Love my happy lashes! Maria is so gentle and precise, it's always a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend, especially if your eyes are sensitive like mine. No issues and they look natural. My go to spa for beautiful lashes! read more

I have been in search for someone as skilled as the salons I've been to in Tokyo. Maria is definitely very skilled. She was able to do top and bottom at the same speed as Tokyo salons. It looks so natural and pretty. She's pricier than most in the Bay Area, but it's worth it. Parking is a bit challenging here, so don't come last minute! I'll let the photo do the talking. This is a week after my first session here. read more

I love Happy Lashes! I mean.. it's my only second visit today - but girl!! Ladies here are amazing. Literally treat you like you are the most beautiful woman in the world, you always have this mega important (for me) discussion about final effect, you sign waiver first and temperature is measured. I chose Chau to do my lashes. First visit was about 3 weeks ago. I decided to go full on effect cat eyes Volume HD - $250 - attaching photo before/after. That was WOW!!! We went for holiday to Florida and I just said why not? Beach, sea, snorkeling etc and still my lashes survived every day for 19 days up and I lost till today like maybe 10 clusters/lashes. So it's 5 very super think lashes put on one mine. It's weird to explain but trust me it works! So after all crazy days I decided to come back today to do more subtle look. I paid $100 for re-lash/touch up. I love it and I am so happy because I love to leave tips! I'm so so happy, satisfied and grateful to live so close - and be able to just walk here! Appreciate small businesses around you guys! read more

Happy Lashes - Weeks in, and Lashes are still Happy! - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Francisco, California

First Time Lash Extensions! I booked a last minute appointment within the hour, and was greeted by Cindy my lash stylist. She was very pleasant and made me feel very comfortable. I was a bit hesitant because of the price point $150 - natural set And $75 - fill (every3-4 weeks) However, I do think this will be worth it! Having a full set of amazing lashes makes getting ready 80% easier!! I'm saving so much time / energy and that to me is worth the investment. I will write another update review on the duration of how long the lashes last. read more

I was looking for a place to get lash extensions done and it's pretty difficult for me to find a good place with good techs but this place really surprised me! I used to live in Chicago and would only feel comfortable with two of the techs to do my lashes. When I came to happy lashes I didn't know what to expect but the staff is very kind and patient. I signed the paperwork and decided to go with the Volume HD full lash set. Sandra took her time and did an amazing job! I came in today, almost a month later and Maria did my touch up. (My lashes that Sandra did were still very much in tact hehe) Maria also did an amazing job and I decided to do my bottom lashes there as well! Couldn't be happier with the outcome and services provided here! read more

Happy Lashes - Volume HD set + bottom lashes - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Francisco, California

Got my lashes done for the first time today. I've been wanting lash extensions for like 10 years and finally felt like technology was at a place where I wouldn't look like a weird blinky doll. I had my appointment for a classic full set (new client) which is $150. My appointment was with Chau and she did SUUUUUUUCH a great job. I'm in love with my new lashes. Back to the appt- First she showed me some example lash sets and we agreed on the most popular style which she described as "sexy, but not too dramatic." I laid down and she prepped me, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. I even fell asleep a few times and would get startled and jerk my head but she was so patient and my lashes look amazing. I can't wait to see Chau in 2 weeks, she is really sweet and accommodating :) also, at the end of my appointment, Maria came in to take a look. She is clearly extremely dedicated to providing the best service, and dedicated to ensuring that all her lash techs are thoroughly trained. This is deffff the place u want to go in sf! read more

I've been going to Maria for years and she is the absolutely the best . May lashes stay on for 3 to 4 weeks and never had a problem

I couldn't adore Maria more! She is the best lasher ever. Anytime I'm not able to get a fill I'm left traumatized until I see Maria again! She has 3 locations (2 in SF and 1 in Alameda). After you get lashes you won't have to wear eye makeup anymore and they look natural! Maria will work with you to give you the look you want, so just ask! read more

