I brought my daughter to Mia to have her lashes done for her birthday. Mia was very professional and made sure I signed a consent form beforehand, which I appreciated. At first, I was giving her a bit of a hard time because I didn't want my daughter's lashes to look too dramatic, but Mia did a wonderful job. She created a look that was classy, elegant, and very flattering. The results were even better than I expected. Mia deserves nothing but five stars. read more

I absolutely love my lashes from Mia's Lash Lab! My favorite is the Manhua style from her secret menu--it's so unique, soft, and flattering. Mia really knows how to customize the perfect look. Highly recommend read more

I've been going to Mia at Mia's Lash Lab for eyelash extensions since 2014, and she is the only person I trust. She's always professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. My lashes always look beautiful, lasts long, and the experience is consistently great. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality and care. read more

I flew Mia from Mia's Lash Lab out to North Carolina for my wedding, and it was one of the best decisions I made. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Mia truly understands how to customize lashes to fit your natural features. I wanted something soft, elegant, and timeless for my wedding day, and she delivered exactly that. My lashes looked beautiful in person and photographed perfectly all day. I felt so confident and like the best version of myself. The fact that Mia's Lash Lab was willing to travel for my special day meant so much to me. That level of care, professionalism, and talent is hard to find. If you're a bride looking for someone you can fully trust--especially for such an important moment--Mia's Lash Lab is it. I'm beyond grateful!!! read more

I have had my lashes done by Mia and this time I got my eyebrows microbladed! The quality and detail to her work is amazing!! She truly cares about what the client wants, goes over every detail, including expectations and aftercare to make sure you get the best results! I loooooove my eyebrows. My friends and family didn't know I had them done because they looked similar to when I filled them in with brow make up, but they look so natural that I don't even have to do anything to them! thank you, Mia for using your God-given talent to steward His gift to bless my face! I love the music you have to make the room feel comfortable and calm. Great vibe and not rushed at all! read more

This review is waaay overdue. I have been getting my eyelashes done with Judy for two months now and I honestly couldn't be any happier. She's super sweet and really takes her time making sure that I am happy with my lashes. As someone who was scared of getting her eyelashes done, Judy has made all my experiences so wonderful! Not sure I could have trusted anyone else so I'm glad I found this place. Truly a hidden gem! read more

I can agree with all of the comments about Mia. She is very sweet and accommodating, with an understanding of customer service. I hesitated to even write this honest review, because I really do want Mia's business to grow and succeed. There's a lot of potential here! The quality of work is good, but it just took WAY TOO LONG for me - almost 4 HOURS to be exact! I've been getting my lashes done in New York for over a year now, at over 5 different places, and it NEVER takes more than 2 hours (usually just 1 hour). The end-result is exactly the same, if not a little better in New York. In my opinion, there is NO eyelash extension work in this world that should ever cost you 4 hours. No amount of pillows and soothing music can make 4 hours lying on a table while someone picks at your eyelashes a pleasant experience. It's just too long, any way you slice it. I could have had minor heart surgery in that time. On the flip side, I still haven't found a good lash place in the Bay Area (is this the norm here?!). My point of reference in this review is based on New York salons. So if you're okay with 3.5 hours for a quality mink lashes application--perhaps for a special occasion such as a wedding, bachelorette--I do recommend you go to Mia! read more

I have been to other salons to get eyelash extensions and they claimed to use mink lashes, but didn't. :( Mia DOES! Not only does she use the highest quality materials, she is gentle and super skilled! She made my lashes look lush, long and beautiful in about 2 hours! If you haven't gotten eyelash extensions before, basically you just lay down with your eyes closed and Mia does all the work. Then, you open your eyes and look fabulous. The extensions last for about 3 weeks before you need a fill. Minkys (and Mia!) is the best, and definitely the only place I trust to do my extensions! read more

