I feel so lucky to have found Cindy after a long search before getting eyelash extensions for the first time. That was a few months ago, and now I look forward to my appointment every 3-4 weeks. Cindy is an artist with eyelashes, after reading reviews of other salons, I was a bit tentative about possible pain during the procedure. After the first few minutes, I realized I was in trustworthy, magical hands and spent the next 35-40 minutes feeling almost nothing, as I chatted with Cindy. Her quick, precise movements almost make it hard to believe anything is happening, that is until I get to open my eyes at the end and look in the mirror to see the longest and most beautiful lashes I've ever seen on myself. If I could only pick one professional beauty splurge treatment, this would be it, I honestly would start dyeing and cutting my own hair (which would be a tragedy); but if it came down to choosing, the eyelashes Cindy blesses me with would win every time. My biggest issue (which isn't one really at all) is deciding whether or not to admit to people that they are extensions when they compliment me on my long lashes. I can't even believe how many random people notice my lashes now, and mention how lucky I am; and when I tell them the lashes are all thanks to Cindy's handiwork and not nature, people are genuinely shocked. But, to be honest, I love that if I do decide to keep quiet about not 'being born with it' and just accept their compliments with a smile, they are none the wiser. I could seriously go on and on about all the reasons I drive all the way from Long Beach to go to Blink every few weeks; but honestly you should go find out for yourself... just don't be surprised when Cindy's eyelash extensions become practically a necessity in your beauty routine. read more

I got a spray tan from Karla and I have gotten a lot of compliments! No one has even guessed that it was a spray tan. Even my mom, who is against the idea of spray tanning told me I looked tan and was stunned when I told her it was a spray tan. Karla really listens to what color you want to be and does a great job spray tanning you. My feet and hands look great, which can be problem areas if you have a spray tan. Karla is also super sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. I will be back. read more

The ladies were so sweet and I felt really comfortable here. I got a full set of eyelashes and I love them. I have been struggling for a few years now to find a good lash artist. My lashes are full and sexy. She listened to what I wanted and did just that. Im looking forward to getting my brows done here. I am so excited that I have found a place where I can get my waxing and eyelash needs done in one spot! Oh and the prices are very reasonable! Leave yourself a little extra time to find the spot. Its well worth the search, there is lots of parking and once you open the door its such a cute studio! read more

I've been doing lash extensions since 2009 - have tried places all over LA and OC and hands down this place is the best! Karla has been doing my lashes for 3 years on the reg and I have only had an exceptional experience every single time. They will bend over backwards to fit you in if you have a last minute event come up - Karla genuinely cares about her clients. The service, the amazing results, the ambiance, cleanliness and attention to detail are all excellent. Their prices are out of this world for what you get, beyond fair. I refer my friends here all the time and whole-heartedly recommend Blink Studios. read more

What can I say that's good enough about Karla and Blink? She has become an integral part of my life! Im a massage therapist with completely blond eyelashes, and if I wear mascara during a session I walk out looking like a raccoon. Her lashes make me look professional to my clients (better than human actually) and I feel good every time I look in the mirror. She is beyond caring and thoughtful and truly goes the extra mile for her clients. She is detail oriented and explains her process thoroughly. She is often booked in advance, so get in while you can! read more

I'm not big on writing reviews but was compelled to do so. I called Blink Studios a few days before my wedding after an accidental uneven tan at the beach. Karla went out of her way to fit me into here schedule last minute and was so nice and informative. She quickly put me at ease and a few minutes later I had the best tan I have ever had. Thanks so much Blink Studios, you saved the day !!!!!!! Can't say enough about how great Karla was...Muchas gracias !!!!!! read more

Karla is hands down the best. It took me 6 years of average eyelash extensions to find her, and I'll never ever leave. She's a perfectionist. read more

I found Blink Studio after researching it on Yelp. A few weeks ago, I decided to go in to get my lashes down. I have sensitive eyes and I wanted to make sure I chose a professional place. I'm happy to say the Yelp reviews were accurate and this place is amazing. Not only do my lashes look awesome but the price was reasonable too. I spent $150 for mink lashes and after two weeks, they still look great! Love it! read more

