I did a horrible mistake of cutting my lashes. That's a big no no. I am in the process of cutting down on my expenses and so I checked another app for discounted eyelash extensions and found Wink Fairie. The reason I'm writing a review is because Wink Fairie deserves to be on Yelp. This is not just for the benefit of the business owner but for Yelpers who are looking for good quality, good craftsmanship and budget friendly eyelash extensions service.
Mel, the owner and eyelash technician, is very sweet. She does her service in her own house at the moment but will soon be opening her own studio soon. Before she starts working on your eyes she would make sure she knows what your expectations are. She showed me these sketches of different eyelash length, curl and the different styles of eyelashes which would make your eyes look bigger or wider depending on your preference.
For the type of eyes that I have, I chose cat eye style (lashes that are shorter on the inside corner of the eye and gets longer towards the outer corner). She did agree with my decision. She said the doll like eyes (lashes are shorter on the inside and outer corners and grows longer towards the middle of the eyes) are more appropriate for people whose eyes are farther apart.
My appointment was for an hour and it took longer than that. It's my fault as I have been asking too many questions which Mel answered willingly. She knows her craft. She has very light hands and made sure I was comfortable and no lashes were poking my eyes. I'm pretty sure that those who got eyelash extensions would know that the dreadded part of the procedure is when you get to open your eyes. If not done properly, the glue can sting your eyes and would make your eyes water.
The surprising part was I didnt feel anything. I asked her what type of glue she used because it didnt sting my eyes at all. Mel said that it's not about the glue but it's about the humidity or dryness of the air. It has to be the perfect temperature so the glue won't sting. I didn't know that!
I really enjoyed my pampering time with the Wink Fairie. I say give her a try. read more
