    Lashes w mascara after the service (top) vs before (bottom).

    I booked an appointment for a brow lamination/tint and lash lift/tint with "any available artists."last week. I'll start by saying the brow service was great. I forget the artists name, but she was friendly and walked me through everything she was doing as she's doing it. My lash service was with Courtney. Not at all the same friendly personality, which is fine as long as my service is done well. During the first application step she mentioned my lashes were giving her a difficult time and I mentioned I do use a serum--I've had the same service done in past while using the same serum with zero issues. During the next step when she applied the lotion she left without saying anything--and was gone for what felt like forever. When she returned, she removed the product and did the tint (or so I thought). At the end the removal of my lashes from the shield was not effortless with tugging on lashes to separate. The finished product seemed seemed okay, not how it usually looks after and there was residue all around my eye. I also felt like my lashes appeared shorter but figured it was just the new curl to them and I was over analyzing it. However once home and I got a better look I saw how poor of a job was done. For starters my lashes are crimped in areas, they're a lighter color than my natural brown color (asked for black tint), seem frayed at the ends, and are shorter and thinner than my natural lashes. There were also several loose lashes around my eyes. A few hours later, I had many more lashes falling out and in clumps bc of the remaining residue on my lashes. I'll add I am not new to these services, I am familiar w the process and what to anticipate for processing times. This seemed to take far longer than typical which makes me believe they were over processed. The last time I had these services done here (different artists) I was very pleased and loved them. Here are some photos of my lashes after the service. Also a photo to see the difference of my lashes when wearing mascara now vs how they looked just before the service.

    I went in to get a lash lift as I have done several times before and walked out looking like the photos below. I was told this was "normal" which I didn't think was true, but trusted what was being told to me. (I will say that the esthetician was nice and friendly.) Then I waited 24 hours and they still look like this. It's also almost 3 weeks later and they still look like this. I called and went in for a follow up where my esthetician informed me that she has had a concussion and "shouldn't even be at work right now" - excuse me, GBY - but why are you letting someone with a concussion put chemicals near my eyes??? That explains why she let me leave the studio looking like the pictures below! You can't make this up!! I was given some castor oil and a refund 3 days later... then they said they could try to fix it in a couple of days, but I was told that they were all booked up in two days when I wanted to come in and that it was not possible, even though I originally came in a week before I was hosting a holiday party. They said they would call to try to work something out, but didn't. So I went to BeautyHolic by Han in Koreatown and she was so disappointed by the technique and how it was done. Luckily she was able to temporarily fix my brows in time for the party, but said I had to come in in two weeks to retain the semi normal shape. So now I'm spending 2x more than what I was originally planning on! About a week ago I contacted GBY asking for the manager or owner to call or email me to discuss this as it's so unprofessional and a huge disappointment, but they never got back to me. So into yelp! This is completely on GBY Silverlake (the studio. not the esthetician) for being unprofessional and ill-training their staff. Bummer

    Active lash extensions by Courtney
    Rose K.

    Got my first set of active lash extensions by Courtney and she killed it! She gave me exactly what I wanted and was fun to talk with/ overall a comfortable experience. Happy my best friend Austin recommended her and when I came on yelp, I saw Daisy's review and immediately booked. Parking was easy and free in their lot (a plus is the lot is shared with a great salad spot I never tried before). I will definitely be a return customer. Remember if you get a first timer deal like I did to tip on the full amount. It was totally worth it! Thank you Courtney!

    Erika C.

    I am not one to give bad reviews lightly, unfortunately, I feel I needed to share this one. First, I want to say that they are a very lovely shop and Courtney was very nice, pleasant and appeared very confident in her work. I've been getting my lashes done for nearly two years and ventured away from my normal lash lady to try GBY and their activelash hoping they would just be more durable since I workout 5-6 times a week and sweat a lot and shower a lot. They claim it is more water-proof / oil-proof, so I said why not. To be clear, I'm very careful with my lashes and I know how to properly care for them and normally don't need a fill or new set for 4-5 weeks out. Unfortunately the "Activelash" didn't really live up to the title. I went in originally about a month ago for a full set and Courtney had said to come back in two weeks to see how it's going and for a fill... two weeks is pretty short but I said sure ... new place, I'll play along. After my fill 2 weeks in, she did her best from what I could understand and I was fine with it ... apparently one eye was having some growth issues .. and hey, it's my eyes, I could see that and I appreciated her honesty. I was satisfied with the work at the time and went along my way. ( total for full set and fill I spend w/ tip $218). Here I am two and a half weeks after the fill and I'm completely disappointed with what's left. I've never had lashes come out so quickly and in such a shitty way. From what I'm seeing, it looks as though she put too much glue for one thing ... she didn't take the time to properly isolate my lashes cuz they started coming off in clumps where 2-5 lashes were sticking to 2 of my own lashes, and she didn't set them close enough to the root of the lash ... At the time I was so confused why she was done in 45 mins when normally it takes 1.5 - 2 hours for a full set... now I see why. I see they have many loyal clients, and perhaps mine is an isolated incident, but I found it necessary to share my experience.

