I went to Perfect Pigment for my upper and lower liner after considering the procedure for a long while, and I am so glad that I did. The entire process was super easy and pretty much painless, and the results are awesome! The Perfect Pigment studio is extremely conveniently located right off the embarcadero BART stop so. The office itself is very well appointed, spotlessly clean, and Allison uses top of the line equipment for both the procedure and sanitization. I found Allison to be very attentive to my specific eyeliner preferences and explained everything about the process in detail before the procedure. Everything took about an hour and a half from start to finish. My eyes were a bit sore afterward but felt totally fine the next day and I was able to go out the next day looking like I was wearing eye makeup with nothing on, score! Very happy with the experience overall! read more

I have so much regret over choosing Allison/Perfect Pigment but I will start with the positive, because Allison was nice on the day of the appointment, her office is very clean, she took her time during the appointment, and was easy to book. However, none of these factors make up for my results. My brows are uneven, different shapes, the hair strokes were placed far too close together and look like blobs rather than hairs, and the color she chose is way too dark, even a month later after fading (and in full disclosure, I did not ask to see beforehand, because I trusted her, thinking that she was the professional and didn't need me to micro-manage) and I left her office in tears. My outcome/results after the first session were so poor, that I consulted 2 other professionals for a redo/correction, one of whom said that my brows cannot be fixed and I should consider removal, and the other strongly recommended that I cancel my follow up appointment and needs to see them in person before determining if it's even possible to fix them. Allison emailed me to check in a few weeks after the initial session and when I told her that I was still very disappointed, wanted to cancel my follow up appointment, and shared with her pictures of my completely uneven and blob-y brows her response was 'okay, I'll cancel it.' No apology, no effort to remedy, essentially it felt like she was saying 'good riddance.' This is your face. Please, please learn from my mistake and do your due diligence. I noticed afterwards (when it was too late!) that all of the Yelp photos are 'posted by the business owner' - not a single photo from actual clients and this seems like a HUGE red flag. Like I said, Allison was nice and made it easy to book, but all the nice-ness and ease of booking in the world won't fix the mess that will now live on my forehead for up to 2 years... read more

I cannot say enough about Perfect Pigment, and Allison. I originally booked an appointment with her after a terrible experience with another microblading company (three strokes in and I made them stop, it was terrible) Her correspondence was fast and professional, her location was ideal (easy to get to, and inside of a cosmetic surgery office- clean, and gorgeous!) and her fees are beyond reasonable. She is also a licensed esthetician and has many other certifications and is extremely educated which is a huge bonus for me, and should be for you as well! On to the experience.... When I came in for my original appointment I had done a lot of research and knew what I was getting into, but Allison did a very professional and thorough consultation that was incredibly personalized and I was beyond impressed! She gave me great information, addressed all of my concerns and worked WITH me to come up with a design that not only would look best but that we both agreed I would also LOVE. She took her time and made sure that I was happy with the design, color, even my comfort which was an absolute dream. As it turns out I needed a bit more numbing than some, but she made detailed notes and the second time around when I came in for my touch-up appointment, I felt NOTHING. She made the whole experience pleasant, and she was so personable. My biggest concerns were comfort- I had a very bad experience previously, but Allison made this a cakewalk. The first time I felt a little discomfort, which I expected, but nothing terrible. The second time I did not feel a thing! My other big concerns were shape and color. I am a natural dark blonde, and those of you who are know that finding that *just right* shade is like finding the holy grail, but the color that she mixed was PERFECT! My biggest fear had to be walking out having the round "ronald mcdonald" eyebrows, but she made sure to address my concern and worked with me on a design and checking in with me every step of the way. Her machine is whisper quite which helps the nerves, and just as exact and efficient as actual microblading. Healing was also much easier than I was expecting. I was waiting for scabs and flakes,etc that you come to expect after reading about having this kind of procedure done but I didn't have any of that! I took care of my brows as instructed and they healed beautifully. The color also settled wonderfully and is the perfect shade for me! My brows were mostly invisible before but now they are there without being totally 'in your face!' They are exactly what I wanted. I could not be any happier with my brows. The whole experience was pleasant and professional and everything I had wanted when I was seeking out having my brows done. I am so happy with them that I am very seriously considering coming to her for a few other services... the hardest part is choosing which one! In summary, if you are looking for a qualified, educated, and pleasant permanent brow artist- Allison is your woman! You will love your brows and your experience, guaranteed. read more

I love my brows, I can't stop looking at them! Allison is an incredible artist, she takes her time measuring your brows to make sure they are perfect. I barely had brows..I still can't believe I have perfect brows! No more spending time drawing my brows in! Allison is very sweet and a confident artist! I recommend Perfect Pigment 110%! Thank you Allison for the perfect experience read more

I went to Allison back when she ran a lovely little skincare studio and I'm so excited that she's doing permanent makeup now. Her attention to detail is amazing and she's very knowledgeable about various skin and color tones. She tells you what she's about to do so that you feel comfortable before each step and the place is absolutely spotless. I highly recommend this clinic! read more

Allison is a perfectionist, she is lovely to deal with, extremely professional and achieves amazing results for you. She did such a great job on my face and now I feel so confident. I will be travelling to San Francisco from San Diego for my permanent make up and electrolysis treatments. You are worth it thank you Allison. read more

Couldn't be more happier with the results. I got my eyebrows done by Allison Ombres. She was extremely professional and detail oriented from start to finish. Allison is extremely knowledgeable and will be more than happy to explain and answer any questions. I highly recommend her. read more

This review is for the eyebrow and eyelash enhancement service. First, it's important to know that this isn't microblading, it's basically a tattoo, and is much more permanent than microblading. That said, Allison does a great job of explaining the reasons why her more permanent method is superior, not only because it lasts much longer but because it creates less scar tissue, and I'm glad I went with her technique instead, even though I was a bit nervous about the permanency. I was really happy with every aspect of the service, and I NEVER thought I'd get permanent makeup as it just sounded too scary and too fake looking (I do wear some makeup every day as a rule but I tend to go for a natural, minimal look) But I exercise a lot and also have a crazy work schedule and I am loving waking up in the morning with my face already having a bit of polish to it, or catching a look at my face in the mirror at the gym during a sweaty workout and thinking, damn, my eyebrows are ON POINT. I ended up with beautiful, full eyebrows in the perfect color to match my ginger complexion, and the eyelash enhancement is great too - for the first time ever I'm ok with how I look with no mascara, as my pale-lashed eyes have a bit of definition on their own without it looking like too much. If you've always dreamed of waking up in the morning and looking surprisingly great without makeup, you really should consider it! Allison is super professional, impeccably hygienic, and a perfectionist about her craft. She is the only person I'd trust to put an actual tattoo on my face. Honestly I just wish I'd done this years ago! read more

i went back and forth on whether or not to get my eyebrows done - i'm so glad i decided to go through with it and that i found allison. she is very detail-oriented, explained every step to me, and really took her time to get them just right. she was also so sweet...i had a mini-meltdown just as we were starting since i was pretty nervous about the whole thing. she was so nice and relaxed about it, didn't pressure me to continue, and let me take my time before she started again. turned out the meltdown was for nothing because i love how they came out! read more
