I've gotten eyelash extensions countless times at several places around NYC and Albany. Angela, by…read morefar, does the best job. Every other place has been a disappointment and I had a hard time looking for an eyelash spot I really liked enough to stick to before finding her. I have dead straight eyelashes that grow out straight down, making them difficult to work with, which I blamed on my Asian background. Usually, extensions would weigh down on my natural lash, sometimes obstruct my vision, and would fall off quicker. It was hard for me to get a good curl. I saw Get Minked on Yelp and took a chance because I really liked the photos that were posted. Plus, I noticed a wide diversity in her customers. It was super easy to make an appointment online. During my first visit, I explained to Angela my past frustrations with extensions. She said, "they don't know what they're doing. It has nothing to do with you being Asian." Her confidence in her work reassured me, but of course, what really sold me was the end result. Yes, she really does know what she's doing. I got exactly the fullness and curl that I wanted. The lashes are of great quality and are not shiny or fake-looking. They feel soft, fluffy, and light. She takes her time and she uses a great technique. I've come back since and have gotten different styles, lengths, and even tried bottom lashes; each time, they looked amazing. My go-to is the mink mega volume lash. I'm really surprised that this salon doesn't have more raving reviews on Yelp. It must be because her many loyal customers want her all to herself and want to keep her a secret.

I've received multiple treatments from Lori at Simply Lashes…read more 1st off, I LOVE my lashes. She does such a beautiful job. More importantly, she makes sure it is done right based on preserving your natural lash so the natural lash does not get ruined. You can ruin your lashes if you go to a tech who does not pay attention to those types of details. I've also received a chemical peel. I just finished my 2nd treatment. The results are very noticeable. My skin is already starting to look younger, brighter and more beautiful. I've gotten lots of compliments on my skin. Lastly, I get my eye brows waxed. She perfectly shapes them and I really like the wax she uses. I've been to spas where the wax really hurts way more than it should. You don't have to worry about that here. Simply lashes is housed in a spot called Youthful Trends so don't get confused if you don't see the Simply Lash sign. If you want a true expert working and your lashes and skin, go to Lori. She comes highly recommended!

Oh my hearts delight. I see both Katie and Diana and once ya get me started I may not shut up!…read moreI'm old so I don't look good in photos but I've watched Diana grow from a small salon to a diverse empire and it's been amazing to be along for the ride. She's done eyelash extensions for me, waxing, micro blading (I'm due fyi) and katie has done facials and waxing on me for years. I have no idea what mojo Katie does but my very horrible thyroid riddled sparse eyebrows look sleek and shapely after a waxing. Her facial is extensive and calming to my dull and hormonal skin. I always feel so relaxed with each of them and when I arrive I feel like a queen! I don't get much pampering and I certainly am not rich but their prices are fair and their service list and skills are impeccable. I would trust either of them with any of their services. Let's put it this way, if I come into money, I'd happily get every damn thing on their menu.... monthly! I could never stray. And if you ever did, you'd be back!

She kept day of prep on time and all of my bridesmaids looked fabulous. I would happily work with Diana again.

I scheduled meeting Mary for a consult several months ago. I just finished my 6 week touch up appointment and couldn't be happier with the results. Mary is a skilled professional, she walked me through the options available, ultimately I went with an ombré dot rather than line microblading look, which was more in line with what I wanted as an end result. She checked with me for shape and color, it was a collaboration and very reassuring. Measurements were carefully taken and a good amount of time getting numb and check ins to make sure I remained numb for my comfort were appreciated. I loved the results so much I went back for a brow tint a few weeks later and now have become a lash client. I highly recommend the salon to all of my friends & family. This is where you want to go for expert, professional work.

