Noir Lash Lounge

Booked a last minute appointment and got in within a day. I have been here in the past and always very happy with my lashes. This time I was given a consultation on the size of lashes I would prefer and it was very informative. I love my set and will be keeping them for the summer for sure. The girls stayed late as my lashes took a little longer. They were all friendly helpful and super nice.

I had my first set of lashes done here and just got a fill.
I thought the girls were really nice and I liked the results. They are knowledgeable with what works with your existing lashes and have different lengths/​thicknesses!
Only downside is that they don’t allow more than one fill per full set, which makes it a pricey. I think they should allow 2 – 3 fills per set at least as the other lash bars allow fill after fills.

I feel like negative reviews are given more than positive and I had a really positive experience so I just felt I should share. I had lashes many times in the past and for my upcoming vacation I decided to have them put on. I had them done on a Friday and by Monday my extensions on the one eye had all fallen out and the other eye followed shortly after. When I got home I emailed them and told them what had happened, they called me back literally minutes later and were very apologetic and they rebooked me to have a full set done free of charge. I just had them done a couple days ago and I’m so happy, they are beautiful and so far they are all staying attached. I think my lashes shed and I don’t think my initial appointment had anything to do with my technician. Either way I was so pleased with how they handled my situation and I will definitely be rebooking for a fill in a couple weeks.

Noir is a cute salon, but I found their work to be poor. I got a set of synthetic lashes — this was my first experience with extensions. The top lashes were sticking to the bottom every time I blinked and they all fell out within a week. The technician’s behaviour towards both me and the receptionist were very inappropriate and unprofessional — barking orders across me at the poor receptionist, and her conversation with me about her personal life and bashing their competitors were both uncalled for. With smoker’s breath to top it off. It was not relaxing for me at all and I felt very uncomfortable.
I returned for a second visit which was with a lovely technician — she did a great job and I was much happier with the work. However I did decide to go to another lash bar that is closer to home, and I have been much happier with their work.

I personally find it very strange that they’ll only service you for your allotted time and won’t finish the job. You wouldn’t allow your hair to be 80% cut, or your nails or waxing or anything!
My first time I didn’t take my eye makeup off so I did when I was there, (their makeup remover wasn’t great) but anyways I was five maybe ten minutes into my appointment, so she said she wouldn’t be able to get them as full as they could be. She later was talking to her coworkers and said she had break next so I kind of wish she would have finished!
They only give you one fill between sets, which I like because it’s hygienic so at least they realize that, but I didn’t know that. I thought I’d be paying $ 40 after the first set but nope! (No points off for that, I’m just cheap)
Everyone was really friendly though! They said they would be moving from I think 4 or 6 staff to 11 so that’ll be crazy! Haha and good.
I also love that you can book online, but online they have a list of the types of sets, and the actual staff didn’t mention any of them. I kind of feel like they just do the same set on everyone. I said I wanted one that sounds similar to one they offer and showed a picture, but they said they couldn’t do it. Another bummer.
I was happy with the result because I had never seen long eyelashes on myself. However I didn’t feel like they substituted for makeup, because they were long, but not dark or thick. So up close they’re nice but otherwise I didn’t find it worth it. They lasted one week looking good, max two looking a little rougher. I had some that were pretty itchy but it wasn’t worrying me.
Also I got a call that I had an appointment I didn’t make? Strange!
If you love basic eyelash extensions go here, it’s clean and safe!
But overall, I probably won’t go back.

Gorgeous room, comfy couches and blankets. My tech Garren was super sweet and loved chatting with him the whole time! Painless and relaxing! My only complaint would be the entire time the manager was talking continually with her staff about what they need to improve on and blah blah blah and it was a tad distracting. Other than that it was a good experience! Thanks Garren!!!

I love this place-it’s comfortable and girly, and the staff there do everything they possibly can to meet your schedule and your needs, and answer any questions you may have! I’ve had my lashes done for my wedding (only Flings, not full sets as my lashes are already pretty long), and they sold me on a product (Li Lash) that has made my lashes even longer!
Even the rare instance where the lashes have (naturally) fallen out and there’s been a gap, they’ve tried to remedy it or teach me how to disguise the gap so it’s not so noticeable. Sheila is usually my go to, but when she wasn’t available I was placed with a new (er) staff member who did a great job (and even put pre-​curled lashes on!)
The environment is so comfortable that I’ve actually fallen asleep while having my lashes put on-​almost like a spa there. And with Flings being $ 40/​pop, it won’t break the bank!

