GET YOUR LASH ON!

Have You Ever Tried Extended Lashes?
 
So, in the local nail shop this past Friday, I see a sign "Lash Extensions!" Maybe I can afford these? I finally locate the sign through the menagerie of services offered and my heart sinks...$100!

Before
 

BUT, beside the printed price crudely written with a marker it states $35!  So, I ask the girl behind the desk about the lashes, she says she is not sure and that I will have to ask Lynn, the shop owner. Lynn jumps up from her station and exclaims, "You want lashes? Very pretty! You get lashes, yes?" I am like, "Not for a hundred dollars!"  "No, no, she says, You do $35! $35 okay?"  You have got to love this culture's spunk and tenacity!  I am in sales  and I am telling you I could learn a thing or two from these gals. I was not leaving there without the lashes, so here we go!  She leads me into a back room set up for facials, takes off all my eye makeup, and meticulously tapes down my bottom lashes with white tape. 


After WOW WEE!

This is serious! She instructs me to close my eyes and the magic begins!  She is like a surgeon, with a mask covering her face and tools on her table.  Then she carefully begins to place each lash on my eyelid. The process takes several minutes. I ask her about the difference between the $35 lashes and the $100 lashes. Honestly, at this point I think, I must be getting only a few lashes instead of a whole set? The language barrier between us hindered the answer for a few moments, but finally she said "The $100 take whole hour and real hair."  Then added,  "But I don't believe it real!" LMAO!  After several minutes, she let me sit up and look in the hand held mirror. WOW! 

I am impressed! One side is a little short and she finishes with one more and then the other eye. The entire process was probably 30 minutes, maybe? Maybe a little shorter, but wow wee! was I extremely happy!  She said I must be very careful but they are supposed to last about 2 weeks. She instructs me not to wipe them with a wash cloth or wash them under the shower. She told me how to just use a Q-tip to remove the liner I will put on. She told me over and over when I get the eyeliner on it will be perfect. I ask about mascara, "No, no mascara you don't need any," she said. After seeing the final product I understand why. They are amazing. Dark, thick and perfect.

 

Mine are more natural but apparently you can get some super long fantasy type if you prefer. She kept making sure they were exactly what I wanted. The thing I really like is that they draw attention to my eyes, which is my favorite feature, and even without makeup I look good! I am a true southern belle so I never leave the house without my face on, but that's another blog! Although with these...I might, maybe, well with a little concealer, lipstick and blush! LOL
