Lash Extensions
by Cherry Pacheco-Uy
Are you ready for lash extensions? Look closely at your fave celebs’ photos. Don’t you just love their long, full, and curly lashes? Now you can have them, too!
What exactly are lash extensions? They are semi-
permanent eye lashes glued to your real eye lashes and eye lids to make lashes look fuller and longer.
How are they different from falsies? Falsies or false lashes are attached to the lids, separate from the lashes, and are usually a whole strip. Extensions, on the other hand, are attached individually, and are incorporated into your own lashes so that you do not see where your own lashes end and the extensions begin. False lashes are also meant to be removed after a day, while extensions last longer.
How long do they last? Usually a few weeks, depending on the skill of your salon technician, the quality of glue, and how you take care of them.
How much do they cost? Prices vary from P1500 (Ricky Reyes) to P3000 (Franck Provost Salon, Jupiter Street, Bel-Air, Makati).
Yes, not exactly cheap. I, for one, refuse to spend that much on temporary lashes, and so I kept asking around. Finally, through a friend (thanks, Monica!) I found a low-key salon that has been doing lash extensions since the 70’s.
The salon: GRACE LAGMAN
Price: P420
Location: N. Garcia (formerly Reposo) corner Baler Streets, Makati City (They have a branch in QC. Please call them for location and directions)
Tel: 890-2550 (Makati)
Business Hours: Mon-Sat, 8am to 6pm
Look for Olive or Nanette, tell them Cherry sent you.
What to expect
They can do different styles, thickness, lengths, depending on which you prefer, and the size and shape of your eyes. For best results, bring a picture of the kind of lashes or effect you like. Of course, they’ll advise you whether it will suit you or not.
My first extensions were full and thick, and they were perfect for me since I wear quite heavy eye makeup, especially eye liner. Once I took off my makeup, however, I felt kinda funny–a little bit too wide-eyed. If you do not usually wear makeup, you would be better off with a more natural style. Because I was not used to not scratching my eyes especially first thing in the morning, my extensions started to fall apart by Day 9.
On my second visit, (Day 11) I decided to try the wispier brown lashes. I found them a little too light–they were not visible enough. Also, since the glue is black and not brown, it made my lashes two-toned-black at the roots, then brown midway up to the tips. I ended up coating them with black water-proof mascara. Since I’m more careful now, looks like this second batch will last two weeks or more.

September 14th, 2006 at 12:15 pm

September 14th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
I want!
September 14th, 2006 at 5:55 pm
i’ve been longing to have lash extensions but find it real expensive for it to last just 2 weeks. thanks for posting this one! now i can have my lashes extended! really affordable!
September 14th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
Wow i love to have lash extensions since mine is kinda short. But can you find out if u know of somebody who does it here in our province, Bacolod?
September 14th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
this news is great. but i also wanna share something i’ve discovered to you gals… if your lashes do not really need extensions, just curling, you may wanna try eyelash perming. i’ve tried it and it really works! the procedure would only take 40+ mins. and you’re lying down while its being done so hassle-free. it will last for a max of 3 months and you literally don’t need to put on mascara or use curlash anymore. plus, here’s the best part about it… it will only cost you more or less 300 so its really cheap. the only negative comment i can say about this is that you may feel a stinging sensation while the procedure is being done but after, say hello to the world with your lovely lashes! haha… i got my eyelash perm done in F Salon. i see a lot of branches around so i guess it would be convenient to a lot of you gals… hope i helped u all. cheers!

hey!
that’s just a few blocks from where i live! from JP Rizal
long lashes come to mama!
September 17th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
whats the difference of lash extensions with eyelash perming? which one is better? kasi sa lets face it daw 250 lang eyelash perming.
September 18th, 2006 at 8:59 am
Hi Aiza. Eyelash perming is different from eyelash extension because no additional eyelashes are put into your eyes. They just curl your existing eyelashes. I haven’t tried eyelash perming myself, but I know of a famous model/columnist who had it done in Let’s Face It, and she seemed happy enough with it to plan a second trip
September 19th, 2006 at 4:04 am
hmmm…. if the extension just looks like that in the pics, then i would say it isnt that nice. Probably because I’ve seen a whole lot better with my friend’s. She had them done in Cebu at Skinglow Skin Whitening Center & Spa (3rd floor at Old Tanchan Bldg over at Capitol St.) and wow grabe ung effect. they look really natural and you dont even have to put mascara on. I wish I had a pic to show you guys coz its hundreds of leagues better than that in the pic. But yeah, its more expensive (though they have a 2 month free retouch. you can even have it retouched everyday.) but then i think they’re more worth it.
September 20th, 2006 at 1:19 pm
eyelash perming is a process in which they curl your lashes to achieve the “convex” look sans the use of an curlash for a longer period of time. the eyelash extension, as the root word goes, is a process wherein they extend your eyelashes by means of putting hair onto the tips, encompassing such tips so it will look natural.
so, if you wanna achieve that effortless eyelash curls, then you should go with the perming. on the other hand, if you wanna lengthen and volumize your short dull-looking lashes, better have them extended.

