My experience:
Text message to the owner/manager the next day following application:
This message is for the store manager. I was in on Monday and had lashes done with (tech name). My left eye was extremely red when I left. The next day it was still red, plus the eyelid was sore as if something was pulling on it. I came back in yesterday to have the lashes removed by (tech name - same person that applied them).
That process has left my lashes a mess. Not only was it painful, my left eye is still red, sore and watery and now both eyelids are swollen.
In addition to the above, the lashes didn't look anything like the photo you showed me or any of the photos from the website, (I went home and compared that night). I also researched that there should be no burning or itching when the lashes are applied. I experienced that as well. I think (tech name) is very sweet, I'm just wondering if she is experienced enough to be doing this procedure.
When you said I would love them, it convinced me to go ahead and purchase the refill too. There is no way I'm doing this again. I would like my credit card refunded.
Thank you
Owner Response:
Good morning. Yes, (tech name) is very experienced and is licensed and certified through the state of Florida. I think the issue is with your sensitivities. We do have a sensitive glue we could try free of charge which is for ppl that are sensitive. We also have other lashes. It's just that she already used the lashes and materials and glue abs on the receipt it does say no refund. And the fork you signed indicated that some may be more sensitive than others. But I would like to work with you. You will have a credit at the store for anything you would like and that includes, brows, lashes, or our other lashes that has a fume free glue. It's called the million.
Please feel free to stop in I will take you personally myself

Went back to get the million lashes. Made an apt for the owner/manager to apply as she stated above. When I arrived, she was not there, so I told them I would wait for her. She told the technician (by phone) to go ahead and prep me while waiting for her to show up. When they prep you, they tape your eyes closed for the procedure. I hear her come in and start talking to me and I ask if she's going to do the procedure, she says yes, but is just letting the tech do the prep part. Meanwhile she stands there talking as the tech starts the procedure and proceeds to do the entire application. Unfreakin real. Like you aren't going to know it's the same person working on you. At that point, I've wasted a lot of my time and realize I'm dealing with a narcissistic liar. I get the million lashes put on with their "sensitive glue" this time. They started falling out a few days later. When I went back to get the fill that I had already paid for the first time, they said I no longer qualified for it and would have to purchase a new set.
The first set of lashes I had done are not soft, they felt like hard plastic and were heavy. Too remove them that following day, they used eyelash remover that smelled just like acetone, I was told it wasn't, but I know it was. Acetone in your eyes ...
The million lashes, were a little better but started falling out the next day even without getting them wet etc. As a result of all of this, my natural lashes were very thinned out and sparse, not even enough to put mascara on and look presentable. It took months for them to recover to their natural state. I spent a lot of money for lashes that didn't last and never got the fill that I prepaid for. There's a reason that place is empty when you walk by. I think they hope tourists will just walk in and not research the reviews. Plus they know they will never have to deal with them after the fact. Interestingly, during our conversation the owner/manager said that she was from New York, upon researching there is a business by the same name in Buffalo in a mall. It also has bad reviews and similar observations as this location, possibly same owner/manager? read more
