Valerie H.

Came here for a gel mani and pedi, and was amazed by the quality of work! They were really meticulous and made sure I loved the color and shape. They also offered soda or water when I got there. There's some street parking in front of the building. They spoke Chinese (mandarin) and English :)

Lashes :)
Yajaira C.

I loveeeeeee this place it was my first time going and Coco did my lashes ugh she's so caring and attentive. Customer service 10000/10, and she makes you feel so Comfortable. The salon is so clean and cute omggg

I tried this lash salon to use up my ClassPass credits, so I came willing to take a chance and trust in their Yelp reviews. First want to say, I think Coco does a great job placing lashes with skill and precision and without irritation afterwards!!! But, one thing I'll say is that the lash outcome was just not what I expected. Although I know sometimes the look can differ from the model or due to each artist's technique, but I was surprised when I first saw my lashes. I specifically asked for their "Camilla" for its similarity to sunflower lashes style (see their yelp photo posted by the business) that tries to accomplish a more natural wispy and varied length with some variance with individual lashes to open the eye. But my final look looked uniform like falsies with each lash identical to a Y. It's noticeable as someone who has gotten my lashes done for years and has been getting more natural styles recently. So I am almost certain she did the "YY" technique style on me instead. (It looks almost identical to their YY photo posted by the business on their Yelp). All to say, I don't think this is necessarily a reflection of their quality, but maybe technique, since it's not miscommunication bc they had confirmed with me she did Camilla. Looks good, but it's not my style. It's just not the outcome look I expected when paying additionally on top of my credits, so just mixed feelings! Edit: as response to business's reply. I had posted photos just to prove that the outcome and lash material used were clearly moreso YY than what is shown for Camilla. On the contrary, we had discussed before starting what effect I had wanted, so I was willing to pay the upgrade from classic to specifically Camilla. Camilla seemed natural in comparison to the 3D and up lashes. I tried to ask what the differences and effect were on the menu, and was told to make a decision based on the pictures without much more explanation and so I did. All to say, my review had complimented Coco's skills and shown fair and still beautiful photos, but it is a mixed feeling and experience I am pointing out of not getting what I asked for. I even communicated in Mandarin Chinese and Coco was comfortable to know she can speak to me in Mandarin if needing to recommend a change. My review is my opinion and was actually meant to offer a fair review on lashes for any future class pass clients like me.

Wanted to leave another review after seeing some of the other bad reviews saying the service was bad, they just spoke in Chinese and ignored people, etc. I have been here thru ClassPass at least a dozen times now. The staff is ALWAYS wonderful, asks me if I want anything to drink, asks how many coats of gel I want. Today I went in with some BUSTED nails that I've grown out pretty long, some snapped and it had been about a month since my last appointment (literally trying to stop the breaking with super glue). The girl who worked on my nails did some type of patch to keep them from breaking further and did wonderful. She did the little patch thing on 3 of my nails. Will continue to come here

First time mani and pedi at Barbie's

Newest nail shop on the block! Can't miss the hot pink Barbie's Island window decor when coming down Main Street. So happened to be in need of a pedicure when we walked by and saw the 20% off sidewalk sign..SOLD! Popped our heads in and were greeted by a very friendly gentleman. Asked us to come back in 15 minutes when the nail tech would be finished with her client. When we returned, we were seated in massage pedicure chairs and offered beverages (soda, water, champagne, & beer). I'm totally taking advantage of that next time. I had a very thorough pedicure. Everyone was attentive and polite. I overheard that the business is a family business that was acquired from previous owners (business by another name) that retired. It's nice that they were able to keep it in the family. Looking forward to seeing Barbie's Island do well in this neighborhood. *finally a nail shop that takes cards

This place is new to my neighborhood. I was initially not going to go in because I already have a local spot where I get my pedicures done. Plus I'm not a pink "Barbie" guy. But on the day we passed by, we saw that there was a 20% off grand opening special. That drew us in for sure. When we walked in, the gentleman at the front desk said my wife and I could come back in 15 minutes when the technician was done with a client. When we returned, we both were offered seats and drinks (champagne & or beer). My technician was Lyn and she did an amazing job on my feet. I felt like she paid extra attention to detail and focused on parts of my feet that hadn't been attended to previously. She even offered up some home remedies that I could try. I definitely enjoyed the session and would see Lyn again. I liked that I could pay with my card whereas my other place is cash or Zelle only. Only negative thing was that the man at the front desk didn't know how to operate the POS machine and didn't know how to utilize the tap to pay feature.

I like this nail salon. It's clean and the ladies are nice. I also like their nail polish selection and that they are in ClassPass. The music and video of the ocean they play makes it relaxing.