I tried eyelash extension before kinda cool, but it was so irritating specially when you’re lying in bed and sleeping, kasi di pde tumagilid masakit pag dumikit sa unan o kaya nagalaw, so you have to sleep face up.
Then one time, it started to fall one by one, i pulled each fake eyelashes where i also accidentally pulled my natural eyelashes. So now, i ended up with very thin and short eyelashes. lesson from my story…don’t pull your eyelashes. But well, thanks to my ever reliable shu uemura eyelash curler, it makes my eyelashes cute though it’s short heheh..

NovaLash has sunk to a new low. Their web site now proclaims at the top of their home page that “NovaLash is the ONLY lash extension product that is AEWCA-approved”. One is left wondering who is AEWCA? I did some checking on this. It is the “American Extended-Wear Cosmetics Association”. Their web site is http://www.ae-wca.org. Their web site “looks official” and “sounds official”. It “warns” against using any eyelash extension product that is not made by NovaLash.
To understand first hand, the deceptive nature of NovaLash, please visit http://www.DNSstuff.com. This is a public website that provides information about who registers and owns the domain name for websites. On the DNSstuff.com website, go to the third box down on the left column where it says, “WHOIS lookup”.
In this box, type in the domain name for NovaLash, which is: http://www.lashextensions.com Repeat this with the domain name for this official looking site: http://www.ae-wca.org
You will quickly see that the President of NovaLash, Sophy Merszei, registered and owns BOTH websites.
Imagine the mentality of someone, like Ms. Merszei, who would conceive of the idea of creating an official looking web site, call it something that sounds impartial like the “American Extended-Wear Cosmetics Association” – and then pretend that it is meaningful that NovaLash is the only lash extension product that is approved by this organization.
Come on, Ms. Merszei. You should be ashamed of your deception.
Please visit http://www.DNSstuff.com soon. Ms. Merszei is obviously unaware that the entire planet can easily find proof of her deceptive practices with a few keystrokes. I am sure that she will soon figure out how to remove her name as the domain owner of http://www.as-wca.org . Please see this for yourself quickly.
On a side note, I have witnessed first hand the tremendous quality problems that NovaLash has had with their products. Furthermore, it is difficult to get NovaLash customer service to answer the phone to make a complaint. But don’t take my word for it. If you want to understand the general level of disgust with this company, please go to their website, click on “Find Us” then select “NovaLash Professionals”. You will find over 200 names listed of actual NovaLash customers. I invite you to randomly call any 5 or 10 of those listed on Nova’s own site and simply ask them what they think about the company. You will probably be shocked at what you hear.
NovaLash has used scare tactics about the safety of competitor’s products in order to market themselves. Can you trust anything that Ms. Merszei might say given the deception that she is willing to stoop to? If NovaLash was really concerned about safety, I believe they would raise their standards and REQUIRE, not just recommend, hands-on training to buy their product. NovaLash only recently began to sell only to licensed salons, probably in response to a lawsuit. Prior to this, anyone with a credit card could buy NovaLash products. I believe it is irresponsible to sell to untrained, unlicensed people and suggests that NovaLash is more interested in making a quick buck than in safety or the long term health of the eyelash extension industry.

I was in Manila last month and went to a small, no-frills salon in front of Max Fried Chicken QC (Scout area). The lash extension cost me only P500 with extra P30 for eyebrow cleaning. My extensions came out long, thick and so fabulous. Most importantly, it lasted for nearly 4 weeks. I used to go to Grace Lagman in Manila back in the 80’s, but this place is better!
September 25th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
i’ve tried once with ms. jackie..she has her own clinic at quirino,mla near osmeña highway..she is very good & i only paid 800! my ‘lashes’ stayed for 2 weeks and came back to her clinic to ‘retouch’ it..I’ve known her thru cosmo mag
September 26th, 2006 at 12:11 am

October 4th, 2006 at 9:47 pm

How long does the lash extension procedure take?

In response to a recent blog posting regarding the integrity of NovaLash and its products, let me say that thousands of satisfied customers can tell you our company produces and sells only the highest-quality eyelash extension products. NovaLash is the only company offering formaldehyde-free adhesives, keeping consumers safe from potential allergic reactions and any associated cancer risk. Formaldehyde is not something you want to put in your eyes. As the only American-made lash extension product on the market using U.S. pharmaceutical grade (USP-Class VI) ingredients for greater purity, NovaLash extensions are only distributed to licensed professionals, guaranteed.
I started NovaLash in 2004 because, as a molecular biologist and a cosmetic chemist, I saw a need to create a formaldehyde-free eyelash adhesive. NovaLash has continued to grow its business exponentially year over year, due to the high quality and safe nature of its products.
Professionals using NovaLash are encouraged to attend hands-on training on the application of the lash extensions. NovaLash offers an eyelash extension training and certification workshop, as well as a training video for those unable to attend the workshop.
Regarding the American Extended-Wear Cosmetics Association (AEWCA), I am one of seven proud and active board members. Part of my duty as a board member was to locate and contract a web designer. Hence why my name is affiliated with the URL. Membership in AEWCA is restricted to doctors and scientists with a minimum education level of three years of postgraduate work and/or 10 years experience in cosmetic safety testing. The consumer safety restrictions and testing regulations are under the direction of Dr. Max Plikus, President of the AEWCA, not me. His primary goal is to review the safety, quality and performance of products such as cosmetic tattoo pigments, lash extension adhesives and removers, and sunless tanning products for the benefit of consumers.
Currently, NovaLash is the only A.E.W.C.A.-approved lash extension product, although the A.E.W.C.A. encourages other lash extension companies to undergo the independent testing necessary to receive certification. Why haven’t other manufactures applied for certification? Is it because they would not meet the stringent qualifications that protect your health? All lash extension manufacturers with ISO-9000 facility inspection certifications and test data are eligible to apply for membership in this organization.
I encourage anyone with any questions or concerns to contact me at NovaLash, 713-520-5848 or Sophy.Merszei@yahoo.com or the A.E.W.C.A. at 323-821-0182.

