| - After reading horrifying reviews I became very nervous to book my appointment for my groupon, but I figured I shouldn't let it go to waste. I was nearby on a Tuesday morning and happen to stop in just as they opened to schedule my appointment for a later date. I was offered a same day appointment having as I was the only customer there so early, and I happily accepted. Griselda was to be my cosmetologist which thrilled me seeing that she was the only name I recalled from previous GOOD reviews.
I was ushered back to a very cozy lounge and sat down at one of the recliners. I noticed in a previous review someone noted that there was no privacy... Yet I don't understand that statement. I viewed this experience as something similar to a mani-pedi or possibly getting your hair done, none of which have ever been done in complete privacy, I mean this isn't a Brazilian wax service, THAT I could understand. Anyways, I slid my purse next to my hip as the chair reclined back. I was quite comfortable. Griselda helped me to relax and after turning on her light over my face asked to close my eyes and settle in. She asked me several questions about my preferences and also explained the differences between the types of lashes they offered. After we discussed my options we came to what seemed to be the right choice!
She began working on my lashes, which consisted of some light tugging, but nothing too uncomfortable. After what seemed like a while I actually fell asleep!! After I woke I realized she was on my other eye already haha, but it had felt like I was out for quite a while. At this point I was just hoping I didn't drool or lightly snore as I sometimes do when sleeping flat on my back haha.
I sat still as she finished up and finally she began to slide me back up and handed me a mirror. I was so pleased! They were exactly what I wanted and done so well!! I looked at the clock to see it had been 2 hours but so worth the time. Each and every lash was individually done and looked to be long, full and thick.
I then went to pay and used my groupon to cash out, but not after tipping her $60. All of which she deserved. To think, the price of the lashes I chose were normally $220 or something close to that, and my groupon was valid yet saved me over 50%! Therefore it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when you use discounted pricing, in an industry that relies on appointment based profits you should tip considerably. Basically for her two hours she probably made the $60 I tipped her and not much else. So don't be cheap, or you will receive what you pay for more often than not. It has now been one full week since I had them done and they are still just as full and beautiful.
