That’s really cheap - I’ve only seen them for $300+ in other places!

i would love to have this since my lashes are barely there. i think it is super expensive in nyc

what’s tabbing? is that just a little bit? i’m so clueless with this stuff.

bloomies in NYC is doing them for around 100$ and necessary essentials (the beauty supply store) does them too, well some of the stores. look for the ones that do threading in the back. I had them done at Pierre Michel for 300$. It takes a good hour. They started coming off almost immediately, and were completely gone by 4 wks. You can get touch ups for $75. A very expensive habit…

BUT it is VERY evident, everyone notices… esp if ur asian and normally dont have lashes at all.
You basically cant wear mascara after this, but u wont need it! Also, as they fall off, they break off the tips of ur lashes, so beware.

Miss Poppy - ryc: I think its just single lash applicators and I’m not really sure how many you would get for that price. I guess it depends on the technician and your eyelash needs.

When I think of eyelash tabbing I think of Shitzu’s eyelashes - sooooo pretty and long!

i had mine done in Dallas for 20 bucks at Artistik Edge. Some fell off in the first week making my eye lashes look heavier on one eye. My husband eventually told me I looked goofy so I took them off. But they looked amazing that day - well worth 20 bucks. I’d love another opportunity to try it!

My sister gets them done out here in California on a regular basis. The girl she gets it done from charges $150 for the first time and then $50 for touch-ups. At first I used to think it was such a waste of money but I remember seeing her one night without them and wondering what was wrong with her eyes… I guess they really do make a difference!

I used them a few times before (the daily ones). I think they do make a difference, but just make sure you get the length that you want. My friend that worked at MAC use to put them on for me. She trimmed it so it won’t look too dramatic and she did a really good job of putting them on. It blended really well and I’ve never had them fall off before. I’ve also heard of ppl loosing some of their real lashes from doing the 2-4 weeks type from a so-called professional. that’s scary, so you might want to stay with the daily one’s just in case.

I had eyelash extensions done in Houston by Crystal at Fancy Girl Hair for a pageant and they looked soooo good.
I had had them done a few times before and they were clumpy, too long, and unnatural looking. So, you get what you pay for and it’s good to do some research on the technicians experience.
She also gave me a discount if I let her use my before and after photos on her website (go look at me http://www.fancygirlhair.com , I’m the only asian).

Not a bad deal and they looked really good. Worth my time, money and happiness.

Do you gals know of any good places to get these done in Los Angeles or San Diego?

Thanks!

I have to tell you that if Lash Tabbing is what I think it is (flares???) it’s ultra bad for your lashes. If you put them in - in a clump- they fall out in a clump. Eyelash extensions however, are a new breed (about 3 yrs old to this country) and when properly applied (emphasis on properly), they are safe and actually help your natural lashes get thicker and longer b/c you’re no longer screwing them up w/eyelash curlers or mascara.

If you find them for 150.00 I would suggest you make sure to ask the extensionist if she’s taken any sort of legitimate certification courses. You can’t learn technique off an ebay DVD. Make sure they isolate one natural lash and only apply one extension to that lash. Make sure they also don’t touch your eyelid’s skin and clog your follicle. Your lash needs to continue it’s natural growth cycle.

If ANY of you have questions, please email me and I’d be very happy to share my knowledge.
