Actual Client Repairs

to show The Importance of Proper Training, Responsible Application, Artistic Talent and Certification:

Repairs

Client accidentally cut off her eyelashes using an eyelash curler below.

IMPROPERLY APPLIED EXTENSIONS & IRRESPONSIBLE APPLICATION

After the removal of the improper extensions: Notice on her left eye the lashes that are cut off in the middle and her right eye has bald spots

After the repair...

Completely Fixed!

 

Here's an example of improper training- what lash extensions are NOT supposed to look like:

These extensions were irresponsibly attached- they're too long for her natural lashes to hold!

Also, look at the single length used.  Very un-natural and not flattering at all.  What a gloppy mess!

You can see how tiny her natural lashes are. Overburdening them with extensions that are clearly too long and heavy could make her natural lashes fall out prematurely.

Don't let this happen to you!

These next two photos were extentions done by a supposed INSTRUCTOR of a competing lash company. This makes you wonder - if she's doing this to her clients, what is she possibly teaching her students???

An open letter to a livejournal poster who asked: Where can I find a place to tint my eyebrows and extend my eyelashes? Preferably somewhere near town and not too expensive :) Anyone tried eyelash extensions? good or bad? Will it look unnatural and will it make your natural eyelashes fall out?

Hello,

Be aware there are many places that will charge you a cheap rate. Don't get suckered in because of inexpensive fees. It's about education, experience and knowledge. Don't let them damage your lashes by clumping them together. Lashes that are glued/clumped together, fall out together and you end up getting what you didn't want and that is -- making your natural lashes fall out.

Look for someone that at least has been trained by an actual trained extensionist and not a dvd- though this too won't give you a guarantee that they're any good.( Look at my example above)

You should also get your lashes tinted as well, before they apply the extensions. This will help the extensions blend in with your natural lashes, but I digress.

Look for someone who won't attach the extensions down to your skin. You might end up with an allergic reaction. Properly applied lashes won't touch your skin at all. Make sure they use anti-wrinkle gel patches and not scotch tape, painters tape or anything tap- like against your skin (unless it is surgical paper tape) or else it will be painful and go into your eye or pull out your bottom lashes when removing the tape. You won't feel it either because your eyeball doesn't have any nerve endings but your eyes will end up being sore because the tape gets into your eyeball.

The reason why extensions are pricey is because it takes education, talent and experience to do what we do correctly. You wouldn't look for an inexpensive doctor, would you- that hasn't had hands on training or years of practice or successful operations? We use medical forceps for goodness sakes. There is a reason people ask for less-it's because they're STILL PRACTISING.

You shouldn't feel the extensions when you open your eyes. Your eyes shouldn't sting nor feel heavy. If the extensionist just leads you into a room w/out having you fill out any forms or talk to you at length about the extensions RUN.

I speak with my clients for at least half an hour- having them read the "Aftercare" instructions first. This helps lead the client into developing questions for me. The next page is an intake form for tinting. The third asks questions about your health, your habits, what your expectations and the look you are going for - if you want glamorous or conservative lashes, if length or thickness are important to you, perhaps both are equally important. The last pages are notes asks what products you use- a platform for which to talk with you about your lashes.

They should take before and after images of your lashes and after of your extensions. This protects both you and the extensionist. It protects you by showing what you walked in with, if the extensionist should apply them terribly. And it protects the extensionist because when you get these extensions on, you start believing you have always looked that good.

There are a ton more horrible extensionist's out there that learn from a DVD off of ebay than there are those that seek out extensive classes with hands-on training.

Will the terrible extensions look good? Take a look at this next image:

Yes, at first glance, they'll look good to the untrained eye. But take a closer look. See how there are clumps and flat globs of glue at the hairline? See how the glue is touching her skin? After a while, your own natural lashes give up because they are overburdened with lashes and glue. Then they'll probably start itching and annoying you because they're growing at different rates from one another, so much that you end up pulling them out because they itch. That won't look good and you'll look worse than when you walked in to get them (see damaged lashes below).

I hope this note doesn't come across in the wrong way. I have your lashes best interest in mind. I'm just very passionate about my work.

People have asked me, "Aren't you afraid of teaching your competition?" The answer to that is a flat out "No". The reason I have chosen to do so is because I would rather the student competitors know how to do it properly than to have them ruin client's lashes and thus, ruin the industry which I love being part of.

I beg you to find someone who really knows what she/he is doing. Don't just go for someone because they give you a good price.

Even the pricey ones do not necessarily know what they're doing either. I know that isn't any comfort but the best you can do is look at a lot of close up photographs.

I personally have very few people I would recommend. Like I said, applying these to clients lashes is difficult. I only trust perhaps seven to ten people on this great earth to apply these on me.

One extensionist I trust is located in Florida, another near Washington DC, the other in Portland, OR, one in Denver, CO and the other four are with me at our spa.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The #1 Eyelash Extensionist in Houston & the US
Posted by aulyjackson on 03/23/2007

Wow what can I say, Laura Lee is the best in her field!!!! I came to her after having a bad experience with eyelash extensions with someone who just did not know what she was doing. I had very few eyelashes on each eye with the left eye being the worst. I felt I looked like a cancer patient with no hair in that area. When Laura first looked at me she was just not sure what she could do, but we had a consult and she decided to try her Lavish Lash procedure. I am telling you, she made the few eyelashes that I had left get back to a normal look!. I was so excited about her care and attention. I am just waiting to grow out my remaining lashes so I can go back to her to get the full Lavish Lash effect, I look great now, but I know when I get the full effect I will look extremely wonderful. Eyelash extensions are a very subtle way of giving your face a lift without a lot of makeup for those who do not like the extreme look and the pains of putting it on everyday. You just get up and go. Laura is currently ranked # 3 in the US alone. What she did for me can not be put into words, and I feel she is #1 and the best in her field. After my bad experience, I was not sure if I would ever try the process again. I did massive research on her before seeing her. So if you have been looking to get this process done, please see her. You will not be disappointed and will have a whole new look. I receive compliments on the ones I have in, as I mentioned earlier, which are not the fuller look. She is worth every penny of this process, and I will be her client for life!!!!! Wish I had found her the first time around!! A Jackson

  • Pros: Thumbs Up, Relaxing, Sanitary, Extremely Professional!!
  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

(can you see me in her eye's reflection?)

