The Lash Aficionado

I’m embarrassed that I praised other eyelash extensions now that I’ve been seeing Patrice. These are so much more light weight and soft and she takes the time to place as many as possible even up to 2 ½ hours for a full set of faux mink. I love that she accepts charitable donations for a discounted fee. Small business owner and very professional. I love the dentist style chair and always nap while she’s doing her thing. Don’t be shy to tell her if you want just an everyday mascara look or something more glamorous. I also sweat hard on them Monday — Friday and they hold like crazy.

Patrice is very professional and really knows what she is doing as she has been at this awhile. She was able to lash my 1 eye that doesn’t have a lot of natural lashes and still make me not look like a cyclops! This is a 1-​person business which I always like to support instead of a big «salon» type. You don’t have as many options for changing appointments as she is very busy but she always goes above and beyond to try to accommodate. I really appreciate her expertise!

I bought a Groupon for a partial set of lashes. I tried to make an appointment with her for over a week (lots of phone and text tag) and then when I finally got her on the phone, she tried to upsell me for a full lash set because she felt that I wouldn’t look good with a partial because my lashes are blonde. She kept telling me that it was my special day (its for my wedding) and that it should look perfect. «Perfect» immediately makes me roll my eyes anyway because it’s bullshit but I told her it didn’t fit in my budget. When I said that, she immediately shuffled me off with other recommendations for cheaper alternatives and told me to get a refund on my Groupon. The only problem is that it has been over a week now so they don’t refund. So I’m out $ 40 and I’m so not impressed. If blondes truly shouldn’t get a partial set done, it should have said that in the Groupon and nothing annoys me more than being upsold and then dismissed. I won’t be returning and I definitely will tell everyone I know not to bother.
