When brow artist Linnie Phan revealed her client's new brows at her Stanton, California studio, the client began to cry tears of joy. The emotional transformation took Phan just two hours, but made a world of difference to her client, who had previously undergone an unsuccessful microblading procedure.

Why it matters

Phan's signature 'Shadowed Strokes' technique, which combines machine hair strokes with soft shading, is designed to create natural-looking brows with more fullness and structure. The client's reaction highlights how important brows can be to one's confidence and self-perception.

The details

The client arrived at Linnie Phan Beauty Studio & Academy with barely-there brows after a previous microblading procedure. After a consultation and brow mapping, Phan transformed the client's brows in just two hours, creating a set of striking, symmetrical, natural-toned brows with ultra-thin hair-like strokes at the front and more defined, tapered curves at the ends.

  • The client booked the 'Shadowed Strokes' service at Linnie Phan's studio in Stanton, California.
  • The brow transformation took approximately two hours to complete.