Ms. Merszei,
Thank you for replying to the blog posting regarding the integrity of NovaLash and its products. While I appreciate your reply, some of your statements raise questions that I, and other beauty professionals have, that need to be answered objectively.
I am a Registered Nurse, and an eyelash extension professional. I love providing eyelash extensions as a service and my clients love them. In fact, I have tried several eyelash extension companies including yours in my effort to provide the best.
The intention if this blog entry is not to bash your company or any other. The intention of this entry is to ask you objective (factual) questions in an effort to understand more.
Ms. Merszei, in your blog entry you state:
“NovaLash is the only company offering formaldehyde-free adhesives, keeping consumers safe from potential allergic reactions and any associated cancer risk.“
Ms Merszei, please provide us (via this blog) scientific evidence that your adhesive is the only formaldehyde-free adhesive.
And, please provide us with scientific evidence that your adhesive is in fact formaldehyde free. From my research into cyanoacrylate medical adhesives, I find that a small amount of formaldehyde is found in all cyanoacrylate adhesives. In fact, higher concentrations of formaldehyde may be found in many cosmetic and household items that we use everyday, such as nail polish, shampoo, dishwashing liquid and cosmetic powders.
Ms. Merszei, on your website you state the following: “We’re happy to provide all prospective distributors and beauty therapists with independent laboratory results verifying the safety of our ingredients.”
Ms Merszei, please provide us with the independent laboratory results verifying the safety of your ingredients. Please include the lab results that verify that your adhesives are 100% formaldehyde free.
On your website, you claim that your glue is patented. Ms Merszei, please provide us with the patent number of your glue. I searched the US patent office at http://www.uspto.gov and could not locate any patents or patents pending for your adhesives or any other adhesives for eyelash extensions. Is your glue really patented and, if so, is it patented for some use OTHER THAN eyelash extensions?
Ms. Merszei, on your blog entry you state: “I started NovaLash in 2004 because, as a molecular biologist and a cosmetic chemist, I saw a need to create a formaldehyde-free eyelash adhesive.”
Ms Merszei, I and many others who first purchased your kit in 2005 received the PURPLE-BOTTLE Asian-manufactured adhesive. This purple-bottle adhesive was included in other eyelash extension kits readily available online from multiple sources at that time. Many eyelash extension professionals reading this blog remember this adhesive. As you know, this adhesive had strong fumes and caused tearing and burning and was probably not formaldehyde-free.
Ms. Merszei, if in fact you “started NovaLash in 2004” because you “saw a need to create a formaldehyde-free eyelash adhesive”, why did you start out selling the inferior and irritating Asian made purple-bottle adhesive in 2004 and most of 2005?
Ms. Merszei, on your blog entry you state: “Professionals using NovaLash are encouraged to attend hands-on training on the application of the lash extensions. NovaLash offers an eyelash extension training and certification workshop, as well as a training video for those unable to attend the workshop.”
Ms. Merszei, I set out to ask objective questions, however, I do want to give my opinion about the following: why do you continue to seriously attempt to portray your interest in safety but yet do NOT require hands-on training in order to purchase your product? Certainly you will make fewer sales if you required hands on training. However, because safety is so important around the eye area, I believe that you should require training. Only with proper hands-on training can a professional truly understand how to apply semi-permanent lash extensions safely and beautifully. I’m sure that many Lash extension professionals can testify about the clients that have come to us for repair of a lash application that was performed by an untrained technician. This hurts our industry and gives lash extensions a bad name. Everyone should make the sacrifice necessary to attend a Training Workshop.
Ms. Merszei, on your blog entry you state: “Regarding the American Extended-Wear Cosmetics Association (AEWCA), I am one of seven proud and active board members.”
Ms Merszei, why are the names and credentials of the seven proud and active board members not listed? Who are they and what are their professional degrees, licenses, and other credentials? http://www.ae-wca.org ? It is customary for reputable professional organizations to list the members and the board of directors along with their credentials (college earned degrees, etc.). Reputable professional organizations are not owned by a company nor are they biased in favor of a certain company.
Ms. Merszei, as the original website domain owner of ae-wca.com, why did you recently remove your name as the owner only after your ownership of the domain was exposed?
Ms. Merszei, you state on your blog entry: that “Membership in AEWCA is restricted to doctors and scientists with a minimum education level of three years of postgraduate work and/or 10 years experience in cosmetic safety testing.”
Ms. Merszei, since membership is restricted to doctors and scientist, please include your specific credentials. Do you hold a college degree? If so, what degree do you hold and from what university? You claim to be a molecular biologist and a cosmetic chemist. What college degree qualifies you to claim this credential? Ms Merszei, attending a one-day seminar in cosmetic chemistry and getting a certificate does not qualify most people to call themselves a “cosmetic chemist”. Please be specific about your credentials, stating when and where you received your formal education.
You also state on your blog entry the following: “Currently, NovaLash is the only A.E.W.C.A.-approved lash extension product, although the A.E.W.C.A. encourages other lash extension companies to undergo the independent testing necessary to receive certification. Why haven’t other manufactures applied for certification? Is it because they would not meet the stringent qualifications that protect your health?”
Ms. Merszei, could it be that other eyelash extension companies do not believe that it is necessary to be affiliated with an organization that is owned by a competitor and/or is favorably biased toward a certain company that is on its board?
Ms. Merszei, you state on your website that “All competing brands of lash extension adhesives tested by the AEWCA were found to contain toxic and carcinogenic irritants”. Ms. Merszei, what brands are you referring to? I didn’t find any credible data to support any of these claims on the AEWCA website. In fact, there are no scientific studies anywhere on the AEWCA website that are related to eyelash extensions or eyelash extension adhesives. The few articles on the site are all related to permanent cosmetics that are simply copied from other sources. This is a real cheap shot, Ms. Merszei, if you are not willing to name the names of the competing brands that you have supposedly tested.
Ms. Merszei, please respond to the objective questions that are directly related to comments that you made on the blog and / or your NovaLash website.
Many professionals like me are concerned that the use of scare tactics surrounding eyelash extension adhesives will destroy the industry. Professionals and consumers alike that read these scare tactics may be afraid to provide or try the service at all. Ms. Merszei, if you can not answer the questions contained herein, please stop using scare tactics that are not based on facts, as this can bring long term harm to our industry.
Ms. Merszei, I am anxiously waiting for your specific replies.

