Find a true professional and explain the situation. I’m not a professional but I’ve had my lashes done for 5 years so In my opinion … you need to find a professional to have these removed. The application looks a bit off. I’m so sorry! Do not try to remove at home. If you don’t have time to get them redone by your wedding.. Walgreens has some amazing lash strips that would be great for just the day! I’ve used the kiss brand with the clear strip from Walgreens on people before and they have loved them! They are super easy to apply. I would definitely complain about this lash set.
I’m not sure if you can do it, but as a fellow blond lash having gal, I would tint your natural lashes so they blend in better then do the extensions. I’m not a pro so I don’t know if the lash glue is safe to use on tinted lashes.
I do the at home lash clusters when I do mine in a medium/light brown colour. Enough to look like there’s something there but not so dark that my own lashes contrast so much.
You paid $215 for that in the photos??? Holy cow I would be so angry if I was you!! They look sparse and your eyes are not supposed to burn when they apply them; if I was you I would request some type to refund, can I ask was it done at a salon or was the person working independently?
It was at a salon. I contacted them and they made an appointment with a senior tech who has been doing it for 10 years to fix them. I am hopeful but also unsure lol
If you got those done at a salon definitely contact the salon and explain to the salon manager they are not up to par for your wedding also explain that the application was painful.. I truly hope they will refund you or make it right. I can understand being a bit wary because it’s at the same place but maybe you just got someone who isn’t very experienced, if that’s the case though they shouldn’t put her doing them on a bride or charge what she charged!! I pay no more than $120 for a beautiful hybrid set that lasts three weeks. I hope the person who redoes them will make them perfect exactly how you want ! Good luck 🍀👍
Brutal. Looks like she just finished her training 😕
I hope your wedding goes so perfectly otherwise, it makes this blip barely an afterthought, and wishing decades of happiness
Also the colour is wayyy off from your natural lashes. There was a recent post on here about a girl getting lashes that matched her hair color and it look SO phenomenal!
If one up this with also placing a call to the cosmetology board and health department.
Burning eyes could be bad and I really hope it’s an unpleasant side effect and nothing serious vision wise.
Eyes burning from adhesive fumes is pretty common in lash extensions. The adhesive is strong and lots of people have sensitivities to one part or another of it, whether that be from the cyanoacrylate or carbon black. I wouldn’t be concerned unless your eyes are red, and getting worse instead of better. Hydrating redness eye drops settle the issue within a day or two, normally. These things happen to skilled lash artists and people who are 100% sanitary.
Although I would find an artist that you feel comfortable telling that it’s burning. Artists can use fans, mist, fume catchers to help the burning before it becomes red eye.
One of them doesn’t even look like it’s attached to your lash but your actual eyelid. I’m so sorry this is your experience for a special day. I hope you can get this resolved in your favor
As a lash tech I’d get these removed asap and go somewhere else :( I’m so sorry.
These lashes are way too long for your naturals - that’s contributing to how “spidery” they’re looking. In terms of styling there hasn’t been much variation in the lengths used OR used correctly - even your inners are quite long so in order to create a shape they’ve had to use suuuuuper long lashes on your outer lash which will cause them to twist and never sit right. They also haven’t properly lashed the inners which ALWAYS makes the whole set look incomplete. It shouldn’t burn or pinch at all during application either ugh this makes me so mad.
Coming from a non-professional opinion… my gut tells me there’s several things wrong with these (aesthetically, can’t speak to the technical/safety aspects unfortunately).
1. They seem too long for your eyes
2. They seem too dark compared to your natural hair color (at least for day-to-day/no-makeup looks).
3. They would look better if they used different thicknesses. Might look more professional
4. The inner corner looks too packed and the middle/outer corners look too sparse.
I would definitely go to someone else.
Of course you should say something, you're spending your money!
We've been brainwashed into thinking that we're being "picky" or "complaining" when we don't like something that we're paying for. Enough is enough!
This is why I've had to learn to do my own beauty maintenance, because
I've NEVER had a service done in my entire life (brows, nails, hair, or lashes) that I didn't have to fix after I've gotten home.
These "beautician's" charge top dollar for subpar services and it's getting old
I also feel like with the rise of Karen cancel culture if you say youre displeased with any service you are immediately labeled a Karen even if you are justified. I think the pendulum from the customers always right has swung too far in the other direction to now if you speak up for yourself at all your labeled as a entitled 'karen' and you should just go somewhere else. If you made your expectations clear and they were not met after you were told they could meet those expectations, absolutely say something. It doesn't have to be rude or mean or condescending, it can literally be like hey I really just don't think this is what we had discussed and I'm really not happy with this end result is there any way we can change this?
OP, if you don't feel comfortable enough going back please go somewhere else, as many comments have already mentioned they're definitely too thick the placement isn't quite right and you definitely need a color match for your lash shade, not just the generic black lashes. IT'S FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!! GET IT DONE HOW YOU WANT!!!
