I can't wear any type of mascara so I was thrilled to learn about lash extensions. First I went to someone else in Los Gatos, but she was hard to get into plus her demeanor was sort of sour. I wanted to try someone else, and that's when I found Thi.
And I'm so glad I did!!! She is far superior to the first one in every way. She works wickedly quickly so you can get on with your day. She does an awesome job on lashes and really knows what she's doing. And her personality is awesome! Thank you, Thi!!
To those who gave a so-so review saying their lashes fell out earlier than expected, some people (myself included) have more moisture or natural oil around their eyes which means the glue lasts a little less long. It just means having a fill a little more often.
Soooooo the time I came in before my last, almost all of my eyelashes had came out. In not even 2 weeks. I don't know if it was because of my lash growth cycle or what, but I was extremely disappointed. I came back and we did a full set. Not even 2 days later my right eye got so swollen, itchy, flakey, and red. I was hoping it would just go away, but it didn't. When I told T about this, she said we could go ahead with the fill and use a different glue. Um, I'm sorry. My swollen eyeball wants these things out, and now. I got them taken out and it just got worse. So more than a month later, my eye is still swollen and red and itchy, and it's now turned into pinkeye, despite treatment. I'm almost positive it's not an allergic reaction, and had something to do with more of the cleanliness of the tools and stuff used.
My lashes looked fantastic up until this point, and I was bummed I couldn't have them anymore. Just make sure everything is sanitized and cleaned, including the blankets and pillows she has you laying on, if you do decide to go.
Ive been getting lash extensions since they were invented and have had multiple ppl apply them and NO ONE does them better than Thi, she is simply the BEST there is! I also had her tattoo my eyebrows and those turned out perfect as well! She has a natural knack for making people beautiful.
Review Source:Thi totally ROCKS!!
I wasn't going to yelp because having lash extensions is one of my beauty "secrets" - but I feel it is my duty to let everyone know who is thinking about lash extensions to GO FOR IT!! But lash extensions are only as good as the artist who applies them, Thi Tran is an outstanding artist & her  spirit is as wonderful as her artistry. If anyone asks me about my lashes - "you look so good - what did you do? -  your eyes have opened up & look so alive" - I am so proud to direct them to Thi. She always finds the time to fit me in & is wonderfully gracious as a person. My appointments with her are so soothing, she is so gentle with her applications that I never feel a thing; in fact, I usually fall asleep as she makes me feel so relaxed!! The end result are  natural looking lashes making me feel more confident in my appearance, along with a very relaxed demeanor.
Thi is am amazing person & artist, you will be so happy if you decide to go to her for lash extensions!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would give her a million!!
Thi is so sweet and amazing. She saved my poor lashes :(
It was my first time getting eyelash extensions at some place in San Jose, and I immediately regretted it afterwards. They were really heavy and did NOT look natural at all-- which was something I was aiming for. They were ridiculously long and thick... Anyways, about a week later, I was speaking to a customer and commented on how gorgeous her lashes were and she recommended Thi to me. I needed to get my lashes removed anyways since my right eye was starting to get a bit swollen and irritated from the heavy lashes.
Long story short, Thi told me that the previous lady put the lashes way too close to my eye which was irritating it (hence the swelling), AND the lady put way too many lashes on each natural eyelash. At the end, we saw that my eyelashes were ruined...they were short and so many had fallen out because of the heavy lashes.
SO I got a new set from Thi and I LOVE THEM! They look so natural but gorgeous, and they're not heavy at all. She said my damaged lashes will grow back out and that when they do, she'll be able to do more with them (but they already look great!) She was quick, did a fabulous job, and I'll be visiting her a lot from now on ;) Her price is competitive, and although she's super busy she's still very accommodating with scheduling. I've already recommended her to all my friends and family!! :) :)
If you knew me at all, you'd know that I'm pretty lowkey with my beauty regimen with three exceptions: 1. eyebrows 2. eyelashes 3. hair
Eyebrows are the frames to the windows of your soul (your eyes-DUH!) and lashes are the drapes. And Uncle Jesse from Fullhouse taught me a thing or two about the importance of great hair.
My hair stylist recommended Thi for her eyelash extensions, and I want to tell you that I'm glad I listened. For the following reasons:
1. She uses Novalash and not just some run of the mill lashes from who knows where. They seem to be more sturdier than the other two places I've been (from a very "high-end" competitor closeby and another moderately priced salon). These lashes are sturdy and don't seem to "flip" like others.
2. I love her accessibility! Â If I forget to schedule an appointment with her in person, I'll text her (which tends to happen often) and she gives me my options. Easy peasy.
3. Her fill costs. Her rates are competitive in comparison to others. Aside from the quality of the lashes, that's the biggest factor you need to consider with lash extensions. Think about it: it's better to splurge in the first session and then pay a little for upkeep. If you are paying more than $50 (before tips), they better be some damn good lashes that won't fall out after 3 weeks. Â
4. She is quiccccckkk!
5. Great customer service! She's very busy yet she's always managed to accomodate my requests. I still had on old extensions from another salon and asked her if she would charge for their removal. She said she wouldn't charge me since I was getting lashes from her-removal and new extensions were done in about an hour 15. Wow!
