Lashes Up

Lashes Up is fantastic. I’ve been a regular devotee for the last 3 – 4 months and can’t believe that I’m just now writing a review. Seriously long overdue.
Allen is a sweet, soft-​spoken, approachable fellow with a very gentle, sleight-​of-​hand approach to lash work. Lying down for 1+ hours with your eyes taped shut is far from pleasant, but he’s like a next-​level ninja with the way he goes about his trade. I particularly like how he works on both eyes simultaneously, rather than completing one and then moving onto the next. The former approach feels much more efficient. I’m into it.
He works out of a small room in the back of an unassuming Korean salon. It can be a bit confusing during the first few visits as his door is unmarked. Just knock loudly so he knows that you have arrived for your appointment.
Free parking behind the salon.
Cash only. Don’t forget to tip because how rude?
You can also coordinate all appointments via text, which I appreciate (as phones frighten me).
I can’t say enough positive things about Lashes Up!

I got my lashes done here for my wedding and they looked amazing! I’d gotten extensions elsewhere once before and they were okay but Allen did a superb job. My fake lashes were thick and dark and long and curly and basically everything my real lashes aren’t lol. They seriously made me feel so glamorous and I even stopped wearing eyeliner for a while because I felt like I didn’t need eye makeup. If you haven’t gotten extensions before, it can be kind of tedious lying there for 90 minutes with someone working on your eyes but the results are definitely worth it. My extensions lasted a month and could have gone longer but my left eye lost more lashes than my right and it was a little awkward having one full eye and one patchy eye. I came in to get the stragglers removed and it only took like 10 minutes. A full set is $ 70 cash and is totally worth how amazing you’ll feel and look. I will be back for more lash goodness for sure. Call for an appointment because I don’t think it’s easy to drop in. Don’t forget to tip!

Been on a hunt to find a good lash place till I found this one! After visiting my family in Asia, I was hooked on getting lash extensions! Esp considering how cheap it is to get it done over there. Sooo I was definitely trying to find a good place, skilled, and good price! I’ve gotten a full set done and 2 fills by Allen! He is extremely thorough and careful! You can barley feel him working on your lashes!
I did have a problems after getting my first full set done… within the 1^st week, I had a lot of fallout, which seemed odd to me, so I immediately notified Allen. He assured me he would take care of me! I think that day he said maybe it was the glue he used because some of the lashes just seemed loose? After he fixed my lashes up, I didn’t have a problem and they lasted very long! The 2 fills I got after was also fine!
Depending your preference you can really customize what you want! The first time I went with a natural look with longer ends :) Definitely give him a try!

Came here a while ago for my eyelash extension. Allen was so talented and I could not believe that I didn’t know this place anytime earlier. He has a small work room inside a hair salon so it was kind of confusing for me to find it in the beginning. I had my extension for a month so my lashes were all messy and cut. I had second refill in a crappy place so I was really worried. Allen carefully checked my lashes and told me «it was the worst one he saw so far.» I was shocked and started getting worried if he could not handle it. Since I came 5 min late and he didn’t know I have so much to do, he was not planning to do the extension for me that day. However, he decided to do it and was really nice enough to work on my messy lashes with limited time he had. The whole process was really comfortable and nice. He took my original extension off and carefully checked my lash length so he could match a right extension for me. I really appreciate how careful he was. He also asked me if I feel comfortable here and there. The result was awesome, my eyes don’t get poked by crazy lashes anymore and I got a new pair of extensions with the thickness I like. The price is really fair and it is cash only. I hope he will not become too famous otherwise it will be harder for me to make reservation. This place will definitely be my extension to go place. Thumbs up!

I have been to Allen twice now. Once for a full set of lashes and once for a fill. I have been very pleased with not only how natural and lush my lashes look, but how long they have lasted.
My own lashes as very thin and short. Now they look so full. I feel I look 10 years younger.
His prices are very reasonable and he gets back to you right away way when you leave him a message.
I would highly recommend Allen! You won’t regret it!