I'm really disappointed in the service I received. I've been going to a place in Oakland for about a year now and moved back to the South Bay for work so needless to say I was looking for a new lash lady. The woman I made an appointment with at blink was late when I got there. She tried her best to be accommodating but the lash set she put on me got a lot of glue in my eyes and on the lashes. When I left my eyes were still burning. By the end of the day my lashes were really crunchy and half of the lashes were really stiff and stuck together. It really hurt when I shut my eyes or blinked hard. I thought I would give it another day to get use to them but they hurt and bothered me so much I had to call them to try to get them removed but they were closed for the next 2 days. When someone called me 3 days later I was out of town and asked if I can get in at the end of the week but but no one responded back to my text. By the end of the week when I pressed on my lashes each one of them would fall off. I was overly charged for these lashes and it was definitely not worth it. The ladies were really nice and friendly but I was very dissatisfied with my lashes. read more

Ladies (and gentlemen, too), WHAT is not to love about Blink? Nada. Their prices are not only totally reasonable, and their service warrants another star! And it's so cute!! I've been there twice so far and here is what I have to say. Tanning: I went to Karla for a custom spray tan- it was even (yippie!) and lasted a long time (I got several compliments on it as well!) and I was so comfortable chatting away with Karla who is super sweet and easy to get along with. I am so happy that I found someone to spray me!! Where has she been hiding all this time?! GO to Karla!!! I mean, who doesn't want to look super hot right before summer?! Brows: Cindy.Is.The.Best. She is the best person to have touched my brows. Period, end of story. I have thick eyebrows and they have been waxed, threaded, plucked (you say pluck, right?) and I have never had a person as talented as Cindy. She is a perfectionist, they look amazing, and I almost fell asleep when she was doing them. Soooo...stop reading my review and go see them!!!! Woohooo Blink!! Manhattan Beach just got a whole lot hotter!!! read more

Booked an appointment for my girlfriend as a gift for Valentine's day and Karla and Cindy took great care of her. I would definitely recommend and use their services again! read more

I feel sooooo lucky to have found Cindy! I am a surfer and my lashes go through what I would consider a battle, in wash machine-like conditions of the ocean, four times a week. Not to mention that I don't have much in the way of lashes to begin with. But somehow Cindy works her magic and I walk out there looking, and more importantly, feeling, glamorous. So you see, surfer girls can feel pretty, both in and out of the water! Thanks Cindy!!! read more

If you're looking for exceptional service with quality products at a reasonable price, then look no further! Blink Studios is nothing short of amazing! I won't let anyone else do my lashes except Karla. She takes the time to understand what look her clients are going for and flawlessly executes their wishes. Like any other beauty service, you have to take care of those lashes! If you follow her instructions on how to care for your lashes, you shouldn't have any problems. I'm the worst at following instructions, so if I can anyone definitely can! :) Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone & everyone!! read more

Felt the need to update since I've been seeing Karla for my tan for over a year now..... Best best tan ever! She's fast, efficient and a super sweetheart. Prices are so reasonable... Now go get yourself all tanned up!! read more

I'd never done anything like this. I have a really bad problem with people applying anything to my eyes. When I came in the girls here were super nice. When they started the procedure, I started to freak out. I was embarrassed & had I been them, I would of just let me leave. But no, the were very patient & suggested ways to calm me down, They waited for "a while" until I was ready to try again. And I was able to get my eyelashes done!! I would recommend them to all my friends! & thats saying a lot because my friends know how nutty I am. Thanks Blink for putting up with me & being so nice about it :) :) read more

