This was my first time at Lashes Studio, and I was extremely pleased with my experience! From the…read moremoment I walked in, I loved how clean the studio was. It had such a peaceful and relaxing ambiance, and I was checked in right away for my appointment. My lash tech, Jasmine, was amazing! We discussed the look I was going for, and I decided to get a new set of mega volume lashes. She did an incredible job and gave me exactly the look I was hoping for! Jasmine was super nice, professional, and made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. I'm so glad I found this new lash studio! I will definitely be going back and highly recommend Jasmine and Lashes Studio.

Let me start by saying that I really wanted to like this place. I was looking for a backup lash…read morespot in case my regular lash lady was on vacation. The only reasons I came here were the good Yelp rating and the pictures they posted of their work. I liked that they featured different eye shapes and offered various styles. However, I noticed they didn't include the names of the lash technicians who worked on the clients. So, I booked a 6pm appointment for hybrid wispy lashes. I arrived about 30 minutes early and waited. The technician greeted me, and there was coffee and tea in the waiting area, which was a nice touch for early birds like me. When it was my turn, the technician asked what I wanted. I told her hybrid wispy with a slight cat-eye and showed her pictures from their website. However, there seemed to be a language barrier. Normally, that's okay because my regular lash lady doesn't speak much English either, so I usually just show her pictures. The technician then showed me her station, which threw me off a little because her lash case was still open from the previous client. Maybe they do things differently, but my lash lady always uses a new case, selects the lash sizes for my eyes, and keeps everything in a clean area. I don't know, but I started to feel uneasy right away. Here's some backstory: I've been getting my lashes done for about five years and go every month. I don't do the fill-ins--I have the old lashes removed and get a new set each time. I love my lash lady, but unfortunately, she was on vacation, and I was leaving for my 40th birthday trip to Greece with my husband, where we had a photoshoot. I had to find another shop quickly. Honestly, I should have just gone without lashes! The technician started placing tape on my lids, which already felt uncomfortable. She spent about 15 minutes on each eye, which seemed extremely fast. I could feel her placing some lashes with her fingers, but I kept telling myself, "trust the process." Holy moly, I was wrong! I wish I had taken pictures. It looked like I had let my 10-year-old daughter do them--there were large spaces and missing pieces everywhere, and they looked more like the classic set I had worn for five weeks. Smh. I told her, "No, no. This is nothing like the photo in front." She told me to lie back down and added more lashes, but I still wasn't happy. She called the owner, who came over and asked what was wrong. I explained everything. What upset me was that the owner said the lashes looked that way because of my natural lashes. Umm, okay. I get my lashes done every month, and they have never looked like this! I showed her pictures of my lashes from my regular lash lady, and she then said, "Ohhh, we don't do that type of lashes.." So suddenly, it wasn't because of my natural lashes. She told me they could remove the lashes at no cost. I said no because I was leaving for my trip the next day, and the whole point of coming in was to have my lashes done. She said they would remove them and use another technique. While the technician applied the removal solution, my eyelids began burning. My eyes watered more than they ever had before. I told her to remove everything because it was burning. The owner immediately stepped in and began removing the extensions. She said she would do it herself instead of the other technician, which I appreciated. After another hour and a half, the owner finished my lashes, and they were much better than what the original technician had done. The owner gave me extra eye drops for the redness, and I didn't leave until 9 p.m. I was there for a total of three and a half hours, which was painful and exhausting. The next morning, my eyes were bloodshot red, and I couldn't open them because they were covered in crust around the extensions. Thankfully, I had a later flight and was able to get antibacterial drops. The redness didn't clear for four days after my appointment. To make matters worse, nearly all the lashes fell out after a week. It was such a waste of time and money. I didn't even want to write this review, but my daughter kept telling me that people should be aware. response to JoJo; First off, the owner didn't say anything about not wanting to do the second set, nor did she mention any irritation, so I don't know where you got that from.

I was looking for a go-to lash artist since moving to SJ & Nina is definitely that girl!…read more I tried douyin style lashes (I normally get volume wispy cateye) & they turned out so pretty! She took the time to explain what would look best on my eyes without compromising my lash health. I see many reviews about Nina's work on eyebrows but she is definitely skilled in lashes too esp if you're looking for douyin style!!

I don't normally leave bad reviews, but as a licensed cosmetologist myself I felt this was…read morenecessary to share so that this doesn't happen to others. I came in for a lash lift and tint before my birthday. It was a very painful experience, the technician Ann (who is also the salon owner) was extremely rough with my eyes and I had tears streaming down my face the entire time because she was scraping my lashes so roughly. As this was my first lash lift, I thought this may be normal practice so I just suffered through the appointment. The next day (my birthday) I woke up and my eyes were so swollen I could barely open them. I called the salon to ask the brand and specific product they had used on my eyes but they wouldn't tell me, nor did they offer any aftercare advice or a refund. I'm guessing whatever they used wasn't actually supposed to go near the eyes, or that she didn't properly clean the product off before the service was finished. This made me afraid to ever get a lash lift or tint again, but I ended up going last week to Ksthetics and it was an amazing experience. I felt no pain or discomfort during the appointment whatsoever, she was so gentle that I could barely even feel her working on my lashes. Furthermore, she properly cleansed my lashes afterwards and I experienced zero irritation and had no allergic reaction in the days following. This confirmed for me that Beautiful You salon does not use eye safe perm solution and does not properly wash off the product afterwards. I'm including the photo of my eyes the day after my appointment with Beautiful You, and a photo of my eyes after my appointment with Ksthetics for comparison.

