Aries Salon

Purchased the group-​on for 1 facial with a additional microdermabrasion. Pham was very sweet and did a great job. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I’ll be coming back for more!

Let me start by saying I get here and there was a woman doing another woman’s hair. The look on the woman’s face was priceless as she’s asked for copper hair and got burgundy. The same lady sat down to do my toes of which I think to myself what could possibly go wrong… EVERYTHING!!! She cut my toes and it was burning so I immediately put them in the water. She then proceeded to tell me it’s a chemical burn. I myself graduated from cosmetology school and would take full responsibility for doing something wrong to someone. Not to mention what the hell would you be using to burn someone’s skin considering it didn’t burn anywhere else. They all are so unprofessional. Had people who didn’t even work here just hanging out. Rolling their eyes and talking in their language. I will never return here! WORST SERVICE EVER!!!

This post is only in regards to Ann’s eyelash service. I have not had anything else done at this establishment. With that said, Ann is amazing! She did a great job on my lashes at a very reasonable price. I got the #12 full thickness lashes and I couldn’t be happier!

Ann does a great job on my lash extensions. I’ve been going to her for over a year and haven’t been to anybody else since.

I am not to sure how to rate her,
1. she finished my lashes in 30mins. okay pretty quick,
2. filled my lashes up, and doesn’t charge per lash awesome
3.manicure nice
4. Pretty cheap for eyelash extensions.
When I tipped her, which was a pretty good tip, like 25%, she made this face, like she is better then my tip, like she don’t need a tip.
She used so much GLUE, my eyes where burning! I kept blinking and had to stick my head in the fan to dry them, and she kept rushing me to get out. I had to tell her MY EYELASHES are not DRY! She does not put them one by one, but like 2 – 3 at a time. Also cheap lashes are being used.
She also is on groupon, so call her first before purchasing, she will tell you not to use it just come in, and she will give you same deal or better. She will get so mad if you use groupon which is BS, then get off groupon! I heard her talking to other customer that used groupon, and was very angry and gave them bad service.

Ann is wonderful! I’ve been seeing her for more than a year. She’s way out of my way and it takes me longer to drive there than it does for her to do the amazing lash extensions and i wouldnt have it any other way. She makes it easy to schudule with my hectic work and home life and is very fexible. I would definately recommend her. My eyes are not burning afterwards and the glue isnt hard on my sinuses. She is a extremely good at what she does?

A few friends referred me to Ann over a year ago and I have been going to her since. I couldn’t be happier. I consistently go to her every two weeks for my eyelashes. I have received so many compliments on how natural they look. I appreciate how professional Ann as well as never having to worry about anything when going to her. I have an extremely busy schedule but appreciate how she is always on time and ready for me. Her quality of work is outstanding. I have referred many and will continue to do. Thanks Ann for always taking care of me! You have a forever client!

LOVE ANN! I have been going to Aries salon for almost 3 years now for eyelash extensions. Before Aries, I have gone to many, many places in San Diego and Aries Salon is by far the best for extensions– I drive about 45 minutes just to see her 1 or 2x a month:)
I have always seen Ann– she is so sweet and does such an amazing job! She puts on 55 – 60 lashes on each eye and does it so quickly (about 30 minutes)! Not only does she do a quick, fast job but her prices are AMAZING.
I get so many compliments on my lashes and they last for a really long time! My natural lashes do not get damaged — I use Latisse while having the extensions so that helps –but after reading some of the other reviews its confusing because I have gotten these for years and have NEVER had any problems of pain or lashes falling out immediately.
I love Ann and recommend her to anyone if you want a great pair of lash extensions for a great price!

