Fix or enhance thin Permanent Makeup or Microblading eyebrows

Brows Lift and Define 


 If you’ve had permanent makeup before and walked away thinking, “Well… that wasn’t what I hoped for,” you’re definitely not alone. A lot of women and men 55+ tried cosmetic tattoo years ago when techniques, pigments, and pain management just weren’t where they are today. Maybe it hurt more than you expected. Maybe the color turned gray, pink, or too dark. Maybe the shape felt heavy, crooked, or just not you. And maybe you told yourself, Never again.


Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: most permanent makeup and microblading can be fixed or significantly improved.

Not erased overnight, not magically changed in one session—but thoughtfully corrected, softened, reshaped, and refined by an artist who actually specializes in working with existing tattoos, mature skin, and real-life faces.

That’s where places like Pretty Please Studio in San Ramon, CA come in. This isn’t about trends or bold Instagram or Facebook brows. It’s about subtle, believable results—brows, eyeliner, or lips that look like they belong to your face, not drawn on top of it.

If your previous experience involved:

  • Discomfort or pain

  • Poor communication or rushed appointments

  • Unflattering shape or placement

  • Color that healed oddly

  • Brows that aged you instead of lifting you

…you’re exactly the kind of client they work with every day.

Artists like Jee Kim at Pretty Please Studio focus on correction work using modern techniques like nano blading and advanced micro pigmentation, which are often far gentler than old-school microblading and far more controlled. The goal isn’t to “redo” your face—it’s to enhance what’s already there, soften harsh lines, improve symmetry, and restore a natural look that quietly refreshes your appearance.

When permanent makeup is done well, people don’t ask, “Did you get your brows tattooed?”
They say, “You look rested,” or “Did you lose weight?” or “Something about you looks lifted.”

And yes—if you’re coming from San Francisco, or nearby towns like Danville, Dublin, Walnut Creek, BlackHawk, Livermore, or Castro Valley, it’s an easy trip and well worth it for specialized correction work.

If you’re skeptical (totally fair), take a look at the Google and Yelp reviews. You’ll see a common theme: people who were nervous, hesitant, or disappointed elsewhere—and relieved they finally found someone who listened, explained the process, and had a real game plan.

Best part? Consultations are free. No pressure, no commitment—just an honest conversation about what can be improved, what’s realistic, and what steps it might take.  Worst case scenario is that the previous works cannot be fixed.  But that is rare.

If you’ve been living with permanent makeup you don’t love, you don’t have to keep settling. Sometimes all it takes is the right artist, the right approach, and a fresh set of experienced eyes.

Basic Questions to Ask a Permanent Makeup Artist Prior to Scheduling an Appointment: Q1:   Are you OSHA Compliant? If the Artist is NOT Occupational Safety and Health Authorization (OSHA) compliant, take your business elsewhere.  This is basic requirement for every Permanent Makeup business in the state of California and most other states.   An annual inspection and testing is necessary to be granted a certificate to operate by the County Health Services. As of July 2012, all Permanent Makeup and Tattoo Artists need a permit issued by the Health Department to conduct business in CA.  The county will not issue a permit without an annual inspection.  Please note, this Permit is different than City Business Registration.  City Business Registration only notifies the City that you are conducting business at that location. A sink with hot/cold water is required in the workspace in Contra Costa County, CA.  Sinks in the bathroom do not c...

Permanent Makeup Camouflage

Q: Can I camouflage a scar, area of the skin that's missing pigment, or previous permanent makeup by using skin colored tattoo pigment? Clients with Vitiligo and scar tissues on their body/face request camouflage tattooing to match their natural skin color.  There's always Pros and Cons. Pro:  Tattooing skin colored pigment can conceal or make the area with loss of pigment less noticeable.  There are a lot of vendors with various colors, so you may find a color to match your skin tone.   Con : Your skin may darken or lighten depending on the time of the year, i.e. sun tan. It may be subtle, but your skin varies in darkness/lightness throughout the year.  However,  the Camouflage pigment will remain the same.  It will not tan with you.  Therefore, if the scar/loss of pigmented area is on your body that gets exposed to sun light,  this may not be a good solution for you. Also, all pigment fades over time.  Again, th...
