michelley22 the lashes are applied to a natural lash so if she has gaps in her natural lashes or they grow a certain way then the extensions will do the same
@@Beautyandblingbabe that's not true, the lash technician needs to bridge the lashes to cover any gaps. If they can't do this to remove gaps then they should not be lashing!
I wish she'd have given an honest assessment based upon the finished product. The left eye has an extremely noticeable gap. The lash pattern didn't look natural. She looked like she had a lash job done. The point is for your lash extensions to look like they're yours. For the price range of $130-$300, you as a customer should expect flawless results. Not only were the extensions not flawless they end result was subpar. If I'd paid $25 for the results she wound up with, I would have at least asked for the gap to be filled in prior to leaving.
Just J I agree. The results weren’t that impressive... however, looking natural is not always the goal. Most women where I live get the super glam version. Really thick & really long. Doesn’t look natural at all lol.
I dont think she was going natural. A lot of SE asians wear lashes cuz it makes our eyes look bigger, and usually they're pretty big. They're not meant to look natural.
🤔 She said the gap happened over a 2 week period; she didn't leave the salon with a gap. They look appropriate for the stage, but up close they look...not flattering. But I hope she enjoyed them.
I feel that people who have got nice extensions before wouldn't agree that this was worth $200. The end result may have been what Stacey (the girl) wanted to achieve, but it did not suit her eye and face shape in a natural way, and I believe it is the technician's job to talk first-time clients out of their unrealistic expectations of the result.
Also, she mentioned about the burning sensation after opening her eyes, which is another sign that the technician did not dry the adhesive fully before letting her open her eyes. By all means this won't be a successful marketing towards people who have got better experiences before.
My lash technician can do better lash for her. Asian eyes, monolid, we don’t do well with cat eye style. Anyway it’s only usd 40 up to usd 60 here in Jakarta, at home service. Lately I do it once a month, very common, almost everyone do it.
@@biancam.3555 Where in the world can you get them done for $30? Is it professional? That seems so crazy cheap, but I mean if they look good I'm not mad at it.
I know a girl who has eyelashes like that without mascara but her lashes are blonde. still, people with long eyelashes exist. you just arent one of them.
yeah, so many women I see have eyelash extensions that look very unnatural and droopy to me, it gives them a particular look and people who get these, especially those who get "volume" lashes all look the same to me - but that's just my own opinion and I'm sure these women like the look.
@@heyyomary yes, a particular look. I had some for 3 days and got them removed. Mine were not volume, but too long and I hated having that particular look. I felt embarrassed honestly. I think technicians need to think about your specific eye shape and size. Shorter might have worked for both of us smh. I wasted $175 & my time. I felt so relieved when they removed them (product to remove stings!)
you don’t use mascara with eyelash extensions, it ruins your extensions and makes it hard to get lash fills because you can’t get all the mascara residue off and the extension sticks to the mascara instead of your actual lash causing them to come off once the mascara residue washes off. Also avoid and oils near your eyes and watch out for makeup with oils in it. It’s natural to have fallout your lashes go through a growing cycle every month. You just notice how many more lashes your actually out growing because a 15mm lash is glued to it
AngelOne11 I love Lancôme mascara and primer but when you have extensions you can't use mascara on the extensions as the oil in the mascara causes them to fall out quickly.
Christy Sanchez go on Instagram and hashtag your city name with the word lashes and find a cheaper artist! Example for the city Houston #houstonlashes you’ll find someone
Taylor Joseph I don’t live in a big city like Houston tho, I live in corpus, it’s a small coastal town:( I’ll try your tip but I can’t find any under $180
I got lash extensions for the first time a couple weeks ago and I am obsessed. No more strip eyelashes for me. The best part about it is while the technician puts in the lashes you can nap. It’s a two hour process might as well. Only downside is you’ll most likely wake up with numb buttcheeks.
They grow back. Eyelashes fallout and grow back throughout your life. Why the mom would do that to her baby 🤷🏻♀️ I know that some ppl are self conscious of their eyes though. To push that onto your baby is just super sad. It’s like women that bleach their babies skin because statistics show that with lighter skin tone they will have a better chance at getting a good job. Not here in America idk, what the stats here are. So, that’s the only thing I can think of, maybe something like that 🤷🏻♀️
Once again Refinery29- the sound effects are TOO MUCH. They sound fake, getting eyelash extensions would not sound like this ever, even with a mic next to your eye. No one’s eyes make that much of a whooshing sound when they close 🙄 this is a well shot and informative series but the sound effects take it from a 10 to a 6 in my opinion...
