Blinks+Brows

Had a full face thread done, definitely had a good expiriance but mind you it does hurt a little in some areas (but that’s anywhere). My eyebrows looked the best they’ve been in a while! And I will be back in about 4 to 6 weeks!

My mother referred to me Marissa. This was my first time ever getting eyelash extensions and Marissa gave me an AMAZING experience and made me feel very comfortable and also did SUCH an AMAZING job on my lashes and my mothers. Got so many compliments

Prina is so good at what she does and is super sweet. Every time I come here I walk out feeling so pretty! My eyelash extensions are perfect every time, and I get SO many compliments on them. She’s the best

Go see Marissa! Love my lashes, already going in for my 2 week refill. Referred my daughter her lashes turned out great too.

Please do not waste your time or money here. I purchased a groupon and during my first visit they were 45 minutes late to start my appointment, leaving me in the sun sitting in the filthy «waiting area».
My brows did turn out great but the lashes fell off within a week!
I thought I would give them another shot, in hopes that this was just a one time bad experience and purchased another groupon…
I was wrong! It was incredibly difficult to book an appointment the lady on the phone could barely speak/​understand Me over the phone, it took over 2 hours of back and forth phone calls before they refused to acknowledge the groupon I had purchased. [Be careful to read the fine print! They will not accept Groupons for second time customers even if it was an honest mistake].
I ended up having to resolve through Groupons (great customer) service after waiting for them to work through the refund process. Very thankful for groupon and their help. Would not wish this experience or terrible treatment from Blinks &Brows on anyone.

I was recommended to Marissa by my friend, Kristin who I noticed had gorgeous lashes. I was super shocked to hear they weren’t her natural lashes as they looked super natural. I purchased the groupon to try them out first because I wasn’t sure how they would look on me as my natural eyelashes grow straight out and downward. Marissa accommodated my schedule perfectly and was able to get me in within a few days. Day of my appointment her client before me had run late for her appointment and I was pleased to receive a text from Marissa letting me know she was running behind. During my appointment she was awesome as she took everything into consideration when helping me chose my lash look. As I said I have awkward lashes, and I also wear glasses. Marissa and i talked through my whole appointment and I felt as if I had known her forever. When everything was said and done, I left loving my lashes and can’t wait to go in for my fill to add more. :)

booked an appointment with Marissa and was excited to get my first set extension on and Marissa didn’t disappoint they look fantastic. If you are looking to get eyelash extensions and need a place to go book Marissa at Blink and Brown downtown Livermore.

I came back and gave Blinks + Brows another try and the process was a lot smoother compared to my first visit. Lynette has been tremendously helpful with my last minute appointments so I’m really thankful she can accommodate my crazy schedule. I visit her every 3 weeks for lash refills and am happy with her work — gentle, listens to the look I’m shooting for, and my eyes aren’t stinging/​red by the end of my appointment.

I went to the salon shortly after they opened with my Groupon offer for eyebrow threading. I strayed from my regular threader cause I couldn’t pass up the deal. I called to make an appointment just to be safe.
When I walked in, the place looked cute and clean, and two women were standing at the front desk. When I told them I had an appointment, they looked at me as if I was an alien and they were confused as to why I was there. It seemed I had interrupted their chit chat. Finally, they seemed to begrudgingly except me, and took me to the chair. She was a little nicer, but I couldn’t understand a word either of them were saying to me.
My eyebrows looked terrible. Too thin, totally uneven. And of course, she tells me, «You need to wait until that grows out. That’s why it looks weird.» Ummmm… No, they look weird because YOU made them look that way and hacked them way too thin, and NOW I need to let them grow back!!! I, of course went back to my regular girl and am finally back to normal. Also, and this is not their fault, parking sucks!

Marissa is the best! I’ve had my lashes done by a few different people and I’ve never had them last so long and look so good! I’m about 4 weeks out and they still look even and natural. Very pleased with her work!

I was recommended to this place by a girl at the nail salon with the most gorgeous lashes. On a whim, I decided to look for a Groupon and purchased a «full set» for $ 69. I booked an appointment with Marissa. Apparently for $ 20 more I could have upgraded to a fuller look, which I was offered in person as well. I instantly loved the look (I wanted something more «natural») but was concerned that one eye had less. Marissa was awesome. She was able to fit me in within a day to help me feel more symmetrical, at no extra cost (I do tip well though, I think). She was professional and attentive. I have her contact number and texted her directly a day later because I had a question and she replied immediately! My hubby loves the look and so do I! I will be a repeat customer and recommend Marissa highly!

Prina is the best. Moving up from LA to the Bay, finding the right eyebrow artist was important to me. I’m so glad I found Blinks and Brows on Unilocal.They are not too expensive, take appointments, and parking is pretty easy. I usually get a spot in the lot. Prina is so sweet and always makes me feel beautiful after getting my brows threaded.