My first lash extensions - and it was the best experience I could ask for. I made an appointment online, 1-2 weeks prior to when I wanted to go. I went in & Irene was already waiting for me. We went into a nice cozy room, took off my shoes & lied down on the bed. She played some relaxing music and walked me through everything she was doing all while making sure I was comfortable. She got started and I barely noticed she was doing anything - she was so gentle & great to talk to! After she was done, I sat up & she gave me a mirror & instantly fell in love with what she had done!! I left with longer, curlier lashes and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Irene!!! read more

I GOT A HORRIBLE STAPH INFECTION FROM THIS PLACE. (see photo) The entire right half of my face blew up, starting at the eyebrow, and spreading down to my jaw line. It started right after I left Happy Lashes and lasted for 2+ weeks. I had to go on antibiotics to get rid of it. I still have a scar above my eye from this, more than a year and a half later. I was so traumatized by my experience that it's taken me this long to come around to writing this review. Oh, and I asked for subtle lashes but she applied Asia SF-worthy glammed up lashes. Completely incidental relative to a staph infection and a permanent scar, but also important I guess. Maria was my clinician. read more

Happy Lashes - STAPH INFECTION from Happy Lashes = The brown mass above the outer part of my right eye and surrounding puffy redness. BEWARE! - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Francisco, California

Maria is the best! I've always wanted to get eyelash extensions because I am tired of all the time it takes me in the morning to curl/mascara my natural lashes, so after I saw how natural and gorgeously long my sister's eyelashes were, I needed to find out where. Maria is super friendly and adorable and makes you feel very comfortable. Everybody is right about almost falling asleep while she does it! I was definitely nervous because it was my first time getting them, but she would chat it up with me and play music in the background. If the glue smell was too strong, she made sure to turn on the fan. She knew exactly how to customize the look of the extensions for just what I wanted! My sister went for a more natural look; she normally doesn't wear heavy make-up. Since I am an avid mascara-er and lash curler-er, I told Maria that I definitely wanted my lashes to look more dramatic and longer than what my sister came in for. Maria got it on-the-nose! I could not stop looking at my lashes afterwards. She does a blend of synthetic and mink which makes it look really natural. She also put the lighter longer lasting mink lashes on my baby/younger natural lashes and for my "mature" natural lashes, she applied the synthetic, which makes a lot of sense for the durability and longevity of the lashes. I made my touch-up appointment right after I got off the table and squealed at my new gorgeous lashes in her handheld mirror. Since it was my birthday, she gifted me with extension-safe mascara "just in case you get tempted to use mascara!" she said. She's so sweet! Can't wait for my touch-up appointment! I am going to have to stop buying coffee and lunch and start brewing it at home and packing it for work so I can get my lashes done! read more

I went online and made an appointment, which is a super plus for me. Since it was my first time going to Happy Lashes I requested any lash artist and I was scheduled with Maria V. I'm not going to lie, I was kind of skeptic with the selection because of one of the Yelp reviews below about her so I called to see what the deal was and I happened to get the owner. She assured me that Maria V is very good and that she even does the owners lashes so after hearing that I was sold. I got there and Maria was super sweet and she has feather light hands! I've gotten my lashes done before and the experience was nothing like this. I'm going to assume that this was the "right way." Anyway, I love my lashes and Maria Vazquez is amazing and she will not disappoint. This is my new lash joint for sure! read more

WORST SERVICE FOR LASHES I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. I am completely shocked at the service at "happy" lashes which was NOT happy at all. I rarely get upset or go to the extent of an altercation with people. In this case, i stormed out of the place with the lash tech (who I think might be in charge) chasing after me yelling bye at me in the most rude and taunting attitude after she KICKED ME OUT. Disgusting!!!! I made my first appointment at Happy Lashes excited to have found a place closer to home. My first appointment wasn't bad at all and she was really nice. It was my next appointment for a touchup that the problems began. First, I have been getting lashed every 2 weeks for 2years, so I know my lashes and how long they should last etc. the tech was completely rude and patronizing, aiming to tell me the short longevity of my lashes is my fault and they fell out in 2-3 days because I didn't know what I was doing instead of accepting full blame that she did a crap job. Do not even bother with this place read more

I never leave happy lashes in disappointment! Paula has been wonderful to see for my lashes! If your looking for an easy in and out,no fluff kinda place for well done, long lasting lash this is the place and her your lash guru, give her a call! Thanks for always taking great care of me Paula your a doll! read more