I love how the lash technician herself doesn’t wear lash extensions. She probably knows that the upkeep and maintenance is not worth the cost. (Spoken from someone who used to wear lash extensions all the time.)
🤔 I thought the point of lash extensions was to *avoid* the *upkeep and maintenance* of regular glue on lashes. After spending mega $$$$$ for 2+ hours of having individual lashes adhered to your own what the hell else do you need to do??? 🤯 I can see why you gave it up!
I had lashes done for the first time two months ago. I’ve lost a natural lash with every single extension applied without fail, anyone who tells you this isn’t damaging is lying to you😊
hey! i’m a lash tech and it is normal for your natural lashes to come off with the extension. your lashes naturally shed off just like your head hairs, and the fake lash attached to it just means it was good retention 😊😊
Thank god I'm researching. I'm tired of having to wear mascara for my eyelashes to look full and long, but I'll continue with mascara since extensions make them fall out. I need to keep the ones I have, I can't afford to lose them
Lashes shouldn't be tugging or pulling as long as they are applied properly. Could your lash tech have possibly put too much adhesive or not isolated your lashes well enough before placing the lashes on? Also, you should be washing your lashes every day, especially if you are wearing makeup! You can literally grow bacteria/parasites on your eyes from not cleansing them properly! Your tech should be educating you on lash health and how to keep the fuller longer without damaging your natural lashes! :)
what do you use to clean the lashes? my tech told me I could use my regular facial wash but I'm afraid it would ruin the extensions (although not the real lashes)
Katherine P I’m an eyelash technician and at my salon we usually recommend to our clients to use an eyelash shampoo which should be avaliable at salons or you may be able to get it online
Liliann31 I am half Italian and half Russian, in Italy its not common and we pay between 90 to 120 euro. In Russia in Moscow I pay 50€ by the Russian beautician champion in eyelash extension
And I hope everyone who’s saying they are getting their lashes done for $25 -$50 are tipping their lash artist good, this is how they pay their bills! treat your artist good y’all! Especially if they are giving you amazing lashes for that low of a price
Aren’t these eyelash extension clusters? Usually I see those run for 40-50 dollars but the actually individual eyelash extensions are around 200 or more. Am I wrong??
Besides all the current beauty trends like fillers, Botox etc I can totally understand why people get lash extensions. When done well they look so good
the first 25 seconds just feels like contradictory bs... yes there's definitely more than 1 type of beauty, the typical standard is having full lashes so why not stick to what you were born with and embrace that type of beauty you already own? It's dumb to just crawl on over to the conventional beauty standards when you're apparently preaching for diverse beauty.
I hate it when beauty altering practices try to seem all woke. I liked the girl reason "she likes the look of longer, fuller lashes and wants them to be more permanent". There that's it, no need to pretend like their actually doing something inspirational or groundbreaking .
Those are not clusters. Those are Russian volume lashes, fans made from scratch. You can clearly see on the video she is making the fans. Clusters are lashes knotted together at the bottom, with a very wide and thick base.
I'm getting eyelash extensions this Monday and I'm so excited to get them because I won't have to wear mascara! The cost is $125.00 at a very reputable salon. They also do microblading for $250.00 which is half as much as other salons.
I wish you would have included more details like how long did they last, did you do touch ups, how much was the overall monthly cost? Not enough info :(
I have always been curious about this and I have wanted to try it for so long!! I am so happy that you made a video on this. I love Refinery29 so much 💛💛
To everyone saying the sound effects don't work - ya'll are dumb. The shots are MACRO shots, so the editor is adding MACRO sounds. It just brings the whole watching experience up a notch to something more detailed and deep - a different way to view the world. Quite frankly, as someone who loves cinematography, this is a nice example of out of the box editing and creativity. I think it all works perfectly and makes you get lost in this relaxing, zen moment of getting one's lashes done. (Irrespective of how you feel about the price tag, the final look, whatever.) Also, the series is called 'MACRO Beauty' - hence MACRO shots & sounds. Duh.
I can’t stress enough that you don’t remove these yourself! Been there done that and had no eyelashes for weeks! I do love the look when they are done and I have had them in a few times. But I found them irritating (hence one time removing them myself...) after a while. They can get tangled with each other and then pull on your own lashes. Also sometimes the glue flakes as it loosens after a week or so and that gets in your eyes. If you do wear them long term you should give your lashes a break once and a while otherwise your lashes can be damaged and not grow back well. I do love the look though!
you should brush your eyelashes everyday when you wake up and before you got to bed. Also the glue shouldn't fall off at all, the professional who did your extension probably is not doing their job right.
