Summer Eyes By Lily Yuriko Satoh

Awesome!  I went to Lily to tattoo my eyebrows.  Actually, it was to fix my eyebrow color.  I originally had my eyebrows tattooed by Donna Reed 10 years ago.  I know all the older ladies go to Donna Reed, including my mom and aunt.  Unfortunately, my eyebrow's shape was too harsh and too dark 10 years ago.  After years of wear, my eyebrows looked dark blueish.  Lily helped me turn them brown and made the shape softer.  

I believe I paid $360, but I just gave her $400 total, including tip.  I got 2 sessions for that price.  The first session was the initial shaping and first tattoo application.  After it peeled, I went back for the final touch-up.  Well worth the $400 bucks, as you can't put a price on your face.

Thank goodness I found Lily.  She rents a small room from the spa, so don't expect help from the spa employees.  Lily is from Japan originally and the last time I saw her she was pregnant.  I sure hope she returned to work as she's so talented.

FYI  - eyelash application is amazing too.  She did a few strands for me free and it was beautiful and long for about a month before they fell off.

I found Yuriko Satoh on Yelp and all the previous Yelpers were absolutely correct--Yuriko is THE BEST in the craft of eye lash extensions and permanent makeup. She has completely transformed my look and my life in the most positive way I could ever imagine! She managed to make my tiny Asian eyes look HUGE with AMAZING eyelash extensions and permanent eyeliner! I'm an academic and research has shown that people with larger eyes are seen as more attractive/beautiful AND research has also shown that attractive people are more likely to be treated favorably by others. I owe my life to Yuriko because now whenever I need or want something from someone, I just bat my eyes, and my wish is their command!!!

Once you experience the life changing power of Yuriko's master hand, you will want to keep going back. I started out wanting "giraffe" lashes--natural and long, and she did such an outstanding job on me (made my lashes look TOTALLY natural and really opened up my eyes!), I wanted to do more. I read all the rave reviews on her permanent makeup work, but I was EXTREMELY hesitant to tattoo anything on my face. After all, it is permanent and it's right on my face--the first thing people see when they meet you. I pondered it for a while, but it was Yuriko's warm, trustworthy character and meticulous work on my eyelashes that fully convinced me to take the plunge.

The one thing I experienced that was different from other reviewers was that I was nervous about getting the eyeliner tattoo at first, but the minute I got into Yuriko's office/room, I felt calm and confident that it wasn't going to be painful. My prior experience with Yuriko made me 100% confident that she was not going to do anything that would hurt me. I was absolutely right. She numbed me up so well and she KNOWS exactly where all the tender and most sensitive parts of your eyes are (after all, she's had the procedure done to herself and is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen). All I felt was a slight tickling sensation, which actually felt quite nice. I got both the top and bottom eyeliner done, and even tattooed the insides of my eyelashes to have that deeper look. The whole time, I was expecting the inside tattooing to be the most uncomfortable part, since it is the raw and extremely sensitive part of your eye. However, I didn't even know when Yuriko was doing the insides because she uses a technique where it feels like she's just doing the top of your eye! Before I knew it, we were done, and both the inner and outer parts of my eye were done and completely PERFECT! I don't know how Yuriko has such a steady hand to draw the line on so perfectly. Whenever I do my own eyeliner, my shaky hand can't even get the line straight, and this is after decades of using eyeliner! She makes your eyeliner look so perfect. You'll feel like you are ready to model for Lancôme or Estée Lauder in a magazine! The best part--your eyes will be this perfect EVERYDAY without you having to fuss with it AND it won't run when you swim, sweat, cry, etc. I also really appreciate that Yuriko followed the natural line of my eye (which I didn't even think was possible, given my flat Asian eyes), and her work brought out natural features that I did not even know were there!

I also have to comment that when I read the reviews on Yelp about how kind and gentle Yuriko is, I was not at all expecting who I met in person for the first time. Yuriko is ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! She may perhaps be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and what makes her over-the-top beautiful is that her personality and character are just as beautiful. She really takes care of you, has an extremely big heart to want to help people and she does everything she can to accommodate you. She does in fact end up working extremely long hours because she just wants to make everyone happy. She came in at 7:30am to do my eyeliner, and she had been at work until 11:30 the night before helping to give a woman eyelash extensions who had had her eyelashes fall out as a result of chemotherapy. This is how much compassion she has for people.

Yuriko also is very responsive to text msgs and encourages you to text her if you have any questions post-procedure. I was also surprised at how quickly she responds to text msgs. After all, she is always BOOKED with clients, so I wonder how on earth she has the time to respond. During my appointment, even though she may receive calls, her attention is always focused on me. She takes pride in her work and her primary goal is YOUR HAPPINESS and SATISFACTION.

One last thing... My friends who have gotten their lashes done by other people have told me that when they get out of the shower, they have to comb their lashes in the upward direction. Well, I never have had to do anything to keep my lashes looking perfect because Yuriko is THE BEST!

Thank you, Yuriko, for being a trustworthy friend and giving me new confidence and beauty.

I had been wanting permanent eyeliner for years, but onlu took the plunge after reading rave reviews about yuriko.
Consult - it is obvious that yuriko is a highly skilled professional and she is passionate about what she does. She clearly explained the process and discussed my options.
First appointment - yuriko drew on a sample line and made sure it was what i envisioned. Once the numbing cream takes effect, there is literally no discomfort throughout the procedure. She gives great instructions for post-treatment and provides all the necessities like ointment and cotton swabs.
Second appointment - yuriko splits the appointments to allow for healing, and to add pigmentation since you can lose quite a bit during the healing process.  This is totally normal. We decided to go with a more dramatic line, and the application was as smooth and painless as the first time.
It has been 4 short days since my second appointment and i am completely healed with minimal pigment loss. I cannot express how happy i am with yuriko's artistry. I would highly recommend yuriko to anyone considering permanent eyeliner!

Thank you so very much yuriko! Now i am thinking about doing my eyebrows!
