EXCELLENT Based on 65 reviews Karisma Kulkarni2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Shima Beauty enough! She is an absolute artist when it comes to microblading and lip blush. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she truly listened to what I wanted, making sure I was happy every step of the way. I got microblading done for the first time by Shima and my brows look flawless and natural. She’s not only super talented but also one of the kindest people I’ve met. If you’re considering microblading or lip blush, this is your sign to book with Shima — you won’t regret it! I’ve also worked with Shima for makeup services and she is fantastic! I highly recommend Shima Beauty for all of your beauty needs 💕 Navneet Kaur2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shima did good job on my ombré brows and lip blush I really liked her job that she had done on me thanks shima beauty vivien valles2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shima is truly an expert in educating her clients! I was nervous for my first permanent makeup service but she took the time to walk me through every step! I felt very comfortable and I loved my results! I will be booking with Shima again very soon. Corey Thomas2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shima did an excellent job on my permanent make-up. She spent an hour making sure my eyebrows were perfectly placed, and the color was exactly right before microblading. I am over the moon with the results, so natural and pretty. I had such a great experience with my eyebrows that I decided to have my lips done too. Again, the attention to detail and color choice were exceptional. Next, I was ready to try lash liner. I had been concerned about a needle so close to my eye, but Shima is an expert! The line is thin and delicate but gives that added definition I wanted when I don’t feel like putting on makeup. Now I get up in the morning and don’t have to do anything to feel put together. I LOVE MY RESULTS!!!!! I would highly recommend Shima, she is amazing! Zihan Zhang2025-03-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend introduced this studio to me. Shima is an incredibly talented makeup artist with a remarkable ability to grasp her clients' preferences instantly. From the moment you sit in her chair, she attentively listens to your ideas and visions, making you feel heard and understood. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of color palettes and techniques, she expertly transforms your look, whether you're aiming for a natural glow, a glamorous evening style, or something uniquely creative. The final result is always stunning, showcasing not just her skills but also her dedication to making you feel beautiful and confident. I’m so glad I found her! Lumiii2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shima was really sweet from the moment I greeted her, she offered me water to drink and was very thorough when explaining the microblading procedure. It was a bit painful at first but after she applied the numbing cream I didn't feel a thing! She provided me with a cream to apply to my eyebrows while they healed and explained what I should do for my aftercare. I thought I would feel some kind of pain or irritation once the numbing cream wore off but there wasn't any type of discomfort at all! My skin healed pretty quickly and I loved the natural end result. Just what I wanted, 10/10 recommend! 😊 Kylee Strawder2025-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was such a joy to sit in Shima’s make up chair! She did a stunning job and was great company. 1000/100 recommend. She made me feel really comfortable and gorgeous throughout the whole entire process and we took a fun video throughout and photos of the end Aran Zarei2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so happy I chose Shima to do my makeup. It's not just her fantastic skills; her personality is great too. She's kind and truly trustworthy. She quickly understood what I wanted and guided me to the best look with her knowledge. I've gone to her several times for makeup and lip blush and will never change. Thank you, Shima. I'm so happy to have found you. I highly recommend Shima. Arina Arian2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the most wonderful experience getting a lip blush done by Shima! From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable and at ease. Shima’s attention to detail and skill is truly remarkable—she took the time to carefully design the perfect shape and color to complement my natural features. The results are absolutely stunning! My lips look fuller, more defined, and beautifully natural. Shima made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. If you’re considering a lip blush, I highly recommend her—she’s a true artist! Shristhy Naidu2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am absolutely obsessed with Shima’s work! I recently had the pleasure of getting a lip blush treatment, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Shima is so welcoming and her studio is just as amazing. Shima was gentle with the process and explained everything thoroughly. She is one of the kindest and intelligent technicians I have met. She advised me on so much more about health and beauty. I’m really grateful that I met someone who has so much knowledge to share. She is truly talented and knows her craft really well. The results were amazing and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested! You are in good hands with Shima, and you won’t be disappointed!