Allen is awesome! I love coming to him for lash extensions because he knows exactly how to achieve the perfect lashes. Not too dramatic but just right in length and thickness to make it look like I have eyeliner and mascara on. Thanks Allen for always doing a great job!

If you’ve ever read my reviews on how great Angel lash is, you’d know that I absolutely adored Allen. He did my lashes ⁹⁄₁₀ times at Angel lash, so when they moved I was devastated. Turns out, Allen didn’t move at all. He’s still at the original location he was always at! I’ve been going in regularly since reconnecting with the lash love of my life and he’s been consistently amazing. Never a lash out of place or stuck where it shouldn’t be. The lashes last about 4 weeks until they need to be filled but they look great throughout the 4 weeks. He gives you an after care card and if you follow that, the lashes last super long.
He takes care and pride in his work and I’m super appreciative, it’s my eyes of all things. He always asks if I’m comfy upon laying down and after he’s done he combs through and checks. I know this, because there’s always a minute or two of him silently inspecting and nothing is going on. And then another minute of poking and prodding and holding lashes in place. This is the kind of detail I need in my life. For reals. I’ve gotten lashes done and then gone on vacation — snorkeling, swimming, water/​wind sporting and the lashes have lasted though all of that. (Not that you should be doing that too). Best part is, he doesn’t charge some ridiculous price and there isn’t some weird influx of pricing depending on his mood like this other place that I won’t mention.
Remember to tip!

Allen is so great! It was my first time getting them done and I could tell he took his time and would ask me if everything was okay, I can become irritable after awhile laying down and he was just making sure I was okay, lol. They looked so lovely and natural and full! 80 bucks is an amazing deal for what you get! Will definitely be going back! Also, he was readily available to answer my calls about parking and he was very helpful with directing me where to go a lot of people could get annoyed by that. Happy customer!

I’ve been going to Allen for almost a year now and he’s been consistently very good. My lashes last up to a month at times. The value you get for the price you pay here is the best I’ve come across. Allen is a really nice guy too. He’s dependable and takes a lot of times to make sure his work is perfect. 5 stars– I would highly recommend him to anyone!

This is hands down the best place to get your lashes done. Allen is very careful and extremely thorough. He moves back and forth between eyes to keep them symmetrical and even. He listens to the look you want and always delivers. He writes down the look, lash size, and lash curl to remember what style you get every time. He’s really nice and super patient — I’ve been really late multiple times (LA rush hour traffic seems to be at its peak every time I have an appt here) and he’s been accommodating every time. The lashes stay on for longer than a month, which I’ve never experienced anywhere else and I’ve been getting lashes since 2011. I now live in New York but every time I’m back in LA I make sure to visit Allen. One time I had just gotten my lashes done in New York and when I got to LA I took them all off so I could get a full set at Lashes Up. Totally worth it.

He is a very good guy who did a good god on your eyelash. The only problem is that the eyelashes may not sustain long.

Allen is the best. His work is excellent, time efficient, fairly priced and does not damage your natural lashes. He works out of a comfortable room in the back of a hair salon. His company is relaxed and not forced. He also does not over load your lashes with too many extension hairs. It always looks terrible when girls look like they can’t open their eyes from the sheer weight of their eyelash extensions. He makes your lashes look full, long, but not super-​fake!

Allen is so awesome! I’ve been going to him since August, and now I can’t stop. I’ve gotten extensions before and they always looked the same for some reason. When I go to Allen, he listens and accommodates different styles so that I can figure out which style looks best for my eye shape. He’s very detailed, talented, and always follows up in a week to make sure that you’re still happy with your lashes. He’s also very reasonably priced which is always a PLUS. I’m so glad I found him on Unilocal!!!Highly recommended!
Just as a tip… Parking is available behind the salon. His station is actually in the hair salon so don’t think you got lost. :)

Went there earlier in the year to get a fill, then got a full set after that fill, lashes fell off fairly quickly.
Several weeks ago, I needed to get lashed — so I decided to give Allen a try again. Lashes fell off within a week. The lashes that were used were not good quality as well. They were plastic-​like (perhaps because of the curl?) Either way, it was a waste of $ 70 and I will not be going back.

