| - Got my first eyelash extensions done here by Keiko herself.
To start, this is run out of a residence which was absolutely fine with me. The place was a bit small but hey, they got the job done.
Customer service was mediocre. To be honest, I was expecting a little more friendliness but good thing my friend was there so I felt less awkward and tried not to pay too much attention to it.
The procedure itself was OKAY. Keiko was very quick. I did wish she would have tell me what she was doing or be more instructive, such as "turn your head, close your eyes, etc." rather than turning my head herself. Maybe it's just me. I also felt very rushed... Keiko was a few minutes late whereas I was 5-10 mins early as they requested. She also didn't know that I was her client. Anyways, it was painless and I fell asleep for a bit during the procedure.
The lashes - I got "natural long" eyelashes in silk. I believe she mixed the 12 and 13? Honestly, I hated them. My friend loved them though but I think I should have been more descriptive with Keiko about what I wanted. The lashes were very dramatic whereas I am a minimalist and simple. The lashes were WAY too long for me. They curved downward and into my eye. Everytime I blinked, it was extremely uncomfortable because it would rub against my eye and my contacts! Or the lashes would twist and turn and poke my eye! I was debating on coming back to take them off! The lashes also made my eyes look veryyyyyyy dopey. I was hoping for the cat eye look to elongate my eyes - instead, my eyes seemed smaller and rounder.
I did my lashes about 8 days ago. A lot of my extensions fell out... They look a lot more natural now which I assume Keiko knew would happen and overloaded me with eyelashes in the beginning. But, I'm a bit concerned because I was under the impression that eyelash extensions could last about 4-5weeks? If this is what it looks like after one week I'm a bit iffy about doing extensions in general.
In general, price is good compared to the competitors. You get what you pay for. Lashes are good but you have to be more descriptive. If I were to get extensions again, I would definitely go back here. Let's just hope they don't hate me after this review :$ :)