If they pull, your lash artist probably glued 2 natural lashes to one extension. Your glue shouldn’t flake, they might have used cheap or old glue. Brushing your lashes is a must, at least 2x a day
Swiping your fan is detrimental to lash retention. You are essentially wiping off the adhesive before it’s even on the natural lash. It also means that the cyanoacrylate is curing before it has been wrapped around the natural lash. If you have too much glue on the fan you can simply dip it back into the glue and pull it out slowly or just toss that fan xox
The look of eyelash extensions are so beautiful but I had the worst experience with it. I got mine done for the first time at a popular lash extension shop and the price is about $120. While the lady was working on me, I constanly felt uncomfortable and I had let her know that it felt like onions were in my eyes. She said maybe it's the placement of the tape but I knew it was the glue getting into my eyes. I left with a feeling that something bad is going to happen and the same night, I had the worst chemical burn side effects. I went back the next morning, got the lashes removed and went straight to my optometrist. Luckily, my eyes got better after 3 nights but I was so worried about my eye-health.
I see what the editor is doing with the sound effects, my suggestion is add more reverb and distance the sound in the background rather than being so up front and obvious. Itll be more relaxed.
I got my first eyelash extensions done in Cancun at Bollywood in Plaza Las Americas. They did a wonderful job! I spent about $75 usd. That included eyebrow and upper lip threading with a mascara that they had for the lashes.
Eyelash extension has been the craze in my town lately. Lash specialists spring up out of nowhere. I like how they look but I'm afraid that I'll be dependant on them. People say eyelash extensions - like hair extensions - will cause your natural lashes to fall out.. I think I'll just keep using my Essence mascara.. 😐
your lashes naturally fall off, if you go to a trained professional that uses high quality glue and lashes and you take good care of your extensions (not putting mascara over them, brushing them twice a day and having them touched up after 3-4 weeks) you should be fine.
I’ve had lash extensions for 2-3 years now, on and off. And I looove them. You wake up feeling like a goddess. My natural lashes haven’t affected negatively at all
If you are in the UK, lashes should range from £40-£60 for individual lash extensions. The ones shown in this video are cluster lashes, and will damage your own lashes if you get this type done. Always do your research and look for experienced lash technicians for affordable prices.
I go to a cosmetology school here in Texas and those lashes being used we call them “eyelash tabbing” and they go for $16, and even though it’s a school, the girls here do an amazing job n it lasts weeks for the clients that they always come back. also, the single lashes, for us atleast, are called “eyelash extensions”
As someone who's never tried this, I'm confused by the fact that you either have to have them *professionally* removed or after a few weeks they just start falling out? 🤔 And why didn't the *technician* address the *burning* sensation??? Based on this video I'll pass on the lashes, thanks for the info!
The burning is the glue still wet (it absorbs moisture and makes the eyes sting) - that being said the technician did a fairly poor job and should have "puffed" the lashes with air to prevent the burning
Fatma Atma mmmm I’ve had lash extensions on and off for about 3 years now. When all the extensions fall off, my natural lashes are still strong. If done correctly you should have no issues with lash extensions
doesn't really suit her :( as a fellow asian, this is why it is difficult to use standard american falsies -- makes my eyes look droopy. I go to a person and she gives me an option of the length of the lashes as well as the angle of the curl. And THAT ladies and gent really looked natural.
How do they do lash extensions on lashes that point down? Would they need to perm them to curl upwards? I honestly wouldn’t get them because of the maintainable but I’m genuinely curious since mine point straight down lol
The gaps are there for a reason, it’s to look “natural” since it’s not a glamour lash extension and it should not fill all the gaps, even your natural eyelashes have gaps too.
i’m apparently in the minority of those who love the sounds during closeups 😂 my favorites though are the sounds during piercing videos, which everyone else seems to hate
Could’ve been so much better for $200. It’s a little clumpy on the left eye end. Btw that’s what we normally pay for extensions here in Aus so I don’t think a whole video on it was necessary. But anyway good effort.
