Spa Carrera

I got the Groupon deal. I bought it one day before I actually got my eyelashes extended. My aestheticians name is Stella, be sure to ask for her. She was quite wonderful. The whole process took about one hour and I am completely satisfied with my experience. My eyelashes look amazing. It has been one week and I’ve only lost about one or two on either side. Their refills cost $ 38 and should be done within three weeks or at least have 50% left of your lashes. Ask for Stella, she is the best. Tipping is always appreciated. Be sure to share the love.

I purchased a Groupon for last extensions and one fill, I was slightly hesitant because of the negative review below dated 5÷20÷16, but I tried it anyway and I’m so happy I did. When I arrived my lash technician wasn’t available yet, but Alan brought me tea, strawberries & chocolate to enjoy while I waited. I understand that some people are irritated by a small wait but I wouldn’t want the girl who was getting her lashes done to be rushed just because I arrived. A few minutes later Stella came and got me and helped me select the right lashes for me. It took about an hour and a half for my full set and they turned out beautiful!!! I received tons of compliments and they lasted three weeks till I returned for my fill. The day of my fill traffic was horrible I called Alan and let him know I would be late he said it was not a problem and they would wait for me. That is HUGE most lash places cancel your appointment if you are late or charge a fee the fact that Alan was so understanding was a very nice surprise. When I arrived Stella my little lash guru was waiting for me. The fill took close to an hour and my lashes look great once again. My right eye had lost a few more lashes than my left I was scared I would be charged more because of it, which seems to be standard at other lash places. Stella didn’t even mention it and made my lashes full and amazing once again! She gave me a spooly to brush them daily and we were done, Another review mentioned a language barrier I don’t think that is true at all! Stella and I communicate perfectly and she is super sweet and talented… being nice translates into any language =), I also love Alan he was nice my first visit and very understanding on my 2^nd. I find the rudeness that was mentioned in a previous review very hard to believe. I drive all the way from Irvine on workdays to come here and its worth it! I will be a long time customer for sure

It’s been a while since I first started my treatments at spa carrera, and I have to say I’ve never been disappointed with their services! All the technicians are very professional and nice, although I do have to say my favorite has always been Coco. There’s a reason why she’s always booked fully — I was lucky someone canceled so I could take her spot. Coco always goes above and beyond and is so good at making my face better. And she is so humble and great to talk to, and Alan always brews his clients tea when you arrive and leave, which just makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The facility is very clean and new, which is great for someone who is picky. All in all, Spa Carrera continues to wow me and I only wish I could make time for more visits.

I used a deal that I had purchased on Groupon to come here. The spa itself was very clean and welcoming. The gentleman at the front was very friendly and offered me tea. My first experience was sort of painful because the glue that they use kept getting in my eye and it hurt like hell, my eye would not stop watering. Also the technician was using little scissors and it felt like she was cutting my own eyelash, a very bizarre feeling. I couldn’t relax, meanwhile the girl next to me getting her eyelashes done by CoCo was snoring!
I kept thinking «Beauty is pain, beauty is pain» and they came out looking so natural and pretty! so I thought hmm ok I could do this again. They fell out little by little through out the month but lasted a good while.
The second time around I specifically asked for Coco and I could feel the difference. I fell asleep! I only woke up to Coco pulling my eyelid back and snipping at all the smaller eyelashes. She got some glue in my eye as well and had to use the mini fan to dry my tears. I left the second time super pleased with the outcome but not sure if I will return.

Love the service. Alan is so nice, and greets you with a nice cup of tea. Coco, Stella, and Nicole are so good. I always leave happy. Love my eyelashes.

I got my eyelash extensions done for the first time, I had a good experience. I never had review, but I think I should share this time. Stella is amazing, she created to my eye shape and did not crazy with it because heavy lash makes my eyes droop, absolutely just what I wanted, it looks so nature. Stella did such a wonderful job. I would highly recommend this place!

