I've been going to Soyoung for 4+ years after being recommended by a friend. She's so detailed and sweet. I have since moved out of California but still travel to LA for work and always make time to stop by at least 1-2x a year if possible!
Specialties: Korean style eyebrow microblading
Cleanliness: Extremely clean!

Absolutely DO NOT get your eyebrows done by Soyoung. I went to her when she was operating out of Atelier salon. She's extremely unprofessional and made my eyebrows so thick and unnatural. I immediately when back to my car and sobbed the whole ride back home bc of how UGLY I looked. I had to go to another artist to fix Soyoung's work a few weeks later which costs me more time, money and pain. The other artist also couldn't fully fix Soyoung's work bc she cut WAY too deep leaving you with permanent scarring. It's been 6 years and it finally has faded somewhat. Please save yourself from the emotional trauma and ugly ass brows!!

Would honestly give 0 stars if I could. I got work done in 2019(!!!) and I STILL have scars from her botched up microblading job. Since then, I've been to two different places and both told me that the scar tissues went too deep and it will take forever to heal (if it ever will). I came here bc she charges less, but it was literally a waste of money and my time. She doesn't care about the shape you want or what suits your bone structure at all. Don't waste your money/time, & just go to a better, more experienced artist. Soyoung doesn't know what she's doing.

I got referred from my friend that they do great eyelash perms and semi permanent tattoos so i decided to try it out! I was scared at first thinking about how it might hurt but both services did not hurt and it turned out natural and so beautiful! So I decided to do my lips since they had discoloration, embarassing I know but Soyoung helped me make them evenly colored without any dark pigment left! I was really nervous that it may hurt but there was no pain and thankfully she applies some numb cream throughout the session to help ease any uncomfortable feeling! Lip tattoo has 2-3 sessions so this was my final session result!~ Beautiful i know i know! best of all, she said IT LASTS ABOUT 5 YEARS!! This was the best decision I have ever made this year! I can finally just go out without having to put on lipstick or lipgloss Also to talk about eyelash perms! I had very droopy straight lashes that kept poking my eyes but Heather lifted them up so beautifully and now i feel like i can see better! There was no damage and it really does look like I have extensions on! Mascara helps make my lashes look more like extensions! It did lasts about 6 weeks like she said! She also takes before and after pictures so if you want her to send it to you she will~ oh and by the way it takes about 50min-1hr so if your tired you can sleep like i did THANK YOU SO MUCH SOYOUNG AND HEATHER! You guys are awesome! I surely will be coming back here for more beauty tattoos and eyelash perms!!!!!

I don't know how she has such great reviews. Got my eyebrows and eyeliner here a few years back. Color is now a weird pink/purple color. To make a long story short unless I get laser removal, I can never get micro blading again! She left permanent scarring in my skin. Had to get it fixed somewhere but the only way was to get a shadow brow to cover up her mess. My eyeliner tattoo also came out uneven and now have to apply eyeliner everyday to cover the unevenness unless I get a thicker eyeliner tattoo to cover up her mistake. I've met other brow artist who have said they have had to fix other customers who got their eyebrows done by SoYoung as well (same problem). Did I mention that when I was there for my touch up there were 3 other people there to fix the unevenness in their brows! Beware long term effects are not worth it go somewhere else!

Have been here now four times and have been so happy each time. Soyoung is great at making sure she understands your vision and her microblading skills are excellent. Highly recommend~

Very unprofessional and underwhelming services. She overbooks clients and is careless in both business practices and application. I regret going to her for eyebrow micro blading.

An unprofessional service led to permanent, discolored microblading. I went to Soyoung in 2018 and I really regret getting microbladed eyebrows done by her. It is NOT semi-permanent!!! It has been over four years now since my service and there is still pigment in my eyebrows. The pigment has become totally discolored, a reddish color that doesn't match the color of the rest of my eyebrows. I remember I had a good experience for my initial appointment, but my second appointment, where the technician creates the final shape and does the more permanent microblading, went HORRIBLY and was completely unprofessional. While I was in the middle of my treatment, another woman came into the store, had a short conversation with the receptionist and instead of waiting for her turn, sat down in the other treatment chair beside me and started chatting with Soyoung. The other woman started talking about what type of service she wanted to have while Soyoung was still working on me. Soyoung became extremely distracted because she was talking with the woman at the same time she was working on my brows, and suddenly cut the needles too deep. Unlike the other strokes she had done, this stroke was very painful, felt like a deep cut and my eyebrows immediately started bleeding. She had to hold a paper towel to my eyebrows as it bled badly. That stroke that she went too deep on is STILL ON MY FACE OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, 6 lines that are totally discolored now and red. It is super visible because it is in the inner corner of my brow where I do not grow much hair, and makeup does not cover it. I had hoped it would fade by now, as Soyoung said it would, but it hasn't and my face is permanently messed up. I really DO NOT recommend coming here. Maybe her other services are good, but her microblading has caused a permanent botched brow for me. Also I didn't really care about this because she wore gloves, but I want to note for other folks considering going to Soyoung's, that her hands and person always smelled like cigarettes. She would go for a cigarette break frequently throughout the service.

She is so good at what she does. I instantly felt like I could trust her with my eyebrows and eyeliner. It didn't hurt at all and I loved the results!!! This will make my mornings so much smoother

Read other 1 star reviews for genuine reviews. Soyoung is pretty rude. I waited ONE HOUR with numbing cream while she chatted it up with another customer and dealing with some business problem with her assistant and on the phone. Was on her cell phone with the gloves she was using on my eyebrows. Strangely interesting how she gets 5 star reviews. She is very fake and did a poor job on my eyebrows. Rushes through and result is uneven, poorly done work. Heads up- she will get irritated if you point out that it's uneven. She bad mouths people after getting off the phone with customers and business calls. Very unprofessional. Smells like cigarette smoke in there with a dog running around. I was amazed at the other 1 star reviews who had very similar experiences. She was probably talented at one point. Too bad she isn't more courteous nor conscientious about her work knowing customers are walking out dissatisfied.

The best brow microblading experience if you want a natural, softer look! Soyoung was extremely professional and kind during the entire process. The pain level is minimal with the numbing cream and the results last me typically a whole year. I love how naturally they've faded and it makes getting ready in the morning super easy. Definitely recommend! You won't regret it :)Service: Tattoos

I got my eyebrows tatted and eyelashes permed for the first time ever. Soyoung and her assistant were very kind, nice, helpful and professionals from start, middle, to finish. The end result of my eyelash Perm was super cute. The eyebrow tattoo was beautiful. It really exceeded my expectations. I was very excited for my eyebrow tattoo and eyelash Perm and am happy to have gotten it done by Soyoung and her assistant. Thank you! See you in a few weeks for the retouch and eyebrow Perm!
