I don't enjoy leaving less-than-positive reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience for the benefit of future clients. I typically see Hannah for my lash appointments and have always been satisfied with her work. However, during my recent visit, she was out of the country and I was scheduled with a different technician, Carol. Overall, the appointment went smoothly--Carol was attentive to my preferences and I was happy with how my lashes turned out. That said, I did experience an issue that I believe is worth mentioning. The adhesive used during the application process sometimes seeps into the eyes, which can cause a brief stinging sensation--this has happened to me more than once. After this last visit, I noticed continued discomfort in my left eye. By the following day, the irritation persisted and my lower eyelid had become swollen. Upon further inspection, I noticed a white bump inside the eyelid, which may indicate an infection. I now need to see an eye doctor to address this before it potentially worsens. While I appreciate the affordability of this salon and the quality of service in many respects, this experience has made me reconsider whether a slightly higher-cost provider with stricter safety protocols might be a better option for me moving forward. read more

This review is long overdue! I been coming here for a few years now and plan on doing so for as long as I can! It's been such a game changer to find a place like E&K! They always have appointments available and are always so sweet and welcoming. They always have soft music playing to relax to and they offer blankets if you're cold which is nice! I go to Emily who really leaves me feeling beautiful! She knows exactly what I want and she is so quick! Their prices are reasonable and well worth it! It's always a pleasure to have my lashes done here, 10/10 recommend! read more

I have been coming to EK beauty for many years. I don't live in the area so it is out of my way but the drive and traffic is worth it every time . I have gone to lash techs closer to me and I regret it every time. I love my lashes full cat eye but natural looking which is which I'm never disappointed .I also love that it's very relaxing so it's my time to get a little nap in. I wake up refreshed and glamorous. read more

I've had facials ranging from cheap to expensive and I must say Fiona has the best hands in the industry. My skin always feels hydrated, healthy, and glowing after This is the only place I trust to do my lashes because I am picky. Also favorite place to get a facial read more

I got recommended here by a coworker. The place is far from where I live, but it's worth the drive! The space is very calming and quiet. I've gone once with Eva and once with someone else ( I forgot her name). Both times were great experiences and I look forward to going again. Their services were fast and efficient, which I love! They make you feel comfortable and gave me a warm blanket when I was cold. I just love that it's so calm in there! I've gone to other "lash techs" who work from home and it's not the same! Love this place and will continue to come here! read more

Faye (who has never done my lashes before) did my eyelashes yesterday and my intuition knew something was very wrong. As soon as I left, my eyes were watering to the point of needing to use napkins in my car and I screamed from pain. I was unable to sleep last night due to the pain. The bottoms of my eyes are completely red, tender, and swollen Not sure if it's the glue that leaked into them because she didn't know what she was doing, I have no clue what I went wrong but this is EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL and should NEVER happen. I have been getting my lashes done for over seven years and I have never experienced something like this and I am terrified because it's my eyes/vision. I'm going to have to go to the doctor today because my eyes are completely bloodshot and hurt so bad. I look like I haven't slept for a week; my eyes are just clearly injured. I found this place on Groupon and you get what you pay for. I'm done with Groupon. You get what you pay for. Also, this place has no concept of "natural looking" lashes - and another client was complaining about how fake her eyelashes looked as mine were getting done. Same thing happened to me: I asked them her to do the NATURAL look and these look ridiculously fake. They do not know how to do the natural look here. My eyes are killing me and I am preparing to go to the doctor now - I hope there is no permanent damage. The pain is unbearable. There are so many eyelash studios in Hollywood - don't risk your vision at this crappy place. Please do not play around with your precious vision and pay the money to go to a more expensive place. I am in utter disbelief at how red and in pain my eyes are, and I hope I have no permanent damage from this. read more

