Home of the loved and lauded ‘fluffy brow,’ Studio Sashiko now performs brow magic at its new Los Angeles boutique in the heart of the thriving downtown arts district.
For the past few years, micro-blading, along with other techniques of permanent brow and makeup applications, has surged in popularity and is a must for those who desire the full-bodied, glamorous brows so ubiquitous on social media and ad campaigns. Those luscious brows you see on models are the result of a painstaking application and dye process, not merely genetic good fortune.
Just like the entertainment industry, brow artistry has its A-listers, and Studio Sashiko stands alone as the most sought-after brow destination in North America, if not the world. Based in Langley, British Columbia, Studio Sashiko and founder Shaughnessy Otsuji regularly receive customers from around the globe for their unparalleled brow artistry. In fact, appointment slots are booked within minutes of announced availability. In addition, the tranquil, art-forward space emulates a more spa-like experience than the average permanent makeup storefront.
