After 6-7 years, I finally made my way back to Vanity Brows on Almaden Expressway -- and it felt like no time had passed at all. Van is an absolute gem. She takes her time, truly cares about her craft, and works until your look is just right. My brows have never looked better! I came back to see her specifically before my upcoming cancer treatment, and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease -- exactly what I needed. The salon is clean, welcoming, and parking is a breeze with the free lot out front. If you're looking for someone who genuinely invests in you and your look, go see Van. I'm So happy with my brows! read more

I've been going to Van at Vanity Brows for six years now and love it here. I get the microblading and Van makes it look so natural. If you're afraid of the pain, I normally nap through the process so don't be scared and try it! It's definitely life changing when you have one less thing to do in the morning. The place is very calming and peaceful. read more

Wow the hype is real... Van is incredible! I did the nano strokes technique. She's not only extremely technically talented, but also soooo meticulous. What I appreciate is how much time she spends measuring and plotting out my eyebrows. Then she executes with great precision. On top of that, Van is also so kind and generous with her time. The planning part is so important and I feel like other artists totally overlook it. The place I went to before (also a famous artist) only spent like 10 mins on the planning, and I ended up with one brow higher than the other for years. Funny thing is I didn't even notice that... until Van pointed it out, then I can't unsee it. She has sharp eyes and that's what you need for perfect eyebrows! read more

I came here for Nano Brows and they came out awesome.  I can't remember the last time that I loved my brows this much. Van is the real deal, a true talented ARTIST! She is extremely patient and kind. Highly recommend, worth every penny! read more

I had my Nano Brows done on 7/26 by Van, and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made. Van is incredibly patient, thorough, and a true perfectionist--she really listened to what I wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. My brows look so natural and frame my face beautifully, giving it a fuller look. After my touch-up, I loved them even more! The facility itself is spotless and professional, which made the whole experience even better. I couldn't be happier with my brows and highly recommend Van to anyone! read more

I am 63 & have close to non existent eyebrows. I had a great consultation with Van & Ivy, where they explained the process and shared before & after pictures. I felt comfortable & scheduled for the following week. The process took a little over 2 hours & I was comfortable & relaxed the entire time. Ivy was meticulous & professional and aware of my needs the entire time. When I saw the results, I was beyond amazed! I couldn't believe how natural & awesome they looked! Ivy did a spectacular job & I am so thankful. 5 stars all the way! read more

Van is absolutely amazing and she is the only one I trust with my eyebrows! Not only is she a wonderful human being and beautiful inside and out, she is also a true artist. She is precise with her technique, thoughtful about which service is the best fit for you and will walk you through everything, and so gentle that I end up falling asleep. She takes the time to get to know you as a person and listen to your needs, and you can tell that her standards are high so you will only get the best quality service. She goes above and beyond in all ways. I have been going to her since 2019, and it has been such an honor and a pleasure to get to know her and see her business grow and flourish. I always feel taken care of in her hands. I've gotten microblading and nano hairstrokes done with her, and they are THE BEST investment I could have ever made for my eyebrows. They frame my facial features perfectly and I can roll out of bed, go swimming, work out, etc. and they are always looking fantastic! I've gotten so many compliments on my eyebrows over the years :) I can't wait to go back to get a hydrafacial one of these days. Go to her for all your aesthetic needs! She and her team are the best! read more

I love my new brows!!!! I've waited years to find the right place and person and have the guts to do permanent makeup. But I'm so glad I finally did it and only wish I had found Van sooner. I was so nervous to go through with it- what if it was too dark? Or I didn't like the shape? Or looked unnatural? But Van was so kind, re-assuring and such the expert. I didn't really know what Ombré was, but glad she chose that for me as well as the right shape. Don't get hung up on copying a celebrity or your bff's brows. She'll design what's right for your face shape. But book early, I had to wait a month for an appt but it was worth the wait and the money! read more

I went to Vanity Brows for eyebrow correction and reshaping. From the first visit I was guided through the process with dignity and provided step by step instructions. Because of my prior work the process did take a bit longer than expected, only to ensure the best outcome. I would highly recommend Vanity Brows! The facility was clean, staff kind, professional and always interested in my wellbeing. read more

