Faces By Vincent Ford

These were the best lashes I’ve ever had. I need another apt ASAP. I’ve had lashes done all over Canada and LA. This place was by far the best!

Vincent was really accommodating with my schedule. I was able to get an appointment the day after contacting him. I was unfortunately late due to traffic but he was really awesome about it. I was torn between getting false lashes and just a perm so I did a lot of research about both but I decided to just do the perm and I’m so glad that I did. He took his time on my lashes and told me step-​by-​step what he was doing. He also was extremely friendly and a great person to have a conversation with. I will definitely go back to Vincent and I’m so glad that I found a great lash person! Can’t wait to see what my lashes look like with makeup on because they already look amazing.

Vincent was amazing! He was easy to reach via text and kindly answered all of my questions before my appointment. He had me arrive early as it was my first time getting false lashes and it def won’t be my last! I did the Siberian mink and they look absolutely gorgeous and very authentic! The application was painless and the great chit chat with Vincent made it go by even faster. I can’t wait to try him out for makeup.

Vincent did makeup for myself and my mom on my wedding day. He was so incredibly sweet and talented. He is professional and kind.
I would definitely book him again! Thanks Vincent!

I LOVE my lashes! I keep getting compliments left and right! Vincent was very helpful in helping me decide what type and style of lashes would be perfect for my eyes. I had lashes done at another place before, and I totally hated them — they didn’t look good and were uncomfortable. My lashes from Vincent not only look amazing, but I don’t even know they’re there until someone comes up to me and tells me how beautiful they are! I will definitely go to Vincent for my lashes from now on. I’m hooked! Oh, and did I mention how nice Vincent is? I could’ve stayed there for hours talking to him. I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. He was also flexible when I needed to change my appointment. 5 stars all the way. :-)

I adore Vincent. He did an amazing job making my lashes look great for my wedding. This is something that I don’t typically invest in, but I am rather hooked now. The lashes looked very natural and made my eyes stand out just enough! In addition, Vincent is very personable and fun to be around! He was super accommodating to my schedule and allowed me to change times when needed. Thanks for the great service. xo

UPDATE:
After I posted this review I got an email from Vincent asking why I was trashing him. When I explained that I was trying to write an honest review about my experience, he said that it was «pretty petty» and that it was «sad» that I feel the need to go online and trash people for a service that I didn’t get. He also said that most appointment are booked through phone and not email, and that I should have texted or emailed to reschedule.
1. I did call him/​try to contact him — During the course of the whole thing I left two voicemails and emailed him after the reschedule email asking when he was next available. I never got a response back.
2. Had he emailed me and tried to work something out instead, I would have happily changed my review/​deleted it. Instead, I get emails saying it’s «weird» and «desperate» for me to leave a bad review.
Previous review:
I was trying to find a place for lash perms and maybe a brow shaping and was convinced by the good reviews.
Getting a hold of Vincent to book an appointment was kinda hard — it took about 3 days of back and forth. I also sent an email trying to verify the address (one review said something about a change?) and never got an answer.
The day before my appointment I get an email around 8 PM from him that just said «Hey I got booked on a commercial tomm and need to reschedule» with no follow-​up or apology. Got the feeling he didn’t want to work on me anyway.

Completely love Vincent, he was easy to schedule an appt with, his location was easy to find, and I love his cozy (not small, just well decorated) office.

Vincent has been doing my lash extensions for about 5 months. He is sweet, talented, and wonderful in every way. I would never, ever trust my eyes to anyone else!

I wouldnt know if he was good because I made an appointment and then he didn’t show. The office was locked. Thank to Unilocal I looked up the next closest place and went to Beauty Lab 3849 Overland Ave in that Ralphs shopping center and Caroline did a great job tinting my lashes for only $ 18!!!

First time getting eyelash extensions and the experience was great! Vincent is so friendly and easy to talk to, very professional. And the quality of his work is awesome. Couldn’t be happier!

