I was excited for my appointment to get extensions (especially because it took me months to get an appointment) for the first time but was really disheartened. I arrived early, filled out paperwork, was offered water and sat while 2 other women walk in, one taken in immediately and the other waiting as well. I was not told that jessica was not the one going to be working on me, as I was told on the phone at the time of making my appointment, but rather another esthetician with far less experience (2 vs 10 years experience). Although she answered my questions, she did not explain one step of what she would be doing and more importantly, when it would be happening (this was especially distressing when I was sprayed with water with no warning - quite the shocker). Further, the esthetician became very short and frustrated with me because, I explained to her multiple times I was sensitive with eye touching and she would need to be patient with me. Also, since I was new to this process I wanted to know my options and would have appreciated a gentler touch not to mention knowing what was to happen- especially with your eyes closed in a new environment. For goodness sake you are trusting a virtual stranger with your eyes- patience should be required at every turn!!
My time was interrupted numerous times by another newer esthetician who my girl needed to check her work. It is very unnerving to be in a new environment, eyes closed and hearing the door creaking open constantly, loud talking & laughing in the hall & knowing others were walking around the room & my person leaving the room multiple times. Immediately after the service was finished she asked what I thought. How am I supposed to know what they're supposed to look or feel like, so my answer was good. However, I arrived home and found my lashes thick, hard and shedding.
To the credit of the esthetician she did have the smarts to consult with jessica about my allergy concerns & after I complained in front of jessica about being interrupted multiple times during my service, when jessica admitted she was available for consult by the new girl & my service didn't need to be interrupted, in addition I complained about not being told what would be happening to me & that I was especially distressed about being sprayed with water on my lids without warning, I was offered 15% off my fill, which I cancelled.
I'll just wait until all of the lashes fall out & deal with whatever it looks like for a wedding I'm attending soon. My lashes feel thick, clumpy & look completely fake or someone who doesn't know how to apply mascara (similar to a stick on lash) and I was embarrassed at work today as people took double takes & looked away. Can't wait to see me in 3 weeks at a family wedding.
My best advice would be to look elsewhere & think twice - no three times if extensions is the way you go. Good luck!!! read more
