EyeCandy Sunless Spa

Meri is amazing! I recently had to leave my lash lady of almost two years after she punished me for her scheduling conflicts. As a self employed stylist, I understand the industry and how you should treat a loyal client. So with that being said it was so refreshing to find Meri. She was super welcoming and made great conversation. Also very fast and super reasonable prices! Lashes look the best they ever have. I will be recommending her to everyone!

Meri is AMAZING!
I had been going to my previous lash lady for three years and I was in desperate need for a new one after she relocated. I had been to four different salons before I had found my last lash lady, and all were terrible experiences so naturally I was extremely skeptical. I chose EyeCandy after all of the positive reviews I had seen on Unilocal and I was not disappointed! Meri was so kind and helpful! She was very honest about what lash type would look best for the style I was trying to achieve, no up-​selling, no sneaky sales tactics that i had experienced before. She was just very honest and genuinely wanted to make sure I loved my look regardless of price. Even now it has been a week past my appointment and my lashes still look FLAWLESS. I am constantly getting compliments on them and couldn’t be happier! She even went over tips and products (that are VERY affordable) to help maintain my lashes and keep them healthy! I highly recommend EyeCandy! Meri, the owner is awesome and knowing how she runs her business I would trust any of her employees to do my lashes any day!

Briana does a fantastic job. Very friendly and I’m always happy with the results. Plus the online scheduling is so convenient.

Brianna is really good at applying eyelashes. Plus she’s really friendly. Had mine for two weeks and went and got a fill today. I haven’t even been wearing much eye makeup as usual and I still look like I am which is nice. Thanks again Brianna!

Briana does my lashes every 2 weeks and I am very happy with the quality of work, friendly personality and great conversation we have while she does my lashes. I also love the ease of scheduling my appointments online. I would definitely recommend Eye Candy for lash extensions!

I absolutely LOVE my custom tan. The place is super quiet and calm with super friendly staff. Love love love

Wasn’t happy… I have had eyelash extensions for over a year and the ones I got at eye candy were awful. I’m very careful with my eyelashes and they were not put on right. They weren’t low enough on my eyelashes and 50% of them fell out 2 days after I got them… they weren’t even on both sides and I’m not thrilled I spent $ 90 and they completely fell out

