1) Mink fur eyelash extensions for $150-- and they are PERFECTION. I will never again live without eyelash extensions, which, ok, is going to change my budget a little, but I can eat out less to look as great as I do with these eyelashes.
I decided on a whim that I wanted them before I went to NYC for my birthday, and I wanted them done soon. On Saturday night, I took to Yelp!, scouring for a place that was not only well recommended, but would be open on Sunday, which was the only day I had available before my trip to get them done.
I called Neva, made an appointment for Sunday morning, and boom, I look stunnnnnning. Seriously. The eyelashes completely reshape my face. I feel beautiful, and I wake up feeling beautiful!!
I went in and was treated so kindly. I went upstairs with Oan (I think that's how you spell her name... pronounced won) and she was just the sweetest, most adorable woman I had ever met. She was so kind and sweet. She had BEAUTIFUL lashes herself. She wears the synthetic ones, and they made her eyes sultry and pretty. She was already pretty, but they just so complimented her face that it took her whole look up a notch. Which is what they inevitable did for me.
I laid down on a very comfortable piece of furniture they have set up, closed my eyes, and fell asleep. She encouraged me to nap should I feel like it, and nap I did.
She individually placed each eyelash on my lids.... with precision, with detail, with care, with professionalism, with perfectionism. She was perfect. And every single eyelash was perfect.
For my first time, I'd say it took between 90 minutes and 2 hours. For a full set, definitely leave yourself enough time for the full 2 hours.
When she was finished, my eyes looked STUNNING. I can't even explain. I've gotten so many compliments!
Ok, here's my words of advice: follow their advice to the T! I didn't. I ended up wearing mascara and eyeliner on them that I wasn't sure if they were oil-based or water-based while I was in NYC, and some of them came out. This was totally my fault. I didn't take care of them like I should have, and I'm going back in for a fill soon and I will play by ALL the rules so they can still in and fabulous for as long as possible. They seriously look so real, no one even knew I had extensions.... I just looked extra put together to people lol
I watched other gals get manicures and pedicures while I was in the shop, and I loved the outcomes. When I go in for my fill, I'm definitely getting a gel mani. I would trust the women in this shop with everything.... eyelashes, nails, feet, the sugar scrub, anything. They are total professionals, sweet women, and a clean salon that I will keep coming back to over and over again. I am a HUGE fan of Neva's, recommend them to anyone, and am now a faithful.
To the Yelpers out there who might not be sure about the eyelash extensions, feel free to message me if you have any reservations. I was a little nervous going into it. But you truly have nothing to worry about, they don't pull your own eyelashes out, and they are just beautiful for the price.
Clearly I'm just raving about them. That's how great my experience was. Thank you, Neva!
2) 2nd time I came in, I came in for the fill. Much cheaper. A different woman did my fill, and at the same time I got a gel manicure done. The eyelashes are STUNNING and the manicure is STUNNING. I will come to Neva's over and over, recommend them to anyone and everyone, and trust these kind ladies with whatever beauty essentials I need. read more