    Courtney is amazing! Let me just say, I've had my fair share of lash extensions and she is by far the best lash tech I've ever had. I immediately felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. Courtney was so sweet and easy to talk to, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I was so comfortable I ended up napping a little. The procedure took about 1 hour, i was a little skeptical at first because it was so quick, but wow! I couldn't believe my eyes. These are by far the prettiest lashes I've ever had... I am so in love. If you're looking for your lash haven, this is it!!! GBY never disappoints thanks Courtney

    Before and directly after, micro-blading and shading done by Mayra.  Amazing job!
    Raquel Z.

    Got my brows microbladed and shaded by the ever so lovely, Mayra! Got them done 6 weeks ago and they are still lookin fab, couldn't be happier! She walked me through the steps, asked if I had preferences, measured my brows and drew them out perfectly beforehand to make sure I'm happy with the shape and she got it down to the T! It was a 4-5 hour process well worth it. Mayra is the sweetest, and she really listens to what you want. I went with the medium brown shade, and I'm glad I did. They faded out perfectly and look so natural. Just make sure to listen to her aftercare advice for the 10 days after the procedure and you won't be disappointed. It feels amazing to wake up with full brows and it truly cut my morning makeup routine in half. I will definitely be going to back to her for my touch ups. Follow her on IG @derma.graphics to see her amazing work. GBY Beauty in Silverlake is really the cutest little spot. Super friendly staff, cute decor and clean.

    Facial by Lesley
    Josephine L.

    GBY offers a lot of different beauty services ranging from eyelash extensions (which I usually go there for), waxing, tanning and more but last weekend I went in for a facial with Lesley. She is so lovely and highly educated in skin care and she cares. She immediately knew what I needed to work on based on my skin type and the skin care that I needed/ lacked. The extractions can be a little uncomfortable if you're new but it's amazing to get everything out of your face. My favorite part was the mask and steam treatment and waking up with refreshed, breathable baby skin and having direction on what I need to work on afterwards

    1-Star Review: Extremely Disappointed & Shocked by Their Treatment…read more I brought my sister--an elderly woman visiting from out of state--into Sunworks to use one of my credits. She was all prepared, showered, and had her loofah with her, excited to enjoy the experience before we flew out the next day. To our complete shock, they refused to let me gift her one of my credits. No compassion, no flexibility, no customer service. Just a hard "no," even though the credit was paid for and she was only in town briefly. It was upsetting, embarrassing, and honestly baffling. We walked out extremely disappointed. For a business that should value loyal customers, their rigidity and lack of kindness was really disheartening. I don't want to be returning--and I certainly won't recommend Sunworks to anyone who cares about being treated with basic respect and understanding. Valeriemilano.htimes@gmail.com

I first booked a "foreign fill" and came in with bad lashes done by someone else.

I'm not a model or an influencer, just someone who is willing to pay to be low-maintenance! Taking away mascara from my daily routine (applying and removing) saves me TIME, and that is honestly priceless. I wake up in the morning and I'm basically ready to go! Also, her lashes last FOREVER. It's amazing. They only fall out when my natural lashes shed, and my natural lashes look and feel healthy, even after consistent lash extensions for years now. I'm telling you, I am rough on these things. I rollerblade at the beach, and these lash extensions flap around in the wind and do not budge! She's also amazing at placement. My eyes are deep set and the cat-eye (longer at the outer corner) style looks droopy on me. She knew right away that kitten-eye was a better choice for making my eyes look open and awake. Heidi has also become a friend. We talk and laugh and it feels like hanging out. I'm sure she would also let me nap if I wanted to. The bottom line is: she makes me look good and feel good, and if that interests you, go see her for some bomb lashes! I'm including some photos she took of me/my lashes that showcase her work.

