Robin Pels did my permanent makeup on my lips!  I'm sooooo happy!  I was born with a very slim lip line and adding a hint of raspberry rose to both the upper and lower lips has made me feel made up even bare faced!  I love it!  Thank you, Robin. And to ease the pain of getting it done, the doctor in residence was able to completely numb my lips with just a few injections of pain medicine. Didn't feel the procedure at all!  And I was meticulous about keeping them slathered with A&D ointment for the first few weeks. Well worth the investment! Read Less

I love my lips by Robin! I've suffered from having thin pale lips most of my life. But with Robins beautiful artistry, she gave me fullness on my upper and lower lip in a fantastic raspberry rose color. I am 100% happy with the results! Read Less

As a new mom, I don't have a lot of time... so I did something I never thought I would.... I got my eyebrows tattooed! Permanent makeup always scared me because I've seen so many bad cases. I did a lot of research and decided to let Robin Pels do her work on me and I couldn't be happier! I don't wear a lot of makeup so it's nice to just leave the house and only need mascara to feel like I don't look like a homeless bum. You don't realize how much your eyebrows frame your face and make you look out together. Highly recommend!!! Read Less

Robin Pels is without a doubt the very best in cosmetic ink. My eyebrows are beautiful and I am so pleased. Her technique is painless and very detailed. I was also impressed with her very high hygiene standards. I have had permanent eyebrows from others in town, and I was disappointed at the results and the pain they caused me.She is also very nice and loves what she does. I will never go to anyone else.

Robin was amazing! Very professional extra nice her knowledge it's wait to high. Her professionalism and experience makes her work awesome.  I truly recommend her as a number one Permanent Makeup Master Artist....! Read Less

Robin did a fabulous job! My eyebrows basically did not exist and what hairs I have are so blond you can't see them. My brows look very natural and she took great care and listened to what I wanted. During my touch up she added a darker color so there is dimension and doesn't look flat and "painted" on. I love them. Read Less

I met Robin some time ago in an advance PM technique course.  We are always striving to bring our clients the newest and best techniques the market has to offer.  She is lovely and her work is top notch.  I highly recommend her for any permanent makeup procedure you are considering.  You will be wondering why you waited so long!

Robin is dedicated to making her clients happy. She does beautiful work and I know first hand as she's given me eyeliner and full lip color. Robin listens to what you want and is a comfort and joy to work with. I highly recommend her! Read Less

Robin is a true professional with over 20+ years of experience and I love that she continues to invest in continuing education with amazing trainers to keep herself fresh and current. Her work is beautiful and you won't be disappointed. Read Less

I've had super light eyebrows my whole life. Every day I put on make-up to darken them. I did a lot of online research and was extremely impressed with Robin's reviews and pictures. She got right back to me and answered all my questions with a straight forward manner. At my appointment I was still so nervous; this was after all permanent and on my face. She talked to me the whole time and worked so expertly. I cannot express how happy I've been with the results. The symmetry, arch and natural look has given me the eyebrows I always wanted! She really is an artist and Sonoma County is so lucky to have her! I can just go out now without makeup and when I swim I still have eyebrows lol! Read Less

I considered doing permanent makeup for over 8 years. I finally decided I was ready so I began researching within the area. I came across Robin and I was sold. During our consultation I immediately felt at ease and trusted her. We started with my eyeliner and a couple months later we did full lip color. Robin is extremely knowledgeable and talented. She was always so responsive with all my questions and concerns. I am thrilled with the outcome! Read Less

So happy I was referred to Robin for eyebrows. What a difference! She is a perfectionist who wants you to be completely satisfied with the end results. She insisted that I come back after 6 weeks to make sure they turned out evenly and the color was good. She touched up in a couple places then assured me to come back if wanted her to do more. (Which isn't necessary.) She is professional, current on all the latest techniques, wants her clients to look their best and is fun and friendly to boot! Highly recommended! Read Less

