NOTE: This review is about Noir Lash Lounge, as a business--not specific to my technician, and not about lash extensions in general (which a lot of lash newbies tend to do). The quality of your technician is always going to vary at these places, so unless you are referred to one specific person, your actual lash result may vary a bit. I've gotten eyelash extensions at a few different places before, but all in the US (in New York City, to be exact).
I would first like to say that this place is significantly better than 90% of eyelash extension places in New York. This is a really cute place with great customer service! My technician was super friendly and accommodating, which made the whole experience very pleasant. You actually feel like a valued customer, unlike many of the eyelash "factories" in New York. And as if that wasn't enough, my technician called me 1 week after my appointment to check in and make sure everything was going well with my lashes. What??? Nobody gives a crap about how your lashes are holding up in New York eyelash places (unless you are going somewhere that charges 3x the amount). I love this place!
The one weird thing was the removal process. When removing my previous set of lashes, there was a noticeable burning sensation that they gave me a wet towel to "cool my eyes" from. I've never had a burning sensation from removal before, and the woman who did my lashes told me it's because the solution they use is actually gentler and better for my lashes than what many places usually use. I'm still not sure if this is true, but I'm over it now, so whatevs. -

I have mixed opinions about this place...the customer service is always great, once your on file.Having said that... lashes only ever last 2 weeks.When I get them done...Fabulash!! Lol...but after 2 weeks.My lashes are limp and sparse...I have heard all the excuses and I know their is some truth. but the reality is I have had my lashes last for 6 weeks from other salons.
I am tired of going in every 2 weeks for a fill charging me more monies ...what so I Have to come back?? and then telling me finally that I have weakened my lashes by having them done every 2 weeks...LMAO.
I hate a Bad Hustle just as much as Poor Craftsmanship...not sure if it's the glue they use or what!? But I promised myself they would receive a fair review.
Overall it's Pricey! Not worth the time and effort! -

My first introduction to Groupon delivered me on the doorstep of this fancy establishment. After seeing the deal - $30 for three faux eyelash applications worth a value of $60, I bought in, and then read the details. So basically, they are going to stick false eyelashes on me for a "one night out" excursion. Seems kinda pricey to me since I can do them myself for free. In any case, I called them up to see if I could make an appointment since I've always got crazy shit going on on the weekend. The lady on the phone was super helpful in explaining to me exactly what my Groupon entailed, and let me know I could also use the discount towards a pair of eyelash extensions - which is what I ended up doing.
My first trip to Noir I went with the longest lashes (14), even though the lady working there disagreed with my choice, and insisted that they wouldn't last as long because they would be very heavy on my eyes, and suggested I try something a bit shorter and more natural. Nope. Not for me. Over the top is how I roll. I want to give you that "come hither" look from across the room and besides, I am half drag queen after all
However, as much as they like to make you think it's going to be a relaxing experience getting them on, its not really. Imagine yourself sitting on a couch with your head titled all the way back so the back of your head is touching your back for about 30 minutes straight. Like if you had come home drunk and sat on the couch to watch TV but passed out. Yea, it gets a little cramped. Not to mention all the stuff they put on your eyes so they can single out your lashes to put the extensions on - it wasn't my favourite, but its the price of beauty.
If you are going to get this done, don't wear mascara to your appointment, they will make you rub that shit off until your eyes bleed, but the lashes won't stay on other wise, so it is necessary. After the lashes are attached, I was asked if I wanted an eyebrow massage..... wtf? Err.... no..... thanks...... first off, I don't have a lot of eyebrows, so if I had an eyebrow massage, my eyebrows would get rubbed off, secondly, what the fuck is an eyebrow massage?
The lady doing my lashes showed me the bags of lashes when she was finished. Imagine little bags filled with half-curled hairs... unfortunately the first words out my mouth were "omg they look like pubes!" followed by maniacal laughter. As I am sure you can imagine the staff were horrified by me.
My total after tax was $64.... which didn't make much sense to me since it's $75 for a full set, minus the $20 from the Groupon, should equal $55 plus tax at 12% is only $61.6... and then tip... how much do people tip for this shit?
My second visit was with someone else and this time I wore no mascara, but was surprised that she didn't even ask me to remove my eye makeup (eyeliner and whatnot). She quickly went to work applying lashes - we didn't even confirm on a size I just said shoter than last time, since they only lasted 2-3 weeks. She threw on some 11's - which were much less dramatic (obviously) and she was done in about 30 minutes, which seemed a little rushed. However she only charged me for a half set, since apparently my lashes are small and weak (yea its true) so she didn't want to put on longer lashes or too many lashes because my lashes need to grow and strengthen first. The half set only cost me like $23 or something - which seemed strange - as th half set on the website is listed at $35 (minus the Groupon of $20) should have been less... I probably should have asked about the cost when I was there, maybe they need to update thier website?
My last and final use of my groupon - the grand finale if you will, was with yet another girl, she put a full set of 12's on me, and it took the full hour. They looked great for a couple of days, but most of them fell out within the first week. It now looks like I have a half set, which isn't a bad thing because at least they fell out evenly.
Overall, Noir Lash Lounge is alright, and now that I have used up all of my groupon I don't have to go back, but I probably will. It's on my way home, and I do love having longer lashes, so I will probably stop in now and then when I have special events going on, cuz it's sure easier to wake up with lashes for an all-day expo than worry about fake ones falling off half way through the day. -