I was recommended to this place by someone for eyelash extensions. Ive been getting extensions for about 2 years now but i commute from rowland heights to palos verdes just for extensions and its become ridiculous so i just wanted to find some place closer.
I set an appointment with COCO who was the specific person who was recommended to me. I rescheduled my appointment for one day earlier, but i said that if not it would be fine. The man who books the appointment Alan said it wouldnt be a problem and gave me a time. 30 min before my appointment i got a call asking to push it back 30 min. I guess i should have suggested to just keep my original appointment for the next day but he was so nice it didnt occur to me that it would be an issue. I had the time to wait so i waited. I show up and he tells me coco is not ready yet. That he had someone else but i told him i would wait. So i waited another 30 minutes.
After this he said that the other tech would prepare me for coco and she would get me started. I walk inside the lady isnt just preparing me she is getting everything started like i was her client. There was a huge language barrier and i was trying to explain to this lady what i wanted and how i wanted my lashes. She started tearing off all my old ones because i guess she didnt like em? She wanted to start fresh?!? So she said she was going to charge me for a NEW SET. she ripped off all the lashes off one of my eyes and called in alan to explain. I told alan that he was unclear. That she was getting me ready for coco and i waited for coco. He said that i could LEAVE. he told me OK JUST LEAVE. after this tech, Stella, ripped off my old lashes off of my eye. Omg. I asked alan what Stella said as her explanation as to her ripping off all my lashes and he said SHE SAID NOTHING. SHE SAID HAS NO TIME FOR U SO U JUST LEAVE. lol… great service. Which i said and he AGREED. Lol he agreed it was good service and if i didnt like it to just LEAVE. with one eye with lashes and the white sticky pads all over my face.
Stella ended up slamming the door shut in his face and continuing my appointment. Since he was yelling at me lol and telling me to get out while i was laying down all taped up. It was ridiculous.
Stella wasnt bad. She was nice and all, but she was doing my lashes HER way. In the end i paid for a new set for a cheap shitty looking set of synthetic lashes. Went from full mink 5 star palos verdes set to a cheapass lash strip looking set. I wish she would have told me she was going to rip off all my old ones. They were prettier than the ones i have on now…
So i wont be going here again. After such treatment. I dont know if its because i dont speak their language. The person who recommended me speaks their language spoke of them highly. She said that a tech messed up her lashes. That tech ended up getting fired and they kiss her ass every time she goes in now. But i got told to leave and get out in the middle of my appointment lmao. For just stating that i waited over an hour for coco and that i didnt mind still waiting for her. Like i wasnt even mad. I told him id keep waiting. It was a waste of my time i wish hed told me but i told him i dont mind waiting longer for coco. And i got told to leave. Lol… guess i gotta find another place now…

So far I have visited this Spa once for a full set of mink eyelashes (Groupon deal). I am impressed. They were very courteous and professional upon arrival. They were also prompt in serving me and the technician helped me pick out a style of lashes before she proceeded. I got the style that is a little longer in the middle because I wanted them to be fuller looking. I wish I had gotten them a bit longer (I think she applied the longest ones at 12mm), but I can probably get more length when I do the refill. It has been a week since I got them and they are holding up really well. Very little lash loss (it happens with all extensions and even with your own natural lashes) and they have maintained their shape and fullness. I find these lashes to be a bit more sturdy than others I have had and they don’t bother me as much when I sleep (others make me feel like my eyes are more dried out in the morning).
As for the application, I was in a room with one other client, so we got our lashes in tandem. My technician was very quick, which I was sort of worried about only because I didn’t want the lashes to be applied hastily and haphazardly. But they were placed very well. They play some soothing Asian music, and I fell asleep for a bit. The place itself is very well maintained, clean, and inviting. Overall I am very happy and will definitely be returning.

