A recent trip to Los Angeles lead me to getting my lashes did with some fellow bridesmaids. A friend recommend, Angie; who is super duper adorable and fun-sized.Appointments are required and before booking I was informed she was cash only.
First I was offered complimentary tea or coffee. Being a lash extension virgin, I had tons of questions (What do the tools look like? Will you stab my eye? Will this hurt? Will my real eyelashes fall out?) Angie and I had a good laugh and she eased my anxious mind.
The process is fairly simple and I found it to be very relaxing. Angie lays you down on a comfy massage-like table, covers you in a blanket, while relaxing spa music plays softly in the background. The room is also scented with essential oils like lavender and patchouli.
After asking what kind of look I was going for (uhhhhh???) and her being patient as I googled lash extension styles - this is actually a THING - (I chose a Queen Bee style I saw online for obvious reasons). Angie got to work! She gently applied the eyelash extensions. We had great conversation and as I surrendered to the experience; I got super relaxed almost to the point of sleep! She stated that some ladies do fall into a slumber. Angie has an angel touch!
When we were all done, she made sure I was completely satisfied with my new look. She took time to thoroughly explain how to care for my lashes and sent me on my way with a care card with the tips and tricks.
The appointment ended with tea or coffee, which I got some coffee because I was about tackle that infamous LA traffic and was in a trance-like state.
Definitely an amazing first experience and I highly recommend seeing Angie if you want to look like Beyonce and feel like you have the moves of J. Lo!
