Had my eyebrows done by Carmen last September and they still look fantastic. Carmen is an artist who intuitively knows and creates what is best for your face, complexion and lifestyle. Carmen was not the first time I had my eyebrows micro bladed/tattooed - and boy, do I wish I had come to her first. Would have saved me time and money for sure.

I reached out to Carmen for permanent eyebrow tattooing. After 40+ years of hair pulling and always having fully drawn eyebrows I had an opportunity to do this. I just wanted to be able to wash and go, rub my face, and facepalm occasionally at work (healthcare). She demonstrated exceptional patience navigating the color tone evaluation, building the shapes, and working with the ink retention in chronically traumatized skin. (It's a fascinating exercise in understanding wound care and skin healing!) It's also a meticulous and time consuming process and I'm glad I finally made time to do this for myself. I appreciated working with someone who was mindful of how nerve wracking it is to let a stranger tattoo your face! 3 sessions over 5 months for healing between and probably another touch up in a few more months for some trouble areas that still didn't quite hold the ink. I love a good facepalm Thanks Carmen! read more

Carmen is an amazing tattoo artist, trained to the highest degree in her field. She is also a caring and warm person who put my comfort first and foremost. She is precise in her work, not rushing to move onto the next appointment. Not only did I need to be satisfied, Carmen had to be satisfied. My first visit with Carmen was twenty-five years ago when I desperately needed help with my eyebrows. The best solution was permanent tattooing (microblading wasn't a known method). At the time I lived in the Bay Area. Traveling to Petaluma was a quick trip. As the years past I no longer lived in the Bay Area, I lost most of my eyebrow hair and the tattoo, as tattoos will do, faded. I searched in the areas where I lived but didn't ever feel totally comfortable about trusting another person to refresh my brows. I also discovered many would not touch previous work. Fast forward to present time. I moved back to California about two years ago and it was time to make an appointment to see Carmen. I was thrilled to find her. This time, though, I live in Sonora (with slight traffic it is a six hour round trip drive). Carmen is so worth the drive. I trusted she would give me the best eyebrows I could imagine. And she did! I am 73 years old. She modernized the look of my brows, working with the faded lines, giving me a more uplifting look (younger look) to my face and eye area. I couldn't be happier with the results. When I left Carmen, I felt beautiful. Thank you, Carman read more

Went to see Carmen for the first time today, (7-21-21) for skin cleansing. Neck and facial. Had been going to Sue Ellen at Body and Soul for over 30 years. Due to pandemic had to find new esthetician. I am certrainly fortunate to have found and tried Carmen. Her approach and care were excellent. I've already made an appointment for my back and chest in 2 weeks. Carmen is great. Had left a message for Sue Ellen 3 weeks ago to call and let me know when she'd be operating again. No response. I would have hoped that after 30 plus years a phone call would have been the courteous thing to do. Oh Well. Thank you Carmen for the great session today Alan Medina Petaluma read more

See all

Carmen is THE BEST!!! I have been looking into a permanent brow solution for years since I hardly have any brow hair and had to fully color them in every-single-day! When I first met her I immediately trusted her and her abilities. I can't explain how amazing it feels to be able to wake up with eyebrows...to go to the gym with no make up is life changing. She keeps you good and numb if you can't take the pain (which is minimal even if you don't require numbing). She takes her time and is a perfectionist! Love her and my eyebrows 6-26-17 Here is an amendment to my previous post! The picture below shows what I was left with when last seen by Carmen (top photo). The picture (bottom pic) is a picture of the artist who had to correct Carmens work...I spent nearly $1000 and 5 visits going to Carmen trying to get her to fix the problems with my permanent makeup (eyebrows). After feeling like she couldn't help me I went to someone else to correct it! I love my eyebrows now they are exactly how I want them...DO NOT GO TO CARMEN! She does horrible work! read more

I see Carmen for various beauty treatments and facial waxing. I recently noticed that my bows seemed to be getting a little sparse. Carmen recommended that I get Eyebrow Microblading. Carmen took the time to explain the procedure to me and shaded in my brows to give me an idea of how my brows would look like after the procedure. I was amazed with the end result as I had no idea how sexy my brows would turn out! My brows now stand out and frame my face beautifully! I am very picky how I like my brows shaped and Carmen keeps your wishes in mind as she artfully applies her knowledge to her work using natural looking hair strokes. She has an excellent bedside manner as she stops during the procedure to ensure that you are comfortable. Very reasonable in price too. I highly recommend Carmen and I'm not surprised to hear that her customers will travel from various Bay Area cities. Carmen works with Plastic Surgeons in the Bay Area as some patients have seen her after Breast Cancer and need a new Areola created. read more

Carmen is professional and a gifted tattoo artist. I am so thrilled with the results of my brows and eyeliner. It looks natural and well defined. I rose from her chair an improved version of myself. Carmen is also a kind, intelligent and compassionate woman! I feel fortunate to have spent several hours in her care and not only do I look and feel better, but Now I have a new dear friend read more