BEWARE! READ BEFORE COMING TO THIS SALON!!! This has to be the most unprofessional beauty salon I’ve ever been to, I’m beyond disgusted. As soon as you walk in you will be ignored and given rude stares and unwelcomed vibes from this establishment. Every employee is ridiculously rude for no reason, doesn’t even speak English, blabbles all day in Vietnamese talking about who knows what and has TERRIBLE SERVICE period. First of all I get my eyelashes done by a lady named ANN, Btw I bought my eyelash extension groupon deal for $ 72 for a FULL SET & REFILL. The first time I come in she quickly did my first set in less than 10 mins. As she finished my set, I then proceeded to show her my groupon app so I could redeem the purchase, she then gives me attitude as soon as she sees it and begins to roll her eyes stating that I shouldn’t have bought it there and that I wasted her money since she has to pay for groupon. Not only was she rude when I showed her the groupon code, but she continued to roll her eyes and give me a pouty, rude stare when I handed her a $ 5 tip, she’s lucky she even gets $ 5 or I wouldn’t have given her anything. What makes her think that she’s going to get a good tip with that kind of attitude?! I’m not a professional judge regarding customer service, but I was beyond displeased. So 3 weeks later I realize that my eyelashes are beginning to fall out, I make an appointment for my «FREE REFILL» that was included in my groupon purchase. After she did my second set, she then tells me that I can’t get my free refill because it has to be 2 weeks or less. So she then charges me for $ 35 extra. I basically paid $ 72 for one full set which is total bullshit. I never realized how awful of a person Ann’s service was until months went by. Her attitude/​communication skills/​work ethics & more were going downhill each time I paid a visit to Aries salon. Every single time I came back for a refill, the eyelash set was lacking technique, lacking quality, and got sloppy instantly. SHE IS MONEY HUNGRY! She schedules so many ladies all at once and doesn’t even keep track of time. I waited 30 mins a few times just cause she forgot about my appointments. She finishes the lash appointments really quickly by giving fast, bad quality lash sets so she can get more money & clients in a day, which is not the right thing to do. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. How is it that other professional eyelash extension ladies spend hours taking their time with eyelash appointments, when Ann’s takes about 10 – 15 mins each client.
As months go by my natural hairs were so sparse & bald patches occurred and I literally looked like a 10 year old Asian boy.
I’m really careful about my eyelashes & hardly touch my eyes, so I don’t know how my natural eyelashes turned so ugly.
She did my eyelashes a week ago, BRAND NEW SET $ 54, the next few days more than half of my eyelashes have fallen off, i don’t know if she gave me the crappy glue or not but I definitely got so mad that I quickly texted her and sent her a picture and told her how dissatisfied I was of the previous refill she did for me and I wanted her to redo & fix it for free. I wasted my precious $ 54 just for them ALL to fall off a week later. She texted me back saying that I had to pay an extra $ 20 because it was a week old, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was so mad that I wanted the owners number.
IM NEVER GOING TO HER AGAIN!!! If anyone knows a really good EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONAL PLACE for eyelash extension Please message me!

I brought my girlfriend here to do whatever she wanted to do. From Facial to Eyelash, and nails. Practically the full works haha But yes I saw on groupon the deal but I called ahead and they matched me the price. So I went ahead and schedule with Pham! She was awsome! Very nice and thorough. My gf wouldn’t stop raving about her. Definitely will recommend this to all the guys trying to surprise their ladies.

This place is not clean! They use cheap products for their facials… Do not waste your money on the group on

I went here less than a week ago to get eyelash extensions. I walked out in 30 minutes only paying $ 45. The owner did not give me any care instructions so I didn’t think I would have any issues with the extensions. When I got home that night I couldn’t even touch my eye lashes without tears coming out of my eyes. It was painful. I did some research to see if they are supposed to hurt and I found out that if they are CORRECTLY applied, meaning they are glued to your eyelashes, not your lids, they should not hurt but of course I looked closely at my eyelash line to see she glued them to my skin! I took them off in a extremely painful process that night and went back. She laughed at me when I explained my issue and told me it was MY fault, not hers, that they didn’t work. Terrible terrible customer service. I will never come back here or recommend this place to anyone.

