Francesca Scognamiglio is truly an artist! I just got my lip blush + nano/powder combo brows (hair strokes with soft shading) done today and I'm already so impressed. She was meticulous, patient, and skilled from consultation through the entire procedure. The brows have beautiful natural hair-like strokes with perfect powder shading for fullness, and the lip blush gives a soft, flattering tint that enhances my natural color. Everything looks a bit darker right now as expected while healing, but I can already tell the final result is going to be stunning. Highly recommend her studio in Orange, CA if you're considering permanent makeup, it's worth every penny! read more

Francesca is a true artist at eyebrows and eyeliner. She did such an amazing job!! She was able to recreate an eyebrow that had a scar on it due to a surgery. Definitely recommend! read more

I've been Francesca's client for a few years now and have had several procedures done with her. Every single time, the results have exceeded my expectations--I completely trust her, and as I most recently said her "Do what you want because I trust you" I started with my eyebrows (and have kept up with regular touch-ups), then did the Eyelash enhancement, and most recently a Lip Blush. I couldn't be happier with every single one of these procedures! She always listens carefully to what I want--which was always a very natural result--and takes the time to explain the process and reassure me every step of the way. I was particularly hesitant to get the Lip Blush because I worried it might turn out too bright or "fake", but the result is so beautiful that I actually went back and asked her to enhance it a little more and I am obsessed with the result! If you're on the fence about getting permanent makeup, trust Francesca with all your heart and just book it. The only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner! read more

Just love that I don't need any makeup for my brows when I get ready every day. Thank you, Francesca, for always doing beautiful work! read more

Permanent Makeup by Francesca - Just love that I don't need any makeup for my brows when I get ready every day. Thank you, Francesca, for always doing the best job! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Orange, California

I chose Francesca because if I'm going to be putting something permanent on my face I better find a qualified artist who won't make me end up looking like Groucho Marks. I wanted a natural look so I chose the nano brow which looks like eyebrow hair and I also got the eyelash enhancement which was so perfect. When i tell people I have permanent makeup they can't believe how natural it looks even my husband didn't notice when I had no make on. I am very pleased with Francesca's skills. I went back yesterday for the Procell micro needling and they go above and beyond not missing one spot on your face and I have no irritation and my redness is almost gone overnight!I highly recommend Francesca and Frank my Procell was done by her husband Frank. read more

Francesca is truly an artist. I got a smudged eyeliner done and I'm honestly blown away by how soft and natural it looks. It enhances my eyes without looking harsh or overdone. She took her time to understand exactly what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. I wake up feeling put together without even trying--highly recommend her! read more

Absolutely YES! If you know what you want or even if you don't Francesca is the one for you. I fist came to her 5 yrs ago and will not let anyone else touch my face. She is completely professional, educational & a perfectionist. Her quality is immaculate and the vibes are calming. Worth every penny. If you are in need of brow, eye liners & lip pigmentation Go see Francesca, she will not disappoint. read more

Francesca did such a great job with my eyebrows. I'm very happy she was able to fix the mess from a previous tattoo and reshape my brows. I've received many compliments since she reshaped them. read more

Francesca is very knowledgeable and always answers any questions I have. I've done my brows and an eyelash enhancement, and I'm so happy I did. Not having to pencil in my brows is a huge time saver. Now I can easily run an early morning errand without having to worry if I have brows on... My lashes have thinned as I've aged and the lash enhancement is a plus since I hardly wear makeup these days. A couple strokes of mascara (or not) and I'm good to go. Francesca was not the first person to ever do my brows but I do wish I had found her many years ago! Now she's the only one I go to. read more

I just wanted to update this five years later.... I am still so incredibly happy with the results! I didn't wear much makeup to begin with so for me the permanent makeup has been all I need and amazing. I still go in for annual touchups and Francesca is so wonderful! I get pretty anxious about the process and she is always so patient and professional! read more

I am OBSESSED with my new eyebrows and hate that I waited so long to get them done by Francesca. Not only is Francesca a master at her craft, she is passionate about her profession and her clients. She deserves more than 5 stars! read more