I've been getting my eyelash extensions done by Katie for over 3 years now (since when she worked at the other location). She's been at this new location for about a month now. I have not been disappointed. She's sweet and very accommodating when I need an appointment. I tried going somewhere else a year ago because I moved to Fullerton, CA but I did not like them so I decided to make the drive to Pasadena every time. PRICE: Compared to other places, the price here is great! They accept cards but if you pay with cash you get a stamp on a card they give you. After the 10th stamp you get $30 off the next visit. ATMOSPHERE: The place is brand new. All furniture is new. It's peaceful and relaxing. The music is peaceful even if I don't understand the language LOCATION: Right on the corner. Parking is limited so make sure you get there with time to make sure you get parkIng. QUALITY: I have never had any issues with the extensions. They always look natural. I always get compliments on my lashes. They look so beautiful and always last me. As long as you care for them they will last and make your eyes look amazing! read more

Wanted to get some lashes. However, not anything lavish or extravagant just a lil pick me up. Side note: My vision isn't 20/20 and I wasn't wearing my glasses . I'm thinking they're so small I just can't see them because of my vision. Put on my glasses my eyes are burning so bad I can't see. I paid for the upgrade to have ample coverage, and an add'l 10$ to clean them up. Im looking in the mirror clearly, I have what looks like to be 20 lashes total on my eyes . With an upgrade mind you...an add'l clean up fee, AND, I tipped her ----feeling not so sure I should - it was so fast and she was the only one with a private room. I thought I had really got a great deal today!!! NOT My friend paid less and eyelashes were absolutely beautiful and took like 30 mins more than mine But I love her look! I'll post a pic of mine first and get one of hers hopefully later!!! I don't mind the way you are hustling especially during this pandemic . However, there comes a point where it becomes down right ridiculous and greedy. The product you use; has to retail for pennies to you. I don't mind the cost markup or price point- but give an adequate amount of coverage!

I've been coming here for about 2 hrs now and I'm still very pleased with their services! I tend to get my lashes done by one tech, but more recently have had to try new techs due to scheduling conflicts on my end. They keep your lash profile in their system making it possible for any tech to help you if your favorite isn't In for the day. My current tech is Kimeko, so feel inclined to try her out! Pricing is much more affordable than most places I've come around and I am a consistent customer for this reason alone. Fills are only $40 if you come biweekly. read more

I had my lashes done here. They try to up sell you. Their so called "mink" lashes feels and looks fake. I have been to many lash studios before and the mink lashes are normally very soft. This place uses poor quality glue and lashes. The technician also glued my lashes in different directions. It looked messy and poorly done. Be ware of this place. read more

Very friendly and safe practice. Katie did lashes very fast and gentle, I let her choose what was best for my natural shape of eyes with my naturally straight lashes . She did excellent job making beautiful Lisa gave me a very nice pedicure and also gentle. Both ladies are very well mannered and I will be coming back, whenever covid-19 restrictions allowed. Thank you E&K beauty, made this quarantine beast presentable read more

My experience here was great! I was early to my appointment but they immediately sat me down anyways and gave me some time to choose a color. They were nice and checked in on me every once in a while and I swear I was going to fall asleep while she was doing my nails because I was so comfortable. My nails are cute and only one nail was painted unevenly but hard to catch anyways. I didn't notice until I closely looked at it. I also had a broken nail and didn't even know until she told me and fixed it to the best of her abilities. Overall great experience for $24. It's $4 add on for gel removal. read more

This is the best lash shop in the SGV. Emily and her staff are amazing. I've been going to Emily for over 5 years now. Her shop is always clean and friendly. She has so many different styles to choose from. I work with the public and at least once a day someone says how great my lashes are! Lashes are all I wear for makeup. So easy to wake and go. Go try E&K Beauty. I promise, you won't be disappointed!!! Thank u for my lashes Emily. You are the BEST! read more

So it depends on who you get. I'll say 3 out of 5 times I hit my lashes done they were everything. Lol I'm a little pissed because I was booked with one person and someone else did my lashes a new person I think and my lashes look I know even know I told her natural I usually have the a little longer in the ends these are Not what I asked read more

