I found Mary over a year ago and she is truly a Godsend! Mary is highly responsive, very clean, incredibly organized and her experience supersedes all other positive attributes. I commonly see her for my eyebrows and the artistry of shaping changed my appearance for the better. She is very consistent and always recommends what is best for my face. After seeing her for a few months, she introduced me to the eyelash lift and this was a procedure I was completely unaware of. After having it done once I realized I could not go back living without it!! The lash lift opened up my eyes and I didn't realize how long my normal lashes were. I was never a fan of false lashes because they look very fake and I've heard they can damage your growth and cause infections of the eyeli, so I stayed away from false lashes...the lift is far superior because it doesn't damage your eyes or hairs, and is super safe. Also, being a young professional in tech, the time-savings alone of not having to tinker around with my eyelash curler is worth the lift in itself. Mary is truly the best and I hope to keep seeing her for years to come. read more

I just went to Mary for the first time. For years I have been trying to find someone to make more brows more symetrical. She suggested tinting the blond peach fuzz type hairs above one brow to make it appear to have a higher arch to better match the other brow. I just can't believe how symetrical my brows are now! I also had a lash lift which looks amazing , and a lash tint. Friends have been amazed, lashes and brows truly look wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

Mary Ely - Eyelash Service Near Me

See all

The Brow Queen! Wow, I'm new to the area and so thrilled to have found Mary. I am extremely picky when it comes to my brows -- so many places get good reviews but I look at the photos and absolutely cringe. Mary, on the other hand though, is an artist. Her knowledge of brows is so extensive; her creativity and thoughtfulness when it comes to perfecting your look is honestly brilliant. I also took my mom here for a lash lift and tint. Mary was extremely honest that since my mom has crazy long and curly lashes already, she may not get the huge effect that most do. I loved that transparency; Mary is not in this to make a profit. However, we decided to go through with it anyway and were blown away. The results WERE amazing, and my mom can now look like she's wearing falsies without even putting on any mascara! She had gotten lash extensions before elsewhere and didn't like them, but she LOVED how natural, non-damaging, and low maintenance this was. The lift was the coolest thing ever and make her eyes look so much bigger and younger! The new best beauty secret for sure. Can't wait to continue going to Mary for my brows! Try her out and you'll be obsessed too xx read more

I had a great experience getting a lash lift with Mary. She is professional, friendly, and gave me an amazing lash lift! They look long, thick, and like I am wearing mascara. I'm very happy with the results. Booking an appointment is easy (email or by text) and she gets in touch very quickly. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Mary today. I had been looking forward to this appointment since I booked it. First of all, Mary the booking process was simple and she was even able to squeeze me in earlier than my appointment time. Now, the lash lift... amazing. I had been prepping my lashes with castor oil for about a month before this appointment so my lashes could really have it's full affect, and thanks to Mary my lashes were beautiful. They were far beyond what I could ever achieve with any eyelash curler. The process was painless and took about an hour, I even got a little power nap during the lift. Mary really knows what she's doing and is extremely passionate about her work. She's been doing these lash lifts before the hype. You will not be disappointed! One thing I might add about the eyelash lift is that it does have a subtle.. grandma smell to it that kind of lingers.. if your sensitive to scent, I believe Mary said she had an unscented version (I could be wrong on this), but nonetheless it's very subtle. read more

I am so excited. Mary has been my go to person. She has groomed my brows, curled and tinted my lashes for years. However last week I had an appointment with her associate Sari. At first I thought " No one can compare to Mary." Low and behold I am pleased to say Sari is great! I have a perfect curl . I can recommend Sari with out hesitation. read more

Amazingly fluttery lashes! I've been to Mary for the last 20 years and my brows and lashes just keep getting better under her care. She's a goddess! read more

Mary Ely - No makeup! Just tinted brows and eyelash perm. - Eyelash Service Near Me

Mary's lash and brow services are well worth the cost! with her last lift process, i could really see my lashes in a way i had never before. it makes a huge impact on my appearance and so worthwhile, especially when combined with the brow and lash tinting. At one point i did try out a competing (and cheaper) service called Parasol in downtown Palo Alto. i'm not sure if they know what they are doing there, but that was a total waste of money. i thought it would be the same but less expensive, but in fact it was a complete waste. now i will always go to Mary, she has a magic touch! read more

I've known Mary Ely for over 25 years. Mary is a true professional. She is a perfectionist and when I'm with her she is 100% focused on ensuring I'm getting my needs met.

