In early 2016 I had my first session. The first time the wait was over an hour even though I had an appointment, I was bothered given my long drive to and from home and having to sit through traffic. During the process I realized it was more painful than a tattoo. The result after weeks of healing was horrible, very patchy and missing spots; and I followed the directions exactly on aftercare. I went a second time and they looked somewhat better but still very patchy. I went a third time with a different artist and she did a much better job. But after a year they faded to a red color. I wouldn't go back, given the price, the pain and the wait. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the second artist Jeanette seemed to do a much better job.

After looking around and following Sheila Bella on Instagram. I decided to call them when they had a special on the ombré brows. CJ did my brows and as you could see in the pictures the shape was horrible and my left brow was darker. I was really disappointed and upset. Decided to look around and to go somewhere else for the my touch up. Alison from Beauty and Brows in LA did a fantastic job. She took her time shaping them and making sure they look symmetric. I decided to wait and write a review after my work done at Beauty and Brows so that I could show the difference. Really bad experience here I will never recommend. Really disappointed. What a waist of my money. They have so many girls working there they only show good pictures.

Had an AMAZING experience with Shiela Bella at the Beverly Hills location. My eyebrow tech was Jen and she was so cute and friendly :) Her IG is in the picture! The whole process took about 2 1/2 hours. Signing papers and the procedure. My pain level was about a 4/10 and my eyebrows were sore only for about an hour after! So happy! I finally have eyebrows!

Waste of money. Not worth it!!! Completely ruined my brows. The blading they did was way above my actual brows so now it looks like I have two tails making my brow look way thicker than it actually is. so embarrassing

I was just so tired of "painting in" my eyebrows everyday! This is the best purchase I've ever made! It was a little painful but it's definitely better than getting a Brazilian wax!!! They apply a topical anesthetic a few times, it works pretty well. Definitely tolerable (I'm a big baby when it comes to pain!) The staff here are amazing! They are very personable and kind. They listen to what you want and take the time to make sure your brows are exactly how you will want them before proceeding (they draw them in first) The healing process is kinda long and parts of it are rough to get through but they go through every step in detail so that there are no surprises. They even made an adorable video about it that you watch on an iPad. I love his place! If you are interested in permanent makeup at all, or know someone who is, Sheila Bella is the place to go!!!!!

LONG REVIEW BUT READ BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO RUIN YOUR BROWS Overall 1 Price 4 Quality 0 Responsiveness 0 Punctuality 3 Professionalism 0 I had been following this business for awhile on social media, anyone who does will agree with me that the posts are amazing HOWEVER DO NOT BE FOOLED My experience: Called in to buy a deal that was advertised on Instagram for 399, was never told that a touchup Was not included. The day of: Walked in to a pretty salon; it was clean and pleasant, my picture was taken the numbing cream was applied. I had not plucked my brows I thought she would do it as I've seen it done on social media plus my friends who had done the procedure had their brows plucked thank god I don't really have much hair on my brows! I showed her a picture of other work done at Shila Bella and said that I wanted those exact brows; simple right? NO When we were done the color was very dark and my brows were so swollen that I could not see what was going on, not at all like the videos or pictures on Instagram (are they photoshopped/fake?) she insisted that I had to wait for it to heal. The nightmare starts: From day one everyone and I mean EVERYONE basically asked WHAT HAVE YOU DONE to your face??? Who did this?? The color initially looking off was not as big of a deal as the fact that I had two you read it right 2 ends on my brows! Let me try to explain this: the inner part which is by the inner corner of the eye was fine, the arch was crazy looking but that could be fixed, the end where the brow ended had two lines TWO LINES with an empty line in the middle as in she drew two separate brows! Now I have one brow that is ok on my right side and 2 brows on my left! Nightmare continues: Day 3, I call in, explain the situation and get the: Aha umm ok I don't understand let me take your name and number and have someone call you Day 5 No call, fine I'll go in (walked in with a friend) Receptionist: let me take your name and number down and she will call you (This is the second time I'm giving them name and number) Day 7 No call, I call back Receptionist: let me take your name and number down Me: No you will put me on the phone with someone ANYONE A MANAGER A TECHNICAL literally anyone will be fine Receptionist: (attitude) fine wait "The manager" after my explanation: T***a is not in why don't you contact her Me: ok how? All I have is her Instagram name! Manager: yes you can contact her on that Me:...ok?!! I contact her on Instagram after a few days she tells me wait t'll it heals and it'll be fine I say I understand but I now have two brows on one side She says wait Day 15 I call back to speak with a manager at this point it has healed and guess what? I have two lines of brows on one side and they are blue I asked for a warm brown Receptionist: let me take your name and number down Again I give it to her and explain that this is important Nothing for another 8 days I call back and at this point I said fine I will contact AMEX and have them stop the payment plus write a yelp review and take this to small claims court and hang up, within 5 min I get a call from a manager The sweetest lady calling me from studio city location apologizing and wanting me to explain which I did and she said I'll look in to it my self. That day I got a call from the manager at Beverly drive and my technician WHY DID I HAVE TO CALL AND YELL IN ORDER TO BE HEARD??? Smh I walk in 2 days later, my technician looks at them (all 3 of my brows) and says you wanted longer brows Me: yes I did but I did not want two brows on one eye! And they are square not sharp!! She says: well, the touchup will fix it Me how??? Are you erasing one line? Her: no I can't do that I'll fill it in Me: but that would make my brows really thick, no? Her: anything else will cost you so much money Me: what??? Why me? You ruined them why am I paying to fix it? Her: that's just how it works or you can put makeup over and wait t'll it fades, it eventually will... at some point, it is what it is we'll just fill them up Me: and the color which is blue'ish? Her: I'll make it warmer brown MORAL OF THE STORY they ruined my face/brows They take no responsibility what so ever for it and charged me 50$ deposit for a touchup appointment that will cost 200+ which I have no problem with I told her repeatedly that I understand the touchup process when it comes to color correction etc. BUT I HAVE TWO LINES OF BROW ON ONE SIDE which I now have to at all time put concealer over to hide and it looks hideous on pictures how is a touchup going to fix that? Well it won't and the solution is? Wait eventually it will fade and bother you less! Now if you still want to ruin your face at a place who takes zero responsibility with no costumer service, go ahead! I also have screenshots of all the conversations with the technician to prove this if anyone is interested I will also post pictures of my alien brows!