OMG! how much of your own lashes would really fall with the extensions? That sounds scary, if you lose too much of you real lashes you’re gonna have to have extensions the rest of your life…
:O
November 9th, 2006 at 2:12 am
I completely agree regarding NovaLash! I started doing some checking myself after reading the postings about deception and here’s what I found and what I think.
I believe that NovaLash and its President, Sophy Merszei, continue to use scare tactics to deceive the industry. She obviously does not plan to stop doing so. Her deceptive scare tactics are harming our industry. Here is just an example:
• On the front page of the NovaLash website, they boldly state “NovaLash is the ONLY lash extension product that is … made in the USA in accordance with FDA recommendations for formaldehyde content”. Then, on NovaLash’s “Health and Safety” tab on their website, they state, “Most lash adhesives produced from Asia are … not FDA approved for cosmetic or medical purposes.
This is pure DECEPTION. Ms. Merszei boldly states that NovaLash is the ONLY lash extension product made in accordance with FDA recommendations for formaldehyde content. Ms. Merszei obviously wants you to believe that all the other lash extension products are NOT made according to FDA recommendations and therefore must be unsafe. The facts are that the US Food and Drug administration (FDA) does NOT regulate cosmetics. I have done a comprehensive search and found only one case where the FDA actually had anything to say about the formaldehyde content in a cosmetic product and the cosmetic product was “nail hardeners” – not eyelash extensions. The only recommendation from the FDA concerning formaldehyde in any cosmetic product is as follows, quote, “Nail hardeners often contain formaldehyde as the active ingredient. Although formaldehyde may be irritating to the skin or cause allergic reactions, the FDA does not object to its use as an ingredient of nail hardeners provided the product contains no more than 5% formaldehyde …” This quote may be found on the following link to the FDA website: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-hdb3.html .
The FDA says absolutely nothing about standards for eyelash extensions. The FDA states that “nail hardeners” should contain no more than 5% formaldehyde. I can tell you that the eyelash extension glues provided by the major suppliers in the USA generally contain negligible levels of formaldehyde, less than 10 PPM. That is 10 PARTS PER MILLION. For comparison, the FDA’s 5% formaldehyde spec for nail hardeners is equal to 50,000 PPM. Yes, 5% is equivalent to 50,000 PPM.
Since the major eyelash extension providers in the US supply adhesives well below 10 PPM formaldehyde, this is certainly “in accordance” with the only FDA recommendations for formaldehyde content – which only recommends no more than 50,000 ppm. However, the other major eyelash extension providers do not invoke this because the specific FDA recommendations are not addressing eyelash extensions specifically. Obviously, NovaLash has no such restraint.
Imagine the deception of Ms. Merszei: 1) to invoke FDA recommendations on formaldehyde content, when the FDA does not even address recommendations for eyelash extensions; and 2) to invoke FDA recommendations on formaldehyde content when she is referencing a product with less than 10 PPM when the FDA recommends no more than 50,000 PPM in another cosmetic product. Ms. Merszei, give me a break.
Ms. Merszei even takes it a step further on her “Health and Safety” tab on her website, where she states, “Most lash adhesives produced from Asia are … not FDA approved for cosmetic or medical purposes.” While this statement is technically true, it implies that the NovaLash glue is approved by the FDA. Again, she is being deceptive. The FDA has not approved any lash adhesive for cosmetic purposes. Ms. Merszei, when are you going to stop trying to deceive us?
Why am I so upset about this? Well, Ms Merszei’s scare tactics are harming our industry. I have a thriving business in eyelash extensions and I want to keep it that way. Even though most of us know that NovaLash’s scare tactics are empty, they can still harm our industry. I am very happy with the products that I currently use. I previously used NovaLash’s products and found their quality to be inferior. I would prefer to get out of this business than be forced to use their product again.
I am addressing only one piece of NovaLash deception in this blog. Other blogs have addressed many other examples of NovaLash deceptions. I am sure many others are to follow – as NovaLash is rather blatant. When will we stop? Only when NovaLash stops using scare tactics and deception to sell product.
Why are the other major eyelash extension providers not addressing this issue? Hello, Lavish? Hello, Xtreme? Hello, 3D? I suspect that the major providers know that NovaLash has a horrible reputation in terms of product quality and credibility and that NovaLash’s scare mongering is not worthy of a response. Well, I can tell you that NovaLash is probably not going to change anytime soon their scare tactics are beginning to have an effect. Lavish, Xtreme, 3D – I understand that you do not want to dignify NovaLash with a response, but you should address this issue head on. NovaLash’s scare tactics are harming the entire industry – and it is time to stop it. With facts.

