Karine is so sweet and she did an awesome job with my lashes. They look so natural and she's so fast!!

Monica ( owner) is amazing! She is fast and so smooth! I can barely feel her applying the lashes. She worked with my picky-self and we achieved the look I wanted. Definitely will be going back! Bonus , her Lash wash is amazing AND lashes stay on! read more

Karine did such a good job with my lashes. I have a wedding coming up and I was very nervous about getting lashes, but she did such a good job making me feel beautiful. Although I'm not a lash "regular", I can 100% see myself coming back to Karine in the future. Not only is her expertise appreciated, the conversation was lovely, too! read more

Lash Up - Lashes done by Karine for my wedding. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Dana Point, California

I found Karine to be greedy and unhelpful. I didn't have cash for our appt for the following day as my bank card was lost. I asked if she would take a credit card or check but she said "no". As if I hadn't given her enough money in tips, oil, and 2 sets of lashes. I never blinked an eye or asked any questions. So why am I always speaking to her husband as her personal secy, I can't answer that, but all I know is she's taking cash, hiding it, not paying taxes and distrusting others bc she cannot be trusted. That has been my experience with Carine. She knows she's not supposed to be applying eyelashes at this time, but her greed has gotten the best of her. Good luck Carine. Artistic Art Studio is by far the best salon I've been to. They even take merchant banking! read more

Karine at Lash up is simply the best! She gets it right every time. Thank you Karine for making me feel beautiful!! read more

I went to Karine after reading reviews on yelp, and it seemed she'd be good. She was very nice, and everything was painless. My eyelashes looked nice, (uneven, one side had more than the other) but looked ok. But unfortunately, they started falling out fast and they were glued with thicker glue than I've had before... This was my 3rd time getting eyelash extensions and before whenever an eyelash would fall out, it would be one eyelash extension with one of my eyelashes attached. This time most of them fell out 2-3 extensions glued together with one of my eyelashes. Was very disappointed, I would not return for a fill. One star off for uneven application One star off for easily falling off eyelashes read more

Lash Up - When I got home, took a picture and it's very clear it's uneven, but she had another appt waiting. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Dana Point, California

I found Karinne through Groupon. I had previously gotten extensions done somewhere else and was coming for a fill. I emailed Shawn and asked if coming for a fill from another salon was okay, and I was told yes. Shawn was really friendly and accommodating with scheduling me in at her Lake Forest location. When I arrived Karinne was finishing up another customer so I waited a little but did not mind at all. Once she got started on my lashes she told me the difference between the cheapy lashes I had on and the ones she used. I was really grateful to understand the difference. BUT. I'm surprised by all these positive reviews above her kindness and niceness. She was a little condescending with me. I'm not a sensitive person, I went to law schooli and had to deal with grade A douches all the time. I'm not sure if she's use to a certain type of clientele since she works in Dana Point, or was expecting me to be a certain way. But she made remarks like "some people are particular about where they get their eyelashes done, you CLEARLY are not (laughs)" When is a comment like that ever appropriate to make to a first time customer, who's already paid for a service and bringing you new business? I tried to let that go, and told her I was new to eyelash extensions and that now I know better. And she replied with "well you could have checked google, yelp...looked at pictures..." Again, I told her that I thought I had done my research and the other salon looked fine but how would I know?! Geez.... Trying to move on, i told her I was in the middle of moving from one side of Irvine to the other and she was like "I don't know how people justify paying so much rent in Irvine - and it's not even a beachfront property. I live in Dana Point..." Uhhh okay... There were a couple other minor remarks that were no bigs but just didn't sit well. The fact of the matter is that, I didn't feel comfortable. So while I deeply appreciated her teaching me the difference between eyelash application, and will likely not return to the other salon where I first went - I don't think I will return to her either. My appointment was 8:30am, I waited maybe 15 mins before being seen and Shawn called her asking if she can be at her Dana Point location by 10:30. She said she wasn't sure because traffic and how long I would take. I was in my car by 9:30 (less than an hour), calling my boyfriend (yes, I checked) to discuss my interesting experience! It's been two days. And my new (admittedly) nicer eyelashes are falling off without me doing anything! And I've noticed that the eyelashes are falling off 3 at a time (as if 3 were glued together on one lash) and when I've inspected the 3 fallen lashes they aren't attached to one of my natural lashes so it's not because "they're naturally falling off" So, this experience left much to be desired. While I think they look great and admittedly MUCH better than the first salon I went to, these are falling off in a rapid pace and I anticipate them lasting a week, or week and a half. Im pretty loyal, and once I find a place I like, it's the only place I go. So yes maybe I found her through Groupon but how else can you explore what you like and don't? I was hoping to find my regular eyelash extension person but I guess my journey continues! read more

Lash Up - Less than 72 hours since getting them :( been like that throughout the day :( no, I did not use oil products,wet them, or pull them out - Eyelash Service Near Me - Dana Point, California

