Beauty One Spa & Weightloss Centre

Update: I’m just writing from what I saw and experienced and I didn’t have any bias. I have done eyelashes in other places in the past. However, I am giving you back credit on lashes didn’t fall off within a week like others commented here. So I’m good with that and I want to be fair to you. I understand that you may not be happy with my comment so I will not say anything further.

First time doing my lashes here it lasted around 2 weeks for that pricing of $ 44 i thought it was acceptable. But the most recent experience… it lasted less than a week… unacceptable… it’s sad how one technician can ruin a business… and reading some of the reviews im not the first to experience it and it seems the problem has not been resolved… so… probably not going to return…

Absolutely disgusting. The quality of lash is horrible and The glue they use burns your eyes.
The two ladies that did my lashes and my friends only used hand sanitizer to clean their hands as they kept coming in and out of the room while doing the lashes. The strip of lashes was stuck to your forehead along with the 40 other clients that choose the same length as you, which is extremely unsanitary. The lady painfully ripped one of my lashes out as she made a mistake, without any warning. The glue they use reeks as it burns your eye, making you tear. It also leaves you with flaking eyelashes after a 1 week of having them on. The quality of the lash looks so fake and absolutely not mink lashes (they advertised mink lashes), they fall out the first day and slowly start lose their shape no matter how many time you brush them a day.
This place is unsanitary, unorganized and poorly ran by people who are just looking to make profit.
No one should EVER come here for any reason.

This is the third time getting eyelash extensions. And the first time giving such a negative review.
If it were up to me, I would DEFINITELY not come here again.
Got a Groupon for eyelash extensions and I had a good experience the first time I used a Groupon elsewhere doing eyelash extension.
Started falling off the next day. And when I would touch my face or touch my lashes lightly, it would fall right off. It was so delicate and get caught in my eyes. Not fun when you’re driving. Or walking. Or even just doing nothing.
It seems like the reviews at this location are so mixed; I thought I would give it a try with a Groupon. Totally pointless for me and such a waste of money really.
One thing I gotta give to the place is it’s service — wonderful technician and super nice. She was delicate and smiled a lot. Along with the receptionist; great service and very accommodating/​on time.
But I came for lashes and essentially came out with nothing. This has been an extremely disappointing visit for myself. Perhaps I came on the one day where there might of been something off with the glue.

I was pleasantly surprised with my lash extension experience at beauty one.
I had bought a Groupon and had felt a but nervous going after reading the reviews on Unilocal; however, after arriving the ladies were all very friendly and professional.
I have to say though, the communication is definitely easier if you speak mandarin. Since this was my first time, Lilly (my technician) was very patient on explaining everything to me and gave me advise on the length of eyelashes to get, as well as post extension care.
None if the lashes have fallen off and they look great!
PROS: friendly staff, great price, beautiful extensions
CONS: language barrier with you dont speak chinese & room holds 2 customers (i like my privacy so this is the only reason why I took a star off)
Would def go again and recommend to friends.

Lashes only stay on if the owner does them. I’ve tried several other workers and in under a week up yo half will have fallen off unless the owner herself does them. My last straw with this place was when the owner assured me she would to mine and when I showed up she stuck me with another employee. Needless to say I refused the service because it’s a waste of money. The owner is always willing to fix the lashes for free when her other employees do a flimsy job, but I don’t have time to get my lashes done twice in one week.

This was my first time getting eyelash extensions. When I first lied down, the technician put the pad for holding down your lower lashes deep between my lids, scraping against my eyeballs the entire time (over two hours). It was extremely uncomfortable and painful. I never said anything because I assumed it was a normal part of the process. After I was finished, my eyes were completely blood shot for about 3 days, which was upsetting since I got the lashes in for a special event that was happening the next day. My eyes were so red people were asking me if I was alright. Not the look I was going for. The lashes themselves lasted for less than a week. I wouldn’t recommend this experience to anyone.