I had my lash extension at Grace lagman and after a week gradually some are falling already so i had to pull it myself, unfortunalety some of my real lashes were also pulled.
January 3rd, 2007 at 5:28 pm
Hi Cathy! NOOO! Don’t pull them out. Your own lashes will go with the fake ones because the glue is pretty strong. You have to go back to Grace Lagman and have it re-touched. Or use baby oil. What I do is, if I can’t go back to the salon right away, I try to repair it myself with regular eyelash glue. It will hold for a day.
January 3rd, 2007 at 11:17 pm
oh okay, thanks monica!:) but the damage has been done already..so now i’m thinking if i should have it again because my lashes are thinner now..but i’m still sad for what happened to my lashes..do you think it’s better to have a lash extension again? pls help me in deciding..thanks!
January 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pm

I just had eyelash extension at Mikaela and I’m loving it! Although it’s painful at first, it’s all worth it in the end. My only concern is that, what if I decide not to maintain it anymore and I just want my natural eyelashes back? Will it look damaged because of the glue?
April 19th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
The lash extensions at Mikaela are quite pricey but to be fair it does come off as very natural looking. I’ve had mine for a month now and they are still fine, but I’ve had to retouch the inner lashes, they droop easily. Also, by the 3rd week, (I don’t know if it’s because I have allergies and my eyes get watery all the time) the glue will start to wear off and it will sting just how it stung when you first had it applied. Be careful when the fake lashes start to fall off, don’t yank it. I lost some lashes
April 20th, 2007 at 7:20 pm
I tried Ricky Reyes’ eyelash extension. I was quite satisfied, unfortunately, I couldnt afford to maintain it for it cost me P3000 and it lasted only 2 weeks. The price was actually 1500 but the extension were so thin, it just made my lashes long. I wanted a thicker effect so they told me to have it doubled. At first I was really excited. If a lash falls off,() of course, they could fix it without a charge as long as you have the extension with you they would fix it. Haha!! After almost 3 months i realized that Ive spent P9000 for this extension which actually had no big effect on my looks. Well, I have short and thin eyelashes.
When I heard of Grace Lagmans Salon, especially the “P420″ pricing, I immediately tried the service. Its my 4th day wearing their extensions. But what i really hate is that the lashes really look fake. Its like wearing false eyelashes with a lot of mascara on it. And the glue? Its obvious coz it shines.. I even wet my lashes several times hoping that it would make the glue less visible.. haha!… My friends are telling me I look like bakla now coz my lashes are so thick on the upper lid and my lower lid has only few. Well… what do you expect from a low-price xtension?.. I, as well refuse to pay too much for an extension that will not last long…
So.. for now, i’l stay with grace lagman. hmmm.. pls inform me if u found a better salon. The one which is more affordable and quality-wise. Thnx.
April 20th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
had mine done at grace lagman’s salon. theirs are really cheap and mine lasted for over a month.
April 21st, 2007 at 12:18 am
Hi Ann! Your description of your Grace Lagman lashes is funny! But I agree, they DO have lashes that look “bakla”, esp if you dont wear any makeup. I’ve had those, too. But they also have the thinner ones. Did you ask? You can tell them you want the wispier ones. I’ve also asked them if they could skip putting glue on the entire length of the lash, but they said the lashes will start “dancing”. So, you can tell them to put less of the glue because you dont want the “heavy mascara” effect. Did you look for Tita Olive?
April 24th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Hi Cherry..actually, i didn’t ask for tita olive. im going back tomorrow for a retouch. mine started “dancing”. its just the 8th day but im hoping that this retouch would last up to two more weeks. They told me that you can have it retouched for just P110. And they can actually put extensions on my lower lids. Well, someday i’ll try it.
Just wanna inform u guys that they can also put extensions on ur lower lids which most of the exclusive salons cnt do.
April 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Hi Ann! I hope you asked for Tita Olive this time. There’s a difference. One time T.Olive was not around so she endorsed me to someone else, the lashes didn’t last as long for some reason.
May 1st, 2007 at 11:05 pm