I absolutely love Mia's smile and pleasant personality , she makes you comfortable and does professional eye lash extensions. She is a God send am I am so glad Mia was referred to me by a beautiful friend whose eye lashes look remarkable and natural yet sexy. I highly recommend Mia for her skills in the comfort and application of lash extensions. A new friend for life. read more

All of the salons in my area are closed. I was working out of town and googled a place for eyelash removal and also for a new set. I called Mia and she was so sweet she squeezed me in right away. She removed my lashes and put a new set on for me. I am so happy with the outcome and love how they turned out. She was very knowledgeable and did such a good job and couldn't be happier. Thank you for being so professional and sweet. I highly recommend her for your eyelash and microblading needs.. read more

I went and got mink lashes put on the day before my wedding, and I was VERY HAPPY with the outcome. They are long, full and look very natural. I couldn't be happier! (because honestly, I LOOK FABULOUS!!!) Mink lashes add a little more femininity and pizzazz to your look, and now I'm hooked! Mia takes her time and does an exceptional job! Some places rush through your session in order to get to the next customer, but not Mia! I appreciate the time she takes and the work she does. Also, the day before my wedding was very hectic, to say the least. But Mia still let me keep my appointment, even though I was running late. She is very professional and very sweet. An overall very happy experience!!! I can't wait to treat my mom to Mia's, she will be pleasantly surprised. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LADIES!!!! read more

I happen to be swiping and came across Mia's Minks reviews. Here is my review: I saw Mia a handful of times approx 2-3 years ago. My first appt was ok- I remember the lashes were not as full as I wanted however she explained that if I keep coming they will grow out and eventually get the desired look. I dont remember the exact cost but the process was not cheap. On my 4th visit or so(cant remember exaclty) Mia- I recall that is her name had an odd flip of her personality and told me that she would no longer accept my business. This was the strangest experience. I figured maybe she was having a bad day. I was later called by someone from her salon -i recall the person said she was Mia's mother who offerred to do my lashes instead.???? Huh? Never the less I did not return and I would not refer anyone to this place. read more

I've been contemplating to get eyelash extensions for a while now and I decided that that day has finally come. I was stumbling upon Groupon and found an amazing deal at Mia's Minks so why not check it out! I didn't have an appointment but I ended up walking in on Saturday and getting my lashes done within 15-20min of waiting. Judy was very welcoming and showed me the classics that I would be getting and I was all down for it. I am very pleased with the results but decided I wanted to get my refill and have those lashes be poppin'. Judy did an amazing job with my lashes and since I was sick during the time, she helped me out by accommodating whatever was necessary for me to be as comfortable as possible! On top of that, I enjoyed my conversations with her as well. I will definitely be coming back to get my refills! Very trustworthy, accommodating, and amazing service here! read more

Mia's Lash Lab - Thank you, Judy, for giving my lashes life!! :) - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Jose, California

$300 wasted :( I really hate to write a 1 star review for Mia'a Minks because Mia (the owner) is SO sweet and nice (She gets 5 star for that) and her place is really cute. I have a special event to go to and I thought it would be good to get lashes done, I am used to getting lashes done for no more than no more than $60, and I wanted to try what it was like to get $300 work. I didn't mind spending that much because they last quite a while. She was nice to offer $50 off because it was my first time getting Russian volume lashes. She took 2 hours and the final result looked pretty and natural looking, but they didn't look like they were worth $300 at all, they looked just as good as the usual $60 place in Vancouver. I decided to accept it and the very next day, lashes were already falling out. Lashes need to be dormant for 48-72 hours and I kept that promise (I did not even take a shower the first day) . The next day, more came off. By the FOURTH day, they were all dangling from my own lashes. :( I went to another place because of their unavailability. The esthetician said "She did a good job, but your own lashes grew out so they are all loose and dangling. I'll have to remove all of them and do a full set" I was too embarrassed to say they were only 4 days old. Usually they should last few weeks, but this time lasted 4 days. Silly me, despite all this I tipped. Disappointed about the money down the drain..... :( 1/18/2016: Mia reached out to me after I posted the review by calling me to say she can offer a refund/redo, then I said OK, and thanked her for letting me know. After a few months, she messaged me on Yelp saying she has offered a refund/redo but I didn't respond. I decided that I want a refund and thought that was a responsible gesture of her faulty work. However, when I communicated with Mia, she said she can only refund me $180 at the most (I paid $300) because she can't refund me back supplies cost. I said OK. Mia said she will have her accountant give me the refund by Jan. 15...and It is now Jan 18. Doing a transfer takes SECONDS to do. She was the one who insisted on giving me a refund yet she couldn't keep her words. Still waiting for the refund. 1/19/2016 : As expected she cant send me my refund :( She says she can give me a refund in person (she knows I'm out of the country and she's HOPING I won't go get my money back!) she refuses to mail me a certified check or bank to bank transfer. Very clever, Mia. Thanks for proving to me how you don't want to be fair with your customers. read more

