iCandy Eye Salon & Academy

I’m so pleased with my lashes and service here at iCandy. Katy is a true artist. I’m very picky, I’m a professional make-​up artist that only works in the commercial side of the business so I’m extremely particular. I highly recommend iCandy to anyone who wants to wake up looking fabulous! They are accommodating and cooperative.

Shareen Malik at iCandy salon met me and a friend to discuss eyelash extensions and 3D eyebrow pigmentation at the Danville salon. She is so helpful and will honestly tell you what you need, or what is not necessary. She’s not trying to simply sell her service, she takes pride in her work to achieve the results her clients want. At the salon, the girl at the counter had her eyebrows filled in with the 3D pigmentation. Her eyebrows look absolutely beautiful and natural! I would have never guessed she had any pigment added. Shareen is very knowledgable about eyelash extensions, and permanent makeup. I had come along with my friend for the permanent makeup consultation, and I saw they were having a special for mascara look eyelashes for $ 95. Although I had not made an appointment to have my eyelashes done that day, Shareen was able to take me. The whole salon is very clean and have very professional well trained technicians. Shareen can determine what is the perfect amount of color needed to be added to a person’s eyebrows, as well as how many eyelashes will be «too much» and uncomfortable. This was my first time getting eyelash extensions and I was very surprised at how efficiently and gently she applied the lashes to my own. I have already recommended her work to my friends and family. If you are thinking of permanent makeup for your eyebrows, I would highly recommend a consultation with Shareen.

I am beyond happy with the services I receive at the Danville location. They are professional and do a wonderful job. I had a service at another location I was unhappy with, and they turned it all around. I ended up leaving with the best looking lashes I had ever had. Highly recommend this location.

I love my lash extensions! The girls here always do an amazing job and the customer service is great. I’ve tried other salons and I’ve found that I candy really is the best in the area!

I have been to iCandy since December 2015. I started out with a Groupon but had already heard about it by a friend. The Groupon is a good way to try it out to see if you want to do this on an on-​going basis. They have memberships so you can come in more frequently to get a «touch up.»
The lady that does my lashes is Christy. She is super. She works with you to get the look you like. Super friendly and accommodating. For example, I was initially getting an irritation from the glue so she tried to minimize glue touching the actual eyelid. Bingo! Less reaction. Since I do have sensitive skin, it’s good to know that they can work around some skin sensitivities.
The only reason for the 4-​stars is that I know in the beauty/​salon industry, there is a lot of churn with employees. Usually you can follow them but with this one, if you have membership, you are tied with the establishment. So, now that I’m hooked on getting a good service from Christy, I am hoping she stays for the long term!
If I’m still getting my lashes done here in a year with Christy, I will upgrade this review to 5-​stars.

I cannot say enough good stuff about iCandy and their staff. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable, professional, and I receive so many compliments on my lashes! I always look forward to my monthly visits. Thank you Danville iCandy team!

So I originally went to the Antioch Location to inquire about the 3D Eyebrow Permanent Makeup and was told by the receptionist that they only provide those services in the Danville Location! She also said that I would need to call them and make an appointment for a consultation first! I called and was told that I was going to be put on a waiting list because the person that does the 3D Eyebrows needs to sort out her scheduling and I would probably get a call at the beginning of January??? That was almost 3 months away??? I did get a call on a Sunday the 3^rd of January which was weird and I missed it and they didn’t leave a message! When I called they said they had Tuesday at 11:00 open and if I would like to come in and I said yes! I live in Downtown Pittsburg and for those of you that know all about highway 4 traffic, you know you are going to be in traffic for a long time! I left 2 hours early because it was raining and I knew traffic would be even worse! It took me almost 2 hours to get there but managed to be 15 minutes early! I go in and tell the receptionist I’m here for an appointment and I’m early… she tells me to have a seat and 5 minutes before my appointment tells me that the person I have the appointment with said she won’t be making it in!!! I was speechless!!! She kept apologizing and said you can yell at me if you want??? Whaaatt??? I told her that I wasn’t going to yell at anyone and that it wasn’t her fault! She asked to reschedule and I told her how long it took me to get there and that I will not be coming back! This person doing 3D Eyebrows is very unprofessional as far as I’m concerned and she just lost a customer!!! Don’t waste your time, money and gasoline on somebody that clearly doesn’t care about her customers! Oh, and the receptionist also told me that she is the only one that does 3D Eyebrows for Antioch, Walnut Creek and Danville!