Be leery of websites that don't have close up samples of their work! Ask yourself, "why aren't they showing us close ups, what are they trying to hide?" Even worse is when the images they do show - are stock photos of Laura Lee's work!!!

Below: After tinting her long natural lashes

Below after giving her eyelash extensions:

This client below isn't wearing mascara! Just our beautiful lash extensions!

Neither is this client: (and check out what the anti-wrinkle gel pads will do in just an hour!)

 

 

 

A note for those living with trichotillomania-

People with trichotillomania (trich-pronounced trick)have a tendency to literally pull out their hair. They feel isolated and angry because they feel like no one else does what they do. People with trich may pull hair from their scalp, arms, legs, eyelashes, eyebrows, stomach, armpits, and pubic areas. There is treatment for trich. Anti-psychotic medications like Risperdal are very effective. Trich can cause muscle tiredness, carpal tunnel syndrome, bald patches, itching, dandruff, and scabs. People with trich often wear scarves, hats, sunglasses, shave their heads, wear long pants, long shirts, apply fake eyelashes, and draw on their eyebrows.

Trichotillomania is a chronic problem, meaning that although one can recover from it, there is currently no specific cure, although OCD medications are highly effective. It can be stubborn, but with proper treatment and persistence, picking and/or pulling hairs can be greatly reduced and even brought under control (often called "hibernation"). Clinicians who are specialized in treating this problem are not always easy to find, but do have the techniques and training to bring about substantial improvement. Some often-prescribed medications include Zoloft, Celexa (Citalopram), Prozac, Risperdal, and BuSpar.

Houston Lashes has helped several clients with this condition by applying eyelash extensions when possible, in a safe, professional and understanding manner.

Reservations & Cancellation Policy

The Spa services are very popular. Spa services are available by appointment. All services must be guaranteed with a major credit card to reserve your appointment.  We recommend booking spa reservations in advance and will do everything possible to honor your request and time. Appointments are booked based on availability. We recommend scheduling your appointment as one or two days in advance to ensure availability. To reserve any spa services, we require a credit card or gift certificate or gift card number to guarantee the appointment.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy: We aim to provide our clients the highest quality service and we pride ourselves on our exceptional staff. If you cancel within less than 24 hours of your scheduled appointment, we not only loose your business, but also the potential business of other clients who could have taken your scheduled appointment time. For this reason we are still obligated to compensate our staff for their time as well as make up for our lost revenue.

When we reserve the therapist’s time especially for you, please give us at least 24 hours notice to avoid paying the full value of the service for any cancellations or re-scheduling to a later time or date. If you are moving your appointment earlier and we can accommodate your request there will be no charge. Because we may turn people away for the time we hold for you, the cancellation policy still applies even if you are making the appointment for the same day. 

Because spa treatments are reserved for you, you must notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

No-shows and same-day appointment cancellations less than 24 hours will be charged the full value of the treatment reserved, and/or any gift card associated with that appointment will count as services rendered and forfeited. If you are canceling an appointment that you've also previously rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice - you will be charged full price.

This insures all other guests the opportunity to enjoy our services. A cancellation confirmation number will be given to you as your proof of exactly when your appointment was cancelled or changed.

A cancellation confirmation number will be given to you as your proof of exactly when your appointment was cancelled or changed.

But, we're reasonable. We understand that emergencies "come up." Therefore, we only charge 50% of the services that would have been rendered and only if we cannot find another client to fill your slot. However, if you fail to appear for your appointment without attempting to cancel your appointment beforehand, a full fee is charged to your credit card for missed appointments that are reschedule or canceled less than 24 hours or 48 hours on spa packages. This is why we require a credit card from you to guarantee your reservation.

Gift Certificate or Gift Card Return Policy:
Unfortunately, we are unable to process any returns or reimburse any payment transactions on gift certificates or gift cards, if lost or expired.

Late Arrivals:
We regret that late arrivals will not receive an extension of scheduled service times and you will be responsible for full service fees.

If you are a late arrival and also request an additional service, you will still be responsible for the full service fee of your original request plus the full service fee for your additional service in the remaining time allotted.

Jewelry:
We suggest you arrange for your valuables prior to your visit with us. Do not put your jewelry into tissues or on the table.

 


We recommend booking spa reservations in advance and will do everything possible to honor your request and time. Appointments are booked based on availability.

Appointments and cancellations may be made through the Spa. Please call us at 832-618-1145, or contact us via e-mail at info "at" heightsmassage "dot" com

 

GRATUITIES

People wonder about tipping. Our therapists, of course appreciate your acknowledgement if they have done an exceptional job, however, if the added expense of the tip makes it a financial challenge, we would rather see you a second time rather than having you worry about a tip. Gratuities are not included in gift cards unless otherwise noted. Tips are appropriate for all Spa Services, but not for Consultations or Programs.

Gratuities are not included in spa services.

Rates are subject to change.
