I arrived a bit early for my appointment, and I was told the lash tech was running a little behind which I understood. However, she didn’t show up until more than 10 minutes after our scheduled time, which felt a bit unprofessional.
This was my first time ever getting lash extensions done, and I explained that I wanted a natural look. Once we started, everything seemed fine at first, but it quickly became clear the technician was still learning. Someone who I assume was her supervisor kept instructing her from across the room, and the entire time she was applying the lashes, she kept slightly opening the opposite eye she was working on with her palm and covering my nose.
After a little over two hours, we were done. I didn’t feel any burning right away just some discomfort I thought was from the tape and closing my eyes for a while. My eyes were watering so we had a fan on my eyes for a bit then I paid (over $100, not including the tip) and left. Later that day, my eyes turned extremely red and irritated. The next day, I found out I had a chemical burn, likely caused by her opening my eyes during the glue application.
I followed all the aftercare rules exactly like they told me but a little over a week later, I only have about two lashes left on one eye. I don’t think that’s normal for what I paid.
Overall, I appreciated the kindness of the staff, but I think it’s important for clients to be aware of the skill level of the technician, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as eyes. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return or recommend this place based on my experience.

I visited Lux and Lash for two services so far. both services were with Dre who was amazing! so kind helpful and good at what she does!

Second was a spray tan. The color of the spray tan is amazing! I went with the medium color - and it...
Read moreFrom the moment I walked into Luxe + Lash I knew my experience would be exceptional. The professional but friendly staff and comfortable environment immediately put me at ease as I settled in for a hydro facial with Dre. Being my first ever facial, Dre took extra care explaining how it would work, what to expect and to let her know if I felt discomfort at any point during the facial. She quickly demonstrated her expertise in facials and had a positive and calming bedside manner. I will soon be returning to Luxe + Lash for another hydro facial with Dre and recommend their services to anyone (man or woman) looking for a little self-love. I’d give more than 5...
