I'd never thought of getting them before, but when she gets them for me, I immediately think of the benefits. The main one being, one less thing to do when getting ready to go out.
But there are downsides:
- Lying still for over an hour, unable to read, while the lashes are individually attached to each eye.
- And what if I really like them? This could become one more beauty service I need to do regularly (along with hair coloring, manicures, haircuts, and waxing).
It's a dreary day, kind of a snow/rain mix. I'd rather not go out, but I've already re-scheduled twice before and can't do it again.
Red and White Spa is in midtown. I arrive early and they take me right a way.
I am introduced to Tatiana, a sweet girl who will be the one attaching 90 individual eyelashes to each eye. Before we begin, she asks me two questions:
Do I want natural looking or glamorous? Natural.
Do I want a rounded shape, cat-eye, or a combination of the two? Rounded.
And that's it.
I lie down on a table, close my eyes, and listen to some sleep-inducing music. Soon I am in a semi-conscious state, totally losing track of time.
"Do you want to see?" Tatiana asks.
She holds up a mirror and I feel like I've had a surgical brow lift without the surgery. I can see my eyes. I am thrilled with the result.
The only instructions are not to get my lashes wet for the next 24-hours, including no crying. That should be easy (I hope). The hard part will be not sleeping on my stomach.
But for long lashes with zero effort it will certainly be worth trying!
