Don't walk, but run to see Holly for your lash extensions…read more I recently moved here from LA and had to leave my beloved and trusted lash lady of three years. My biggest fear of moving was that I wasn't going to be able to find anyone comparable. I tried one shop that stated they were the best and had amazing reviews, but not even a week of having lashes from them at least 25% had fallen out!! We don't even want to get into what they looked like the second week :( So I almost admitted defeat, and at least I'd get to enjoy being able to rub my eyes without extensions, right? But I figured I'd give one more place a shot, and I couldn't be more happy that I did! Even though I had a request that pretty much made zero sense the way I described it, Holly still made it work. My lashes are full of volume, but not over exaggerated and looking like miss piggy lashes, but still on the natural side for not so much falseness. (Confusing, I know). I'm looking forward to having my next session so I can get a great and relaxing nap in, as long as I don't snore and wake myself up again.

Last week, I was lucky enough to be pummeled by rain and wind while zip lining in the…read morejungle...spend days snorkeling amid fish and coral, get covered in sand watching baby turtles emerge from their nests and spend some mornings challenging salty ocean waves. What does this have to do with Mary's Fabulashes? Well...Mary's lashes STAYED ON the whole time!!!!! I had a great vacation and got some great pics. Whether doing the above or getting dressed up for dinner - I didn't need to mess with that pesky makeup stuff. Now that is a cool vacation. :) RE: OILS: Whole foods sells a small container of jojoba oil. It was cheap, I picked it up. I rub it on lashes for maintenance. The advantage also being that it doubles as eye moisturizer as well. (Serious advantage in that even given the fact I should have some sort of beauty routine I still use soap and water on my face. But I digress...) Re: NATURAL BLONDES: Mary ALSO is the the ONLY person I know who can match eyebrows to my naturally light blond hair. Which, given their super light /nonexistent natural state is pretty impressive. She is part aesthetician and part artist. Re: DRIVING UP NORTH Yes, she's worth it. I live right downtown, and it's a 15 minute drive straight up 1-35 if there isn't any traffic. I can spend that much time getting across downtown sometimes.

EDIT: just got back from the ophthalmologist and she confirmed it is a scratch on the white part of…read morethe eye! Check my photos the yellow part is the scratch. The under eye pad scratched my eye! Painful! Also Chelsey reached out and was very apologetic and sweet, so that's nice she cares enough to reach out and apologize! I will say, the lashes look phenomenal so, it just sucks this happened! ALWAYS speak up if the pad feels uncomfortable! ----- All the ladies are very nice and I had good experiences up until I sat thru the appointment with the owner Chelsey. I understand accidents happen, but at the end of the appointment I opened my eyes and they were burning especially my right eye. I left the appointment feeling like there was something legitimate in my eye. I checked over and over and made sure it wasn't a lash touching my eye when I blinked. Finally was brought to tears as my eye was quite red and just, messing with eyes and not knowing if it's injured is scary. After I cried, miraculously the item got dislodged and finally felt better. I woke the next day to a VERY red and sore eye in the same spot, not a physically inflamed eye area though. I don't know what got in my eye/scratched it but at the end with the lash bonding agent, possibly the under eye pad scratching my eye during the appointment...I just don't know what happened. She seemed to work fast which I don't see as a bad thing, but if it made this happen then maybe go slower? I just want my story to be a cautionary tale. Know the risks getting false lashes. Not worth the risk imo

Christine came up on a search in Austin for lashes. I had been wanting to get lash extensions…read morefor-forever but never knew where to go and prices were always either too high it was obnoxious or sooo low you knew they'd look bad. I was looking for something that looked natural (like they look like they're MY lashes even if they are crazy-ass long) but big and beautiful. After reading about Christine's work and her deal I decided it was well priced and well recommended enough to finally go on and just do it! I called Christine, she answered right away and was very professional, knew her schedule and followed up through a few texts until we secured a time. My friend also wanted a full-set and Christine was super amazing and reasonable offering us a deal if we both came in! HELL YEAH! Her studio was super cute and clean. Her table (where you lay down) was beyond comfy- almost TempurPedic style. It was very easy to relax, too easy actually. Christine was very accommodating to my conversation and questions but also let me relax when i just wanted to unwind during the process. Perfect! Cause you know sometimes you have people who wanna talk too much or not at all and both can be a little creepy or annoying! She did a GREAT job! Very professional in her work, very honest in her prices and the reasoning behind it and no complaints. She told us a few tips for keeping them in the best shape possible. I went to her about three weeks ago and my lashes are finally starting to shed along with some extensions. I only wish I could come to her for my 'refill' but alas, i live in Brooklyn, NY. However, I plan on visiting her once back in Austin. Thank you for the information, the deal and the great look Christine!

I saw Christine a few weeks ago and she was very friendly/sociable and polite. This was my first…read morefull-set application experience. It was done in her home. Her child was home at the time and was needy and loud as a child is expected to be. She tried her best to manage her child and me as the client as professionally as possible though it did not make for a very relaxing experience at all. After my application was completed I was satisfied with how they looked. They were very natural looking with a little bit of oomph. Over the course of the next 48 hours I made sure to follow her instructions - not get the lashes wet etc. However, after 3 days -- the majority of lashes on my right eye had fallen out. On day 4 day, even more had fallen out (there were probably 8-10 lashes left on right eye) and also a lot had fallen out on the left eye as well. I contacted Christine via E-mail but did not get a reply back for 3 days, at which point i had 3 lashes left (after 1 week at this point). I know it was over Thanksgiving holiday so that could be the reason for the delay. She mentioned it was normal to lose a few lashes the first few days but losing more than half in one eye was not normal and to let her know if I wanted her to take a look. This being my first experience, I felt maybe it was just me and did not revisit to get them reapplied and with my current schedule I did not have the time to sit for another hour. So I did not go back even though she offered. After 2 weeks, 1 lash was left on my right eye and I counted about 10 left on the left eye. (80-90 were applied to each eye) I sought out Christine b/c of the offer she had (I paid $89 for a full-set of synthetic at the time). I have friends who get their lashes done and I have since gone to the local company they go to after finding a groupon. It's been 8 days and I have lost maybe 5 lashes. Almost all the lashes are still on and they are full ... I'm assuming it could either be the distraction in her home, or the glue/lash product that was used for the reason my application failed... I would not recommend Christine. I would recommend the other company I now go to b/c of the vast difference in customer experience and quality of application.
