Why did I get ridiculously unnatural eyelash extensions?…read more Well, it's because without make-up I look like the landlord lady from the movie Kingpin. It's not pretty. I know it's not pretty. And I normally don't even care, but I got sucked into this crazy idea that I wanted to look like a girl even when I didn't have cake-load of make-up on + they had a really stellar September special price for a full set, so I went for it. Regrets? At first, yes, I wasn't exactly sold on X-tina's after having come from a previous few experiences as a posh lash salon in the city ($$$$$$), but now that I've become a regular and gotten settled into the routine and vibe, I'm more at ease with it. It's located in a kind of run-down strip mall that I'd passed no less than a million times before in Palatine and never noticed. They also have a location in the south suburbs (either Palos or Orland or Frankfort, I can't remember). You need to make an appointment, no walk-ins, and you can do so by calling their number and leaving a voicemail, or messaging them on facebook. From there Xtina will match you with an eyelash technician and you can get a time/date squared away from there. They do book quite a bit out, so expect at least a week or two, or even more in between your call and first appointment. I see Monika, who is young, but an absolute peach. I'll be real, the first time I came I was kind of weary of the suite, only because, like I said, the place I'd previously gone to in the city was extremely high-end, to the point where I could only go a few times and then I basically broke. Everything in the place was immaculate and white and quiet and it was just much more sterile and you definitely paid a premium for it... like, $150 every 3 weeks. Yikes. So obviously, that didn't last long and I could only go a few times after purchasing a Groupon-type thing. I then went close to 2 years, and decided I wanted to try lashes again, but see if I could find a more affordable spot. Xtina's Lash Extensions... BINGO! They had a September special for a full set for $89, and prices range for fills based on how long in between appointments you go. For myself, my lash extensions don't last long. I only wear make-up maybe once or twice a week, so I don't think it's from taking my make-up off, but I do sleep on my face and I think because of that that I can't go more than a week and a half without getting down to the point where there's basically only 1 eyelash left. I now schedule regular appointments every week, which runs me $20, and Monika puts on a full new set for me each time -- a steal! I just recently upgraded to the thinner mink lashes for $10 more a fill. They weigh a little less and look more natural than the more synthetic ones. Getting your lashes done here isn't the most relaxing thing ever, but I have to say, I really enjoy hearing the lash technicians tell stories and gossip about their personal lives. I work from home, alone, and I really miss hearing those kinds of human interactions and while it makes me sound crazy, listening to their personal business is one of my favorite parts of coming in. Honestly. It takes about an hour and the lashes aren't as precise as the place I went in the past (that would take about 3 hours), the lashes are put on in more of a grouping-type fashion, but it only takes and hour and while it doesn't look quite as natural as the other place i visited, I have to weigh it out with what's a better value overall, and the prices here just can't be beat, plus the girls here are much more down to Earth that the judgy girls at the city place... even if sometimes it's very obvious that they've just eaten a meatball sub and now have their hands all over your face (not my favorite thing, but that price). This place is low key, a little run-down, but mega affordable. WARNING: You get to pick from different lengths and curves of lashes, but when it comes time for the ends to be trimmed (at the end of the appointment) it WILL feel like you're a breath away from having your eyeball cut out, but so far, that's never happened so I have to believe that it's just a feeling you get, and not something that will actually happen. I think it's that when it comes to your eyes, it feels like the snips are a lot closer than they actually are. Overall, I like this place and I'll continue to come in for my weekly appointments for as long as I have $20-$30 to spare. Basically, I'd rather skip a meal and get lashes here than not and be stuck with my beady-eyed Kingpin land-lady look. Worth it.

I got an awesome groupon for this place (there was two options), $75 for a full set of lash…read moreextensions or $89 for a full set of lash extensions with one lash fill. Of course I got the full set with a fill in because that is such a great deal (fill ins cost $35). There is two locations for this place, one being in Palatine and the other in Orland Park (14475 John Humphrey Dr, Suite H, Orland Park, Illinois 60462) and there are 3 lash experts you can call to set up an appointment with. I called on Monday, February 18th and booked an appointment with Monika at noon on Wednesday, February 20th. Wednesday came, and me being the over tired student I am, I overslept my alarm. I woke up half an hour into my appointment and to a text/call from Monika reminding me of my appointment and asking if I needed clearer directions and if everything was ok. Luckily I called her as soon as I woke up, explained the situation and she still took me in the very same day! When I got there, it wasn't hard to find you just had to go into the second floor of the office building and they have their own suite. Monika went over with me the process and I filled out a form and such and then we got started. Now this isn't my first time getting eyelash extensions, and let me tell you I was so ecstatic that this place actually let me see the lash options I had and I got to choose the ones I wanted! After choosing the best ones for me (not too long because I constantly wear glasses and I didn't want them to keep hitting my lenses, but curled enough so that you could still see how full and noticeable they were), I laid down and asked Monika to take a before and after picture and she happily obliged and even took some on her phone too, and off to work she went. The process took about an hour and it wasn't awkward or anything. Christina, the owner, was working on other clients next to us so there was plenty of talking and laughter and an overall great atmosphere. When I was done, my eyelashes looked SO amazing! I am so thrilled because at the other two places I went to, they couldn't even compare to how glamourous they looked now. Monika also gave me an instruction and a FAQ sheet and a free eyelash wand as well and said she will call me in two weeks to see how the lashes are and to set up the fill in appointment. Needless to say, I will most definitely be back here as soon as I am due for a fill in and I recommend this place to all women who are looking to get those awesome lashes without breaking the bank!

A good one simply means that you are just as consistent with what you do before work each day as you are before you go to bed. It's not about having or using expensive lotions, serums or creams. More about loving the skin you have and pampering it. There are definitely times when you will have to invest in yourself by using a more luxurious product. Whatever product that may be, look for a dupe; one that works just as good with similar ingredients for a lighter price tag. Walking back to my car from a previous appointment, I met a young lady that introduced herself as Paige who offered me a skin analysis. I happily accepted, went through the process and scheduled a Diamond Glow Facial for a later date. On the day of my appointment, we started with another skin analysis. She then thoroughly, went over each of the steps in this special facial. She worked her magic to cleanse, extract, exfoliate and hydrate. Such a pampering experience. So relaxing. It's always hard for me to get off these warm and cozy tables. I managed. Lol. At first glance in the bathroom mirror where there was more light, revealed a glowy, fresh face. I absolutely love it.

Well, it turns out that a new Lash Spot has opened out in the "burbs', in downtown Hinsdale, no less.

Now I was blessed with my mom's great eyelashes so I didn't think extensions or a perm were in order for me- but I wanted to go along and check this place out . . .afterall . . .a little glam in anyone's life can "change the game" if you know what I mean! We walked in a few minutes before her appointment time. Know that if you cancel and don't meet their 24 hour cancellation period- that your credit card will still be charged service or not- so get there! We were warmly greeted and as I settled in to wait- I was given a brief tour of the place and told that they could "open up my eyes" even more with a few strategically placed lashes on the outer eyes. The cost for this procedure runs $75 - $150 depending on the skill level of the technician. I passed, but maybe for that next big night out . . . . . . . Oh- and if you want to go out with a full set of eyelash extensions that last about a month . . .the going rate is $250 - $500 again dependent upon the level of the technician. This process takes anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to complete, as the lashes are put on one at a time, but you should see the way you look when you walk out. A woman was finishing up when we were walking in, and she looked fantastic. About this time- my friend's "perm" was done, she paid her $70 and we were on our way. But not before I glanced in the mirror and at that moment knew that I would be back. After all, a little glam is good for the soul!
