I've been going here for over a year now to get my lashes done and I never leave disappointed. It's a very clean and relaxed atmosphere and Veronica is very friendly and efficient. I always leave looking fabulous! I trust no one else with my lashes. read more

I could not agree more with Anne K. , same exact experience. i would say my lashes looked okay for 2 days. there was so much glue on them that they hurt and i had to go get them redone at another place. such a nice woman but my lashes were a disgrace. I wanted to love them but they pulled out so much of my own lashes, and went so crazy i just had to get rid of them. i put up with them for 2 weeks before they looked so crazy I had to do something. groupon apologized and gave me my money back what is also worth mentioning is that when i went to the other salon to get my lashes sorted, the girl beside me had had the exact same trouble with her lashes and was getting them removed at the time. read more

As a sensitive eyed, contact lens wearing, no-fold in the eyelid Asian gal, I think Veronica J is completely amazing. For a gal with thin, but long lashes, I have been looking for a way to get them to look like my boyfriend's. I've tried fancy mascaras, strip lashes, and really anything. I usually end up with raccoon eyes, lashes hanging off my face, and serious eye cheese in the morning. I had long researched the extensions, but I always was concerned by the price. Cue the February Groupon for Whip Lashe. I set up my first appointment prior to Valentine's Day weekend, and have been a regular devotee ever since. The lashes she uses are beautiful, and she has been really amazing about experimenting with different shapes and sizes based on my feedback. For instance, on one particular re-lash, I was going to a wedding and wanted something a bit more dramatic. Cat-eyes to the rescue! After a few weeks of the drama face, I was thinking a bit more natural. Thick, insane lashes it was. Frankly, my lashes are almost as pretty as my boyfriend's (guys have all the luck). The first time, the lashes were good for about 2 weeks. Now that I am an expert in the care and feeding of these beasts, they usually last a solid for 4 weeks. Just make sure you don't get them wet for at least 24 hours. I use the day as a time to take a break from the gym, dye the grays, get some Aloha Eats, and show off my astonishing beauty to girls. read more

I've been getting lashes at Whip Lashe Studio since summer 2012 and I must say that I cannot live without them. It amazes me how intensely people stare at me because they cannot quite figure out what has changed about me. Once I mention that I have lash extensions they are amazed at how natural and glamorous they look. I always get tons of compliments and people are baffled when they find out they are not my real lashes. I appreciate Veronica J's professionalism and her great attention to detail. She is truly an expert in her craft. It's very clear that she tailors a special look to fit your personality, eye shape, and natural lash growth. I have learned to take care of them properly which helps them last longer in between re-lashes. If you're thinking of trying out lash extensions, it's well worth the investment. read more

I had a similar experience as O.B. and Anne K. I also went here on a groupon. First, it was really hard to find. The address has two entrances and I went into the wrong one (a normal office building) first. By the time I figured out there was a second entrance, I was 15 minutes late. I was not enthused about the weird co-op set up, but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal for some gorgeous lashes. When I arrived (almost 20 minutes at this point), Veronica was still working on someone else. I proceeded to wait about another 30 minutes before she finally took me. (A call that she was running so late would have been nice, so I didn't have to rush out of work.) The space is small and not glamorous, but again, I was willing to overlook this b/c I would have my eyes closed anyway. What I was NOT ok with was that it did not appear that Veronica had changed the sheet on the table between me and the previous appointment. It looked rumpled and I didn't see any other sheets (clean or dirty) in the room. It really took a lot for me to get on that table. (I am sorry, but that is just not hygenic). Veronica did my lashes and they came out lovely. There was a lot of touching my face innvolved. I wish she had put some tissue or something on my forehead where she was touching me a lot because I ended up getting a huge zit there. I also wish I had been told when booking the appointment that you can't get them wet for 24 hours. I would have made it for a different time. So, I went home, showered with goggles the next morning per Veronica's instructions, and noticed a little gap in the outside corner of my lashes. I left Veronica a message asking if I could pop in for like 5 or 10 minutes any time she had available to fill in that little spot. (It was the weekend of a special event and I knew that spot would bug me). No call back. Not even to tell me she couldn't do it. She also never called me to schedule a re-lash like she said she would. The lashes did not last nearly as long as advertised. They began falling off within days and were completely off within 2 weeks. In the meantime, they sort of half-popped off so they twisted at weird angles. My own lashes were broken and stubby as a result. Bottom line, I loved the look of the lashes for a couple of days. I will get them again, just not here. read more

These people are impossible to get a hold of. I've left two messages weeks ago and not a peep back!

