Eyelash Extensions - North Kingstown RI Salon- By Jaclynn Kate

After months of researching the differences between lash extensions, I can proudly say we have hired one of the BEST lash extensionist in Rhode Island. Their were a number of things I was concerned about when hiring a lash tech. That being their experience, technique and certification. My newest stylist Haley is not only a certified lash extenionist but also a full licensed cosmetologist!

Chi lash extensions are real mink fur and my stylist has a killer portfolio to prove her skills. I myself was a little hesitant to get them done on myself being I have sensitive skin. So to test this out myself, I put a spot of glue on my hand & behind my ear for thirty minutes to see if my skin had a reaction. After I had no reaction I was sold! Let's do this!

I followed Haley into the lash room in the back of my salon and she did a full consultation with me. Then after removing all of my eye makeup and applying pads to my lower lashes so they wouldn’t get stuck, she got right to gluing. Haley explained that the mink lashes are by far the softest, curliest and most build-able out of all the different varieties of extensions, which allows her to achieve maximum volume and a highly natural look.

The process is crazy tedious (for the stylist, that is – you just have to lie there with your eyes closed!), since each of the individual extensions is dipped in glue, then attached to your lashes one by one. Haley determines the length and thickness of the mink extensions by each person’s own natural lashes, as well as the customer’s personal preference of how she wants them to look. I wanted thick glam lashes myself.

Here is my before & after! The process took her a full 90 minutes & for my ADD self I was dying a little inside lol. But the results are AMAZING and I can not ever live without them now. This photo shows me with no makeup on, so I wanted to upload one I took three nights later with makeup on.