Happy Lashes - 5- I see Paula her work is always done perfectly she is so kind, and understands exactly what look you are going for when communicating. - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming here for about 8 months, every 3 weeks or so and I am always impressed with how much pride in their work Maria and Chau take. They are BOTH excellent technicians and you definitely can't go wrong no matter who you go to. Beautiful high quality work, no stripper lashes here (but I'm sure they could do that style if you asked ! ;) read more

Beautiful service and lashes. Thanks Maria for the wonderful service and lashes oh that look so pretty. Wonderful service and a loyal customer. 10 stars read more

Adrienne is a true LASH ARTIST!!!! I am utterly addicted to how gorgeous she makes my lashes. I've changed the way I wear makeup because of her artistry. My BFF and Ma have been seeing her because my lashes R so amazing! GO SEE ADRIENNE..... U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!! read more

First, let me tell you that you really should research where you go to - especially if you do drastic things like haircuts, waxes, or eyelash extensions. It's not like painting your nails that grow back in a few weeks!!! Being the impulsive person that I am, I was walking and saw this sign at a nail salon that said eyelash extensions - THAT IS WHERE I WENT WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! People, please go to places that specialize in services that they cater to. First of all, the lady had me go to the upstairs loft and lay on what looked like a make-shift bed with padding that was not comfortable at all. I could hear the chatter downstairs and smell of nail polish - so not relaxing when you're trying to keep your eyes shut for an hour. Then she must have put the under lid paper to separate my eyes too close inside my eye because it look like I popped a vessel after I came out. My eye was sore for the next few days and red from being irritated or possibly lacerated with a papercut! Within a week, clumps started to fall out and pulled my natural lashes along with it! THIS WAS NOT HAPPY LASHES - this was some neighborhood nail shop. So when trying to fix up my lashes that made me look bald in certain spots, researched and found Maria of HAPPY LASHES - and my lashes are truly HAPPY now! Maria is very professional, a nurse by trade originally - she uses proper hygiene, professionalism, and comfort to make it such a good experience where you can literally fall asleep while she does it! She tried her best to fix my lashes and said let the little ones grow back to fill in later. She leaves you with a wealth of information to care for your lashes and gives you so much tips. I will definitely be back to have her do my fills and thank you, thank you, thank you Maria for making my nightmare experience better and fixing my lashes! Lesson learned - be patient and make appointments - don't just walk in anywhere - research!!!!! read more

Giving this place and the owner Maria 5 star! Ava and Maria are both amazing! I must say I am very impressed. Ava is passionate, dedicated and detailed! I am really satisfied with the result. Very glad I came here! I just love my lashes and the service read more

Booked online for 18May16 I got the Volume HD Lash Inital Set, my licensed Esthetican was Irene. I came in a little earlier just in case because I didn't know the area. The bart I got off was at Glenn Park and from there there you cross the street and that sidewalk is the one you can follow that leads to Happy Lashes. It was less than a miles walk, it was a beautiful sunny day and I felt pretty safe. I ran into Maria as i was walking up to the shop but i was little more than 45 minutes away from my appointment so i told her that I was going to eat from a taco truck a block away. She said that they dont have any seats to eat there and I was more than welcome to eat inside the waiting area. Super sweet woman! I met up with Irene maybe ten minutes past my appointment because she was with another client but that wasn't that big of a deal! I didn't feel any pain during any of the time except when I opened my eyes when I was suppose to keep them close. Irene asked me what kind of look I was going for prior to starting and I told her I wanted people to notice my eyes and my eyelashes! Something big but not too dramatic! She did wonderful and I am happy! She loves what she does and I haven't had anyone else in the shop but I definitely recommend her. My first professional eye lash extentions, fell asleep towards the end but woke up happy. read more

