Choosing Your Permanent Makeup Appointment Location at Bareface
Bareface Beauty Studio has two permanent makeup appointment locations: Irvine and Newport Beach. Irvine lists appointments seven days a week at 4940 Irvine Blvd, Suite 111. The Newport Beach private room is at 930 West Coast Hwy, Suite 9, with appointments listed for Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Both are by appointment only. For visitors from Irvine, Newport Beach and Orange County, the best starting point is the combination of artist, service and date that fits the treatment you are considering. Orange County describes the wider area served, rather than a third studio.
If you have already saved a photograph of brows, lips or eyeliner that you love, keep it handy. The next step is to identify whose work it is. Opening the nearest booking page first can be convenient, but it can also lead you to an appointment with a different artist from the one whose portfolio brought you to Bareface.
The Irvine and Newport Beach appointment details at a glance
The two booking pages give different location details and service lists. Use them as the source for the appointment you intend to attend, then check the confirmation for the final address, artist and time. Listed operating days do not guarantee that a particular slot is available.
Studio | Address shown on the booking page | Listed appointment days |
Irvine | 4940 Irvine Blvd, Suite 111, Irvine, CA 92620 | Seven days a week, by appointment only |
Newport Beach private room | 930 West Coast Hwy, Suite 9, Newport Beach, CA 92663 | Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, by appointment only |
The Irvine booking list and Newport Beach booking list remain separate. If you switch between them while comparing dates, check the location heading again before selecting a service. Similar treatment names can appear in both lists.
Keep the suite number with the street address when making your travel arrangements. A saved destination for the business name alone is less useful than the address on your actual appointment confirmation. If you need details about parking, building access or accessibility, confirm those with the studio before the visit; the service list does not provide enough information to assume them.
Choose the brow artist before choosing the appointment location
Bareface introduces Kate, Marinda and Ann individually, with different portfolios and named offerings. The artist overview helps connect a style you have seen to the person offering it. That is especially useful with brow services, where several names can sound similar while referring to different work.
Kate's Hyper-realistic Nano Brows have listings at both studios
Kate's Classic Nano Brows, Hyper-realistic Nano Brows and Hyper-realistic Nano Brows with Shading appear in both location lists. Her signature Hyper-realistic service uses three brown tones, and the shading version adds background definition. If that is the work you are considering, select the corresponding named service rather than a different nano appointment based only on the word “nano.”
Her consultation also has location-specific entries: $49 in Irvine and $69 in Newport Beach on the current menu. Both describe a design consultation. Review Kate's introduction and her portfolio first, then compare the location and date that work for the visit you need.
Marinda's Feathery Combo Brows lead to the Irvine list
The current Irvine page includes consultation with Marinda, Feathery Combo Brows by Marinda and other service entries. The Newport Beach list does not currently show the same Marinda consultation and Feathery Combo entries. If her work is your reference, begin with Irvine or ask the studio about her current availability instead of assuming the other location offers an interchangeable appointment.
Imagine saving one of Marinda's Feathery Combo Brows examples, then finding a convenient Newport Beach nano slot. The photograph may still be useful as a preference reference, but changing the artist changes the conversation. Identify that choice before you book, rather than discovering it when you arrive.
Ann's Nano Brows have their own location-specific appointments
Nano Brows by Ann are listed separately from Kate's services. Ann's nano appointment appears in both location lists. Her profile also describes powder brows, lip and eye services, so check the actual service entry when arranging a visit with her.
Even the time allocation can differ by listing: the current Irvine entry allows four hours for Ann's Nano Brows, while Newport Beach shows three hours. Do not treat that as a promise that one location will finish your procedure faster. Use the duration shown for your selected appointment and clarify any uncertainty with the studio before building another commitment around it.
Lip and eye appointments also need a service-and-artist match
Lip Blush and Eyeliner Tattoo appear in both location lists, but the lists are not identical. Irvine also shows a separate Lashline Tattoo entry. If you are looking for a particular eye service in Newport Beach and do not see it, ask about that service rather than selecting a differently named procedure to reserve a time.
The lashline and eyeliner comparison explains why the distinction matters visually. A subtle lash-area accent and a more visible eyeliner line can represent different preferences. The appointment should reflect the discussion you want to have, rather than whichever entry happens to have the most convenient opening.
For lip color, begin with the Lip Blush gallery and the artist's own examples. The shared gallery does not mean that every image belongs to every artist. If a particular result is your reference, ask whose work it is and which service was performed.
A service example can guide the artist discussion, but it does not identify an appointment location. Confirm the artist and studio separately.
That distinction is particularly useful when you are arranging more than one type of treatment. A brow consultation does not automatically settle a lip-color plan, and two services may require separate discussions or visits. Mention the services you are considering, then let the studio explain the appropriate appointment sequence instead of combining bookings on an assumption.