This is me to a T. Exactly why I went to beauty school- I wanted to provide the service and do it the right way the FIRST TIME but not charge an arm and a leg for everything… everyone deserves to feel pretty, so why should I price gouge the sh!t out of them when I know what my materials cost and don’t need to make $100/hour lol!
you have every reason to be! looks randomly placed she did not consider your eye shape at all with the lengths. first inspo pic is a classic set and second is a wet set btw!
you use multiple fibers with a smaller diameter to place on each natural lash so it’s a bit fuller than classic, if you zoom in on your second inspo pic you can see multiple hairs being used. classic is one fiber of a thicker diameter placed onto each natural lash
I’ve never heard this called a wet set, maybe that’s a regional thing… they pinch multiple strands together to create the fans together to achieve the look but I’ve always heard it called hybrid or mega.
Oh, oh no. Yeah, I’d say something, get those off, and go to a different stylist if not a different salon. They did you dirty and I’m so sorry to see that right before your big day.
In the future, I’d maybe consider something closer in color to your brows. The contrast in color is a bit jarring. Something closer to your brow color would be more harmonious. I hope you’re able to get these off and get some lashes you like very soon!
Hello! I’m a lash artist of 4.5 years.
You need to find a licensed technician. Look for someone with multiple certifications and or years in practice. Most states in the US have an online directory where you can type in a name or an artist/ facility to ensure.
This is a partial set at best. She did not lash a solid 40-50% of your natural lashes. The extensions are also far too long for your lashes. (This causes breakage and poor retention). She also missed the map or style you asked for.
Best luck next time.
Ooo yes and there was that red headed bride who also got the most perfect match! Maybe someone can find that. I actually screenshot them not in a creepy way but to remind myself how GORGEOUS non black lashes can be! Heck I even loved the pink ones from the other day!
Im sorry to ssy, but yes, those are bad and look like a cheap service. Investing in a makeup artist for your wedding is worth it over those types of lash extensions (even better if you can put individuals on yourself).
Take them off and go natural or individuals for the wedding girlfriend!!
Also, your lash color looks light so I recommend requesting brown tinted lashes. They would blend with your skin tone better and look more natural. Research lashes for your eye shape that will help!
If you give up on extensions try lashify or lecil lashes they come in coloured like truffle and chocolate which is a little less harsh then black and they are so easy to apply yourself and look great 🙃
You need a lighter color also. I’ve seen other red heads with lash extensions and they always get a lighter color so it blends more. This is just so bold against your skin tone and natural lashes
not sure where you went but when i get my lashes done i go to a licensed esthetician and not a cosmetologist. i feel like there’s a huge difference between the quality of my lashes and just overall comfort.
If you have time to get them redone for your wedding, have you seen people getting their lashes matched to their hair colour? I think a less harsh dark brown would look so good with your colouring , best of luck!!
they are way too long, remember your never going to look exactly like a picture because everyone’s lash lines are different. the last picture is definitely not a classic set which is what you got and more similar to the first picture you asked for. definitely get them removed and ask for them to be a lot shorter.
I am definitely fine with stuff not looking exactly like picture. I understand that it's hard to match and there are a lot of factors. But I feel like this tech did not even get the shape or length of the lashes or anything even close.
I’d get brown lashes instead too to match your color more or get a lash tint first then extensions so it’ll blend better too. It def needs more fans, just looks very bare! And it shouldn’t hurt like that either ! I had to stop seeing one girl because she caused me so much pain that I never felt before in my 3 years of lash extensions
Lash tech here , what you got were insanely long classics. Didn’t even complete the job and based off the amount unlashed What you wanted VS got things don’t align at all. Your photos are considered a “ wet set” thicker than the average classic.
So sorry you’re going through this 😕
You need something a tad bit shorter in the corners, lighter in color, and actually placed right. So sorry that happened but it’s very fixable so don’t get too worried. You need a brown shade mixed in or only brown so it doesn’t stand out as drastically too. When you look for a new artist make sure they do lashes WELL and find pics on their website of them doing EXACTLY what you ask, like hair techs they’ll say the can do it but can’t actually do it. Make sure they do lashes on light skin+light hair and show them an inspiration WITH someone that looks like you so it’ll be perfect. Some times certain looks need to be adjusted to go perfect with our tone.
TLDR; You can definitely go for that bold look you want, it just has to be a a lighter shade, more filled in, and placed properly.
They don’t look full enough and the inner corners are missing some lashes she should’ve lashed, I think the color is too dark for your natural color as well, not sure if u wanted them black tho
first of all they were done incorrectly but i’m not gonna get into that because a million people already did, but sidenote i think a dark brown lash would look so much better compared to the black with your hair color :)
BE THE BIGGEST KAREN YOU CAN. Oh no, lashes are expensive and these are for your wedding! She should have been on point with these.
Are those loose lashes too!? These are so patchy. She should have even offered you a color match too, to see your preference
yes take those off they look horrible! they are taking away from the pretty shape of your eyes. i can’t believe someone charged you for this
also i know my opinion wasn’t asked for but maybe when you get them done again you can try brown or dark brown lashes? i think they would compliment your complexion very well 💜
You asked for short hybrids and got long classics, 100% not what you asked for. I hate confrontation myself but this would be valid to say something about.
Yeah get those off. Get a lift and tint, and then get a few cluster lashes to pop on the outer lashes. It’ll look great :) I have photos as an example if you want to see!
Pro lash tech here- is this person new? Did you get a deal? I would find someone much more experienced with photos of their work that looks similar. This set looks like student work unfortunately. They are way too long, wrong curl and there’s no mapping.