I came in for eyelash extensions –first timer. I had done my research on Unilocal and I admit I was a bit hesitant. I noticed she did my lashes very quick! Took about 20 min and they looked great! 2 hours
after one had fallen out, I made sure that for the rest of the week I was very careful but that wasn’t enough 3 more had fallen out and now I’m up to about ⁵⁄₆ missing. Mind you its only been 8 days… I was warned by a client in there that id have to go in every 2 weeks but I thought eyelashes were supposed to last longer than so. I will be going in for a full very soon, but I’d recommend spending the average $ 100+ on lashes that will last and getting them done else where.

I purchased a facial thru Groupon and thought it was a good deal. Boy, was I wrong. I was informed it’s 1 hr facial when I made the appointment, but it was done in 30 minutes. I came with only 2 old zits that need to be worked on, and now I have a face full of them and she didn’t even work on my old ones. She said, it’s old, come back next time and I will work on those. What??? She did extractions, but I don’t think she did a thorough job and that caused more swollen, black mark zits. My face feels throbbing on those marks and now I’m concern if I have some infection from the tools that she used during extractions. I wish I would have gotten a refund from Groupon and not go to this place for a facial. I really hope I didn’t catch any fatal disease from this experience.

I found my new lash lady! Ann does a great job. Lashes are full and thick. A number one plus is she is so quick! I was in and out in 40 minutes for a full set. With her work you would expect hours but not her. I have gone to many lash places in San Diego and Ann is far the best. Be aware the glue is strong because it will burn your eyes and sting a bit when it is not fully dry but the feeling goes away after a few minutes under the fan so I recommend letting your lashes dry completely before leaving the salon.

I got the heeby jeebies from this place the moment I walked in. I’d done my research on Unilocal and thought I was OK to get my eyelash extensions done here. Anne (the owner) performed the eyelash extensions in 20 minutes — applied a full set of over 40 lashes per eye. I was impressed with her speed, as it takes a lot of skilled lash professionals up to 2 hours to apply extensions, but multiple things happened at this appointment that raised some serious red flags.
Anne was visibly upset that I had purchased the Groupon for my lash extensions. She told me that I shouldn’t have bought the Groupon, that she’d do them for the same price as the Groupon without the deal. Then, she proceeded to try to make me feel bad for her losing money over the Groupon so she upsold me on a pedicure. The salon didn’t look very clean and sanitary (I work as an executive for an upscale nail bar and boutique, so I am very aware of what to look for in terms of sanitation). The nail technician who performed my pedicure used a nail file that had been used on other clients, and gave me the most painful/​least relaxing massage.
While I received the pedicure, Ann washed her hair in one of the sinks at the Salon and sat in a chair across the salon from me and loudly read negative Unilocal reviews in her native tongue to the other employees in the room, laughing loudly and clearly making fun of the clients who had had bad experiences at the business (I imagine that she’ll be reading this review soon to everyone, laughing at my misfortune soon). She then explained to me in English that she was reading the Unilocal reviews and told me how some clients had made some stupid mistakes in the past. I was not impressed…
I was relieved to leave Aries Salon that night, and I thought I left with beautiful lashes! They were long and super full, but the individual lashes were really thick — obviously a cheap synthetic material. I noticed that they started falling out almost immediately. I think I lost at least a total of 10 lashes on the first day — these first ones that fell out appeared to not even be glued to any of my natural lashes. I’ve had really good lash extensions before, so I know how they are supposed to be applied to prevent damage to the natural lash.
Within a week, so many of the eyelash extensions had fallen out that I was starting to look like a half-​shaved cat, so instead of coming in for my fill-​in at 2 weeks, I came in after 10 days. This time, another lady did my lashes. She took a little bit longer than Anne, maybe about 45 minutes. The lashes again looked beautiful after she was done. But, the lashes started falling out as fast as they did with the fullset.
Fastforward a week, and I can clearly see the damage that has been done to my natural lashes as a result of this full set and fill-​in. As the lashes are growing out, I can see the extensions that were glued to clumps of natural lashes, instead of carefully applied to an individual lash. Sometimes, an individual lash extension would be glued to a clump of 3 or 4 natural lashes, such that the lashes are going all different directions. The lash extensions were impossible to brush into place because they’d been applied such that they were not going the same direction as the natural lashes. The huge globs of glue were suffocating the natural lash follicles and encouraging a premature loss of clumps of natural lashes. The synthetic lashes that Aries used were so long and thick that they were weighing down and pulling out the natural lashes with them prematurely. My natural lashes were not strong enough to support the weight of the extremely long, thick extensions they were using.
I had the lash extensions professionally removed yesterday. Eyelash extensions (a full-​set and fill-​in) should have given me beautiful lashes for a full 4 weeks or more. I use a daily lash conditioner to help improve strength and length of my natural lashes. Over time, the natural lashes bearing the extensions should shed naturally, leading to a gradual decrease in the volume and length of the lashes. However, my full set and fill-​in from Aries Salon lasted only 2 ½ weeks and did significant damage to my eyelashes. My upper lashes are now much shorter than my lower lashes, and there are even bald spots along my upper eyelid. It is embarassing and not only do I feel less beautiful, but it will take months for my lashes to regrow and recover, and I am hopeful that they will fully regrow and recover. From what I am reading, the amount of damage that my eyelashes endured can sometimes cause the natural lashes to be permanently lost due to follicle damage.