Apparently "manly-glam, but still unrealisitically long, like if Ryan 'Baby Goose' Gosling was a lady, but like a sort of David Bowie lady, and she and Iceman from Top Gun had a son who went to cowboy school for a few years before dropping out due to feeling like there was nothing else to learn that the streets wouldn't teach him"-lashes are too difficult for Noir Lash Lounge. I even brought a photo.
Next time I'll just go for butterflies I guess. -

I came in here after doing extensive research and reviews on lash extension services in Vancouver. Let's just say I came in with high hopes and high expectations (due to the amount of positive feed back, like bambi eyes?) and I was very disappointed.
I booked an appointment for 1pm and told the receptionist that it would be my first time ever getting this done. She said that was fine and that the person doing my lashes would give me an extensive consultation. I came in a little bit earlier and waited patiently as my lash stylist was still working on a different client. When it was my turn she seated me on one of their comfortable sofas and began explaining to me my options. I'm Asian, so yes I have the typical non existent short sparse lashes that all we Asian girls complain about. I told her that I wanted a thick and dramatic look. She then told me that since my eyelashes were so short she could only give me the 12mm lashes with the medium thickness ("it'll look like two coats of mascara" as she described it). So not knowing any better I had agreed and let her do her thing since this is her job.
Less than 30 minutes later she was done. I don`t know if this is suppose to be normal? Because according to the reviews and their website it states that the application usually takes around 1.5-2 hours? So how is it that she had finished so quickly. I was clearly bewildered. She gave me a small handheld mirror so I could look at the results, and I was not impressed. Maybe even a little bit sad. I did not have Bambi eyes or long lush full thick lashes that so many people describe. You could barely even tell that I had lashes, and if I were to wear eyeliner or any dark eyeshadow then the lashes would just be non-existent altogether. I got the full set too, just in case you`re wondering.
The girl didn`t give me any instructions on how to take care of my lashes, I had to keep asking her questions instead. And during my lash application, the two girls working were discussing their paychecks and how there was a new rule that they had to give away a percentage of their tips???? I just thought that was a bit unprofessional, and probably against company policy to be discussing such things especially when a customer is there!
I paid my $80, tipped the girl $10 and got out of there. So now i`m waiting patiently for these lashes to shed off.... -

