I feel like a new person after Sarah worked her magic! I have alopecia and have lost all my eyebrows and eyelashes. Finally I got my courage up to try microblading. I researched and researched and was fortunate enough to have chosen Sarah. I sent some kind of online inquiry and Sarah called me personally immediately. Sarah talked to me and educated me on what she could do. Sarah was so knowledgeable and honest and told me that some alopecia patients reject the ink. She scheduled me and devoted hours to her art which was creating eyebrows on a blank face. When I met Sarah, I was so happy. Her personality is outgoing, funny, honest and that's on top of her beautiful aura. She spent so much time studying my face and making sure the eyebrows would be evenly placed. You could see how serious she took this undertaking by the focus she spent on the preparation in framing the eyebrows. Then she went to work on the actual microblading. Sarah made sure I was comfortable with the topical ointment for pain so basically there's no pain. We chatted off and on and it felt like I was with a friend-didn't have to fill every void with idle chatter. I loved them immediately but they just get better and better as I get used to having eyebrows. It's life altering to me personally to wake up with eyebrows or to touch my face and not wipe them off when I had to pencil them in. Sarah checked on me throughout the procedure and numerous times afterwards. How many would expect that? I did not. I am beyond pleased and grateful for the professionalism and talent that Sarah shares so generously with her clients. I feel so fortunate to have met Sarah. I took pictures and sent them to my family and they could not believe how realistic they look. There's dimension without actual dimension. Sarah is a genius with a huge heart and talent. Thank you Sarah and I completely trust your artistry. I completely enjoyed getting to know you. Sarah, you are a smart, talented, strong and beautiful woman! read more

I've always had sparse brows and it took me awhile to figure out how much brows can do for someone's face! I would spend so much time in the morning drawing mine in but it never quite looked right. After A LOT of research, Sarah was highly recommend, so I reached out to her and booked ab appointment. She was very open to hearing exactly what I wanted for my brows. Sarah made me feel 100% comfortable from the second I walked in. She explained step by step instructions on what she would be doing which I loved. Because I saw her previous work, I knew how skilled and talented she was, so I left a lot of the design up to her and I could honestly not be happier about the finished product!

Sarah is really the best, not just because she is hilarious, and not just because she can give a fast and virtually pain free wax. She's thorough and reasonable, and an appointment with her feels like a fun outing instead of a chore. After a horrible experience elsewhere, I was nervous to try again. But you're in good hands with Sarah. Not only do I have ZERO complaints, she really blew me away with the best waxing experience I've ever had. read more

I have been going to Sarah for 4 YEARS for waxing, because she is the BEST there is! Then one day, I decided to get my eyebrows microbladed, but I wanted something very natural (its called powdering, its a bit different than microblading; I highly recommend it!). She gave me the best input and did them so well! She gives a ton of attention to detail and knew EXACTLY what I wanted. Even after the procedure, she reached out to me to make sure my eyebrows were healing properly. My face looks complete now and she has helped me feel more confident. She is THE BEST! I 100% recommend her for microblading! read more

Sarah is incredibly talented! She corrected my first microblading procedure that was done in late May by another artist. One thing I love so much about Sarah is her passion and persistence. She has invested SO much in perfecting her skill set. It really shows through her work! She's truly mastered her talent and was born to do this! She's beautiful, funny, smart and insanely good at what she does! I would highly recommend her for microblading. She's no joke! I'm one week post and I can't wait for my touch up! Thank you Sarah, you're truly a gem read more

Sarah is an artist and takes pride in her skills and results. Have no fear of a botched job! read more

These eyebrows are a game changer! I had my initial microblading appointment with Sarah at the end of October with a follow-up in mid-December. Sarah is an artist!! She took the time to understand what I wanted and then went to work. I had my brows microbladed a few years ago so I knew what to expect. Sarah's "craft" exceeded my expectations!! Her services are reasonably priced, there was far less pain than my previous round AND chatting with her was super enjoyable. I look forward to getting additional services done and would (and have/do) recommend her to any of my closest friends and family. read more

