I had a terrible experience when I had eyelash extensions applied at this salon. Please, please, please beware of this type of cosmetic work. If you decide to go through with it, ask the technician to show you their license/certification in applying eyelash extensions - also insist on seeing evidence that the eyelashes are natural. It never occurred to me to ask because I was referred to this salon. There were a number of issues with my application. First, there was too much glue applied which caused an allergic reaction. The edges of my eyelashes were inflamed and painful. This was compounded by the fact that the eyelashes were plastic (not natural like the technician assured me). Second, the application caused my natural eyelashes to turn downward into my eyes. Each time I blinked, the surface of my eye was irritated. This all came to a head after 4 days when I began having serious pain in my right eye. This led me to an urgent care center followed up the next morning by a trip to my eye doctor. Upon examining my eyes and eyelashes, my eye doctor informed me that the eyelash extensions were not applied properly and ultimately led to scratches on my cornea. She advised me to have the eyelash extensions removed immediately. I went to the salon and asked to speak to the owner, Quyen. I was told she was not in that day, and I was given her cell number. I sent her a text and included a picture of my eye. To date, I’ve never heard from her. To add insult to injury, the technicians at the salon kept telling me to come back in 30 minutes for someone to take care of me. For nearly 2 hours I went back and forth waiting for someone to remove the eyelash extensions. I received a refund but was told I could not be refunded the tip I’d left. While standing at the counter, I contacted my bank to file a dispute. It was then that I was told they would refund all of my money. Again, no apologies, empathy, or anything. The technician who applied the lashes was Linda and she was not in when I returned. I absolutely do not recommend her for any type of service and she was dishonest with me. I’ve attached a picture of my eye to show the seriousness of the problem. I was very fortunate because there was no permanent damage to my eye. I had to wear a contact treated with antibiotic medication though. Again, don’t be fooled by the name of the lashes – it’s a ruse to think you’re getting high quality natural lashes when you are not. I requested my lashes after being removed as evidence they are fake. They deserve 0 stars. Read Less