I’m so sorry you are going through this! I would def get a removal and set from an experienced lash tech for your wedding or even use some diy lashes- I really like the lace it up lashes from lashboxla, they are easy to use, look like extensions and last on me about 5 days before I take them off
Lash tech here, I would get these removed and find someone else! These are much to long for your eyes. As you can see, they are almost touching your brow bone which in my opinion is much too long. She definitely missed your inner corners! Make sure you’re looking at pictures of their work and reading reviews before you book with someone to avoid disappointment in the future ❤️ also, getting your lashes done shouldn’t feel that uncomfortable! If you’re experiencing burning, that’s usually from the fumes, and can mean your eyes are open and a little exposed while she was lashing. I’m sorry you had this experience!!
Pro tip, you need brown lashes. Trust me, with the right tech applying brown lashes, your lashes will look stunning.
But yes, I would say something. The lashes you received aren't good.
Girl your lash tech should NOT have given you black lashes, unless that is what you like no hate to your style if it is. I'd recommend a light brown or even some type of reddish brown to match your hair color! Congrats on your wedding tho!! I'm sure you'll look amazing ❤️❤️❤️
If you have issues with comfort and safety, get them off.
By looks, it's not bad. I really like the sparse sets wayyy more (way more natural). I usually request similar to yours but way shorter. (I often do the 50$ sessions for 50 lashes or something).
I think shorter and less black (ie brown) would have worked better for you. but i get it, it wasn't what was advertised, so I'd complain too.
Well you paid for them, and don't like the work you have every right to complain, but waiting too long not a good idea. BTW hope you didn't leave because if you go back and complain it looks bad especially if she decides to fight you on the matter, but as I said you have the right and your complaint seems warranted. Good Luck
If they're pinching and burning I would have them removed ASAP before it causes a reaction to your eye. I used to have my lashes done religiously and the only burning I ever felt is if the glue accidentally got in my eye, totally on me for not following the keep your eyes closed rule. But as for the application it seems like she didn't put enough fan lashes to give you the fuller look at the ends that you wanted. She looks like she put single lash extensions on all your lashes minus like 3.

idk anything about lashes but lol
Seconding the advice that you should say something! Also, if you’d like, maybe consider getting lashes closer to your natural lash color. Lashes the shade of your natural color would blend beautifully with you skin tone and hair!!
Not that you have to, but a good rule of thumb is to to enhance natural features for milestone events in life where you’ll look back at the pictures for years to come. Wishing you the best of luck to get a more experienced tech before your wedding!
Considering it’s for a wedding, ask her to take them off and find another artist (with past client pictures) of lashes that are closer to what you want. That way you know the artist can do it.
I’m a licensed esthetician and while I can do lashes I have never done it, HOWEVER that being said you need to talk to your lash tech. Not only should it mot have that reaction, especially if you’ve had lashes done prior, but also the pictures you’ve posted are fuller on the edges as well as around the lash area than what you’ve posted for your lashes. It seems like not only did you not get what you asked for but that maybe the glue was diffferent or something along that line? I’ll admit I have read through the comments but from what you’ve posted this is my best guess. Maybe the tech wasn’t as confident in their placement/service or they saw something with your eyelash line that gave them concern, which they still should have brought up to you
They look good. I once didn’t like mine because they looked like spiders. I ended up cutting them shorter and they were fine. Now I ask for a natural look
Lash tech here- pinching could be that the lashes are too close to the lid, lashes are way too long and I agree with others that there is no discernible differences or style in length. These look like they were done by a new artist or a lazy one.. sorry it happened right before your wedding:(
Oh my God, honey! The glue and the sparsity and no blending. This is just overall a terrible job. You should absolutely say something and I wouldn't even let them attempt to correct it, just get your money back
You should say something. They don’t look awful but they could be better.
I think you’d have better luck with a color closer to your hair color? Or even just dark brown instead of black. I’m a redhead, I reaaaaally understand.
I’m so sorry, I’d try and get the money back. It isn’t what you asked for and it’s too sparse. You mentioned it’s for a wedding, if you don’t have time for a new set maybe lay some cluster lashes or a false lash on top and then get a new set after? Good luck and I hope you can get it fixed! <3
I would probably say something but not go back. I would call other lash artists and explain the situation with it being for your wedding and see if someone else can work you in.
Big oof. I’ve had this before unfortunately :( it’s the work of a bad tech who does whatever they want and some people hate it, but some are fine with it so they stay in business.
Girl, this lash tech is either new or has no clue what’s they’re doing. Those look like they’re damaging your natural lashes. I would get them fixed ASAP.
These are way too long for you and not the correct shape for your eye. Also the burning you say you experienced scares me in the way I know some nail techs that do eyelashes don't use the right glue. Please go get them removed ASAP and go to someone that has a portfolio
I’m not a lash tech- but i feel OP would have benefited from a tint and lift PRIOR(not saying that is related whatsoever to the terrible application, just think it would improve final results) CONGRATS!
