My last and final stop in this event was here at Ooh La Lash, they are specialized on eyelash extensions and eyelash perming. Here I choose Eyelash extension on Diva.
Eyelash extension can help us achieve that woke up like this aura, without even putting on a make-up. Lash Extensions or some may call it ‘lash extenders’ are individual strands of synthetic lashes attached to your natural lashes one by one using special glue. They could be the best gift given to some of us who were not born lucky enough to have long, gorgeous, thick lashes. Since applying false lashes everyday can prove to be a painstaking daily beauty episode (not to mention the messy glue application) opting for a safer, more convenient and more natural looking choice is definitely the wiser move!
On Ooh La Lash, you can choose eyelash length that fits your mood.
I've been on lash extension salons and they only provide couches for their clients, here on Ooh La Lash clients can go sleep to their beds while doing their lashes. Usually this takes about an hour for the whole process.
What preparations do I need to do beforehand?
According to the lash experts at Ooh La Lash, you should:- Make sure to cleanse your eyes and remove any eye makeup or product applied as it may interfere with the adhesives and may cause reaction.
- Make sure you don’t have the following conditions: Conjunctivitis, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Styes, Alopecia, Blepharitis or if you are undergoing chemotherapy.
- You cannot have eyelash extensions if you have had an eye operation/eye surgery within the last 6 months.
- If you have scarring to the eye area, eyelash extension service should be performed 6 months after the scarred area has been healed.
- Contact lenses cannot be worn before and directly after the eyelash extension service.
- If you wear glasses, don’t forget to bring these with you so the lash technician can make sure there is room for your lashes to grow.
Lastly, don’t forget to inform the lash technician if you suffer with claustrophobia or have any neck problems. They are well-trained and capable of answering any concern you may have.You’d be surprised to know that there are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to lash extensions. At Ooh La Lash, you have the freedom to choose your curl, length and thickness. Go for Light and Natural (30-50 lashes) for natural-looking lashes that would go unnoticed, Classic (51-85 lashes) that’s has the perfect length and curl to add oomph to your everyday look, Diva (86-130 lashes) for voluminous lashes with ultimate curl and length that scream va va voom! and Vixen (Unlimited lashes) for long and beaut-full lashes to die for.
Does it hurt?
Based on my experience on other Lash parlor, the glue that they are using does hurt. It makes my eye tear a lot. Here on Ooh La Lash, the glue that they are using is good for sensitive eye. Frankly I didn't expect that there is no foul odor from the glue and it does not sting my eyes.