Mia's Lash Lab - I ended up not getting the refund........despite her calling me then after a few months messaging me that she will refund. - Eyelash Service Near Me - San Jose, California

Mia and her team are super friendly. Their attention to detail and amazing work shows up on the fabulous lashes they create. Thank you ladies, you rock! read more

Mia was my eyelash technician for over 5 years. She also trained me to obtain my certification to be become a lash artist and I used everything she taught me into my own business. She is extremely knowledgeable in her craft and needless to say I was very dependent on her and even grew a friendship. The best lash artist in San Jose, CA read more

Although Mia is quite a cheery breath of fresh air, I wasnt quite happy with my lashes. The were sparced all over, looked very messy and lashes were falling out as of the second day. It took 3 hrs to do, which was wayyyy too long. Two stars for feeling comfortable other than that, sorry I won't be coming back. read more

Sadly I must post this review: I had been a customer for over 2 years with nothing but great comments. I just recently got my lashes done as usual and before a week almost 50% of my lashes were out! I texted Mia for a refill and we set the appointment. I then told her how my daughter noticed the lashes in the sink and that they were falling out. She then offended me several times by referencing her 12 years of experience, how one of her cancer patients went to the doctor because something was wrong with her eyes (saying something was wrong with mine), asking if I'm okay wearing lashes, then saying I need to see a doctor! REALLY!!! I've been wearing lashes since 2007 so I think I'm okay wearing lashes! I'm a medical professional so I think I would know if I have a eye infection! I'm sensitive to tape so once a vessel burst in my eye when she pulled the tape off! Tape sticks so when you pull it roughly on a sensitive part of a eyelid it hurts! This was blamed on me as well! I have had the most respect for Mia and her work but this is just too much damage to go back to her. All I wanted was a refill after paying $166. Not a free fill but just to get a fill and this is how I was treated! I guess since she proceeded to tell me how she applies lashes the same way every time then this makes her perfect and that it's the consumer's fault. Then she said I must go 3 days not the normal 24 hours with allowing the lashes to be dormant! This meant "sweating, no makeup, creams etc!" Then the "extreme heat" was maybe the cause! I got married in Louisiana in extreme heat and went to Jamaica all with her lashes on and NO problem! So now all of a sudden extreme heat is a problem! I'm sorry that the consumer is not perfect but no one is and that means the person who applies lashes! I had to post this because I have several pictures that Mia gladly posts on her various pages to showcase her lashes! I have referred several people to her! We had a great relationship until this. We talked and she apologized and offered a free fill but how can you trust someone when they have to do your lashes and you must relax! I don't feel as if I would be comfortable as in the past and sleep while she did my lashes! Now I have to find a new place for lashes! read more