I am always skeptical when I see only 5 star reviews. I wonder if maybe the store owner deletes the real reviews… well…definitely NOT IN THIS CASE!
I started with a full set of mixed lashes and have since gotten 2 fills. I love them and so does my boyfriend (which is a miracle in itself as he normally doesn’t notice anything!!)
Vincent does an amazing job… he is very meticulous but works fast. I went somewhere else to get a fill due to a scheduling conflict (mine not his) and although they did a good job, the lashes didn’t last… started falling out soon after I left. Plus they didn’t look as natural. Not sure what he does differently but my lashes do last longer. Super nice guy and a great conversationalist… which is needed when you have to sit still for a hour + with your eyes closed :) I have a groupon to another salon and am going to give it to my friend because I can’t imagine going any where else for lashes! Can’t go wrong with lashes from Faces By Vincent Ford!

Vincent is great! Need I say more?
I’ve had a lash perm and eyelash extensions done by him. And he’s great at both! He really listens to what you want and he’ll also tell you realistically what you can expect based on your eyeshape, the number of lashes you actually have, and how naturally your lashes are. He’ll give suggestions as well on what he thinks would look the best on you.
I would like to mention I was skeptical about the lash perm at first since I have the typical asian eyelashes (stick straight, not super long, and not super full) so that’s why I usually do extensions. But Vincent assured me that my lashes were longer than I thought and I would be pleased with the results. And he was right! My natural lashes looked long and he gave me a nice curl! It lasted for almost 6 months for me! I didn’t have to use that dreaded eyelash curler at all!
I highly recommend Vincent! And he’s great and easy to talk to! He’s pretty fast already but talking with me makes it goes by faster.
When I went to him he was working out of his place (which was great by the way), but now I think he has his own little studio now. I’m sure his studio is just as comforting.

Vincent is a consummate professional. He took the the time show me many different styles and types of lashes and the looks each would give. Then he assessed my eye shape along with the look I hoped to acheive and he designed a set of lashes that would look natural but add a little oompf to my face.
SO happy with the results!
I’m glad I did the research, read the reviews and went with Vincent!

Now that I have had lash extensions done by someone else, I can honestly say that Vincent Ford was awesome. I bought his prior Groupon deal for a full set of Mink lashes and a few things stand out: he knows alot about his craft, the lashes looked beautiful and natural and he was SUPER fast (but thats a good thing.) We were chatting the entire time and he even introduced me to his adorable dog so the time flew by. I was a little sensitive to the glue, but nothing major.
I recently bought another deal from someone else and the experience was night and day — the tech took forever (3 hours), the lashes looked and felt super plastic and thick and I would say I looked more like Nicki Minaj than myself. I could also «feel» these lashes — in the shower, when I slept, etc they felt like pine needles. To compare, when I had lashes done by Vincent, they felt like… well, my own soft lashes! Lesson learned.
I’m excited to go back to Vincent the next time I am in need of some bangin lashes.

Had a wonderful experience having lash extensions by Vincent. I’ve always done full on strips of false lashes for good stage presence then individual clump lashes for my wedding but this was the first lash to lash extension and the time was worth it! It took an hour for this procedure for all you newbies (I being one of them) and I am so glad he did an amazing job in such a short time! I’m going to have lash curler separation anxiety for a little bit but I’ll make it. I look forward to how this beauty journey goes. I’m a fan. Not only was the experience a breeze but we chatted the whole time, it was like talking to a lost best friend.
I’m afraid I may be getting myself into a pricey beauty habit. Like I always said, it’s pricey being a woman. I’m looking forward to more events to be beautified by Vincent :-)

