Is the price really worth it?
When I first looked in the mirror I thougth ' Hmm, looks OK...'. You might not be able to tell in the picture but the lashes were applied kind of sparingly, so I had these long ones sticking out of my natural lashes, instead of it looking like I had super-long-thick lashes. But what really annoyed me, was the fact that my 'permanent' lashes didn't last nearly as long as I was told. They lasted me three days!!!!How could that be???I did everything according to the rules for the first 48 hours, you now, not getting them wet etc. I cant believe I paid $110 for that.....
So, quite a while ago, I stumbled across Xtreme Lashes Website:
www.extremelashes.com/CR_eyelash_extensions_pictures.axp
I've always thought that thick, long, beautiful lashes just make such a difference to the way you look, so when i checked out some of the Before and After pictures, (seriously, look at the link!) I had to have them!!!
After searching for a salon that does lash extensions, and finding hardly any, I came to one conclusion: New Zealand is a hole !
So, I chose one of the salon closest to me (like i had that much choice lol). There is one in salon in Auckland which looked really good, they specialise in eyelash extensions, but they are quite expensive. Here is the link:

When I turned up for my appointment, the lady asked me how I would like my lashes to look. I told her, that I would like them to be quite a bit longer and thicker but more on the natural side (I didn't want to look like I had paintbrushes growing out of my eyes!)
After hardly daring to breathe for more than one and a half hours, this is what I got:

Or did they use a bad brand of lash extensions? They were using Marvelash, which I have never heard of, but that doesn't mean it is bad...
If you have any ideas, or have had a similar experience please comment! Just in comparison, here is a picture of my natural lashes (I'm wearing mascara):
Thanks for reading, and please comment :>)
Your lashes shouldn't look like that (bad frame design) and should certainly last longer than 3 days. They should fall out only when the lash they are attached to grows out (not without the natural lash).
ReplyDeleteCheck out the last section on this link for Xtreme Lashes Stylists in New Zealand. If you can't find one near you, contact their customer service and ask if they can recommend a closer one that is trained but not listed on the Directory. http://www.xtremelashes.com.au/stylist.php
Latisse, I am the owner of Cerise, and I guess you came visit when I was overseas and one of my staff at the time saw you. However, we don't have a price of $110, it is either $90 with a Level 1 stylist or $120 with a Level 2 stylist. For that price range, it would be a partial set of 30 lashes per eye. We recommend a minimum of 50 lashes for a natural everyday look. Also we carry our own brand Celebrity lash and we never used Marvelash. Could you please email me elisia@cerise.co.nz as I was not aware of the situation until I read your blog. Kind regards, Elisia
