Kat did an amazing job on my almost nonexistent eyebrows. She really listens to what you want and takes a lot of time to perfect your eyebrows. I love my new eyebrows and I’ve also had a lot of compliments over the last few weeks!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Kat at A Dose Of Ink. She did an incredible job on my eyebrows. I took her recommendation on what she thought would look best, and I now have the brows I've always wished I had naturally, with no daily maintenance. I wish I had done it sooner. Kat is not only an artist; she is an incredible, kind and empathetic human. It was so nice so spend time with her and chat during the appointment.

I don’t even know where to begin – Kat is truly AMAZING! I’ve been going to her for nearly four years, and my first microblading experience was a game-changer. Transitioning from barely-there eyebrows to beautifully defined ones was a big change, but Kat guided me through every step, explaining the process, setting expectations, and helping me navigate all the mixed emotions. When I had a moment of panic, she was incredibly responsive, even providing makeup tips to soften the initial look (which it did, perfectly, just a few days later). Kat’s skill, attention to detail, and artistry are unmatched. She takes the time to truly listen, ensuring that the shape, color, and stroke density are exactly what I envisioned. Her dedication to cleanliness and safety is exceptional—I’ve visited both her Oakland and San Mateo salons, and each one is pristine. Kat even makes a point of opening a brand-new blade in front of me to ensure everything is sterile and safe. I absolutely love my eyebrows; they look so natural and beautifully shaped. Beyond her talent, Kat is genuinely a wonderful person. She even offers free services to those undergoing cancer treatment, which speaks volumes about her character. If you’re considering microblading, don’t hesitate—Kat is the absolute best and she will make you feel beautiful!

I recently had the pleasure of getting permanent makeup done by Kat, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I walked in, her professionalism and warm demeanor put me at ease. She took the time to understand my preferences and offered expert advice on what would work best for me. The precision and artistry in her work are truly impressive. My brows look incredibly natural, and I love how they frame my face. The entire process was comfortable, and Kat made sure I was informed every step of the way. If you’re considering permanent makeup, I highly recommend Kat. She is talented, attentive, and truly passionate about her craft. Five stars all the way!
