Had eyelash extensions done today...

Pics are in my album but are not the best quality. It's hard to take pictures of your own eyes! I'm still getting used to the lashes and not sure how I feel about them yet. The place, Ebenezer Eyelash, was really nice. It's in NYC and a lot cheaper than many of the places I looked into on Long Island. They even massage your legs and arms while you're getting them done!

I get them done alll the time, for weddings, and big events. I have long eyelashes already, and really dont need them, but still get them...they make eyes look amazing! Urs came out great!

extensions are attached to your actual lashes. They are seperate pieces that are attached individually and they use a MUCH MUCH stronger glue for it. The overall effect is that they tend to look more natural and last a lot longer. I think a week or two is norm. The downside is there are many reports of people losing their own real eyelashes when removing them (myself included)

False eyelashes are usually a strip that's adhered to both your lashes and your eyelid skin. It's a more delicate glue... which dries in a more rubbery sense. They wash off easily and are usually used for the day or the night. They don't last days like the extensions would. So they come off easier but the down side is they tend to not look as natural as the extensions!

HTH.

Where do you get them done? Did you ever have anything bad happen from them? How do you remove them? I was told to use anything with oil.. like baby oil etc.

I had an AWFUL experience with them.. and I was soooooooo excited to get them done! I'm scared to do it again... but yet still curious.