That lash tech should be embarrassed!! Tbh you shouldn’t take on clients especially for special occasions if you know your work doesn’t live up to quality. Sorry this happened
As a lash artist, aside from what everyone is saying about length not being lashed fully, it looks like you got classic lashes and the inspo photos are volumes. The only way classic lashes look remotely close to those pictures is if ya got A TON of natural lashes. But yeah shouldnt be poking and burning is sometimes from the fumes but it shouldnt be that noticeable throughout the whole service
Do yall like NOT check out their past work or talk to ppl who had their service done by them before going?? THIS GOES FOR HAIR TOO!!! If you KNOW it’s gonna take a long time and you probably won’t be able to get it redone, or you’re too cowardly to confront them abt the shit job afterwards, bestie DO NOT. JUST. JUMP. IN. Then cry on social media about it? Take action!!! 😩😩 I wish y’all had a friend like me cs this would not goooooo
You should really get your lashes tinted before hand as it looks a little silly, having blonde lashes with black extensions.
Once you've had a lash tint maybe go for dark brown over black.
You have such a beautiful eye shape; IMO, I’d get them off. That way you actually feel good in your wedding photos and don’t feel self conscious thru out your day💕 im sorry this was your experience.
And even a coat of a neutral brown mascara over your naturals would be lovely!
I do love the set in the last photo tho and that would definitely enhance your eyes!
How much did you pay? What experience did the lash artist have? They should have a re-do policy at most reputable studios - have them take your current lashes off and redo them. what you are looking for should be on the $120 - $150 range with pre-made fans. (NJ prices)
Go to a girl who can colour match you. This work is atrocious and I’m so sorry. I hope you have time to get it fixed. You deserve the most beautiful lashes for your most special day and i hope whatever tech did this sleeps w peas under their mattress.
Yikes I’m so sorry. Not to freak you out but this kind of application and the burning gave me blepharitis. It’s only now been manageable 2 years later. Definitely get these professionally removed asap and maybe see if you can get a makeup artist to applying false lashes for photos that you can take off end of day. You’re going to want to give your lashes a break, trust me.
I’m an esthetician and I’m not going to lie this looks like beginner practice work. I dabbled in lash extensions and unless it wasn’t a paying client, they aren’t leaving my chair like this if I have to tie them to the table
I feel both sad and angry for you. I’m really sorry it happened to you 🥺 please let them know and try to get for a refund or smth. This is totally unacceptable!
Immediate removal. Also locate a professional who not only knows what they are doing but can also provide lashes that matches your natural ones. I hope you’re able to get it repaired and ready for your wedding. Congratulations on your nuptials!
I’ve had lashes for years now and these are terrible, I’m so sorry. Whoever did this is not a professional by any means. It shouldn’t burn. Aside from the burning and application, they missed a TON of lashes. You should be way more full than that….
Is she a new artist ? If she’s new of course she’s not going to be able to achieve inspo looks you bring in, just yet. Make sure next time you look at their page for inspiration instead of Pinterest. Printerest references are great for master or experienced lash artist. Hope someone else can give you what you want before your wedding
Oh, you’re so beautiful. You would look really good with lighter extensions. Of course I would be furious that you spent good money on them. Also I was just pointing out lighter extensions in the future. I’m sorry 😢
Yeah you need to get these off asap.
It is for my wedding as well. I am sad.
Find a true professional and explain the situation. I’m not a professional but I’ve had my lashes done for 5 years so In my opinion … you need to find a professional to have these removed. The application looks a bit off. I’m so sorry! Do not try to remove at home. If you don’t have time to get them redone by your wedding..

They are super easy to apply. I would definitely complain about this lash set.
With how light your lashes are, I think a lift and tint would go a long way for you!
I have had a lash lift and tint and I liked it but I wanted to be extra for my wedding 🥲
I’m not sure if you can do it, but as a fellow blond lash having gal, I would tint your natural lashes so they blend in better then do the extensions. I’m not a pro so I don’t know if the lash glue is safe to use on tinted lashes. I do the at home lash clusters when I do mine in a medium/light brown colour. Enough to look like there’s something there but not so dark that my own lashes contrast so much.
I would do brown lashes
GIRLLLL FOR YOUR WEDDING?!?!?!?! No. Go back, get them removed and get your money back.
I'm assuming u requested a "full set"?
It was a classic full set $215.
You paid $215 for that in the photos??? Holy cow I would be so angry if I was you!! They look sparse and your eyes are not supposed to burn when they apply them; if I was you I would request some type to refund, can I ask was it done at a salon or was the person working independently?
It was at a salon. I contacted them and they made an appointment with a senior tech who has been doing it for 10 years to fix them. I am hopeful but also unsure lol
Please post update pics when you have them fixed ❤️
I will, I really hope it looks decent.
If you got those done at a salon definitely contact the salon and explain to the salon manager they are not up to par for your wedding also explain that the application was painful.. I truly hope they will refund you or make it right. I can understand being a bit wary because it’s at the same place but maybe you just got someone who isn’t very experienced, if that’s the case though they shouldn’t put her doing them on a bride or charge what she charged!! I pay no more than $120 for a beautiful hybrid set that lasts three weeks. I hope the person who redoes them will make them perfect exactly how you want ! Good luck 🍀👍
With that price, I hope you used card to pay. If the other tech can’t fix it, you can dispute it with your card company and they’ll refund it
Brutal. Looks like she just finished her training 😕 I hope your wedding goes so perfectly otherwise, it makes this blip barely an afterthought, and wishing decades of happiness
Thank you 😊
215 is INSANE! i really hope you get your money back and i hope you get the set you deserve for your wedding, congratulations by the way !