Few lashes fell off the first day I got them… And have been falling off since. The lady didn’t do a good job with the glue or that she used cheapass glue. Disappointed. I feel these won’t last up to a month and a half like my other lashes I did afew months ago

I been getting my lashes done here for a while now. Every time my lashes are always completely different. I purchased a groupon like everyone else and payed $ 5.10 tax. (I never paid the first time). There is a language barrier when the they ask you if you would like to purchase additional lashes. I get my lashes done by different workers (I can’t remember their names) but my lashes take over an hour to be applied. The technician says that I move my eyes too much and complains that my eyes are watery.
My last visit I wasn’t satisfied with the service because they left glue on my eyelid and it was painful to open/​close because of the burning sensation. As soon as I arrived home a few lashes came out and the set lasted a week until they all eventually fell off.
I purchased another groupon because I got it on discount for $ 28 and I’m desperate to get my lashes done since I haven’t found a reasonable cheap place to get my lashes done. I plan to go soon and hopefully I have a better experience.

my lashes starts to fall out in one week! and not to mention that the way they put my extensions are so awful. it hurts my eye when I close then and it made my eyes red for a couple of days! I purchased it from Groupon and I really regret it!

Like many of the other ladies here, I purchased a Groupon for Beauty One, under the impression that I was, uh, you know, actually getting a deal. It was kind of disappointing to know I paid $ 45+ when the regular service for the same exact thing is actually a little less (again, like another reviewer noted, pay in cash and skip the tax).
The salon itself is small, but clean and presentable. There is a very tiny waiting area, and the actual procedure is done in a room with space for two beds. I was beginning my application around the same time another woman was finishing hers. Naturally, I stole a quick peek at hers and liked what I saw.
There was a serious language barrier when I tried to explain what I wanted to my esthetician. I ended up sort of just trusting her to do what she wanted and hoping for the best. I got this done in early April 2015, right before I was going to Mexico, so I wasn’t too fussy. I just wanted an easy, natural look that would let me look awake and cute, but without actually applying mascara, eye makeup, etc.
The procedure didn’t take too long because she seemed to know what she was doing. My eye area was properly wiped down, taped shut, and I was given information on what steps to take regarding aftercare (ie. no hot showers/​saunas, etc. for 24 hours and so on).
I had no issues with the actual application, although I was pressured quite a bit into buying more lashes. She kept trying to tell me I have «big, Indian eyes» and need more lashes… thanks for the compliment, doll, but I’m not biting. I insisted that 50 – 70 was more than enough, knowing full well that she’d probably try to go closer to 50 lashes than 70.
I don’t know exactly how many lashes were actually applied, but I ended up with a fluttery, slightly doe-​eyed look that I adored. They were a bit longer and more glam than I anticipated (they hit the lenses of my glasses a bit) but my lashes were pretty soft and didn’t have that brittle feel that shitty eye extensions tend to have. The glue didn’t irritate me, and I didn’t feel rushed out the door after the lashes were applied.
The lashes lasted me a good month before a few began to fall out here and there. Fortunately, they fell out fairly evenly, so it didn’t even look that bad. I opted not to get a refill, instead choosing to let them drop off naturally and give my own lashes a little breathing space.
In my experience, this was one of the better of the ‘lower’ end eyelash extension places. I only came here once, though, so I’m still unsure if this positivity would last over several visits. I think I would come back here again, but only if I wasn’t preparing for anything particularly important and wouldn’t freak out over losing some lashes here or there. The service was decent and it’s conveniently located. Their standard pricing is reasonable and the space is clean. Not a bad place to try out.