I had a set of lashes done on the weekend and they were amazing. The place is really gorgeous and professional.

Noir is cheaper than its main competitor in Calgary, Lola lash bar. I find the staff quite unfriendly. I was once scolded for arriving 10 minutes late and rushed through a «full set» appointment within 30 minutes — when they claim a full set is allotted 75 minutes for application. I definitely received a half set of lashes and paid the full set price. I think they are more familiar with different «styles» of application here vs Lola. They are decent for a cheap lash fix when you just can’t go another day without fluttery butterflies on your face.

I have been to this place 3 times so I gave it a fair shot and my review is fair.
In April I had a La Fling to make sure that I would not have any problems with an allergic reaction for my wedding in September. The Le Fling was ok but within a few days the lashes were GONE. But I thought NOTHING of this as I was told it was only ¹⁄₃ of the amount of lashes in a full set. I just figured my natural lashes were at the end of their natural cycle.
Fast Forward to August 8 I came in for a full set. This was a Thursday afternoon appointment and by Monday afternoon there was NO lashes on my right eye. My left eye was thinner but it still had some extensions. I stopped by the lounge and was scheduled for a fix on the Friday the 16^th. I had my trial hair and make-​up done the next day and my make-​up artist already was finding lashes lifting.
By Tuesday ALL the lashes on BOTH eyes were gone. 2 – 3 weeks my ass! I called to cancel my fill and my new set in September days before my wedding. The girl who took my call didn’t seem too concerned when I expressed WHY I was cancelling both appointments. That SHOCKED me, if this is your ONLY service don’t you think it would concern you that your quality is not there???
Oh well it just validated my decision. I will now just be going with a lash strip on the day of my wedding it will be way cheaper and will last just as long!

I decided to try eyelash extensions before my vacation to avoid having to do my makeup all the time. My friend had been to Noir previously and had a good experience, so I decided to check it out and was relieved that the initial Full Set price was only $ 75, which seemed reasonable. I booked an appt and off I went!
My frustration started right off the bat with parking. Due to the flood, the lot beside Noir was closed and it took almost 15 minutes to find a spot. Sort of annoying as I had to pay for it, which irritated me, but as it was Friday evening it was somewhat expected.
I arrived at Noir to find a fresh, girly space with comfortable beds, plush seating, bright colors, and a bunch of magazines to keep me occupied while waiting. I explained that I had never done lash extensions before, but I wanted them to be full and dark without looking obviously fake. I was very nervous because I have extremely sensitive eyes, but I was relieved to find that the only uncomfortable part was having my lower lashes taped down, which was done quickly and painlessly. I was shown the various lengths to decide what would look best on my face, then closed my eyes for a 45 min nap, and woke up with gorgeous lashes! I do admit, they weren’t as full and thick as I would have liked. Initially, I was a little disappointed, but after having them on for 2 weeks now I am IN LOVE. I don’t know if I could ever go back to my natural lashes, which may hurt my wallet in the long run! The good news is, a fill is only $ 40 and should only be needed every 3 – 4 weeks (sometimes longer) if you take good care of them.
She explained the upkeep to me and gave me a small mascara wand to use to brush them out. I quickly learned that having lashes is not necessarily easier! You can’t get them wet for 24 hours after having them applied (not as easy as it sounds). Washing your face can be tricky, as you cant rub your eyes, and applying eye makeup requires a little bit of adjustment. You must brush them out after getting them wet, and be careful how you sleep to avoid smooshing your face into the pillow. I decided to purchased the Geisha Ink eyeliner, which is unfortunately pretty expensive, but is ultimately best for the lashes in the long run.
You may be wondering now, why the heck would anyone get them done? The reason is that they are gorgeous. You don’t realize how much more your eyes stand out until your lashes are done. I get ready in a matter of minutes now, and I feel like I always look done up, awake, and refreshed with them on. As I’ve been following the care instructions very closely, and haven’t been wearing much makeup, I’ve only lost 2 lashes in 2 weeks, and they still look great. My only complaint would be that it’s REALLY hard to get an appointment, so I recommend booking your next one while you’re at your current one, and if you have to cancel you may not be able to reschedule for at least a week or two.
I am officially a lash addict! Thanks Noir!

