 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough about Inked Beauty Bar and Emily. I’ve pencilled my brows on for 50 years since I don’t have any and Emily did a fantastic job giving me hybrid brows. It’s so nice not to have to worry about getting my brows on straight or having them smudge. I can just get up and go. Emily is so sweet and personable and has done a great job with her business. Don’t wait to book your appointment!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have zero brows, unfortunately. I’ve done microblading COUNTLESS times and got to the point where I just couldn’t take the pain. At Inked Beauty Bar, I did the powder brows. Emily was FANTASTIC. And she really took great care of my sensitive skin. I cannot recommend them enough! Oh — and the pain was next to nothing, which was such a relief.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best week of education at Inked Beauty Bar with Emily (Jan 12–16)! I trained in Powder Brows, Lip Blushing, and Eyeliner, and I left feeling confident and excited to offer these new services to my guests. Emily is incredibly talented and you can truly see how passionate she is about her craft and her students. Her support doesn’t stop after class either—she’s been so helpful and quick to respond anytime I’ve reached out. I highly recommend Emily and Inked Beauty Bar if you’re looking to grow in PMU in 2026!