I got my brows threaded for the first time today by Mehreen she was quick and did an awesome job!

Love my brows, very professional job! Thank you ICandy!

I recently got into putting eye lash extensions on and I have to say I am now addicted. I love the look of them with or with out eye make up. It improved my whole look. I unfortunately got some not so good lashes done at the nail salon. Desperately looking for help I made an appointment at the icandy salon in Danville. Everyone was friendly and very knowledgeable about what they were doing and talking about. I discussed the look I wanted to achieve and they were very honest about my situation and told me what they could do now to preserve the lashes that I do have. I like that they cared about my lashes and didn’t just want to slap on fakes to get the sale. The atmosphere is very comfortable. I like that they have locations all over so if I am in a different area I could always go to another salon. I had a very positive experience with the Danville location and I would recommend to spend the extra dollar because it’s worth t.

Woke up this morning to my beautiful full lashes and brows (brow tint). Thank you Shareen who takes great pride in her craft. I love my lashes!

These ladies are great.

I’ve never been to iCandy. I booked an appointment last week for today, and I even got a call from the receptionist a few hours before to remind me of the appointment which was a very nice touch. When I entered the salon I was blown away at how serene it was — there were four or five ladies getting their lashes done and it seemed like everyone was calm and asleep. But I wasn’t there for that… I had a LivingSocial voucher for permanent makeup! Yayyy! I got my brows permanently filled today by Bianca who, alone, deserves five stars. I was initially turned off because she was running late, but she was professional enough to have the receptionist (who is also very nice) know when they could’ve just left me hanging, and she arrived at the time she said she would. Bianca is a total sweetheart, we looked over our options together for my brows and I was like, girl, you’re the expert so you tell me what will look good! and she did — but also took into account what my preference was of course. She took the time to make sure I wasn’t uncomfortable, didn’t make me feel nervous or awkward and she was pretty personable as well. She checked in with me during the procedure to make sure it looked how I wanted. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since they’ve been done but so far so good! I’ll post a photo with them fully healed later.
For those looking into permanent makeup for brows, DO IT. Check out my photo to see what I had to work with every day. Do you see why I needed this done?! Bianca gave me a faded/​filled look since I typically wear makeup and fill them daily anyway, but there is also the option to make it look like natural brow hairs (3D which does not use the tattoo gun). You’re given a topical anesthetic, and yes you do feel it just a bit, but it just feels like you’re getting your brows threaded. If you can handle that, you can get them done. I was there for a good hour and a half and now I can save half an hour to 45 minutes getting ready every day.

I just got my eyelashes done today by Chloe and they look AMAZING! I had a terrible experience with eyelash extensions in the past, but she completely changed my thoughts on it. She knew exactly what I wanted and was so sweet throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I highly recommend iCandy Eye Salon for your eyelash extensions and don’t forget to ask for Chloe!

I was worried about getting lash extensions but after seeing my friends lashes I gave them a try. The process was quick and simple and results were great. Very natural looking my husband loved the look but couldn’t guess that the lashes are fake :)
Five stars for them!

I’ve been going to this location regularly (and have reviewed it before) for about eight months now. Shareen, the owner, is the absolute best at what she does. She’s accommodating with appointment times and never rushes her work. You can tell she takes great pride in every client’s lashes that walks out of the salon’s door whether they were her client or one of her technician’s. I could not be happier with her or how comfortable and perfect the Danville salon is.
I get comments on my lashes just about every day. I rarely wear other makeup but still feel so confident walking out my door with a full set of lashes on. For reference, I do 2 or 3 week fills on a couture set. Before the holidays I asked Shareen about trying bottom lashes. It’s been almost a month and I don’t think I want to stop having them touched up! It just completes the look and gives the dramatic «Kardashian» fluttery eyelash look. It does take a lot of maintenance and care but they’re 1000% worth it.
I’m attaching a picture of my current lash look. Shareen also does the BEST eyebrow threading as pictured.
I could not recommend this place more. Fair pricing, professional and friendly staff, and beautiful salon with a great location and parking.

