I've done this before. Twice actually. I have thin, short, fine Asian lashes and they don't seem to work as well on me as they do on other types of lashes. They're gorgeous for about 1 week, and then after that they start to bend and crinkle in funny ways. So for me, I'd pay $200 for something that would look awesome for only 1 week, and then "just okay/slightly off" for another 10 days before the lashes would start falling off. However, I know that they worked A LOT better on others.!
I had eyelash extensions around the holidays last year. It was nice for a short duration, but I would not do it again. To me, it was not worth the expense or time involved. I really needed to add thickness to my lashes not length so the extensions were disappointing. 
if you guys want longer lashes... PERMANENTLY
try talika lipocils...
i've been using it for about 2 months and am in absolute love!
its great for ppl who want to add volume and length to their lashes (or if a clump of your lashes have fallen off for whatever reason)
i have puny asian lashes also and after talika, they are noticecably longer and more volumous! hehe i can't help staring at them all the time!! its growing my bottom lashes a bit tooo =)
and wen i wear mascara... OMG!! heeheeeheee

I'm getting eyelash extensions done for my wedding. The key, I think, is making sure that the person doing them knows what they are doing. Also, they have to be filled every 4 to 6 weeks
I had them done once, at the beginning of summer, because Aveda was having a special. They looked pretty for the first week, and then they started falling out. In the end, I just ended up removing them myself because they were getting on my nerves so much.
I prefer using the mascara from Bourjoise that has the undercoat and the overcoat--this works just as well for making my lashes look longer.

I've had eyelash extensions done, and please make sure you see that beautian's work in real life before you go! When the lady i normally goes to moved, the new & probably the last beautian for eyelash extension....she puts on so many glue that my eyes were clued together! it's a pain if the beautian does it wrong, the second beautian make it look like hairy spider legs......
But i'd say go for it around the holiday when you will be taking loads of pix. Have fun!

I've got them done too and it was really nice for about 2 weeks. They only last about 1-2 months because that is the life of your eyelashes. You have to get them fill every two weeks if you don't want to look like there is something wrong with your lashes. I would only recommend them if you had a special occasion to go to.
Here's an article published today in the NYTimes about eyelash extensions

I had mine done today 
They look completely incredible. I done alot of research and found somebody that had been doing them a while. I went for the finer, natural ones, mainly no 8s, a few no 10s and then a couple of 12s right in the outer lash. They look AMAZING!!! honestly, I cannot stop looking at them.
I would recommend them to anybody that has a few parties to go to, obviously I cannot tell you yet how long they will last, but I had my eyelashes tinted beforehand so that I will not need mascara, as I think oil based cleansers is what causes them to fall out quickly.
I am v pleased so far
excuse the piccie, it is incredibly difficult to try and take a piccie of your own eyes!! but hopefully you get the idea
ugh, me no likey this close up
my eyes are flashing now

^^^They look really good! I'm doing the extreme eyelash thing, but my eyelashes are growing at a superhumanly rapid rate, I have to get them filled every 2 weeks. January 17th is my last huge party I have to go to and then I'm going to try that Talika lipocils.