I've been getting lash extensions for 2 years now and I've seen artists that are good, bad, slow,…read moreshitty & amazing. Trust me when I say that Anna is top notch, 5 star quality!! She listens to what you want and her quality of work is superior. Most importantly, no cheap glues or damaging techniques are used. After seeing more than 6 artists over the past 2 years, I definitely get the best value and quality from Anna. There are not huge clumps of lashes & no chunky glue at all!! She's careful and I never feel any type of burning or stinging (I've felt this with other artists). I have great lashes to begin with, so my lashes can hold a mega volume set easily! **not every eye can do this, so ask what style is best for your eyes!! I've gotten fills 3-5 weeks with Anna and people are constantly telling me that my lashes look great and full!! Even after 5 weeks, I was still getting compliments and my lashes looked great. Most importantly, my lashes are still healthy & fall out naturally. Here's my personal description (check out my pics too): Week 1 - mega volume, more dramatic, sexy & full Week 2-3 - volume, full, flirty lashes Week 4- long, wispy lashes, less dramatic Week 5 - simple set, long wispy lashes with minimal volume Appointments are 2 hours for fills, so bring your headphones and take a nap! Keep in mind, I do mega volume fills, so this probably takes longer than other styles. Price is so reasonable for the quality Anna delivers! CASH is preferred & make sure to tip ladies!! She's so talented and you won't regret it. I now try to do fills every 4 weeks depending on my schedule. Anna is so accommodating & always can fit me into her busy schedule (various shop/home locations). She does a lot of out of town trainings, so book with her early!! It's super convenient because she texts as well. Thank you Anna for your work. You give me life & I cannot see anyone else except you!!

I've had many lash lifts before, but this was honestly the worst lash lift experience I've ever…read morehad. After the initial service, my lashes were very uneven. One side was lifted much higher than the other, some lashes were sticking straight up, and others were bent, crossing over each other, or pointing in different directions. By the second night, I realized that one of my actual lashes was pointing downward and poking my eye, causing discomfort. I took close up photos and texted Thi to show her what was happening. Her response was simply, "No problem I can fix." There was no apology or acknowledgment that something had gone wrong. I was disappointed by the response, but I still decided to go back because I wanted to give her a chance to correct the issue. I have a busy schedule as well, so returning meant taking additional time out of my day to have a problem from the original service corrected. Still, I made the time and went back hoping she could fix it. After the correction, my lashes looked somewhat better, but the result was still uneven. Some of my upper lashes were still bent and going in different directions. What upset me even more was that after the correction, some of my lower lashes became visibly crimped and wavy, even though my lower lashes were not supposed to be treated. I also began noticing approximately 2-3 lashes falling out almost every day. When I went back for the correction, I was also disappointed by how the situation was handled. I still did not feel that there was a proper apology or accountability for what had happened. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GET A REFUND AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE MY LASHES FIXED,, but I had already taken time out of my schedule to come back specifically to give her a chance to correct the problem. I also want to clarify something regarding my next appointment. Immediately after my initial service, I had booked another appointment for 8/17. I have a busy schedule and generally prefer to book appointments well in advance, so I scheduled it before I realized the extent of the problems with my lashes. After everything that happened, I had no intention of returning. However, I later received a message saying that my 8/17 appointment had been canceled even though I had never requested the cancellation. Although I wasn't planning to go back, canceling an appointment on my behalf without any communication still felt unprofessional. What disappointed me most was not only the result of the lash lift, but also the way the situation was handled afterward. I understand that mistakes can happen, which is why I contacted Thi directly and gave her the opportunity to correct the service rather than immediately leaving a negative review. Unfortunately, even after returning for a correction, I was still left with uneven and bent upper lashes, crimped lower lashes, and ongoing lash fallout. I've included photos and screenshots so others can see both the results and the communication for themselves and make their own judgment. Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify a couple of things. When Thi and I scheduled my next appointment for August 17 immediately after my initial service, I was never told that a deposit was required or that the appointment would be automatically canceled if a deposit was not completed within a certain timeframe. Had that been explained to me when the appointment was booked, I would have understood the cancellation. I also understand that English is your second language because English is my second language as well. For me, this was never about perfect English or the wording of a text message. A language barrier was not the issue. Empathy and accountability do not require perfect English they can be communicated through tone, actions, and the way someone responds when a client comes back with a problem. When I showed you what had happened to my lashes, I was not expecting perfect words or a perfectly worded apology. What mattered to me was feeling that my concern was genuinely acknowledged and that there was some understanding and regret about what had happened. Unfortunately, I did not feel that through our text communication or when I returned in person for the correction. I appreciate your apology now and your offer of a refund. However, my review was based on my actual experience: the original lash lift, having to take additional time to return for a correction, the condition of both my upper and lower lashes afterward, the ongoing lash fallout, and how the situation was handled. My intention in sharing this review is not to criticize anyone's language ability or intentions, but simply to provide an honest and factual account of my experience. UPDATE: After my review, I received repeated messages from 7:00 AM throughout my workday asking me to remove it. I felt pressured and uncomfortable all day. I shared my honest experience to help others, not for a refund. The screenshots speak for themselves.