thanks for posting Grace Lagman’s salon. Been wanting to try lash extension for so long. Now i just have to find out how to get to their salon.
May 1st, 2007 at 11:13 pm
oh yeah, btw. just in case id change my mind, how much does the extension cost in Mikaela Salon? I think the weave costs 3,500 while the extension’s a lot cheaper.
May 1st, 2007 at 11:33 pm
You know, i’ve seen three people with lash extensions from Mikaela, and they’re all droopy. instead of looking wide-eyed, they look like they have heavy lids and the lashes are pointing downward? why is that?
May 5th, 2007 at 4:47 am
I just had mine done in Seattle and I LOVE them! It is becoming a worldwide phenom! You can find it anywhere now just be sure to check out your tech as my first set I had in NY were a fright.
I found Dina via google (http://www.dvinelash.com/) and love her so take your time and do your research, it is worth it in the long run.
May 6th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
What’s the difference of eyelash extension and weaving??
Your reply will be deeply appreciated! (.”)
May 10th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
i dont like my eyelash extension, what to do to effectively remove them?
May 10th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Hi Posh! The best thing to do is to go back to where you had them done and ask them to remove them. They should have a solvent for the glue.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
oh ok, thanks Cherry i just dont want to be back there. im trying hot compress hehe. anyway thanks cherry
May 11th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Hi! Im quite satisfied with my extensions now. I went to Grace Lagman makati and now I know the difference. Those in makati are very experienced and they really know whats best for you. Although Tita Olive wasnt the one who fix my lashes. I went there and I told the lady to fix my extensions that was done in Grace Lagman QC. She told me that long extensions dont suit my face so she suggested to try the very short ones and it was colored brown. She was able to fix it!. Now it looks nice,more natural looking… Im going back to GL Makati next week to have some retouch!!
May 25th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
i just had my extensions from F salon and im not that satisfied. It made me looked like a drag queen and I really wanna take it off. Im interested to go to Grace Lagman, do they have a branch in q.c.? i really would appreciate it if somebody could help…
May 26th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
Hi i havent tried grace lagman’s parlor.
But I’ve been to Jackie Pujol, she does weaving of eyelash extensions that makes it look very natural and she really do it by herself. It lasted for 2 months on my case.
May 26th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
where’s the location of Ms. jackie pujol?
May 26th, 2007 at 7:39 pm
yes, and how much does ms. jackie charge for the weaving?
May 27th, 2007 at 11:12 am
I know this sound so ignorant of me..but wht’s the difference of weaving and extension?
May 28th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
Nice to know Im not the only addict to Lash extensions, mine i got in Baguio City called ‘i-lash salon’ at Porta Vaga Mall. My extensions were so natural and sexy looking i got a lot of compliments that i looked younger. Its only P1,000 but they don’t count the lashes, comes in diff sizes small, medium and long; and diff colors too. My first application lasted for 4 months with 2 re-touches. I heard they are opening a franchise in Bacolod and Alabang soon.
June 1st, 2007 at 2:07 am
Ms. jackie charges P1800.. her mobile phone is 09152039678. Her address is Unit 201 P&R Mansion 1515 Sto. Sepulco St. corner Pres.Quirino Ave, Paco Manila. Pls set an appointment to her before u come.
June 10th, 2007 at 9:48 am
Ladies, eyelash weaving is a patented lock system from l’arden paris and only mikaela has the franchise of that eyelash system in the philippines. Ms. jackie’s eyelash weaving is a fake misrepresentation of business and herself. Does she operate in a salon or clinic environment or is it just a home quack thing? We’d like to know so we can protect our consumers. Thanks!
June 10th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Sorry girls, not for anything , I tried them all Lagman,Ricky and other cheap so called eyelass experts. GO TO WHERE THE BIG STARS OF THE PHILIPPINES GO. micaela’s of Fort Bonifacio or Philosophy by micaela in the heart of Makati.ms jackie is a copycat. Ask for her credentials coz you dont mess around with your beauty.She works for her husbands trucking company.No offense ms jackie. my experinece in your hands is O U C H !!!

