I went here to get my lash extensions removed. The lady was really nice when I first came in, but…read moreonce she put the remover on my lashes, she went straight onto TikTok Live and basically stopped paying attention to me. The remover was left on way too long, and at one point she came over and rubbed it into my lashes with her bare fingers. After sitting there for around 15 minutes, I finally had to call her over and ask how much longer it would be. She then started removing my lashes rather aggressively and got the remover in my eyes. It burned so badly that I couldn't keep bear it and had to sit up and it was just awful and i was cursing and all this things because of how bad it was. She tried wiping it away with a wet cotton pad, but it just made the burning worse (mixing the water and the BURNING solution into my eye). I ended up having to go into their bathroom to rinse my own eyes out, and the bathroom was honestly disgusting so that sucked too. The craziest part is she didn't even remove all of my lash extensions. She charged me $25 like everything was fine and didn't apologize once. I sat in my car for a few minutes, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized I shouldn't have paid for a service that wasn't even completed and left me in so much pain. I went back inside to ask for a refund, and she immediately started arguing with me. She kept saying the burning was "normal." I've had my lashes done and removed before, and this was way beyond normal irritation. Her only solution was to have me sit back down so she could finish removing them, which I obviously wasn't comfortable with after what had just happened.When I asked to speak to someone else, she said she was the manager. She just stood there asking me what I wanted, and when I asked for a refund, she shrugged and refused. I honestly don't know if they're properly trained or certified to be doing lash removals. Leaving chemicals on while you're distracted on TikTok Live, using your bare hands around someone's eyes, and sending someone home with lashes still on after getting remover in their eyes is completely unacceptable. I definitely won't be coming back and will be escalating this issue to the city. Such a terrible attitude for 25 dollars, they must be desperate.

Amazing job on my make up and lashes. Was the bell of the ball!

My skin is sensitive and gets crazy red and pimple-y after a wax. I appreciate that she took the extra step to apply some cream to calm down the red. Finally, she is so pleasant to talk to! I will definitely be going back and am thankful such a nice person and place are in the neighborhood.

This place was amazing when the actual mario had it managed , but now theres this stupid indian lady ( NOOR )that use to work for him some how took over . ever since she became the owner everything there is so bad , i had her do my eyebrows she keeps fucking it up !! she doesnt even clean it good , she misses alot of hair . she takes too much or she 'will leave it un clean this happens to me every time i go to her she never listens to what i have to say shes always talking over me its like she doesnt have time for any body . i think she is blind because she always leaves hair on unwanted spots on the brows. she has an attitude ,she thinks she knows everything .she also smells sweaty all the time i have to gagg when i sit on the chair . shes nothing but a typical Indian money hungry bitch !!!! the place is nasty now i see alot of BAD Changes ever since mario sold it her ! good luck to everry1 that uses her .

Tell me why I walked out looking like the back of a mushroom had a baby with a lampshade. My hair now has two distinct time zones, one for the upper hemisphere and one for the lower. I literally have a bob sitting on top of another haircut like it's doing squats. Hair done by Robin: The stylist said, "Trust the process." BABE, THE PROCESS FAILED. I trusted, and now I look like a Wi-Fi router with split ends. The top half of my head is giving 1950s housewife, while the bottom is giving disappointed poodle. People have stopped me on the street to ask if it's performance art. When I asked the stylist , Robin to fix it, she said, "It's edgy." No, girl, it's a crime scene. My reflection looks like it's buffering. I can't even tie it up because it looks like I'm wearing a helmet made of sadness. I showed Robin a picture of a sleek layered cut -- she must've thought I said layered cake, because she baked me something that defies gravity, taste, and basic hairstyling ethics. My friends have renamed me "Hairpod 2.0." My own mother asked if I lost a bet. Even my shampoo bottle refuses to acknowledge me. If you love yourself, your dignity, and the concept of symmetry, do not come here, especially not with Robin. Go anywhere else. Cut it yourself with kitchen scissors. Let a toddler do it.