I am a HUGE Blink Studio fan. I have had both eyelash extensions and waxing done and they are by far the BEST in both of these areas. I have to admit, I was pretty nervous to get eyelash extensions the first time. I had never had them before, but had been desperately wanting to try them because I have pathetically short, sparse lashes of my own. After reading the rave reviews for Blink Studio, I decided to give them a try. I AM SO HAPPY I DID!! Karla did my eyelash extensions and she is beyond AMAZING. Karla immediately put my fears at ease. She explained everything she was doing and why. I loved that. Not only did she take the time to explain everything she was doing, but she also explained the products - the different types of lashes, the different types of glue and the trade-offs for each of these things. I love that she took the time to educate me, which made me feel even more comfortable and at ease. While I very much appreciate the time Karla took to educate me on lashes, the most important thing was how the lashes looked and felt. I have to tell you Karla was meticulous in her application of the lashes and boy do I reap the benefits of the pride she takes in her work. My lashes are flawless every time I go!! Karla is able to make my lashes long, full, beautiful and she does it in a way that makes my extensions look like my real lashes! I have received so many compliments on my lashes, but the biggest compliment is the fact that people are always shocked when I tell them my lashes are extensions. I love having eyelash extensions, but I love even more that people think they are actually my real banging lashes! Since I had been so happy with my eyelash extensions, I decided to get my waxing done at Blink too. Cindy is awesome! It's never fun to get a Brazilian, but she puts you immediately at ease and she's very thorough, but quick! That is exactly what I want - do an amazing job and do it quickly :). The other thing is that Cindy does it in a way that makes it last so much longer than other places I've tried. Also, I should mention that the studio is meticulously clean, which is a big deal to me. I'm a bit of a germ freak so I'm hyper-sensitive to sanitizing and cleanliness. This place passes my clean test with flying colors. Just wanted to point this out in case there are others looking for a place that will live up to their standards. Blink Studio is definitely the place for you! I feel so lucky to have found Blink Studio!! I can't say enough good things about it! Once you give Blink Studio a try, you will be a client for life. read more

I am so grateful I found Blink Studio! After seeing many friends don beautiful eyelash extensions I couldn't wait to get some myself. I went to Blink, where they all happily go, and was more than pleased with my experience. I met with Karla who gave me beautiful lashes that feel like I am wearing nothing at all! Karla is also very personal, funny and easy to talk to while she was putting in the extensions. The studio is very clean, friendly and flexible. I am going to book a spray tan with Karla soon, another one of her specialties. I highly recommend anyone looking for eyelash extensions that aren't overdone but perfectly classy to try Blink! read more

Karla and Cindy are the ultimate pair - as they deliver on the spray tan AND the lashes (oh and also waxing and eyebrows). A great one stop shop - under the radar - and chill. Parking is easy in the back and free. The salon is clean and well run. I love that you can book online and even text for appointments! I highly recommend these two - you will get hooked! read more

OMG!!!!! I love Karla, she is the best! I have never gotten eyelashes before and for the most part, I am a pretty low maintenance kind of girl, but I decided to get eyelashes for a trip to Las Vegas. Karla spent 15 minutes with me talking about what type of eyelash I wanted. I didn't have photos to show her, but she was able to pull up some pics that helped me figure out the exact style that fit my look. Karla was a perfectionist and asked my opinion often. I love my new eyelashes and I would definitely recommend this studio, and Karla in particular, for anyone looking for a natural lash with a subtle wow factor. I got sooo many compliments, and no one mentioned my eyelashes, which to me, is a sign of a true artist. read more

I'm reviewing the spray tan services only! The best spray tan ever. The application is even and the color always looks great. Karla is really friendly and always makes you feel comfortable. The price is good and they offer great packages. I would definitely recommend this place to all girls who want a nice spray tan! read more

Karla is the best !! I have been getting my lashes done for over a year and a half, nothing but PERFECTION! I love the look. My lashes last at least three weeks, I do take very good care of them. I recommend Blink all the time to my friend. This is the only place anyone in the Southbay she get their lashes done. Everywhere I go people comment on my lashes and want to know where I get them done. Thank you Karla for keeping beauty alive. read more