My first red flag about Noir: I noticed that NONE of the girls working there actually have their lashes done, not even the "Lash Dip" which is supposed to be good for your lashes... Wouldn't you want to show off your product if it was safe and healthy for your lashes? Hmmmm...
As some people have mentioned, my first time going to Noir was amazing. I was treated like a princess and my lashes looked bangin' coming out of the shop. They lasted for almost 6 weeks because I was extremely anal with taking care of them and I couldn't wait to go back for another set!
The second time I went in (and saw a different tech), I decided to go for a fill rather than a removal and new set. Big mistake. The lashes that hadn't grown out prior to my fill were used as anchors for the new lashes she was filling in... I had several large clumps of lashes paired with several large gaps. It was extremely unattractive. I asked my technician if she could try to fill in the gaps a little better, but she said my natural lashes weren't healthy enough to support more weight? As I was on my way out I noticed how HEAVY my lids actually were! Upon further inspection at home, I saw HUGE clumps of visible lumpy adhesive and more of the lashes had fallen out on my way from the shop. I was so incredibly disappointed; two days after my "fill", my lashes looked worse off than ever!
I decided to give the place one more try. When I called to book my appointment, I requested someone with a little more experience - due to what happened at my last appointment. The person who answered the phone scoffed at me and said she would "see what she could do" and hung up without confirming my appointment for a new set. I was worried at this point. Went in for my appointment, and the technicians were standing around talking and looked less than impressed to be actually at work. The technician wasn't careful or gentle with me at all. She used WAYYYY too much solution to break down the adhesive. My eyes were stinging and burning so bad I actually started bawling and had to ask her to stop. (Note, I've NEVER had this happen before while getting lash extensions) Her response? "Well you have to stop opening your eyes, sweety" in the bitchiest tone ever. Um, hello, MY EYES WERE TAPED SHUT!!!!! I was so mad and in so much pain I almost asked her to stop at this point. Not surprisingly, my lashes were rushed (under an hour) and looked like garbage. I told my tech I wasn't happy with the result or the service, and she kind of shrugged as she ran my debit through.
I've also seen mass ads on various lower mainland job boards for eye lash techs for Noir. I know this business is going through rapid expansion, but is the turn over really that bad?
Two stars? Yes. Way too pricey for the service received.
Two words? QUALITY CONTROL! Seeing a different tech each time is so frustrating in terms of both relationship building AND quality of service received.
A word to Noir: Women (usually) pick and are loyal to ONE nail tech, ONE hair dresser, ONE waxer etc etc and STICK with that one person due to the quality of service received. Expecting your employees to all have the same level of skill is ridiculous and unreasonable.
A word to my Yelp ladies: Try lash extensions at Juice Salon or The Studio (Makeup by Mika) for WAY better quality at a WAY better price. -

I usually alternate between Noir and La Lotus. It's a bit hit and miss because they have different people all the time. My first experience, the woman did a great job but I thought the staff were pretty unprofessional because all they were doing was talking about their weekend escapades - hello! there's someone here!
I opted to get 11 and 2's. Don't get natural looking lashes, because you'll still want to use mascara - so really what's the point? no. 2 in thickness makes it look like you have 2 coats of mascara and they're perfect. I'm going for longer ones today, so maybe 12's or 13's. if i go any longer or thicker I'll probably be entering the more pornish look (boooo).
The second time the service was better but my lashes started falling out within a couple days, which made me check out La Lotus instead.
After a while, you get a good understanding of how exactly you want your lashes. I don't like them to be too long near the inner corners as I find it difficult to get lighter colour shadow off of them. I find that the ones on the corner call off first so I ask them to add a couple extra ones. In between fills, I just add a couple of fake lashes here and there but make sure not to stick them to the lashes. It's impossible to get off if you glue the fake ones to the lash extensions. I also take great care in washing my face and removing my eye make up.Comment from Joyce P. of Noir Lash Lounge 3/6/2012

My first visit here was great. The girl was really nice and she did a good job. But after that all the other girls just didn't do good. There was one time I went there to buy some of their products and I asked the girl few questions and she replied, I don't really know just read the labels. What a bad customer service!!! Some of them are not friendly as well. Last time I was there I asked the girl if I can request for her to do my lashes again because she did good. She said they don't take requests. It's only who's available. So I never came back. There are other places that you can get your lashes done at a cheaper price and they will do a better job and excellent customer service.