Let me start by saying the makeup artist (Lexi) and the hairstylist (Hannah) were very talented and…read moreincredible to work with. Ironically, the reason I worked with them was due to multiple horrible experiences with Julie. I honestly can't even list them all. One of the bigger issues was Julie deciding I'd be getting my makeup done at 8:45am for a 5pm ceremony start time- despite my photographer and videographer suggesting otherwise. I was told a few weeks leading up to my wedding the time was non negotiable and Julie is no longer doing my bridesmaids makeup (even though this was in my contract) AND she's leaving right after she does mine. I told her I wasn't comfortable with that early of a start time via text and she blocked me. My text said not delivered, I tried calling and it went straight to voicemail- I thought maybe her phone was off but there were so many other issues that I was suspicious. I tried from my fiancé's phone and wallah, it rang multiple times all the way to voicemail. I left a voicemail and pretended to be confused but it was obvious what happened. I panicked and couldn't believe she blocked me for voicing a legitimate concern. I started calling other makeup artists in the area because I thought Julie was going to take my money and run. Well, all the other artists confirmed that's way too early of a start time AND one of them told me she had multiple brides calling her this season with similar issues with Julie. Of course- two weeks out to my wedding date everyone was booked. When Julie finally had her assistant contact me I asked if Julie would do a bridesmaids makeup at 8:45am and the second makeup artist can do mine later instead. I was informed "Julie does not provide services to bridesmaids and will not be traveling to do so" ... I asked for photos of the other makeup artists work because at this point I was willing to just work with someone else even though I had already paid and completed a $450 trial with Julie. They wouldn't send me any photos. I tried making the best of the situation and accepted it with no say in the matter. Well, less than 24 hours from my wedding I get a text from her company saying Julie will actually be doing my makeup at 7am, and it's non-negotiable. At this point I asked again if she can do a bridesmaids makeup because there's no way I'm getting my makeup done 10 hours before my ceremony and they said no. I sent a strongly worded message and Julie agreed to do a bridesmaids makeup. Bottom line, my wedding look worked out but the amount of issues I had (this is literally the tip of the iceberg) was not worth any of the stress. Working with this company was my ONLY stress about my wedding and it's such a shame. I was booked with them for 2 years so any excuse about covid doesn't hold weight- don't overbook yourself when you had prior commitments, and if you do, maybe inform your brides so we know we have the option to find alternatives so we don't feel like an inconvenience and burden to our makeup artist. My goal in writing this review is that people who rely on these reviews don't make the same mistake I did- I thought I was in good hands with all these great reviews- look elsewhere, there are so many talented and kind professionals who want to make you feel special on your special day. Also, I'm hoping this opens Julie's eyes to her business practice and treats her brides way better moving forward. No part of my relationship or experience with her was "luxurious."

I can't wait to go back to have a Back Facial so my skin looks ready for summer dresses. Bella will customize your facials so you are not locked into one particular priced package. They also offer products but don't push them on you which I so appreciated. Very Happy overall.

I've done pretty much every service on their menu from peels to facials to brows and laser hair removal and it's always been the best of anywhere I've been in my life. I've been going to see Erin consistently for over a year and she has saved my skin. I was so frustrated and defeated and ready to turn to medication when I committed to regular facials with Erin and it was a game changer. She got me on the right products and services and the difference has been amazing. She gave me my confidence back! Siobhan and Rachel make you feel so comfortable and safe with laser hair removal and the technology they use is best in class. I was so hesitant to try laser again after a previous experience and I'm so glad I did! I've never fallen asleep during a facial before, but I'm pretty sure I did when I went to see Bella. It was so relaxing and I left glowing! Toni really is the brow queen. I've been for both tint and lamination and finally decided to go with nanobrow and they came out amaaaaaazing. I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with that level of commitment on my face and she nailed it. I'm really proud to support Erin and the entire crew of incredible women at The Face Space. They work so hard and it shows through in everything they do - which I'm really grateful for because the proof of that is my own face! If you haven't been to The Face Space yet, get there immediately.

She sent me a schedule before-hand and was able to accommodate everyone. The morning of my wedding Erin was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn't believe how natural the airbrush looked! I felt so calm and relaxed all morning because I knew I was in such great hands.