This business is Truly amazing. I had Van do my brows over a year ago and I have had countless compliments, especially my husband ! She is not just a great artist but she is so down to earth, kind and engaging. This makes the experience truly special and relaxing! I'm here for my touch up and once again I'm welcomed so warmly into the beautiful aesthetics of the spa. It's a beautiful, clean and elegant environment. I also had a facial with Ivy recently and it was the best facial I've ever had. She took her time, explained what she was doing and was gentle and kind. I absolutely love this spa and will be coming back to have more services done. I cannot recommend Vanity brows enough !!! read more

I cant rave enough about Vanity Brows, see pic for yourself! Van does epic work!! My eyebrows look so natural and beautiful. An absolute plus is to be able to wake up every day looking fabulous! Don't think twice just go! You wont regret! Next up fine line tatoo! Stay....tuned read more

Late review from August* Going to Vanity brows was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made! I have been wanting to get Ombre powder brows for the longest time and after seeing her work on instagram, I knew she was the brow artist for me. She was so thorough and meticulous in creating the perfect eyebrow shape, always taking in my opinion and checking with how I felt about the end result. I really felt taken care of and reassured since this is a semi-permanent procedure, there's no going back for a while! Making an appointment was very simple as well as making the touchup appointment. I am so happy with my result and I think it is 100% worth the investment as it saves so much time every single day!! Thank you so much Van! read more

I originally got my brows microbladed by Ivy P in September 2021. A few of my friends had their brows microbladed by Van. I was hesitant to get by brows done because I worried "what if it goes out of style?" I am so glad I got them done. They look so natural! The customer service is excellent and the salon is so clean. I especially love their new location! I just got them touched up last month (August 2023). Check out their website - it's very easy to navigate and prices are listed. They're also very responsive via text. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their brows done! read more

Vanity Brows - After initial visit (microblading) - Eyebrow Services Near Me - San Jose , California

I am happy every day that I came to Van for my microbladed brows. Before, I could not imagine what a huge difference it would make! Van knows exactly how to shape your brows to frame your face. I wanted a natural look, and mine suit the look I want exactly (better, actually). My sister and many of my friends go to her now with all their own preferences, so she really is an expert at figuring out what works best for you. They have also tried other services with other staff, and their tattoo eyeliners and lip blush all look great. The staff here are all very friendly and professional, and the new space is clean and beautiful. Always a wonderful and pleasant experience! Highly recommend!!! read more

I have been receiving services from Vanity Brows since 2018 and there's a reason I have stayed a loyal customer for this long! Van's skills are undeniable and Elsa does the best lashes in town! Along with the warm and friendly staff, her clean and beautiful studio always ensures that I am comfortable and at ease. I have referred many many friends there and everyone has always let me know how happy they were with their services! read more

This is the best facial I've ever had and I've had many prior. The whole experience is unbelievable!! I've never felt more relaxed and cared for and the end result is phenomenal. IVY IS AMAZING!! I look forward to my monthly visits. Y'all don't know what you're missing!!! read more

Had the opportunity to get my eyebrows waxed with Emma. It was my first time ever getting them waxed and she made it such a great experience! She was really gentle and listened to my concerns and how I wanted my brows to look. She made them look more full and even just how I wanted it. Also the location is so beautiful, clean, and relaxing. Would definitely be recommending this location to everyone! read more

Just wanted to update my review. I had my microblading and touch-up completed and I could not be happier with my brows! Van took the time to measure my face and to draw the proportions perfectly, and I was able to approve everything prior to the tattooing process. At first I went with simple brushstrokes, but for my touch-up I opted for some additional shading and I'm very glad that I did. My brows are fantastic now and extremely low maintenance. It is such a relief not to have to basically draw them on from scratch every single day. I also started getting eyelash extensions from Elsa, and what a difference they make in my overall appearance. So now I have everything - the lip shading, the eyeliner tattoo, the microblading, the lashes - all I have to do is throw on some concealer and tinted moisturizer with SPF and I look like I'm walking out the door with a full face of makeup. It's amazing! Run, do not walk, to this salon and get *every service they offer!* You won't believe how much it will streamline your morning routine! read more

I had my eyebrows done by Van. I am so happy with the results. They look amazing! Van is very professional. I knew from previous reviews and my consult with her that I was in good hands. The salon is not only relaxing but beautiful as well. read more

