Happy client. Had my brows done elsewhere many years ago. Vicki had to cover them up, reshape and make them even. Her touch is effortless. I just had them retouched. I am so thrilled and happy with them. Do your research before you let someone ink your face. I recommend a couple of people and they are all happy. Vicki #browqueen. read more

So I've been holding back on doing a review since Oct 2023. I was a student for brows. Tbh i felt like Vikki didn't teach me or my group proper microblading. We practiced on latex but she didn't help us like she should , as a teacher. she was more concerned on taking videos next to us to show that she was helping when she wasn't. Her classes are not detailed and she doesn't take the time to really do hands on her students. On model day she literally did 90% of the work on my model because obviously we weren't trained correctly. I felt like she just wanted to take our money and just read off the book and draw strokes on the board but she's not a good teacher, she's a great brow artist but as far as a teacher NO. This was my experience. In her class she says we are welcome to shadow and use her stations after we graduate. I had a client and needed assistance, she did not guide me or help me. I felt lost, i had requested help which is an added fee but she left me hanging. She only charged me the station fee because she knew she didn't help me. I booked a client and told her the date and time. I showed up to her salon and it was closed. My client waited 30 min with me outside and then we decided to leave. Vikki didn't reply to my message until 2 hours later. My client never booked with me again and i had to give her deposit back. If you plan on going to school for brows don't come here. Vikki created a chat on wattsap for student support but she literally never replies or replies days later. There's no support after you take her courses. I feel bad writing this but i felt robbed by her i paid $2500 , definitely not worth it. I'm taking another course with an amazing teacher that actually cares about her students success and not the money she'll get from every student. read more

The owner Vicki is amazing and does the best brows. Her team is helpful and answer all questions. I went in not sure of how much I wanted and we went with only micro blading to make sure I liked the result. I love it so much that we did light shading my second touch up. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I've done quite a lot of research and seen a lot of brow pages on IG. I was also hesitant since I've seen so many bad jobs but after seeing the result of my friends beautiful brows, I decided that it was time. I came in and her assistant helped numb my brows for about 30 mins. I was giving a consent form and client info sheet. Then Vicki asked me if I have pictures of brows I like and she was discussing about shape and color. She also show me samples and suggest what was best for me. Ultimately I made my choice. I'm not sure about the negative comment. I can tell Vicki is a busy person. but at the same time i felt that was was very professional and she knows exactly what she's doing. I also appreciate that fast as I do not have too much time. I went with what she suggested and couldn't be happier. I love love love my brows and I wish I had done them sooner. I highly recommend Vicki. read more

(Using my Hubbys account ) The first time I went to Vicky was in June 2018 , she did a amazing job on my brows she did exactly what I was looking for and made me feel welcome I went again this year and did a amazing job again she is very talented on what she does , so thankful I went to her now I'm able to sleep in since I don't have to worry about my eyebrow . I will keep going to her love her work . The salon is so nicely decorated all clean . I just wish I would of gone with her sooner . read more

The Brows Academy - Brows Academy. Loving my new Brows - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I was very nervous going in to get brows done. I had previously gone to another place I waited six months for and I actually walked out. I had this uncomfortable feeling lost my deposit. You know if you have a gut feeling go with it so I did. Then my son's girlfriends mother got hers done by Vicki and she did a great job, so I researched and seen reviews months before I actually made appointment. I went and that was the best choice. I always write reviews so I waited. Its been a couple weeks and I love my brows. She wasn't very talkative but very professional and I love her work. Thinking of getting eyeliner done next. She will be my go to. read more

Bri is a pro. I went in for my year touch up and I she made it a point to be sure she knew exactly how I wanted my brows to look. They're still in the healing process but I'm loving my shape. Bri is friendly and has a soft touch. I wasn't in any pain. I would definitely recommend her and will be returning for future touch ups. read more

I got my brows micro-bladed and was overall satisfied after they were done. My reason for not giving 5 stars is because Vicky is unwilling to accommodate anyone's schedule. She will only do weekdays for people who have already paid and need to be touched up. Well unlucky for me I work full time Monday through Friday. Her weekends consist of brow academy classes which I understand to an extent. But unfortunately, I'll have to find a new microblading establishment who isn't basically gonna tell me Monday through Friday only or too bad basically. read more