Appointment Date: 4/25/17 Tech: Klarissa My appointment took 3.5 hours. I was told the process could be 2-3hrs so I was prepared to be there for a while. -Parking: Garage down the street (they recommend you go there) 2 hrs free parking, because I arrived a little earlier I paid for 1hr and it was only $12. -Entering: Upon entry you are greeted and given forms to fill out, while you fill out forms the receptionist numbs your brows. -Time to go to the back: Once your called you meet your tech, they ask what is it that you would like your eyebrows to look like, I have some previously pictures of myself and mentioned I wanted them to look like at. So we began. -Outlining: Klarissa was very patient and very detailed about her lines and she wanted to make sure I was okay with it before proceeding. We did change it a bit and she made sure through the whole process I felt great about what I was about to get. Not once did she seem frustrated that I was picky about the size of them when correcting the shape. Once we got the outline done I signed off on it and we proceeded to the next phase. -Color: I brought the 2 shadows I was using to fill in my brows and wanted her to find something that matched them both. She choose 3 colors, dabbed a bit on my forehead and I brushed my own shadows over each to find the best color. With Klarissa's help I was able to find the color that best match what I was previously using. Now that we are done w/that I can sign off on it and we proceed w/the procedure. -Prepping of the brows: I have 2 tattoo's 1 w/color and 1 w/out. THIS process here (mind you I was numbed when I was filling out paperwork) this was the worst part of the whole experience. It literally felt like a meat tenderizer was pounding on my brows. I was given 2 stress balls (poor balls) but while she was prepping my brows she was also numbing them (again). -Let the process begin: Once that was over the actual process of cutting into my skin to create the hair-strokes didn't hurt, although I could hear my skin being carved into (I should have had my earphones on) once that was done, she applied the color along w/more numbing cream, I sat for about 15 mins to let the color sit. Then she went in for round 2, then once she was done, she applied the color again, sat for another 15 mins then we were officially done. -The Reveal: Once she removed the color from my brows she sat me up and handed me the mirror. WOW was all I can say. They looked great!! -GRAPE SEED OIL- they provide you w/some. I went out to buy a large bottle not knowing they provided some, and its enough for 2 weeks. My overall thoughts: My brows were sore, so, so sore and tight that day it was a bit painful, but beauty is pain!. The card they give you at the end of the session is very useful. I woke up the next day feeling just like the card said I would. Today I am on day 6 and they are starting to peel, I am leaving them alone but there are moments that they are very itch and all I can do is deal with it. I wanted to provide a detailed review because when I was looking for one, I didn't find one that gave me all the ups/downs on this procedure. I still have a week to go then I go back for my touch up towards the end of may. I will post an update then. I hope my review helps! Thanks again Klarissa you were so awesome and I have definitely referred you to my family and friends.

