I have been coming here for the past six months with decent results. I started last November 11th with a Groupon. I've had lash extensions before, and these were not the best, but not the worst, and all the girls are nice, so I have been coming back for a fill every three weeks on Wednesdays.
The reason I came on Wednesdays is because the salon did a promotion on Wednesdays (called Wacky Wednesday), where you could get a fill of 75 eyelashes per eye for $75. Coming on Wednesdays saved me about $15 per appointment. I'm down with that.
When I texted to make my next appointmentearlier this month, I was told that the salon was no longer doing the Wednesday deal. My choices were to now pay $90 for the same lash amount for which I had been paying $75, or $99 for the same amount of lashes per eye, plus bottom lid lashes. I have no interest in bottom lashes.
The other option was to beccome a "member" and be able to retain the 75 lashes per eye for $75 price, however, this would require a monthly autodraft from my bank account and a 12-month committment.
My issue with that arrangement is that I am going to be gone the whole summer, so I don't want to spend $225 for a product/service that I don't receive for three months.
I understand that businesses have to take price increases from time to time, but I think that 20%, all at once, with no notice, is a bit excessive.
I found a new place that I think I am going to like better. Had the install done a week ago and I still have not lost one lash in seven days. Their glue must be outstanding. The new place is going to fill me every three weeks, on whatever day I want to come in, for $75 -- just like Ultimate used to do, but I can choose my day now.
Ahhh, much better and closer -- and the adhesive appears to be much stronger.
