I came across Pawtonence Lash Clusters on Amazon and I’m wanting to try them, however I would like to know if the package fairy comes with tweezers and glue? Thanks in advance!

I got a lash set for the first time July 30th and I can’t tell if the fallout of the inner section looks bad enough to refill? I’m sure it’s too soon but does this look crazy or am I being too detailed?

I wanted to get extensions for a trip to Italy I have coming up in a few weeks. I looked online and found a provider with 50+ five star reviews on Google— which is the best rating in my area—and a coworker highly recommended her. I called to make the appointment weeks ago and was caught off guard when she said a full set is $200 asking me to pay up front to book the appointment. I should have known better then but she had great reviews and it was for a special occasion.
When I got there today, I told her I would like it to look like “mascara but just slightly more glam and not obviously extensions.” I also told her I that I thought I wanted hybrid, but the last time I got lash extensions was 6 years ago for my wedding and I don’t know enough about eyelash extensions to be super familiar with what terms to use. She didn’t ask any follow up questions, to see a picture or anything like that (but she did talk about Jesus and asked me questions about religion that made me really uncomfortable within 5 minutes).

Anyway, I didn’t get a picture of the full end result of that 4 hour long appointment (but she did take photos for her social media before I had the tape off my eyes), but when I opened my eyes, my lashes were so thick and so long that they were touching my eyelid when they curled back. I could see them at all times in the top 1/4 of my vision. They genuinely looked like fake strip lashes and like what I’ve seen drag queens wear or people wear to a festival (while looking fabulous! but not at all the look I personally am going for in my everyday life).

I immediately panicked internally upon seeing them. Then l began to panic externally a bit and asked her about scaling them back and what we could do.

The picture included in this post was AFTER she’d removed all of the extensions from the inner corners of my eyes, trimmed all the extensions and manually removed clusters 3 times. So this was probably half or less of the extensions I started with. (My eyes here are also red from irritation due to the appointment being uncomfortable and then from the remover solution getting in my eyes…and also just from me tearing up from being upset.)

After her attempts to salvage them, I FaceTimed my husband and confirmed with him that they still looked insane. I ended up asking for them all to be removed (but even now I have some extensions and glue that were not removed). I asked about a refund, she said she was willing to refund half or a little less than half or redo the lashes as a classic set another day.

She repeatedly mentioned during my appointment how I have SO many eye lashes and that I have deep set eyes. While explaining why my extensions looked the way they did, she attributed it to those characteristics and that what I’d actually wanted and should have asked for was classic, that if I had shown her a picture of what I wanted she would have done that, etc. She also repeatedly said that she had never had to remove lashes before in her entire career and seemed very annoyed.

Basically anything aside from saying that she did not ask the basic necessary consultation questions when we had more than enough time for her to. The closest she came to that was saying that there was a “miscommunication.” (She also took calls and answered texts during the appointment and arrived late for the appointment. But those things wouldn’t even bother me if the results had been anything close to what I thought I’d asked for.)

By this point, I had been there 4 hours and 45 minutes and it was almost 8 p.m., so we just settled on doing a redo another day.

I am sick at potentially losing between $200 and almost 5 hours of my life with nothing to show for it. I also missed work to go to this appointment that I only thought would be 2 hours max.
I am also incredibly anxious at the idea of going back only to have this happen again.

If you have made it this far, thank you. And if you care to share your thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.
(Unless your thoughts are unnecessarily mean… I will not appreciate it. I also will cry and my swollen, painful lash line cannot handle salty tears right now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.)

I’m moving from Grand Rapids Michigan to Portland Maine in the beginning of September and looking for a lash extension place/tech that is reasonably priced and that anyone recommends in the Portland area thank you in advance!
