| - I started going here because someone recommended them. I had debated getting lash extensions for four years (not joking....) and finally decided to take the dive! I was so scared what little natural lash I had would be damaged if I went to the wrong person, but I trusted my friend who spoke so highly. She gets the Cleopatra set by a lash artist and looks flawless 24/7... barely ever wears make up and looks totally done up! I chose to go with the "Flirty" set to start with, I wanted to make sure I would like them before I got too wild. I randomly selected Syretta, a lash apprentice, when I booked my appointment online, which was a super easy process. I honestly just picked because she had a date and time I wanted, but then I fell in LOVE with her, but I'll continue that later.
When I arrived to get my first set put on, I was super nervous! I checked in with the receptionists and sat down. There were some refreshments, like water and a keurig. I used the restroom and it was super clean, had hand sanitizers, soaps, lotion and cetaphil. I personally love when I go to a beauty spot and they have options like this! Makes me feel a little more pampered. I also would like to say that I encourage you to use the restroom before your service. Don't even think that you will want to get up in the middle of it.
The room where they do lashes is not what I expected, but better. You walk into a very good sized room that easily fits about 15 large lazy boy type recliners. The lash stylist sits behind the corresponding chair and does your lashes. I expected small, private rooms for some reason but I love the group setting! Both appointments (my first full set and my first fill) my stylist and I sat next to the same stylist and the same customer! We had a great conversation and it was such a nice coincidence. I love the relaxing social atmosphere, but I have also witnessed girls come in and just relax with earbuds, my friend says she falls asleep every time! They also cover you with a super soft light blanket. Awesome because the room does get chilly at times.
Now, I get to talk about the remarkable woman that is my lash artist. She is a rockstar. I cannot believe she is considered an apprentice. If she is an apprentice, the master artist must be Rembrandt himself risen from the grave or something. Seriously. I do not know how it could be better that this. She makes me feel like I am a celebrity. She asks what I want my lashes to look like (fullness in center, cat eye, etc) and length. I went with the longest length with the most lashes concentrated in the center to give my eyes a big round look. I love it! She also encouraged me to book my fills close together in order to gain more lashes, instead of booking another full set appointment when I want to be closer to the fuller sets. I have began to do this and it is working, I definitely feel like I have more after my fill than I did when they first put them on. She is seriously a miracle worker. I am committed to going back to her and can't wait to follow her up as she becomes an artist and master!
I know other people who have gone to other salons and paid way way way more for less quality, or gone super cheap and ended up with bad looking lashes that damage their natural ones. I feel like Cherry is the ideal place because they offer so many price points and their quality is GRADE A. I cannot say enough about this place, I am a Cherry addict!
