MAYBE YA'LL EXPERIENCED A LASH NAP, BUT HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED A BROW NAP?! That's right, ladies. A BROW nap. I napped out like a little baby while Thao worked on my brows today. Now, let me explain. I needed to get my brows done. Last time I had them done were a month before I got married back in 2024! It truly felt like eons ago and I got sick and tired of having to pencil in my brows every morning. That's when I discovered Thao. After peering through dozens of different artists, her work stood out to me the most. I saw that her work looks clean, detail-oriented, and experienced. I knew I had to get in touch with her. On the day of my appointment, she really took the time to understand how my brows were shaped and how to elevate my look. She made sure each angle was perfect, and took very meticulous measurements. Once she got started I literally didn't feel anything. The entire experience was so peaceful, calm, and relaxing, so much so that I fell into my first ever brow nap. After maybe 20 minutes, I woke up to beautiful brows on me. She had me sit up a bit to look at the measurements and ensure that no spot was missed. Then she would lay me back down and continue layering while I fell back into my brow nap. I've had my brows done by other artists several times over the course of 10 years, and this experience was the most calm and relaxing experience I have had! Her office also has a very welcoming, clean, and relaxing vibe inside. I highly recommend Thao for all of your brow needs. She is experienced and simply an amazing human. read more

I'm leaving this review based on my initial inquiry experience, as I never ended up booking an appointment. I reached out to Thao last weekend to discuss what I was looking for in lash extensions. We chatted briefly, and I followed up this week to ask if she had availability for a quick call so I could walk through a few questions. I was told she wasn't available for a call and to text instead, which I did. I sent reference photos of styles I was considering, along with photos of my natural lashes with mascara. I explained that I was between two looks and was hoping for professional guidance, as I've had lash extensions done before and haven't loved the results in the past. I was genuinely trying to be thoughtful and clear so expectations would be aligned. The response I received was surprising and disappointing. I was told that I was "too confusing," that I couldn't decide what I wanted, and that I would confuse her lash techs, so they didn't think they could work with me. The interaction felt dismissive and placed the blame on me for simply asking questions and seeking guidance. While I respect a business's right to choose its clients, I was honestly taken aback by how this was handled. I can't believe a business would turn away a potential client in this manner rather than offering guidance or setting expectations professionally. As a result, I'll be exploring other options. Given the otherwise positive reviews, this experience was unexpected and left a very poor first impression. read more

Angelica is awesome! She did my lash extensions and turns out really nice. Very friendly too.

I knew I wanted to have fuller and better shaped eye brows, but I wasn't exactly sure exactly what the best fit for me was. Thao did a video consultation with me and helped me understand the difference between microblading and nano brows. I had donenother consultations but felt most comfortable with Thao. She explained everything to me about what to expect. When she was mapping and drawing the brows out, she checked in frequently to make sure I was happy with the shape. She was very gentle and the table even had massagers built in! Overall really great experience and I love my brows. Will definitely return for touch ups and would refer anyone looking to get their brows done, to see Thao. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Thao. She's extremely gentle and the results are very natural.

Outstanding service and beautiful space (plus ample parking). From the moment I arrived I was greeted by friendly team. I had the Korean lash lift and tint with Jenny, the results are amazing. I'm no stranger to lash lift, but new to Korean technique. It's much more curled and the tint looks like a light coat of mascara. Highly recommended. Plus comfy massage on calves. read more

My daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Thao SD Lashes. I was booked with Amber, and my daughter had Jenny--and we could not have been happier with both artists. This was only my second time getting lash extensions in over ten years, and it was my daughter's very first experience. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The environment was calm, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing--we both actually fell asleep during the service, which says everything about how gentle and professional the process was. There was zero stinging or discomfort, and the results were beautiful. The lashes look natural, full, and perfectly tailored to each of us. The level of care, skill, and attention to detail was exceptional. I highly recommend Thao SD Lashes, and especially Amber and Jenny, for anyone considering lash services--whether it's your first time or you're returning after years away. We will absolutely be back. read more

So, so happy I chose Thao for my first time getting powdered brows! The entire experience was amazing from before I even booked all the way to the end of the service. She was super responsive and incredibly accommodating with my schedule, even after a couple complications and reschedules on my part. It's obvious she truly cares about her craft and about what her clients want. The shape, the color, the tint--everything was chef's kiss. Even the pricing was fair and transparent. The studio environment was so relaxing I literally fell asleep. I can't recommend her enough. Support this business! read more

Amber did above & beyond on my first ever set! The ambiance is so girly and thoughtful (sleepy music, pink decor, massage tables that massage you as your lashes are done, etc.) I showed 2 inspo pics and they match perfectly. Definitely recommend, I will be coming back! read more

Perfect for my first time! Amber was gentle and took her time! The massage machine was great while my lashes were getting done! Very accommodating! Very soft vibe! read more

Loved my lashes. Jessica is wonderful. Highly recommend! She was gentle, professional, and talented.

I had a wonderful experience with Amber! She really goes the extra mile for comfort--I was treated to a cozy blanket and a massaging bed during the service. I was impressed that there was no harsh chemical smell from the perm solution at all. I specifically asked for a natural lift rather than an intense, vertical look, and Amber knew exactly what to do--she suggested a C-curl to give me that perfect 'natural but better' enhancement. I'm so happy with the results. Thank you, Amber! read more

Excellent work, customer service, cleanliness and overall I love her work! I booked on a whim after doing some minimal research but I am happy I did! read more