I highly recommend Francesca for all of your Permanent Makeup needs. I have been contemplating getting my eyebrows and lash line done for the past couple of years. Because I'm older, my eye lashes and eyebrows are thinning and it kept taking me longer to do my make up. Because I was somewhat fearful that the process would hurt I kept coming up with excuses and kept putting it off. Finally a couple of months ago I got serious about it and scheduled an appointment with Francesca. We talked at length over the phone and she put my fears at ease...so I scheduled an appointment with her. During the appointment Francesca explained the whole process again as well as the recovery. We discussed exactly what I wanted, and I decided on the brush stroke method for my eyebrows. We decided to go a little less intense to see how I liked it and she indicated that during the touchup process several weeks later, we could always go more dramatic if I wanted. She drew on my eyebrows using a stroke method and I was super pleased with the shape and the overall appearance. She then proceeded with the tattoo process. I won't say it was pain-free, but it was certainly tolerable. She used red light therapy afterwards and I think it really made a difference in the healing process. My eyebrows healed beautifully, no scabbing or redness and only a little loss of pigment during the healing process. I love my eyebrows so much that a month later I decided to have my lash lines done to enhance my eyelashes. This process is a little more painful, but Francesca applies numbing cream to alleviate much of the pain. I absolutely love the results and I can't believe the difference the eye enhancement has made. I feel like my eyes show up without having to use eyeliner. It makes my daily makeup routine so much easier. Today I went in for a touchup on both my eyebrows and my eyelashes and I am thoroughly pleased with the results. Francesca is very talented and knowledgeable. She listens to her clients and pays attention to detail. Her office is neat and clean and she always has upbeat music playing. Good vibe overall! read more

Francesca is an absolute perfectionist, a real artist. Several years ago, I admired someone's brows and got a referral and now others are admiring my brows, and have gone to Francesca. They are all happy with the results. I also opted for an eyelash enhancement a couple of years ago, which I like very much. read more

I had my eyebrows done by Francesca. I couldn't have picked a better person to do it.. I love the outcome, even though it's not had its second visit.. She has a great personality. I had my daughter with me and she explained everything to her answered all her questions and now my daughter is getting her eyebrows done.. I am so glad I found her will definitely recommend her to anybody that wants perfect results. The procedure was done very well and the environment was very comfortable. read more

I was really nervous about the "eyeliner" but it looks GREAT!. To all the women 60+ treat yourself. Mona Y Thank you, read more

I started getting my permanent makeup, brows and eyeliner, done about 15 yrs ago by 2 different technicians. I didn't move on from them, they went on to other jobs. I didn't know any difference until I met Francesca through a referral. Immediately she could tell that two different types of ink had been used on my brows from my 2 previous people. She had to do a color correction on my first session so I am looking forward to my upcoming session with her when she will put the color on my brows. I found it so interesting to hear her journey and all the education she has pursued to get her to the place she is now. She's definitely a artist with a great talent to be able to mix colors together to achieve the desired outcome for her clients . She also did my eyeliner which I really like. She helped me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I would gladly recommend her services to others and I look forward to continuing to work with her on my permanent makeup. Thank you Francesca read more

My brows look great! No touch up needed. This is 6 years later-my second time with Francesca. I like the spot where Francesca is located. Easy to find but close to the freeway so not too much surface street driving or noise. The music is familiar and the setting is easy to become comfortable in. Thank you for my personal improvement! Cheers! read more

This review is a long time coming... I met Francesca in 2016 when I first had my eyebrows and eyelash enhancement done. She did great work then, and when it was time to get them redone, I couldn't think of anyone else I would trust after that amazing experience. She is thorough and meticulous and explains the procedure(s) every step of the way. She's a true artist and her passion for her craft shines through. The photos speak for themselves. The "before" is after one session for the eyebrows and no eyeliner; the "after" is after the eyebrow touch up and first eyeliner session. Such beautiful work and so natural-looking! I can't find the words to describe how liberating it is to wake up and be ready to start my day without spending the extra time filling in my eyebrows evenly and getting the eyeliner wing just right. If you're thinking about getting any permanent makeup done, do yourself a favor and give Francesca a call. Thank you Francesca! read more

I had my eyebrows done by Francesca and I LOVE them!!! I have no (a tiny bit) real eyebrows and she spent time measuring and figuring out what I needed. I am making another appt after the first of the year for a touch up and I can't wait!!! Francesca is the sweetest most knowledgeable lady I have talked to about eyebrows! read more

Francesca has been doing eyebrow magic for me for a few years now, and I highly recommend her. Her talent is outstanding, her customer service is first rate, and she has a warm and welcoming personality. Her services have made a huge positive impact on my daily routine. read more

Anyone that is thinking of having their eyebrows done should totally do it and come to Francesca. I was really worried and apprehensive about Permanent Makeup, but I am SO happy with how my eyebrows turned out. Francesca is awesome and she really takes her time with you and cares about you. She draws your eyebrows on first so you can see how they're going to look and I loved how they looked. She went on to do powder brow and then brush strokes in the sparse areas. The first two visits I did have a reaction and took a bit of healing, but by the third appointment (which was complementary, because she knew my skin was reactive) my eyebrows took and they look awesome. It does not hurt and the aftercare is very minimal and I am so happy that I did it. If there is anyone out there that is on the fence about this, you should really go for it. I am very happy with how my eyebrows turned out. I will go back in a year to have them touched up, but right now, everything looks great! Thank you, Francesca ! By the way, you always get email follow ups from her which help to reassure you that everything is fine. I was worried because my eyebrows turned bright orange like Bozo the clown, but she reassured me that that would go away and it sure did within two days. read more

