HOW I FOUND THIS FACE PLACE
So... just looking around for a…read morelocal lash extension place... came across an ad sale for this service - at half the price of Extreme Lashes, and decided it was worth a try...
LOCATION and AMBIANCE
Place... close to my gym, difficult to find, since access is not directly by the parking lot, and pretty obviously one of the smallest spaces in the office park. Decorations and style of the interior, reminded me of a cross between a grandmother's house (furniture dating from 40 years ago, too many tchotkes) with some bad Frenchie style gilt mirrors and bad crystal.
Not feelin' the vibe, in comparison to the usual medspa haunts... but the lure of reasonable lash extensions led me onward... I could deal, if this got me what I was looking for...
SERVICE
Okay, the lash tech, daughter of 'Marie' I gleaned from the conversation, was running late on the appointment... because the person ahead of me had gotten there 30 minutes late, cutting into my appointment time. NOT COOL, this is NOT how you gain my admiration or return... BUT it was the day of another Xmas Party, and I had scheduled this into my calendar, so I waited, finally got in, and had them done.
Different brand of lashes, supposed to be better technical design, okay... after the 45+ minutes of application, the results were... thicker in diameter, and a lot of them seemed to be attached at a ratio of 1 extension to 1-2 or even 3 of my lashes.
All one length across the whole lash, they should be varied in size (8-10-12mm) longer at the corners, shorter toward the center, ideally matched to the supporting lash so that it doesnt flip around - which happened, because the extension being longer than the lash, is not stable, and obviously not attached at the base.
Okay - maybe I am getting boring with the details, summary, I went back in 2 weeks and complained that a lot of them had dropped, or clumped together and pulled out when I combed through them. Pretty much demanded repair or a refund... these are supposed to last the life of the lash... which can be anywhere from 30-90 days... not 10...
Second repair, lasted 2 weeks again, not the life of the lashes... if it had, I would not have any lashes where the extensions were attached - strangely, I have tons of lashes where they were. HMM...
Going back 2-3 times a month to get lashes done negates the 'savings'... right?
