Westwood studio · 10 minutes from Brentwood
Nano brows, powder brows and lip blush by Alena Bodrova — a one-artist studio on Westwood Blvd, a short drive down San Vicente from Brentwood. Made for days that start with drop-off and end with pickup.
1334 Westwood Blvd, Suite 11 · Mon–Fri 10am–7pm · Sat–Sun 11am–4pm · 714-440-7425
San Vicente to Wilshire, and you are here
From the Country Mart or anywhere along San Vicente, head east to Wilshire, continue past the VA and turn left onto Westwood Blvd. It is about ten minutes without traffic and rarely more than fifteen.
From the north side of Sunset — Mandeville, Kenter, Bundy — Sunset east to Veteran or Westwood Blvd and south is the quicker way, and it avoids the Wilshire/405 tangle entirely.
The 405 is right there but you do not need it for this trip; surface streets are faster at almost every hour.

Brows that survive a 6am run and a 3pm carpool
A lot of our Brentwood clients are active — morning runs on San Vicente, Pilates, tennis, the beach on weekends — and busy in the middle of the day with kids and work. What they want is to wake up with brows already done and not think about them again.
We mostly recommend nano hair strokes or a soft powder finish for this group. Both hold their shape through sweat and sun once healed, and both can be kept very light. Lip blushing is the second favorite: a bit of color that does not need reapplying between errands.
One thing to plan around: the first 7–10 days after a procedure are no-sweat, no-sun days. If you train hard, book for a week you can go easy — and bring a hat for the walk to the car.
Most booked from Brentwood
Service | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
Nano Eyebrows | $550 | Individual hair strokes that look like brow hair, not makeup. Holds up to running, swimming and sun once fully healed. |
Powder Brows | $440 | A soft, airbrushed fill. The better choice for oily skin or anyone who sweats a lot, because it heals more evenly. |
Lip Blushing | $440 | Even color and a gentle border. Looks like tinted balm, lasts through a full day of errands and school pickup. |
Lash Enhancement | $380 | Pigment tucked between the lashes so the eyes look defined without any liner — good with an active, no-makeup routine. |
Korean Lash Lift | $90 | Curled, tinted natural lashes for six to eight weeks. A quick appointment that pairs well with brows. |
Consultation | $100 · applied to your procedure | Shape and color mapping, plus honest advice on which technique your skin will hold best. Fits between drop-off and pickup. |

Questions from Brentwood clients
Can I fit a procedure between school drop-off and pickup?
Usually yes. A 10 or 10:30am start finishes by 1–1:30pm, which leaves time to get back to Brentwood for a 3pm pickup. Book the earliest slot of the day and tell us your hard stop so we plan the session around it.
I run every morning. When can I train again?
Light activity the same day is fine, but no heavy sweating, swimming or sauna for the first 7–10 days — sweat and water pull pigment out while the skin is healing. Plan the procedure for the start of a lighter week.
Can I have permanent makeup while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. We do not perform any pigment procedures during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. A consultation is fine at any time, and many clients book that first so the procedure is ready to go afterwards.
Will the brows fade faster because I am outside a lot?
Sun is the main reason permanent makeup lightens over time, so yes — outdoor clients usually need a color refresh a little sooner, around 12–18 months instead of 18–24. SPF on the brows once healed slows this down a lot.
Can I bring my kids?
Please don't for the procedure itself. It is a 2–3 hour session in a small suite with sharp tools and numbing agents, and you need to lie still. Consultations with a child in a stroller are fine.
How long is the drive really, with traffic?
San Vicente to Wilshire to Westwood Blvd is about ten minutes most of the day. Between 4 and 6pm add a few minutes for the Wilshire/405 backup, or come via Sunset instead.
I have had microblading before and it faded or blurred. Can you fix it?
Often, yes. We look at what is left of the old pigment and either work over it with a powder technique or, if it has blurred, discuss lightening first. The consultation is where we tell you honestly which is realistic.
When is the touch-up and can I book both at once?
The touch-up is 6–8 weeks after the first session and takes about an hour. We schedule it before you leave the first appointment, so you can lock in another mid-morning slot right away.