I have now been going to VERONICA J., for about 1 year. I LOVE my lashes. I get them refreshed every 3-weeks, sometimes 4. I always receive complements on how natural they look. The vibe is relaxing because only you and her. She plays soothing music. She holds great conversation. I believe she will get very far in this industry, because I have seen and been to a couple lash places before her. Thanks VERONICA J. read more

Originally I gave whip lashe salon 4 stars...boy did I jump the gun.... I called to make a followup up appointment 2 weeks later...UNBELIEVABLE!!! Sent an email from the website.. got a call back from Veronica's assistant who was going to call me back...never happened...Veronica is great but her assistant may be costing her more business than she's worth... read more

I saw this on Groupon, and was so excited. Had some false eyelashes for my wedding a year ago and my husband loved them so much I wanted to surprise him again for my brother's wedding in Mexico this year. Before purchasing my Groupon, I corresponded with Veronica J via email to be sure they would fit my needs. I wanted to be sure they would withstand the pool and ocean, since I would be attending a wedding in Mexico. She said they certainly would, as long as I let them set 48 hours. So I purchased the full set of semipermanent lashes. It was $115 on Groupon, listed as a $250 value to last 4-6 weeks. First off, it took me over a week and several phone calls to set up an appointment or even get a return phone call. Finding the location was not easy the day of either. It is in the basement of a building, in this co-op sort of space with several business working out of tiny rooms they rent independently with no receptionist or map at the front door. If I was in a location such as Whip Lashe, I would give instructions to my clients before they come. Once she was done, though, I must say they looked fantastic. She individually attaches around 50 eyelash extensions on each eye to your individual existing eyelashes. They were not over the top, and I kept getting great compliments on how good I looked. People couldn't tell right off it was my eyelashes, which I thought was great, they would just say I looked extra nice or asked if I was wearing new makeup or did my hair differently. According to my instructions, I had to let my lashes set 48 hours without any water contact. I did not shower for two days (gross) and still had some of the lashes literally falling out 3 days after I had them put on. They are not cheap, and it takes almost two hours, so this was extremely disappointing. I had them fall out over two weeks, sometimes taking out my own lashes with them. And at times, the false eye lashes took out several of my lashes, not just one. The reason I got these is my lashes are sparse as it is, so this was horrible. Also, they started to stick together, and bend at odd angles. Even with mascara, it was a battle to get them to look right and I was hoping to not need makeup at all by the pool/beach with these. I followed all the instructions given- no waterproof mascara, no lotions or face wash with oils, and even used the little wand she gave me at my appointment. I was very gentle with them at all times- when sleeping, swimming, putting on the little make up I do wear, etc. But alas, ALL the extensions of my full set of lashes were gone in 2 weeks almost to the date. On a side note, these instructions I previously listed were not openly given to me. Veronica J said very little during our appointment, and I only learned all these precautions by asking her in detail how to care for my lashes, as I wanted to be sure they looked great for as long as possible. Again, they looked fabulous, but only for 3 days, and it certainly was not worth the hassle of keeping them manageable afterwards and loosing the little eyelashes I do have naturally. I most definitely will not return, and do not recommend this for anyone. read more

I agree with Laurie W. I had a good experience. Yes, the location wasn't that easy to find, but so what! I had a Groupon and I was still on time for my appointment. I got the semi-permanent partial cat eye lashes. I found Veronica very professional. She discussed lash care and also gave me an info card with care instructions. I bought specially formulated mascara to volumize the lashes even more. They lasted about 4 weeks. The lashes even withstood a one hour facial with steam! read more

I was concerned about going here when I read the other reviews. But I spent the money for a groupon and decided to go. I feel the other reviews are a bit vicious. Its really not that hard to find. Then the co-op makes a lot of sense for small business people to start a business without a lot of investment. Veronica explained her credentials and training. She was professional, and my lashes turned out great. No "too much glue" or anything else. I guess if you are expecting a high end salon experience, you aren't going to find it here. I found a small business person trying to make her way in the world. I thought that was great. I do think she should invest in a paper roll to change after each client. The purple throw blanket needs to go. read more

I started with a full set end of May. They looked great and lasted over four weeks! I have been in for two relasheses since and I love them. Veronica is very profressional and is opening another location on Webster soon. read more

I was in Chicago visiting and decided to get my eyebrows shaped. The atmosphere was so relaxing and serene I got my lip waxed. I explained to Veronica that I always break out around my mouth when I get waxed. She was extremely gentle and after a week later no break out. I then decided to get eyelash extensions, I was pressed for time and she did a full set in an hour! I have gotten so many compliments about how natural they looked. I am hooked now and I will be back! read more