I absolutely Love Mia's Minks!!! The application first off is relaxing and looks AMAZING once complete. I have no need to do the strip eyelashes anymore. These Lashes from Mia's Minks looks natural and last for so long!! I don't have to worry about my lashes coming off while I'm doing a photo shoot or out with friends! I highly recommend Mia's Minks for the BEST eyelash extensions! read more

Mia is your girl to go to. You're laying comfortably with your eyes closed with lash extensions since it takes a while to do. So, be sure to plan accordingly from 1.5 to 2 hours and set up an appointment. All in all, Mia does a great job and my extensions never looked so natural! It's definitely worth it!! read more

I've gotten eye extensions from quite a few places, and seriously... nothing matches up to Mia's service. I used to get my lashes done somewhere else, and that person took 1 hour and it looked so sloppy. She literally glued fake lashes onto my eyelashes randomly so some fake lashes would be stuck onto a clump of my natural lashes. What's worse, I developed an eye stye!!! This would NOT happen at Mia's Minky I assure you. She's so meticulous! Literally, she spends 3 hours putting individual mink lashes onto my own lashes, one by one. She also makes sure that all the lashes are seperated so that fake lashes won't get stuck to multiple natural lashes at the same time (HATE IT when that happens... painful and uncomfortable too). The mink hair she uses is extremely lightweight (like feather) so I cant even feel them...! If you like super luscious lashes and lasts for 2-4 weeks, I recommend Mia 100% :) read more

Mia is straight up incredible! I came here on a recommendation from a friend and was a bit nervous because I wanted my lashes to still look natural. Mia listened to what I wanted and took her time making them look perfect! I have never been so pleased with my lashes and they are super easy to take care of. Mia does a great job making sure you are comfortable and confident with your new lashes! Def give this place a try! read more

This was my second time trying eyelash extensions. I find it so much easier to maintain and now worry about mascara. This was also by far a much more pleasant experience! Yes, it does take about 3 hours but it's totally worth it. I love my lashes and Mia is lovely and extremely nice. I know there might be cheaper places, but I think she really takes her time and I really appreciated her being so meticulous. Overall I am happy with my experience and I will be back. read more

Judy was the best! She was so sweet, listened to what I wanted, and made getting lashes a great first time experience for me. Thank you Judy! Getting my lashes might be more of a "special occasion" type of thing for me due to the price, but I would certainly do it again sometime! read more

I have been going to Mia for over a year now and am IN LOVE with her work. The lashes always last for ~4 weeks before needing a refill. I usually ask for the full and fanned Kylie Jenner/Kim Kardashian style lashes and she delivers every time. I am always getting compliments on my lashes. The lashes add such a natural beauty to the face to the point I usually don't wear make-up anymore. Not to mention, they are great before going on a beach vacation and giving that extra sparkle on the beach. She is always very accommodating when scheduling and the customer service of her and her staff is exceptional. I highly recommend Mia. I have been to many other places in town prior to always going to Mia. In my experience at other locations, I have had bad application to the point of scratching my eye with lashes and the glue chemical getting in my eye. None of this has EVER happened with Mia. She knows what she is doing. I say this, because these are your eyes, ladies; take care of them. Mia will do that for you!!! She is gentle and her chairs are super comfortable as she works her magic. read more

I got my lashes done by Mia a few months ago for a family event. The entire process took about two hours and I felt very comfortable the entire time. Comfortable enough that I fell asleep! The lashes didn't bug me at all except for in the shower when I'm used to rubbing my eyes, but that's the price of beauty! I will definitely go back! read more

I have been getting eyelash extensions on and off for a few years so I know what to expect, how to make my extensions lash longer and how to gauge a technician's expertise. I went to Mia to get my extensions right before leaving for my best friend's wedding. She did an amazing job! She listened to my parameters on how I like my extensions and executed it beautifully. She was gentle, professional, and her rates are reasonable compared to what I am used to paying. My extensions stayed gorgeous for about 2 weeks before they started thinning out. It took another 2-3 weeks for them to fully come off on their own. I will definitely go back to Mia for my lashes again! read more

