Eye lash extensions

Yep, I agree, they are a lot of upkeep.  That is why I only think it is worth it for a good price.  If a 2-3 week lash fill is only $30, it is a similiar price to getting acrylic nail fills every 2 weeks.  Some salons charge soooo much $ that is just becomes so expensive. 

I got a brand new set 2 1/2 weeks ago and I am missing 2 or so lashes on one eye (none missing yet on then other eye) so I am wanting a fill. It just varies so much though, based on where one is on their natural lash shed cycle.  Meaning that is someone is about the shed, they may lose a lash right away if that makes sense. I'll wait a couple more weeks for my fill b/c I wear mascara on the base of them and it helps mask the missing lashes.

I am just as happy not wearing them b/c I love the extra super thick lash mascara look and you can't do that w/ these.  It would just be too much.

edit--ps, my lash person charges $50 for full set, $30 for 3 week fill, $50 for over 3 week fill.

Wow, I could use that.

Don't think it's anywhere here though.

I go in to the shop this afternoon so I can post tonight.  One of the lash gals is working today so I'll be able to ask her.  She has used 2 types.  The latest one she learned of at this years aesthetics show and it is better in that it has no fumes.  She also uses thicker lashes now.  Oh--I just remembered --they are called Lavish Lashes!  Ok, lets see if this web addy leads to them:  www.lavishlashes.com .  If that doesn't work I'll get the web addy from her today.  She uses both the lashes and glue from them now.

cherry coke,

Just saw your question. Yep, they are put on one by one--each lash gets his own extension. 

Long and short can be alternated.  Or, short to med.  The short ones are pretty dang long, though, so I get all shortand sometimes trim the inner corner ones so they angle.

I wonder what type of glue they use.....I've used alot of different eyelashes and glues, but I have heard that there's this "surgical" glue that really keeps them on. Hmmmmmmmm........

One of the stylists at my salon got that done, and it looked great!  She paid $100.

They are a little hard to DIY b/c you really need to keep your eyes closed due to the type of glue they use.  Although there is a glue out now that is pretty fumeless now.

I own a salon where we (well, not me specifically) do a ton of them.  They can last 2 months but after one month you are usually ready for a fill, even if it is just 2 lashes.  They do not come off--they shed w/ one's own lashes.  They look great!  I wear them and love them.

Funny, the gals at my shop (booth renters) decided that $150 - $200, the going rate in my area, was over priced so they started offering them at $50 for a full set and they are SA-WAMPED!

One of them has done her own a couple of times but she said it is a little difficult due to the type of glue they use--but she has done it!
