I went in on a Friday had my lashes done by Winnie. I have gotten my lashes done before at a different place and had a pleasant experience but I thought I'd give this place a try since I found a Groupon, why not? This place has awesome reviews and is not too far from my house.
It was super easy to make an appointment and they did not require a credit card. I was asked what length I wanted and how much of a curl I wanted, they had this board where you can visually see the extensions offered, makes it a lot easier to choose. I sat down on the comfortable recliner, so far so good. As she started to work on my lashes, first thing I noticed was that she didn't wipe them down to clean them prior to applying. Second, I noticed that she wasn't fanning out and brushing the lashes in between applications. That should have already been a red flag. Once she was done, there was a stinging sensation on both my eyelids on the outer ends. I went to the restroom and to check them out, noticed that there was some glue residue but other than that, they looked amazing! I loved them! I assumed that the stinging was just from the glue fumes.
Later that day, I noticed that the stinging sensation did not go away, I was worried that they applied the lashes too close to my eyelid that it was poking every time I blinked or closed my eyes. After a day, they have started to slightly swell up. I called them and they said that I might be allergic to the glue and that they were certain that it is not because of the way it was applied. They offered to fix it by using a different type of glue.
I decided to opt for a different place to have it fixed because I'm stubborn. The nice lady that rescued my lashes told me that there were actually some 2-3 eyelash hairs attached to a single extension, reason why I felt pulling and that it was making me uncomfortable. If had not gone to have them fixed, it might have caused an infection. That being said, I would probably not go back.
