r/eyelashextensions

I wanna try this type of style but don’t know the name of it an the type of clusters to purchase for it could anyone help?

I visited a salon that was well rated online, and did lash extensions as well as nails, brows, semi-perm makeup and fillers.

I saw they had availability online so went as a walk in and they were happy for me to get them done- £55 full set. The girl doing them seemed slightly inexperienced- had drying acrylic on her nails that smelt bad while doing my set. It took her ages to set up and position stickers around my eyes and didn't understand what I meant by hybrid and insisted I they were spiky lashes that I wanted.

The service itself last around 35 mins max and was fine apart from occasional nipping of my eyes and felt like she plucked out my inner corner lashes. However, when she showed me they looked pretty decent and I booked in for 2 week infill.

This was on the Friday afternoon, she advised not to get wet for 24 hours and I didn't until the Sunday.

On Monday morning, my second end lash seemed clumped and twisted as if it was too heavy for the lash supporting it and it was leaning into and irritating my eye. i brushed it with a spoolie hoping it would help but it didn't. It continued the same for the rest of the day and Tuesday.

On Wednesday morning I woke up and while brushing my teeth two clusters of lashes fell off my left eye and another was half out. Wednesday evening another 3 fell out the right eye.

On the Wednesday evening i went to the salon and asked if i could get lashes repaired as i wasn't happy i had gaps after a few days, and didn't want gaps for another week and a half. The owner advised the lash tech was on holiday and wouldn't be back until the day before my fill and she's moved my appointment to then. I said if this keeps happening by then I'll have no lashes and it's a long while to go around like this. She said the gaps don't look bad and i should brush the other lashes to fan them out. Laughable.

I will attach images of the day of and then now. I am so upset I have spent £55 on them and another £14.50 deposit on infill appointment. She said I won't have to pay the other £14.50 on the day due to the gaps but really I don't want to go back and want another salon to take them off and give me a better fresh set. I'm so upset, and feel so self conscious. I'm also irate at the money spent £70 on this disaster, and mother £75 booking in somewhere for a removal and new set before my holiday abroad.

Any advice, I'd really like at least the refund of the deposit.

After I got them I thought I looked like a clown, I think they seem ok from afar but up close they are so fake looking and don’t match my hair thickness/color. should I get them removed? I have a trip coming up and don’t want to look like a clown. what do you think

Soft volume & wispy
Design: Doll eye

Did this soft volume set for my client today! Wanted a full but super natural look that still keeps her eye shape soft.
How do you guys feel about this level of density? Too subtle, just perfect, or needs more drama? Always love hearing fellow lash artists’ opinions!

Love how this turned out! I used PLA products and lengths 7-14 C curl

I had been going to Enhance Beauty Salon for a while and trusted asmita, but my recent experiences completely changed my opinion. After my honest review, she has had people make fake reviews to drown out my bad review after scratching my face with her bare dirty fingers causing swelling. There are only two workers there Asmita and her employee. I went in for lashes and didn't know the employee didn't actually know how to do them because she lied.
Instead of being honest, she still tried to apply them and ended up spilling glue all over my face and into my hair. When I asked if glue got in my hair, she repeatedly told me "no, it's okay" while scratching glue off my skin, leaving my face red, irritated, and swollen.
I messaged the owner afterward with photos of what happened. She apologized and offered me a free set of lashes but that I MUST BRING MY OWN LASHES ( not worthy enough for a true free set even tho I lost hair and had to be prescribed triamcinolone).
I'm only 18, and honestly I feel like because I'm young, l haven't always known how to speak up for myself when something felt off. Looking back, Asmita had been treating me strangely for a while, but l ignored it because I genuinely liked the way she did my lashes and didn't think it was serious enough to say anything. I kept brushing things off instead of standing up for myself, but now it has reached a completely different point.
Fast forward to two weeks ago: I got another set done. and within FOUR DAYS the were already Fast forward to two weeks ago: I got another set done, and within FOUR DAYS they were already falling off badly. Normally my lashes last at least two weeks. I asked if I could come in for a refill, and she agreed. I ended up coming back TWICE within the same week because the lashes still wouldn't stay on.
While I was sitting in the chair, Asmita asked me,
"You just came yesterday, what happened? Are you picking them off?" That honestly upset me because why would I keep wasting my own gas money and time coming back over and over if I was purposely pulling them out myself?
Meanwhile, the same employee who spilled glue in my hair stood over me the whole time, and the atmosphere made me feel like they were talking about me or acting like I was an inconvenience because their work wasn't lasting. Then, within FIVE HOURS of the refill, the lashes were already peeling off again.
Before I left, Asmita told me, "Next time you come, you pay." The way she said it made me feel like she thought I was trying to scam free services, when in reality I was just trying to get lashes that would actually last and be applied correctly. At this point, it genuinely felt like she intentionally did the refill poorly so she could stop dealing with me and finally say how she really felt.
What bothered me most is that after I left an honest review where I still thanked her for the times she did my lashes well she edited her responses afterward to make herself look professional online, despite how I was actually treated in person.

