Getting here from El Cajon
Anna Kara's Permanent Makeup Studio is at 1357 7th Ave, Suite C, San Diego, CA 92101. From El Cajon the drive is about 16 miles and roughly 20 minutes without traffic, going I-8 west, then CA-125 and CA-94 into downtown. East County clients reach the studio on freeways the whole way. Rush hour can add time, so build in a buffer for your appointment slot.
Arrival. Ring the doorbell at the top right of the door. Street parking is right in front of the studio, $2.50 per hour with a 2-hour maximum. For longer appointments, you can step out and re-feed the meter.
What your appointment includes
- A consultation and brow mapping. The artist designs the shape with you before any pigment is used, so you approve the brows first.
- A topical numbing cream for comfort.
- The procedure itself, about 2 hours 30 minutes in total.
- Aftercare instructions for the healing weeks. See our eyebrow aftercare guide.
Healing takes 7 to 14 days at first and about 4 to 6 weeks to complete. A touch-up is done 4 to 6 weeks after the first visit, which means a second trip to San Diego.
People often search for microblading. We do not use a manual blade. Our technique is Nano Brows, also called nano hair strokes: a permanent makeup machine with a micro-needle draws hair-like strokes. Read how it works on the Realistic Nano Hairstrokes page, see microblading in San Diego, or compare all services on the price page.
