| - Let me just say, these lashes are fabulous! This was my first experience getting extensions - of any kind - and though I'm no expert, I think Carmen did a beautiful job (awkward eye photos coming your way!)
The appointment lasted about an hour, maybe an hour-fifteen minutes. I think I actually fell asleep midway because it didn't seem that long time-wise. She started by cleaning my natural lashes (oh yeah, don't wear eye makeup!), then applied these weird sticky things under my eye, covering my bottom lashes. From there, I don't really know what happened.. haha.. glue, and lashes, I'd imagine. Magic, obviously. She has a multitude of lengths, and knows her stuff. I wanted a more natural look, and a more natural look is what I got. Apparently they last for 3-4 weeks, and you don't use any mascara or anything on them. Just brush (it's a brush she'll give you) and go! VoilĂ !
Now, a note about the ambiance .. Unusual. Carmen's office is actually in the back of a gym? I didn't really look around much, just was ushered back to her office once I found the place - (10 minutes late, and she sweet and understanding of my delay). Her little office is nice, plus your eyes are closed the whole time.. I would say, visit Carmen if you're looking for killer lashes, and steer clear if you're looking for the glitz and glam you might expect in a more typical spa setting.
