Blink Atelier

Things were great at first, but then my lashes quickly began to fall out (13 days later and sparse lashes are left behind) and everytime my eyes water, they burn so bad. I tried contacting the salon. I emailed, I’ve called and left two messages. I couldn’t figure out how to cancel my appt and was worried about getting charged. If you book online through your phone, your only option of cancelling online is to go «to the full site» and there’s an option. The mobile site won’t let you.
Previous review:
I came in for a lash fill and left with fuller lashes. I love them. We did a transition to volume lashes. I started out with a very natural set to ease into getting my lashes done, but I am so happy i made the switch. I booked for a regular fill but she gave me exactly what I wanted/​needed in the time available. My one and *only* complaint, the smell of the glue was very strong so the last 10 – 15 were hard to push through because my nose felt so crazy. She did a beautiful job though and it’s within walking distance to my place.

I started coming here for eyelash extensions when the lady I had been going to, Erika, changed salons. She always did a fantastic job and I was loyal to her. After a couple fills from her she moved away and I let my extensions fall out. When I decided I wanted to start over with a fresh set I came back to Blink Atelier because it’s very close to me and I thought I’d stick with where I’d been last. The first time I got a full set I made an appointment for a mink set. I know for a fact that I said mink because the lady on the phone made a couple comments about how nice the mink look. Well, they did my lashes and afterwards I realized that they’d used synthetic by mistake. I only got charged for the synthetic, though, and they gave me my next fill free, so I figured it was an honest mistake and kept going back.
Since then I have noticed that the lashes fall out much more readily than when I’ve gone elsewhere. I’m not sure if it’s a glue issue or what, but I’ve never had this problem before. In fact, despite the fact that it was just three weeks since my last fill, today I had to go in for a new full set because they’d all fallen off. Well I made an appointment for another full mink set, which the website says is $ 300. At no point was I ever told that the price had changed. Once I was done and had the lashes, my card was charged $ 400. I thought there had been a mistake so I asked and I was told their prices went up, but the website was not up to date. And they never told me. Or had it written anywhere else. I honestly would NOT have gone there if I’d known it was going to be $ 400. How can they do that? It’s not like I can pull them off my face and say, «never mind, I don’t want these, you told it me it was $ 300 but now you’re charging me $ 400.» If you go to a restaurant and order a meal that the menu says is $ 15, can they wait until you eat it and then tell you that the price is $ 25? No.
It’s bull. They’ve lost me as customer.

Crystal warmed up my dated ombré and put a gloss on my hair and made my mane shiny, frizz free and oh so beautiful! She also hands down gives the most amazing head massages.
The salon is inviting and relaxing. The sheepskin throws on the hair washing chairs are my favorite and so cozy! They use great products and offer an array of services. You could really spend all day there. I found street parking really easily.
Go treat yo self ;)

Crystal is new to Atelier and she has been doing my color since we graduated beauty school together. She’s the only person I trust! She has been trained by not only the best in the business but has a great eye for her own techniques and has taken me pretty much ever color under the rainbow. (Pictures included)
Remember that extreme color transformations don’t always come through 100% the first time and that an excellent color doesn’t come cheap! Crystal is worth ever penny and I will continue to see her as long as I possibly can. She is patient and sweet and no doubt the only person I’d like to spend hours with while having my hair done. Another fantastic service today, thanks lady!

I am not the type of person to spend mucho $$ on eyelash extensions and I have honestly been scared to try it out. But after months of going back and forth on my decision, and with a big wedding even approaching, I decided to give it a shot with Erika at Blink Atelier. I could not be any more impressed with the results! Erika is an absolute master at applying lashes. I decided to go big or go home with Volume 3D lashes (where they apply multiple lashes on one eyelash) and the results are absolutely amazing. I wake up with amazing eyelashes, no mascara, makeup or primping needed. Everyone has commented on them and asked what I am doing differently, which attests to how natural and perfect Erika applied them. I never write Unilocal review either so this means a lot. Seriously go see Erika, you will not regret it!

I did a lash lift last night for the first time and I am in love! I was recommended to Haley by a family member and I am so thankful. I have had straight eyelashes all my life and finally got to the point where using a curler did not even work anymore. I cannot even tell you how great it was to wake up this morning and just put mascara on and be ready to go. The lift process took about an hour. Haley was so nice and accomodating and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I was so happy with the results and I have already gotten a compliment on my eyelashes this morning!

This review is late, but I figured better late than never!
I was looking for a place that did lash lifts and lash tints and Blink Atelier caught my eye. After researching different places, this seemed like the best bet for what I was looking for and it had the best reviews for this type service. I wanted a lash lift before a trip I was going to and was hoping to I could get it sooner than later since it was only a week away. I sent an e-​mail on a Thursday night and I had a response by that next morning. The eyelash specialist, Haley, was able to answer my e-​mail right away and fit me in for a lash lift and tint that coming Saturday morning.
I have issues with skin sensitivity so I asked many questions beforehand about the procedure, the type of products used, etc. etc. Haley was able to answer all questions and concerns I had over e-​mail before I went to the actual boutique.
Blink Atelier is located in a cute area, Broadway, and the street it is on was very welcoming. Also, there are a lot of different shops and food around the area which is good for before or after your appointment! I had to wait a little bit as there was a patient before me, but once she was done, I was attended to right away. Haley went through the products she uses and addressed my concerns with my skin sensitivity. Once I was at eased, we dived right in! Since I have never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what to expect, besides what I saw on online videos.
These padded adhesives are placed on your eyelids and right below your lower lashline to protect your skin from the product used to give your lashes a lift. It was awkward at first because you don’t want to open your eyes, but once you get used to it, it is actually quite comfortable as you are laying there. The whole curling/​lifting process took around 40 mins after that, she tinted my lashes a dark blue (but I really couldn’t see that big of a difference unless light was shining on my face). The whole process took about an hour and the results were great!
My lashes were nice, perky, and curled and it was crazy how I didn’t have to use an eyelash curler anymore. I noticed that if any of the lashes went askew, all you had to do was re-​wet your face/​eyes and the curl would be back to normal (like a regular hair perm when you want it curly again). It’s been 2 months since I’ve had the lift and within the past couple of weeks is when I noticed the curl starting to go away, mainly because of eyelash growth. This service is definitely more of a treat and not a necessity since it is on the pricier side, but if you have a special occasion, or a trip where you don’t want to bother with mascara or eyelash curler, I would recommend this! Overall, I am very pleased and will most likely be booking another appointment come summer time!

