I had eyelash extensions done twice and they were alright even when the extensions were removed. Anyone who underwent weaving here?
I had Jinnylash extensions almost 2 weeks ago as a trial for my wedding in Feb. They looked fab for about a week but are starting to look a bit sparse now! Free refills on Tuesday but I dont think I will be getting them again. Too much of a hassle finding novel ways to wash hair and face. I also think you can get a bit more definition with mascara. Might try the Shu Uemura falsies with mascara next time.
To be honest (not to offend anyone) SIL got it done, looks okay. Kinda plasticy IMHO. Plus when they start to fall off OMG they look a hot mess. She kinda goes into hiding because its so embarrassing. I'd just stick to mascera and if I need to add a bit of oomph for a really special occasion, I'll add on some falsies. They'll never look as bad as when the eyelash extentions are falling off.
Again this is just base on seeing my SIL's eyelash extentions. Haven't really seen anyone else's before.

I had extreme lashes done for about 5 months. They look fantastic, you really do have to get them filled every two weeks though, so when they tell you 4 to 6 weeks, that is not accurate (at least for me or any of my friends who have them). They are quite expensive...over 250 to get them to begin with, and then anywhere from 90 to 200 for fills depending on how many you need. It's not very practical. I absolutely adored the way they looked, but I'd rather spend money elsewhere (like on CL's!!). Also, it's a pain to shower and wash your face, you're always paranoid about touching them or rubbing them, so you have to be really careful. I will do them again for a special event like my wedding, but that's it for me!
Also, make sure you go to someone who is good at it and experienced, and extreme lashes are fantastic.

yes very true about having to go every 2 weeks. my SIL was seeing is she could stretch the time because she was trying to save on $$$ but by the 16th day it was looking bad.
Hmm OK so I only want this look for my wedding.
I would just do a strip of falsies, but they really irritate my eyes.
Do you think lots of individual falsies would be the best way to go?

try it first. you may like it, you may not. shop around to different places. (some p[laces look plasticy) if i was a first timer and went with SIL to get them for my wedding, id be really disappointed in them (hers are not very nice).
I have had them done and they looked great. But, of course, you have to keep going in to have them replaced as they fall out. To me, the cost was prohibitive and the maintenance was just too much. If I were going to a wedding, class reunion, etc., I'd have them done again but I don't want to keep them all the time.
By the way, I got a prescription for Lumigan, which was the active ingredient in Jan Marini, Revitalash, etc., before they had to change the formulas. I add a drop to my Revitalash brush each night and my lashes are growing thicker and longer.

I've been doing this faithfully for about 3 years and LOVE it! I hate wearing make up so every month I go and get clusters put in and they last about 4 weeks! You do have to find someone who has good product and knows what they're doing...
I looked into lash extensions and even had them put on once... I WILL NEVER DO LASH EXTENSIONS AGAIN!! They were crazy expensive, did not last as long as I had hoped and they ended up pulling out what lashes I did have!! I started using Revitalash after extensions messed up my lashes and I am super satisfied now!! people sometimes ask me if I have lash extensions now... I love it.

This is silly....but i've actually considered them and I don't even need them. My friends say I have "freakishly" long eyelashes. But I LOVE my long eyelashes that I want them longer! they already reach to the top of my eyebrows so they wouldn't need much. plus, one set is a tad bit sparse in comparison to the other, so that one might need to be filled out a little
It might also help them stay out of my eyeballs! They always get stuck in my eyes because they are too long. But my friend got them for her and she said it would be a waste of money for me to get them

I've been thinking of trying it for my birthday and I'm also located in Vancouver, BC. Any recommendations? I've been thinking of book an appointment at a place called the Wink Lounge.
