Eyelash extensions and eyelash treatments have become quite popular in the last few years and eyelash shops are popping up everywhere. Just because these shops are plentiful, it does not mean they are all reputable. I can say that I personally had a fabulous experience at Lash Spot in Costa Mesa!
I am definitely not an eyelash connoisseur. I had a set of fake eyelashes put on me once for my wedding day in 2005 and I vowed never to have them again because all day my eyes were tearing up. I already have pretty long eyelashes anyhow. However, I was invited to a special event at Lash Spot a few weeks ago and thought I would try this procedure again since it had been 8 years since I had tried it last. 🙂
I attended the special event put on by Lash Spot called Night of Beauty in which there were several appointments to get a variety of treatments. They have many different services as options on their menu including everything from mini lash application, full set applications, and even waxing, makeup applications and men’s services!
I decided to have a mini lash set applied to each of my eyes which were 20-30 individual lashes added to each eye to enhance my normal look. I was interested to see how this would look. My aesthetician that did a fabulous job on my eyelashes shared with me that people have anywhere between 20 & 100 eyelashes on each eye and when I asked her how many I had, she told me I am on the 100 side which made me happy.:)
While Michelle explained to me that a lot of her clients are people that have minimum lashes, such as 20-60 per eye, she also shared with me that there were people such as myself that just wanted more to have an even fuller looking set of eyelashes and that there are men as well that come in for these treatments.
I was pretty nervous at first about getting my eyelashes due to the experience I had in 2005 where I had a simple lash strip added to each eye that made me look like I was crying all day. This treatment Michelle gave me was nothing like my prior experience! I will admit it was hard to keep my eyes open as she was taping down my lashes, but this could also simply be because I am not used to the process. After my lashes were taped down, the procedure only took about 25 minutes and was actually somewhat relaxing.
As Michelle finished my eyes, I made my way to the mirror to check them out and they looked awesome!!! I was so impressed with my lashes and the best part was that they looked totally real!! Not only did they look very natural, they lasted on my eyes for 7-9 days after the fact and I was still able to use non-oil based mascara to accentuate them!
When I came home, my husband was loving my lashes, batting the eyelashes to get what I want for once seemed to do the trick for the next week or so…I will have to go back for a touch up soon to keep the “Yes Honeys” continuing from my husband. 🙂

I think, my wife would definitely love it. I will let her know about it.
Thanks Gerald!
OMG this looks like the best day ever! Getting pampered!! I’ve always been scared to add fake lashes but if I can get “yes honey” from them I will have to give them a try! lol
Thanks so much for the compliment Marielle:) It was a lot of girl fun! Yes honeys are always fabulous!! ❤
This looks like a ton of fun!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks Shari:) It was definitely a great time!
What a cute name for a lash business! Your lashes look great, I want to see what they looked like before so I can get a contrast! 🙂
Thanks Deanna:) I have a full set of lashes as is, but it was cool to have extensions and add even more. Good point about a contrast pic! 🙂
I will also share with my wife. Very interesting!
Thanks Jim! They are fun for special occasions or even daily use:)
I have never heard of lash extensions – thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Laurel:) You should check em out sometime!
Interesting! I didn’t know there were so many places that did this. Your lashes look great!
Thanks so much for the compliment Ashley:)
I have never had this done, but I’ve heard a lot of great things. Might try them out for my wedding this year! 🙂
You totally should:) I would recommend the individual lashes each being put on rather than the full set of fake ones…stitching them in one by one makes them look more natural.
You are quite courageous to share this here. I’m happy with Mac Zoom mascara—does the trick for me….
Thank you Yvonne:) I really felt like they did a great job. I will have to check out that mascara. Thanks for the tip:)
How fun! I do nothing with my eye lashes. I am sensitive in the eye area. lol
I am too Veronica! That is why I was so impressed with this place…I was amazed I did not feel any pain:)
My lashes are all fine, but I will pass this on to my wife. Looks like a fun time for the lady’s.
Thanks Bradley:) It is a great salon!
I have seen these pop up and debated doing it. Thanks for sharing, so I have more information.
You are so welcome! I think it is a fun thing to do for a special occasion:)
I love a pampering day. Thank you for sharing the difference here too.