Cat eye with lilac ombre and 2d star design on 2 nails.

Last minute decision. To get me and my partners nails done. I never thought getting my nails done was fun until today! I was able to get exactly what I wanted and when my nails were being prepped, CoCO did it so well I didnt feel any pain! Usually I get snipped or cut, but she was the best! I asked for cat eye with lilac ombre. And got 2 cute star details. She looked at the reference I had and slayed. Definitely will be going back. I can't wait for my next appt. I felt so at ease. Thank you, Coco!

Jasmine L.

I had walked in without an appointment (oopsies) but they were still able to take me in for a pedicure. The ambiance is very calm and relaxing for sure, they offered me something to drink as well. The pedicure didn't take too long, maybe about 15 mins but Vivian was quick with it and very precise! It was $30 for my pedicure with removal of old polish. Since it was Friday morning, Vivian was the only one around to do but hands down, will come back again.

Barbie's Island saved the day! A month ago I was about to go on vacation, I barely had any time to get a pedicure before leaving town, I wanted something close to home since I was rushing and still packing, I called them past 6 pm for a same day appointment and the lady that answered the phone didn't hesitate to take me in. Got there 15 minutes after my call, waited another 10 min and then...! I was pedicure ready! They have a great variety of color, the ladies working were nice, they offer you a complementary drink, the message chair are great! Honestly no complaints at all, and I will definitely be back!!! (They even give you a stamp card to get a free service).

My lashes always last me 2-3 weeks before needing a fill & appointments is usually anywhere from 1.5-2 hours, which is the normal. The vibe inside is super relaxing, like a spa.

The results exceeded my expectations: my brows are beautifully balanced with soft shading and natural hair strokes. Tina's precision, gentle approach, and clear explanations made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. My brows now look fuller, symmetrical, and effortlessly natural. I'm already looking forward to my next touch-up session. I'm so thankful for Tina's years of expertise--she made my initial hesitation about professional brow services disappear.

With nine years of experience, she's an expert in microblading, ombré brows, and lip blush. More importantly, she doesn't just perform a procedure--she creates a personalized plan based on your unique features and goals. Tina takes the time to listen, carefully assess your face, and explain every recommendation she makes, so you'll understand exactly why a certain color, shape, or technique is best for you. Her professionalism and attention to detail make the entire experience comfortable and reassuring from consultation to aftercare. The results speak for themselves. Her clients consistently receive compliments from family, friends, and coworkers because the enhancements look so natural. She has an incredible ability to bring out someone's natural beauty without making it look overdone. If you're looking for someone you can completely trust with your brows or lips, Tina is the artist I would recommend without hesitation. You're not just getting a cosmetic procedure--you're putting yourself in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about helping you look and feel your best.

I found Lash Glow on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Booking an appointment online was super easy, they have all their services listed. There isn't a parking lot but you can try to find parking on the street in the front of the store or in the neighborhood that's around the corner. It's a safe neighborhood so I wasn't worried about my car. Walking inside, it's one huge room with multiple lashing stations divided by a curtain. It was empty when I was there, just me and the girl who gave me my lash lift and tint. I didn't catch her name, but she was so sweet!! She gave me a run down of the various lashes they offered, I told her that I would eventually come back to get my lashes done and she had great recommendations for what I was interested in. My favorite thing about this place was the lashing bed! It was cushioned with a foam mattress pad, it put me straight to sleep! The process of getting the lash lift and tint went so smooth. I didn't feel any burning, the tech had the softest touch, and I felt really comfortable. I highly recommend trying our Lash Glow if you're interested in getting your lashes done! Looking at their prices too, it didn't seem too pricey.

There were also a few other things I didn't like about how the tech did my lashes so at first, I was just going to decide to not go back here and not write a review, but when the lashes started falling out, I felt so bad for my natural lashes that I can't help but write this review, so here's what happened. The appointment was reserved for an hour and a half, but she told me she was done within 45 minutes. This is strange to me because other lash techs have told me I have more lashes than a regular person so it normally takes the whole time and even then, they don't usually cover each lash. It also hurt more than usual. She was pulling on my lashes quite a bit, but again I didn't complain. After a few days, the lashes started falling off taking a bunch of my natural lashes along with it. Attached is a picture of the lash CLUMPS that fell off my eyes. If you can tell, there's about ten of my natural lashes that fell off with a bunch of fake lashes and they were all glued together. I have never had this issue anywhere else. Please don't go here. They rush their appointments and don't care about your natural lashes. At the end of the day, you'd be lucky to have any lashes left.
