I was excited to see so many brands I've seen on TikTok and Instagram from South Korea and Japan. The prices really weren't as bad as I would have expected for imported items.

My friend recently went to this store and experienced a misleading promotion and the store is still…read morerefusing to honor its own printed advertisement. Their Black Friday flyer clearly said "Purchase $59 - Get Free Lucky Box." There were no conditions listed, no "after discount," no "single transaction," nothing. But after purchasing $59 worth of items (before their 20% sale), the staff suddenly invented new conditions on the spot -- none of which appear in the advertisement. When asked where these terms were printed, they couldn't point to anything and said "it was obvious." Under California's false advertising law (Bus. & Prof. Code §17500), you cannot enforce undisclosed conditions on a promotional offer. When my friend brought this up, the staff became defensive, refused to provide anything in writing, and insisted the manager "could only discuss it in person or over the phone," which is extremely suspicious behavior for what should be a simple, straightforward promotion. The entire interaction feels dishonest. Instead of correcting the issue, they stalled, evaded, and repeatedly refused written communication. This should tells you everything you need to know. If a store can't honor its own flyer as printed, that's a serious problem. Shoppers deserve transparency, not bait-and-switch tactics. I hope people avoid this location until they learn how to advertise honestly and treat customers with basic professionalism.

PRO-TIP: They are currently doing their grand opening sale so everything in shop is 15% off except…read morefor selected brands (Anna Sui, etc.) AND if you bring your Takashima receipt to the newly opened Decorte shop at the mall, you can get a free gift (it was a shampoo sample for us)! I have a Takashima closer to me, but it's always exciting when a new Asian beauty/JP focused cosmetics etc shop opens up in the area. If you are a fan of the Japanese affordable, "drug store" brand Canmake, this is definitely the place to go if you're not close by to Tokyo Central. The stock for Canmake make up and skincare goods is definitely much more well stocked and diverse than what is in Rowland Heights. I got the "aegyo sal"/shiny tear liner that I've been trying to find for awhile and I also got some nice mascara as well. They also carry other brands such as the widely loved Ishizawa Lab Nadeshiko sheet masks, face wash, etc products and the cute Country & Stream lip care items. I honestly still think that Shibuyala has the wider breadth of variety also by virtue of being the bigger store, but if you can't find it there, Takashima is you're next best bet to hit up. Really wished this spot has a snack section like the RH location, but I understand the space limitations.

A huge shoutout to Hailey!!! She was so patient and knowledgeable and even helped me properly improve my eyeliner drawing technique. I never thought my eyes could look so good with eye makeup! It's made such a difference for my confidence - thank you!! I'm looking forward to coming back and will recommend Takashima to all of my friends.

It's been a little while since I wrote a review here and I think it's time I write one again. I've…read morebeen going to Dr Yu for YEARS and I am still just as obsessed as I was the first day that I walked in. Dr Yu is not just a Dr, he's an artist and takes so much pride in doing a job well done. It's nice knowing he won't let a single person leave without them feeling totally satisfied and beautiful. Everyone who works the front desk is so nice and kind too. They always greet you when you walk in, say bye when you leave and answer all of your questions. I love this place so much and writing this review is making me want to go back this second! I also just read in another review someone commenting on easy to locate, plenty of parking and a beautiful waiting area. I don't normally think of the logistical things, but I can second all of that! You can also grab tea or water while you wait : ) Thank you Dr Yu and Kat!

I was mainly concerned about my angry elevens and the nurse was able to assess any other areas that may need freezing.

Even if you dont think you need it, botox is preventative! In the next couple days I could no longer squint and deepen the winkles.

While I appreciate that the pricing here is competitive, I came here for a consultation and was not…read moreimpressed by their service or bedside manner. First, the phone call to make the appointment was easy. They were polite and efficient both with booking the initial consult and with rescheduling when I needed. However, once I got to the actual appointment, I didn't enjoy their service. I arrived for my appointment at 2pm, and at the front desk was a security officer instead of a receptionist. He seemed confused by my presence and told me that everyone was out to lunch. I was confused and he told me to talk to one of the nurses, but she looked annoyed at me and told me to keep waiting in the lobby -- when I asked if they were on their lunch, she said no and to be patient. Finally, I was seen by the consultant. The consultant was very no-nonsense and didn't seem to have the patience to answer my questions. When I asked her about my concerns re: skin fat burning, she would brush them off by saying "Well, just use a different laser then". Okay, but...she didn't answer my questions or really explain the pros and cons of each laser? Ultimately, I will choose a different location. There are other places with similar pricing where you will feel valued and treated like a patient.

When I had questions about using the app and my rewards, she looked at me as if I should already know how everything works.

I had the app open and showed her my coupons, but she didn't offer to apply them. I had to insist on using both my points and my coupons.