Mia is an amazing woman. Kind hearted and talented. I always enjoy my time spent with her and especially enjoy the lashes. Tip: book your follow up appointment before you leave her office. Mia is amazing and its not likely that you'll get a same day appointment. read more

Can I just say this was an amazing grooming experience!!!! I'm not much of a daily lash girl...I will dabble in it when it's time to doll up...but I think that's what makes this service perfect! Mia's salon is so cute and clean! And to top it off she's super attentive!! My first experience at another unnamed nail salon, doesn't even compare to it. My first experience at Mia's was not only pampering but educational! I walked away knowing how to extend and care for my lashes instead of just doing whatever! It's so awesome to go about my day makeup or no makeup feeling presentable and feminine and having good a place to go to and know that I'm being taken care of! read more

Background before I write my review: I've been a solid customer of Mia's - I believe for almost a year? Came back for refills every 5 weeks or so, sometimes earlier than that because the lashes did tend to fall out quickly but I never blamed Mia for it because I wanted to keep coming back. There was a month in between that period where I tried out a new place because like a lot of people say, they take WAY TOO LONG (up to 3 hours/session) -not to mention in my opinion, they overcharge for this service. But alas, I returned because I liked the quality of the synthetic lashes they used more than the other place I tried. Plus Mia's Minks is only 5 minutes driving distance from my home, and the other place was a 40 minute+ drive when I'm lucky, over 1 hour drive when there's traffic, and God the Bay Area has a lot of traffic. I tried out Judy per Mia's recommendation for the first time on June 3, 2015 because of her availability. Although I was nervous I felt OK with trying out Judy since Mia was going to be there. They charged me for lash removal (their reasoning was because they need to use their own glue for best results - fine.) and consequently a full set for $99 (Judy's rates are cheaper than Mia's). My lash removal experience with Judy was a horrendous one that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. Judy told me to keep my eyes closed while she put the lash removing solution but the chemical solution seeped its way into my eyes. In that instant it literally felt like my eyeballs were melting and I was wearing contacts - I ended up having to change my new contacts out for another pair of new ones and my eyes were sore for a good 24 hours after the incident. The worst part is she never once apologized and actually blamed it on me. Anyway, this is not why I am posting this review. The reason why I am posting this review, and why I would give them 0 stars if I could, is because of their shady business practice and unwillingness to make things right for the customer. I went back in for a refill just after 15 days and when I saw my credit card statement 2 days later, noticed that the service was charged incorrectly on my credit card statement (service was $60 and my credit card charge reflected $129.79). After trying to work this out with Mia and Judy, initially they said there wasn't a way to give partial refunds back on Square. So, I google'd it, found out HOW in literally 3 seconds and explicitly wrote the 4 very simple steps on how to do partial refunds on Square and make this make it right for the customer (me). Then Mia replied later saying they won't do such a thing after speaking with her Attorney... WAIT, you had to speak to your ATTORNEY...WHAT? Well that escalated quickly! Apparently the total amount was somehow accidentally placed into the TIP and that's why my charge was double the amount I meant to pay. Mia and Judy refused to make this right and ended the text with, "It's just business." Really sad about this because they seemed like decent people on the outside but now I see their true colors. And it's UGLY... Seriously debating whether or not I want to post the pictures of our text conversations to show just how ugly it gets. ---EDIT--- Mia texted me threatening to take down this review. If anyone would like to see the texts please message me and I will be happy to share them. Thank you. --EDIT 2-- In response to Mia: My service was done at 3249 Stevens Creek Blvd, Ste 215. Per your business page... this is Mia Mink's address. Correct? Correct. And you're the Boss. You recommended me to use your mom, Judy, because she was available. I see that there are some good reviews here about Judy and I don't see you objecting to any of those reviews being posted on here. Great. And you did threaten to take down my review and move it to another business page. Your words were "there's nothing you can do." I have texts to prove this. Thanks for finally offering the refund that I overpaid.... 5 minutes ago, then quickly posting this reply, Mia. "If I give you 67 dollars will you take the review down." At this point Mia, it's not about the money. I gave you and your mom Judy several chances to make this right but you refused. Personally no amount of money will get me to remove my honest and fair review. read more