Sarah is the ONLY one to see for microblading!! I am speechless - my eyebrows are so perfect that I can't believe I didn't do this years ago. I had messaged her my concerns about being a fair-skinned redhead and was worried they would look unnatural but she quickly reassured me and scheduled me to come in. I was blown away with Sarah's professionalism and ability to make me feel 100% comfortable the whole appointment. My eyebrows came out PERFECT and she is so sweet - I already can't wait to go back for the touchup! Thank you Sarah!!!! read more

Skin By Sarah - These are the brows she did on my mom! The results were unreal and she was so pleased - Waxing Near Me - Encinitas, California

Sarah is THE micro blading master!! My eyebrows turned out so beautiful and natural looking, I get so many compliments for them!! I was concerned it wouldn't look natural due to my light features and not crazy much eyebrow hair, but even without make up on you cannot tell that something was done. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is so good at what she does! We choose the color together and she took time to explain everything in detail. She takes pride in what she does and wants the best results possible. It didn't hurt that bad and the color stayed on for a pretty long time after the first session. I did my follow up about 11 weeks after the first appointment and she only had to do a little touch up. Don't waste your time on looking for anyone else and go see her! read more

I have to say that I have always being self-conscious about my eyebrows because I barely have any I used to never go out without having my brows done with makeup but I was until I decided to do micro blading with Sarah. I was very hesitant at first but she made feel comfortable with her professionalism, patience and furthermore with the way that she engaged me in the process, she put a lot of emphasis that my brows look the way I want them to look, she listen to her clients but also give her opinion in not condescending way. Now I can got out without having to spend half an hour in the mirror, the job that Sarah did literally changes my life. Thanks you Sarah. read more

Sarah is great! I just went back for my year after touch up and she was so friendly and professional! The way my microblading held after a year was honestly incredible as well! I felt like I didn't even need a touch up yet, but went in to keep maintaining how well they look! I get compliments on my eyebrows all the time, and people don't believe me when I tell them that they are micro blades until they come up close to my face! I recommend Sarah to everyone who is considering microblading! She may be a bit on the pricier side, but completely worth it because of the quality. read more

My first visit with Sarah will definitely not be my last. I had an exceptional facial! I thought that the extraction process was a lot less painful--actually not painful at all--compared to other facials I have had. I really liked the products she used, and she is an exceptional conversationalist. I would definitely recommend her for your skin care needs. read more

Sarah is a professional and is a talented artist that does amazing microblading work. I had my brows done and she took time and care and they turned out perfect! Thank you Sarah! read more

My experience doing the brazillian wax at Skin by Sarah was wonderful. Very friendly and kind, Sarah made everything as comfortable as possible, very efficient, quick and painless (yes, painless I'm serious!!!). Also, the place is very clean and organized. I would highly recommend her. My expectations were blown away! read more

Sarah is truly a gifted artist! I am thrilled with my eyebrows! Thank you, Sarah, for helping me regain the eyebrows I erroneously tweezed to oblivion when I was younger. I followed your post-microblading instructions and I am so pleased that my eyebrows continue to look full, natural, and healthy. Muito obrigada!! read more

I bought a groupon Brazilian after reading the reviews. It was my 1st and I was very nervous. Sarah is a true professional and chatted my ear off the entire time to keep me from thinking about it to much. Before I knew it was over and out the door. She also explained to me how the hair will soften after coming back if you continue to wax and not shave. And she was right, after the 3rd and 4th time it kept getting better. A plus is she text messages to remind you of your appt. 24 hours before. read more