Mary Ely - Eyelash lift and eyebrow tint. - Eyelash Service Near Me

Love Mary's lash lift service. It was my third time getting them done yesterday and she does an excellent job with my Asian short straight lashes! Very happy with them. Thanks, Mary! read more

I have the most stubbornly straight Asian lashes that won't even hold a curl from an eyelash curler for more than half an hour no matter what I try, so I never knew my eyelashes existed before Mary gave me a lift. They look so beautiful and long now I actually bother to wear mascara every day! She was also friendly and very experienced, and made sure to talk through the entire process so I knew what was happening. Thank you so much Mary! read more

Mary is absolutely amazing. Her lash lifts and tints are perfection! She understands facial structure and knows what will compliment you most. She also takes the time to define each and every tiny lash. If you've never had a lash lift before, or you've been unhappy with results in the past, GO SEE MARY. You won't be able to stop staring at your eyes! read more

Mary was so accommodating when I scheduled an appointment. Her work is wonderful. My eyelashes look amazing, and it makes my eyes really pop, and look so green (they are green)! read more

Mary has incredible attention to detail; she is a lash perfectionist. She turned my stick-straight lashes into swooping beauties. Her lash lifts give a curled-to-tip curve (not a hard bend at the base), which grows out nicely. She's in a new location now in Palo Alto near Middlefield and Embarcadero. She's a one-person show (so she sometimes takes a day or so to get back to you), and incredibly personable and professional. Your lashes will thank you! read more

My first time getting my eyelash lifted and I am so very happy with the result. Thank you for the amazingly beautiful curve lashes, Mary! I was nervous as I never had anything done to my lashes, no extension, no tinted, nada! Initially, I was going to get the lash extension, but decided against it because of the maintenance of going in every 2-3 wks for refill and the aftercare of blow drying and brushing them after shower...lol. So, I watched a lot of YouTube videos on eyelash lift and tinted, and read quite a few Yelp reviews. I decided to give Mary a try due to all 5 stars reviews and I am so happy I went to her! She's not only skillful with eyelash lift, but very warmth and make you feel comfortable. Also, she's very honest and would tell you certain procedure would not work on you instead of doing it to make money off of you. Mary, you have earned another faithful client!! I will see you in 6-8 weeks for a re-lift :) read more

I was able to get an appointment fast. Mary was amazing! I have been to a few places to get my lashes; but she is by far the best. She was even able to get some on my smallest lashes. If you have stick straight lashes like me, you NEED Mary. Now that I have found her, I don't need to go anywhere else. read more

Mary is amazing!! I have stubborn, super-straight lashes, and Mary magically turned them into beautifully curled, lush lashes! I have tried a lot of salons around the area, and the results were usually pretty good, but not amazing. I always just assumed it was because my lashes were so coarse, and therefore hard to lift. Also I had to bring my 9 year old to the appointment, as he was in break from school, and Mary was great about it. She set him up comfortably, and talked to him throughout the appointment. The room is clean, and calming. I will be back! read more

I've just started to go to Mary Ely recently and have been very pleased with the results. She really did a lovely job shaping my eyebrows and dying my lashes. i look noticeably better. Her salon is a studio in a residential area, not downtown, and the ambience is lovely. Very peaceful overlooking a large yard. Mary makes her own appointments and has a flexible schedule. So glad i was referred to her. read more

Mary Ely was recommended by a coworker of mine. I went for this first time today and was really impressed. She really took the time to shape the eyebrows perfectly. Over the last 10 years of getting my eyebrows done she is one of the best! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good shape. One tip is to grow your eyebrows before you go to her so she can help shape them better! read more

I am a relatively new customer to Mary. She is excellent at her craft! From the minute I walked out of the salon my eyelashes and brows look fabulous...and so very natural. I don't wear make up and so for me this is it with a splash of lipstick - very natural and yet a finished look. Thanks Mary! Already booked in for my next appointment. read more

