Love love LOVE! Everything about this delightfully hip, yet relaxing and beautiful little boutique…read morescreams "mommy time", or just "me time", which let's face it, every woman needs from time to time.
I purchased a full "Kidman" set (the more "natural" look), with a fill for $75 via Groupon recently, as I have been wanting to give lash extensions a whirl for some time now. What an amazing deal! After I purchased my Groupon, I called to make an appointment, expecting at least a few days wait, but when I explained to the owner, Camille, that I would like to get in as soon as possible, she asked if I would be able to come in that very day (Friday)! But since I was busy playing my alter-ego, SUPERMOM that day, we settled for later the next morning.
Now, this is a rather time-consuming process, considering the highly skilled technicians put each lash on, one by one. But to be quite honest, the time flew by, because the staff makes sure that you are sooo comfortable, with recliners that your body just MELTS into, plush, cozy blankies, snacks, and refreshing flavored water. Whatever you need to be comfortable, they will oblige, with a smile. =)
As I slid in and out of a semi-conscious state, I chatted and joked with the technicians (there are 3), and fellow clients, while Emily worked on beautifully sculpting the perfect cat-eye.
Since I had decided to take Camille up on her offer to upgrade my deal to the "Kardashian" set, which covers approximately 90% of the lashes, for a more VAVAVOOOOM look, (hey, go big, or go home.. am I right, ladies??), Emily ended up running out of time.. so I was asked if I wouldn't mind coming back in later on in the afternoon, at 4:30. Come back to take a break from my Mommy duties, to relax and nap while being pampered? Sigh... if I MUST. ;)
Upon my return, I was put with Marisa, the salon's "master technician". And a master she is! By the time she was through, I felt like a bona fide glam goddess! She also thoroughly explained how to take care of my new peeper-fringe, and how to make them last as long as possible between fills. Afterwards, Camille had me pose for some "after" photos, pumping my ego up even more.. hehehe. =)
Due to the fact that I had to come back to have my lashes finished up, Camille did not charge the $28 upgrade fee, which I thought was absolutely gracious and wonderful! They sent me off with a little goodie bag, including my color choice of a super fun shimmery eyeshadow. I also purchased the eyelash coating, that keeps them looking beautiful and shiny for around $14. Just a swipe or 2 of that after a couple swipes of the lash wand they also sent me home with, and I am set, ready to go in the mornings.
Bye bye mascara... it's been fun... but I'm afraid you have been replaced... Thank you to the AMAZING staff of Entice Lashes for putting a little pep in this girl's step! I can't wait to come back!