Carmen Morgan knows her stuff...she is an aesthetic & medical micro-pigmentation & microblading practitioner who also does clinical facials. My eyebrows had all but disappeared, I'm sure mainly due to age. In a two-step process, she worked her magic (and really, skills) and now they are back! Thank you, Carmen, for the great results! I will recommend you to anyone who wants facial treatments and especially microblading--you are the BEST! read more

I finally went down the rabbit hole of microblading my eyebrows and also permanent upper eye liner. I was referred to Carmen by a close friend of mine. Carmen is a perfectionist and I am so happy with my results. She takes her time and makes sure to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Last, not only is her work great but she is such a kind and warm person. Talking to her during the application makes the appointment that much more enjoyable. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

I was very nervous abut getting my brows done. I have a "thing" about brows. I wanted a natural look and Carmen nailed it! She put me at ease and I even went ahead and did liner above and below lashes. I love it and the best part about it, is that I don't have to put on make up anymore. Totally worth it and NOT uncomfortable to go through!!! read more

About six months ago I had permanent eyeliner done. After three very painful sessions it was still faded and too thin. Then I was referred to Carmen at Skin City. In one session she gave me the eyeliner I wanted, black and thick. It was also considerably less painful. She's very experienced and easy to work with. She explained every part of the procedure and was pleasant to chat with. Carmen is professional, knowledgeable and really knows her craft. I wholeheartedly recommend her! read more

I highly recommend Carmen Melo at Skin City for eyebrow tatooing- it's really not even a tattoo but tiny deposits of organic pigments under the skin that leaves you with beautiful natural eyebrows. I lost most of my eyelashes and eyebrows when I became ill with an autoimmune condition last year. I had to apply eyebrow pencil to feel confident. Now they look great all the time! Skin City is beautifully decorated and Carmen is professional and courteous. I'd recommend her services to my friends and family. read more

It has been at least a year since having my eyebrows, eyeliner and lips done. I didn't get quite what I asked for. Let me say first that I barely wear make up and wanted a natural look. I wanted microblading done on my eyebrows and Carmen told me I would be happier getting the color tattoo and then microblading after during a touch up session. During the touch up session, more tattoo was added to get a better shape. I asked to have the tattoo extended and done thicker in a couple of areas, and she said it would not be even to the other brow. That is a consideration, but our faces and features are not symmetrical. The end result is a dark thinner, harsh line that I need to add a softer brown to to make them a little thicker and less harsh. I still have to apply the same amount of makeup on my eyebrows each day. I wanted eyeliner to go to the outer edge of my eyelid and to get a little thicker at the end. Carmen only did the base of the lash line and wouldn't extend it further. I would not classify this as eyeliner. I am happy with how it looks, but would have liked more as I had asked. For some reason the browner colors did not take on my skin, so it is black, but Carmen tried twice, so that must just be my skin. I wanted a natural outline on my lips. I was happy with it at first, knowing that she starts out conservatively, and was hoping to get a more definition without a lip liner line showing. She said more would look unnatural and to leave it as it is if I want it to look natural. There is barely a difference on my lips from before I had any of this done. We had a lengthy consultation prior to the tattooing and I brought photos and came in with brow powder in to give an example of what I would like. I am not unhappy with what I have now, just did not get what I tried very hard to ask for and still have to apply makeup, so wasn't much of a value. read more

I wanted info on micro blading. I met with owner Carmen Mello. She was so nice and answered all my questions. I had previous tattooing on my brows at a different salon. I didn't like the color and my brows were uneven. She explained which procedures would remedy my situation. I was so happy with her work. My eyebrows are gorgeous. She even gave me arches. She micro bladed individual hairs that look like real hairs. I loved her work so much , I had my eyeliner done. It looks natural and made my eyelashes look fuller. The final procedure I had Carmen do was my lip liner. She made my lips look full and I don't really need lipstick. Before , I wouldn't leave the house without it. She made me look 10 years younger.I wish I had done this sooner. The salon is clean and professional. Carmen is a micro blading goddess. She made me feel beautiful and confident. read more

I just graduated from Carmen's brow course (permanent makeup) and I am so happy! Carmen is an eyebrow genius and I love how she takes the time to explain everything and answer all questions.

Carmen is a true artist- my brows look amazing! I had her tattoo them and they look so natural that my husband hasn't noticed I had them permanently done, and my friends are complementing me on how great they look. I really can't believe how she is able to get such a natural look, but she does. I started out on the conservative side but ended up going back twice to go a bit darker each time. I am so glad i did this, lips are next! Prior to Carmen I was spending way too much time trying to make them look even, trying to fill them in and getting them the same length and now I never have to do a thing except pluck the few strays that grow in. Her salon is so inviting, so comfortable and she is such terrific person. She takes her time and makes sure you are 100% happy. read more

Carmen is so kind and pleasant to chat with while she's working. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and that's why she yields such great results! read more