The current lists allocate two and a half hours for Lip Blush and two hours for Eyeliner Tattoo. Those entries are different from the 55-minute consultation visits shown elsewhere. If your main question is whether a certain lip color or eye-line style would suit you, describe that uncertainty before selecting a full procedure. The studio can clarify which appointment allows for the conversation you need. A time slot with the right service name still needs to match whether you are ready for treatment or first seeking an assessment.
A consultation is a different visit from a full brow procedure
If you are still deciding on shape or technique, the consultation may be the appointment you need first. Bareface's published consultation includes a washable brow design that can be worn home, with a standard procedure scheduled on a separate day. The location lists show 55-minute consultation appointments.
By comparison, Kate's standard brow procedure entries allow three hours for Classic Nano Brows, three and a half hours for Hyper-realistic Nano Brows and four hours for the shading version. The difference matters when you plan transport, time away from work or another appointment afterward. A consultation slot should not be treated as a shorter version of the full procedure.
The brow consultation walkthrough explains how to prepare reference photos and describe the changes you want. You can work through those questions before deciding which studio is more convenient. For someone who is nervous about a new shape, time to consider the washable design may be more useful than immediately finding a procedure slot.
Newport Beach also lists a VVIP Hyper-Realistic Nano Brows package with consultation and touch-up among its inclusions. Treat that as a separate booking option with its own arrangements. Confirm how the visits work rather than assuming the standard consultation-and-procedure sequence applies unchanged.
Match the permanent makeup location to your actual calendar
A reader who can attend only on Sunday should notice that Irvine lists seven-day appointments, while Newport Beach lists Monday, Friday and Saturday appointments. That does not establish whether the preferred artist has an open Sunday. It simply identifies which published schedule is the better place to start checking.
Another reader may have a weekday free but want a very specific artist. In that case, find the correct artist-and-service entry first, then compare dates. Choosing a location because it is convenient and only afterward checking who will perform the work reverses the decision that matters most to the desired result.
Allow for the full appointment allocation, along with travel that you estimate for your own route and day. The website does not establish a reliable journey time between the studios or from your home. Avoid placing another fixed commitment immediately after a procedure if it would leave you rushing the design discussion.
Think about the following days as well. Bareface's eyebrow aftercare instructions describe an initial period without workouts or swimming. A convenient appointment location does not make an unsuitable recovery week easier. If your plans include a trip, regular swimming or important photographs, discuss the timing before choosing the treatment date.
Consider later visits at the same time. Someone who can reach Newport Beach easily on a Friday may find another day more convenient for a follow-up. Check the artist's available arrangements before assuming that a later visit can simply move to Irvine. The two locations belong to the same studio business, but that does not make every artist, appointment type and time interchangeable. Keep the original artist and treatment in the discussion so the follow-up relates to the work already performed. Planning that route early can be more helpful than choosing the first visit solely by the shortest journey.
Keep the deposit terms with the appointment you selected
The current Irvine booking page describes a $49 appointment deposit, while Newport Beach displays a $49–$69 range. Both pages explain refund or transfer conditions and a minimum 24-hour cancellation or rescheduling notice. Read the terms displayed for your specific booking and save the confirmation.
The service price list separately describes consultation fees and credit toward a later procedure. If you are unsure whether a payment is a consultation charge, deposit or procedure balance, clarify it before paying. Similar amounts do not necessarily represent the same part of the appointment.
If you decide to change locations after booking, ask the studio to confirm the new address, artist, service and payment arrangement. Moving a date is not necessarily the same as moving an appointment between studios. The useful outcome is one clear confirmation, rather than two different location emails that leave you guessing which one applies.
Send the studio the appointment question it can actually answer
A focused question can include the artist you prefer, the service you are considering, the location you can attend and the dates that work. If you have previous permanent makeup, mention it as well. Bareface's FAQ requests clear bare-brow photographs when assessing earlier brow work, because that starting point may affect the appointment needed.
For example, someone with old microblading and an unwanted tail should describe that concern before selecting a routine touch-up. Someone interested in lip color should distinguish a new treatment from work over existing pigment. These details help the studio respond to the real request instead of only confirming whether an empty time slot exists.
Skin conditions, allergies or medical questions also deserve attention before treatment. The American Academy of Dermatology encourages informed decisions about permanent makeup. Choosing a convenient studio does not replace an appropriate assessment when a health concern needs resolving.
Before the visit, put one short line in your calendar: the artist, the exact appointment name and the full street address with suite number. Check it against the confirmation. Once those details agree, you can spend the appointment talking about the result you want instead of sorting out where, with whom or for what you booked.