LOVE Blink!! Karla and Cindy are amazing and, while I hate giving away hidden gems, it's just too good not to share. My lashes are now going on 3 weeks and still look amazing. Karla has great attention to detail that always make them look gorgeous, yet natural at the same time. After doing them twice, I'm hooked. Best place on the west side. Hands down! read more

Cindy and Karla are awesome!!! Love my lashes and brows. They are such sweet nice people. Cindy goes above and beyond - using only the best supplies and keeps up knowing the lasted developments. You are in the best of the best hands with Blink! read more

I cant say enough good things about this place. At its core, I continue to come back and back because every time I walk out of the doors I feel more glamorous, and more beautiful than the last time. Karla, the co-owner of this magical studio, is a gifted beautician who understands the shape of my face and creates an amazing composition of eyelash extensions each and every time. As for tans, Karla wants you to look hot! she gets every corner and makes sure her work is perfect before you leave! The staff wants you to look good, and if it takes an extra 5 minutes on their clock, they do it no questions asked! I am incredibly welcomed each time by their lovely staff and cute dog! My business is appreciated, and I will continue to go back! read more

Love, love, love. I seriously can't say enough good things about Blink. The ladies, the atmosphere, the pup. I have been going there for over a year and I absolutely love it. I get my lashes done regularly with Karla and she does such an amazing job. Karla knows exactly what I need and what I like, she really knows how to work her beauty magic. She gives me the natural, but glam look that I want. I've gotten a tan there a few times and I come out with the most natural tan and love that it's sugar based (no chemicals). I also get my wax done by Cindy and she is fantastic. It's always so much fun in the studio chatting and laughing while I'm getting beautified. I can't even imagine going anywhere else, these ladies are truly the best at what they do and I can confidently say that they are the best in LA....and the parking is free! read more

Love, Love, Love this place and Karla. Let me start by saying Karla is so sweet and explained everything she was going to do. Gave great instructions and aftercare. She is a total professional. It felt like I had known her for years. So comfortable. The tan looks awesome. I cannot tell you how happy I am with it. Will definitely be back and refer my friends and family, read more

My lashes are amazing! Cindy does a great job and has the magic touch. My lashes lasted for 10 days and still looked great after ocean and pool swims. All you have to do is follow Cindy's instructions and care for your eyes and lashes by using gentle non oil eye/face wash and don't pick (tempting once they start growing out). Cindy knows how to make your eyes pop--gorgeous and perfect for vacation (when you don't want to deal with make-up maintenance) or every day. read more

I love Blink Studio! I went for my second spray tan from Karla, and I am very happy with the results, just like last time. Karla is very sweet and welcoming, and she even remembered me, and it's been ages since I last went in. I will definitely keep going to Blink Studio for my spray tans, and maybe I will try the false lashes some time soon :) read more

I love my lashes....and my spray tan looks amazing. I have only gotten compliments. The girls are very professional and I felt very comfortable with them. read more

IM A BLINK ADDICT! I work in fitness and found it really hard to feel "girly" with constant top knots and sweaty clothes. So I decided to go for mink extensions and i haven't looked back since. Karla is amazing, she's as fun and enjoyable as she is talented. She really masters her craft and importantly cares about the integrity of your natural lashes. Im the kind of girl thats like MORE MORE MORE- which she always gives me but she is very careful to not hurt my natural in the process and lets me know when we need to scale back on the weight in my natural lash shedding process. I also love that I get a new full set every 3-4 weeks for a fill price, the membership deal cannot be beat and it helps to preserve my real lashes. Karla and Tiffany are always professional and prompt, the studio is clean and they are very accommodating and kind. I always walk out feeling great, its made a huge difference in my daily routine - and considering how much I sweat daily I cannot believe how well my lashes stay put - they do such an amazing job with application its worth every penny and I love just going there to see the girls :) read more