Came here with my friend, got lash extensions by Mai. She’s Vietnamese American so she knows my Asian eyes very well.
My lashes are long and beautiful ever since, they make my eyes look bigger and more of a twinkle in them! The best part is Mai really takes her time to make sure each lash is perfectly applied, and they stay on for 2 weeks which never happened before.
Can’t wait to try their new 3D lashes!

My 21 year old daughter talked me into trying lash extensions in January 2014. I have been hooked ever since. I go every two weeks. Shireen and her team are so professional and extremely capable my lashes look great every time. I highly recommend ICandy. It is a very enjoyable experience, lying in comfortable reclining chairs with your eyes closed listening to soothing music. I have actually fallen asleep to wake up to gorgeous.
I’m now in the process with an eyebrow tattoo. Shireen’s attention to your shape, color and design makes a big difference. So far it’s looking great.
It is so nice to wake up looking pretty every morning. You owe this to yourself, check out ICandy.

After reading other Unilocal reviews I tried to schedule an appointment online. But that didn’t work too well. First of all I had to download their booking software. I have a mac and windows on mac seem to be a bad marriage. They should look into another software as there are are so many better programs for online booking where customers don’t have to download anything and install on their computer! I still did it as it others had troubles booking via phone or email. But guess what! It only showed threading as available service! So that was a waste of time!
I then called and tried to make an appointment. Not the best but not the worst! So booking is still a challenge and wished it would made easier to do!
I got an eyelash extension with Shareen and she was great! I had eyelash extension before but was not able to maintain them and go back every 3 – 4 weeks. But now with two children I wanted those natural curly looking eyelashes back that made my morning easy and I don’t even have to put make up on if I don’t want to :)
She did a fabulous job! My lashes look very natural, curly and fuller. I also got eyebrow waxing and I’m very happy with the end result.
Will I come back? You bet! Already made my follow up appointment as I don’t want to have to go through this making an appointment mess again!
And after you are done getting pretty grab something good to eat as it is conveniently located close to good food places with lots of parking!

This place got 4.5 stars and so I bought the livingsocial deal for partial eye lashes. I expected BEAUTIFUL lashes, or at least a noticeable difference, but I’m unhappy with my lashes because they’re hardly noticeable.
I wouldn’t quite say they have good customer service either, because they didn’t do anything when I said these weren’t the lashes I wanted, just said «you can come back and get a fuller set» which is an extra $ 50+ dollars. I already got $ 40 down the drain and am not satisfied with it… why am I going to risk wasting more money? They should at least offer a discounted price for a full set, and when I asked if they would the next day, they said «no, i can only offer a discounted price for a one week fill» which is basically just fixing what I have now –_​_​– I might pay a little more for a fuller set, but not for $ 50, and I won’t pay more for just for fixing their mistake on my lashes.
My technician Danny/​Denny was a really nice lady, but recommended size 12 with J and B curl, but you still can’t really see them with my Asian eyes :(I loved the lashes that she was wearing, and I thought mine would be pretty too, but it’s no where close to it. I said I wanted lashes where you can see them in pictures, but you can hardly see them! No one has even noticed. I’m pretty sad about it, all she said was «I’m sorry I feel bad,» but that’s not going to bring back my $ 40. I’m going to Las Vegas this weekend and I’m still going to use fake lashes. That’s how unnoticeable they are.
Plus, the adhesive under my eye kept poking my eye and after she was done gluing the lashes, it kept sticking onto my skin so it hurt and my eyes kept tearing.
The problem with this business is that they have NO pictures or samples of the lashes they do/​have, so I basically had to go off of her recommendation. I’ve gotten extensions before in the Philippines where they have pictures of «natural» and «mascara» effect, and pictures of natural short, natural medium, natural long and mascara short, mascara medium, and mascara long. That’s a professional business! And that’s how you guarantee your customers will be satisfied.
I’m not trying to be mean, but this is my honest opinion. I was unsatisfied with my lashes so it wasted my time and money. I’m not going to pay more and risk still being unsatisfied with them.