Class act– the owner Anne is. She immediately contacted me to ensure she did all she could to ‘fix’ my allergic reaction to the facial and spoke to the staff regarding customer service. I am so glad because I love the salon and all thier services– mani/​pedis, waxing, eyelash extentions. They always take care of me and my girlfriends on our monthly spa days.

Let me start by saying that I have been getting microdermabrasion with a facial every other month for years. My regular esthetician is on maternity leave so I decided to try something new and get a deal while I was at it from Groupon. I bought the 3 micro with facial for $ 75. I made an appointment for the same day and I horrified to see that it was a nail salon. A woman named Lily who barely spoke English asked me for my Groupon and I told her I had given the voucher number to the person who answered the phone. She insisted on seeing it anyway. When I pulled it up it was already redeemed. I told her that I just bought it a few hours ago therefore I couldn’t have used it. She kept in shaking her head and finally asked another woman who was doing eyelash extension in another room. She admitted that it was her and she had redeemed it. Looking around the salon I was very skeptical on the microdermabrasion and facial service that I had paid for. I even asked if they had done it before and she said yes. I was steered to a room smaller than my closet and it was quite dirty. I was starting to freak out but I figured don’t judge a book by its cover. Well I was wrong. Lily had a bowl of water to wash my face and mind you never replaced the water. When it came time for the microdermabrasion she had it set so low that I could barely feel it. I told her that she needed to increase the suction and she told me it was not good for me cause my skin was thin. Um that is the first time I’ve ever heard that. She then attempted to give me a facial. I asked her if she was going to do any extractions and she said I didn’t need it cause I don’t have acne. I told her that extractions are always done to my T zone sine I get some congestion there. She kept on saying no until I finally TOLD her to do it. After that she slapped on some product on my face. I didn’t even know what she was putting on since she never disclosed any of the information or had any of the products on display in the room as most spas do. This is the worst part. She started to do a facial massage on my face and started to massage my eye area including my eyeballs. I told her to stay away from my eye area since I was sensitive to it and mostly because I didn’t know where her hands have been. She continued to massage my eyes and I kept on telling her not to. She finally did by the 8^th time. At this point my anxiety level was so high and I was couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. I went home and washed my face throughly and took some extra Vitamin C and airborne just in case. I also complained to Groupon. Thank goodness they gave me partial credit in the form of Groupon bucks.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

Ok this is an update since a staff named Pham kinda changed how I see this place. So I gave this place another chance and bought another 3 sessions. Pham makes my facial feel so relaxing and the last time I almost fell asleep. She’s not rough and she doesn’t say «oh my God» for every black head or white head she extracts out of my face and does not position the steamer too close to my face and makes me feel claustrophobic like the other lady LoL

I get my lashes done here Ann does a great job very natural looking! I recommend this place for your lashes!
I never wanted to hurt your feelings. That was NOT my intention at all!