After a long and exhausting search for a phenomenal semi-permanent microblade artist, I stumbled upon Van. Her attention to detail is spot on and meticulous. I've gone to her about 5x now (initial session, 6 week touch up, 6 month touch up,1 yr touch up, and 1.5yr touch up). Van takes her time to ensure the shape, color, and fullness is to your liking. Her work is truly a form of art. I had a big scar from childhood that she was able to fill in, and it's practically unnoticeable now. Due to my oily skin, I do need to get touch ups often, which is why I see her every 6 months (I like em defined and darker). But if you have normal or dry skin you won't have to go as often. She will answer all your questions, and provides thorough after care instructions. I have recommended about 6 of my g/fs to her, and they are all very happy with the results. Don't settle for a cheap price from IG or go to someone who will "practice for free". This is your face. If you want QUALITY work, go to Van, she's your girl! read more

I found Van on IG around 2017 when I was browsing for an eyebrow tattoo artist. When someone is going to do semi permanent tattoo on your face, naturally you want someone who would do a great job. I trusted Van to do my brows and it turned out beautifully! I also recommended her to my best friend (who is a now a client with Van) and any friends who inquire about eyebrow tattooing. Van makes your brows fuller with a natural and clean look and enhances the shape of your original brows. Since then I continued to follow Van on IG and I am so happy to see that she opened up a studio! I've been returning for facials now and am so pleased with the results. I have oily to combination skin type and wanted the facial to hydrate my skin, minimize my pores, reduce blemishes / acne scars, and even out my skin tone / texture. My facials are done by Ivy V. and she has been amazing. I get the hydrafacials, along with blue and red LED therapy. No matter how nice my skincare products can be, I have not seen results like this until I did these facials. I've had noticeable improvements after one session. The studio is clean, bright, and beautiful. The area is spaced out intimately with separated dividers and screens. Van and her staff are all very nice and pleasant. I highly recommend coming here for anyone who's interested! :) read more

I'm so in love with my eyebrows that I got done from Van. She is the best. I love how clean and beautiful the shop is. I love how professional everyone is from the front desk and beyond. I would recommend going to vanity brows to get your eyebrows micro-bladed, a wax or a facial. read more

A friend who also has blonde hair/thinning eyebrows (as I do) told me about Vanity Brows, so I made an appointment before seeing the results of her microblading. That was a mistake. Even after two touch-ups, her brows are uneven, and not filled in - she still has to use pencil, so what is the point? When I asked my friend if she would recommend Van's now after having her brows done, she said no. Maybe Van's ability just extends to working on naturally dark eyebrows? I would recommend checking out other service providers if you are blonde or have light brows. By the way, make sure you note Van's punitive customer service policy that requires that you pay a $100 non-refundable deposit in order to even make an appt. Be 100% certain you want Van to do your eyebrows, or you will pay $100 for the privilege of experiencing Van's rudeness and unprofessionalism when you question this business practice. read more

Amazing service! Love the quality, time and extreme professionalism into her work when applying on the face nanoshading. I was very well taken care of, offered water as well as a pillow for my legs. The shop is new and modern. Good area near Almaden, Willow Glen, lots of parking. read more

Van is awesome. Always happy with her brow techniques and skills. The studio has super chic decor making it feel like a very sexy, cool brow spa environment. read more

Came here today for the first time and definitely recommend it! I have been looking for a reliable brow wax place for quite some time and think I finally found it. The wax was the perfect temperature, did not leave my skin burned / irritated and my brows came out looking perfect. I even asked for some product suggestions to get my desired brow look and a Christine was beyond helpful. She gave me multiple suggestions and was not overly pushy about the higher end services the salon offers. Vanity Brows is very clean and I felt totally comfortable with the service experience from start to finish. I would recommend booking by your appointment via text instead of online for the lost updated schedule. read more

Van did an amazing job. She was gentle and had a very calm voice that made me feel really comfortable. Signed the consent and then she number and outlined the brows then made sure they were even before beginning. Pain was probably a 2/10, felt like short cat scratches, or papercuts. Whole process about 2-3 hours. She knew that I had a long commute afterwards and gave me some snacks to eat on the way home. So sweet! read more