Just moved to the area and wanted to try out extensions, but didn't want to look like a Junebug, so after reading reviews on Yelp for Karine, I decided to give it a go. I am glad I did! I told her what I was looking for, and she gave me a very classy yet natural look. I have hooded eyes, but she does a nice job with her technique, which flatters my eye and opens them up. She is very swift with her application, and it always comes out looking great! When I first got home from my initial appointment, my boyfriend didn't even notice I had gotten them done until I told him- which was a good sign! He's pretty observant and doesn't like the Junebug look either lol. So he gave the approval, and I have been given several compliments by others as well. Karine is also a very intellectual woman, so I enjoy our conversations while she works. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an efficient, talented, and professional lash artist. 5 stars! read more

Great service! Friendly, knowledgeable and wanted to make sure I had great experience from beginning to end. Just moved to the area and looking for new lash extension establishment. Ran into this jewel of a business through yelp and was impressed by the reviews. Made an appointment and experienced first hand why there were such great reviews. Great prices to boot!! Highly recommend this place! read more

What can I say? I love this place and I love Karine!! This was the first time I have ever gotten eyelash extensions so I didn't know what to expect. Karine was great because she explained everything to me and the whole process was simple, quick and comfortable. When she was done I looked in the mirror and my eyes looked amazing!! The cool thing was after that I didn't have to spend time applying any kind of eye makeup including mascara eyeshadow or eyeliner because my eyes when I woke up looked perfect! And they looked so natural that all anyone said was....wow, you look great today or wow, you look beautiful...So, bottom line is that I highly recommend Lash Up in Dana Point! read more

I hesitated to try eyelash extensions because my friends said if you don't find the right place, it can be a big waste of time and money. Yes, eyelash extensions are high maintenance, but I think it's totally worth it- especially when you visit a great salon kind Lash Up. Booking an appointment was easy online, and for my first time the appointment only took a little over an hour. She was professional and precise. It's been more a few days and my lashes are still full. Yes, you lose one or two a day, but my real lashes do that too. The extensions survived a windy walk on the beach even on the first day. I'm looking forward to making this my self splurge. If you are in the Dana Point area, you don't need to go to Newport or another Orange County City to get your lashes done. Visit Here! read more

first, I have never had such a brilliant woman work on my eyebrows. She speaks 5 languages! And--let me tell you, she knows what she is doing. Plus she is kind, prompt and caring. Love it. Love her read more

Had a great experience with my eyelash extensions. I got Karine's number from a coworker who always has the best lashes. They always look great & with just the right amount of drama. Karine made the experience super relaxing. She takes her time & makes sure the lashes come out to your liking. She really prides herself in detail & customer satisfaction. I would definitely recommend anyone to get their lashes done here! I got my lashes done for a vacation & may end up addicted! read more

I feel so pretty after getting my lashes done by Karine. I've been to several eyelash extension places, but she is a total pro. She is friendly and intelligent and has several years of experience. Parking is easy, the building smells good, and Sean is quick and flexible with booking. Karine makes my eyes look awake and cat-like, my favorite. read more

I recently move here from Chicago, and I had a hell of an experience trying to find the right lash artist for me and what I was used to. I've had a few bad experiences lashing in the OC but LADIES I AM TELLIN YOU... JUST COME HERE :) Uhhh I literally am obsessed with my lashes every single time I leave the table. I've ben coming to Karine since April, and she never ever disappoints. I travel SO much, and my schedule changes last minute and sometimes I am gone longer than I expect. Shawn and Karine are so accommodating when it comes to my crazy lifestyle and thats a huge bonus for me. My lashes last up to 3 weeks in most cases, and she always makes sure to super fill them for me... especially when I am about to travel. I have never had an appointment that has left me disappointed, she makes sure to cover all of my bases and I always leave happy. Over the last few months we have become pretty good friends, but the experience has always been enjoyable. The salon is quite and peaceful, she informs you about your lashes so they can last longer and be healthy, but most of all she is truly talented at what she does. She's also pretty fast! I recommend her to everyone who asks me about my lashes, and she always keeps me feeling fluffy and fresh. Shawn her husband schedules the appointments and he is such a sweet guy... he might even pop in to say hello while you're getting lashed! He effectively communicates your thoughts and questions so that upon arrival you are all on the same page. Very clean. Organized. Just an overall great experience! Sadly my iPhone crashed and I don't have my photos from previous progress, but take my word for it. You wont be disappointed ! read more

Found this place on Groupon. 1st. thing, it's next to stacks!!!! A delicious breakfast place. Second parking is easy. Third they're in a space with a fabulous facialist and body wraps, threading etc. Last and most importantly these are the best Lashes I have even had. I am From the east, have had lashes for years. These girls are fabulous. The lashes last too!!fill in 2 1/2 week, still looked great! You can do everything online or the receptionist is quick to return calls and answer questions. My advice go check this place out!! read more

I like my lashes and service except the fact that my left lashes didn't look like my right eye lashes. There was less curvature compared to the right and some are even under my original lashes making them not be in line with all others(pointing in picture). It annoys me everyday. There was a client that came in in the middle of my appointment saying she had an appt so I believe that my left eye lashes were rushed and that's why they didn't end up the same as my right eye. Almost loved this place, almost! Might give a second try. Overall, mink are great quality and very kind service!. read more

I'm so glad to have found lash up! I've been doing my lashes for a couple of years and was looking to try mink lash extensions. I love them! So light weight and I don't shed as often.