Review for "ombré" brows only. Booked an appointment in November when they were running a special for $389, I believe. I had been following them on Instagram for awhile and even though they didn't have before/afters of their ombré brows, I went ahead and booked an appointment thinking I'd be in good hands. Drove up at 5am from San Diego with my friend who also had an appt. Parking was easy at that hour. Check in was fine and everyone was friendly and accommodating. I went first and I admit it was pretty intense. I think the receptionist went a little light handed on my numbing cream, while my friend seemed to get a thicker application and said the process wasn't as bad. I absolutely loved the shape that was drawn on and even though it seemed dark after, I knew it would lighten. I called a few times and was told that ombré clients rarely need a touch up. The healing process was gross and uncomfortable. Big scabs formed and when they fell off (I didn't pick at it) it took off a lot my natural brows with it and virtually no color under. I sent a message to the technician who assured me this was normal and to message back once it was fully healed. Once fully healed my brows were very faint and a red/burgundy color. I once again reached out to the technician asking if this was normal and if it could be corrected with a touch up. I didn't want to go through the travel and healing process if it was only going to turn red again. This time I received a "I'll check what color you had" reply and then nothing after that. I understand this could be how my skin reacted. But my friend that went with me had the EXACT same results with her brows coming off with the scabs and red color. I had my brows done in November and now there's barely a trace. I was ready to do a touchup, but seeing how I never got a reply I don't see myself going back. $400+ after tip only to have a slight red color now. Ombré at your own risk. There's a reason they don't have any before/afters of it on their social media. Pictures are before, right after, during the healing process, fully healed and today. The lighting is different for each photo, but you get the idea. 2 stars for friendly staff, clean environment and nice shaping of the brows.

Thank you Klarissa for doing a great job with my brows. Went in 3/7/17 at the Beverly Hills location and I'm amazed at how well she was able to create the shape and thickness I wanted. What I really like the most about Klarissa is that she takes her time with you and will make any changes to meet your expectations. I, like many others (I assume) have followed Shiela Bella's IG page and read all the reviews on yelp for over a year now before I finally took the plunge to get my eyebrows micro bladed and let me just say, no regrets. I find it a bit painful but tolerable despite the numbing cream. I don't know how people can say they sleep through it because it feels pretty intense at the beginning. Was worried about the parking situation but it's a pretty safe place to park. They do take credit cards, thank god because I forgot to bring cash. It's been two days now and they are so dark and starting to scab just like the post care instructions say. The hardest part is waiting to see the final results. I'm super excited. Thank you and can't wait for the touch up.

After much thought and research I found this place and went through photos and knew this is where I would feel most confident to get my eyebrows done. Not only was I right but I was beyond thrilled to see the outcome of how my eyebrows transformed. It was only my first session and I fell in love. I couldn't be happier. The care, time and dedication these ladies have is bar none. People may say it's expensive and there are other places to get your eyebrows done but you get what you pay for and to me, I rather get it right the first time especially for my face. I can't thank Jennifer enough for the wonderful experience I had. She made me feel calm when I was nervous and at home. Thank you so much for allowing me the time I need to wake up and not have to worry about spending time with drawing on eyebrows everyday. You are incredibly gifted.

Soo excited to have Sheila do my brows. For years I've been learning new techniques to enhance my natural brow and all methods of course wash off as soon as you hit the pillow. I've wanted to get my brows done permanently for a while now and I could never find the artist with the right hand. After researching and seeing one of her clients in person I had to get on the waiting list for the Bella experience. Im Soo happy with my Brows. They look alot better than I anticipated .

I got my brows done at Sheila Bella's permanent makeup because the day I called the receptionist gave me so much detailed information that other places did even bother to explain the whole process to me! I love makeup but, I do not love to apply it everyday. Plus I'm a high believer that brows do frame your face and I wanted them to look very natural and fuller. The day of my procedure I was nervous but more anxious to see the final results the studio in Beverly Hills is super cute, modern and very clean. The staff are very friendly from the minute I walked in to the minute I walked out. I had the pleasure to have Sheila do my brows and she even gave me her person opinion, I trusted her judgment since she sees different brows on a daily. I left very satisfied with the color, shape, and style, I went to work the very next day with new beautiful brows. If your looking to get your brows done professionally I would recommend you to visit SHEILA BELLA! I had to come back to get my eyeliner done by Tamra. She is so sweet and very considerate since I wasn't sure what style I was really going for. It was quick and I didn't feel a thing. I healed better then what I though I would.I am very satisfied with the outcome very natural and settle. I can't wait to go back for my touchup. Thanks Tamra for the amazing.