EYELASH EXTENSIONS ARE THE NEW BLACK. But seriously, everybody and their mothers are getting them nowadays, so of course I had to try it myself. A friend got hers done here and it looked fantastic on her, plus it is one of the cheapest options I’ve found out there — ONLY $ 44 for the basic set! TIP: If you pay in cash you won’t have to pay tax.
This was my first time getting lash extensions so I had no idea how it was going to go. It was a pretty relaxing experience, if you’re not too squeamish about people putting things really close to your eyes. But as a girl who has poked and prodded at and around my eyeballs for years of wearing makeup, it was no big deal. You just need to stay still and relax as they tape down your bottom eyelashes and glue each individual hair onto your eyelashes. Mine took about an hour for around 50 – 70 lashes per eye. To be honest the taping your eyes part is a little uncomfortable and the glue burns just a tad. The ladies here speak Mandarin so there was a bit of a language barrier and they will try to sell you on adding more and more lashes.
Verdict: I really like the result! I asked for a more «natural» effect so it’s subtle, but it definitely gives your eyes a more fluttery and flirty look. It’s a bit of maintenance (e.g. can’t get them wet for the 24 hours and you need to be careful washing your face). And alas, I don’t need to fuss around with mascara in the morning, which is my least favourite part of makeup application.
So go ahead girl, go bat your eyelashes at every man, dog, and tree you pass.

I had a similar experience as Kathy L noted. As with many others, I purchased a groupon to this place. It’s $ 39 + $ 5.10 taxes. On their website and on Groupon, it says their regular price is $ 160. That’s not the case. Their regular price is$ 44! Same price you’re getting Groupon! It was my first eyelash extension experience so I had no idea what I had to do. The technician (Tracy) gave me minimal instructions, all she kept doing was push me to pay more to add more lashes because she kept saying the 50 – 70 was not going to be enough. Later, she speaks to her coworker (in their native language thinking I didn’t understand them) that she gave me 50 lashes. So if you’re coming here, expect them to give you the minimal of the range.
Just like Kathy L., Tracy glued my bottom lashes with my top lashes! And she cut my bottom lashes to separate them! And I now have a tiny section on the bottom eyelash missing…
It has been 5 hours since I got them done, and I’ve already lost 2 lash. Needless to say, their glue is of poor quality.
I would not come back to this place nor would I recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely not.

Similar experience to Kathy. Run down on me, I have big eyes and long lashes to begin with, I get eyelashes done fairly regularly. just because I love the look of long large fluttering eyes. I’ve been to many places, have my favorites. but they are pricy and I’m always looking for alternate places that have more bang for your buck.
My friend got her eyelashes done here and I liked how they looked so I gave the place a call. They offered the Groupon deal without buying the coupon over the phone. Bonus.
I had Tracey. First. She glues one of my eyes shut. Tearing my eyelashes apart was not fun. She giggled about it, and told me to try not to let my eyes water as she pulled my eye lashes apart. During this time she is also trying to sell me on signing up on some wack cash back internet buying site. Please. Tracey… just let me open my eyes again. Now both my eyes are wet, just leakage from someone tearing apart my eyelids. I’m sure this is one of the reasons why the lashes started falling out in clumps when I got home and for the next 10 days. The glue, or so I’ve been told from other places should not be heated or moistened for at least 24 hours after application. 10 days later I had about 10 eyelashes one that eye and the other eye looked like road kill. Eye lashes turning in odd directions etc. Oh did I mention I paid 80 plus for their maximum amount of lashes. Plus she charges me 10 for plucking my eye brows that I’d done a week before saying she couldn’t let me leave with eyebrows that didn’t match perfect lashes. I think I only felt about 5 hairs being pulled. My bad. I was suckered into it. She told me I couldn’t open my eyes for 10 minutes so I couldn’t even look at the state of my brows before I just said fine clean them up, I’m not down with haggling. I really should’ve said 5 cents for every 5 hairs pulled. Live and learn.
Back to the lashes. i know how to take care of mink lashes. .usually only needing fills after 2 to 3 weeks. I knew that the amount that had fallen out was a good indication of the WASTE of money this round of lashes were. I thought I must’ve gotten a newbie and i’d give the place a second shot, since my friends still looked fairly decent.
I booked then with Wendy. Well Wendy complained about the state of my eyelashes saying this was not a refill but a complete redo. I said how do you think I feel… why do you think I asked for a different tech. I told Wendy of my experience on the phone when I booked and in person (who I also think is the owner but I’m unsure) and she just hummed. Well she took her time giving the lashes new life. And I mean, her cell phone rang 3 times and I listened to a foreign conversation, 3 times. While my eyes are taped shut. She also left the room a couple of times to talk to coworkers (? Or customers). I was there for two hours.
I looked at the clock when she said I could open my eyes and was astounded by the time that was taken. It shouldn’t even take that long for a complete new set. I thought I need to tip this chick for really taking her time to fix the mess the other one made. I looked in the tiny mirror and was happy.
I went to their washroom. Looked more closely. The eyelashes that were wonky before still had a strange lean to them. Hmm mm not completely fixed. So I went to the front and waited for Wendy to check me out. She asked if I was happy and I said yes but here and pointed. She said oh… let me try and fix and came back out in the hallway with tweezers to finagle them into something cohesive looking. it was because the old ones were so bad she said as she yanked and tugged the wonky lashes into «place». you say?. But you were tugging on my lashes for two hours to make me leave with the same problem? Wtf.
Well now I leave my review on the out come of Tracey,‘s work. I wanted to wait and see how the redo held up. They lasted a tad longer and Wendy did do a slightly better job putting the lashes on then Tracey did … BUT SHE CUT MY REAL F’N EYELASHES. WTF am I supposed to do with the peach fuzz that is left where my natural long lashes WERE.
Karma. This is karma telling me that I should NOT have messed with something that was not a problem. I actually liked my lashes. They are GONE. How long does it take for your lashes to grow back? I have no clue, I am mortified. Karma… OR I went to a «salon» packed full of «tech’s» that bought lashes of eBay and are trying to hit the popular wave of eyelash extensions because no one wants their uv gel nails anymore.
F. Keep your money and whatever eyelashes you happen to have and go someplace legit. I should’ve read Unilocal before going. F ME.