I purchased a Groupon for $ 73 for a full set of lashes. When I went to my appointment, I opted to upgrade for another $ 31 for silk lashes. I left eye candy with a full set of lashes on June 2^nd @ roughly 6:00pm. My lashes looked great. For the first two days or so I noticed a few falling out. I’d had lashes previously and experienced a few fall outs in the first few days so I didn’t think anything of it. I left town 3 days later for a trip out of the country. It was on a leg of my flight that I noticed the lashes were falling out fast and furiously. Every time I looked down there were a number of lashes on my shirt. When we landed for a lay over I went to the restroom at the airport and found that they were nearly all gone… just a few remained at the corners. I promptly called and left a voicemail. It was 4:00 in the morning on June 6^th, but I wanted to let the gals at Eye Candy know right away. It had been 3.5 days since my lashes were put in place. I took photos as well. In my voicemail I explained that I’d be out of the country. I received a call 3 days later on June 9^th. I answered the phone, but when I learned it wasn’t about my kids who were home with grandparents, I asked her to call back and leave a voicemail. She had mentioned that she would give me a new set for the price of a fill. I knew this wasn’t a satisfactory solution from my viewpoint, but didn’t want to discuss it while paying for overseas phone charges, so I didn’t bring it up and figured she could leave a message and I’d call back when I returned. I returned June 16^th and called on the 17^th. I left a message asking the owner to call and that I wanted to chat about it and schedule with her rather than the tech that did the first set. On the voicemail she had originally left she indicated that the tech may have used new adhesive that she didn’t want her to use yet. This left me to think it was the owner calling because on my initial visit the gal told me it was jut her and the owner… since she referred to the girl as «she» and «her» who else could it have been? I didn’t hear back so I called again on or around the 22^nd. I got a call back and spoke to the gal who applied the lashes. She said that Meri was the owner and that I could book with her. This was the first chance we’d had to actually discuss it. I explained that I had spent over $ 100 and it didn’t seem right that I should pay the fill price of $ 55 to get the full set. That puts my in for $ 160…this is more than $ 140 that they charge for the full set. So I’m essentially paying more than they even charge for a full set for one, hopefully stable, full set. She was quick to say that because I hadn’t called within 48 hours and because they couldn’t see them to fix them, this was their compromise. She said that I may not have followed the follow up care instructions and may have «slept on my face.» #1 I was dozing on a place… seated upright, #2 Who sleeps on their face? I prefer to breathe when I sleep. Sarcasm aside, I followed the follow up care instructions verbatim. I’ve gotten lashes for the last two summers… this was my third summer and I followed the care instructions. I said that it wasn’t a fair compromise as I will be out of pocket $ 160 for one full set. She said that I had two full sets. I said that I didn’t think she could count the first set as they lasted only a few days! She was firm and wouldn’t budge. She also made it clear that she was the tech who applied the lashes AND that she had left the initial voicemail. But in that voicemail, she presented herself as the owner, or at least as not the technician to applied the lashes. She said that since I was out of the 48 hour window and since they could not see them, that was their offer. Now, to be exact, my observed the lashes falling out as I did at right about the 48 hour mark… but I was on a plane. And I left a message as soon as I could get on the ground. But fine… that’s policy… I get it. What I don’t get is that their compromise is not a compromise… it still puts me out of pocket $ 160 for a full set of lashes. I refuse to consider that first set anything other than a flop. This doesn’t even consider the fact also that I paid for upgraded silk lashes and what fell off onto my shirt on the plane did not feel like silk… they were very plastic in texture and weight. I had mentioned this in my initial voicemail, but it did not come up in our conversation and seemed pointless to go there seeing as I had no intention of paying them another $ 55 for what I should have received in my first visit. Thumbs down!

Love love love my lashes! Ashley did an amazing job. Unlike most people, I insisted I wanted the dramatic look, not natural, and she pulled it off beautifully. I loved the results. The first day I went out in public was 2 days after my lashes, without any makeup at all, and women were asking if my lashes were real, where I went, and how they loved the look. I got so many compliments when I returned to London too, I felt like my going out look was now polished. I’m also happy with how long the lashes lasted, and the look kept well even going into week two. I tried not to wear mascara, and to take off my eye makeup I used a qtip dipped in eye makeup remover, which worked wonders. Just a sidenote, the process did not hurt — a few women have asked that already, and I found the question odd, but there was no discomfort or pain at all.
Also, my one session of teeth whitening provided noticeably whiter teeth. Ashley gives you all the info on upkeep. I also use a whitening toothpaste 2x a day, and after coffee, mostly sticking to water. My yellow stains were not deep though, so for people with deep deep stains, you should be a bit realistic.
Ashley was super sweet and hard working. She was also very happy that I loved my results — she really cares about client satisfaction. Will be coming here again!

Meri was amazing at my custom spray tan! She introduced me to some AMAZING pre-​self tan products, and they did indeed make the results even better. She was fast, efficient, and surprisingly I was not super freezing during treatment!

