Be aware there are many places that will charge you a cheap rate.
Don't get suckered in because of inexpensive fees. It's about
education, experience and knowledge. Don't let someone damage your
lashes by clumping them together. Lashes that are glued/clumped
together, fall out together and you end up getting what you didn't want
and that is -- making your natural lashes fall out.
Look
for someone that at least has been trained by an actual trained
extension educator and not by a dvd- though this too won't give you a
guarantee that they're competent.( Look at some error's I had fixed: Examples below)
Look
for someone who won't attach the extensions down to your skin. You
might end up with an allergic reaction. Properly applied lashes won't
touch your skin at all. Make sure they use anti-wrinkle gel patches and
not scotch tape, painters tape or anything tape-like against your skin
(unless it is surgical paper tape) or else it will be painful and go
into your eye or pull out your bottom lashes when removing the tape.
You won't feel it either because your eyeball doesn't have any nerve
endings but your eyes will end up being sore because the tape gets into
your eyeball.
The
reason why extensions are pricey is because it takes education, talent
and experience to do what we do correctly. You wouldn't look for an
inexpensive doctor, would you- that hasn't had hands-on-training or
years of practical experience or successful operations? We use medical
forceps for goodness sakes. There are reasons why some lash
stylists charge less-it's because they're STILL PRACTICING and they may
take hours of your time and still leave you with a incomplete set and
your whole day wasted. Your time is too valuable to me!
Don't waste your time on cheap imitations or you might end up with something like this!
