Eyelash extension questions

I got them once and wouldn't recommend them. Every time I would shower I just couldn't wash my face appropriately. They were also very heavy and they just feel awkward. When they finally came off I was left with no lashes. All of my real lashes came off along with the fake ones. I suggest you find a good pair of glue on lashes and wear them multiple times without applying much mascara so they'll last you for many wears.

Depends on you. I've had them for 3 weeks now. and I pretty much love them. only have to do my foundation in the morning. its not uncomfy to get them on -you mite even fall asleep!! but they take a while to get used to the feel & finding your natural hair fall cycle for refilling them. I have an after photo... ill see if I can find an ok before :)

I have a lady who owns a Salon Spa n she does mine for $65 full set and $40 for a refill. She is amazing and worth every penny! Of course not every person/place you go to is going to be for sure amazing like mine n apparently like Chez place ;)
but if you find someone who is a master at their craft you won't be disappointed.

That's great price Linda! yea mine were 95, then 15 for refills/week. if that makes sense. I only tried it cos was such reasonable price and she does every single lash aka Hollywood style.

I'm not sure I have any before photos lol. I will check in the morning. But what I would suggest to you is... well I don't know where you live. But how I got introduced to eyelash extentions (cuz I was skeptical yet curious) was that I went to this Spa cuz I had a groupon deal for it and I got waxes n such and I always talked to the girls that worked there n they were always talking about how much they loved their eyelashes extensions that they had n bat their eyelashes at me lol n then I finally after a while I got the guts to do it n now I'm addicted wouldn't have it any other way! :-)

Hi, I'm a cosmetologist and an eyelash extensionist! How 'worth it' the service is really depends on how well you do your homework on the person applying them. They should be trained (usually they'll have a certificated from the brand they use) and have regular customers that you can get opinions from. The process of getting them done can take up to 2 hours and should be 100% pain free- if they say other wise: run. It is very important to make sure that the person applying the extensions has a license, which is very different from a certificate. They need to understand how to be clean, safe, and have an understanding of how their tools react with skin. Don't be bazzled by a low price for this kind of service, you get what you pay for. If they are using sub-par or incorrect adhesives you could literally have an eye removed from a resulting infection or from damage caused by your eye being glued shut.
The beauty world is full of wonderful procedures that can make your life easier and a little more glamorous but the most important thing to remember is to be smart about it. Price is not always an indicator of quality, but it don't let a price determine your fate either.

I pay 40 and I love having them! If I wake up late I still look good! I would recommend getting them. Mine last 3-4 weeks. Make sure you don't go to someone who bunches them which means putting more then one eye lash on at a time.
