Brows so natural, nobody can tell.
Nona has spent 12 years and thousands of hours doing one thing: brows that look like they grew there. No harsh block. No gray-blue fade. Just you, minus the twenty minutes a morning with a brow pencil.

Healed work, not just fresh.
Fresh brows flatter every artist — the pigment is dark, the strokes are crisp, the photo looks great. The truth shows up weeks later, after healing. That's the only photo that matters, and it's the one Nona builds her reputation on.
Half of Nona's clients arrive from another artist's chair.
Brows that healed too dark. Strokes that blurred into a block. Pigment that turned gray, blue, or orange. Shapes that never matched the face they were drawn on. Nona has spent much of her 12 years quietly fixing all of it — which is exactly why her own work is so careful in the first place.
Every correction starts the same way: send photos of your bare brows, and she'll tell you honestly what's possible — whether that's a color correction, a reshape over the old work, or waiting for more fading first. No guesswork, no overpromising.

Nothing permanent happens until you approve it.
Consultation & mapping
Nona measures and draws your new brows on first — shape, arch, and color matched to your face and your natural hair. You look in the mirror, you adjust anything you want, and nothing starts until you love what you see.
The session
Plan on two to three relaxed hours. A strong medical-grade numbing cream goes on first and stays ahead of the work the whole time — most clients say they barely felt anything, and more than a few have fallen asleep.
Perfecting session
Six to eight weeks later, once your skin has fully healed, Nona refines anything that softened during healing and locks in the final result. This second pass is what separates brows that last from brows that fade unevenly.
Simple menu. Honest pricing.
Microblading / Combination Brows
Fine, hair-like strokes — with soft shading added where your brows need extra fullness. Custom-mapped to your face; designed to heal soft and natural, never dark or blocky.
Brow Correction / Cover-Up
For brows done elsewhere that healed too dark, discolored, or misshapen. Photo approval required before booking — DM or text photos of your bare brows first.
Lip Blush
A soft wash of custom-blended color that defines your lip shape and evens tone — heals to a natural, your-lips-but-better tint. No overlined look.
Permanent Eyeliner
A soft lash-line enhancement that makes lashes look fuller and eyes brighter — subtle enough for every day, and one of Nona's favorite services to perform.
Perfecting Session
The 6–8 week refinement included in every new-client journey. Booked as its own visit once your skin has fully healed.
Color Boost
An annual-ish refresh for existing work that's softened over time. The longer it's been, the more rebuilding is involved — pricing reflects that honestly.
A deposit reserves your appointment and is applied to your service. Existing clients: your loyalty is grandfathered — ask Nona about founding-client pricing on color boosts.
What clients say weeks later.
"It looks so natural — I get compliments constantly and nobody can tell they're done."
Microblading client"It transformed my face. I honestly look younger — and I haven't touched a brow pencil since."
Microblading client"I was so scared of pain, but with her numbing cream I felt almost nothing. It was over before I knew it."

Twelve years on one craft.
Nona has been doing permanent makeup for over twelve years — long before microblading was a trend, and long enough to watch trends come, go, and heal badly. She works alone, by appointment, from her private suite at Sola Salon Studios in Costa Mesa, minutes from South Coast Plaza.
Her philosophy is simple: the best compliment a brow can get is that nobody knew. That's why she maps every face by hand, mixes pigment for your exact skin tone and hair color, and turns down looks she knows won't heal well — even when a client asks for them.
She also works with clients navigating alopecia, chemotherapy, and thinning brows — restoring not just hair, but the feeling of looking in the mirror and recognizing yourself.
Everything clients ask before booking.

What is healing like, and how long does it take?

I had my brows done somewhere else and I hate them. Can you fix them?