I just returned from getting my eyebrows and lips touched up. Francesca is excellent at what she does. I did alot of research before I decided to get this done. I am so glad I found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about getting these procedures done. She has a great way of keeping you calm and relaxed during your time with her... read more

I rarely take a drive for over an hour on the Los Angeles & Orange County freeways unless there's a big benefit waiting for me. I drive about 30 miles to get to Francesca. She is the artist who will have me looking fabulous at the end of our eyebrow tattoo session. Her artistic skills frame my eyes and make me look and feel young at heart. It's the perfect brows time after time. My last appointment was over a year ago and my brows had faded but were still pretty well defined. The hour session including the red light treatment went by fast. Francesca is always pleasant and welcoming. I wouldn't trust my eyebrows with anyone else. (I strayed and learned my lesson just before returning to her last year.) She is clean and follows all the safety protocols of her industry. After a few days of healing I will be looking forward to showing my refreshed eyebrows off! Thank you Francesca. read more

Francesca is renowned in the field of permanent makeup and beauty. She is committed to excellence and dedicated to providing her clients with life changing results. I had my eyebrows done from another clinician that were unsuccessful. Franciscan was able to perform color correction and reshape my eyebrows to compliment the facial features. I feel like a new woman! She recently performed full lips for me that give me definition, enhance my natural shape and color. I would highly recommend Francesca for any permanent makeup and skin care. Jan Weber, RN read more

For the past 4 years I have followed this amazing artist. Doing any kind of permanent changes to your appearance takes a talented professional and I know that Francesca is the best. I just recently had my eyebrows redone after about 6 years with another artist . Francesca went in and did a color correction first, then went back for my 2nd appointment to refine and shape them, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Im now in the healing stages. Besides her talent, her manner of making you feel comfortable, answering your questions and giving you the complete care instructions....so top notch. Make the right decision and become her client!! She deserves nore than 5's read more

It's been awhile but I finally came back to get my eyebrows done again since it's been years! I'm not sure how, but Francesca is even more amazing now!

I went to Francesca to get permanent eyeliner for both the top & bottom lids. I can't compliment Francesca enough. She is so very skilled and makes your session a very pleasant one. Francesca will make sure you have a good understanding of your after care and she completely communicates with you so you know everything that is going on. If you are thinking about doing eyeliner - I totally recommend Francesca. I love how I can practically jump out of the shower and be ready for the day without having to apply eyeliner. read more

Francesca is the owner and runs an amazing business. She was recommended to me in our local social media groups as the best. I was not disappointed. If you want her services, she is booked out months ahead. She is worth the wait and the expense. Francesca is professional and knows her stuff. I originally went to her for my eyebrows (microblading) and have since had her do permanent eyeliner. I love getting up in morning and seeing eyebrows when I look in the mirror! read more

I had my original tattoo done about a year and a half ago. To be honest, I wish I would've spent more money going up to a place I heard about in LA. I've always had to fill in my brows so I was soooo excited to finally save time and even go swimming without my brows melting off!! But that hasn't changed for me even after going here. I have never been able to go a day without filling my brows pre and post tattoo. And the hardest part is is that my tattoo doesn't match on both sides in either color or shape. I have to even it out every day. I know that time can change or fade colors, but the whole reason I invested half a grand was to maybe have to touch up or powder in my eyebrows. Now i have to powder them darker than I want to because the coloring is uneven. I am still reshaping with concealer to hide the unevenness of my tattoos because one is arched while the other is straighter and actually gets thicker instead of thinner along the arch of the brow. Overall, a huge bummer. I'm looking to have to spend more to get what I originally paid for and I still have to fill in my brows no matter what, even more now because they just look ridiculous (i originally wanted a medium ashy brown and now they are ginger/blonde). I barely like my husband seeing them without my makeup applied. All of the pictures she has featured here look amazing, and the before and afters look awesome, but I definitely didn't get what I was hoping for. It still takes me 15-20 minutes to do my brows because I still spend time reshaping them (sometimes it's so frustrating because the tattoos can be hard to hide) and matching the color of one brow to the other. I followed all the instructions to a T. I've had tattoos since this (not eyebrows) and never had an issue. read more

Francesca takes her time to get the most natural look to frame your eyes. She is an artist that takes pride in her work and that's a great advantage to her customer. I kept searching her work and the work of others, to see before and after photos. Her work was the most consistently done for the most natural brow look. She may cost just slightly more than others, but I was willing to pay to get my brows done right. And she did not disappoint! And because she's so good at what she does, she trains others how to do proper eyebrows, eyeliner and lip shading. If you need your eyebrows tattooed, there is no better than Franciscan!