You can't go wrong with getting a brazilian by a Brazilian! Sarah is inceredibly sweet, easy going, and makes the entire process so (relatively speaking) pleasant. She's quick and thorough - she took extra time to literally tweeze any little stray and was still finished in 35 mins. The place is cute and clean, and if you pre-book for your next brazilian she only charges $35!! I have been to over 15 different waxing spas for this service, and I can't speak highly enough of this girl. Don't waste your money on $75 wax. FYI: She prefers cash, she moved from Phenix Salon Suites and is now at 1991 Village Park Way in the center across from the 7/11 ...Your husband/partner will thank you and Sarah! read more

Sarah is so sweet and personable she makes you feel so comfortable and is absolutely incredible at what she does. I got my eyebrows microbladed by her and it was the best decision I ever made! I don't have to fill in my eyebrows anymore because she made them so full with such a great shape while still looking natural. 100% recommend going to Sarah! read more

Skin By Sarah - Here is a before and after of my eyebrows - Waxing Near Me - Encinitas, California

Simply wow. Sarah is amazing, a true artist . She has really perfected her craft. I LOVE my eyebrows. From the very beginning she was professional, informative and concise about expectations, answering any questions I might have had. Her honesty and confidence made me feel incredibly comfortable. Her work is meticulous and efficient, and the workspace is incredible clean and hygienic. I discovered Sarah by meeting a woman who had stunning brows and having to ask where she got them done ! This is by far the best act of self care I have ever done . I am a mom of a 1,2,and 3 year old ( crazy right?!) , but along with sleep and everything else I never have much time to put on my make up - with my brows done I feel like my face is framed and I wake up way more presentable. Sarah is not only skilled at her profession , but she is also one of the kindest and charismatic people I've met. Thanks Sarah for spreading your beauty , inside and out ! read more

Sarah is so sweet and pays careful attention to all the details. She makes sure she knows what's important to you and what you're looking for. I had such a relaxing facial and the best neck and back massage ever! My skin felt wonderful and I was so relaxed! I highly recommend Sarah! read more

Sarah was so awesome in every aspect of my procedure. After researching the micro blading procedure, I was referred to Sarah by a friend who had found her on Instagram. The consultation was great, Sarah was friendly and very energetic. We worked through my wishes and needs very thoroughly. At the appointment to do the micro blading treatment, Sarah was very efficient and listened to all and any concerns, questions and changes I had. I could not be more happy with my brows!!!!! They look amazing. She is very precise with the aftercare and following her instructions, my brows are beautiful. I highly recommend Skin by Sarah. read more

Sarah McGarry is a miracle worker!! After years of over plucking, my brows were pretty much nonexistent. After meeting and discussing my preferred style and shape, Sarah was able to create brows that were so realistic that even my closest friends and family thought I had regrown hair! Sarah made me feel incredibly comfortable and had me laughing through the whole procedure. The experience was warm, friendly and minimal pain was involved. I will be going to Skin by Sarah for all of my permanent make up and skin needs from now on! read more

Skin By Sarah - Waxing Near Me - Encinitas, California

I can't believe I haven't posted a review for Sarah yet! Sarah's great! She's super sweet and just a doll. I've had Brazilian waxing before, so I wasn't nervous, but it's always awkward when you go to a new esthetician. Sarah was friendly and didn't make things awkward at all. She even joked around about how she's seen my you-know-what now, so there's not much else to worry about! She's really accommodating to schedules, especially now that she's in her new location. The new location was a bit tricky to find at first, but just head to the back building and enter through the lobby under the American flag. Tell the girl at the front desk you're there to see Skin by Sarah. It's a pretty outdated building, but Sarah's done a nice job making sure her space is pretty and calming. Give Sarah a try! She's pretty quick but doesn't sacrifice precision and quality. Plus, as others have mentioned, you can't go wrong with a Brazilian wax done by a Brazilian! read more

Sarah is hands down ahhhhamzing !!!! She def mastered my brows !!! I had really thin brows that I always had to draw in and they just never looked right . She takes the time to look at the "shape " of your face and will match your eyebrows spot on ... very very natural as well ! Love that I can wake up in the morning and have the most perfect brows definitely the most professional and best Microblade specialist ever !!!!! read more

