Vanessa Manel

I’ve been here 3 times to get Eyelash extensions and would generally give it a 5, until my last experience. The first two times were great — lovely atmosphere, great job — Vanessa is amazing! It’s a little pricier than what I’m used to for fills, but b/​c they did a great job and it was a nice vibe and local, so I came back.
However — this last time I saw a girl named Jennifer — who was super sweet and I hate to say anything against her b/​c of it… However — the experience was pretty rough. It was the first time I’ve ever been in pain at an eyelash appointment. My eyelashes were pulled a lot And even after I left for weeks my eyelashes were pulling and my lid even puffy. She apologized in the appt saying that she needed to pull apart lashes etc etc — but again — I have NEVER in over 30 appts had that kind of pulling and pain. And certainly never continually afterwards for weeks. I literally have had to let my eyelashes fall out and have pulled them off to get my eyes back to normal, which is now going to cost me extra b/​c i pulled a lot of them out and will have to get almost a full fill.
So yah… I recommend Vanessa for extensions — she’s lovely and did a fantastic job. But not Jennifer, despite her being sweet.

Walked in for the first time today: wow! This space is so serene and beautiful, and Vanessa is very gracious and sweet. Def want to bring my mom here for some pampering soon!

Best facial with Jennifer Ann! The experience was so relaxing and pampering. She also performed extractions which for me is key in order to remove those pesky blackheads. My skin felt incredibly soft once finished — like a baby’s bottom! Two days later my skin is radiantly glowing. Looking forward to my next appointment with Jennifer!

I came to Vanessa Manel because I followed my skin care specialist here. Juniper has been doing my facials and managing my skin care program for over two years now. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
I would go anywhere that Juniper goes, and that led me here! I’m happy that it did. I love the neighborhood and facilities. The staff are always helpful and polite. It’s really a comprehensive beauty stop. Vanessa seems to have meticulously curated a select handful of knowledgeable and gifted professionals in the beauty industry. I’m excited to visit and try other services.
As for now, I can HIGHLY recommend getting a facial from Juniper. WOW!

I always get my lashes done with Lenny. She is great! Every time I come in for my regular eye lash fill I always leave loving my lashes! Go see Lenny! I’m addicted to my lashes and can’t go without them :)

I had a make-​up crisis and luckily Vanessa Manel came to the rescue! I was in a wedding this weekend and made an appointment for hair and makeup with another salon. Make up came out terrible so I was in a pinch to get it done somewhere else in a short amount of time.
Liz did my make-​up and did such a great job! She was sweet and very professional. She showed and explained to me step by step what she was putting on me. I was very happy with the service I received and will definitely be going back. They offer facials, and lash extensions as well and I’m very eager to try it all!
Thank you again Vanessa Manel, Liz, and the rest of the friendly staff!

I love Vanessa Manel. On Saturday I went in to get my makeup done by Liz. She is so good! She does exactly what you ask for. This is my second time getting my makeup done by her and she never disappoints. I would recommend her to anyone. She is also a very sweet person and makes you feel comfortable right away. So if you want your makeup to be on point for any special event Liz at Vanessa Manel is the lady for you!

AMAZING!!! I literally have 4 lashes and Vanessa made my lashes look 10 times as full.
I’m hooked!!! I truly am amazed at how voluminous she got these lashes.
Vanessa was so great about listening to what I wanted and she totally delivered.
I’m Asian with very sparse lashes with my new lashes I feel so pretty. I will no longer have lash envy cuz I have rockin lashes now.
Great makeup in there too, thank you thank you Vanessa.

I was about to spend $$$ to have my eyebrows tinted and shaped by some salon in BH. Then someone recommended Vanessa. My girl who did the magic was Lenny. She did An amazing job. I went from having almost no eyebrows to gorgeous thick brows and the best part is she dyed my blonde hair I didn’t even realize I had … So it’s natural looking and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much. And you can’t beat the price breakdown for each service. Also Met Vanessa after my appointment and she was very sweet. Overall pleased and looking forward to monthly visits! Next I’ll try her facials.

I truly love Vanessa! She’s not only sweet, but knowledgeable:) My daughter and I get our brows done with her. Additionally I love her facials! She mixes it up each time I go, and I leave feeling years younger! She always knows what my skin needs and never fails to amaze!
She also carries great products and although she never pushes any on me, they sell themselves!
Thank you Vanessa and staff:)!!

