Eyelash Extensions
Ok ladies everywhere I go I see tons of advertisements on eyelash extension and apparently its all the rave in the US now as well.
Does the extensions damage your own eyelashes?? This is my main concern, after you get them will your eyelashes be awful?
How long do they typically last? Is the upkeep hard? How much and where do you go to get super beautiful lashes or is it not worth it?
thanks

Re: Eyelash Extensions
Tried once when I was still at school, was really impressive and attractive after they put the fake lash things on, but after a couple of days, felt a little bit uncomfortable, because it became too long...I'm a very impatient person I know.
It only lasted one month, but it's long enough for me.
Not expensive at all. about 50~100 you can get the beautiful lashes everywhere. Spas, beauty salons...
But personally, I think it's just for parties, not for daily make up. It would be a little weird for a lady to go everywhere with her super long and oversize lashes.

Re: Eyelash Extensions
Yes not only it damages your own eye lashes, but u loose them also. I had once done in a saloon in Lido, it was perfect with american glue: it lasted for two months (didn t go for the refill after 3 weeks because i was abroad). But it was fabulous, it worth trying. One more thing, at the beginning u will feel unconfortable with it. In my opinion asian people have strong hair and resistant eyelashes comparing to others etnicities, that s why u see chinese women wearing them most of the time. The saloon is called NANAN i think,...
PS: hej guys do you know how to remove eyelashes by the way???

Re: Eyelash Extensions
I like the lash extensions, and they're fine for everyday wear. They don't look like the fake ones you buy at a store and wear them for a party one night. The ones here are individually applied, and depending on how well you take care of them, can last up to a few months, give or take a touch-up or two.
You can choose the length and the amount of curl for the extensions. So sometimes, I choose more natural ones, which look grea. Sometimes I'll go dramatic and go for extra long and more curl, although you'll need stronger and longer real lashes to be able to hold them.
To take them off, I think you have to go back to where you had them applied to get them removed. They should have some special solvent to dissolve the glue and not harm your original lashes.

Hey ladies!
So the address is Beizi Wanlu, Hou Xiandai Cheng, 5 hao, A zuo, 207 room, go on Google and you will find the place. You have to make the reservation a day before or earlier. They specialize in eyelash extensions and wedding dresses, and the quality is really high, I think that's the best thing you can get in Beijing. They have a really wide range of length, starting from something about 6 mm, and you can even have your down eyelashes extended, but I personally wouldn't do it. Be careful, 10 mm their length is less then 8 mm European normal length, so if you are not sure about the length just ask for the natural-looking, you will simply get something like mascara efect and the next time you will know for sure what you need. Yesterday I chose 10 mm length, but it just looks like I just wear mascara, so next time I will try 12 mm.
For me eyelash extension problem was really vital, I've been doing it for more then two years at my home country (I'm from Ukraine) and I can't do without them here in China. So I checked the Beijinger on the subject. Someone recommended Nail Plus at Kerry Center, however, guys, just believe me, you don't wanna get your eyelashes there, it really sucks! Formerly I didn't believe those scary stories about reducing number of one's original eyelashes, but the quality there was so damn poor, they just don't care about one-to-one eyelash extension, just put much glue and lots of eyelashes, so you get something like one-day fake eyelashes (in fact, two weeks with losing part of your original ones). So they never fall down uniformly, you have groups of eyelashes pieced all over your eyes, that doesn't look natural, in fact. What is more, that's extra weight on your natural eyelashes, as there 5-6 fake eyelashes for 1-2 natural ones. The price was 400 RMB with a free correction within the month. I had to remove by myself several eyelashes that were left after 2 weeks, should I say that I didn't want to make any free corrections there? So I found a really good place at Da Wang Qiao (Subway Line 1), the price range is 200-800 depending on the type of eyelashes you wanna get. They have a discount system - ask me personally if interested. Though I doubt they speak English, anyway, I'm here till September of the year 2012 so I can help you, that's no problem and no personal interest, don't worry
So good luck, feel free do ask me questions and use my 7% discount card (seriously, no kidding, you will be able to save more then 100 RMB).