Eyes are swollen because I cried. First time getting extensions. I was specific with what I wanted. No curl at the end and its “subtle and natural” stops in the middle so it looks like a cats eye. Longest at the end and gradually stops to the middle. She did everything wrong imo. I believe I communicated properly. Well ig not since right after I said wow thanks I love them as an automatic response.

Pics 1-5 is what I got. 6 is literally ME. ME!! I did that with clusters. Yes there is eyeliner but the lash placement is literally different than what she did. I got extensions so I dont have to do it anymore since i hate putting lashes on and that photo is one of the rare times I did. 7 is lash techs job, another inspo. Last pic is our conversation about what I wanted. “Long at the end and NOT curled”

Paid 2 days of wage (not American, purchasing power is weak) was supposed to get a lash perm w tint w the money but my gosh its so bad. I was calm with it initially using the experience as a “lesson” but my hard earned money was used for something so horrible and on my birthday too nonetheless. They make me look so bad and make me look tired. I wanted the cat eye so I can look more awake because of my anatomical eye bags or deep hollows.

I recently applied lash clusters on myself Monday night. Then I started to fill a burning sensation. I wasn’t sure if it was from the glue that I used or the sealant I applied afterwards. So I removed them. The next day, my eyes were burning all day. I rinse my eyes out multiple times with water, but that did not help.

Then comes Wednesday, I woke up in. My vision was very weird. It’s like I see moving static, and everything is swirling around me. I tried not to panic. I use some eye drops I had in my cabinet and some eye antibiotics I got last year, but both did not help.

Fast forward to Friday, I could not take it anymore. It has been affecting my vision and sleep so I went to the ER. They prescribed me a steroid, eye drops and pain medication for my eyes. (I’ve attached a photo of the lash product in medication’s that were prescribed).

Has anyone ever gone through this? I’ve been using this lash glue/seal for the past year and it seemed to never have given me trouble. But my eyeballs feel like they’re on fire, vision was going in and out, blurry, seeing static. And it feels like I have a 10 pound weight on my eyeballs and a headache. I start my medication today, but I’m just trying not to freak out. Will my vision return to normal? Help.

My retention is 4-5 weeks

Update on last post:
The update is that she sent pictures and i will attach them below, swelling appears to be gone and it looks like it is affecting one eye still. I received a message to not use remover as it is a chemical and can irritate allergic reactions even further if thats the case, however any help assessing the problem and cause here is helpful! Thank you!

Post from yesterday :I'm a beginner lash tech and my client told me one of her eyes was swollen and red and in pain. We were going to do a removal and she said it wasn't as swollen and not in pain anymore, but that it was just red now. I don't think this is a case of chemical burn as it didnt affect both eyes, and not a case of the eyepad irritating her eye because her eye was swollen. I think it could of been that the placement of some lashes was touching the skin causing this irritation, but she said she does not want to do the removal right now because she is no longer in pain but will see for the redness. I think the redness is normal in some cases depending on intensity of lash adhesive, however just to be safe a removal might still be necessary. Is It realistic for something like this to happen? If she doesn't get them removed and feels fine, would it be safe to proceed? I offered my biggest apologies as it was a free set, but im not sure if I feel comfortable with the lashes still on her even though she says she does not feel any irritation or pain anymore. Thanks!