I have been going to Maria Powell at Happy Lashes (at both the Monterey Blvd and Alameda locations) for over 3 years, and cannot imagine my lashes (or my life!) without her. This review is obviously long overdue. Once you start getting your lashes done at Happy Lashes, don't be surprised if you end up hooked for life. It may seem like an indulgence to get your lashes refilled every 3-4 weeks, but it makes such a huge difference (and costs less than going to the spa or getting a massage every month) -- it's absolutely worth it. I never have to wear mascara, rarely even use eyeliner, and - best of all - I haven't used an eyelash curler for over 3 years! Maria is a master lash artist, and is incredibly kind and hardworking. She has given me a range of looks: dramatic lashes for special occasions, as well as more natural lashes for everyday. I just adore her, and am proud to support a local, woman-owned small business. Go to Happy Lashes - you will not regret it! read more

Happy Lashes - One of my favorite lash looks by Maria Powell - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Francisco, California

Called today at 10 am to reschedule my appointment instead of not showing up... I spoke with an extremely rude woman over the phone.. how hard is it to say "ok", cancel the appointment, and charge the fee without being rude and unprofessional. I will not be coming back again. I spend $180+ here per month and also told my sister about the situation so she cancelled her appointment also. read more

Maria gave me the subtle but beautiful lashes I've been dreaming of! She's obviously capable of more dramatic looks (as other reviewers' photos will attest), but I wanted something that looked just like my natural lashes....but a bit more. She nailed it, and accommodated my schedule to fit me in at the last minute, too. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Both girls who have done my extensions at the Monterey blvd location were super sweet and did an amazing job. There was even a price mixup that was handled perfectly. No complaints at all. "Nicole?!" I am horrific with names obviously was seriously the sweetest technician and was very attentive. No question I would be coming back (and I've been just about everywhere for lashes!) Jade was also amazing, coming up with a fool proof plan to keep my real lashes healthy and full throughout the process. First fill is a little pricey here, but totally reasonable after that. You will not regret making an appt. !! read more

Happy Lashes. Happy Fifi. Got the Classic Full Set, ~$200 took almost 2 hours. My first time and Irene was super gentle and friendly. In fact, 30 minutes in, I fell asleep. My lashes were great! I definitely chose the right option of the Classic versus the Volume (definitely review the pictures prior). And it's okay if you're still confused like me. Irene was very helpful in deciding what was the best look for me. At the end, my lashes weren't too extreme, but still subtle enough to be noticed. Hooray for all the compliments I received. Plus for having an online appointment option. My first lash job and probably not my last. My lashes has found a nice home :) read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a high-maintenance woman. I rarely wear makeup, hell I rarely brush my hair. There, I said it. I do, however, like to look pretty and decided to try eyelash extensions as a way to easily boost my looks on a daily basis. I found Maria and Happy Lashes on Yelp and set up an appointment. Maria did my eyelashes a few days ago and I LOVE THEM. She is very mellow and professional and I like the fact that she was an RN before her current gig as Lash Lady Extraordinaire. I was worried my lashes would look stripperesque and gaudy but Maria assured me they'd be very natural. She even did my eyebrows afterwards, to enhance the overall look, which is pretty and natural. I look like I'm wearing really well-applied mascara -- without any effort at all on my part! Perfect for low-maintenance, lazy me. I've since shown a few friends whose opinions I really trust and they were blown away by how natural these eyelashes look. I've already set up my next appointment for fillers. Now if only there was a way to fake the rockin' body look.... read more

Lashes is my new addiction and I love Maria and Adrienne at Happy Lashes. It is an expensive addiction. I find myself cutting expenses in other areas of my life in order to afford to come back here once a month. Whether that means, less eating out or eating all together, waiting longer between my mani's and pedi's, walking instead of public transportation, etc... It is well worth it. The bed is so comfortable and you can just fall asleep. The old school jams she plays from her ipad takes me back to the 90's when RnB was awesome. Maria and Adrienne is also a great listener as well. They know my story and I can see myself going for drinks with them after work. They are so chill and genuinely good company. I get compliments on my lashes all the time. I dont have to wear a lot of make-up and I walk around thinking I am the shit. lol read more

I've been getting my lashes done here for the past couple of months and I love it! I always book with Chau Do and her work is amazing! It's so nice and calm in the studio and I always look forward to getting fills for this reason. I love Happy Lashes, thank you! read more

