This client came to me in July 2022 after paying $200 for a set of extensions that fell out within one week.  I immediately noticed the gaps in her natural lash line and realize that extensions that were too heavy were applied. This resulted in the pulling out of her natural lashes,  To be safe, I did not apply any extensions and put her on a regime of products to strengthen her natural lashes.

​

She returned to me 5 weeks later and you can see the improvement in the bottom photo.  The gaps have begun to fill in and her natural lashes are healthier and thicker in diameter due to a mixture of Keratin and B vitamins for the lashes.  It will still take another 2 months for full recovery but the results are noticable.

Debbie came to me in June 2022 complaining of pain and extensions that were unruly, hard to manage, and needing a fill every 2 weeks.  

i explained that the pain came from so many of her natural lashes being glued together in clumps, which pulls out the natural lash causing gaps and permanent damage over time.

Debbie's lashes are now in great health and she needs a fill once every 3-4 weeks. *an updated photo will be posted next week

Alicia was enticed by a lash extension franchise that opened near her.  She was lured in by the full set price of $99.  Within 5 days all of the extensions had come out... taking most of her natural lashes with them!  On their website it even states that "it is normal for gaps to occur weekly" and they recommend $80-100 fills every 2 weeks to solve this.  My friends, fills will not solve this damage!  It will only make it worse and over time permanent.

Her natural lashes were full and long before this catastrophe.  The damage was so extensive that she had to go 6 months without wearing lashes for them to completely recover.

Lash Franchises are dangerous places to trust your natural lashes with as they are opened and operated by business people -not estheticians or lash technicians that have been well trained.  They typically pay their employees minimum wage + tips and most of their employees have little to no experience.  This particular lash franchise has 2 locations in this area and trains their employees to lash through an online program.  NO ONE can learn to properly lash by watching online videos.  Stay away from lash franchises and do not be tempted by the low cost of the first full set or you risk this kind of damage that can cause permanent damage.

This client had gone to a lash artist that was highly recommended and whose work looked great online.  Take note of the gaps in between the natural lashes where so many of them have been pulled out (not circled) and the glued together clumps that are circled in red.   This is why it is important to educate yourself.  Thankfully one of my clients knew who and was able to let her know this is NOT normal and referred her to me.

This type of application pulls out the natural lash and causes permanent damage that can't be reversed when engaged in for two growths cycles (approximately 6 months).

If you think you may have this kind of damage please contact me for an appointment immediately.
