Simply Beauty-Haymarket, VA in Haymarket, VA

I felt uncomfortable after getting my lashes done bc the tech (Sally) told me her family was racist and at the end of the service I reached for a pair of glasses at the end of the table (I thought they were mine and couldn't see well ) and the tech said, "please don't take those I need them to see!" As if I was going to steal her glasses. I got a chemical burn in the same session. When I reported all this to Michaela she told me it didn't sound like her coworker would say that and said my eye cream was the cause of the chemical burn. I also told Michaela that Sally was rude about my eye twitching. I have disabilities from a stroke and there's kinder ways to discuss things, she said there was nothing she could do about that. I asked if I could make my next session when Sally wasn't there and I was told not to come back. After she talked to Sally she asked if I could speak to me again but her initial response told me enough.

I waited until I had over a year with Brittney doing my lashes every 3 weeks since Aug 2021 to write a review. For starters, I don't think that eyelash extensions are for everyone Pros with these extensions: I have been lusting after others long lashes and vowed I would get them but always chickened out (cost, time factor). However, my little asian eyes don't have a lot of natural lashes, so I knew that this is the ONLY way to get this look. I didn't want to do daily glue on extensions, and mascara/lash curling didn't really do anything. I can't believe how much these lashes changed my face -- I got so many compliments from friends who could see them even through video calls and pics online! The lashes changed the look of my face so much - I look younger, and it really makes me look like I lost 10 pounds...so awesome! Also I used to do daily eyeliner and mascara on my eyes which really irritated my eyes with my contacts. Now, NOTHING!! Even when I have no makeup on, I still look great - and once I get my eyebrows micro bladed, I won't really have to wear hardly any makeup! You can get classic, volume (where they add multiple lanes per one natural lash), or a combo of both of them. I get the mix, as the classic fall out and don't last. I can get 3 weeks wear and get them refilled. Cons with extensions: Lots of upkeep and maintenance. Not for the faint hearted. You can't wash your face under the shower (you have to cup your eyes if you are facing the shower head.) You have to be careful of hot saunas and hot tubs. You can't sleep on your face or rub your eyelashes or eyes. You have to rinse or wash them and brush them daily (buy Stacy's lash wash on Amazon.) You often worry about them falling out....and you have to take the time and money every 2 - 3 weeks to get them refilled. So, you have to do your own decision as to getting your eyelashes. For me, I drive out from Great Falls to this place every 3 weeks because the service and price is worth it. Service (5/5): Brittney and Samantha both work here. I have had Brittney every time. She is so gentle that I always fall asleep when she does my refills (they last about 45 mins.). Value (5/5): I have read multiple reviews on Yelp for other eyelash services and this place definitely has great prices. Cleanliness (2/5): My only recommendation for the business is to put clean sheets (changed every time) on the beds and pillows that you lie on...The beds are super comfy but sometimes look a bit dirty. I am considering bringing my own towel to put on the pillow. Pro Tip: I bring my own wrap and slippers so I can relax while Brittney is doing my refills (about 45 min). I usually put on my audio book and fall asleep, it's so relaxing. If you wear contacts, remember to take them out beforehand (there's a bathroom next door) and put on your glasses.

This place completely ruined my natural lashes. I went here for a year and regret it so much. Michaela was extremely unprofessional. She was always late and would be on her phone WHILE doing my lashes. Her hands would go from her dirty phone back to my lashes. I found a new place and they were shocked at how terribly the lashes were applied and how ruined my real lashes were. DO NOT GO HERE BE CAREFUL!

Alyssa did my lashes yesterday. She was recommended by a friend. I went because I loved how my friend lashes look unfortunately I didn't get what I asked for. I'm not new to getting lashes. I reached out to her on Instagram that I wasn't happy. All I asked was for them to be a bit longer and noticeable. I contact her twice, called the office and got no response. The only way I got contacted back was because I remember I had the receptionist cell phone number. They let me know they can't do anything and then Alyssa blocked me on social media. It's all just VERY unprofessional. I spent good money on something I don't like and it can't be fixed. Pretty much a scam. VERY poor customer service. I wouldn't waste my time here.

I've been getting my lashes done for the past two years by Samantha. I've enjoyed nothing but amazing work and amazing service by both Samantha and Michaela. They are so accommodating and beyond skilled at lashing. I highly, highly recommend
