I was invited by Private Room, a beauty salon well situated at International Plaza (Tanjong Pagar area) to try out their eyelash extension services.
They shared with me that they use eyelash extensions imported all the way from Korea. nice~!!
It was easy getting to Private Room since it is conveniently located just next to Tanjong Pagar mrt station (exit C).
Easy on the eye colors like tiffany blue, light grey and white and with wooden furniture in its set up. There are only 2 beds, so I can imagine that they must get quite booked on peak days/hours!
This is me before (to show you the accuracy and effects of the eyelash extension, there will be an ‘after’ shot later which was taken at the salon as well).
If you have any lashes from previous eyelash extension services, they can also help you remove and clean before starting on the session.
To protect your eyes during the session, there is a eye mask for the under-eye area.
Then strand by strand, each eyelash extension is attached on the eyelash area.
The therapist was gentle and I just had to lie there, relax and kept my eyes closed.
This is after! Check out how lush the lashes were!
I chose the kawaii look – where the center area of the eye has slightly longer eyelash extensions than the ends. This is supposed to make my eyes look bigger (yay!).
There is also the sexy look where the eyelash extensions are longer at the outer ends of the eyes.
So…. how? I definitely love the eyelash extensions and how I felt prettier after!
Naturally I have pretty ok long lashes, but definitely doesn’t beat having extension done.
In fact, I have been rather addicted to getting my eyelash extension services since about 1 year ago (you might remember my earlier post on Eye Studio Tokyo) as it really makes my eyes look bigger and I definitely look more ‘ready’ to go out of the house.
Many who know me personally would know that I am a rather minimalist when it comes to make up. So these eyelash extensions really play a big part for me.
It is also nice how I get constant compliments about my eyelashes. They find it natural and many actually think its my own lashes!
Some of the great things I like about Private Room is that their appointments slots are much better where one can choose after work hours like evenings on weekdays.
Their prices are also very reasonable. Depending on the package you get, the session starts from $60. This is one of the most value-for-money packages for eyelash extensions.
Location..location..location :) I love the central location and the easy access from the mrt station.
I often get many questions about eyelash extensions so I hope this will be helpful :) do leave a comment if you have any!
- Does the eyelash extension feel uncomfortable?
No, in fact I hardly noticed it is there. I have used faux eyelashes before and those felt heavy. These eyelash extensions are comfortable as long as you don’t attempt to rub your eyes.
- Does it cause my own eyelashes to drop?
I have heard of such stories before. But in my own experiences, I have not experience an issue with this. At least it does not feel significant to me.
If you take a look at the earlier photo where I have yet to put on eyelash extensions, you can see that my eyelashes are all in place even after the removal of the eyelash extensions (from my previous session).
- How can I wash my face?
Personally I am very protective of my eyelash extension :P I want them to last as much as possible until the next beauty season. So I wash my face using face sponge. You can get such sponges for about $5 (2pcs) at Watsons store.
I started this the same time I started eyelash extensions about 1 year.
The additional plus point is that my face is actually cleaner and I know this because my breakouts have reduced significantly.
