Framed Brow Studio and Piercing Bar

Framed Brow Studio and Piercing Bar is a San Mateo studio that focuses on permanent makeup and professional ear piercing. It serves clients from San Mateo, San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. The permanent makeup menu includes nano brows, ombré or powder brows, brow refreshes and corrections, lash line enhancement, lip blush and scalp micropigmentation (SMP). The studio also lightens old brow work with Botched Ink, which it describes as a serum for removing pigment, and it offers tiny and fine line tattoos. The site says its consultations are honest and meant to set realistic expectations. Brow and lightening clients are invited to schedule a consultation first.

For piercing, the studio says it uses single-use sterile needles instead of guns and stocks only implant-grade titanium and solid gold jewelry. It also offers custom ear curation planning and can swap old jewelry in existing piercings for new pieces. All visits are by appointment only, and clients book through the appointments tab on the studio's website.
