Shortly after I was help by a different lady she was nice and took her time. While I was getting them done the other girl was paying for her eyebrow service. The worker asked cash or card she said card and the worker proceeded to say her total was 12 dollars. Once the other worker was done with my brows she asked me cash or card. I said card today then she told me my total was 13 dollars because of the card fee. I was a little confused because the girl before me paid 12 and paid in card. I didn't say anything I just paid the 13 dollars but it is illegal to charge card fees especially on debit cards. Not to mention I've been to this place multiple times and paid 12 when using my card. I don't mind leaving a tip but it did rub me the wrong way.

I've been going to Thanh @ Lush Eye Bar for 4 years (that's every month for 4 years!) for my lash…read moreextensions and that says a lot about her quality of work, technique, professionalism, and ability to adjust my lashes based on current trends & seasons. My lashes are always in great condition, she takes the time to understand what style lashes you want, and is a perfectionist (which is so important when it comes to the level of detail needed). 5 stars all around - also great parking and super clean / private studio.

For the past year, I've been searching for the perfect person in my area to do my lashes. I've had…read moremany people rush my lashes, causing them to fall off easily and leading to lash loss. I came across Yelp reviews and learned about Lush Eye Bar. I met with Thanh, who educated me about lash growth and the lifespan of each lash, explaining how they differ. We started with a natural look and eventually chose the wispy style of lashes that best suited my face shape and eyes. Thanh is patient, provides great recommendations, and has extensive knowledge gained from over a decade of experience. I look forward to staying with Thanh and continue to see her every 2-3 weeks for maintenance. Thank you, Thanh!

She is professional, highly skilled, and did an exceptional job. Before starting, Tran took the time to discuss the best options that suited my features and preferences. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly caring and explained every step, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. The final result exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Tran to anyone considering permanent eyeliner. You'll be in excellent hands!

Typically, it's for an event or vacation and it always makes me feel so pretty and wake up feeling "ready to take on the world" with confidence. I ask for my lashes to look natural but pretty and she does them beautifully everytime. My favorite part- is she puts a warm blanket on me while I close my eyes and she does her lash magic on me! I'm very low maintenance and Tran never judges me for it. I don't even come back in to to get my lashes removed. After four weeks, they begin to shed and they just fall out one by one they still look nice. Longevity is great. I think next service I would like to try is a "lash lift", where she utilizes my existing lashes and gives it a baby perm and voilà, they can look nice and pretty for two months! Even lower maintenance?!? I guess another review coming soon!

She is a charlatan! She ripped me off! Plain and simple. Parrish charged me $450.00 for a permanent make-up service, which took place over three appointments s. I feel like I got to know her a little bit...which, is why I was so blown away when my "permanent make-up" lasted all of 36 hours. I'm embarrassed because I am 51 years old and I should know better than to trust a total stranger to apply permanent make-up to my eyelids. Well...I guess I have grown to trust YELP too much, as her 5-Star rating caught my attention. PLEASE...save yourself the misery and go to someone else. There are too many people who offer the same service..,but legitimately. If you pay Parrish Blair for anything, I guarantee you, you will be hustled. She is a nice person with a shitty work ethic. Parrish told me that she would provide me "other services," to make-up for her lack of skill in applying my permanent eyeliner. However, when I attempted to redeem this service, she backed out on me with two "emergencies." When asked if she would give me a partial refund, she said "I can't give you money back, I have used it to pay my rent." Really? I could have used it to pay rent. I am not rich, Parrish. I work hard, just like you pretend to do. After making my second appointment, she informed me that she was moving to Atlanta, Georgia, so she wouldn't be able to provide me any services after this January. If that's true (I wonder), she will, hopefully, find another cash flow stream, which she hasn't burned yet. I suppose in Atlanta you can pay more rent with $450.00 than you can in the Bay Area. Oh...but there is yelp in Georgia, too, Parrish....so, get your shit together! Sarah