Finally, being able to wake up pretty!
Loved the service and the lashes... They probably would have lasted a lot longer if I didn't get drunk and pull them all out one by one.
I would definitely go back before a beach side vacation or something like that. But I have issues with things being glued to me and value eye rubbing too much to rock these 24/7.
Awesome though, they can do subtle to porn star. As long as you can compromise your quality eye rubbing time you will be in lash heaven.Comment from Joyce P. of Noir Lash Lounge 11/15/2011

I love my lashes & they looked amazing for my friends wedding. Good experience all around.
BUT
What no one tells you:
-they hurt!
-when they fall out they take your real lashes with them :(
-you can't use mascara (you don't need to...)
If you don't plan on getting regular refills (or just doing this once for a special occasion) DON'T. Just stick with the Quo lashes you can get at Shoppers, you can still use mascara and eye makeup & take them off!
I am now patiently waiting for them all to fall out and hoping I still have lashes at the end of this experience.Comment from Joyce P. of Noir Lash Lounge 2/1/2011

"Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl"
Okay, so maybe it's not quite like Madonna in the 80's but getting semi-permanent lashes, is definitely only cosmetically motivated.
I have those poker straight, flimsy, lashes that bend awkwardly when curled and require a heap of mascara to make a teenie-weenie impact. And then there was the invention of the Lash Lounge.
The deal: You go in, you sign a waiver that says they aren't responsible if they poke you with their tweezers etc, and then you lay back for an hour on a couch while they work their tweezers and black glue.
My beefs:
-I know they have hand sanitizer and a bathroom onsite, but my lash-girl didn't once wash her hands.
-The glue - twice the glue reached the inner area of my eye - the part that rubs against you eyeball - and twice I was told there was nothing they could do about it. If this happens to you - they can do something about it - but it's not comfortable. They rub some non-oily makeup remover to loosen it (this takes a while) and then, if your eye is steady enough they'll use tweezers to peel the glue off.
My two trials:
-The first set was so noticeable that everyone commented, which is, afterall, what I wanted. But they were so long they touched my eyebrows (and I couldn't wear glasses) and so heavy that my eyes hurt at the end of the day. But they were pretty! Like bambi!
-My second set are much more natural - which I love, but the lashes have been falling out non stop, which is a pain!
My Recommendations:
-Make sure you find out exactly how long your lashes will be. I was told that they go "mid length" the first time around - which doesn't make any sense, because mid length would be different for everyone.
-It can get costly: They say it's $60 for a full set and $30 for a fill. But, you may end up getting a full set almost every time to make them look as good as the first time.
Reasons why I'll likely go back:
-No more eye makeup needed - I haven't worn eyeshadow, eyeliner or mascara for over 2 months now - what a time saver: no application, no removal.
-I love that when I wake up, I already look alert and alive!
-I can finally bat my eyelashes properly :) -

Here's the deal my lashes looked awesome and stayed on for two weeks which I hear is a lot longer than most people. I took such good care of them! My girlfriend and I got them done for her wedding and were both very excited.
The technician that did my lashes wasn't the most professional. She was telling me about this guy she wanted to sleep with and then called him and told him to come by! So there he was sitting in the chair next to me while I was getting my lashes done! lol.
The application itself took longer than it should have because of all the other things she was doing and the glue stung like you wouldn't believe. It's worse than getting toothpaste in your eye.
If you do get them plan on either paying to have them taken off or getting refills sooner than they recommend. I thought I could save the money by taking them off myself and boy was I wrong. I ended up looking like a drunken hooker with spiders attached to parts of my eyeballs. OK ok maybe that's an exaggeration but you know what I mean.
I would also recommend to them to have someone manning the desk while the technicians attend to their clients... and have them wash their hands if they go ring in a sale and then come back to do my lashes.... hope that helps you guys. -