At first I was a bit hesitant because I prefer to…read morelearn hands on however I took the chance and had the intention to absorb as much as I can and get the most out of it. Isabel did a great job on explaining DHA, color theory and techniques. She also touches on the Fitzpatrick skin scale (skin types1-6) and how everyone can get a spray tan. She also shares stats of skin cancer and some marketing strategies. I personally have strategically spray tan over 10 people for free. Got content and now use it to promote my business. I was planning to announce mid May because I mentally thought I needed more practice however as I was building brand awareness I've had people reaching out if I was booking yet, and at that point I felt confident to start sooner and why wait. I feel so confident and stand by my investment because I put in what I wanted to get out of it, do the work and figuring it out. Yes I've learned a lot from the training but I also have been learning a lot from just jumping in and tanning people. Not only the training helped with my confidence to spray tan but also there are other opportunities to work with the brand, continue education, and also there's a supportive fb group. I will say this, whether you get a training from her or anyone else YOU should be putting in what you want to get out of it. If you expect to just get clientele just by this training and not doing the work you are not being realistic. I don't have any experience in the spray tan industry and let me tell you if you don't take the time to research, build a business plan and overcome mentally what's holding yourself back it's not going to work. YOU do have to go out and continue practicing and mastering your craft. If I can do this online you can too, it's just on how much do you really want this.

    I really wanted to love this training because I chose it specifically because I wanted to learn…read morefrom someone with experience and leave feeling confident doing spray tans on my own. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I spent my savings on this training because I genuinely believed I was investing in myself and in starting my own business. That made the experience especially disappointing. There was very little information provided overall, and a lot of the classroom portion focused on their products and the brand itself. I understand that learning about the products is important, but I was expecting much more education on the actual techniques, equipment, setup, troubleshooting, and practical knowledge needed to confidently start doing spray tans. When it comes to the hands-on portion, you should be aware that you get very limited one-on-one time with Isabell, and most of the hands-on instruction is done with her other employees. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her employees helping with the training, but I do feel this should be clearly advertised and explained beforehand. I specifically signed up because I wanted to train with someone experienced, so my expectation was that I would be getting substantially more hands-on instruction and experience directly from Isabell. I only had the opportunity to practice on one leg and one arm, and even then, I was being guided by having my hand held through the process. For me, the hands-on portion was the most important reason I chose an in-person training. It was also difficult to watch the other students because computer screens and phones being used to film the Zoom portion were frequently blocking my view. There were also many basic things I expected to learn in a professional spray tanning training that were not covered, such as how to set up and unfold the tent, how to properly clean it, what type of fans to use, different types of spray guns, how to load the gun with solution, different solution options and when to use them, and many other practical aspects of actually doing this as a business. I also wasn't told that I would not be receiving the spray gun until I emailed to ask. What really stayed with me is that during the classroom portion, Isabell talked about taking a training herself that left her feeling like she didn't know what to do afterward. I remember hearing that and thinking that she, of all people, would understand how important it is for students to leave a training feeling prepared, confident, and supported. If I could tell her something honestly and from the heart, it would be this: **I wish that experience had made you want to provide an even better experience for the people who come to learn from you, because unfortunately, that's how I feel I am leaving this training. And I know I'm not the only one.** I understand that there is plenty of information online, and I am completely willing to continue educating myself. But that's not why I paid for a professional training. I spent my savings because I wanted to learn directly from someone experienced and leave feeling comfortable and confident enough to actually start my business. What has been especially disappointing is the communication afterward. I have been going back and forth with them regarding taking another class to "make up" for the experience. I never asked for another full class. **I only asked for the hands-on portion that I feel I did not receive during the training I already paid for.** I don't think it is unreasonable to want the hands-on portion of a hands-on training to actually be hands-on. I went into this with high expectations because of the brand and the experience I believed I was going to receive. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I still have to teach myself many of the things I specifically spent my savings to learn. I am still determined to make this business work, and I will continue learning and practicing on my own. But I wanted to share my honest experience so future students know what to expect and, hopefully, so the training can be improved for others. I truly hope this feedback is taken in the spirit in which it is intended. I am not trying to tear anyone down. I simply wish I had received the experience and hands-on education I believed I was paying for.
