~ LASHES REVIEW ~ So…read moreas previously mentioned, I caved and got megavolume lash extensions here. Now I'm addicted and have to get them forever. It's a blessing and a curse. My first lashes appointment was with Fernanda and they looked great, but they all fell out when I went on vacation and my face was assaulted by the wind and salt water of the Pacific - I also didn't know you have to wash them to prevent oily buildup, so yeah. I came back two weeks later with literally no extensions left and had to pay for a full set all over again rather than a touch-up. I do wish they had told me about needing to wash them, because I really wasn't provided with the full aftercare instructions the first time I got them. But, now I know. They sell a special foam wash and gentle applicator for the soap here, which I recommend purchasing. My second session was with Viktoriia, who is absolutely incredible. Mynx & Inks is definitely out of the way if you live in DC, but it's worth it for the fair pricing and amazing quality.

Wish I could give zero stars. The owner is the worst. I scheduled an appointment first thing in the…read moreAM and rang the doorbell since the store wasn't opened. I waited at least 30 minutes and when she finally showed she tried to blame me for being late. But more importantly they use so much glue on my lashes that it made my lashes brittle. I noticed my lashes kept breaking so I stopped going. Now I go to Sen Lashes. Not only is Sen Lashes super gentle on my lashes but the owner is super sweet and accommodating.

I recently started going here for the sugaring services. Nita is so kind and makes me feel so…read moreincredibly comfortable during the sugaring. She always lets me know when she thinks I should prepare myself for a painful removal and does such a thorough job. I have gone to other places for waxes, and Nita is the first person who has made me feel comfortable enough to keep coming back. If you're nervous to try sugaring, I highly suggest working with Nita at Luxury Lashes! You won't regret it!

I never write reviews but this one I had to…read more. Short version: DONT GO THERE, SHE WILL RUIN YOUR REAL LASHES long version lol: I am from out of town and my friend said she used her years ago and liked her lashes so I booked an appt Thursday. Had some car issues so I text her asking if I could move it to Friday and she gave me a new time no problem. Friday I come for my appointment she is very nice. I had a set of lashes already from another random lash tech that needed a fill and she said they looked crazy and it would be better for her to take them off and put a new set so I said that was fine. During the session I had to tell her a few times about the burning and she said it would go away. Then she was being a little rough and I mentioned it but she attempted to be softer and I was already in the middle of the application so whatever She finished my lashes and they looked pretty so I was happy. I get to my car and see the time and couldn't believe it had only took her an hour to remove my lashes and do a full set. I've had my lashes done for 3 years and nobody has ever come close to that. But I had no problem with that since they looked fine from what I could see 4 days later I see why it was so fast, she had put lash extensions on clumps of my natural lashes instead of a single lash which is how it is supposed to be. So when you glue multiple natural lashes together they grow at different rates so eventually the slower growing ones will get pulled out. So my lashes were feeling weird from this pulling and I text her to tell her the problem and so she could fix it She got super weird and aggressive and said there was no way that happened and was telling me all the people she does lashes for. And she "remembered me" and started making up weird things that I had apparently done (no idea what she was talking about). I told her I would send her a video and she said she didn't want a video and she can remove them for free. I asked if she could fix it not remove and she said "I guess I can deal with you again" LOL So I told her I would write a review because there is no way I would let a crazy person that makes things up and is aggressive touch my face, I thought she was normal from my appointment but clearly she's not. She's nice unless you tell her that her work is bad (which it is) Don't let her mess up your real lashes, you wouldn't even know because they look fine, Honestly I wouldn't have known if my lash techs hadn't explained this to me in the past she just didn't realize I know how lashes are applied. Not nice lady getting over on people to take less time tisk tisk It wouldn't let me post a video so I put a few pictures to show what is all over my eyes And I'm sure she will respond to this because she is ..... so you can see for yourself lol

DO NOT come here if you care about the health of your brows. I paid $135 for a brow threading,…read moretint, and lamination package on Wednesday, May 20 at 11:15 AM. It is now May 27 -- one week later and my brows are sparse, damaged, and actively falling out. I am including before and after photos. In the before photos you can see my natural brows. Thick, full, and well-defined from the head all the way through the tail. In the after photos you can see the tail of both brows is now sparse and fragmented, with hairs visibly scattered and damaged. This is not fading. This is structural damage. Here is what happened: When I arrived I was immediately handed a consent form and pressured to sign it on the spot with no advance notice. When I took out my phone to photograph the form (so I could reference the aftercare instructions I was agreeing to follow) I was told I was not allowed to take pictures. I have never had a service provider refuse to let me document a form I'm being asked to sign. Before the lamination, she threaded my brows so aggressively that I was visibly shocked. I have had brow laminations many times. Every other technician I've been to takes off as little hair as possible before a lamination because the entire point is to create a full, fluffy result. When I asked her directly what look we were going for, she dismissed my concern and said they would be fluffy once she was finished. They were not. During the chemical processing (a timed procedure where monitoring is critical) she left me to perform threading on two walk-in customers. This is almost certainly why my brows were over-processed. This has never happened to me before at other establishments. When I asked for aftercare instructions before leaving, she pointed me at a poster on the wall for Elleebana Lash Lift maintenance. That is a lash lift aftercare card, a completely different service. I was never given written brow lamination aftercare, just a quick verbal "no fluids or oils for 48 hours". I followed the 48 hour rule to a tee. I take the process very seriously because, of course, I don't want to waste my money. Results: my brow tint was completely gone by day 4. Brow tint should last 4-6 weeks. One week out, my brows are dry, brittle, and falling out every time I brush them. Hair loss is not a listed risk in their consent form. This is not a normal outcome. This is what happens when a chemical treatment is over-processed and left unmonitored. I have the consent form documented (I took a picture before she tried to tell me I couldn't, Thank GOD I did!!). I am pursuing a full refund and will be filing a complaint with the Maryland State Board of Cosmetologists. Do not risk your brows here.

