A year ago, I did my first eyelash extension at Espoir in Shibuya. My experience at Espoir was really good. I instantly fell in love with how convenient it was to have extensions. I can sleep, bathe, do everything with them on and there isn't a need for mascara.

 Finally, I found an authentic Japanese eyelash & nail salon in Singapore ! I was also super lucky to get a slot on Thursday because Thursday is the day that Nao Go-san (the director of Graceous) does the lashes ! Nao-san is really skillful and careful making my extensions. I felt so comfortable and relaxed letting her do my lashes. Nao-san is so very patient and kind. The service at Graceous is so good.


Front Entrance

Ambience


Graceous has a very cozy homely feel, very soothing and relaxing. I get to listen to nice indie/lounge background music while my lashes are being extended.

Consultation Time
Nao-san does the basics of quizzing me on general questions related to my physical health condition.
Next - Nao-san studies my natural lashes in detail. She gets me to pan my eyes from up to down - following the motion of her hand, in order for her to assess the shape and nature of my lashes. She also asks about my daily makeup routine and suggests the most suitable style for me.

Thirdly: I get to choose the lashes based on my personal preference - there are a few areas to consider: Style, Curl, Length:

Upper Lashes

Style
- Gorgeous (unlimited lashes)
- Natural (80 lashes)
- Quick (60 lashes)

I told Nao-san I wanted something wild & wow ! So we both agreed to choose the Gorgeous style. Nao-san also mentioned that for the lashes at the far left and right ends of the eyes, these lashes are longer and fan out - so the effect makes the lashes very visible.

Curl
→ J Curl
→ C Curl
→ L Curl
→ SC Curl (which is not in the menu list)

Nao-san suggested the SC curl which is more curly & sexier than the C curl ! Yes - I chose the SC curl !

Length
8mm-13mm

Lower Lashes
20 or 30 or 40 or 50 lashes

I'm thrilled that Graceous does lower lashes extensions too. I decided to experiment with 20 lashes first. The result turned out so good - I will certainly do more lower lashes next time !


Arigatou~gozaimasu !

Nao Go-san is so knowledgeable and helpful. She is very skillful. The treatment is absolutely painless. When starting on the lower lash extension, there was a slight irritation, but that went away very quickly and my eyes got used to it. Through out the appointment, there wasn't any smell of glue or chemicals.
Nao-san also gave me a guide on how to look after my eye lashes. Get your copy from her when u do your extensions at Graceous.



  I really love the final result ! The lashes can last for 2 to 4 weeks and you can touch up at Graceous to maintain it.
Looks so natural...

hahaha ! I just can't stop admiring my lashes!

Close up view ! You can see how the lashes are longer and fan out at the ends. Nice.



Thanks for reading ! Good night !

Beauty → Novalash Eyelash Extension @Lolita

Lolita - The Beauty Studio
6 Raffles Boulevard
#B1-12 Marina Square
Singapore
Click-To-Call: 63389981


As you know - my make up skill is pretty poor especially so when using fake lashes. I can spend an hour trying to paste it to my eyelids but still FAIL !!! 

I can't tahan anymore ! I did some research to find out any faster & painless way to make my eyelashes nicer. The answer: EYELASH EXTENSION @ Lolita Group!! (<< click me)


Reasons why I chose Lolita group:
  1. The only beauty studio that I didn't see any negative comments on. 
  2. They are using Novalash (which is the safest, healthiest product & technique to enhance a woman's natural beauty!) 
  3. Painless !
  4. Most important of all - it is WATER-PROOF ! (this is pretty basic as I am currently learning swimming)
  5. All the staff here are well trained & certified !
 
Cutting the long story short, let's see how they do the eyelash extension:
 
1. Paste eye sticker, so the beautician can apply lashes accurately (painless during the whole process)
2. Selecting and using different lengths of lashes for different parts of the eyelid (gives you a super natural look)
3. Lolita also uses a clean & safer formula adhesive (as our eye area is very sensitive - the glue must be safe & harmless and not irritate the eyes)
4. Applying the lashes stalk by stalk (the beautician painstakingly does both eyes at the same time. She compares both eyes while applying the lashes instead of finished 1 eye and then start to do the other eye. In this way, both eyes' lashes look equally balanced) 
5. She ensures every lash won't tangle together (beautician blows dry the eyes & sprays a little water to make sure the lashes will hold better. It's a totally painless process.)

Results: (me without make up, please ignore my pimples)




Looks very natural, I love the "wing lashes" at the end corner of each eye. I look quite pretty even without make up hahaha !

Aftercare:
1. Don't go swimming, steaming or sauna for first 24 hours
2. Avoid using Glycol facial products (such as make-up removers, masks and cleansers)
3. Normally the lashes can last around 3-4 weeks (you can make another appointment for refill and touch-up)
 
My beautician is Jelina. Go look for her to do your eyes. She was really gentle & merticulous & careful & friendly ! Has very steady hands. I'm really pleased with the quality of her service.
 
Get the beauty without doing the damage
