Studio KB

Studio KB is a permanent makeup studio in San Francisco offering several brow techniques: nano brows, powder brows, combo brows and microblading. The studio also provides eyeliner in two styles (lash enhancement and smokey), plus cover-up work for clients who have brows from another artist. New cover-up clients are limited to those whose previous work is about 90% faded. Both cover-up and smokey eyeliner need a consultation before booking, and the site explains that eyeliner is not right for every client. Non-tattoo services include brow grooming, tinting, lamination and waxing.

According to the studio, each permanent makeup appointment covers a consultation, custom shaping, numbing and pigment matching. Their FAQs say every new service takes at least two visits. A touch-up is suggested 8 to 12 weeks after the first session, and a color refresher every one to two years after that. Touch-ups are reserved for existing clients. Appointments are booked online with a deposit, and clients fill out an intake form after booking. Because the studio operates under the same permitting as a tattoo shop, minors and pets are not allowed in during permanent makeup services.
