Eyelashes!

In my alternative life where I’m a rich goddess woman with hobbies, I get eyelash extensions. IRL, I forgot to put on mascara because I waited until the last second to get out of bed for work and now I’m late.

I wish haha. I would like to know how much it is. Where would you get them done? A salon? I have no idea but would love to do this!

Eyelash extensions? From what I read and reviews on YouTube YouTube , the good ones start from $200-250 and up. When wear eye makeup, you have to remove it very cArefully so that you don’t tug or remove the glue. You have to use water-based eye makeup remover. You have to go back to maintain every few weeks because the falsies are glued on the base of your lashes and your real eyelashes fall off every 5-6 weeks.

Wow, a bit out of my budget Haha but sounds like they are difficult to maintain anyway!

Lash Extensions last 2-3 weeks full set is about $60 or so then fills are $30ish.

Here’s an example of pricing, plus the types. https://www.thehivecorvallis.com/lashextensions

It can get a bit pricey. But mama you deserve it. Don’t go to a happy ail salon place that charges $25. If you want to good job you’re probably gonna have to pee like 50 bucks plus. I decided to go cheap and I didn’t have lashes after. I paid good money $60 and they lasted for 3 weeks and I still had my lashes. What city are u in?

Really? I’m in Seattle and they START around $110 but usually go to $150

Used to get eyelashes extensions when I was single and no baby. Lol it was expensive , I spent 200 for the first set , then touch ups every two weeks 100. I liked the look initially and made a huge difference when I didn’t put make up on. But it hurts like a bitch when you pull on them by accident , crazy expensive and when they fall out your lashes look bald . Lol

I do and LOVE them. Don’t go for the cheapest- go for the best technician. A bad experience can cause your lashes to be uncomfortable and can be unhealthy. Also start slow-go for soft and subtle and build from there.

Also, I agree with what the other commenter said: please do not go to a nail salon. They aren’t usually qualified to apply lashes. There is a safe way to do lash extensions. The extension should never be placed on the eyelid, or too close to skin. It should only be placed on your natural lash. And they should not be stuck together. Each lash should be individually isolated. Natural lashes that are glued together cause damage and discomfort to the client. You should be able to brush through them without tugging or pain. Do your research on the spa or technician before you go. Please don’t go to a nail salon and do not fall for the $45 sets. That is ridiculous. Also, full sets should take about an hour and a half to two hours. And fills take an hour.

I would love to get mine down, if anyone can recomend a place near Howell. NJ

Salon Tatyana in Hillsborough. I got them done for my wedding and loved it so much that I kept it up until the baby. I find it hard to sit still for that long anymore though.

My mother in law gets them all the time it’s a good waste of money lol what we called it but honestly they look so beautiful and so do we so I would do it again for sure 😂😏

I want mine done and can’t wait to be able to afford it! My mom had her nail tech do hers twice(idk why she didn’t learn the first time) and all of hers fell out!

It's not for me but I know alot of people who have them done and to be honest most of them look pretty good. I have naturally long eyelashes so don't need them but if I didn't I would probably consider it.

I used to get mine done and had a great gal back on the east coast which was affordable. If you’re cautious and take good care of them, they can last 4 weeks max in my opinion. Another option is getting a lash tint and lift. This is a bit more natural looking but still noticeable and no mascara required. That lasts around 2 months!

What about a lash enhancer ?

I’ve been getting extensions for the past seven months and I honestly love them!! However it is definitely a luxury. I paid $225 for the initial set and then anywhere from $60-100 depending on how when I go to get fills. I am thinking of stopping but it gives me anxiety and makes me sad but I know in order to save some money I have to revert back to mascara. And obviously give my natural lashes a break!!

I got it done once and it was WORTH IT - lasted two months and there’s some good Groupons just look at reviews first

Been there, done that, won’t do it again. Latisse has become my best friend!! Natural, dark, long lashes that alllllllways look good. Never sparse or spider-y. I think I’m the odd-woman-out here, but I think most of the time lash extensions are incredibly obvious and costume-y.

Omgosh I’d love too but the time commitment to just sit there and get them done😳...the thought almost gives me a anxiety attack lol. It’s sooooooo long and you have to go all the time.