This is my first Unilocal review ever. I felt the need to write a review because of how wonderful of an experience I had at Blink Atelier. I just moved to Seattle and had eyelashes put on right before I left. They were painful and they looked really fake. I went into Blink Atelier to see if I could have the bald patches filled in that appeared a week after I had had the extensions. Hayley wasn’t only able to give me a more natural look, she also removed all the glue from my eyes and finally gave me some relief from the pain of my old extensions. She was absolutely wonderful!

I went here for a lash lift and tint. My lashes basically grow down and even with a curler, they don’t stay curled. The service was amazing and the results are incredible! Both of the gals that work there were super cool and very interesting to talk to. I highly recommend them!

I first came to Blink after having extensions done elsewhere (another salon in another city). These extensions were painful to the point of my eyes swelling. Haley took one look at me and said, «Oooh, girl those LOOK like they hurt. They need to come off.» About half an hour later, the painful lashes were gone and she had sent me home with biotin to help the healing process. I had originally wanted new extensions to test out for my upcoming wedding but Haley actually recommended against it since my eyes had been through such trauma and I completely agreed!
I went back about a week or so later to have new extensions put on and WHAT a different experience it was from the first ones I had had done. She consulted with me on the look I wanted, had me lay back on the heated table and handed me a blanket. About two painless hours later, I had a full set of beautiful lashes. They are so natural looking– I look like me just a little more glam!
Haley really knows her stuff and is very friendly and kind. The whole process was so easy which is quite a change considering my eyes stung, burned and watered throughout the ENTIRE procedure at the other salon. By the way, they told me that was completely normal and it’s actually totally NOT so if you’ve been elsewhere and experienced that kind of pain– probably time to switch places!
I am very much looking forward to the upkeep of my lashes and I’m so thankful to have found this little gem!

I have been going to Leigh for a long time because she is a phenomenal hair stylist. I currently live in the Midwest but see Leigh every time I’m in Seattle. I tried lash extensions in the Midwest but had a so-​so experience. I decided to try Blink since Leigh has such a high standard of excellence. Wow! Haley spent time discussing what look I was envisioning and then proceeded to put the most amazingly natural looking set of lashes on me in 2 hrs. I had to laugh because it took the same amount of time when I had them done in the Midwest but I ended up with 4X more lashes at Blink! I highly recommend Blink. You will be pampered and come out looking beautiful…

Relaxing service and they lasted for three weeks looking fabulous before I had to get fills.
Pros:
Last long time
Look natural (B’s)
Easy to care for
Cons:
First time takes 2+ hours
You have to keep them dry for 24 hours so wash your face and hair before you go

I was referred to Blink by a girlfriend after my first experience with lash extensions not going so well at Luna Lash in Seattle.
What did not go well at Luna Lash…
–toxic fumes coming from the glue that was being used. My eyes were tearing up the whole time, I had a hard time breathing after 2-​hrs of being there & even Bri was sniffling something fierce by the end of it all as well. I asked if this was the norm because it was my first time & she had said yes. :/​
Fast forward to meeting up with my girlfriend & she had just had her first set put on as well. They looked amazing & her experience was completely different. It took her the same amount of time but she said she had no reaction and/​or no fumes coming from the glue. She said she actually slept through the whole thing. Referred to it as the most relaxing thing ever!
I decided to give Blink a try since I needed a refill & didn’t necessarily want to go thru the asphyxiation process again just for lashes.
The boutique/​shop is so pretty, clean & serene. My lash expert was Haley & she was very sweet & knew her stuff! She examined what I had on, asked what my vision was & then gave her recco. I laid down, she placed a blanket on me & 2-​hrs later had an amazing set of lashes… I mean FLAT GORGEOUS!!!
Not only did I get a restful nap but I woke up looking fantastic! The experience I had with Blink is what I had expected the first time around. They have a variety of options for lashes & will customize them for you. I HIGHLY recommend Blink to anyone wanting to try them out. They are SOOO worth it!

I first came here about a year ago, after getting my lashes down at a different place and not being happy with it. And ever since then, I’ve been coming here consistently. Amber is amazing! She gets it perfect every time, and she’ll customize your lashes on what you’re looking for — natural-​looking to full on glam. Don’t waste your money on the «cheaper» places, cause you get what you pay for. My lashes here lasts a long time, because they use the best materials. I don’t think i can ever go back to my own lashes!

If you are thinking about getting eyelash extensions, GO HERE!
I have been going to see Haley for a while now and no matter what service you are getting, she does amazing work! I Have been getting synthetic extensions for and she has done them perfectly and beautifully every time. I happened upon a groupon for a different salon with a price for mink lashes significantly lower that Blink offers so I though, why not? I guess it’s true, you get what you pay for. Haley was able to fix the poor job the other woman had done and gave me beautiful, full and soft mink lashes! I love them! This place may be a bit pricey, but I can honestly say that it is worth it!