Mia applied synthetic eyelashes for me on Thursday. Within the first 48 hours, I have had many of the lashes fall out. I have followed her after care instructions completely. I have had synthetic eyelashes applied multiple times in the past at other places and they have never fallen out within the first 48 hours. I was concerned so I called Mia and left a message informing her of what's happening and asked if there was anything we could do. I received a call back from Mia in which she blamed me, my skin pH, and my care of my lashes for them falling out. She then offered to do a re-fill for the price of $4/day.... That's her standard price. So I was offered no refund, discount, apology, or concession of any kind for her faulty workmanship. Not only that, but she repeatedly blamed me for them falling out. Not only was her work poor, but her customer service was terrible as well. I'm frustrated that I paid over $200 for this. I also wasted 3 hours of my time. Yes, it took 3 full hours for her to apply the lashes. Every time I've had this done in the past by other people, it has taken no more than 1.5 hours. The time I spent would not bother me too much if I had received quality work. Sadly, that is not the case. I wasted over $200 (which is overpriced) and 3 hours of my time for lashes that fell out in the first 2 days. I will be reporting her to the Better Business Bureau for her shoddy work and terrible customer service. I do not appreciate being blamed for someone else's mistakes. Edit: In response to Mia's comment.... I did not arrive late, I actually arrived 5 minutes early. You also did not attempt to ask me what products I used and I told you I followed the aftercare instructions explicitly. I think your response is rude and frankly full of false accusations. Edit 2: Mia has now changed her comment to include more lies. I was not wearing any eye makeup or mascara when I came to the appointment. I do not wear eye makeup or mascara. I do not even own eye makeup or mascara, hence wanting to get false lashes. It saddens me that I am being repeatedly attacked for sharing my honest experience with this business. read more

5 STARS AT FIRST-Victoria/Mia is super sweet, and she is always seeking to improve! Update: 3 stars It is very difficult to make service appointments with her, as they are usually 3+ weeks out, which seems crazy to me since there are plenty of people who also provide these services in the south bay. But she does lashes (and tints brows, which is what I was going for)...but when you text me with your earliest convenience, I expect you to be there when I show up...and wait 20 min before texting/calling for status update...to which I am still awaiting a reply...after I gave you 5 star review?? 3 stars could really be 1 star, but she's a Black business owner... read more

Mia is a very sweet and kind young lady. I went to her about 6 months ago and she did a decent job, however it took 4 hours to be done. I got there at 6pm and didn't leave until 10pm. Granted, she does take her time but the time span simply did not work for me. The lashes were beautiful but did not last the full three weeks as promised especially after the extra time was taken. read more

I have been going to Mia's for almost 6 six months. I am so happy with the look. After wearing strips and other individually lashes I made the decision to do extensions after my first consultation with Mia. My lashes are growing longer and stronger than ever. The look give my eyes the extra "pop appeal". Since wearing lashes I have no desire to use mascara, eyeliner or shadow. The lashes are awesome. But what I really like about Mia is that she is very accommodating in her schedule. As a small business owner and a caretaker of my elderly parent my time is very important and Mia respects my time. LASTLY, I travel from the East Bay to San Jose and its worth it. I STRONGLY recommend Mia for eye lash extensions. read more

Mia is absolutely the best! I have been going to her for a while now and have NEVER been disappointed! I have gone to 2 other places for my lashes before and they do not even compare to Mia! Her prices are so reasonable and she takes her time to make sure you look fabulous!! Definitely give Mia a try!! You will not regret it! read more
