Venus is the BEST! She's incredibly detail-oriented and really takes her time to make sure everything looks balanced, full, and flattering without ever looking overdone. She's also really fun to talk to and makes the whole appointment feel comfortable and relaxing. On top of that, booking and communication are always simple and stress-free, which I really appreciate. I'm so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great lash tech. read more

Refined Lashes - Brown hybrid - Eyelash Service Near Me - Poway, California

I love my hybrid sets from Venus. They look natural with a bit of extra flare, but not to glam for me (esp since I don't wear makeup daily). The lash retention with her work is unbelievable, plus I have oily/combo skin - so impressed! Venus is so precise and efficient with her work, I feel like I am in and out in no time at all! She also gives great advice on how to care for your lashes. She is kind and funny, I'm super thankful that a friend recommended her to me. Her studio is clean, quaint, and relaxing. Highly recommend!!! read more

I love Venus! She's very talented and cares a lot about her clients. I started going to her after a previous lash tech at a different place hurt my lashes. Venus is very amiable and professional, and is a perfectionist which comes in handy for people who are very particular with their appearance. She'll advise you if you're lost on what types of lashes to choose/what style and explain to you what she's doing every step of the way. Her studio is also super cute and clean! She even has a special type of lash tape in case your eyes get super watery (like mine). I get the hybrid lashes and I love how they look every time. read more

I am sooooo glad I found Venus. I had gotten lashes done for the first time elsewhere and they were awful. I looked for another lash place for hours on Yelp and Google. Venus removed the old set and did a set of volume lashes for me. She is very detailed oriented and friendly. She also really takes input and gives you exactly what you want. Since I'm a lash newb I asked her to help me pick and do what she thinks is best. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what she did. I wanted something like a glam strip lash and it looks just like that! And if there's adjustments I want, she will do it and won't take offense. Very professional and cordial. If you like chatting she is an excellent conversationalist. If you are on the quiet side like me, you don't have to talk and it's not awkward at all. I will definitely only go to Venus from now on. I highly recommend her services!!! read more

Venus is fantastic! My first lash experience at another spot wasn't the best (the tech glued the lashes to my lids; they felt so heavy!) and I wasn't sure I would ever get extensions again. I loved the look and convenience though, so I decided to try Refined Lashes given the proximity to my house & the strong Yelp reviews. I'm so glad I did! Venus explained to me what happened with the original extensions, and my second go around felt so much better! They look amazing too, and no heaviness or swelling with my lids. I have found my new lash person read more

*SPOILER ALERT!* You will LOVE the way you look! I went to Venus in September when I was getting ready for a special event. I'd never had lash extensions before but loved the look of false eyelashes so I thought I'd give it a try. At my appointment, I told her I MIGHT keep them on for a few months, maybe get through Christmas and New Year's with the lashes, but that would be it. So it's 9 months later, and I'm 100% hooked! I get compliments everywhere I go. I look more awake and bright eyed so I feel better! I've only ever been to Venus so I've always had a GREAT experience! She's knowledgable, patient, meticulous - you will LOVE her and LOVE the way you look!! read more

I love love love my lashes. Venus is amazing. Super knowledgeable and experienced. Extremely attentive and her attention to lash detail is above and beyond. I have gone to get my lashes done other places and hands down I have had the best experience with her. Lashes feel natural and look so darn cute. Definitely recommend!!! Side note The fun decor in the lash studio, is always an extra treat, zebra wall and an adorable neon sign :) read more

After having my lashes done at my nail salon for the past few years, my eyes were not happy with the product used and lash placement process. Lots of irritation and swelling that just continued to get worse, so I thought my days of lash extensions were over. I hated the glue on and magnetic falsies I tried, so thought I would give Refined Lashes a try due to the very good Yelp reviews. Well, Venus did not disappoint! She took the time to listen to my concerns about my previous experience and gave me extensions using product for sensitive eyes and proper technique. The lashes look fabulous and my eyes look and feel terrific! She's got a new customer for life! read more

I cannot say enough great things. read more

Refined lashes on Pomerado in poway. Is bad . She doesn't do a good job. It was my first time. She charged me the price of hybrid but give me classic . Don't recommend her. Felt like she was rushing through just to get her money because she won't be doing lashes anymore and she is decided to go to medical school. read more

She is very professional, caring, and has great expertise. I'm very pleased with her knowledge and ability to figure out what is the best glue etc. read more

Venus is amazing. I would consider her an expert in her field. She understands that every person's lashes are different and she works with you until she finds your sweet spot! Her office is very welcoming and she has a pretty good set-up. Love the chair! She is prepared for any situation and you can tell she takes her job seriously and it shows. I would highly recommend Venus and Refined Lashes! I feel pretty lucky to have found my girl and I wouldn't go anywhere else! I love the way I feel about myself when I leave her. You will NOT be disappointed, trust me. read more