Karine is the biggest sweetheart and she does such an amazing job on my lashes! I went in there for a volume fill after getting my lashes done elsewhere for awhile and when I looked in the mirror I was so extremely happy! The lashes she does are so full and unlike places I've been before her work doesn't constantly fall out like crazy super fast. Her work is quality and I've already been back another time for another fill and will be coming back again and again! I definitely would go here for your lashes :) read more

I get my lashes done with Karine and these pictures are taken a week later. She does absolutely incredible. I get non stop compliments on my eyelashes everywhere I go.

Well worth the money. She is absolutely amazing at doing lashes. I love how big my eyes look and how they look really pretty but not to bushy.

Very, very sad to be posting this because I did have a GREAT experience yesterday at Lash Up. Karrine is really an amazing girl!!! So funny and outgoing. I came in with an appointment after I had cancelled on my normal place because it's kind of far from where I am staying now. I was very worried because we were doing a fill on top of lashes from my other place. She was able to provide the eyelashes and look I wanted; that's why there is only one star off. They look awesome but there are small clumps of glue on tips of eyelashes, making it hard to brush through, and also clumps of glue at base of lashes. There also seems to be four different areas on each eye where there are multiple eyelash clusters. My eyelids hurt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. Literally each individual eyelash is being pulled on by the glue or by the the lashes not being put on an individual lash. There are also a couple eyelashes glued right on my eyelid on each eye, which I can super feel. My eyeballs are sensitive so it kept me up ALL NIGHT. I had to take four melatonins to be able to kind of ignore mg eyelids itching and burning all night. This morning they're just so much worse. I'm disappointed because I'm now having to go all the way to Long Beach and pay to get these lashes taken off as well as a whole new full set. Hopefully there's even availability today at my lash place because I am in pain. I did get my eyebrows tinted aswell. I've had a great experience with that. The room was nice, the lady massaged my head through the process, and they came out great. Very cheap aswell. I will probably continue coming to Lash Up for my eyebrows but definitely not my eyelashes. read more

Karine is awesome, and now so are my lashes! I had my first appointment with Karine a few days ago, and wanted to wait to see how much fall out I got, and after a few days, my lashes still look amazing! I love that Karine made it a point to consult with me before starting on my lashes, she wanted to make sure she was able to accomplish the look I wanted based on my eye shape and current lash condition, and she did exactly what I wanted! It's sometimes awkward to spend 90 minutes with someone you don't know, but Karine is so sweet and easy to talk to, she made me feel at ease and very comfortable. I will be scheduling my microblading session with her very soon! Since getting my lashes done, I have received several compliments, and have referred about 5 people to Karine, and will continue to refer people to her! Thank you, Karine!! read more

Karine is awesome. I went to have lash extensions before my vacation. I was apprehensive because I had lash extensions just one before and was not at all happy with the heavy, fake look of them. I explained to Karine exactly what I wanted in terms of length and fullness and she nailed it! She gave me the perfect set of lashes. Karine is professional with a lovely personality which makes it easier to lay there for any hour while your lashes are applied. I highly recommend her and will be going back. read more

I just did my eye lashes for the first time, at Lash Up and I fell in love. Not only was Karine amazing, but she made me feel very confortable. She's also easy to talk to which helped me tremendously, as it is a long process. I have lots of energy and I am very busy with work and she was very patient and understanding. I actually didn't know what to expect, but now I am in love. Thanks Karine, I am definitely coming back!!! read more

For years I wanted to get my lashes done but was so scared I'd have an allergic reaction.

So I have never had my lashes done before,I have heard a lot of horrible stories! But I recently went camping and one of my frie d's had them. I was like "wow you have no makeup on" she said nope I just have extensions on my eyelashes! I was sold, when I got home I went on Groupon and found Karina. I did my research on her and was impressed at what everyone had to say,so I bought the Groupon! When I arrived she was running late,which someone had called and told me,it was only 5 min but she made sure I knew. So I went back and she asked me a ton of questions to determine what she would use on me,we went with mink lash extensions which are not as heavy, as it was my first time doing this! I am very happy with the results. I highly recommend KARINA! read more