I had my lash extension with Grace Lagman in Makati. It really looks good on me.Even my friends finds it so gorgeous. Here goes the hassle, I have to do some retouch at least 2x/week because the inner lash droop easily. Though they charge me free, its still a waste of time, effort and gasoline.
Angel can you give me the # of As Well as Me Salon along Scout. I wanna try it. Thanks girl.
July 4th, 2007 at 11:22 pm

August 27th, 2007 at 11:44 pm
I have purchased an eyelash kit in Quiapo (yes in quiapo!), and it’s awesome..
i just have a big problem with the glue. IT DRIES UP SO FAST! a whole bottle will dry up in 2 days, and you cant use it anymore. the store i bought it doesnt even do anything if i tell them whats wrong.
any ideas were i can get glue? also the ones that dont sting in your eyes?
either clear or black…..

hi! i had my lashes done at porta vaga, the first time was ok and I was really brutal with cleaning it no wonder it lasted just 1 month and it started itching. so i had it done again but this time after 7 days it started to itch “really” and it easily fell off i asked the staf about it and they said they changed their glue…can you please advice me on what kind of glue should i ask for so my lashes wont itch and would last longer?tnx
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:49 am
anybody knows anything about eyelash tinting? what the effects are? where i can get it and how much? thanks much!
October 28th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
ive tried my eyelash extension today at ASWELLASME SALON in 18 SCOUT TUAZON, QC NEAR ROCES AVE.IN TOMAS MORATO, their contact number is 448.5316. They are very nice there, the place is cozy like a real spa..Btw, try their aswella’s combo package that cost P850 that includes the eyelash extension,eyebrow threading, manicure & pedicure and foot massage.. Worth the price.. They eyelash extension looks nice, thicker or thinner, longer or shorter its up to you, they wont add up the price unlike in other place like ricky reyes, when u add eyelash they add it in the price, the retouch i think cost 50 and up only also..
October 29th, 2007 at 12:53 pm
Hi there!
Anybody else has tried Violet Yolanda? Have seen the one of Grace Lagaman and I dont really like it. Is it a similar effect? I have seen the one of Mikaela- its really nice but so mahal. I was wondering if the one in Violet Yolanda has similar results…
Thanks!
October 29th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Hi Sweetiepie,
I know somebody that try Mikaela, but they said violet yolanda is better. its really looks real, try it for your self. At saka di mahapdi ang glue nila. 1,500 lang din, i heard my promo sila this month. call them for appointment at 02-757-3968.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:50 am
thanks! will probably try Violet Yolanda and let you all know the feedback…
HAve actually tried na Jackie’s lashes and like it a lot! but i find her place too far. And to be honest, i get worried about my natural lashes falling off. Everytime one of the fake ones fall off, a real one goes with it. So am worried na makalbo. Also wanted to know, especially the girlies who’ve done this more than twice- do you have the falling lashes problem? What do you do? I really love fake lashes but worried that ill get kalbo in 2 years! HELP!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Where can I go for eyelash extension here in the south(alabang / Las pinas area)? Thanx po..
October 31st, 2007 at 3:10 pm
hi everyone! i’m inviting you all to try out I-LASH Extensions Salon, a specialty salon that exclusively offers eyelash extension services. for more info, you can visit our website at http://ilashsalon.multiply.com
November 19th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Yessss…I’m not the only one hooked on getting eyelash extensions! I just got mine done for the 7th time…been getting them done for almost a year and a half now. The best salon for me so far is TIPS & TOES in Westgate Alabang. Costs P1,800 (plus VAT yet so around P2,200 total) for the service but they put on the most natural looking eyelashes, and the glue doesn’t sting at all! All of their technicians are well-trained so you don’t have to look for a particular person to do it. Lasts 4-5 weeks.
November 19th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
there’s a new salon in greenhills called I-lash Extensions Salon. I had mine done there this morning and im soo happy with the results! they have a promo now, 50% discount on all their services until nov.25 only! do try it sisters and you’ll definitely love it! you can check their website at http://ilashsalon.multiply.com for more info.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Another salon in boni, mandaluyong, called Minami salon offers this service (http://www.minami-salon.com/). I’ve tried 4 salons already namely Grace Lagman in makati, Tony Galvez (www.tonygalvez.com.ph) in cubao, Minami salon (Boni) and 1 salon in Baguio (I forgot the name)… Grace Lagman seems to be the most different because theirs is not 1 lash per your natural lash.. Instead it seems to be a 3 in 1 lash stuck to the base of your eyelid.. It lasted only for a short time and when it falls off, it is so obvious because its a lot of lash in 1 fall… But this is the cheapest I’ve tried so far t P420.. Tony Galvez costs 1000.. I liked it because this is my second try after grace lagman and it felt so light and natural as compared to it… Minami and the one in Baguio is similar to Tony galvez but I noticed they put in more eyelashes… Minami costs 1500.. but the one in Baguio was a real treat! It costs 500 bucks only because they have a 50% off promo… That was my latest extension.. lasted 6 weeks now but only a few are left, so I have to have a retouch! I’m gonna try I-lash in greenhills this sunday! Already booked my appointment!

