I have an eye condition which causes excessive tearing so makeup never lasts. I tried water-proof mascara but it was too harsh on my lashes. As a blue eyed blond, I thought I was stuck with my washed-out look and then a friend recommended I investigate extensions. My first set was with another company but I switched to Ultimate Lash & Brow after reading reviews and I really notice a difference. I've now been to Erica at least five times and every appointment has been prompt and attentive. More importantly, the lashes are terrific. Erica does a more natural look for me and they seem to last longer than my first set with the other company. Even my facialist commented on what a good job Erica did. I still don't wear eye make-up and I've gotten many remarks on how great my eyes look!
