I read the reviews on here after I already purchased the Groupon it made me question if I should even go in or not, spent 30$ for the natural look with the Groupon so I wasn't expecting much.
Most reviews on here said they had a problem with making an appointment, I had absolutely no problem at all. I called they answered right away I told her about the Groupon she took down my information and told me the available days. The morning of I got a text message reminding me which I thought was very nice.
Yes they use scotch tape. It's 10$ extra to use the good stuff for your eyes but I didn't see the big deal with it, she pulled it off fine was nice about it and barely lost any bottom eyelashes. The natural look is suppose to be like "having one coat of mascara on" and that's exactly what it does. If you use a eye lash curler once and add some mascara onto it that's exactly what the natural lash looks like. Which was fine because I wasn't looking for anything too dramatic.
The process of the eyelashes didn't hurt at all, she was very gentle about it and it only took around 45 min. I was very nervous about them falling out easily because of all the reviews. Within a couple hours I believe 2 came out but it was barely noticeable it fell on my cheek.
They say not to wet or use any oil based for 24-48 hours which is very hard when you have to shower, tried my hardest not to get them wet. By the 2nd night they were falling out by like 1 or 2 again barely saw them on my cheek. 3rd night I started using mascara with them to make them stand out more and look fuller. Randomly thru out the nights I saw the eyelashes fall out again though was only 1 or 2 at a time. While showering I did not rub them at all or used any makeup wipes on them.
I'm about a week into it and they all pretty much fell out. I believe it's because i sleep on my stomach but maybe it's the salon, this was my first time but it said they should last 2-4 weeks if properly taken care of and I followed the rules and everything. I wanted them for my vacation and it lasted thru out the whole trip so I'm happy and was only 30$ without the Groupon I believe it's around 140$ which is insane for only lasting a week.
Overall good deal if you go with the Groupon but if you want longer lasting definitely spend a little extra and go somewhere else.
