NOTICE: THIS WILL BE A REALLY LONG REVIEW, I remind you…read more
I don't know where to begin but anyway, this Friday (today) I'm having a party at my workplace. Unfortunately, since I will have no time to do my eye makeup today--still have classes and work to do today, I was thinking of having an eyelash extensions. Bear in mind I have had an eyelash extensions before for almost a year. Unfortunately, I don't really like the way it looked on me as I prefer a more whispy eyelashes on my eyes. I decided to find recommendations from Yelp on Wednesday but unfortunately, most of the places I asked were already booked before Friday. Fortunately I stumbled on Lashury and Patty was kind enough to put me on the next day's (Thursday's) schedule. She was also being considerate by moving my appointment into a later time due to the fact I finished my class close to my original appointment time--she changed my appointment from 5:30PM to 6:00PM since I finished my class at 4:50PM--and she was afraid I might come late and will affect the eyelash extensions process. Turns out my class ended a lil bit late than usual but thanks to Patty, I was able to come by without being late lol. This is one of the things I really appreciate from Patty.
After I came, she asked me about my preference, my history with eyelash extensions, and even explained to me how there are certain techniques for each eyes shape, and that asian eyes' technique is different from other eyes'. She asked me what style I wanted to opt for and I thought since it would be a party, I opted for a more glamorous style: the winged style. At first I was afraid of how it would look like on me as usually I opted for a more natural, cuter look. However, I was surprised when she finished doing my eyelashes; I look so different--in a good way of course. The extensions make my eyes look brighter, bigger, and more lifted--no one was able to bring this effect to my eyes before. Today during the party, everyone was surprised with my new look; most of them told me that I look more awake due to the eyelash extensions. Everyone praised my eyelashes and I feel like a princess today tbh lol.
In terms of shedding, there's only one eyelash that shedded today on my right eye but it's because I put contact lenses on both of my eyes--I had my eyelash extensions on Thursday evening and I put my contact lenses today early in the morning. In other words, it's my fault for it to shed because I didn't listen to Patty's advice--that I need to wait 24 hours until my eyelashes can get in contact with water--and proceed to put on my contacts on--and even eyeshadows later on lol--and wet my eyelash extensions. I'm honestly surprised that there's only one eyelash that shedded today as I was rubbing my eyes pretty hard today--I'm having trouble putting on contact lenses that's why. After the party, I removed all of my face makeup and carefully cleaned up my eyelash extensions and there's NOT EVEN SINGLE EYELASH that shedded this time and I was like holy f-- how the hell this could happen; my previous eyelash extensions I had will definitely shed after going through all those rubbing, contacts with liquids, etc. so I was surprised with how well these eyelashes stay in put. But yeah, please listen to Patty's advice and keep your extensions away from any liquid 24 hours after the extension lol; I was being naughty but thank God my extensions are still looking bomb YAY.
While she was doing my extensions, she was kind enough to offer me snacks and water--which I highly appreciate since that day I was having a really bad sore throats. Regarding the undereye pads/tapes she put before the extensions (I don't know what you called it) that some reviewers mentioned here, at first it tugged into my bottom right eye part as well but she always asked me if anything is wrong etc and she would listen to you and adjust the pads/tapes for you if you are feeling uncomfortable--which was the case for me. Not only she is knowledgeable in her area, she is being considerate and truly cares about her clients. If there's anything wrong with the way she treats you, just tell her straight away--in a good manner of course--and I bet she will listen to you. I mean, don't expect everything to go smoothly if you can't speak up what's in your mind; again, not everyone can 100% guess what you want without asking.
Final verdict? I would totally recommend this place, especially if you have monolids or droopy eyes like mine; Patty knows what she is doing and she literally listens to you and your wishes. Too bad I'll be leaving for a vacation within few weeks, but I will totally come again and opt for a more natural look for daily campus routine.
Anyway, thanks Patty for enhancing my eyes' natural beauty, really love the way you put these whispy eyelashes onto my natural eyelashes! Will def contact you after my vacation (or after my final if possible)
