Shannon McGovern is good at what she does.
My service request were eyelash extension, I turn 50 in 5 days I dont like to wear make-up but I like my eyes to look alive awake.
My girlfriends and sister's told me to try eyelash extensions.
So before my family vacation I went to Red Salon asked if they had someone who offered eyelash extension. They introduced me to Shannon and she happened to have an opening (This is Rare)
So I booked it, the next hour and a 1/2 Shannon had me close my eyes relax as she placed eyelashes on my eyes while listening to music softly. My niece was with me as well she just turned one.
For the next 48 hours I was instructed not to get them wet or really do anything that might mess up the curing process.
After two weeks I decided it is so much easier to have eyelash extension then wear make-up that I booked for a fill and had that done yesterday.
Durning my first two weeks, I had washed my face many times, always being careful of my lashes dabbing them verses a fast wipe.
I swam in a pool on vacation, was exposed to 80 plus degree weather for 7 days, so I sweated a lot this past two weeks.
I was given many compliments on how good I looked, this made me feel even better about myself I have always been a happy person I now feel people can see my smile in my eyes.
In this stage in my life, I welcome anything that helps me feel better about myself.
What I paid and what I was told would be upkeep. This is subject to change, I dont work at this Salon I just asked these questions.
Cost: full set first time $160 plus tip
Fills: once a week $25 plus tip
every two weeks $50 plus tip
and every three weeks $75 plus tip
Now the longer you wait or the more wear and tear you put on your eyelash I would say effect the cost of your fill.
Shannon let me know that if I waited to long or lost a lot of lashes more than normal the fill would be adjusted to a full set understandable so.
Shannon appears to be a kind honest and fair person she is service oriented.
Treat Shannon with respect and I'm sure she will treat you fair when it comes to fills and be honest on what is needed.
Updated 11/5/18 - I took my lashes off because I personally didn't want to maintain them, if I go on a trip I will most likely have them put back on. I like the no hassle and the look they give.
The last two pictures I posted were my natural eyelashes after I had extension on. I didn't lose my lashes by having the extension on, mine actually look fuller and longer now.
I dont know if this happens for everyone but it did for me. Maybe its because I was afraid to rub my eyes so I never did I was very conscious of my lashes..."shoot you pay enough for them".
Anyways they are a plus for me.