This is why I use lash boost

I do it occasionally just buy the strips for a night out and have someone in the nail salon put them on , the individual ones are too expensive it ranges from 30-200$ no reason to waste cash

omg I used to get my eyelashes professionally done! you guys can check out my eyelash tech, her name is @cateyedi on instagram and she’s amazing! she charges me $130 for a classic set but once I need a refill it goes from 50-60 depending on how many eyelash extensions have fallen out lol I miss getting my eyelashes done!!! ahh! 😭

I use lash boost

Lash Boost is just so much more affordable and it works so well. Not sure why extensions would be better... I don’t have the time!

I just recently got lash boost... have you ever had any experience with your eyes turning red? Am I getting too much of it in my eye maybe?

Erin try cutting back to every other day and see if it helps! Also, make sure to really wipe the excess off of the brush before applying!!

I been getting lash extensions since 2007 on and off mostly on lol it’s addicting u have to make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing and has a good portfolio I wouldn’t let a beginner touch my lashes. Around here it’s like 120-150 for a full set from classic to volume and a fill is 70-80 dollars depending on where u go I go every 2-3 weeks for fills it really helps in the mornings I can do my everyday makeup in ten min tops 🙌🏽 worth every penny to me

I tried lash boost and unfortunately it didn’t work for me so I am going Saturday to get my lashes put back on! I tried lash boost for a year and not a single change

I’m glad you were refunded! That’s the best part of R+F! In my 3 years in the biz I’ve never heard that before. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work for you:(

I actually got my money back twice and I used it just the way you are supposed to use it my mother-in-law used to sell it

I’m live in Sarasota FL and I do mine regularly (every 3-4 weeks), the fills are like $70. I have the best lash artist if anyone e is in the area. I does take time, but I wake up and don’t need mascara or eye liner... saves a lot of time with the make up routine. I’m definitely addicted.

I use eye wonder by monat- I need to be able to rub my eyes lol. I used to get lashes regularly and then when I stopped I had no lashes😼

My lash tech charges $75- $90 for a full set and they last about a month sometimes longer. Definitely worth it! The upkeep is simple just brushing with the lash brush they provide (similar to a mascara brush) & the other tool in between each lash with solution

I took mine off as soon as I found out I was prego. The glue has a lot of harsh chemicals in it. So does lash serums. Unless you use an organic one. Butter me up Organics has a good one. ☺️

Never had my lashes done. And it’s been a long long time since I had my makeup done by a salon

O used to do it in south Florida it was so cheap comparing here in Georgia.I uses to pay 70 for a dull 4D lashes and 25 for a refill.

I use to get extensions and they are cool. You wake up, lashes done! But with kids it’s difficult to maintain for me. It’s about 2 hours for a full set and and 1.5 hours for fills. My lady was $80 for fills and $100 for full set. I pretty much had to go every 2 weeks, which I could never do. So after 2 weeks I was rocking really sparse ugly lashes lol. I couldn’t do it anymore so I just went falsies. I can take them off at night and rub my eyes which is amazing!

The nail salon do them too for like 25$ were I’m at in they do a really good job I get mine done every now in then

What location do you go

I get them done only for occasions and depends where you go . Do your research as far as places and their prices

Yep and been doing it for 10 years- way before the hype. I don’t wear makeup- just lashes and a tan- it’s worth it.

I use vegan growth secrum Better for long term. Results

I stopped getting them re-done during COVID but before that Amazing Lash Studio has an amazing month to month plan and they do an amazing job!! They lasted me long too.

Look into Lashify. Add the group Lashify Life on Facebook, regular girls and mom like us post their lash maps and they’re soooo cute and last a little while.

I think they are beautiful but can be very expensive depending on who you go to. Personally I’ve had my own lashes fall out with the extensions because they are glued in. I stick to moxie the magnetic lash.

The fake lashes ruined my regular lashes. Now I am in the process of using latisse to grow them back. I’d recommend just getting a perm on your natural lashes

I started doing lashes if anybody is interested. For the holidays and until end of year I'm doing any lash set for $60. 💕💯👑

Eyelash extensions are worth it

I need mine done!!! I love them so much

I am a certified lash tech & do my own, which I do not recommend to anyone 😂😂. But my prices are $80 for a classic full set, $90 for a hybrid full set & $100 for a volume full set! Fill ins are half of each price! I’ve seen some places charge 300-500 for a full set 🙃🙃 which is crazy to me
