UPDATE: After Ashley filled in my lashes, they looked beautiful but they only lasted 1 week again! I have since gone somewhere else to get them filled and I'm now at 2 weeks and my lashes are still full. So it wasn't that I was using oil products or anything. I'm not sure why my lashes were not lasting with Ashley.
Original Review:
5 stars for quality of lashes and the way they look in the beginning but 2 stars for the longevity of the lashes.
I found Ashley thru an amazon local deal. It was easy to book via the style seat ap for my first full set of lash extensions. She is on the 2nd floor of a little plaza which was fairly easy to find with my navi.
I LOVE the quality of her lashes, they are probably the softest and lightest lashes I've ever had. In my previous experiences, after a few showers, the lashes seem to get a bit crunchy and don't feel as soft as when they were originally put on but not Ashley's lashes. Her lashes are super soft and remain soft even after a few showers. She has an eye for beauty, as the lashes looked beautiful when she was done. They were placed perfectly so that it looked full and even.
However, for some reason, her lashes don't last as long as I'm used to. I've been getting eyelash extensions on and off for about 3 years and I can usually go about 3 weeks before I need a fill. Her lashes began rapidly falling out on the 3rd day. I had told her I'm allergic to certain glues, so she might have used less glue than she normally does to be on the safe side. By day 6, I had lost more than half my lashes on my right eye (it looked like it would after 3.5-4 weeks having lashes). It was not my lashes shedding either, as the lashes were falling out by itself. I did text her around day 3 or 4 to let her know they were falling out too quickly and she let me know she was out of town for the holidays and to look on style seat to book an appointment for when she was back so I did. I went back to her exactly 7 days after getting my full set with her and she thinks that I maybe have used products that contained oil. But I've been getting lash extensions for awhile now so most my products are oil free (I only wear eyeliner/makeup on the weekends and use Le Metier liquid eyeliner, Estee Lauder gentle eye make up remover, and Clarins Gentle Foam Cleanser oil free. Even my eye cream is a clear gel cream, so its not as emollient as a cream). I haven't changed my products and I've never had my lashes fall off like this.
Anyways, after my fill with Ashley, my lashes looked lovely again. I believe she went with thinner lashes this time (she thought another reason they were falling off where that the lashes .20 width extensions were too heavy for my lashes). Also I asked for C curl instead of J curls that were put on originally (that was my first time getting J curls, didn't particularly like them as much as the C curls). She charged me for my fill, but luckily she did give me a small discount because it had only been a week. The new set she put on me is lasting a bit better but I am still shedding a few lashes per day and again the ones falling out are not attached to my lashes so it's not my lashes shedding. I'm waiting to see how long these lashes last before I book my next appointment because I just simply can't afford getting a fill every 1-1.5 weeks. If they would last 3 weeks like I'm used to, this place would be perfect! read more