I came into Noir last year when one of the apprentices needed people to practice on. Free lashes and getting to try out something I’ve wanted to do for a long time? Win-​win!
So when I decided to get lash extensions before my trip to Mexico, I didn’t hesitate to book an appointment at Noir.
I arrived about 10 mins before my appointment, was greeted warmly and sat on the couch to wait for my lash tech to finish up with the client before me. The décor here is nice, black and white with pops of color and lounge couches for you to lay on during the lash application.
I was shown the different lengths of lashes and once I settled on one, the process of taping my lower lashes began. This part can be kinda scary, there’s tape really close to your eyeball — I kept thinking about that one clip on Jackass when they were giving themselves paper cuts on their eyeballs AHHHHH!
Obviously your eyes are closed for the entire appointment, I tried chatting up my tech but she wasn’t very talkative so I did the next best thing — took a nap.
I was done in about an hour, my lashes looked great and honestly $ 75 to not worry about doing your make up on vacation is worth it!
Upkeep is a little tricky, I’m a side sleeper so my lashes did shed a bit quicker on one side than the other (they recommend not doing anything to smush your lashes into your face or using oil based make up) and as your lashes grow out they will snag a bit on Q-​tips and cotton pads.
I just let my grow/​fall out on their own, but they do offer free removals of their lashes if you decide not to get refills or a new set.
Since eyelash extensions are such a hot commodity now, there’s a lot of places claiming to have «certified eyelash techs», but I’ve seen some girls with questionable extensions (globs of glue and lashes stuck in clumps). So be careful, do your research and go to Noir! — it’s your EYES we’re talking about here!

I went to Noir before going on vacation since I didn’t want to deal with makeup but still wanted to look good in photos. I got the most dramatic set and WHOA they are AMAZING! They are definitely dramatic but you get used to them after a few days.
The application process went by very fast — the tape isn’t uncomfortable and the girl doing it was very thorough. Just make sure not to wear a ponytail or anything in the back of your hair as the couch you lie on doesn’t have a ton of cushion and they may start to dig into your head after a bit. The couches aren’t uncomfortable though.
I would definitely recommend Noir though — the price is right, and the results are great — they’ve lasted well now for about 4 weeks. I’m going to schedule an appointment to remove my current ones (I used mascara a few times which prevents them from being able to do a fill) and replacing them with another set — I might go with something a bit less dramatic for day to day office wear.

I decided to get ‘Le Fling’ eyelashes just because I wanted some eyelash extensions to try out. I am so glad I went with Noir. It’s so clean inside and the service was super quick. Le Fling is half a set of lashes which is supposed to just give you a little extra volume. It honestly looks like I got a full set on though, but for a fraction of the price. I’m sure happy with the outcome and with how affordable it was. And they remove them for free!

If you want a full set, please book 2 weeks in advance. It’s «slammin» as one of the managers confided. Nice! I imagine their reputation precedes them.
SORRY, this is another review that got «lost» except for this little bit. Seems Unilocal doesn’t back up their websites, so they can’t restore all my «lost» reviews.

This is the first time I have ever had my lashes done and I am a fan!!!
As someone whose eyes water up at the THOUGHT of someone coming near them, I am impressed with the service (and patience) I received at Noir.
Noir is located south of Starbucks on 4^th Ave, SW. With chic decoration and a very clean bathroom (hey, people are going to be near my eyes, checking the cleanliness of the bathroom is a must), I was immediately impressed.
The ladies start with asking you what kind of lashes you want, how dramatic, if you’ve had them before, etc then place different lengths on your lashes, to see which one you like.
You lay back on one of the cute lounge beds, close your eyes and all you feel is an occasional slight touch on your lash line. The hardest part of the experience for me was having my lower lashes taped down, which sounds horrendous, but it’s not. They use medical tape and if your eyes water, like mine did, they start over and replace the tape (I like that she didn’t leave the old stuff on — no half-​ass work at Noir). The removal of the tape was gentle and I really didn’t feel it while my lashes were being done.
During the process, the girls who work on your lashes don’t speak to you — which makes sense, as they have to focus and your face needs to remain still. It was nice to lay back (for about 40 – 45 min), relax and finish with long, beautiful lashes!
I have had them for a few days now and am already addicted! It is SO nice to not have to put mascara on and I just feel «done» all the time. Note: You cannot get them wet for 24 hours after application. So, make so you shower before and don’t wear any makeup or cream on your eyes, for better application.
I highly recommend getting these and will certainly be going back to Noir for another great experience.