BRI IS AMAZING! let me tell you I'll never go to anyone else. I've been with her for a few years and she snatches me up every time! my brows are incredible and I can never stop looking at them. she is a master of the eyebrow industry!! she recently did my combo brows and they look SO GOOD. compliments everywhere I go and I still am in shock everytime that these are my eyebrows haha she is so detailed, personable, timely, and her work is 10/10. I make trips from hawai'i just to get them so you know im serious!! read more

First off I have to say all the girls here are amazing artists! I had the pleasure of having Sabrina work on my eyebrows and eyeliner, and she did such an incredible job my brows look so natural and my eyeliner is so clean and perfect! Highly recommended! read more

Vicki is the queen of brows! Anyone that is interested in permanent makeup such as eyebrows, lips or eyeliner The Brows Academy is the best place to go. I have been seeing Vicki (the owner) for Ombre eyebrows for a few years now and love the results every single time. She is an incredible artist, and I receive tons of compliments on my brows all the time. Her location is easy to find and beautiful, just like her team. Everyone that works there is very friendly and make hanging out there lots of fun! I highly recommend The Brows Academy. read more

Let me start by saying, Vicki is an artist. I dont understand the negative review. She's very sweet and 100% knows what she's doing and she's very fast. I had so much pain from another artist for taking too long. I was so happy Vicki was able to fix my brows. I've been coming to vicki for years now and will not trust anyone else to touch my brows. I can tell she is a pro comparing with experiences to really appreciate her artistry. I came in so nervous and she basically took over and asked me what style, shape and if I have a picture of a brow I like. She then discussed about style that's best for my skin and best to cover up what I had. I ultimately chose the combo brows and I can not be anymore happy. Not only vicki fixed my shape, she fixed my color. I was already so happy with how they healed after 1 session, I'm now even more happy after the 2nd session. I highly recommend Vicki. read more

I was a model recently and I am truly grateful to have stumbled upon Vicki and her students at The Brow Academy. I am a pretty anxious person by nature but felt so comfortable with the environment and procedure. I was so comfortable that there were a few moments where I almost fell asleep . For those of you who are concerned about getting your brows done due to COVID-19, the facility follows all of the preventative measures and is extremely clean. During my appointment, I noticed that Vicki really made sure to teach all of her students everything they need to succeed as entrepreneurs -- demonstrations for proper placement of things, constructive criticism with technique and application, customer service suggestions to make sure that each model was comfortable and happy during their visit, and so on. These seem like basic things but it really did make me feel more at ease about everything happening to my face. Before my appointment, Vicki said that I would leave with beautiful brows and I couldn't agree more. Even though my brows are still kind of in the crusty phase, I'm happy with my results! I highly recommend this place! read more

Vicki is amazing at what she does!! I typically research for years before I do anything to my face. For example, I was always afraid of any kind of cosmetic procedures, lips, botox, eye brows etc. After all, this is your face, and very important to choose the right person, and not at a discount to save money. After a year and a half or 2 years of just browsing eyebrows, I thought I had chosen someone. So I kept viewing this other woman's photos and saving them for another year but didn't take the jump. THEN, I came across Vicki's page somehow and I am glad that I was patient! WOW! At first, I thought these brows are TOO perfect, but after doing my research, there was NO ONE who was as good as her. Once I booked my appointment and met with Vicki, she explained that the fine strokes eventually widen as they sink into the skin so they don't always look like perfect lines after healing, which I liked. But still, looked exactly like hair. I LOVED them and sent over everyone I knew who asked. This literally took 30 minutes out of my morning routine. They get very dark after healing and depending on how they heal and your skin, they start to flake and scab. NATURAL PROCESS. I now go every 6 months to keep them fresh and I love them! I have seen some REALLLYYYYY bad brows from people just starting out. No thanks! I will pay for someone who is a perfectionist and I love Vicki, inside and out! read more

The Brows Academy - Before and after !!!! - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I've seen sooo many women with ombré brows, micro blading and powder brows but never have I seen such a great set of brows until a few weeks ago. I asked my coworker where she got them done and she said, The Brow Academy. I immediately asked her for name of the person who did hers, and she told me Jeannie. I made an appt that same day and just got them done this past Friday. They are PERFECT!!! I absolutely love them!!! Jeannie was so nice and patient. She took her time to show me the various options as well as color swatches which she applied on my forehead so I could pick the best color for my skin town. I love them and willl never go elsewhere! read more