Allen is great!
I was going to another place in Silverlake for over a year, and was so unhappy with them, because the lady was so inconsistent with her work.
My best friend (who also went to the same place as me before) referred me to Allen, and I’ve been so impressed! I’ve had a full-​set done, and went back for a fill 4 – 5 weeks later. His lashes are placed so meticulously and beautifully! They don’t curl down and the bottom of the lashes are smooth, unlike the other place I was going to! They seem to stay on longer, and I’ve gotten so many compliments!
His prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend him to anyone new or old to getting lash extensions!

Allen is meticulous in his work. He takes his time and listens to his client needs and provides great recommendations. Went to him first time and he gave me beautiful natural lashes for the fill I had asked for more dramatic lashes n he did a perfect job! Thanks Allen!

It’s very unfortunate I have to edit my 5 star business to a 1 star. Allen was great in the beginning but he stopped responding to my appointment requests and when he did respond he was always «full» and never accommodating. it’s really all about customer service in the end. I was a loyal customer and brought him so much business referring all my friends. It’s really his loss and I will never return here. Thanks Allen for your services but you’re not the only person in ktown that does lashes… JUST SAYING. Sorry but you lost a loyal customer. Since you don’t respond to my texts, im sure you’ll be seeing this review.

Allen is a true perfectionist, he is extremely meticulous and really takes his time to make sure every lash has been applied carefully and doesn’t miss anything. I asked him for advice on shape, type, curl, etc and he was extremely knowledgable and not afraid to give you his opinion on what will suit you best. I know we are all used to having females apply lashes, and having a males do this isn’t as common out here, but I can say with 100% confidence this guy is truly amazing. He has a quiet calm demeanor and makes sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process (i even fell asleep at one point). Thank you for my beautiful lashes Allen! I will be back for refills :)

While I do not get lash extensions on a monthly basis, I have had my fair share of getting them done at various salons across Ktown and Little Tokyo areas. Every time, my lashes have felt ultra heavy on my lids, and the skin around my eyes were irritated after each visit. I assumed that I had extra sensitive skin, and accepted that as a side effect to getting lashes done.
All of my preconceived notions about lash extensions were dispelled after getting my lashes done with Allen. As it has been a little over two weeks since my appointment with him, I think I can give a more accurate review from the beginning process to now.
Booking an appointment with Allen was very easy — we coordinated through text. He was very meticulous, and it shows in the end result: even two weeks after my appt, My lashes still look fresh and hold the perfect amount of curl.
I have had absolutely no signs of irritation around my eyes, which I didn’t think was a possibility until I have had my lashes extended by Allen. My favorite part of it is that I get to save 10 – 15 minutes of my time every morning by skipping the routine mascara-​ritual. I had always thought of getting lash extensions strictly for special events, but seeing as how much time I save and how natural it feels, I am beginning to think otherwise.
My search for a lash extension expert is over since I’ve found this place and Allen.

Who doesn’t want long eyelashes with a lot of volume? I bet no one does!
I’ve been a regular and he has been great and consistent with his eyelash skills. First time I got my lashes done by him was back in September or October and he was amazing. At first, I was hesitant of getting them done from a guy but I am glad I did. I think he is more precise and meticulous to every lash he puts on you than the lady. You dont have to worry about the results because he does it exactly the way you want it.
He usually takes a note of how your lashes were at the time of getting it done so that by the next appointment, he knows what to do without you having to tell him how you got it done before. I think thats very professional.
It is a lot cheaper compared to non-​korean eyelash extension salons and I believe he does it a lot bettet than them. It usually takes about an hour and 15 mins or less.
If you have been hesitating and questioning about getting your eyelash extension, there is no need to anymore. Call Allen and make an appointment now! I think the earliest time he takes is 9:00 — 9:30AM ish and the latest or the last appointment time is 7:00 PM.
Dont be too surprised! Your results will be astonishing!