Let me be the first to say I was skeptical about eye lash extensions. We've all heard the stories, so know that I went directly to yelp to find the best in the Bay Area. Upon hours of research, I decided that Happy Lashes was the winner. They had such amazing reviews! It almost seemed too good to be true. Let me assure you Maria and her team are better then promised! Maria worked in nursing before following her passion in Eye Lash Extensions. She knows everything you need to know about eye lash care. Maria could not be any nicer. She makes you feel at ease while you lay on a warm table and relax. Maria walks you through the whole process and tells you the do's and don'ts to ensure that your eye lashes stay in tip top shape. She is super fast and is a skilled professional. I have been back three times now and am addicted! I have received so many compliments from friends and family. It is amazing what a difference they make! I don't have to wear a speck of makeup, yet still look fantastic thanks to my beautiful eye lashes! I would give Maria ten stars if I could. She is absolutely that amazing! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment immediately! You will not be sorry! read more

I'm getting married soon in Tahoe and the idea of trusting a local make-up artist who I haven't used before makes me nervous. I've decided to do my own make-up but wanted something a little more special. I decided to try eyelash extensions and chose Happy Lashes based on the positive Yelp reviews. Maria does amazing work and I couldn't be happier. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received. I recently had my second touch-up after four weeks but easily could have waited for two more. I'm hooked! read more

I've been seeing Irene for about 3 months for my lashes. One of the reasons I keep coming back is become she was very honest with me on my first visit. I had a bad case of over-glued lashes from my previous person. She took the lashes off and told me to wait for my lids to cool down. They were a hot mess! I appreciated her being honest and saying what was best even though I wanted my lashes pronto. She gained my professional respect. I also keep coming back because she is very skilled, and the lashes look so natural. She is always very prompt at getting back to me via text, is on time and a professional woman. The Monterrey location is very easy to find parking as well. read more

I have been going to Maria for SIX YEARS!!! She is wonderful and professional and the BEST lashologist a girl could ask for! I like my lashes extra full so I tried to come in every other week. Maria was so great about tailoring what lashes she used by watching the growth of my incoming ones. She would tell me when my lashes "needed a break" from the heavier lashes and filled them in with lighter ones. No matter what technique she used my lashes always looked full and great. My favorite technique was her "volume lashing" - super full but still natural looking! I have gone up to 6 weeks (traveling on business or vacay) without a fill and my lashes still look good and not sparse. If you follow her maintenance tips, your lashes will last! Sadly, I have moved out of state and have yet to find my next Maria! Thank you, Maria, for the last 6 years - MY LASHES AND I WILL...BE...BACK!!! read more

I decided that it was time to try out lash extensions for an upcoming wedding I was going to after reading tons of reviews and dreaming of what life would be like sans mascara and an eyelash curler! Enter: Maria Powell. She's been trained by Extreme Lashes - which is how I found her in the first place. Their program is known to be one of the most difficult ones out there for beauticians learning how to apply lash extensions. Their lashers are trained for precision, style and speed so that clients aren't laying there forever! Maria is not only technically skilled but she has just the nicest demeanor. From the second you contact her - she's genuine, informative and accommodating to a fault! My lash extensions started to thin out around the 2 to 3 week mark - but apparently this is about fairly standard practice -especially when you're a first time customer and still figuring out how to take care of them! Maria happily answers questions before, during and after she does your extensions and best of all - she followed up with me a couple days later to see how i was doing. My lashes look amazingly long and full - without looking like falsies! Maria does a great job of figuring out how to pair different lengths and widths of lashes to compliment your own and blend in naturally. I recommend starting with the regular full set and then deciding if you want to "upgrade" to a glam or diva set a few weeks after you get used to them. Definitely look up Maria if you're considering extensions, need someone to upkeep your extensions or to repair any other bad jobs - she'll definitely take care of you! read more

I love you, Happy Lashes! I've been driving over an hour to Happy Lashes for years now, that's just how much I love my lashes. I've tried lash salons closer but haven't found anyone who compares with Happy Lashes. They take good care of my natural lashes, have a relaxing atmosphere, are professional and kind, and give me the fun lash look that I desire (please see the lovely picture I attached). I highly recommend them. :) read more