5 stars for the lashes, 3 stars for the nails. This was my second time visiting the salon. I loved the first experience so I brought my aunt with me the second time. You would lay down to get your lashes done while the nail specialist get your nails started - super efficient. I got my lashes done about a month ago and I came in 2 weeks ago to get them refilled. Both times were excellent service!! However, when it comes to the nails - maybe because we were in a hurry so we can't fully blame our nail specialists - but boy she really didn't pay attention to details. There were still particles from removing the previous gel, and the edges weren't done well; also the colors were thin but that shouldn't be an excuse for an uneven coating. I did not like my nails. My aunt got gel extension and she liked the color. However, she said her fingers were not handled with care and cause her finger tips to swell and you can see from the picture that they are scratched. Will come back for lashes but not for nails. read more

"Katie," the owner of this salon, did my eyelashes and did not care about her poor work or the discomfort her careless application caused my eyes. They were glued to my skin! I asked her if I could come by and have them removed two days later and when I asked for a refund, she simply dismissed me and said she would not return my money just because I didn't like the eyelashes. She said the owner would not allow it...except she is the owner. What kind of service is this? And who lies about their name? Do not come here. They do not care about your eye health and they are not honest people. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! They are so sneaky with what their actual prices are. The prices that are listed on the wall are NOT what they actually charge. Went in wanting a basic mani and pedi, was shown 3 options for a pedicure, told and told them I wanted the cheapest one. I go to check out and they charged me for 3 things I did not ask for and told me that was the option I chose. It was not. The nail tech also cut my cuticle to make me bleed. I expressed my concerns with the manager, she was no help at all. Don't be sneaky people!!!!! Bad business and customer service will not be back. read more

I think they do decent job on eyelash extensions but not on nails. Knocked off a star because technicians keep talking to each other, making it not relaxing + they spoke in Chinese complaining how a previous customer only tipped $5 but did they even think about their actions of how they did not make customers feel comfortable? read more

I've been coming to E&K beauty for 4 years already and they never disappoint me I always leave with a smile on my face the quality of the lashes are amazing and there is different kinds to your liking their pricing is also very reasonable and affordable I will forever be coming here for my lashes!!

I have been going to E&K beauty for 6 months now and I love it ! Emily is the sweetest and always helps me with my lashes. She is very gentle and my lashes always come out looking beautiful and are so long lasting. (3-4 weeks) I will never go to anybody else for my lashes. read more

I am a repeat customer. I've always paid $70 for my service, so when Fay asked me if I do the same as last time, I assumed she knew what I did last time and how much I paid. That's why I was shocked when she charged me $100! I talked to the owner, Kay, and she said, "sorry she forgot which one you do. You should remind her next time." If you're too nice, they just rip you off this place. Not a honest business. Also, I'm not sure what chemical they use for glue but afterwards my eyes always burn and water. read more

Wow. First let me say that every employee there was attentive and sweet from the moment I walked in. I was planning on getting a full set of acrylics but I was told the Gel X extensions were better for your natural nail and were thinner than acrylics so I gave it a shot. My nail techs (Mandy and Daisy) were constantly making sure I was happy with the shape and length of my nails, which I loved because I can be a little Type-A. Now, I naturally have a wider nail bed so when I get acrylics, I tend to take them off after a week or so because the acrylic is super thick and heavy and they make my fingers look extra wide. I can honestly say that this is the happiest I've EVER been with a full set. My nail beds actually look cute and dainty on these silverback gorilla sized hands. I will never go back to acrylics and I fully plan on returning to E&K Beauty for my future nail needs. read more

I've been coming with Eva for almost a year now. She's the best! Service is always good here.

They are very nice people, but the charge more then what they do say at the end when ur ready to pay, a lot the lashes fall out the first couple of days even when you get home, so you pay extra price for lashes but they don't all stay in. Wasn't so happy read more

I went back for another new set but this time I chose the $60 set. Since I didn't have that many lash extensions left, they did not charge me extra for the removal. The lashes are thinner and softer so they are able to add multiple lashes on your natural lashes. I love how full my lashes look! Also love how my nails turned out! They did not charge me extra for choosing two different colors. read more
