I really wanted to love this place since I live a block away. And as an eyelash addict, I need a place to go that's local. But this is not the spot. There are so many different problems with this place it's unbelievable.
First I made my appointment for 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday. I was called Saturday evening at 8 p.m. to ask if I could come at 11. This was totally fine but I had plans for later on that day and needed to be taken in on time. When I got there there was a street team waiting out in front which took up 20 minutes of my time since my technician, Maribel, needed to deal with them. I had to finally insist that we get started because I was on a time constraint.
With that said, I like Maribel who seems like a great person. But she is also new to applying individual eyelashes and was working unsupervised. I have had my eyelashes done for 2 years straight at JJ eyelashes and never had an issue with them. If you are going to have a new technician and I am to be someone's guinea pig then you need to supervise them to make sure I don't walk out of there with screwed up lashes.
When I was checking out I asked Maribel how many lashes she applied. I paid for 180 lashes per eye and I expect you to know how many lashes you put on my eye. She told me she had no idea how many she put on, that she didn't count. That obviously left me feeling ripped off because if you can't fit 180 my eye you should let me know and I'd pay for 120. But you should also count to make sure that I have as many as I requested.
When I got to my afternoon appointment I noticed that one corner of my eye had no lashes. It looked totally uneven with the other eye. So I went back later on that evening and had Mirabelle apply a few more lashes.
When I got home that evening and had a chance to look at them I could see there was far too much glue on my eyelashes. And because Maribelle didn't switch from I die when applying them, they were all clumped together. By the next morning two chunks of eyelashes fell off. I was so irritated that I went back because I had an event the next day that I needed to look presentable for.
Nakia went to fix my lashes and realized how much glue there was and couldn't fill in the spaces because it was covered in glue. Now here's another problem they don't even have eyelash remover to take off lashes. How are you going to have new eyelash technicians and no remover? That's completely ridiculous. I had to order some online to do this myself.
So Nakia fixed what she could which got me through to the next day. But by yesterday, which was four days later, I am missing about 70% of the eyelashes from one eye as they all fell out in a clump. It is very clear that I didn't even get a 180 lashes per eye. Maybe more like a 110. Also, Maribel used a double lash versus a single strand on strand eyelash. This was never discussed with me and makes me feel even more ripped off since she clearly didn't even get 60 individual lashes on. I'm not quite sure what I paid for?
I am hoping that the owner who is an absentee owner actually addresses this complaint. There also seems to be no manager so who am I supposed to call? I have an appointment with Nakia to fix these when I come back from a trip and I'm hopeful that she will do a good job because she seems to know what she's doing. I am assuming that I won't be charged to fix what's already been an issue and hoping that my eyelashes themselves don't break off from the weight of these double lashes.
Will update my review once I get this solved read more
