ARCH TO END Permanent Cosmetics - Garden Grove, California

Caroline is the best. She does careful prep work and her handiwork is the best.

She gives great advice on the color that suits you. Be prepared to say if you want to wake up with a lipstick color or more of a lighter natural colored lips if they’d what you want.

I recently had a lashline enhancement done by Caroline and was unfortunately diagnosed with corneal abrasion due to the procedure. I experienced blurry vision immediately after, and the pain that followed later that afternoon was one of the worst in my life. I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my eye, along with excessive tearing and feeling like something was in my eyes. I was prescribed an antibiotic ointment that has helped relieve the pain and my vision has thankfully been recovering. I'm grateful as it could've been a lot worse.

I'm posting this review as a warning to anyone considering permanent eyeliner with Caroline, given the risk of corneal injuries. It could have been due to pressure, contact, etc. - I felt pressure on my eyes while Caroline was working on the eyeliner and some of the lidocaine entered my eyes. Caroline did try to flush it out, but it didn't help very much and I still felt discomfort. There were also points during the session when the numbing wore off, and I felt the stinging vibrations more intensely.

When I contacted Caroline about the symptoms I was experiencing and my diagnosis, she expressed that I'm her first client who has experienced this. She shared the products used and inquired about my condition, but no attempt was made to rectify the situation (admitting fault, offering full or partial refund, etc.). I'm very disappointed by outcome of the session as well as the service, and would advise future clients to think twice before booking an eyeliner service at Arch to End. The possibility of damage to your vision is simply not worth it.

I highly recommend this place!

I met Caroline during Covid. She had to cancel many times because businesses were closed down, and I'm glad we finally met because she covered a scar I have from a bike accident and gave shape to my lips again. ?

I receive compliments all the time, and I just wear sunscreen every day. That’s it!

I came back for a touch-up yesterday after nearly 3 years, and she did an amazing job once again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Caroline definitely transformed my pale, dead looking lips to a beautiful color. She was amazing very helpful explaining the process and aftercare ,it was a pretty painless experience for me. Thanks to getting my lips done Cuts my time in getting ready on a daily basis. Looking forward to setting up a future appointment. I would definitely recommend !!

I had little to no pigment left in my lips, let alone a border you could define. I reached out to Caroline with a million questions about getting my lips tattooed, as I was pretty nervous to pull the trigger. Caroline was very professional and took the time to answer all my questions. When I went in for my appointment, I appreciated the time she took helping me decide on the color, her importance of sanitation, and I really appreciated how extremely detailed she was - not only in perfecting my lip design but also in communicating every step from start to finish. She was very patient with me and her passion for her work just shines in the end result! I love my new lips and I'm just floored with how great they look! I would absolutely recommend Caroline in a heartbeat!!

This was my first time getting something permanently tattooed and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! Caroline was super informative throughout the entire process, telling me what she was doing step-by-step and why. This was really reassuring because I've never had something done like this before. Caroline's attention to detail is like no other. Mapping out my brows was the longest part of the procedure, and that's where her attention to detail really shined through. We spent nearly two hours mapping them and even when I thought they were perfect and ready to be tattooed, she made a final adjustment to make them sharper and even more defined. She was super patient and friendly too, which made everything less nerve-racking. I was initially nervous about the tattooing part because I was scared it would hurt, but it turned out to be just fine. After she outlined my brows, she applied a numbing cream so I didn't feel any pain throughout the rest of the procedure. Overall, I had a great first experience with permanent makeup, thanks to Caroline! Thank you for blessing my brows! If you're considering getting your brows or lips tattooed, check out Arch to End by Caroline--she's passionate and amazing at what she does.

Caroline is sooo amazing at what she does! I’ve been waiting to get my lip blush done by her and I am so glad I did! It’s such a great investment for anybody, whether you wear makeup daily or not! It’s natural, subtle yet noticeable! Her entire studio is extremely clean and she was properly geared up for the whole procedure which made me feel very safe.

I really appreciated the fact that she thoroughly explained to me the entire process as well as what I expect, after care, the do’s and dont’s, etc. She provides a cute after care kit which included everything I needed to take care of my new lips so it was super convenient for me to carry around.

I’ve always been insecure about the discoloration and small Cupid’s bow. When she sketched out my lips and gave them more dimension and i was surprised because I didn’t even know I had so much lip! After that she went straight into numbing.

When she started the tattooing process she made sure to check up on me continually to make sure I was comfortable. The pain is mild and tolerable.

She finished the entire procedure in about 2 hours including consultation and sketching. I was in and out(:

The outcome is beautiful and she was spot on with the color I requested. Thank you so so much Caroline!

Omgsh! Where do I start? Caroline is AMAZING! Since I got there everything was very clean! She used gloves at all times! Changed them out every time she needed to & even showed me the packaged needle when she was about to start! LOVED my lips! I just left, they’re a little swollen, but it’ll go down in 24hrs! So happy with the results...pain level...4. It’s not the most painful thing in the world!! If you have tattoos, you can take it! DEF RECOMMEND!
