yep, I think it is something that you should only do very occasionally, such as for the Christmas party season, and maybe before holidays in the summer. That is what I am planning to do

I had them done twice. I hated them. They look really good for about a week. When they start to come off they just hang there half glued on. They look ridiculous when you try to get rid of them. Save your money.
does anyone knws anyone good saloons who does lash extension?? but i think im more interested in perming my eyelashes. how much does a perm cost? anyone knows?
I actually JUST looked it up cause Im thinking about getting an eyelash perm next weekend. It can range anywhere from 50-70 bucks and lasts about 3-5 mths, which I think is a hell of a deal!
I do this service in the salon. It takes about 3 hours for a full set (When done properly.) We will regenerate a full set of eyelashes every 90 days or so. Having said that, we will lose our extensions at the same rate that our latural lash sheds. So, they need to be filled every 2-4 weeks...just like getting your nails done. Then one must be careful about the maintainance of their extensions. No Mascara (unless it's water soluble), no oil based makeup removers, no oil based cleansers, no eyelash curlers...etc. I have clients who LOVE them. I personally would recommend them for a special occassion like a cruise, vacation, wedding, somthing of that nature because they are a lot of upkeep. Not to mention.....pricey! A full set is $250 and fills are $100. So if it fits into your budget go for it! I enjoy doing the process because its like a puzzle! And the end result of a set that has been applied properly are breathtaking! They come in a multitude of lenghts and widths as well as colors. The colored ones end up looking like highlights in the sun. If you want to see some great pics go to Eyelash Extensions, Lash Extensions Xtreme Lashes. This is one of the companies that I am certified through. They just put up a huge section for finished results. It's great!
Also, I charge $45 to perm lashes in the salon

In response to the price difference, there are many ways to do a set.
A set that adds body takes about 45 minutes, consists of 15-30extensions per eye and costs about $100.
THen there is a heavier set which would last an hour and a half and be 30-40 extensions per eye and that would cost about 150-200.
Then there's a lush set that would be about 60+lashes on each eye, take about 3 hours to apply and cost $250-300 per set. In my salon a full set also comes with one free fill after two weeks.
^is anyone that is certified by the Xtreme lashes ok to go to? im in NC and there is a couple around me that do it...how should i chose?
Xtreme Lashes has a great certification process. You might also go to someone who is listed on their site. It means they have completed at least 250 full sets. But, also, there are great techs who are not listed there. I am certified through Xtreme but choose not to be listed on their website because I already am booked 4 weeks in advance so I hate to invite any more business as I cannot accomodate it. Just have a consultation with your tech and make sure you feel comfortable with them. If you'd like to contact me directly I'd be happy to tell you what to ask them when you go in for the consultation.

There is one on the market...can't remember the name off hand but it's the lady's name (Come on girls help me out here....) that is supposed to phenominal! Well worth the money! But I have never tried any of them.
I had this done last summer. I wanted fullness. I thought they looked great for the first two weeks, then after that they fell out pretty quick. I thought it was a waste of money. I found when I had them on that it bothered my eyes. I would suggest this for a special occasion but that's it.
I think there are two different ways you can get the extensions done-
either the long process that takes several hours and need s to be filled in or what i got done was at an asian nail salon- they basically glued on false eyelash with super sturdy glue and it lasted about a month or so. i fill them in myself when they fall out, by getting eyelash adhesive and the single lash hairs sold at most drug stores. it only cost about $40 to get it done and took about 20 minutes. i thought it was pretty good and I always get tons of compliments on them. totally worth it.