I've been going to Vicki for about 3 years now for microblading! It makes such a difference for me and I only trust Vicki due to previous bad jobs: :) read more

I searched long and hard for Microblading training and am very happy I chose Vicki at The Brows Academy. The training is quick but the ongoing support Vicki offers after the training is over is what I appreciate most. She is super motivating, encouraging and honest. I also had my brows done by her of course and I love them! Thanks Vicki!! read more

The Brows Academy....Beautiful, talented, creative & artistic women under one roof. They all do such an amazing job. Whether it be brows, lips or eyeliner. This is definitely where you wanna get beautified!!! read more

LOVE my micro-bladed brows by Vicki! I naturally have a full dark brows but my struggle was that they were asymmetrical and I couldn't get them to look even. Vicki make them symmetrical and made my strokes sparse to fill in the areas with less hair. I love that she is a perfectionist and sees all the imperfections I see. The best part is it now takes me literally 10 minutes to put on make up! Thank you so much Vicki for my perfect brows! read more

I was actually shocked to see some of the reviews here because Vicki is 5 stars + by a long shot. I have been a brow model before many years ago and so I know how that process works and have realistic expectations. The instructor supervises and does the initial work then the student traces. Point is, it may not come out perfect the first time if you sign up to be a model. That is why you are paying a reduced rate, duh! If you are a perfectionist, hire Vicki directly and pay the higher rate. I had a student do my initial brows and she did an excellent job under Vicki's supervision. Sure, I had to wait a bit but I expected that because she was training them and overall it was a fun experience! I had Vicki do my touchup since I wanted eyeliner in addition and I couldn't be happier with the results! I have been to a couple brow artists and seen so many of the top brow artists in LA, San Diego, and on the east coast and in my humble opinion, Vicki is one of the best! She has an incredible eye for symmetry, details, and creating a nice shape that is customized to the client's taste. My eyebrows were so assymetric and jacked to be quite honest and she made them beautiful somehow. I would recommend her to my mom, my sister, my best friend. And that says something in my opinion. read more

Just leaving this here... us guys need a touch up too. You know who you are! Made an appointment and have been going ever since for touch-ups. Vicki and her team is fantastic :) I really had no idea there's so much thought that goes into things like color matching, strokes and shapes. I'm glad I came here because you really need an artist who cares about the details. Thank u, microneedling next! read more

The most unprofessional "service" people I have ever dealt with. VickI is extremely unprofessional, stuck up and honestly rude. Horrible attitude/ personality. I literally did not even go back for my touch up because she was so unpleasant to be around and her work is just OK. NOTHING special. I asked for natural eyebrows and instead I got a completely filled in make up look. STAY AWAY. read more

I love this place.My experience was amazing.When in With hardly no brows came out with gorgeous brows .. Maria Ruiz explain the whole procedure was very professional and did an amazing job I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is interested in getting work done on their brows.. thanks Maria&Vicki read more

Absolutely love Vicki! I have been a loyal client for 3 years. I get tons of compliments on how well shaped my brows are, people are always shocked to learn that they are micro-bladed because they look so incredibly natural. read more

Vicky is very professional and does what she promises. I initially went for a bb glow as a model to see the place and make a final decision to do my brows here. I checked many artist IG accounts and by far Vickie's work is THE BEST. She made sure I was happy with my design before I committed to it. No photo cause I am still healing but will update when I see final results!!! read more

If you are looking to get Microblading I highly recommend coming here! I am thrilled I've found Vicki to give me these amazing cover up brows! I had my eyebrows done years ago and the pigments faded to orange. It took me a while to go get them redone because of the experience I had but Vicki is so talented and quick it amazes me to see how consistent her work is. This is a life changing experience you must come check for yourself! read more

Back for a touch up! This us my 3rd year back to the brows academy. Vicki is the best at her craft. The work she has done on my brows are impeccable. She gave me exactly what I wanted. She gave me a Natural shape and color that reshaped my face. I highly recommend anyone needing the prefect eyebrow for both men and women. read more

Vicki is the best and would never go anywhere else for microblading! She is great and a perfectionist. Would not trust anyone else with a blade on my face. I get compliments all the time and she has done several of my friends brows. Exceptional work and only the best artist! read more

