| - A friend with magnificent lashes told me about Sherene of It Girl Diva and I'm really glad she did. Okay, I wanted a little Oomph for my lashes and was really pretty sick of trying to glue-on those crazy fake ones I buy at MAC. I would never take them off after an evening of festivities and they'd always end up on my forehead or on Hubby ("gasp*).
I will say it takes a LONG time to get this done - about 3 hours for both eyes the first time you go - but you have to understand why. Sherene takes lash by lash and glues them on to your own natural lashes. It may not sound like a lot but to demonstrate, she put 120 lashes on one eye and about 130 lashes on the other. Holy cow, its like surgery! She does not rush the process or you which is really how we'd want it and she loves what she does. I go back every 2-3 weeks or so to get maintenance on them and replace any sparse areas.
After my first appointment, I will admit it took a while to get used to the volume but I found myself even fluttering my new eyelashes to the bag boy at the grocery store. I mean they look so amazing, you don't need mascara at all on the top, only on the bottom ones.
Her place is really cute - a one room office on the lower level of the Satchi Salon. She has great music on and makes sure you're definitely comfy with blankets, etc. If you wear contact lenses like me, you'll want to bring your case and solution because you'll have to pop them out for the process.
If you want gorgeous lashes, I would only go to Sherene. I have read horror stories about other places and I know she does "corrections" for clients that went to somewhere else and had problems. The only gripe I would have is that Sherene can be so detail oriented, she runs late. If that bothers you, just take a deep breath in and remember how stunning your eyes will be after she's done with you.