I visited Gina Threading in Rockville for a cleanup, asking to maintain my natural shape and…read morethickness, which I had grown for 10 years and was happy with. Gina, the owner, thinned and reshaped them despite my instructions. When I raised concerns, Gina deflected, insisted I was happy, refused a refund, and told me she didn't care if I left her a negative review. So, here's my review. If you care about your brows, I would avoid this place at all costs. You've been warned and I hope this review helps others avoid the same disappointment.

I stumbled upon this spa in a business complex full of buildings and had no idea what to expect…read more From the outside, it was very unassuming--but don't let that fool you! The staff greeted me warmly and invited me to relax in a cozy waiting area with soothing music. I was then introduced to Jenny, who was absolutely the sweetest and had truly magical hands. I had purchased a Groupon for a scalp massage and mini facial, and it ended up being one of the most relaxing, rejuvenating experiences I've had. You change into an adorable snap-front wrap (just remove your top and bra), and the experience begins with the facial. I never realized how much tension I was holding in my face until Jenny worked her magic! The products all had delicate, calming scents that made the experience even more enjoyable. Next came a neck, shoulder, and chest massage... followed by the scalp massage. Wow. I think I actually dozed off for a few minutes--it was heavenly. If you're someone who loves having your hair washed at the salon, this is an experience you absolutely need to try. After the massage, your hair is shampooed and conditioned before you move to a styling chair for a partial blow dry. One of the coolest parts was that Jenny used a special camera to examine the health of my scalp. We could actually see everything on a screen! Thankfully, my scalp looked healthy overall, and we even spotted some baby hairs growing in. The only issue was a little dryness on the top of my head, and she simply recommended a serum if I wanted to improve it--no sales pressure at all, just a helpful suggestion. To finish the experience, I was offered a complimentary drink, and I happily chose the ginger tea. This was such a wonderful, peaceful experience from beginning to end. If you're looking to unwind and treat yourself, I would absolutely recommend it!

I've came here several times for a few services (massage, facial, and head spa) and have enjoyed my…read moreexperience each time. They have specials (check their website) and sometimes are on Groupon. Of the three services I've gotten, my favorite is the massage (the pressure applied is perfect for me) and least favorite the head spa (I prefer when they use less tools and more hand). After my facials, my skin feels so hydrated and renewed (I even fall asleep sometimes!). Highly recommend Rosewood Spa if you're looking for some self-care and what to treat yourself.

I've been getting my lashes done for a while now (and bleeding money wherever I go), but Eterna is…read moreone of the few places where the lashes are actually worth the price. I got my lashes done with Lucie!! She's definitely an expert, and immediately made me feel super comfortable (btw: if you have any photos of the type of extensions you want, definitely bring them as they're a nice touchpoint). I'm not going to lie, I wasn't as helpful as I could have been, but even with just a rough idea of what I liked (general style + number of lashes), Lucie understood what I wanted. The end result is my lashes are gorgeous and I'm in love. They've also been falling out slower than when I get my lashes done elsewhere, so super happy with the result. Highly, highly recommend coming here, even if you're a lash newbie and just want to try out extensions!

I know Lucy and Ken for long time now and they never disappoint. They are my to go techs when it…read morecomes to get my lash extensions. Lucy is always so calm and patience. Striving to give me the look for the right event. Ken is a little bit quiet at the beginning, but once you are a regular he becomes more comfortable and talkative, every time I get my volume set, he makes me look wonderful!!!! If you want long lasting extension with the best placement, give them a try and you won't regret and most likely will be changing your current lash tech for them. That is how good they are.

My favorite eyelash tech got her own place!! Been here three times already--I like the studio…read morebecause it has a more personal feel, just you and Lily. Soothing music is played in the background and the bed is comfy. Lily does a great job with my eyelash extensions--I LOVE how they turn out and I always get so many compliments! I prefer a more natural style but she does classic, hybrid or volume styles, based on your preference. Pricing is reasonable and she offers 20% discount for new customers. When arriving outside, just look for the "5806" building, go inside and the studio is right there--super clean and chic, with a private bathroom too. The online booking system is pretty straight forward and easy to make an appointment--highly recommend this place!

It's such a great feeling to wake up like this - with brows AND lashes :) Crystal is such a perfectionist in everything she does. She's constantly taking new courses, and studying new techniques to grow her business. She's patient, knowledgeable, and after 4-5 years of seeing her I don't trust anyone else with my face and skincare recommendations. Thank you, Crystal!! I've been seeing Crystal for about a year now. I get so many compliments on my lashes - they look natural enough, but I don't wear any makeup except foundation so they really stand out. She's amazing and I refuse to see anyone else. Her new space is so comforting that I almost want to keep my eyes open while my lashes are being done :) now that she's in Rockville, it's not exactly an easy commute for me (living in Lake Ridge, VA), but she's so worth the extra miles. I trust her completely with my face, so I plan on getting my brows microbladed by her as well. So excited for that!