Eyebrows frame your face. Sparse eyebrows age you and you lose veracity of expression. So what to do? Permanent make-up is a solution. But I have seen so much "bad work". There are also many techniques;  tattoo and mirco-blading are two. I feel fortunate to have found Robin. I consulted 3 people, including someone in San Francisco. I knew I wanted the permanent make-up to mimic real eyebrow hairs. I'm very satisfied with Robin's work. She is a professional. She's also a smart, sassy, and friendly lady. I highly recommend her work. Btw higher cost is not always a good indicator of better work. She just happened to be most affordable of the 3, I consulted. The lady in SF wanted to charge me $1800 to start. And the other person was midway. But I chose Robin because her consult was the best. Thank you Robin! Read Less

I was very pleased with the services offered by Robin. She was very professional and her office was clean and immaculate. When one decides to have a procedure done on their face it can be frightening as to the final results. Robin made me feel very comfortable and explained exactly what was to be done. When she finished I was extremely happy with my eyebrows. I would highly recommend her to any future person who wants perfection. Prior to this appointment I saw another woman who did a poor job on my brows. I truly believe that you get what you pay for in life and having this done correctly was well worth a slightly higher fee. Read Less

WOW! Robin is so awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my eyebrows! She did a great job at covering up a horrible tattoo I had. It has disappeared and I am so happy! So many years of trying to cover that thing up and avoiding the one thing I love; water. THANK YOU SO MUCH ROBIN! Read Less

Robin is a true master in her profession. I've seen horrible permanent makeup jobs and I swore I would never trust anyone to put a needle close to my eyes UNTIL I saw Robins work. I have had my eyebrows & eyeliner done and I'm so happy and I get tons of compliments. I've had people think that my eyebrows were my natural brows. I'll be booking my appointment soon for my lips. Robin is the kindest person with a great personality, that by the time you leave you will feel that you've known her for years. Read Less

I had been contemplating permanent eyeliner for at least 3 years when I finally decided to get serious.  A friend had recommended a different permanent make up artist but of course I don't go any further until I check the reviews on yelp which happened to be mixed.  But during the course of my research I stumbled upon Robin Pels of Cosmetics Ink.  After a scan of her reviews and inviting website, I made a consultation appointment and never looked back!  From my first encounter and throughout the whole process Robin was responsive, professional, kind and very knowledgeable.  What helps separate Robin from others that do permanent make up is this is ALL she does.  It brought me tremendous comfort to work with someone that does this exclusively and has been doing it for literally decades.  I just got my final touch up and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I have eyes, ALL the time :-) I could go on and on but if you're at all considering getting permanent make up call or email Robin and set-up a consultation, you won't regret it! Read Less

This woman (Robin) is truly an angel. Sweet, down to earth, and completely honest about what can and cannot be achieved.Which unfortunately for me, I did not find her for my first wack at eyebrows. I saw someone else. I was told I couldn't have hair-stroke, that I could only get powder, well okay. Sure. I ended up having to see this person 3 times, 2 of which supposedly were tracing my outline of a brow I wanted. Not even close, 3 times. Said it was normal to have more than 3. IT IS NOT!After being fed up with 3+ sessions of maybe getting what I may or may not want every time and a ton of pain, I went looking for another tattoo artist. To ad to my predicament, my wedding is quickly approaching. 24 days left and no room for anymore guess and checks.I found Robin! Oh my God girl you are the BEST there is. I'm not just saying that out of normal 'thanks' conversation. No, seriously you are the absolutely BEST there is in your trade. Without a doubt, I would be comfortable having you give me any facial cosmetic work by surprise and not doubt your ability one bit! She was able to squeeze me into her busy schedule to fix m brows before my wedding and nail hem on the FIRST TRY. None of this hey lets try for a bunch of sessions.I was able to walk around like it was normal makeup all day and not look like a freak with puffy wack brows. She was so gentle and patient with me as my eyes and sinuses would kinda stuff up a bit. I honestly could have fallen asleep with her working on my brows. Best part? I got my hair stroke just like I wanted with a mix of powder. Oh I'm so happy.Woke up this morning to this glamorous eyebrows on 24/7 fleek. And they're not even a little swollen or sore at all!Oh my Lord, Robin, you have talent. I cannot thank you enough, really I cannot. I could honestly message you every day and say thank you. You have my business and friendship for life! Read Less