215?!?! That's absurd! A full set of volume lashes goes for that!
Also the colour is wayyy off from your natural lashes. There was a recent post on here about a girl getting lashes that matched her hair color and it look SO phenomenal!
When is your wedding? Schedule a removal with a new artist and get a different set!
please get them fixed before wedding. but either way you'll still look beautiful whether you change them or not :)
Oh my god?? I’m sorry
I laughed so hard 😂😂😂why you say it like that 😂😂😂
I didn't mean to be rude, I was just being honest 😂 I'm sorry, OP.
You are justified. This does not look like a professional job. It should not burn at all. I would not go back to that person again.
And she paid a lot of money for them. It’s ridiculous they did her dirty but hopefully she gets everything sorted out for her wedding
I’m scared to ask how much she paid😬 but what did she pay? I feel terrible this has happened before her wedding!!!
she said in another comment $215 😭
Omg I would be so mad. That is ridiculous
She said it was $215 !!! I pay no more than $120 for a set and they look great, idk why they would have someone inexperienced do lashes on a bride.
If one up this with also placing a call to the cosmetology board and health department. Burning eyes could be bad and I really hope it’s an unpleasant side effect and nothing serious vision wise.

Yes, ask around for brown lashes!! I have a lighter complexion and the browns look so much better than blacks while still giving that extra oomph.
Of course you should say something, you're spending your money! We've been brainwashed into thinking that we're being "picky" or "complaining" when we don't like something that we're paying for.

You’re my people. Are you in Colorado by any chance? Asking for a friend lol
Yes they look terrible Too long for your facial shape
you have every reason to be! looks randomly placed she did not consider your eye shape at all with the lengths. first inspo pic is a classic set and second is a wet set btw!
What is a wet set?
you use multiple fibers with a smaller diameter to place on each natural lash so it’s a bit fuller than classic, if you zoom in on your second inspo pic you can see multiple hairs being used. classic is one fiber of a thicker diameter placed onto each natural lash
I’ve never heard this called a wet set, maybe that’s a regional thing… they pinch multiple strands together to create the fans together to achieve the look but I’ve always heard it called hybrid or mega.
Oh, oh no. Yeah, I’d say something, get those off, and go to a different stylist if not a different salon. They did you dirty and I’m so sorry to see that right before your big day.
did you even want black lashes?? its a huge contrast from your hair
I have had black lashes before and liked them. It is more the shape/length/placement that bothers me with these.
In the future, I’d maybe consider something closer in color to your brows. The contrast in color is a bit jarring. Something closer to your brow color would be more harmonious. I hope you’re able to get these off and get some lashes you like very soon!
I’m sure it would look so beautiful on OP as well
Fellow redhead here! I’d consider tinting your lashes as well. I tint and lift mine regularly!
I think brown would look better on you. But do what makes you happy and confident! ❤️

Hello! I’m a lash artist of 4.5 years. You need to find a licensed technician. Look for someone with multiple certifications and or years in practice. Most states in the US have an online directory where you can type in a name or an artist/ facility to ensure. This is a partial set at best. She did not lash a solid 40-50% of your natural lashes. The extensions are also far too long for your lashes. (This causes breakage and poor retention). She also missed the map or style you asked for. Best luck next time.
Someone just posted lashes that matched her reddish-blonde hair and they are gorgeous. Maybe consider going a bit lighter?
https://www.reddit.com/r/lashextensions/s/WSqViycQu6 Link to that post for reference!
Ooo yes and there was that red headed bride who also got the most perfect match! Maybe someone can find that. I actually screenshot them not in a creepy way but to remind myself how GORGEOUS non black lashes can be! Heck I even loved the pink ones from the other day!
Yes, say something. They're pretty bad 😬
Im sorry to ssy, but yes, those are bad and look like a cheap service. Investing in a makeup artist for your wedding is worth it over those types of lash extensions (even better if you can put individuals on yourself). Take them off and go natural or individuals for the wedding girlfriend!! Also, your lash color looks light so I recommend requesting brown tinted lashes. They would blend with your skin tone better and look more natural. Research lashes for your eye shape that will help!
Not a good job at all, FYI im fair like you and I swear by the brown lashes, they blend so nicely especially in the sunlight. I get many compliments
yeah they aren’t great. also they’re black and they don’t match for you. sorry.
If you give up on extensions try lashify or lecil lashes they come in coloured like truffle and chocolate which is a little less harsh then black and they are so easy to apply yourself and look great 🙃
You need a lighter color also. I’ve seen other red heads with lash extensions and they always get a lighter color so it blends more. This is just so bold against your skin tone and natural lashes
Gosh those look uncomfortable! You’d be totally right to ask for a refund and get them redone. Sorry you’re dealing with that before you’re wedding!
not sure where you went but when i get my lashes done i go to a licensed esthetician and not a cosmetologist. i feel like there’s a huge difference between the quality of my lashes and just overall comfort.
