I tried The Lash Bar for extensions for the first time in October - opted for a half-set for £60. By the weekend i.e. 4 days later, over half had fallen out despite me not getting them wet, going in any steam rooms or using products on them. Went back for 15minutes maintenance as soon as I could which they did do for free however these also fell out within days. Same technician did them both times. SO thought I would give it one last chance and booked in for 15minutes maintenance a week or so later. The manageress did them this time and they stayed in! Hurrah! So, pleased with this result, I then booked in for the £50 half-set special for November last week. I asked for the manageress again seeing as they stayed in when she did them. The next day, my eyelid starting itching and a red lump appeared. By the end of the day, both eyelids were itching like mad. I went to my doctor for fear of an eye infection from having the extensions and was given medicated cream, told not to wear my contact lenses and not rub or touch them - great! By the Saturday both eyelids were swollen, red and very itchy so I had to try and soak off the eyelashes using oily based products but obviously some remained which I couldn't get off. I called them on the Monday first thing and explained and they told me to come in and they would remove them and although the manageress wasn't in until later that day, she would call me to discuss what happened. I reminded the ladies in the bar about this as I left but no-one called me back. I said that I would obviously like to have extensions done again but I need to know why I had the reaction that I did having not had it previously - did they change the adhesive or could it have been an infection from the salon. Doesn't look like I will ever find out now!
Also, agree with the other reviews in that none of the technicians wear face-masks and very unpleasant experience to have someone breath in your face for up-to 45minutes at a time!!
I have however had very good eyebrow threading here! read more