I wanted to love this place, but after the botched job on my eyelashes, there needs to be some justice.
First, I actually saw a sign for their eyelash extensions at the little mall that it’s in and thought that it was such a great deal. I saw other reviews, with the exception of one, that looked like this place would definitely work out.
I was able to get a same day appointment and upon my arrival, I was greeted with tea and fruit. Honestly, this is the only reason why I am not giving 0 stars if I could. The male receptionist knew more and told me more at the end of my appointment on how to care for my lashes.
I can’t remember my eyelash «technician» but she seemed very nice trying to help me figure out which style to choose and which length of eyelashes. Inside of this crammed room, there was also someone else having their eyelashes done. The place looked clean– bathroom was clean, room was clean, but then, she DROPPED the eyelashes on the floor! I instantly thought, «My god, ew. Please don’t put those on me.» I still honestly don’t know if those eyelashes are currently on my face or not.
When I got onto the bed for her to do her work, when I laid down, this girl had burped and it was the most disgusting thing that I have ever experienced at a spa. Imagine someone hovering over your face and burping. Yeah, that happened…
It’s as if I got a «technician» who was new or inexperienced because I could tell she was even struggling to place the padding on my under eye. For people who have never gotten lashes before, look at other salons photos and it looks like a patch. I was beginning to get worried as she struggled to position the patch, but thought, «Maybe I’m difficult? Maybe I have a funny shaped eye or something?»
No.
After about 2 hours, even while my eyes were closed, my eyes started to sting. I could hear her rummaging around the room and she didn’t even instruct me what was going on or not to open my eyes. When she finally asked me to open my eyes, my right eye instantly started tearing and I have never felt my eyes sting like that before. AND I couldn’t even open my left eye. The damn lashes and my bottom lashes were glued together. Before I could say anything, she asked me to close my eyes again and I thought she would have some special glue remover but she had CUT the lashes, including my natural bottom lashes… So now, my bottom lashes on each eye don’t even match.
Then, as if my experience couldn’t have been any more anticlimactic, I look in the mirror and although the the lashes looked thick, they were hardly as dramatic as the sample style they had me pick from. Although she did ask me if my eyes were comfortable, I have noooo idea what the other girls here are talking about how these lashes aren’t that hard… these synthetic eyelashes are extremely hard and heavy. If I close my eyes too hard, they literally feel like cacti on my eyelids.
I followed all the directions and the dos and donts– don’t sleep on your side, wear make up for 24 hours, get the lashes wet for 24 hours. Keep them clean, whatever– when I look in the mirror my eyelashes are clumped and the application of each lash is so poor. My lashes are so crooked and even after brushing them they don’t even go in the right direction. After less than a week, the way my lashes are falling out (in clumps) have me so worried. They are going downwards, literally getting tangled together and tangled with my lower eyelashes.
I am having them removed and I don’t even trust them to do that if it were free.
Moral of the story– pay the extra money to go somewhere else. Go somewhere that has a reputable technician and specializes in lashes.

I took coco’s advice to change my makeup remover from oil to water. OMG I hope I would have taken this watery makeup remover earlier otherwise I would not have so much acnes on my face. And the remover I bought from this spa is much much better than the famous brand named Bioderma! Those who have the same skin issues like me pls change your makeup remover right now !

On a spur of the moment, I decided I wanted eyelash extensions. I called ten places but everything was booked. Then, I ran into this place on Unilocal.They were able to fit me in within the hour I called. Nice and professional service. The place is very nice and clean. Love the décor. My eyelashes came out amazing! Nice and even! I’m definitely coming back.

I just got my eyelash extension for the first time ever. Stella helped me out and I am so satisfied. She’s so knowledgable. Since I didn’t know which length and style was best for my eye shape, she gave me her ideas and they came out so perfect. My eyes look larger and I look more awake :) I will be coming back for sure!