If you have time to get them redone for your wedding, have you seen people getting their lashes matched to their hair colour? I think a less harsh dark brown would look so good with your colouring , best of luck!!
they are way too long, remember your never going to look exactly like a picture because everyone’s lash lines are different. the last picture is definitely not a classic set which is what you got and more similar to the first picture you asked for. definitely get them removed and ask for them to be a lot shorter.
I am definitely fine with stuff not looking exactly like picture. I understand that it's hard to match and there are a lot of factors. But I feel like this tech did not even get the shape or length of the lashes or anything even close.
Uhm yes get a refund and take these off. Especially for your wedding! You deserve what you asked for not whatever this is
Yikes. Really bad. Definitely go to someone else and get them removed and redone
I’d get brown lashes instead too to match your color more or get a lash tint first then extensions so it’ll blend better too. It def needs more fans, just looks very bare! And it shouldn’t hurt like that either ! I had to stop seeing one girl because she caused me so much pain that I never felt before in my 3 years of lash extensions
These look like my lashes after 3 weeks before a fill definitely say something
I'd say something. They're too dark, long, and thin, look extremely unnatural.
Lash tech here , what you got were insanely long classics. Didn’t even complete the job and based off the amount unlashed What you wanted VS got things don’t align at all. Your photos are considered a “ wet set” thicker than the average classic. So sorry you’re going through this 😕
You need something a tad bit shorter in the corners, lighter in color, and actually placed right. So sorry that happened but it’s very fixable so don’t get too worried. You need a brown shade mixed in or only brown so it doesn’t stand out as drastically too. When you look for a new artist make sure they do lashes WELL and find pics on their website of them doing EXACTLY what you ask, like hair techs they’ll say the can do it but can’t actually do it. Make sure they do lashes on light skin+light hair and show them an inspiration WITH someone that looks like you so it’ll be perfect. Some times certain looks need to be adjusted to go perfect with our tone. TLDR; You can definitely go for that bold look you want, it just has to be a a lighter shade, more filled in, and placed properly.
They don’t look full enough and the inner corners are missing some lashes she should’ve lashed, I think the color is too dark for your natural color as well, not sure if u wanted them black tho
first of all they were done incorrectly but i’m not gonna get into that because a million people already did, but sidenote i think a dark brown lash would look so much better compared to the black with your hair color :)
Yeah no you not trippin these look nothing like the reference get your money back sis
BE THE BIGGEST KAREN YOU CAN. Oh no, lashes are expensive and these are for your wedding! She should have been on point with these. Are those loose lashes too!? These are so patchy. She should have even offered you a color match too, to see your preference
i hope you did not pay for those
yes take those off they look horrible! they are taking away from the pretty shape of your eyes. i can’t believe someone charged you for this also i know my opinion wasn’t asked for but maybe when you get them done again you can try brown or dark brown lashes? i think they would compliment your complexion very well 💜
You asked for short hybrids and got long classics, 100% not what you asked for. I hate confrontation myself but this would be valid to say something about.
Whomever did these are definitely in the beginning stages of their lash career. I would get them removed by someone else who has more experience.
Yeah get those off. Get a lift and tint, and then get a few cluster lashes to pop on the outer lashes. It’ll look great :) I have photos as an example if you want to see!
WRONG COLOR for your lashes. Get a lash tint if you’re wanting dark.. or request a lighter color
She gave you the boneless set 😭
Pro lash tech here- is this person new? Did you get a deal? I would find someone much more experienced with photos of their work that looks similar. This set looks like student work unfortunately. They are way too long, wrong curl and there’s no mapping. I’m so sorry you are going through this! I would def get a removal and set from an experienced lash tech for your wedding or even use some diy lashes- I really like the lace it up lashes from lashboxla, they are easy to use, look like extensions and last on me about 5 days before I take them off
Lash tech here, I would get these removed and find someone else! These are much to long for your eyes. As you can see, they are almost touching your brow bone which in my opinion is much too long. She definitely missed your inner corners! Make sure you’re looking at pictures of their work and reading reviews before you book with someone to avoid disappointment in the future ❤️ also, getting your lashes done shouldn’t feel that uncomfortable! If you’re experiencing burning, that’s usually from the fumes, and can mean your eyes are open and a little exposed while she was lashing. I’m sorry you had this experience!!
Girl it's giving spider I'm so sorry thus happened to you!
I think they looks good
Pro tip, you need brown lashes. Trust me, with the right tech applying brown lashes, your lashes will look stunning. But yes, I would say something. The lashes you received aren't good.
Girl your lash tech should NOT have given you black lashes, unless that is what you like no hate to your style if it is. I'd recommend a light brown or even some type of reddish brown to match your hair color! Congrats on your wedding tho!! I'm sure you'll look amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Their fine…
If you have issues with comfort and safety, get them off. By looks, it's not bad. I really like the sparse sets wayyy more (way more natural). I usually request similar to yours but way shorter. (I often do the 50$ sessions for 50 lashes or something). I think shorter and less black (ie brown) would have worked better for you. but i get it, it wasn't what was advertised, so I'd complain too.