Three weeks in and I have only lost about five lashes total. I am pretty convinced that Vanessa uses magic as an adhesive. I am hooked I am spoiled. And I wake up looking good every dang day. Remarkable!!!

I’ve had my eyelashes done by Vanessa and he did a lovely job.
However, my favorite treatment by her are her facials!
I see a big difference every time I go in.
I would go monthly if I could afford it.
My skin looks clearer, brighter, and younger every time I see her.
She’s also just really kind and pleasant to be around.
Highly recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking for a great Facialist.

Love Rosette! Came in for a facial with micro current and a little bit of dermaplaning. My skin feels so silly soft. I usually break out after a facial and so happy to say I didn’t. Loved the products, and the smell of fresh oils being diffused was so relaxing. Rosette really knows what she’s doing. Can’t wait to come back again.

My go-​to place for a brow, lip and bikini wax. I’ve had Vanessa, Andrea and Rosette and they are all amazing!!! Vanessa also has an amazing selection of beauty products from Tata Harper to Clarisonic and Malin + Goetz which is perfect for when I need a last minute birthday gift. Love the mellow vibe, beautiful storefront and great service this place offers. My sweet tooth is also appreciative of the chocolates they always have stocked at the register!

I have had my lashes done by three stylists now and Vanessa is hands down the best. She has done my set several times and I can say with absolutely guarantee you will LOVE your lashes every time.
One time, I even had a minor freak out and needed my lashes done ASAP for an event and the entire staff honestly did everything they could to fit me in and I was able to get an appointment.
Also, Vanessa is an amazing person and always makes me feel special. I love going here just to see her!
Parking is super easy, any spot on Townsend! Come here if you want to feel beautiful and special!

I was in an emergency situation the other day and needed my brows done bad! I was able to get in to see Lenny and she was amazing. I prefer my eyebrows a little thicker with a natural shape and she did just that. I hate when you explain what you’d like to someone and they do the exact opposite-​this wasn’t the case. I’m very satisfied and will definitely return. I know she does lashes too so will try that next time.

**SIGH** I hate writing bad reviews when people are nice. But my eyebrows look AWFUL.
There were several things wrong from the beginning.
I called on Tuesday and spoke with Vanessa. I made an appointment for Saturday. Wednesday I get a call that there was a scheduling error so instead of 1pm I agreed to come in at 9am. This whole time I assumed that I was seeing Vanessa since no one, including Vanessa when I first spoke to her, ever said otherwise.
Well I got there today and it turns out my appointment had been booked with Lenny. Okay, I thought I’ll give her a shot. Bad idea. The whole time it felt like she was nervous and uncertain.
When she was done I looked at my eyebrows and I was NOT happy. They are shapeless and uneven. Usually when I get my eyebrows done I feel sexy and feminine. Today I just want to hide under a rock until my eyebrows grow out and I can get them fixed.
I bought a Unilocal deal so I paid $ 20 but my total was $ 40. These are not $ 40 eyebrows and the work is not worth $ 40. It’s not even worth the $ 20 I did pay.
I’m extremely disappointed, sad, and frustrated.
Maybe Vanessa does great work but I won’t be returning to find out.

Not only does Vanessa do the best lashes in town and is the only person I will ever have do them based on quality she is also one of the sweetest people in the world.
I have also been going to her for my skin care for the last 2 ½ years .
You would LITERALLY not recognize my face if u knew me before ! She has turned my bumpy discolored pimply face into beautiful smooth skin it’s unbelievable the impact she has had on my life with her knowledge of skin. I wouldn’t even leave my house with out makeup on and now I don’t even wear makeup unless I’m going to work!
Confidence is key to most things and having clear beautiful skin can give u that in ways u couldn’t even imagine! If u haven’t been GO!, if u have been u know that what I am saying is true and u probably will never leave her. In fewer words, be there OR BE THERE! There is no other option! :)

Vanessa has been my secret beauty weapon for well over a year now and I guess it’s time I can share her with the world! No question, hands down, Vanessa does the best eyelash extensions in LA! I started carrying her cards with me because so many people would come up to me obsessed with my lashes (they are so worthy of being obsessed over). If you want great lashes and you want them done right, Vanessa is the only one who can pull it off.

Vanessa is amazing! She is a genius at making you into your most beautiful self. I’ve had lash extensions for an event which I got so many compliments on and am now trying the mini facials. My skin has never looked or felt so fantastic!
I’m SO excited she is opening her own space!
