I was warned....and now I can't get enough!
What Every Woman in Bay area needs to Know about EYE LASH EXTENSIONS AND LIP AND EYE LINER TATOOING!!!!
Hello Ladies in and around Bay area,
Although I have been a customer of a number of spas in the last 10 years that I have lived in bay area, and I have considered a "regular" at some salon & Spa, I have never been moved to write an opinion or a review...Until Now!
I first noticed a woman with beautiful eyelashes in Home Depot(Hercules) and heard her remark, "this was the best thing I have ever had done!" as someone another person was remarking upon her lashes. I always want to hear form a real person, about what is New and Great, rather than reading about it and just not being sure.I asked the woman to tell me more and she happily told me that she had been to a spa that specializes in eye lash extensions, and that she was happy to share the info! So she began to tell about the process, which takes about 90 minutes, and the follow up "fills" that one can choose if they wish to continue the look.
Well, I just had to see for myself, or start by hearing for myself. I called into Harmony and reached a friendly (but not saccharine-sweet) receptionist. Though I could tell that she was busy with appointments coming in and the other duties of a front line person, she understood that I wanted it "all in a nutshell" with regards to the price, the procedure etc. Amazingly, she did not ask for my name and number to call me back, nor did she go straight to the "let me book you in for a consult" idea. I think she knows that Harmony does not suffer from a lack of customers but she also realizes that people like me are going to make a decision based on one phone call and if I don't get what I need on that call, I move on to the next phone number. So, Kristine (the receptionist) gave me the whole story in a minute or 2 and I understood enough to book the soonest appointment I could get.
First, I am not a real "girlie girl" in that I know how or even would want to put on false eyelashes. This idea seemed perfect for me-a mom, a runner, and a woman nearing 30 that still wants to look my best without doing much at all! The lashes are waterproof so showering and swimming are just non-issues...nor is sweating. The LASHES stay put! The process is so pleasant as well! Who among us cannot enjoy lying in a dentist like chair with her eyes closed for an hour or so each month, to keep this look up! The facility itself is very relaxing, with everyone there feeling rushed as they come through the door, and practically pleading to stay after their lashes are done. As I continued to visit the Spa, I began to more curious about the (Lana) doing permanent tattoo...on eyebrows, lips and eyelids. I asked about this procedure and was told that Lana would require a personal consult (free), as much information would be required to determine if I would be a good candidate. I met with Lana 3 days later, went through a brief medical history and some Q and A that I had (how much pain, etc) we set our appointment together for permanent lip and eyeliner make up. It DID NOT HURT!!! She put cream on my eyes that numbed me, completely. The liner was done in 20 minutes and I am so very relieved and pleased with the results! It is slight and subtle, but obvious to me, which is just what I asked for. I absolutely cannot imagine having anyone but this lovely, nurturing woman, dong this procedure. She got the colors right and her artistic suggestions were right on!
SO, Please know that I don't write reviews, or even call back for surveys.... This is different as I just feel angry at poor service and so gracious for being treated really well.......above average! Visit Harmony or call if you are even curious....... read more
