Yesterday:
A nightmare - pretty much from start to finish. My left eye is still hurting, a whole lot, and I might have to go to the doctors soon if it doesn't get better. Readers, read on.
I walk in about two minutes late, I apologize. Abigail takes me to the back, tells me to lie down, and pretty much wants to start, only asking me how many lashes I want per eye.
I stop her and ask about my options, and she insists that I lie down first, and only gave me a few options to choose from. She didn't tell me about how the procedure was going to go, didn't tell me to take off my contacts (apparently I was supposed to) and was very curt and kinda rude.
There are two other girls besides me who were there before I started - my procedure is done before theirs.
While it's being done, I'm already feeling a little bit uncomfortable, but I don't say anything because I thought once I open my eyes, I'll feel better.
I open my eyes - I don't, and the lashes look awful. They're uneven, and are clearly different from my own lashes. Granted, if they had told me it would look like that, I would have asked for other options. Instead, Abigail lectures me on how that's how they're supposed to look, and how my straight lashes aren't supposed to blend in with the curly ones I chose.
I forget that and tell them my eyes are uncomfortable. They feel like there's something underneath my lids and that I'm uncomfortable - that I want them taken off.
Abigail almost refuses t, saying that she doesn't recommend it, regardless of how uncomfortable my eyes feel. They provided me no solutions and finally gave up and yelled at me - "OK. You want them taken off? Lie down."
I called them out on being rude and unhelpful, and they responded with, "We're not rude - this never happened and we don't think it's us. It's you." Forgive me, but my eyes were itchy and scratchy when I walked through the door.
So they started taking off the lashes - excruciatingly itchy and uncomfortable. My eyes were spazzing out and they kept on yelling me to relax. Hard to relax when you won't let me itch/open/tense up my eyes to relieve the itchiness.
That's that. After, they said, you're probably allergic to the glue or the anti-wrinkle eyepad, but we don't know which one. Wow, thanks? They gave me cold cotton pads to put over my eyes after and advised me to take Bendryl. Thanks Dr. Abigail - I'm glad you know so much about whatever happened to me.
They didn't make me pay, but asked for tip for Abigail as she did spend a ton of time on me. Well. She also blew up my eyes. I gave her a 20. Never coming back.
TODAY: My left eye is freaking out. Every time I look up to the left or down to the right. There's a spot on my eye that is scratchy/hurting. I don't know what to do, and I know they can't help. Sucks to suck right?
I wasn't going to write a review. Lots of places are rude and things don't work out, but this is my vision we're talking about, and I don't want this happening to any of you guys.
Also, they kept on speaking Korean while I was trying to talk to them. I may not understand it completely, but I don't appreciate all the names they called me. I'm sure they value their white patrons a lot, but maybe as an Asian I'm just not worth their time.
Overall, worst beauty experience ever. My friend went to Dorothy's Day Spa and her eyes looks great! And the prices are better. Look them up instead. read more