TLDR; Microbladed in 2017. BEST THING IVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF. Van is hands down the best in the Bay Area. I've already referred at least 7 people to her and every single person raved about her. Every. Single. Person. Van = Best in Bay Area! ....... I got my brows microbladed by Van in 2017. Back then, I didn't really care too much for my brows. I didn't think there was anything wrong with them nor did I make an effort to make them look nice. That's the thing about brows--we often neglect them because they're just... eyebrows....But we fail to see that eyebrows ARE EVERYTHING. They open up your face, brighten your eyes, and give you so much more personality! I decided to get my brows microbladed after seeing a girlfriend get hers done. Funny thing is, she didn't even get hers done by Van but she told me to go to Van because she liked Van's work more. So I made an appointment and got them done. I wanted to fill in some gaps I had (see photos) and give them some sort of shape. Van takes her time drawing in the right shape for your face. She's super patient and gentle. She gives you numbing cream to prevent any pain in the microblading process. She's goes over each line twice and ensures to match the right color for your brows. The healing process takes about two weeks. It will look really dark for the first few days when it scans but will heal and naturally peel off. You'll look like an angry bird at first but you'll come out a majestic peacock once it's healed. I've referred at least 7 people to Van and they've all come back changed women. Then LOVE their brows and cannot stop talking about Van. Van is my "oh you need your brows done? I got a girl for that" kind of girl. I know that if I send someone to Van, she'll change their lives and they'll fall in love with their brows. I've had friends travel all the way from LA to see Van. I've had Van fix peoples crooked and uneven brows. I've had friends get it done AND I CANT EVEN TELL until they tell me they did it because it looks so damn natural. Her work is INCREDIBLE. She is hands down, the BEST microblading person to go to. read more

Great eyebrows don't happen by chance. They happen by an appointment with Van at Vanity Brows! I've been holding off on getting my eyebrows done for the longest time. I've seen plenty of girlfriends, aunties and cousins get their eyebrows done. Some turn out great and some are walking around looking like Angry Bird! I ran into a friend who's always had gorgeous enviable brows. She told me that she just got her brows microbladed by Van. I was shocked! It looked so natural, I would never have guessed! She sent me Vanity Brow's Instagram account where I proceeded to IG stalk Van's work for the next six months before working up the courage to call her up. The week leading up to my appointment I was so nervous. What if it turns out horrible? I'd be stuck with them forever! What if she makes a mistake? Will I get an infection? Will I bleed to death? I know... I can be a bit dramatic. Van was very patient and sweet with me. She answered all of my questions, advised me to take two Tylenol if I was worried about the pain. The first thing she did was put numbing cream on my eyebrows and I waited for about 45 minutes. I said a quick prayer to the universe in hopes that I won't walk out of there with Angry Bird eyebrows. Fingers crossed, breathe... Throughout the entire process Van was meticulous, she measured my face, took photos, drew in the new brow shape, remeasured and finally started her work. Ok! I won't lie, it was painful at times but not unbearable. The whole process took about two hours. When she finally showed me my new set of brows I was shocked! It was perfectly shaped BUT really dark... so I freaked out again! She consoled me and told me it's normal to look this way, the color will fade over time and it will look very natural. The healing process takes 10-15 days. Waiting for my brows to heal was the hardest part of this entire process! Main thing to remember, don't sweat on your forehead (so no gym workouts!), avoid the sun, and don't get your brows wet when showering. After 10-15 days you're good to go! Now I wake up with beautiful natural-looking brows and I feel like I'm ready to conquer the day! I have two little ones so this is a major time saver. Early morning drop offs? Slap on the sunscreen and we're out the door! If I want to be fancy, it takes less than one minute to darken my already beautifully shaped brows. She's got a three month waiting list... but good things are worth waiting for. So call Vanity Brows now and keep stalking her IG account until it's your turn for beautiful brows. read more

I went to Van to get my brows done almost 2.5 years ago! I remember when she first started out and was microblading from her home studio. And now, she has her very own space! I am so proud and very honored to have been one of the firsts to have gotten my brows done by Van. She's incredibly sweet and does an amazing job. Every time I see her, I always leave feeling re-energized and my brows looking even more bomb! She is the only person I truly trust for this, and the only person I would send my referrals to! Thank you so much Van! I can't wait to see you soon for a touch up :) Pictures are current -- my brows still look amazing even though my last touch up was over a year ago! read more