I’ve been going to Spa Carrera for the past 9 months to get my eyelashes done, and I can admit – I am hooked! I’ve been getting eyelash extensions on and off for the past 4 years, and I when I moved to LA, I needed to find my new go-​to place.
First, appointments. It is super easy to make an appointment. I’ve been able to call and get an appointment on the same day, and sometimes the next day for my preferred specialist. Alan is very polite, and I’m sure by now he remembers me. Yes, they speak Chinese here, but that doesn’t mean they don’t speak English! I’ve never had trouble communicating with any of the staff members.
Upon entering Spa Carrera, you’ll see that it is very spacious. The décor is beautiful! Also, extra perk points, Alan serves you a glass of tea before and after your appointment as you wait. Never have I waited longer than 10 minutes, and if so, they are very thankful for your patience. The bathroom here is extra spacious as well. If you forget to take off your makeup before your appointment, don’t worry! They have facial wash, toner, and moisturizer for you.
Coco & Stella! I’ve had several sessions with Coco, and when she was recently on vacation, I had my refill appointment with Stella! Both are fantastic. I showed them a picture of how I usually get my lashes done (Hanh in SJ, I miss you!) and they mimicked it perfectly. I always opt for the regular lashes at length 12 or 13, instead of the mink or soft lashes. I tried the soft lashes here once before, which felt great, but they didn’t have the drama I was looking for. If your eyes are a little more on the sensitive side, and you’re looking for a little more natural but full look, try them out. But in my honest opinion, the regular lashes aren’t even that hard! Definitely not the cheap, hard, plastic-​y feel you might get at other places. I kinda like my lashes to be a little on the full side, and the ladies are so nice in filling it up to my liking. Coco gave me a more natural look once, and asked if I wanted to add a few more lashes to make it fuller. She was very attentive to my needs, which I love! I never once felt rushed on out of there. Also, they are very very very gentle with the glue. I’ve gone to places where there was way too much glue, but these lashes are super comfortable!
Try it out if you’re looking for a new place. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Plus, you really can’t argue with the price. Definitely 5 stars for their service, cleanliness, quality, price – everything!

I had a spa here, the person who helped name Coco was great for taking her time to serve me. Great customer service and good quality work status.

Excellent experience. One of my favourite spas. The staffs are all friendly and nice. Nicole is the best to me. I love the eyelash extension she did for me, which is so natural and beautiful. Highly recommended！

One of my favorite spa.
The service is good, the environment is so clean.
Like the eyelashes. It is comfortable.
Recommend the solution from nicole，she is very good.

Came across this place as I was driving down Atlantic from Ralph’s and saw this place with the eyelash extension sign. Checked them out on Unilocal and saw one of the reviews saying that they had a promo. Spur of the moment I called the next day which was today and luckily they still have their promo for eyelash extensions for 48 dollars! Usually I don’t check out places with less reviews but I really wanted my lashes done so I just took the chance The man that answered was very helpful and was able to book me at 3pm when I called at 11. Was also able to get my boyfriend a massage with no appointment while I get my eyelashes done and they also had a promo for hot stone body massage for 35 dollars.
Doing my eyelashes took less than 90 mins and they have different options for you to choose from including mink lashes but i just the promo ones because it was my first time. I love my lashes and they definitely look natural. I will be coming back for my refills. I’m glad this place is here so I don’t have to go so far for extensions.
Thank you to the girl that did my lashes! I’m sorry I didn’t get your name but she was definitely did a great job especially for my first time.

After having dimsum with my family, my little cousin spotted the promotional advertisement for eyelash extensions for $ 48! For that price, why not try? They took me and her right away and we were more than pleased with the results! The process didn’t take longer than 90 minutes and they did a fantastic job. I’ll definitely be back for refills and I recommend this place for sure. I’ve spent over $ 100 for eyelash extensions and the work was no where close to this!

Great massage! The masseuse found muscles I did not know I have and really worked on them.
Slept like a baby that night.
The only thing… the background music, it was only one on an eternal loop which I’ll make sure to have my phone with me next time because there will be a next time.

Awesome spa and wonderful service you will definitely love your experience here love coco n Alan they will take great care of you
