Let me open with I love this place, but there is a reason I am not YET giving it 5 STARS. Once my one issue is solved I will be CERTAIN to update. Until then please read my review/lash story and think about heading to Emme Lash Bar.
I am definitely a fan of Emme Lash Bar! I first started with getting the "lash lift" in a salon in Norwood. However, I guess I have very "heavy & thick" lashes because they did not stay curled for more than 3 days!! So I stopped wasting my $ there. Then, a mutual friends cousin began doing extensions. I looked for into it, saw her clients before and afters and trusted her to do a full set for me. I absolutely loved going to her but 1 I had to travel from Norwood to Wakefield and 2 towards the end of my time as her client she had made my lashes to fake looking and I even got some kind of irritation in my left eye. It got so red and irritated, this is when I went online and found out about Emme Lash Bar. I called and spoke with Ahnny. She told me to come down in and hour and she would check out my eye. (I was worried it was infected for something). 1. Ahnny doesn't typically work on Sunday's but she stayed and waited to check out my eye for me 2. She explained how "stiff" my lashes were and how much glue my prior girl was using. 3. She was able to separate some of the lashes removing some of the glue to give me some relief. Ahnny was so professional the whole time I was there. She NEVER "downed" my prior lash girl or said anything bad just simply explained that there are different techniques. After that I let that set of lashes grow out and decided to get a full set from Emme Lash Bar. BEST decision ever. My lashes look REAL, they are NOT stiff, and I always get complements on them. Booking appointments are easy. There are also SO many different lash options offered and I am certain Ahnny will take the time to find what you are looking for. I also want to give a shout out to Christine because I was leaving for a bachelorette party in April and I came in and my left eye practically had no lashes left... *this was because Ahnny was not available and I had gone to someone else filling in for her and I don't think she did a quality job. (disclaimer: I do not see her name on the booking site anymore) So thank you Christine! Also, I have VERY sensitive eyes. I have to put in redness drop immediately after getting my lashes done for they get super red. Ahnny & Christine told me this is mainly due to the tape used and blinking or moving my eye. They said don't worry no problem if there is any discomfort please let me know and we will adjust the tape. And wala we found a perfect system. Emme Lash Bar is very accommodating and very responsive. You can Call, Text, and Facebook message with any questions and they are actually responsive. Major Points right there.
Now that I have gave all my positive great feedback, I do need to say where I stand with my lashes now. I have researched and asked many different lash professionals how to keep my lashes longer. I have received lots of feed back from Ahnny and several others. Brush them morning and night, no oil base lotions, creams, or removers, sleep on your back or side, avoid high heat, etc. Let me tell you... I have followed ALL the guidance I have been given but and still having my lashes last decent for 2 weeks. Ahnny recently back from vacation did my lash filllast Friday. At my appointment and she asked if I sleep on my left side. I said... Ah not that I know of. She said I know we use D curl but these dont look like that they have gotten so straight. I agreed and said they are in rough shape, but I don't know what to do. She took a closer look as she began my lashes and said it looks like I have "straight" lashes and to avoid high heat because that can cause them to straighten. Let me tell you, I haven't even opened the stove! Trying to save my lashes. I sent them a text a little bit ago seeing what they can do to make my lashes last 2 weeks. Waiting for a response now. Hoping there is something Ahnny is willing to do because paying $85+ tip roughly $100-$115 every 2 weeks and only having them really last 1 week isn't working and its not right. Once this is addressed and solved I would certainly give a 5 STAR!
** Update Ahnny fit me in tonight because my lashes are practically all done and it totally stresses me out!!! She is going to see what she can do to fix them. I sent her pictures because it practically looks like I only have 4-5 lashes left!!! Ahhh! praying this round goes on and STAY for 2 weeks! read more