I love lash extensions. They make your eyes look bigger. You instantly look younger, more awake, and put together.
Noir Lash Lounge offers lash extensions at a very reasonable price given their Yaletown location. It can be difficult to make an appointment, so it's best to book at least a week in advance. Service is OK; sometimes the staff talks as though you aren't there while you're having your lashes done. The lash technician does use hand sanitizer before applying your lashes but I wish they would wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water instead.
A few things to note (some of these have been mentioned by other reviewers as well):
-The tape used to cover your lower lashes is very sticky and can be painful when removed. On one occasion, it took some of my skin off as well! I think Noir offers gel pads that aren't as sticky for an extra fee.
-When you wash your eye area 24 hours after the lash application, try to keep your eyes closed until you've rinsed completely as it stings. I'm assuming it's the residue of the lash extension glue or sealant as it's being washed off.
-Your lashes will fall out more quickly than usual. While it is true that your lashes have their own growth cycle and fall out periodically, I'm not convinced when they say that lash extensions will not make your lashes fall out. Lashes are very delicate and are not meant to have glue and extensions on them for weeks at a time. It's only reasonable to assume that the extra weight will make some of your lashes fall out before the end of their growth cycle.
-They say your lashes seem shorter after the lash extensions are removed because you were accustomed to seeing yourself with long lashes. While I'm sure that's partly true, as I mentioned in my previous point, lashes are delicate and I'm certain that some lashes are broken or fall out during the lash removal process.
-If you're not OK with the possibility of at least a few of your lashes falling out or being broken, lash extensions (from Noir Lash Lounge or elsewhere) are not for you.
I wouldn't wear them regularly as they do require some maintenance (you can't roll over onto your face when you're sleeping, you have to take extra care when washing your eye area, you have to make sure the lashes don't dry clumped together after showering, etc.) and they will make some of your lashes break or fall off prematurely. I've noticed is that most of the technicians do not have lash extensions and are just wearing mascara so maybe they agree with me as well.
In spite of some of what I've said above, I still love the look of lash extensions and I'm willing to put up with it for special occasions.
I give them 5 stars for the end results, but after taking everything else into account, Noir Lash Lounge gets a solid 3 stars.Listed in: Yaletown's Beauty Row

Got lash extensions for the first time on Sat and thoroughly enjoyed the experience as well as the way my lashed turned out!
I got the Fling, or the half set. The girl was really good about asking me whether I want them super long and dramatic, or more natural. I told her I want them to be natural, but still noticeable of course. She said she'll put one on and let me see for myself if I liked it or not.
She taped down my lower lashes first, because otherwise the glue will glue your upper and lower eye lids together (that wouldn't be good!). Ripping off the tape was the only part of this experience that kinda hurt. Before that, I was so relaxed and almost fell asleep. -

I wrote this on my blog last year (in March) and I still stand by this review.
I'm a big fan of Jessie and I always ask for her when I get my lashes done here.
________________
Today marked a very exciting day for me because I finally got to try out Noir Lash Lounge. Like a lot of trendy new salons in Yaletown nowadays (that only cater to one beauty ritual), Noir only caters to lashes and lashes only! With carrying one of the largest lash selections in this city, they offer semi-permanent eyelash extensions for all us lovely females that last up to 4-8 weeks. Basically how it's done is the lash specialist will actually glue one single lash onto your already existing lash on your eye. It takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to complete and you'll go from boring to VAA VAA VOOM.
Now, I'm all about trying new beauty treatments and it was especially appealing since it's only steps away from my office so I thought..why not? I was actually a bit skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how well I'd do with lash extensions since I am a daily eyeglasses wearer. I use to wear falsies but found them way too heavy and the tips would always hit the eyeglass lens making it super uncomfortable for me. But then I emailed Noir with some questions with this dilemma of mine and she was very informative and I didn't feel like I was being put under pressure to get them done (which some sales people can do when they want your business). I booked my appointment the next day for Tuesday (today).
I've walked by Noir many times but never really gotten a good look at the lounge itself. But wow, what a treat it was when I stepped in! The first time I walked into it I was absolutely floored with how beautiful the inside looked. It was super modern and it just gave me this royalish vibe with the Anna Sui-esque print which seems to be all the rage nowadays (but what a good rage it is!). Sleek, modern, black and just super pretty! My most favorite piece in there is probably the black chandelier that hangs in the middle of the lounge and this big white framed mirror with a fake dove on it (not pictured). There's also about 4 loungey sofas (that makes you feel like you're just lounging around in your loft) which is for you to lie down on when you get your lashes extended. Ah, I can't get over the prettiness!
In terms of the different styles you can choose from, I have read up about it online but my lash specialist was a bit shy so I didn't really get a formal introduction to what I was able to choose from. But I told her what kind of look I was trying to achieve and my fear with the lashes hitting my lenses and we worked from there. She was very flexible with what she could do for me which I loved and gave me more tips for what I could try for next time. The process for me took the full 1.5 hours but I used that time wisely and napped while the lash specialist did her thing. There were times I felt a bit of the glue seep into my eye (owww) but it'd pass quickly. After I woke up I was given a few minutes to see if I was happy with the results and then the specialist will do a couple more tweaks before a final confirmation from me. Wow, I couldn't believe it! My lashes looked beautiful and light as what I would imagine a cloud would feel like. I got shorter lashes in the inner corners to mid eye to fit against my lenses and a winged tip at the outter corners to look like a cat. Meow!
The lashes itself lasts for about 4-8 weeks and you can choose from a variation of lashes for a different set of price. A full set costs $65 +tax while you can get a refill (when the lashes start falling out) for $35. The worst part about my mornings is when I have to apply my eye makeup but with the extensions all I need is some lotion, blush and I'm ready to go! A very good investment if you ask me!
Nestled in between sweet little boutiques and trendy salons sits Noir Lash Lounge located on 1150 Hamilton Street (next to Blo Blow Dry Bar), so take some time out of your weekend and Noir Lash yourself! #915-LASH or #738-LASH for their South Granville location. -