I wish there were a «No Star» option available.
So I purchased a Groupon deal here for my mom’s lashes with a 2wk fill. First time there sweet Asian chick. But hated lashes. Too long and out. No curl or natural looking. Called 4x and left messages about 10 days later for the fill only because we already paid for the Groupon. Bare in mind after the first set, lashes began falling the VERY NEXT DAY. No one returned any of my calls. Finally on the 12^th day got a hold of an Indian chick that I could barely understand and tells me the lash tech is out on Vacay for another week! My groupon deal was only valid for a fill within 2wks. Anyhow, I scheduled an appmnt and drove out more than an hour taking off from work early to take my mom in. They give her a hard time saying there is no appmnt. So I walk in and an Indian chick at the front desk says there is no appmnt scheduled for your mom. The lash tech mumbled something to her as If she didn’t want to take her in. I literally pulled up HER OWN voice on my phone confirming the appmnt 3x! Yeah. she felt stupid. Then the Indian chick says «ok now I see it in here»…All BS. They were lying because they didn’t want to fulfill the 2^nd half of the deal since she wasnt making anything off of it. They then said I see it NOW but its been more than 3wks. Umm yeah because she was out on vacay! How was that any of my concern?
Then another excuse comes… she is booked right now. Really? And that’s my concern again, how? My mom had her appmnt scheduled. They refused to take her so I just walked out losing $ 100 bucks. Not even a single courtesy call from them either.
Oh and I had my brows tinted here the first time around… OMG do NOT do it here. The older Indian lady did mine, very sweet but brow was crooked and all over the place and she didn’t even thread it nor clean it. Ended up going to my usual brow lady the next morning before work and she wiped that tint down. Horrible horrible horrible place.

I had gone to three different people in Livermore and each time I got the same result TERRIBLE! I was just about to give up on the whole eyelash extension thing. In one more desperate attempt, I made an appointment with Marissa. I knew within the first 5 minutes this was going to be different. Marissa listened attentively to what I was looking for (a natural look). She asked many questions then she got started. She was professional, sweet and knew her stuff! In the end, I walked out of there getting exactly what I had been wanting, beautiful, full, natural looking lashes. At another visit, I ask for a dramatic look and Bingo! she aced that too! Marissa is now my go to lash girl! I recommend her to all my friends and family! I highly recommend her to you too, if you want great looking, long lasting, lash extensions! She is the best!

Three stars because I’m half happy half unhappy.
My husband bought me a groupon for eyelash extensions and after some time trying I was able to schedule. The service was great. This was my first time doing that and I so loved it, my eyes looked great and I felt beautiful! The lady asked me if I wanted to schedule the maintenance appointment for two weeks time and I said I couldn’t because I had to check with my husband when he could babysit our kids. She gave me her cel phone number.
Next day I texted her. After forever I texted her again. I even called the salon twice (the lady that answers the phone doesn’t know much about it). The, she replied (I thought finally I was going to make the appointment), the message. I said when I wanted the appointment for and never got a message again.
That’s the disappointing part.

Let me start by saying I kindly give them a star for how easy it is to make an appointment & them offering to honor a groupon price without me having to purchase the groupon…
It was my first time coming here on a thursday… my gps for some odd reason stopped working as I was less then 10 minutes away… by the time I found a parking spot and walked 10 minutes to the salon because I couldn’t find it… I was turned away ! I completely understand if a client is 20 minutes late and you are unable to honor their appointment… But when you work in customer service & a client commutes (from Fremont) just to see you and all you do is apologize and cant even pretend to care & try make an effort to keep the client or reschedule is really rude !
So, due to the great customer service I will never be coming back !
PS I had booked two SEPERATE services w/​a specific person & that person told me it would take over 1 hour and a half ??? Also, this salon isn’t even in downtown it’s off to the side awkwardly next to a laundromat !
So, if you’re thinking about commuting… save yourself the trouble and spend your money elsewhere!

Via groupon deal, I went in last week and got my eye lash ext done by Lynn. I really like her work, she is very details and patient. I like how mine turned out, very natural yet long and curly. I am going back to her again next week for a refill before the holidays. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.

There are not enough amazing things I could say about Lynn’s incredible talent with lashes! She has such a gift for picking the right lengths, and style and application. Even in the center of the fashion world in NYC everyone was asking me about my lashes, unable to tell if they were extensions! That is just how gifted she is.
Not to mention she makes the whole process entertaining and fun, which could be difficult, but not for her! Thank you so much Lynn for your amazing work

Bought a Groupon for eyebrow threading and called to make same day appointment, easy and friendly process. I asked about their henna tattoo vs. tinting service. A lady answered my questions so I thought I’d give it a try. She said she was new to this location but has almost 4 years experience at the Walnut Creek salon. After the henna was applied and completed, I looked in the mirror and had the THICKEST BROWS EVER! She said «You asked for thick brows.» I did not want a thin line but these were almost half inch thick I told her. I was clearly upset with the results and she used Q-​tips to remove and thin them out as much as possible. I wish I had not even tried it in the first place. She did the best she could but I certain would not say she was «experienced».
Then I had eyebrow threading done by another lady who did a great job. Too bad I didn’t get her name but I was happy with her work. When she was done, the manager, Prina, came back into the salon, and she told her about my henna brows. I told her why I wasn’t happy with it and she basically redid it by removing as much as possible and reapplying the henna. After she was done, it was exactly how I wanted it and the size was perfect and it looked natural. Thank goodness Prina came in to save my brows because I went from nearly crying to being a satified customer. I will return but will only ask for Prina.
By the way, I was told the henna brows was $ 15 but it’s actually $ 18. I didn’t mind paying it because my brows were «saved» by Prina but that «new girl» needs some training!

I have been getting lash extensions for about two years. Upon relocating to Livermore, I was hesitant to jump into anything due to all of the horror stories regarding lash extension application. I walked into Blinks and Brows and spoke to them about their processes, glue, saw photos, etc. They were so friendly! I made an appointment with Marissa and am so glad I did! She’s very presentable, personable, kind and great at what she does! She always makes sure I leave happy with her work, which isn’t hard! She uses great quality lashes and products, gives me my full, natural look, and it is quick and painless :) Thank you, Marissa!