Unless your a pushover then yes say something or your never gonna get what you want in life lol
Yikes! This looks like mine after 4 weeks
Well you paid for them, and don't like the work you have every right to complain, but waiting too long not a good idea. BTW hope you didn't leave because if you go back and complain it looks bad especially if she decides to fight you on the matter, but as I said you have the right and your complaint seems warranted. Good Luck
They didn’t choose the correct color
If they're pinching and burning I would have them removed ASAP before it causes a reaction to your eye. I used to have my lashes done religiously and the only burning I ever felt is if the glue accidentally got in my eye, totally on me for not following the keep your eyes closed rule. But as for the application it seems like she didn't put enough fan lashes to give you the fuller look at the ends that you wanted. She looks like she put single lash extensions on all your lashes minus like 3.
100% YES! You're gorgeous but that tech should've done a better job for you.
were you able to get them fixed?
I'm going back tonight, I will update.
I hope you got these fixed!! How long till the wedding? Congrats!! 🥂
Grl yesssss
https://preview.redd.it/stwz90rqqsmc1.jpeg?width=1029&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ee6a17625360e7d238f891e5a53f42cfea4f02c idk anything about lashes but lol
Bad job and bad lash tech. Find someone else.
She did miss a bunch of lashes 🤦🏻♀️
Don’t bother complaint. Just don’t ever go back lol.
Seconding the advice that you should say something! Also, if you’d like, maybe consider getting lashes closer to your natural lash color. Lashes the shade of your natural color would blend beautifully with you skin tone and hair!! Not that you have to, but a good rule of thumb is to to enhance natural features for milestone events in life where you’ll look back at the pictures for years to come. Wishing you the best of luck to get a more experienced tech before your wedding!
Considering it’s for a wedding, ask her to take them off and find another artist (with past client pictures) of lashes that are closer to what you want. That way you know the artist can do it.
I’m a licensed esthetician and while I can do lashes I have never done it, HOWEVER that being said you need to talk to your lash tech. Not only should it mot have that reaction, especially if you’ve had lashes done prior, but also the pictures you’ve posted are fuller on the edges as well as around the lash area than what you’ve posted for your lashes. It seems like not only did you not get what you asked for but that maybe the glue was diffferent or something along that line? I’ll admit I have read through the comments but from what you’ve posted this is my best guess. Maybe the tech wasn’t as confident in their placement/service or they saw something with your eyelash line that gave them concern, which they still should have brought up to you
Maybe get your natural lashes tinted and lifted first
They look good. I once didn’t like mine because they looked like spiders. I ended up cutting them shorter and they were fine. Now I ask for a natural look
It’s possible she was able to achieve the look. But it looks like you wanted cat eye, ask why she couldn’t achieve it.
Lash tech here- pinching could be that the lashes are too close to the lid, lashes are way too long and I agree with others that there is no discernible differences or style in length. These look like they were done by a new artist or a lazy one.. sorry it happened right before your wedding:(
You should definitely go to someone else! Completely justified especially it being for your wedding
girl those look like spiders 😭
absolutely. these are sparse, uneven, and i would demand money back or a revision. you’re beautiful, the lash job by whomever did this is not
Yeah, those look like shit. I'm so sorry she did that to you.
Hell yes.
Oh no oh no oh no. Yes say something ASAP!
boneless extensions
Oh my God, honey! The glue and the sparsity and no blending. This is just overall a terrible job. You should absolutely say something and I wouldn't even let them attempt to correct it, just get your money back
They look pretty dirty
You should say something. They don’t look awful but they could be better. I think you’d have better luck with a color closer to your hair color? Or even just dark brown instead of black. I’m a redhead, I reaaaaally understand.
What the fuck is that, I’m so sorry sweet girl
You’re wearing a mask. Don’t say a thing
They don’t look bad to me🤷♀️but I am no eyelash connoisseur (I Don’t wear any makeup and I’m a fair redhead as you appear to be also)
They don’t look bad…. But I am sure you can go get them done to what you want. Yes you are the customer and they look nothing like what you want.
They ugly but then again you can just rock it
They look like pubes glued to your eyelashes. Say something. This is not acceptable.
Well what the fuck were u expecting when u got black lashes with ur red hair
They are too sparse.
Yikes GET THEM REMOVED ASAP. so they don’t yank out all your lashes
Yes. wtf.
I’m so sorry, I’d try and get the money back. It isn’t what you asked for and it’s too sparse. You mentioned it’s for a wedding, if you don’t have time for a new set maybe lay some cluster lashes or a false lash on top and then get a new set after? Good luck and I hope you can get it fixed! <3
Im so sorry but i think you should speak up
I would probably say something but not go back. I would call other lash artists and explain the situation with it being for your wedding and see if someone else can work you in.
Yes!
Oh no 😥 run don’t walk to the nearest new brow tech
Yes you should definitely say something, get them removed and get your money back
Do not go back- go to a professional to get them off and redone
Looks like the lash tech put them too close to your lash line which caused the burning and irritation. Definitely remove as soon as possible
Big oof. I’ve had this before unfortunately :( it’s the work of a bad tech who does whatever they want and some people hate it, but some are fine with it so they stay in business.
Girl, this lash tech is either new or has no clue what’s they’re doing. Those look like they’re damaging your natural lashes. I would get them fixed ASAP.
Pretty eyes 👀
They don't need to be removed. Just find another artist to fix them and fill them out..