Robin has an excellent eye for color, shape and symmetry and she proved so by doing an excellent job on my eyebrows. Since I am permanent cosmetic artist and can't do my own work, I trust Robin and her abilities to do mine! Thank you for sharing your gift with Sonoma County! Read Less

This is the person who you want to do your permanent eyebrows. I've wanted to do this for sooo long and I finally decided to do it. I looked around and chose Robin because of her great  reviews, and I was not disappointed. I had my eyebrows done on September 18th. I did't have any redness at all. It's now only 10 days later and I'm wondering why I waited so long to have this done. My eyebrows used to be a goofy mess and they didn't ever match, but Robin made them look symmetrical and beautiful. It's so nice not to have to even think about shaping them anymore, putting on eyebrow pencil, or worring about rubbing it off. My eyebrows look really good. I have very fair skin and blondish brown eyebrows, so I was at first worried about getting this done and having very fake-looking brows. No need to have worried! Robins does them like individual hairs, which is the best way to do it. If you want to get permanent eyebrows done, go see Robin! Read Less

I have had my eyebrows done by someone else before and unfortunately, they eventually turned peach all around the edges.  I don't even wear the color peach and I really don't want peach eyebrows!  I decided to go Robin based on her reviews and photos.  She did a great covering the peach with what looks like brown hairs.  Her hair stroke method looks much more natural than what I had before.  They even look good while healing, to the point that I went on a date a few hours after getting them done and didn't give it a second thought because they looked great!  I'm a teacher and my teenage students noticed the difference enough to tell me my eyebrows look good.  So Robin gets the teenage girl seal of approval, what more do you need?!

Robin is amazing! I have had my upper and lower eyeliner and eyebrows done by her. She has many years of experience, is extremely professional and unbelievably talented. I'm so glad I went to Robin she is worth every penny! Read Less

I had my permanent eyeliner done in 2002 by Robin and it is still flawless to this day. I am needing my lips done so I will be making a trip up to Santa Rosa Cosmetics Ink because she is one of the few that works with a doctor or nurse for the lip block. Love my eyeliner still Read Less

I had Robin Pels at Santa Rosa Cosmetics Ink do my eyebrows,eyeliner and lips because I am a nurse and work nights. Makes my life so much easier. 28 years of experience and education shows in her work. Thank you for everything. Read Less

I had permanent lash liner applied to my eyes in 2006.  It has since completely faded away.  I tried to have it reapplied by yet another nameless individual, and was disappointed with the almost invisible finished work.  Then Robin opened her office in Santa Rosa, I JUMPED at the opportunity to get my lash liners reapplied.  When I arrived I was nervous, as years ago it hurt (done by someone else), but just entering Robin's spa-like facility, I forgot the memory of that old, painful experience.  She was thoughtful when she designed this space, creating an atmosphere of calm and inducing trust.Her procedure room is beautifully arranged and relaxing.  Robin uses the highest quality products and no one ... I mean NO ONE else has her talent or flair for perfection.  She doesn't do cookie-cutter work; but looks at each individual and works with her clients to create the desired look.  Excellent service, atmosphere, attention and just an outstanding experience.  I'm a very satisfied client.

When I heard Robin was moving back up to Santa Rosa, I was immediately thinking when can I book my appointment!!! I have known her for at least 20+ years, seen her work and would not trust anyone else to do permanent makeup on me! She books up quickly and as soon as I can get myself up to Northern California, she is on my list!!! Read Less