I recently went in for lash extensions and they did burn/tingle when I was getting them done. Later that night, my eyes were burning, itching, and getting swollen. The technician advised me that I was having an allergic reaction. Ever since then i’ve been too scared to go back. :(
Jennifer Aguirre most likely you were allergic to the glue she was using it’s really common, just ask what type of glue she uses so you know to avoid it and find someone who uses a different glue or see if your lash technician has another glue to use on you

Her left eyelash extensions looked horrible. There was a huge gap and the lashes just looked wonky like they were bent the wrong way.

I can’t stress enough that you don’t remove these yourself! Been there done that and had no eyelashes for weeks! I do love the look when they are done and I have had them in a few times. But I found them irritating (hence one time removing them myself...) after a while. They can get tangled with each other and then pull on your own lashes. Also sometimes the glue flakes as it loosens after a week or so and that gets in your eyes. If you do wear them long term you should give your lashes a break once and a while otherwise your lashes can be damaged and not grow back well. I do love the look though!
+ksaraw Thanks for the advice!!
you should brush your eyelashes everyday when you wake up and before you got to bed. Also the glue shouldn't fall off at all, the professional who did your extension probably is not doing their job right.
If they pull, your lash artist probably glued 2 natural lashes to one extension. Your glue shouldn’t flake, they might have used cheap or old glue. Brushing your lashes is a must, at least 2x a day
None of that should be happening. You can remove them yourself by steaming your face to loosen the glue and using olive oil. They slide right off.
Swiping your fan is detrimental to lash retention. You are essentially wiping off the adhesive before it’s even on the natural lash. It also means that the cyanoacrylate is curing before it has been wrapped around the natural lash. If you have too much glue on the fan you can simply dip it back into the glue and pull it out slowly or just toss that fan xox
I’ve always been curious about this and it’s actually very helpful seeing the procedure close up! And as always I’m loving the sound effects!
+victoriagrant Thanks for hanging out!! :)
it just made her eyes pop...she is so pretty and this just gave sm more pop to her eyes...
not worth $200, you can get that classic lash extensions for $50
I was excited to watch this until I realized it was the asmr editing again... I left right away. Its so unessessary. Its much better without it.
Her lashes look so good !! 💛
+allthingsjuana We think so, too!!
The look of eyelash extensions are so beautiful but I had the worst experience with it. I got mine done for the first time at a popular lash extension shop and the price is about $120. While the lady was working on me, I constanly felt uncomfortable and I had let her know that it felt like onions were in my eyes. She said maybe it's the placement of the tape but I knew it was the glue getting into my eyes. I left with a feeling that something bad is going to happen and the same night, I had the worst chemical burn side effects. I went back the next morning, got the lashes removed and went straight to my optometrist. Luckily, my eyes got better after 3 nights but I was so worried about my eye-health.
My eyelash extensions usually cost from $65-$130 depending on how I want them !!
These eyelash extensions are quite popular in Russian. It costs so much less here. I do it every month and I love the result😉
+yanalennon Thanks for sharing!!
I love the content but the ASMR is unbearable for me sadly so reading the captions is the way to go 😅
After watching refinery beauty surgery videos, i thank god for making me beautiful within and on many aspects!...Thanks my lord 🙏
I see what the editor is doing with the sound effects, my suggestion is add more reverb and distance the sound in the background rather than being so up front and obvious. Itll be more relaxed.
depends on you but my mom actually trimmed my lashes every full moon and now i have long lashes and i also use castor oil to make it look more longer
Was it a MUST for the “Professional Lady “ to have those Huge nails while performing on a clients eye ...? Non Hygienic 😩
I got my first eyelash extensions done in Cancun at Bollywood in Plaza Las Americas. They did a wonderful job! I spent about $75 usd. That included eyebrow and upper lip threading with a mascara that they had for the lashes.
Her eyelashes looks good.
I think they look great! $200 is about the going rate in Philly as well
Her lashes look so good!!!!
Holy cow!! These extensions look GREAT!!! And I love the upclose view
Eyelash extension has been the craze in my town lately. Lash specialists spring up out of nowhere. I like how they look but I'm afraid that I'll be dependant on them. People say eyelash extensions - like hair extensions - will cause your natural lashes to fall out.. I think I'll just keep using my Essence mascara.. 😐
your lashes naturally fall off, if you go to a trained professional that uses high quality glue and lashes and you take good care of your extensions (not putting mascara over them, brushing them twice a day and having them touched up after 3-4 weeks) you should be fine.
I’ve had lash extensions for 2-3 years now, on and off. And I looove them. You wake up feeling like a goddess. My natural lashes haven’t affected negatively at all
they’re so beautiful!!
