I have been a member at Amazing Lash Studio, Cherry Hill for at least 7 years. My father passed away and I had to go out of town, so I had to change my appointment that was previously scheduled . I ended up going to the Lawrenceville location. I booked with a master stylist because I have been wearing lashes for a very long time, so I like to have the more experienced lash artist. After Makenna finished my lashes, I told her that I was not happy...the lashes looked extremely short, not balanced and not symmetrical. She kept asking me what did I want her to do to fix it. If you are a master stylist, you should know how to fix it. She attempted to fix it, but it wasn't better. So I just accepted that I had to wait to get back to my regular stylist to get my lashes fixed. Upon checking out, I told the manager that I was unhappy and I didn't think I should have to pay for this service. Not only did she tell me "you got a service, so you owe me money", she charged me the non member price because my location was closed and they had to want they call "pull a package " (charge my card). I asked her to call the owner, who said to me that she thought my lashes looked fine (via picture sent by manager). You have never seen me before so how can you tell me that this was acceptable to "ME"! After 30 minutes of back and forth, I realized they had not intention on rectifying the situation, so I asked her to take off the extra $25 for the volume lashes, she reluctantly did but I still had to pay the $79 instead of $69.
After going back to my regular lash studio, I told my stylist and the manager about my experience at the other location. They told me the lashes the Lawrenceville location used on me were old and my studio haven't used them in over 5 years and the lashes the Lawrenceville stylist used on me were equivalent to a 12mm ... I usually wear 14mm. So why didn't the Lawrenceville stylist see the difference in the length of the lashes I had on versus the ones she were using? And the base of the old lashes were flat and thick which made them lay different. It was obvious to see they were two different lashes, as a master stylist you should know how to compensate for the difference. Also the glue they used must have been old as well, it burned my eyes for at least 5 minutes. I never had a reaction to the glue at my regular studio. This was a horrible experience on top of me being emotional after losing my father. This location used old, subpar products. They all need training. The owner and manager needs to learn Business 101...you never let someone leave angry and unhappy! The stylist needs more training as well. I own a hair salon not far from that location and I was just telling a client about the franchise and recommended she go to Lawrenceville. After this experience, I called her and told her not to go.
The owner responded to my Google review and said I was offered several options for a resolution. That is entirely false! She took off $10 master fee...but still wanted me to pay $25 volume fee + $79 non member refill fee. After 30 minutes...I asked her to take off the $25 volume fee...which she did and reluctantly. But I still had to pay her $79 instead of $69.
She also stated that I refused an upgrade due to cost. That is totally false! I pay for what I want and I have no problem paying for services because I am in the beauty industry too. No upgrade was offered or needed. I get hybrid volume lashes. The lashes were old. The glue was questionable. And the owner responded to my complaint with lies to cover up how badly this situation was handled. And she stated that it took me 3 weeks to write a review. MY FATHER PASSED AWAY AND THATS THE REASON I HAD TO CHANGE MY APPOINTMENT IN THR FIRST PLACE!
I plan to report this incident to the corporate office of Amazing Lash Studio as well. read more
