When I first started working at a school on base, I often found myself almost hypnotized by the lashes of one of the teachers I worked with. I knew I should be listening to her as she shared lesson planning ideas, but I couldn’t stop watching her blink! Every time I talked to her I walked away wondering how anyone could be blessed with such thick, gorgeous eyelashes. Then one day, she caught me staring. “I have a total lash crush on you,” I admitted. She winked at me and said, “I’ll share my secret with you later.”
That afternoon she came by the classroom and gave me Sana’s card. My life hasn’t been the same since. I’m not kidding you. From the day I discovered Petals Eyelash Extensions, I spend almost zero time getting ready in the morning. I have naturally light features, so for most of my life I refused to leave the house without mascara on. I remember once in high school not having enough time to put mascara on and all day people asked me if I was sick. That was pretty much the last time I did that. Now I wake up every morning with long, thick lashes and somehow that makes the rest of my make up routine seem almost unnecessary, unless I’m feeling extra fancy!
Eyelash extensions are applied lash by lash to your existing lashes to give you longer, thicker, darker lashes while still maintaining a natural look. These soft, synthetic lashes are highly customizable, so you can choose both the length and the curl of your new look. I personally always go with the C-curl and I’ve tried lengths varying from 7mm to 10mm, though my favorite look (and my go-to now) is 7mm transitioning to 8mm at the corners of my eyes. Sana will work with you to help you discover what best compliments your eye shape and color.
Your first visit is $70, which you can pay in cash or with a credit card and every visit after that is $25 if you go every 2 weeks, $40 if you go every three weeks, or $55 if you go monthly. Everyone sheds their natural lashes at different rates, so its completely up to you how often you visit.
