Lovely Looks by Laura

Worst experience ever!!! This is a scam, guys!!! This woman is an old, grumpy, unprofessional hag, that needs to retire!!! But before that, her business needs to be closed! Not kidding. She applies (attention!) cheap Las Vegas whore looking fake sets of Eylashes that are sold for three dollars in any Beaty store. Those are not mink individual lashes as she writes on the groupon. Moreover, she literally doesn’t know how to do her job. The result was so ugly, I was shocked ! So I asked her to remove it immoderately, which she did, along with my eyelashes!!! I was crying like crazy over there!!! What a piece of sh… Laura, I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for you. Honestly, if I knew how to raise a complaint to a police, I would do that. I left the salon with red bold swollen eyelids, and face wet from the tears!!! Laura, you are disgusting piece of …, I wish they close your business!!! Extremely unprofessional

i had to give one star to continue with the review.
i never had my eyelashes done but i did read about what to expect.
the lashes were uneven and clumpy. one fell off on the drive home!
they looks so awful i tried to remove them that evening. it has been a nightmare so far!
DO NOT PURCHASE AT ANY COST!
cheap = cheap… lesson learned!

Purchased a Groupon and the only good thing about it, is that I did not have to pay full price for this. It was a bit misleading as I’ve had lashes done before at several locations throughout NYC, and all the locales have done the individual lash application. Laura does it from her home, on a recliner and sticks clumps of lashes with heavy glue. After I left my eyelids felt so heavy and the lashes looked so artificial, not at all the natural look of individuals. I was so disappointed that I went home and removed them. I do not recommend this place if you want a nice and natural look of eyelashes, but if you are into the Vegas Showgirl makeup, then this might be your place.

This old hag needs to retire. Doesn’t have a clue to what eyelash extensions on. If you see a groupon for her for eyelash extensions DO NOT BUY! Laura is CLUELESS! She gives CVS quality cluster lashes with surgical glue making these crappy lashes impossible to get off! I had to pay a real eyelash professional to get them off. She laughed and said «what the hell did that lady do?» She said she is not supposed to use surgical glue for cluster lashes. Laura is unfriendly, unprofessional, miserable woman. Does not have the slightest personality for dealing with the public. Why oh why did I give you a tip?!? WTF was I thinking?!? That’s ok. Go buy yourself another pack of cigarettes you fraud! Learn what real eyelash extensions are or quit advertising for them. She is a joke!

I got my eyelashes by Lovely Laura Looks at A Cut Above Salon on Richmond Avenue. THe lashes are terrible and very cheap. The glue she used felt more like cement. My eyes were burning and she told me not to worry, it would go away. When I got home I could see clumps of this glue which felt more like cement on the lashes. But that isn’t the worse part… as some lashes fell off you were left with noticeable gaps since she doesn’t use individual lashes. If you try to remove the lashes with oil. good luck, it’s not happening. By the time I was able to remove these cheap lashes my own lashes were gone too! I’m praying and hoping my lashes will grow back because after much research there is a possibility they will not. This was definitely not a smart business transaction. Just to think that I paid someone to destroy my own lashes. Ladies please do your research before allowing anyone to glue eyelash extensions on your lashes. This lady is doesn’t know what she is doing.

I have the same story!!! I had eyelash extensions put in by Laura. She glued my eye shut. After fixing that problem, I kept telling her that my right eye hurt. She ripped out the lashes and put in a new set. My right eye kept hurting and there were huge clumps of glue (I pointed this out to her and she said that it was my own tears causing the clumping). I went on vacation the next day and my right eye hurt every time I blinked for the following week. When I returned from vacation, a set of eyelashes fell out and took my own eyelashes with them. I went to a salon where they spent 5 HOURS trying to remove the lashes. They went through 3 bottles of professional grade eyelash extension adhesive remover and believed that the glue that was used was not the proper glue for eyelash extensions. After 5 hours, the eyelashes were ripped out, my eyelids were swollen and painful and I lost about 70% of my own eyelashes. I cried the whole weekend and will NOT go back.

I got my eyelashes done by Lovely Looks by Laura at A Cut Above Salon on Richmond Ave and Sylvia St. It was the worst salon experiences I have ever had. Four of my friends and I went to get our eyelashes done for a event, the same day but at different times. The whole process took an hour and 10 minutes for me and it was very uncomfortable. The process consisted of Laura taping your bottom lashes so they don’t get glue on them, then you close your eyes so she glues individual pieces to your top lashes, and then the worst part when my eyes were glued together and it felt like she basically ripped them apart. They looked good but very done up and not natural. Perfect for an event but not for everyday in my opinion.
When I got to my car, I was afraid to drive home since my eyes were hurting me so much. I ended up driving since I had no other option and I live under 5 minutes away. When I got home, I realized that a few pieces of the fake lashes were poking me in the eye (I also realized that I was missing many of my bottom lashes). Since the glue was so strong, the only thing I could think to do was use small scissors to cut those few pieces that were poking me. To me having scissors so close to my eye was a better option than going back to the salon. Thank God, I succeeded.
After that everything was fine, until about a week later when a few lashes fell out and it looked very uneven. I decided that it was time to take the rest off, so I used oil like the lady said and just basically soaked them and tried to get them off without pulling. But nothing happened. It is now 3 weeks later and I still look very uneven, I have not been able to get any more off. My other friends didn’t have as bad of an experience at the salon, but are now going through the same process of getting them off. None of us are happy and would never go back. One of my friends paid a different professional to take them off and that person said our lashes were done wrong and the glue was way too strong. She is now missing many of her eyelashes, so I’m afraid to even touch mine.
It’s difficult to find businesses close to me with customer reviews, so I am writing this so that others are aware.