Oh my goodness can I say how Venus totally rescued me after moving from North Carolina to California and went to 2 previous lash ladies and epic fail on both. I was sad and started to ask women with beautiful lash extensions where they got their lashes. I was so blessed by a lovely co-worker and she recommended Venus. That day I set up appointment and Venus took me as is and gave me lashes I wanted and last 3 weeks as the other 2 research lash places started falling out in 1 week. So happy!! Totally recommend her, worth the investment you won't be disappointed. read more

Over the years I have gone to several eyelash artists and Venus is by far the best! She is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Refined Lashes! read more

I have had lash extensions for over 13 years. and I couldn't recommend a better place to get your lashes done! Venus asked a ton of questions prior to my lash application to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted! For me, I did not want to be overdone so they look like large spiders on my lids, but also did not want them to look so bare that you barely notice them. What I got was an amazing set of lashes which accent my eyes but aren't too overwhelming (It was exactly what I asked for). Venus is fun to chat with but works quickly so I never feel like I'm there for too long. I love how my lashes look and happy to have found Venus. read more

Venus is good at what she does. She uses top of the line products that help reduce your chance of eye irritation. She is fast and the outcome is always beautiful. She is friendly, kind, and personable. I know I can trust Venus to help me look beautiful. read more

I love Venus! I've been getting my eyelashes done with her for over 8 years. I get the most compliments...even my banker who's wife does eyelashes said they are the best! I drive 30 min ONE way just to get the best of the best! Highly recommended! I'd give more than 5 stars if I can! Also, my real lashes are still going strong. I've never had to take a break because they were too weak! read more

Venus is great! She's attentive to the look you're trying to achieve and helps with advice on getting there. Shes accomodating...she has her own studio and she mentioned she does house calls too. She works with you and your schedule. And her work is great! I love my lashes. Thank you Venus! read more

Sweet baby Jesus, Venus is amazing. She walked me through the entire process, as I was a newbie. She discussed the look I was wanting to achieve and she suggested a length based on this consultation. I went with 1.8 inches and I am soooo happy with the results(see my photo). She only uses mink lashes - which are softer and do not poke at the skin as much as synthetic lashes. She talked to me about the cleaning and the care of my lashes. She gave me a 'do not do' list. She also told me that should I eff it up in the first few days,she would replace them. I went for the 50 lashes for $199. she let me know that I would need to have them maintained in 2-3 weeks. there is also a membership for $99 each month after the initial application, if you wanted to utilize this option. I am in love with my new lashes. Thank you, Thank you Venus! read more

Refined Lashes - My awesome lashes!!!! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Poway, California

I got my lashes done by Venus about 3 months ago for a special occasion. I planned on just wearing them for a few weeks. However, as soon as she handed me a mirror at the end of my appointment I knew I was hooked! I am new to eyelash extensions, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Venus walked me though the entire process prior to my appointment. Her knowledge regarding lashes is evident, and made me feel confident in my decision to pay her a visit. The process took a little over an hour, but I was so relaxed I hardly noticed. Venus is very gentle, and I have even fallen asleep on occasion during a refill. However, if I am in a talkative mood, I can easily have a great conversation with her. I absolutely love my lashes, and having them takes at least 10 minutes off of my routine. I used to wear 20 coats of mascara to get the look I desired which was both time consuming and damaging to my lashes. I love waking up looking like I am already wearing mascara when the truth is I haven't purchased mascara in months! Venus is great at her craft and is an engaging, caring, fun person. I look forward to my appointments. This is the beauty treatment I can not live without! read more

I can't say enough good things about Venus. Not only is she a phenomenal lash artist, she is a joy to be around and stands by her work. I have been getting lashes for almost 4 years now so I'm pretty picky and have tried many places and I have never loved my lashes more. I am a fitness instructor so I sweat a lot and my lashes always look absolutely amazing. I get compliments all the time about them. She is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling and if for any reason you're not satisfied she will be quick to correct it and make sure you leave haapy. Whether you're new to lashes or have been getting hem for years, Venus is the best. I can't recommend her enough:) read more

Just got back from getting my lashes done, and I have to say again and again: VENUS IS THE BEST! Not only is her work great (see photo of my emotional a-s-s but lashes still beau-ti-fully in tact), she's so great! She's been super accommodating with scheduling me when I book last minute and is just such a blast to talk to when I'm there. Also, after spending my morning in La Jolla trying to find parking and eventually having to pay an arm and a leg, coming here was such a breeze even on a Friday afternoon. It's centrally located and there's usually parking spots right in front of the building. This has definitely become apart of my beauty ritual and look forward to my next appointment! read more