WARNING: if your lashes fall out or are done incorrectly here, Karla will then turn you away saying it's 100% your fault!! Do your research before you commit to a lash tech, especially here if you want customer service. I got a new set and more than 70% of my lashes came out of one eye the next day after following ALL the after care instructions. Karla proceeded to tell me how I'm "just not a good candidate for lash extensions, ya know?!" Over and over and was opposed to "squeeze me in" to fix them (after paying over $150 plus 25% tip!) She then chewed my ear off the entire time I layed there telling me it was My fault, my products, I'm too oily (actually I have dry skin!), I'm not a good candidate, over and over for an hour+. Also note I was NEVER given any FREE lashes and she only fixed them after they were screwed up once! I then was booked for a fill 2.5 weeks later and when I called the day before to confirm she said I wasn't in their books and I'm just not a good person to get lashes!! WTF?! Well guess what? I found a new person thru a referral in Manhattan beach who redid them for me with NO PROBLEM and made them exactly like a photo Blink told me I couldn't achieve, all the while none have come out and she focuses on the integrity of the lashes while keeping a relaxing environment..SO guess it wasn't ME. Really too bad about this experience because I am asked for referrals all the time and I wouldn't have taken the time to write this if I didn't feel so mistreated!!! read more

I have never been on Yelp to write a review, only to read them. However, after going to Blink Studio I felt that it was really important to let everyone know what an incredible job Karla and Cindy do. I had been through more spas than you can imagine in the South Bay looking for a great spray tan and more importantly a great place for brows. These two are as good as they get and I can promise you...you won't be disappointed. You will know exactly what I mean after one visit. read more

Fabulous and accommodating. Adorable, homey, comfortable suite. Located in the back building as heads up. Cindy helped take care of bad set previously applied and my lashes know look amazing. She's also super experienced so she's able to expedite the process. I was out in an hour!! Karla, Cindy's sister, was also super sweet. Can't wait to go back! read more

I never write a review but I must for this place! If you're looking for a spray tan in the South Bay DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE! Karla is amazing and very friendly, makes you feel comfortable right away. You can't beat the price for the product and service you get. I always get so many compliments about how natural my spray tan looks. And I am FAIR! Very easy to turn orange, never the case here. If you're searching for a good spray tan, run don't walk to Blink Studio! :) read more

There are lashes and then there are CINDY lashes. I walk in with my wimpy lashes and walk out feeling confident. I can go without makeup because of my CINDY lashes. The atmosphere at Blink is so inviting; it's like going to your girlfriend to enjoy yourself and get your lashes too. I so appreciate that I do have to fight for a parking place too. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Carla has such a pleasant and friendly manner that made my daughter and I (who were first time clients) feel very comfortable. She took the time to answer all of our questions very patiently and her place is very, very clean. I would recommend Blink to anyone in the South Bay who is looking for a clean and friendly place to go for a safe tan. We will definitely go back. read more

Blink Studio is outstanding. Cindy and Carla have a fresh up beat attitude that makes others feel right at home. They go the extra step to be helpful and caring. I am all about the lashes and Cindy makes them WOW every time. I can't say enough great things about this studio. If you are not going to Blink! you are missing out on the best you can look for the right price. Cheers! read more

I am so impressed with Blink Studio! I'm not from this area, but I was on a business trip for an extended period and needed a Brazilian wax during my stay. I found Blink Studio online, and when I saw their low price and no double dip policy I decided to give it a try! I called and was given excellent customer service that included personalized direction instructions sent to my email. The service was incredible ! The staff are lovely and welcoming. The Brazilian was the most painless one I have ever had. Mercedes did an amazing job!!! I would most certainly come back again!!! Thank you Blink!!!! read more

Blink is pure perfection! Karla and Cindy are highly skilled and passionate business owners. I have been getting my eyelash extensions done by Karla for over a year. They always last 3 weeks, I wake up up everyday feeling fabulous. I have recommended Blink to many friends who are all so grateful for such an amazing service and experience. If you haven't tried a set of lashes from Blink, you need to give them a call. You will feel like a MILLION bucks! read more

Cindy is a master at eyelash extensions. I get so many compliments and no one even knows they are fake ;-) So Natural, so amazing and so perfect! Blink studio is the best and so convenient to get to and parking is so easy. read more