My eyes look great! I look great and younger!...very exciting. Thank you Mary! It's amazing what a difference Mary's expert brow shaping along with brow and lash tinting makes on my appearance. I also had my lashes permed and my lashes look a lot longer :) read more

Very professional, swift and sweet! Mary works wonders on my windows into the soul. I'm platinum blonde and so my lashes and brows aren't naturally very dark. She lifts and tints my lashes into bold beautiful giraffe-like lashes, that last a good 2 months. My eyebrows are thin and sparse, so she tints them to stand out against my fair complexion and appear fuller. Both treatments make my blue eyes pop and put mascara use to the wayside. After I get the treatment, people often think I'm wearing makeup. Thank you Mary for enhancing my natural beauty and boosting my confidence! Love love love! read more

I just had a lash lift/tint with Mary, and she really is as good as it gets. Extremely professional, super-experienced, overall a lash-brow EXPERT, and very kind and personable as well. Throughout the process she carefully explained exactly what she was doing and how it would feel, which put me entirely at ease and made the whole thing completely painless (even relaxing!). I have short, stumpy lashes and deep-set eyes, and somehow she was able to lift them to new heights. I was so pleased with the whole lash process and had gained such trust in her overall skill as an artist that I immediately asked her to clean up my brows as well. Not only did she make room in the same appointment for the additional service, but did an expert (but subtle, just as I requested) job with my brows as well. I could not be more pleased. If you want any kind of lash or brow work done, go see Mary at once! read more

Mary is the expert when it comes to brows! It is truly amazing how a simple brow trim and coloring can make you look years younger and refreshed. I though I needed more Bo-tox and all I needed was an appointment with Mary! Fluffy D. read more

Mary E. is Awesome! She did a fantastic job on my limp short eyelashes! No need for mascara daily which is nice. I definitely would recommend her to my friends/family. She also tinted my brows which compliments the lashes well.. also, no need for heavy duty lash fillers. Thank You Mary for creating that curl on my lash I've never achieved (not even with a heated eyelash curler!!!!) I Also have to mention that during the holidays work schedule became hectic. Mary worked with me and was able to fit me in right before the New Year. 5 more stars for working with crazy schedules! read more

Mary Ely was recommended to me by an aesthetician when I expressed interest in eyelash tinting and perming (also brow shaping). I have been to see her twice now and I really love the results. I have fairly short, straight, light eyelashes and she made them look amazing! They are long and dark and they curl up just perfectly. I could never make them look this way with any amount of mascara and curling. And the results last for many weeks! I definitely plan to continue to see her. She also takes great care to shape my brows just perfectly. She has years of experience and I trust her judgement completely. Mary is great for scheduling. She is flexible and responsive and works hard to find a time that can work for everyone. Her studio is clean, warm, inviting, and peaceful. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Mary is FANTASTIC! She is definitely an expert in her field. I'm very particular about my brows and she did an amazing job shaping them - super natural yet clean. I would recommend her to everyone! read more

I have been going to Mary for brows, lash tint and curl for 15 years at a few Palo Alto locations. Always perfect! Easy to schedule via email or text too. read more

Love this home studio vibe, and Mary is super sweet as well as knowledgeable. She is also great about responding and made getting an appointment super easy. She did a fantastic job on my lash lift the other day- it was painless and I love the natural yet noticeable result. I am looking forward to returning for this again, as well as trying out lash extensions! Thanks Mary!!! read more

I have been seeing and Mary for my brows and lashes for many years. She is an absolute master at her craft. She really takes the time to shape your brows to fit your face shape and hair color (if needed). I have referred many people to Mary and all have come back with glowing reviews. I cannot tell you how often I am stopped and asked "who does your brows?" You won't find anyone better...trust me. read more

I've been going to Mary for my brows for years and think she is terrific. I also reviewed her a couple of years ago when she worked at an upscale salon, but I wanted to give her a plug here as well. Now that she is working out of her own studio, she is able to charge much more reasonable prices for the same great work. I am very picky about my brows - I want them to look clean and polished but still really natural. Mary listens and does a great job. read more