If you are in the UK, lashes should range from £40-£60 for individual lash extensions. The ones shown in this video are cluster lashes, and will damage your own lashes if you get this type done. Always do your research and look for experienced lash technicians for affordable prices.
I go to a cosmetology school here in Texas and those lashes being used we call them “eyelash tabbing” and they go for $16, and even though it’s a school, the girls here do an amazing job n it lasts weeks for the clients that they always come back. also, the single lashes, for us atleast, are called “eyelash extensions”
The application process was very dramatic with the sound effects 😂
Omg my mum did that too but when I was 6 and I almost flinched. Lucky my aunt was there to tell her to stop before I lost an eye 😅😅
I loved the result!! Like she's still pretty but it gives her an interesting look if that makes sense? Good for her
Wow I'm impressed with the technician that takes a lot of concentration and attention to detail.
Refinery29 should make asmr videos
As someone who's never tried this, I'm confused by the fact that you either have to have them *professionally* removed or after a few weeks they just start falling out? 🤔 And why didn't the *technician* address the *burning* sensation??? Based on this video I'll pass on the lashes, thanks for the info!
The burning is the glue still wet (it absorbs moisture and makes the eyes sting) - that being said the technician did a fairly poor job and should have "puffed" the lashes with air to prevent the burning
I’m a pro lash stylist, love the video!! ☺️
The result of the eyelash extension, worth every penny
This weakens eyelashes. Its ot good n the long run.Castor oil works to grow lashes long.
Fatma Atma mmmm I’ve had lash extensions on and off for about 3 years now. When all the extensions fall off, my natural lashes are still strong. If done correctly you should have no issues with lash extensions
Ya castor oil works wonders! If not like these false lashes, but u can strengthen and thicken Ur own lashes.
Malathi R I had them done a while back but it made my lashes weak and sparse. Im in the process of growing them back in.
Darlene E I believe it was not done right as mine became sparse. Im too scared to try again
Fatma Atma where can I buy castor oil and how do you apply it?? :D I’d love to try to grow out my lashes without getting lash extensions
In michigan these cost under 100$ usually in between 35$ (holiday specials) to 80$
doesn't really suit her :( as a fellow asian, this is why it is difficult to use standard american falsies -- makes my eyes look droopy. I go to a person and she gives me an option of the length of the lashes as well as the angle of the curl. And THAT ladies and gent really looked natural.
I agreed she got monolids not suitable for cateye look for that price they shuld do better
Those sound effects are making me sleepy, yet it's so satisfying to hear them
Them: "you should never hear any loud snapping or tugging noises"
R29: *Adds snapping and tugging sound effects*
hahahaha so true
Omg why is this so relaxing!!
5:15 ❤️👁
How do they do lash extensions on lashes that point down? Would they need to perm them to curl upwards? I honestly wouldn’t get them because of the maintainable but I’m genuinely curious since mine point straight down lol
But her left eye is wonky..spot some funky gaps here and there.
The gaps are there for a reason, it’s to look “natural” since it’s not a glamour lash extension and it should not fill all the gaps, even your natural eyelashes have gaps too.
i LOVED the sound effects!
i’m apparently in the minority of those who love the sounds during closeups 😂
my favorites though are the sounds during piercing videos, which everyone else seems to hate
She did looks happy with them!
It’s just getting eyelash extensions, they made this so dramatic😂😂
They are beautiful! And so are you hon!
“They look so natural”
No girl they definitely not
Beautiful...great work. Totally natural. Your eyes looks bigger!
the whole comment section hates the sound effects get rid of them
You guys forever be with the sound effects
Could’ve been so much better for $200. It’s a little clumpy on the left eye end. Btw that’s what we normally pay for extensions here in Aus so I don’t think a whole video on it was necessary. But anyway good effort.
This is actually such a cool concept :)
+sheeriobear Glad you like!!
It looks too heavy on you.
The new trend is Gel lashes which it uses protein to strength your lashes and uplift it.
I recently went in for lash extensions and they did burn/tingle when I was getting them done. Later that night, my eyes were burning, itching, and getting swollen. The technician advised me that I was having an allergic reaction. Ever since then i’ve been too scared to go back. :(
Gabriella Sarai that happened to me but I was fine the next day
Jennifer Aguirre most likely you were allergic to the glue she was using it’s really common, just ask what type of glue she uses so you know to avoid it and find someone who uses a different glue or see if your lash technician has another glue to use on you
