Through it all, she was professional and organized and really pleasant to be around. She has an amazing attitude and a disarming personality, which is great because I tend to be awkward :) Her studio is so cute, and is in a great location in the fan. I felt really relaxed while getting my makeup done in the studio. When she came out to meet me at my wedding venue, she was ready to go and all setup by the time I got there. She breezed through makeup for the girls and had my makeup done on time, as promised. I felt amazingly beautiful both times she did my makeup, but especially so on my wedding day. The airbrush foundation that she uses really does last 8 hours. I was still getting compliments on my makeup by the end of the night, and it was a loooong day! I had never had my makeup done professionally before planning my wedding, but Candance has made me a believer!

Candance and Angel were wonderful!!!…read more I had the two of them come and do hair and makeup for me and my three bridesmaids and they were punctual, professional, efficient and so much fun! It only took them 2.5 hours to do hair and makeup for all 4 of us and they seemed so at ease. They made the morning of my wedding so wonderful and the final product was fantastic! I loved that they asked questions of each bridesmaid- what they envisioned, if they wanted fake lashes, etc. They really listened and we all were really happy with the final product. Candance was also very flexible with me- I was planning my wedding from 3 hours away so Candance and I communicated via phone and email. She also only requested a 50% deposit on the services at the time of booking. This was a nice concession I wasn't finding with other services. I highly, highly recommend Candance and Blush n Bronze for at-home hair and makeup- she was a pleasure to work with! Thanks, Candance!

I loved the natural look of her lash application, her contouring ability, and her overall attention to detail. I was especially impressed by my trial, which Stephanie hosted in her immaculate studio in a very professional manner. When I asked for a slightly different look following my trial, she was incredibly accommodating and achieved the vision perfectly! Stephanie is beyond talented, and I would recommend Hertel Beauty to any bride in the Richmond or Charlottesville area.

Not only is she a smart and interesting person, she also does a great job with lashes and runs her business with serious finesse. I went in with a plan to get the basics but she heard me out that I like drama and hooked me up with 3D and some 5D sprinkled in for a personalized look. It ended up taking much longer than expected because of that, so she refunded me 20%. A few days later, she refunded me another 10%, because it "wasn't sitting well" with her. She was even responsive to my texts on a Friday night when I had questions about caring for my lashes. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. I won't go anywhere else for my lashes from now on. Briana, I love you!!!!

I recently moved to Richmond. Before I moved, my friend (a lash specialist) had done my lashes a…read morecouple of times. I really loved having her do my lashes, but the distance made it necessary for me to find someone in the area to do my lashes if I wanted to continue having them done. I used Yelp to find luxe lashes. I booked an appointment with Anastasia. My first two times at luxe were a great experience, had no issues with the lashes. The third appointment was on Dec 23rd. It honestly seemed sorta short, I was wondering how my lashes were done so quickly. Well by the morning of Christmas, I realized all of my lashes were coming out. It was crazy- they were literally falling out in clumps in the middle of me talking to my patients! Which was sorta embarrassing. By the next morning they were almost completely gone, only the amount I had before the fill was left. I called luxe to ask what could be done. I was offered a free appointment for my lashes to get redone. I was leaving the area that day, and wouldn't be back until after the holidays, which was the whole reason I got my lashes done. After that I was scheduled for two months of 80hr work wks so I really didn't need lashes for that. Explained my situation and asked for a refund. By this point, it was clear no wanted to remedy my situation. I had to keep calling. Eventually I got in touch with the owner. Our whole convo I felt that she was accusing me of being the reason the lashes fell out (i.e. asking me if I showered or cried). However at the end of the convo she said she would refund me. The next day I was back home for the holidays. My friend looked at my lashes and said they had fallen out because they were placed way too far out on my lashes, and not enough glue was used. She removed the few left for me .... It's been over two weeks since then. I've called 2-3x to ask where my refund is. Refunds don't take over two weeks. I still feel like I'm being blamed for a bad lash job, and I feel that luxe cares more about money than making sure they do a good job.

She was a nice person and I was hoping I found someone I could stick with, but no, I have not. I'm really surprised about my experience since I decided to go see her based on the glowing reviews here and the experience she claims to have. This is why I felt like I had to leave a honest review. ------ Update: its been less than a week, and she has used too much glue and didnt smooth it out, the glue is clumpy and has sharp edges, it pokes my eyelids no matter how gently I touch them.

Please *note* I bought the "Full set Xtreme Eye Lash Extension" Groupon for much cheaper price than it is now. The inside of Lash Studio by Elle was very posh, clean and cute. There was coffee, and some chocolate in the sitting area. The studio was very clean and beautifully decorated. The certified Xtreme Lash stylist, Amber, was very nice and very informative about the difference between Xtreme lashes and other lashes. I've gotten my eyelashes done many times before in NYC. I was hoping Amber would be my monthly go-to eyelash stylist but unfortunately, my first visit and I wasn't 100% satisfied with the results. I am going to give a fair and honest review so here's why: I showed Amber a couple of pictures of how I want my eyelashes from Lash Studio's own Instagram and Facebook pictures of their before and after Eyelash extensions. I was very impressed with the photos Lash Studio by Elle had (hence why I bought the Groupon). The photos display women with long AND thick lashes. However when Amber asked me what I wanted and I showed her pics from their own website, she said she cant do volume/thickness, she can only "lengthen my eyelashes to give it a mascara effect"... Problem was that I already have naturally long eyelashes, I needed volume... I wanted her to be able to work with my type of eyelashes but she seemed to only know how to work with people who have eyelashes similar to hers which are short eyelashes. I even showed her a picture of two ladies on their company's website to indicate that's exactly what I want but Amber said I'd have to pay her an EXTRA $20 for VOLUME and THICKNESS on my eyelashes. I expressed what I want, as I've had previous eyelash stylist in NYC give me thick voluminous eyelash extensions many times before for the same price, and within the same amount of time. Amber repeated she can make it thick for $20 more otherwise she's just going to add eyelashes for length purposes and that she would try her best. (sigh) I laid down hoping for the best, like any girl on her first visit to a salon. After 3 very still tiring hours, I notice she did a nice job but not a great job. Her work was nice enough for me not to say anything negative, but not nice enough for me to want to come back to do it again. I know she tried her best,as putting on Eyelashes is very tedious and takes lots of patience on both ends, so the 3 stars I've given are going into Amber's effort, the interior decor of the studio, and the friendly atmosphere. Thanks for trying Amber, I appreciate your effort. For everyone else, I added updated pictures of how my eyelashes look on day 9.
