I am one of those people that see's mascara as necessary on a daily basis and those glue on eyelashes as something to spend an hour applying before going out on the town. So naturally, when I began hearing about these new semi-permanent eyelash extensions it peaked my interest. I did some research online to find out the details like where you can get them, how much they cost, and how much time it takes. I initially hesitated because of the price, then realized that I would often spend more getting my hair done, both the lash extensions and the hair highlights last for about the same amount of time. I also had noticed since I began wearing contact lenses mascara would dry and get caught in my lenses, which if you wear contacts, you know how much that hurts. So I decided to give the lash extensions a try.\r
I set up an appointment at Bella Skin in Newton, I had seen their website among others and thought that having a comprehensive site is important. I was to meet with Ashlee their resident esthetician. Ashlee thouroughly explained the procedure, like how she would apply lashes of different lengths to my own lashed using a black adhesive to give a natural look and reviewed the aftercare instructions. What struck me was how comfortable an environment this was, and how during our hour long session (she is a true pro-when I inquired at another spa they said it would take two hours!) Ashlee was so knowledgeable about skin care and willing to give advice about it. I felt that she truely cared about the outcome of the extensions and my overall experience that day.It has been a week since I got the lash extensions and have to say I am completely sold. No more mascara, no more eyeliner, the black adhesive give the appearence of a thin line of black liner which I absolutely love. The lashes are in great condition and I have not had to take a contact out to clean during the day in a week. This was SO worth it!
Pros: no more mascara, no more eyeliner, beutiful natural look
Cons: that they don't last forever
