I found Lora through Groupon and I could not be happier! Like the previous reviewer, I opted for the silk eyelashes as well. In the past, I got the regular eyelash extensions and they seemed rather heavy on my small eyes. I am half Asian and while I was blessed with super full, super thick, long Asian hair on the top of my head, it seems I was not as blessed in the eyelid region. You take the good with the bad. Enter, Lora. Like the previous reviewer indicated, she works rather quickly and does not chat much, which I like. I'm not anti-social it's just that I've noticed that when I do chat, I tend to sort of open my eyes a tiny bit which isn't good when you have chemicals near your eyes. Once she was done, she held up the mirror and...I was very, very impressed! Natural looking, long and full eyelashes, but not too crazy for my small, almond-shaped eyes...just pure perfection! I have since returned probably four or five times. I will tell you why I love Lora. First, I have had eyelash extensions as other salons and have always waited a good five, ten, fifteen minutes to be seen. Not so with Lora! I have never, ever waited for Lora! She is always waiting for me when I arrive! She has never even been wrapping up with a previous customer. She is waiting...and I arrive a few minutes early, sometimes five minutes early. I know she has customers because it is actually a bit difficult to get an appointment because she is so booked. She has always been respectful of my time and I love that! Next, I have had eyelash extensions before at other salons and each time my eyes have burned very, very badly. Let me say that I do have allergies and am highly allergic to a lot of things. I am not sure if it is the glue or the pads they use under your eyes, but I usually leave looking like someone punched me in the eyes. Not so with Lora! Once, my eyes watered just the tiniest little bit, but usually, nothing, absolutely nothing, no burning! Amazing! Lastly, the eyelashes seem to really last! I have had eyelash extensions before that I have watched just fall out within a few days. Not so with Lora! My eyelashes look amazing for a good two weeks. I get them done every two to three weeks and they look fabulous. I tried to hold out for three weeks and started to look ratchet, so two and a half seems to be the sweet spot. My only super minor complaint is the actual location of her studio. It is in a weird building right on Gandy Blvd. There is a LOT of traffic getting there, particularly during lunch or after work so leave early! I think they are doing some construction around there and it is adding to the traffic problems. It is super hard to get out into the traffic after you are done and make a U-turn on Gandy Blvd if you are heading down to Bayshore. The mere thought of that traffic gets my blood pressure up. I try not to think about it. Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend Lora! You will NOT be disappointed! I love her! She is so super sweet! read more