Summary: my beautiful lash extensions only lasted 1 week and 1 day! Not worth the high cost.
Overview:
Pros: Ashley was nice and helpful. The groupon made the service more affordable. Cute studio. The lashes look amazing and they really bumped up my look.
Cons: I paid a good chunk of money, followed the lash care instructions explicitly, bought Eyecandy’s recommended, expensive eye makeup remover and all my lash extensions came out by 1 week and 1 day. They tell you they last a minimum for 2 weeks. So much for that.
I am overall incredibly disappointed with my experience. And now after having extensions for a week, my normal eyelashes are ruined. When I called to discuss how I’m supposed to book a fill (supposed to have at least 50% extensions left and usually it’s between 2 – 4 weeks) they politely told me I’m out of luck on the «shedding» and seemed to think they had no responsibility. How do I book a fill when all my lashes are gone by 2 weeks?
Overall, if you’re looking into lash extensions, my advice is Don’t Do It! Your lashes will look amazing… For a week. And it will ruin your natural lashes. And all of it will cost you lots of $$$.

Ashley has been doing my lashes since I got them done in Southern California in August. She is the only person I have found in Sacramento that has met my expectations. She is very nice and does a great job!

I’ve been a customer of EyeCandy for a few years. Eyelashes only… spray tans, regardless of how great they profess to be, turn me orange. My experiences have been really good even through all the turnover. I started at the Folsom shop and when I moved to Sacramento, I made the Midtown store my main stop. I still go to Folsom once if I can’t get in to the other. Both Ashley and Sara are great.
I didn’t give more stars because while the scheduling program is convenient, it’s impersonal and if you have an emergency, there’s no one to call. The phone # goes to some sort of answering machine that isn’t in either store and very rarely gets answered. So if you are a regular and something happens on the way or you are running late, there’s no way to give your technician a courtesy call. That’s not cool and it’s enough to lose 2 stars.

If I could give no stars i would. I was highly dissapointed. The girl doing my lashes was great, she was talkative and informative. But the owner is something else. First of all, the place is hard to find, i called and the owner just kept telling me the address. Obviously i know the address i needed to know the surrounding.
MY LASHES CAME OFF WITHIN DAYS!!! the owner said i could fix it with no charge, but then again a few days later it came off. And it was only my left eye. I understand that it could have been me but the owner was sooo rude and condescending. If she was a little more helpful and nice i wouldnt have minded. Would not want to give someone who is that rude and unhelpful my business.
ALSO BEWARE OF THE PRICES. Only lists the starting price on website.

I have been going to EyeCandy for several years. I was sad when Meri stopped working but immediately was happy with my lashes when Kimmie started. Then I was sad again when Kimmie left. Lol
But I have to say Ashley is awesome! I always feel fabulous after spending an hour with her. Please don’t leave Ashley… I can’t bear to be sad again.

FOR ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT EYELASH EXTENSIONS.
I had gone here for quite a few months after moving here from another state where I had extensions for an entire year. I cant remember her name but she had excellent customer service and my lashes always looked great after (wasn’t Meri the owner and as I’ve seen on there site she is no longer there) but then she moved to the folsom location.
Meri did my lashes once and VERY quickly, she was pleasent and they looked good at the time but i felt like she rushed the job. A few days later my left corner eyelashes were poking me so bad I looked in a magnified mirror and ATLEAST 5 or so lashes were stuck together! I ended up pulling them off carefully because they were weighing down my lashes so much. Other then that I don’t have any complaints about meri.
The two times after that I had 2 different girls. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since they were new they wouldn’t be as experienced. The first girl was okay, they didn’t look great BUT I could feel her having to separate the lashes from the adhesive pad when she was finishing up, which I know is a NO NO because that means there’s extra glue (weighing them down) and the ends would poke me (because the end is where the glue is suppose to be, if its stuck on the adhesive pad its obviously not stuck on my eyelash). Then I decided to give it s ago with the other girl in midtown. And although the second girl said she was a perfectionist my eyelashes looked sparse and not entirely filled in. I called up and left a message and drove all the way to folsom to the girl I use to love and they gave me a discount and just kept going there.
After all this frustration (because when I had my lashes for an entire year before and then about 5 months without) I realized that I was PICKING at these lashes and I NOTICED them bothering me/​poking me more then I did when I use to have extensions.
I went to another place and she looked at my lashes and showed me exactly what was wrong and told me why they should not be doing it!
First of all they would put two fake lashes on one natural lash, which will weigh it down and eventually permanently damage your natural lash.
Secondly some of my natural lashes were glued together in the process of gluing on the regular lashes, making my natural point in different directions which would also eventually lead to damaging my lashes.
Third of all, she showed me a comparison of her synthetic lashes to the ones that were on my eye, there synthetic lashes were much thicker (more heavy=more weight).
I was glad I changed when I did or else my natural lashes would have gone to shit and I wouldn’t have known any better. One last thing This place only takes 75 minutes (use to be 60 wonder why the made it longer?) to do an entire set, my lash lady took TWO ENTIRE HOURS and they looked perfect, felt light, great and like I didn’t have false ones ON! Even on fills that sometimes are only suppose to be an hour, she will take the extra care and time if she has it! Which this place could never do because they always seemed to have back to back appointments… Plus she charges less!!!