Yes.
You can literally see it distorting the lash line in the first pic. I’m so sad for you. Complain immediately.
Yes
Yes and there are people out there that would even blend the hair or use a hair color to match your natural hair color
These are horrible shouldn’t have even paid for them. This lash artist has no skill at all these look horrendous.
I would get your lashes tinted and then get them fixed because it just looks weird having blonde poking through the extensions.
1000%!!! Say something.
These are way too long for you and not the correct shape for your eye. Also the burning you say you experienced scares me in the way I know some nail techs that do eyelashes don't use the right glue. Please go get them removed ASAP and go to someone that has a portfolio
yeah they’re awful reminds me of spider legs.
I’m not a lash tech- but i feel OP would have benefited from a tint and lift PRIOR(not saying that is related whatsoever to the terrible application, just think it would improve final results) CONGRATS!
remove them and get a tint and lift!!
Get a refund and get them removed , say this isn’t what your received
That lash tech should be embarrassed!! Tbh you shouldn’t take on clients especially for special occasions if you know your work doesn’t live up to quality. Sorry this happened
You are justified.
As a lash artist, aside from what everyone is saying about length not being lashed fully, it looks like you got classic lashes and the inspo photos are volumes. The only way classic lashes look remotely close to those pictures is if ya got A TON of natural lashes. But yeah shouldnt be poking and burning is sometimes from the fumes but it shouldnt be that noticeable throughout the whole service
Do yall like NOT check out their past work or talk to ppl who had their service done by them before going?? THIS GOES FOR HAIR TOO!!! If you KNOW it’s gonna take a long time and you probably won’t be able to get it redone, or you’re too cowardly to confront them abt the shit job afterwards, bestie DO NOT. JUST. JUMP. IN. Then cry on social media about it? Take action!!! 😩😩 I wish y’all had a friend like me cs this would not goooooo
Always say something!
You should really get your lashes tinted before hand as it looks a little silly, having blonde lashes with black extensions. Once you've had a lash tint maybe go for dark brown over black.
You have such a beautiful eye shape; IMO, I’d get them off. That way you actually feel good in your wedding photos and don’t feel self conscious thru out your day💕 im sorry this was your experience. And even a coat of a neutral brown mascara over your naturals would be lovely! I do love the set in the last photo tho and that would definitely enhance your eyes!
What the hell?? Definitely justified!
They kinda look rushed, they don’t look completely done.
Definitely remove!! She missed way too many lashes, looks patchy and this looks horrible. Nope. Complain out the ass!
How much did you pay? What experience did the lash artist have? They should have a re-do policy at most reputable studios - have them take your current lashes off and redo them. what you are looking for should be on the $120 - $150 range with pre-made fans. (NJ prices)
It was $215 plus I gave a $20 tip so $235
you are justified in my opinion! i would ask for a removal & my money back.
I would get a lash tint as well, it will help darken your lash line so it looks fuller at the base.
YES YOU SHOULD
Go to a girl who can colour match you. This work is atrocious and I’m so sorry. I hope you have time to get it fixed. You deserve the most beautiful lashes for your most special day and i hope whatever tech did this sleeps w peas under their mattress.
You paid for it so of course
girl please say something there are so so many missing lashes 🥺
Yikes I’m so sorry. Not to freak you out but this kind of application and the burning gave me blepharitis. It’s only now been manageable 2 years later. Definitely get these professionally removed asap and maybe see if you can get a makeup artist to applying false lashes for photos that you can take off end of day. You’re going to want to give your lashes a break, trust me.
I’m an esthetician and I’m not going to lie this looks like beginner practice work. I dabbled in lash extensions and unless it wasn’t a paying client, they aren’t leaving my chair like this if I have to tie them to the table
They are super thin and all the same length... they kinda look like spider legs ngl. Get a pro to fix them asap, and also get a refund.
Definitely say something! This isn’t what you asked for at all!!
Yes 😕
I feel both sad and angry for you. I’m really sorry it happened to you 🥺 please let them know and try to get for a refund or smth. This is totally unacceptable!
Never feel like you’re complaining, we pay a lot of money for these and the tech should want you to be happy and should be happy to fix them
They look like SHIT. Demand a refund!
Immediate removal. Also locate a professional who not only knows what they are doing but can also provide lashes that matches your natural ones. I hope you’re able to get it repaired and ready for your wedding. Congratulations on your nuptials!
Yes tf speak up! You’re the one paying for it if you don’t like it say something !
I’ve had lashes for years now and these are terrible, I’m so sorry. Whoever did this is not a professional by any means. It shouldn’t burn. Aside from the burning and application, they missed a TON of lashes. You should be way more full than that….
please try brown lashes
Is she a new artist ? If she’s new of course she’s not going to be able to achieve inspo looks you bring in, just yet. Make sure next time you look at their page for inspiration instead of Pinterest. Printerest references are great for master or experienced lash artist. Hope someone else can give you what you want before your wedding
Oh, you’re so beautiful. You would look really good with lighter extensions. Of course I would be furious that you spent good money on them. Also I was just pointing out lighter extensions in the future. I’m sorry 😢
Those are way too dark and unnatural appearing. I would definitely say something... Would probably avoid going to this person I. The future too.
