So normally I wear fake eyelashes and i glue them on daily. With my family and I going to Disneyland I didn't want to have to bother with my lashes, nor did I want to carry glue with me. Instead I decided to purchase a piece of mind by getting lash extensions.
Where: Ewa beach. 91-896 Makule Rd, Ste D, Ewa Beach, HI 96706. It is across of Campbell high school, and next to a dog salon.
Time: it took a little over an hour! But they are gluing over 100 lashes, very tedious! this is definitely a job for someone who has patience. I unfortunately have a very low tolerance to patience, if I had to do that, I would probably get really frustrated. The process was long, so I caught myself trying to sleep a few times. They have you lying on I think like a massage table. They put a super soft blanket on it, so it is semi comfortable.
Review: This was my first lash extension appointment, not sure what I was suppose to do, I should have done some homework. I was a walk-in because I couldn't get them on the phone. ( they are pretty busy). Which was okay I understand. What I didn't understand is when you have to choose the lash length. Which numbers length I wanted on my lashes. (I don't know explain them) I told the lady whatever the girls before me had. She ended up showing me the different lashes on a display board. But there wasn't pictures of how it looked on people so I guessed and hoped it would turn out okay. I picked 15c which is a more curly lash with more length. The longest they had was a 20. I almost wanted that but I'm glad I didn't. The lady said she put some 16s as well. And on the inside of my eyes she put 12s. I must say I do like the length.
I think they came out okay. I think they could have been a little better. I did request that I wanted them really full. I don't feel like they are that full. Maybe she thought it was extra full. Also some lashes look out of place. Like I have one lash that's higher and one that is lower than his lash friends.
After I was done with my lashes, the lady didn't give me any instructions to care for them. Can I get them wet? Do I wait 24hrs? Who knows? when my friend got her lashes done, she got a brush for the lashes! I ain't got no brush. I was lucky I had one in my makeup bag.
This is the brush I already had. So I had to look on google for caring for lash extensions. So they do recommend you not getting it wet for 24-48hours. So the glue can fully set. They also recommend you to brush your lashes in the morning and every time they get wet. The excess water on lashes can cause them to droop. So you definitely want to brush off the water. Also they recommend you to not wear oil based makeup because it can affect the glue.
*new tip. I was told by a friend instead of brushing after the shower to blow dry them a little. It also fluffs them up to make them look better
I guess maybe I was difficult to work on. My eyes watered. And I tried to relax but my eyes wouldn't! I felt like the more I though about relaxing I would move. So maybe she was mad at me!
I will be either trying new establishment or another person to do my lashes. Unsure yet tho. Not that I was completely unsatisfied or anything. I just want to see if I like other people's work. Hope this was helpful. Please comment if you have some tips or know a better place to get them done!