I paid someone to paint my skin. It was good. I looked nice (except for a dot on my wrist). I value this type of service over the spray tan where you get in a machine and it sprays you like a car wash. This personal service is a HUGE difference. No comparison. It was easy to get an appointment here and I would go back. It’s a bit of a dive, though. Not a spa-​like place so be ready. Pay attention when they give you directions, too.

I have to be honest, I think EyeCandy has gone downhill a bit since Mary (spelling?) stopped giving the sprays, and since they opened the new Folsom store. I go to the one in midtown and am not sure how the people in the Folsom store are, but my last two experiences have been mediocre at best.
I was hesitant to give this 4 starts– however I do feel that it’s still a relatively good spray tan. My last tan came off very quickly, and the time before that I was convinced to purchase the faster drying tan for extra price, ended up showering a bit earlier and believe this might have made it last not at long. Or maybe they just don’t last as long as they used to when I would originally go, I don’t know?

I’ve been trying out a bunch of beauty-​type places around Sacramento with Groupon, seeing as I still feel relatively new to the area, and am always looking for hidden gems/​new spots that can become «regulars» in my routine.
I highly recommend this place! I received a custom tan (no lashes, maybe next time?) and Meri did a great job. I was nervous it would be weird, stripping down in front of a total stranger and getting … painted, kind of; but Meri just acted like it was NBD (I mean, it probably wasn’t — she does it all day!), and she did an awesome job with the color, too. I’m pretty pale, and said it couldn’t be too dark without me looking Snooki-​ish. And the tan turned out pretty medium, nothing streaky/​orange or anything, and lasted almost a week, just like she said it would.
I also bought the packet of gel stuff ($ 5) that you rub on beforehand, to make sure things turn out evenly. I mean, you just dropped all that money on a tan, might as well add $ 5 to the mix and make sure it’s perf.
My only warning? There’s a distinct smell that kind of follows you around all day right after you get sprayed. And you can’t shower for a couple hours, so I guess that’s just something to take into consideration. I headed right to work afterwords, which might have been my fault, but I felt a little ridiculous, having this strange scent coming from my desk.
My last piece of advice: Go to the website before your tan so you know what to expect. And then you’ll be golden (literally).

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am in there at least 2x a month! I recieve tans and lashes. I have been a client of Meri’s for about 2 years and get constant compliments on my lashes. In my 2 years I have never had a complaint or bad lash job or tan and always get great service. I love the online schedule system. It makes it so easy to make appointments whenever its easiest for you… sometimes that may be when you think about it at 10p.m. Meri has recently had a baby so Kimmie has came in to take over. Kimmie is fabulous! She does a great job and is a perfectionist about her work. I would recommend this salon to anyone. Another great plus is you are always the only client in the salon so if you have a lash appointment you will have an hour of silence which is always a plus.
If you are a review reader like me then you will trust my review, I have been a customer of this salon far longer then most reviews on here and I found Meri through google. That says something about her salon and her service!
Great Salon and Great Work!
