In the bustling city of Long Beach, California, an artist with a passion for transforming faces and enhancing natural beauty has captured the hearts of clients seeking flawlessly shaped brows. Shelly Nguyen, owner of Brows By Shelly, has carved a niche for herself in the beauty industry as an expert in permanent makeup. With her keen eye for detail, dedication to customer satisfaction, and commitment to safety and artistry, Shelly stands out as a reputable professional making a significant difference in the lives of her clients — one set of brows at a time.
Shelly’s journey into the world of brows started with a simple curiosity. Although she was originally pursuing a career in dentistry, Shelly found herself captivated by the art of brow shaping. Gradually, her focus shifted, and she dedicated herself full-time to mastering the art of permanent makeup, which eventually became a passion.
“I became captivated by it because although it seemed simple, it turned out to be quite challenging,” she says. “Whenever I encountered something I couldn’t do, I felt a strong desire to try and master it. That’s when I truly fell in love with it and became addicted.”
For Shelly, the joy and fulfillment she derives from her work lie in the transformative power of brows. She believes that brows make a significant difference to one’s face, and she looks forward to using her skills and artistry each day when she goes to work.
“I love doing brows,” Shelly says. “I find it incredibly fulfilling when clients sit up, look at themselves in the mirror, and love what they see.”
With the skillful use of a single needle and a tattoo gun, Shelly achieves remarkable precision and clarity in her work. The resulting outlines elegantly define and accentuate the natural shape of the brows. Through the artful application of tiny pixels, she creates a beautiful packed-on powder effect, leaving her clients with flawlessly polished brows. The entire process is a labor of love, with Shelly taking the time to provide clients with a visual representation of their finished brows before beginning the tattooing process.
“I always have my clients check their brows in the mirror. I want to ensure they are satisfied with the shape before continuing,” she says. “This step provides them with an ideal representation of what their brows will look like, giving them a sense of confidence and reassurance.”
Instead of relying on stencils, Shelly meticulously maps out each client’s unique facial features, including their bone structure, nose shape, eye placement, and temple area. This guarantees a perfectly symmetrical and harmonious shape that complements their face.
“If you were to visit my Instagram page and view my work, you would notice that no two clients have the same brow shape,” Shelly explains.
By dedicating a considerable amount of time to consultations and ensuring mutual understanding before each session, Shelly creates an atmosphere of comfort and collaboration.
Reflecting on her business philosophy and her relationships with her clients, Shelly highlights the importance of trust.
“By the end of the session, we often find ourselves having learned so much about their lives and building a strong rapport with them. This makes my work so meaningful,” she says “I still have clients who have been with me since I started five years ago. It’s amazing to see their loyalty.”
Shelly’s commitment to safety and customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Her studio ensures a hygienic environment and follows the licensing requirements mandated by the Public Health Department. As a self-taught artist, she fulfilled the necessary prerequisites, including a six-month apprenticeship focusing on bloodborne pathogens, proper sanitation practices, and handling bodily fluids. Shelly’s dedication to learning and staying up-to-date goes hand-in-hand with her attention to detail and the trust she has earned from her clients.
Thanks to her passion for her craft, commitment to personalized service, and exceptional skill, Shelly Nguyencontinues to make a lasting impact in the beauty industry and beyond. As trends come and go, Shelly remains dedicated to ensuring her clients leave her studio feeling transformed and confident. Her genuine connection with her clients and the loyalty she has gained throughout her career make Shelly a trusted artist and educator in the industry. With Brows By Shelly, the art of brow transformation has never been more empowering.
