i got them done couple months ago at an asian salon.... It looked pretty but i found some "clumps" in some lashes due to the glue, im guessing different places have different quality results. Mine stayed on for about a month, but mainly cuz i kept on pulling them cuz i couldnt stand the "foreign body sensation".... and also they were kinda stiff.... i dont know, i guess its the price to pay for beauty? for those of u who had it done, did u have similar problems? or did the place i went just sucked?=p
 
Hi baby, yeah, I am going to Sydney to perform at the Opera House, so if there is a place really near there, I would go in a SECOND!!! Let me know, PLEASE!!!! ALso, I live in NYC, so if you know of place there, let me know of that as welll!:) THanks sooooo much - I really want to do this!:)
 
I got mine done and they lasted from Mid november to Mid Jan. They were magnificent - everyone commented on my "big eyes" and I didn't have to put any eye make up on at all - no eyeliner, no mascara, nothing! People I didn't know were coming up to me saying I had such nice eyes! I would definitely reccommend them...they really really made my eyes stand out! but they can get annoying towards the 2 month mark when they are going in all kinds of different ways and directions and some are falling out...you can't control them! But definitely good for a social boost!
 
I actually have never heard of it... but I would love to try sometime. I have gotten my eyelashes tinted before, which was amazing. It made my eyelashes dark and I didn't have to wear mascara for about 1 month. But it didn't make them longer and length would be amazing. I'll see if a salon I know does that... I might have to try it out
 
My cousin got the eye lash extension and I got the perm. I used to love the perm but sometimes, it makes you look bright eyed. I guess towards the end of the perm though, my eyelashes were looking crazy. some were more curly than the others and it was just off so I decided not to do them anymore.

My cousin got the eye lash extension. She felt like she couldn't do anything to her lashes (put mascara, curl them, etc) And to get touch ups she said wasn't worth it to her.

Individual eyelashes are glued onto your existing eyelashes. You can choose how full or long you want them, and as your natural eyelashes fall out, the extension attached falls out also. They last up to two months.

I would love to have a set of falsies that could last up to 2 months! The cost puts me off, however. I found a nearby salon that will do it for $100, which surprises me considering it's a nice salon and everyone else is charging around $250. Maybe their pricing list online was outdated.

I have been looking into this. Here it cost $200 I would have to go in every two to three weeks for fill in. She also advised you should not get the lashes wet. I just have not decided to spend the money yet. If I could get it done for $35 I would have tried it by know:love:
 
I got them done last year with my facialist, they were about $50-60. I loved them! My lashes looked lush and I didn't need any mascara. They fell off in a couple months, but I really enjoyed having them. I think I'm going to get them again.
 
I am going to get done in the summer when I'm on holidays - my best friend says I'm nuts as admittedly ('blush', it sounds so conceited, sorry) do have long lashes already but I get so lazy with thge mascara etc. that I thought this might enable to avoild all that hassle. Can't wait!
 
I haven't had them done, but my good friend actually does eyelash extensions and they are soooo naturally looking and last 2 months. Her clients usually go in for touch-ups once a month if they want to keep them all year-long. She charges $110 and if any of you are in the Los Angeles area and are interested, PM me :D
 
does anyone know of a decently priced place in NY?.....i've heard the asian places do a good job but i wouldn't know where to begin looking....plus my korean isn't that great :cry:
 
I've done it at my facialists...her place is in Foster City, she also does massages too! Her name is Linda and her number is 650-574-6002. I think it was about $50-60.

HTH!
 
I had my lashes done about 2 weeks ago. I took them off the same day. I couldn't get use to them not to mention I looked like a drag queen. I think next time I'll try the individual lashes opposed to the flairs.