Vicki the owner does an AMAZING job!!! She did microblading to my eyebrows and they look better than they ever have - even when I was younger and had more eyebrow hair. Her technique is truly perfect - the microblading turned out to look just like hairs not tattoo which definitely looks better. She was able to make "hairs" where I had none and was able to cover up an old eyebrow tattoo job that was years old and not microblading. Now my eyebrows look like hairs and not tattoo which looks natural. I was so happy with her work that I had her also do my eyeliner tattoo both top and bottom. I've seriously never looked better - especially just waking up and looking like I've got eyes and eyebrows :-) I would definitely recommend going to Vicki if you are contemplating getting microblading or eyeliner tattooing done. She is an expert. read more

Vicki microbladed my brows recently and I just had to share my experience! She is truly a gifted artist when it comes to brows. Her work on Instagram is consistent and you can see that she really knows what she's doing. None of her work (including my brows) look fake or like thick lines where it's noticeable that they're not real hairs. She gets into the fine details I noticed and does the most realistic brows, whether they are micro blade, or shaded. I feel so grateful I found a wonderful artist but also a very caring business owner! I own a salon as well and Vicki really takes care of her staff and girls she trains. I've met a few who attended her academy and they all adore her and she really helps them with their careers. All in all she's an amazing artist and business woman and I'm happy to refer lots of girls for epic brows her way! Thanks Vicki! Your awesome! read more

Vicki is the absolute best! Been going to her to get microblading/shading for the past 2 years now. Every time I get absolutely perfect results and I couldn't be happier. I don't trust anyone else with my brows now and I save so much time in the morning because I now get to wake up every day with perfect brows! Thanks Vicki!!! read more

I resisted getting microblading for my eyebrows for a couple of years for fear of the pain. When I met Vicki, she assured me that she has a special numbing cream and that it wouldn't hurt at all. She was correct! The pain was very minor. I am so glad that I decided to have Vicki do my eyebrows. I hardly had any hair on my eyebrows. Now, with my new eyebrows, I look and feel younger. Vicki did a great job and they look very natural. I highly recommed her artistic work. Her facility is beautiful and comfortable with plenty of parking. Thank you Vicki for changing my life! read more

Just a wonderful experience. I remember I was so nervous about getting my eyebrows microbladded for the first time in March but Vicki and her amazing staff welcomed me with open arms. As soon as I walked in there the nerves were automatically gone. The place is not only beautiful but extremely clean! Vicki is so kind and genuine super profesional and I love the attention to detail she puts into her work. You can tell how passionate she is about her work, and I love that about her. I am truly in love with my eyebrows she has changed my life forever. Just yesterday I was there getting my first touch up and my experience was just at great as the first time. I will continue to go back to Vicki at The Brows Academy forever I refuse to let anyone else touch my eyebrows! THANK YOU SO MUCH VICKI AND STAFF, you all are AMAZING!!! If you're looking to book a microbladding appt look no further!! This is really the place to go!! read more

Love my new brows! I was a model during Vicki's last Class and I was so pleased with her students work. She was professional and knowledgeable. I received the combo brows which is a mix of ombré shadowing and Microbalding. I can't wait to go back for my touch up on a few weeks. read more

I was a model on 8/18 sad to say my eyebrows are uneven and discolored. I sent Vicki a text she never replied. I reached out to her again she replied I asked her about my touch up and she said I had to pay. Her student told me that I get one FREE touch up. The student that did my eyebrows is from the Bay Area so of course I asked her who will be doing my touch up? Vicki was standing next to her as she said Vicki. Not once did Vicki say oh by the way it's $125 if I do them. If you want your eyebrows done the right way please don't go to this academy as a model. Pay full price remember it's your face they are messing with. Now praying my eyebrows fade-away fast so I can go to someone that is a professional. Btw I found out the hard way that the classes that are held there are not long at ALL so the students don't have experience. You get what you pay for lesson learned. Sorry miss Vicki you were not busy that day. You were actually trying to fine the perfect headline for an eyebrow picture with another student laughing and all. Like I said don't go to this academy unless you want jacked up eyebrows. Sad to say your the owner and can't take criticism for shit not everyone has a perfect business get over it. Like you said you don't like Yelp so don't take time out of your busy schedule to reply. Why would I let another student work on me girl your first student jacked up my eyebrows. And there's not way I'm paying another dime to your company to fix my eyebrows. Your a joke!!! read more