I purchased a groupon for a full set of Siberian Mink eyelash extensions based on the reviews I read on Unilocal and my prior great experience with the natural look of Siberian Mink. I haven’t found anyone in the Marina del Rey/​Culver City area previously who worked with real mink extensions, so I was eager to try out Vincent Ford. I also had a bit of a scheduling emergency — I had purchased the Groupon on Monday and was jumping on a plane Saturday for my sister’s wedding, and Vincent totally squeezed me in!
The home studio is very nice — he has a table set up in the living room. As Vincent explained it, working from home enables him to offer services that he performs in a salon for $ 400 for a discount, which makes perfect sense to me! And it is true, I paid almost $ 400 for my last set of Siberian Mink lashes from another practitioner, so he is offering quite a deal.
In about an hour and a half he had done the full set. I asked for a more «natural» look, which means varying the length of the lashes from the inner eye to the outer eye. I have brown-​auburn hair and don’t wear much makeup, so I wanted the lashes to blend with my normal look. They looked BEAUTIFUL — not fake at all! Just like longer, more lush versions of my normal lashes, which was exactly what I was looking for.
Vincent took the time to walk through the after-​care instructions with me, even though I had had lashes before, and even though his next client had showed up a little early and was waiting. He was very thorough and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to see him again for lash extensions.

Being a procrastinator, I had one week to book a hair and makeup artist for my 1940’s themed engagement photos and Vincent somehow squeezed me into his tight schedule. He had 2 other appointments that day!
I feel Asian faces are hard to make look 3-​Dimensional in pictures and he did such a great job shadowing and making the contours of my face (or lack thereof) stand out especially for the camera. My hair came out amazing too. I felt like Veronica Lake when I was done! My hair and makeup lasted the entire 7 hours of my photo shoot. We ended up shooting at Union Station, the Disney Concert Hall, The Grove, and LACMA. It was also really windy, but my hair and makeup stayed intact!
I was going to wait and see how my engagement photos turned out but I booked Vincent instantly for my wedding after I saw what he could do. I did get to have a sneak peak during the photo shoot because the photographer is my friend and it did come out amazing! My sister came along to shoot some photos too.
For my wedding, I’m going to do the pinup curls and a birdcage veil with a lace gown. I’m so excited to see how everything turns out. Vincent is so versatile and can do so many types of looks, even vintage. Love him and his work. Vincent is very professional and easy to get along with. I completely recommend him.

super professional and SOOOO affordable!
i needed a last minute appointment for a lash perm in time for the weekend and the only time he could fit me in was 10:30, but i told him i wouldn’t be able to make it till 10:40 and he accommodated that.
he was quick (but not sloppy) with his application. i forgot what goes on in the process of a lash lift. he told me as we were going through the steps, but of course i forgot.
this was about 2 – 3 weeks ago and my asian lashes are still looking long and lifted. and it was only like $ 80 or something. awesome.

I went to Vincent’s beautiful studio for lash extensions 3 weeks ago and I am going back in for a refill pretty soon. Previously I have tried Latisse, RapidLash, and Ardell eyelash growing serum. Latisse was very very expensive, it gave me longer lashes but the result was really not dramatic enough to make any difference, besides, it gave me dark eye circles (yikes!). Rapidlash had some results, but again, I still had to use fake eyelashes to get the look I want. So, I decided to get some eyelash extensions to see what the fuss is all about!
Vincent is definitely very very good at what he does! He spent a lot of time beforehand to communicate with me regarding my expectations and what look I want. Actually, two of my coworkers also went in and got their lash extensions and really loved it too! One of them got it for her wedding and it was gorgeous and dramatic, just perfect for her wedding photos, the other one had a more natural look that was also very beautiful and perfect for looking great every day!
I told Vincent that I want a more dramatic Bambi look and he gave me his professional and honest advice on what he thinks would look good on me. The result was amazing! I have been walking around the last few weeks getting compliments from random people all the time! Most people did not mention the eyelashes specifically but its really obvious to me that the lashes makes a huge difference in my look even if I don’t wear any make up. Some of the lashes had since then fallen out but it still looks pretty good~ I’m so excited that I found Vincent so I can have these beautiful lashes all the time!
Also, I’m sure other Unilocalers have mentioned already, he has such a calming demeanor, it was so enjoyable to chat with him while we do the extensions! He’s very knowledgeable and he’s been in the business (make-​up artist) for over 10 years! I am really excited that I found him!