Skin By Sarah - Waxing Near Me - Encinitas, California

First off... Sarah is a total sweet heart. She makes you feel super comfortable right off the bat. She laid out the entire process for me and made sure all my questions were answered. Now for the results... absolutely amazing. She listened to what I wanted and totally worked with me to give me the eyebrows I always wanted. She checked in the following day to make sure everything was going well and all I can say is YES! I love them!!! read more

Sarah is a magician. She's incredibly talented, and I couldn't be happier with my brows. I thoroughly researched microblading artists in the area and went with Sarah based on her favorable reviews. She surpassed my expectations in every way. Before we began she explained the process and do's/dont's so I knew exactly what to expect before, during and after my appt. in addition, she's super sweet and so personable. One tip I can offer is to TRUST HER. She will pencil in your brows before she does the actual procedure. Your brows will not look that thick or harsh once completed. In addition your brows will thin out once they heal. She has a great eye and will shape your brows beautifully. Just trust her. She's amazing and thanks to her so are my brows! read more

Sarah is professional, passionate, and knowledgeable. She matches her brows to coloring and face shape to make them look very natural and beautiful. read more

I found Skin by Sarah on Yelp and after reading the reviews I just knew I had to have my microblading done by Sarah. I had my brows micro bladed in Florida almost 4 years ago and I was pleased with the transformation from my funky shaped brows then but after today I am even more blown away! Sarah looked at my before picture, never criticized my previous brow gal'd work but just mentioned she would take on my brows because she was confident she could improve from where I was. She was so right! I trusted her immediately from the moment we met. First her brows are gorgeous and Sarah was so welcoming and forthcoming that I knew I'd made the right decision. Sarah took the time to discuss the process even though I'd had microblading done before but it had been a moment and I appreciated her honesty and enthusiasm for what could be done. When she took the time to do the penciling and I watched her concentrate and look many times over to make sure it was the right shape and arch I couldn't wait to see in the mirror. I can tell you I was not disappointed. From there it was easy sailing. She took her time and I Ioved when she said she was a perfectionist and wanted to make sure it was just right and went back to make sure they were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better professional! The end result was amazing!! I went to dinner with my husband and even he couldn't help but comment over and over how nice my brows looked. As Sarah said the eyes are the window to your soul but your eyebrows make your face. She is so right! I can't wait for my friends and family to see the end result. I feel younger, more confident and know they will only look better and better which is hard to comprehend because I'm in love with them today. Thank you Sarah for what a fantastic job you do and the passion in which you do it! I would recommend Sarah over and over to anyone who asks. read more

I've been trying different waxing salons through Groupon/Living Social, Amazon Local, etc. and I'm so happy that I finally found the right one. Sarah is so accommodating, very detail-oriented and takes the time to explain everything. I moved here from the Bay Area and I'm just glad that I can now go to someone on a regular basis. She does a fantastic job - actually better than my previous waxing salon in the Bay Area :) read more

Sarah is so great! I absolutely adore her! I found her several months ago via YELP reviews and am so glad that I shared the same experience as many others. I used to live in LA and had a girl that I regularly went to for a bikini wax, but since I've made the move down to San Diego 6 years ago I've had the hardest time finding someone else I like. Until I went to Sarah. Anyone who tells you a bikini wax is painless is full of it, but Sarah is really quick and makes the experience as pleasant as possible. She is so sweet and so friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

Sarah is the best. My brows were soooo straight with no arch or shape at all when I went to her. I could never get them to look how I wanted them to with waxing, make up, etc. I decided to do micro blading and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My new brows lift my entire eye area and changed my whole face. I love my new brows!! And added bonus- Sarah is so great and personable. She truly cares and goes the extra mile to make sure the quality is there. Thank you Sarah!! read more
