| - I went to Adrienne after months of searching for the right lash technician. I got them done at a salon once (after serious recommendations from friends) for a wedding and they were so bothersome, I actually ended up plucking them off after 3 weeks - which left me lashless and swearing off extensions ever again.
A few months later, I decided I missed the look of extensions and shopped around. The market for lash techs is definitely saturated, almost anyone can get a certification...pretty intimidating stuff. When I found xoxolashes I was immediately impressed. I chose Adrienne because of her background as an optician and the amazing reviews on her site. I figured if anyone knew about lashes it would be someone who has worked with eyes for 10+ years. I have a history of bad eyes, I got lasik surgery, had a disease where I was going blind and I have chronically dry eyes so I am skeptical of having anyone come close to them. Adrienne was very gentle and understanding of this and took great care in making sure I was comfortable.
She truly listened to what I wanted with my lashes. I didn't want a very intense look, and I didn't want them too long. I told her "I want people to look at me and not be sure if I'm wearing false lashes or if I just have really good mascara on" and I got JUST that. It was perfect. I woke up the next day and actually completely forgot I had lash extensions - which is a solid indication of a job well done.
It's been a couple weeks now, and my lashes aren't irritating me, they aren't flailing around, nor are they itchy. I'm glad I gave lash extensions another shot. I get compliments all the time, and getting ready is such a breeze in the mornings (I get to sleep in a little now!)
I definitely recommend xoxolashes to anyone looking to switch technicians, or looking to try extensions for the first time. Its totally painless and so low maintenance compared to applying and removing make up everyday!