I’ve been coming to beauty one for almost a year inconsistently and before they moved from their Victoria park location. What brings me back is their cheap price for mink lash extensions. I’ve been going there on and off because of the quality I get in terms of their lash application techniques and their technicians. If you’re on a budget, then I would recommend this place. HOWEVER, beware. I’ve had two negative experiences to date. I’m not the one to make a fuss but I want everyone to beware. I have Asian lashes so lash extensions only last me 1 – 2 weeks before I need a fill anyway. That for me is not the problem. The problem I have with this place — is once the tape they used for my bottom lashes was stuck on my under eye area and when Wendy was trying to rip it off, it made me tear. This loosened the glue I’m sure and not to mention it was extremely painful. I am tolerant of pain I’m sure you know the eye area is super sensitive. I also had another experience where they used a gel adhesive for my bottom lashes, but the technician (Tracy) didn’t place it properly as it isn’t as sticky as tape, and when she was done with the lash application and had me open my eyes, my bottom lashes were attached and glued with my top lashes. And guess what? She cut my bottom lashes. Yup. she cut them. So now on my right eye on the bottom outer corner I have literally no lashes. Will I go back to this place? ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. And it’s because I don’t think it’s worth paying $ 100+ for lash extensions that will require maintenance within a week or two. So I’m ok with paying for $ 44. Honestly it sucks that some of their technicians are so careless and pretend like it’s ok. I know Tracy knew she cut my lashes. I’m not the one to make a fuss. But I know many ladies see this place on groupon and wonder if it’s safe/​worth it. So here is my honest review. Good luck.

Came here last night with my Groupon deal to get mink eyelash extensions. The service was great and they were patient and attentive when applying them. You get to choose the length and it goes up to 16 mm if I remember right.
You have to pay the $ 5 tax on the coupon after your appointment, they don’t ask you to give a tip but I did because they were great and I felt I should tip them because the value of the service was originally $ 160 but I got it for $ 35.
Tips: Don’t open your eyes right away after its done or your eyes may sting, they’ll tell you to leave it close for 10 – 15 mins to allow the clue to dry. It is applied one lash at a time for those wondering and on your eyelash and not your skin.