I believe this place is a two person operation. Thi handles the lashes (and probably other things) and the other lady handles the nails. I haven't indulged in the mani/pedis, but if available they can do the lashes/ mani& pedi simultatenously to save time! They do gel/shellac polish by the way. Awesomeee!
Bellerose is lcoated in the 2nd floor of a business complex across from a Valero's gas station in Los Gatos.
I'm obsessed.
I thought I'd try NovaLash eyelash extensions for my upcoming vacation to Kauai. Frankly I look like Golem (LOTR) with out them and because I didn't want to look like a psycho on the beach with a strip of falsies on glued to my face...
Thi did a really awesome job, was done in under an hour and my eyelashes are still looking bomb despite my adventurous 2 week vacation. Her prices are competitive (I did a lot of research before coming here... all over the Bay Area)
Thi's salon is across the street from Valero and upstairs in the business unit. Recommend!!
I found T through my hairdresser at Krush, my eyelash extensions are amazing. Â I love the "natural" look, received a lot of compliment from friends, co-workers and even strangers. Â I just stared using the nails service, my nails person was on vacay for a month so I thought I gave T a try. Â Loved it, very happy with mani and pedi service. Â This past Saturday, I had eyelash extensions, eyebrow tattoed, mani and pedi all within the 2 hours spent. Â Left feeling like a princess, time saving was to write about. Â It would have taken a minimum of 4 hours to get it all done and i got it done in almost 2 hours. Â Who wouldn't loved that? Â
Her pricing is reasonable, personable service, she's throughout and conscientious about her work so I am a HAPPY CUSTOMER!
Poor Thi, she already has more business than she can handle, but I have to update!
I've been coming to Thi for quite a while now. Â Every trip is a treat. Â My eyelashes look great (thank you Thi and Nova Lash!). Â The reason for the update is the great pedicure I had today! Â Full on calf massage while my feet were warmed in a parifin wax booty! Â Mindy was amazing.
I LOVE Bellerose!
Weren't born with beautiful long voluminous lashes? Then you can fake it naturally with NOVALASH extensions! These are single lashes that are glued on to your natural lashes, lasts several weeks and will not make your real lashes fall out.
I have tried many salons and Thi at Bellerose absolutely has the magic touch. You can literally fall asleep when she is applying and removing these lashes. She is that good, so gentle with the application process. I have been to other salons since it was cheaper but I definitely got what I paid for, lashes that did not look natural, stay on for more than a week, and I was even told to "relax" because the last lady kept making me finch and uncomfortable.
The 1st application is the initial investment and then you just come back for maintenance every 2 weeks are so.
The space located close to Downtown Los Gatos is very cute, clean, and comfortable. The salon also offers manis/pedis, shilac, facials, and waxing. Thi is absolutely the sweetest thing, I always enjoy our talks during my visits to see her.
*Update 10/4/11 Just got my lash refill done today and at the same time Shilac on my fingers! I love how they are so efficient. I am definitely coming back in the future to get my nails and toes done!
I am a loyal and long client of Thi, she is the best! She always makes you feel welcome, does an amazing job, and is genuinely interested in what I've been up to; we have become good friends : ) I always see her for a wax and pedicure and always have a good time. Lynn does a great job too, she is so sweet. She gives me the most relaxing and luxurious foot massage everytime. Don't waste your time going anywhere else, Thi is the one to see!
Review Source:Thi can do just about anything from waxing to even facial tattoos (eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip liner). Personally I see Thi for  eyelash extension, she does an amazing job. My lashes don't even need mascara anymore. She does a really good job at waxing, shaping brows especially! Her facials make your skin look and feel great.
Review Source:I love this place! Â I love that I now have eyelashes and I can feel them blowing in the wind. Â It's very clean and that's a must in my book! Â Thi is very gentle when she removes and adds eyelashes. Â She is also very friendly listens to what you want done. Â It's great and I recommend it to all of my friends!
Review Source:Thy is the best around town for eyelash extentions! I've tried 2 other places in the past and 1 place they fell off the next week, the second place she would leave gaps in my eyelashes. I love Thy and her workmanship. She's fast too. By the way I also get compliments on what beautiful eyelashes I have. People think their mine,they look so natural. I also get all my waxing done there and love it!
Review Source:Tina is the best! I just got my last extensions done last week and got so many compliments. At first no one knew it was extentions.....they just asked me what kind of mascara do I use. In that same week my friend and mom went to get their lashes done too. They were both really happy with the results.
Another thing I would really recommend is the facial. Believe me....u will not regret it. She does a really thorough and wonderful job. And she's gentle. I've gone to a few places and nothing beats this one......
This place is great.  They are very clean and you can watch them sterilize the tools right in front of you.  They also offer Massage, Facials and Eyelash Extensions.  I have received tons of compliments on my Eyelash Extensions.  They look incredibly awesome.  Tina is the owner and she offers a friendly  non pretentious and casual environment.  Walk ins are welcome, however they are always busy, so I recommend making an appointment. Oh yeah, did I mention they are always happy to give you an extra 10 minute foot massage.  All the girls are great!!!!
