Lash Extensions

I'm going to get lash extensions, and am wondering how long they last, what I should and shouldn't be doing when it comes to looking after them, and whether they are worth it.

Thanks :)

    My daughter got them, cost £60 - I think.

    She got them for her holiday, they didn't last the full two weeks, but I think holidays are probably very hard on them.

    My lashes are very short. Had them tinted today, and to be honest, can't tell much difference. Booked in for a perm, but wondering whether I should bother.

    i had mine tinted only the first time and i didnt think there was much difference but the next time i had them permed and tinted at the same time (was abit cheaper) and the difference is amazing

    in fact just had them done yesterday and eveyrone is commenting on them, do go for the perm as well.. in fact if u have dark lashes a perm only may be ok

    I had my lashes done extensions and it was horrible. It looked like I'd gone mad with the mascara brush and I was hoping they would like natural, think and curly. I've long top and bottom lashes anyway, they got stuck together and she cut my bottom ones off. Maybe she was rubbish for £60.00! But they hurt at night too as I sleep on my side and my lashes dug into the pillow and hurt my eye.:rotfl:

    Never ever again. But I know Lou blue had it done and swears by them.