I've gotten lashes a couple more times since my initial visit and I still love 'em. Everyone notices them and I can't help but feel like I need to bat my lashes a few more times and smile sweetly at people.
As for my previous criticisms about loud music, my second visit wasn't that noisy. My third visit was at South Granville and it was totally peaceful (almost zen-like) over there. Also had a great conversations with both girls who did my lashes. I felt like I was having a great chat with one of my friends.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Becca Y.

I've been here three times and all experiences have been wonderful.
The first time was a year ago when it first opened (Dec 2008). The owner Joyce did my lashes. She was personable and very informative. My advice is to ask a lot of questions the first time, so you know how to take care of them. I don't know about the other girls working there, but Joyce answered all of them and then some to make sure I knew what to expect and how to make them last longer.
The second time was actually at the owner's home. This was when she was first starting out and didn't have the space Lash Noir currently occupies. I wanted a refill and ended up getting a full set. I don't really have a beef with that since they looked amazing. BUT I would like to know what a refill would actually be since I had about 1/2-3/4 of the lashes left on. Again, Joyce was very nice and friendly.
The last time I went was a few days ago. Another girl did my lashes, I didn't catch her name, but she was friendly and chatted about her plans for the holidays. The girls do talk to each other and get up to answer the phone, but hey they are a small business going into their second year, give them a break! About the music, it does get loud, but I believe that it's from BLO next door because they do still share a lot of things, including the bathroom.
For $65 ($68.25 after taxes), it's well worth the gorgeous results. I lived in Chicago for over two years and it was anywhere from $300-$500 for the same services! With a little care, they last 4-8 weeks. My first ones lasted 4-5 weeks.
I've never had a bad experience with them.First times should ask for their maintenance tip sheet! My lashes look great now and I'll back back in about 6 weeks to get them redone! -

I've been to Noir twice for eyelash extensions! I went to their Yaletown location last year, and their South Granville location this year (right around when it opened). The decor is pretty awesome, but the music can be loud sometimes.
I loved getting eyelash extensions! I got them both times right before I went on a trip. (Coincidentally to California both times). You just lie there for 45-60 minutes while they glue individual lashes to your natural lashes.
Both times, it lasted me 2-3 weeks, with some lashes falling out before others. I have never gone back for a fill, but I might do that the next time I get extensions.
The glue didn't hurt my eyes at the time of application, but the first time I got eyelash extensions, when I showered and water would get in my eye, it would sting a LOT. Didn't happen the second time, not sure why.
Oh, and your natural lashes will seem so wimpy and little after the extensions fall out :( -

I love the lash extensions here. I've had sets from spas before but the options are not as varying as here and the pricing is way better! The experience is pretty relaxing. I do them every once and a while because they tend to irritate my eyes. They look so great over the summer months and through out special events. I had them for my wedding and didn't have to worry about mascara runs at all! Love this place.
