplucked my eyebrows, and they never grew back properly.Now they are perfect, the perfect color and shape for me.Nancy measures and is meticulous. My lip line was ruined by frequent cold sores when I was young. Nancy fixed that as well, now the line is intact & the color and shape are so pretty. I also had eyeliner. I chose to have it subtle and just right. I really love not having to put on makeup. Follow the aftercare instructions, and apply the ointment. My healing process was smooth. Make sure you go in for the touch up 4 weeks later. The owner, Lorine, did botox beautifully-fast and efficient. Do not go anywhere else read more

I absolutely love Lorine. I was born with very light and thin hair and you could barely see my eyebrows and when I was 18 I went to get my eyebrows tattooed and they did such a horrible job that I had to use makeup to cover my eyebrows everyday then 3 years ago I had my friend tattoo my eyebrows again and unfortunately she made my eyebrows crooked. I was tired of having to redo my eyebrows everyday so I found Lorine on Yelp and I decided to give her a try. The whole process took three visits because she had to correct my eyebrows and I am happy. Now I wake up and I don't have to put makeup on she is wonderful. I would recommend her to everyone. read more

I have been wanting to get my eyebrows filled in for a while after searching and asking friends I found Lorine at Organic Permanent Make Up. From the minute I contacted them to the moment I left I felt welcomed and comfortable. Lorine is a professional make up artist that takes pride in her work and only wants you to look beautiful. I have had microblading before I can promise this procedure is waaaaaayy better. It is faster, and virtually pain free Lorine constantly checks in to make sure you don't feel anything and the results are beautiful. You get more defined shape and full coverage. I have told my friends and family to check out Lorine and if you are looking for a honest trustworthy artist that knows and cares about their work this is your place. I am already looking forward to future procedure with Lorine and Organic Permanent Make Up . read more

Found this permanent makeup course at a tradeshow. Was indecisive about which company I wanted to train with because there are so many in LA. The second I saw Lorine talk about her company I knew I wanted to train with her. Everything from her machine to her pigments are customized based on her many years in the permanent makeup industry. Her course is a no nonsense kind of course. Lorine will tell you if you suck and she will not hold back if you need to work on something. It's called honesty. She isn't sugar coating things for you. That itself is what makes it an amazing course. Things are not going to get any easier when you leave and screw up someone's face... ITS PERMANENT! Take the criticism and CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES! Having a bunch of crybaby, sort of good, perm makeup artists is not what she's striving for. It's her business and her brand and its about time someone raises student standards so that people can go to someone they can trust. On top of that, every single girl who works there is amazing! The facilities are clean and the parking is easy... I will definitely take more courses and tell anyone who wants to train about OPM. read more

Lorine has done my brows twice & does a good job. So I brought her 3 friends who also got their brows done. One of the girls I brought got Botox as well as myself. She last did my brows a little over a year ago, but the ink has faded which is normal. I wanted to schedule a touch up & she wanted $250 for a touch up, so I declined & scheduled an appointment else where. read more

I absolutely love Lorine and the OPM academy. There is no match for the extensive education you will receive for microblading and permanent makeup. After researching many permanent makeup companies I was so pleased to find a company that focuses on science based information while training and a class that is more than a week long. I am feeling more and more comfortable with my craft and I know that I will be giving my clients the absolute best service with safety and longevity as a focus. Love you Lorine, Nancy and Joy! read more