December 11th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
Dana–Oh no, you should go back to Grace Lagman and have them removed now! They have a solvent and they can remove them in 5 minutes!! I wonder though, why it hurts?
December 16th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
i had my extensions done @ NSM clinica dermatologica (a derma clinic loc. in marikina,9480149) but they’re really good in extensions.. but they call it eyelash semi implant.. i only paid 800 (it has 1 free retouch) and it lasted for about 6 weeks.. they also do eyelash perming for only 250
December 21st, 2007 at 10:33 pm
hi May, where is NSM clinica dermatoligica located in Marikina? How do you find their service?

i heard mikaela is now offering a product that would make eyelashes grow thicker and fuller..the packaging looks like a mascara..and a good deal too only at 1350 if im not mistaken..
December 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
hello there guys, can u help me. it’s my first time to have eyelash extension, which is better ba eyelash extension or eyelash weaving.and where’s the best place to have it done, im from the south, ok lang kung sa makati pero much better kung sa alabang yun salon, thanks for the reply..i really need it asap.
January 10th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Beauties, we dont need to worry anymore about lash extension as Mikaela has a product to make our lashes grow fuller and longer. Ive tried it and swear my life on it. ive seen the results after 5 weeks. its the same as revitalash in the U.S but revitalash cost US$249 in Los Angeles but mikaela bilbao of philosophy by mikaela had hers made in the U.S to be able to bring it to the manila at a much more cheaper price that is very affordable. If we can have it real on our own, i guess thats better than having extensions.
By the way, Ive heard from the grapevine that Paris Hilton & Nicole Ritchie is coming to Manila to visit Mikaela and Philosophy. Incidentally, Paris & Nicole & this Mikaela Bilbao according to a very reliable source go in the same parties and circles in new york. I have bumped into a lot of celebrities everytime I go to Mikela at the Fort or Philosophy and MY GOSH! All their equipments there are all U.S Standard. I so love their pedicure spa there at the fort since its the same one used in europe & U.S with massaging chairs & real jacuzzi jets. Love you all dahlings!
January 16th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
hello there guys! I just had my extensions done @ violet yolanda salon today by IVY.the lashes were great!im so happy with the results!looks natural…hope it will last long…cost:P1500.

February 6th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
I’m here at Minami Salon – Shaw blvd. branch now waiting for my turn for the eyelash extensions service. Clients can use computers here for free while waiting for their hair done or while waiting for their turn.Maybe that’s why most of their clients here are those business women & busy gals.They are also providing wi-fi access to clients who want to use their own laptop computers.I was surprised about this salon set up when I went here for the first time.This is my 2nd time to have my eyelash extensions done here. I’ve tried Mikaela once but not as same as you guys,I’m not really that satisfied. Makintab kasi yung lashes na gamit nila kaya it’s very obvious that ur wearing fake lashes most especially when u are under the sun. Yung na try ko kasi dito sa Minami Salon, they called it 3D eyelash extensions, the lashes are not glossy & sobrang thin lang talaga ng strands ng lashes kaya kahit pakapalan mo ng lagay ay hindi parin obvious na fake plus their price is same regardless of thickness. The staff proudly told me that those materials & chemicals which they are using for their eyelash extension service & hair rebonding,hair treatments, etc. are all from Japan. I am actually thinking to try their rebonding also next month after I hear from them that they are using Shiseido brand.
February 7th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Girls, Try the eyelash weaving at Philosophy by Mikaela, they are the one one in the philippines who paid for the franchise of the patented-lock system of L’arden Paris for this newest technology in eyelash extensions. Anyone other than Philosophy by Mikaela who claims to have eyelash weaving are definitely fakes and are false claims coz only Philosophy by Mikaela has the certificate with exclusivity fot our country.
The reason I want you all to know this is because we should be conscious and aware of these things as our eyes are very sensitive and its an open organ (mucous membrane) that could easily get infected or acquire diseases from the utensils that are used, some bacteria are not killed by simple sterilization. You can actually get AIDS by sharing masscara from someone infected with AIDS or HEPA. Mind you dahlings, only philosophy salon uses auto-clave sterilization (same used in hospitals) in all their metal implements.(By the way, my dad is an opthalmologist) Or better yet you can go for eyelash growth conditioners such as jan marini, revitalash or mikaela growth conditioner. AN OUNCE OF CAUTION IS BETTER THAN A POUND OF CURE!

Philosophy by Mikaela and Mikaela Salon are of the same company. They are located at the Penthouse, Arnaiz Ave. cor Paseo de Roxas in Makati. They have In-house doctors on duty everyday and Medical Registered Nurses as their facility offers medispa and salon services. I heard that they opened up a bigger place in fort so their previous one there is close na. If im not mistaken its at the Ground floor of Forbestown Center near McDonalds and UCC Coffee. You may call them at 8921574/8561925.
The lashes they use are real Human Hair that has been processed and sterilized.
Not to worry coz they have Wi-Fi access plus several IBM laptops on their stations for you to use while you’re having your hair done or you can opt for watching the latest dvd movies as all their stations have individual dvd screens for individual use. Surprisingly, their prices are very reasonable plus they have fantastic location which is near to all the glam spots dahlings.
All you’re looking for is actually there, it’s a haven and promise theres nothing that you’d need that they wont be able to provide. Grabe, the staff there go thru great effort to have me and my mom satisfied. Their clients are not only the manila society’s creme de la creme also VIP Businesswomen and thats where you can get a glimpse of mega celebrities buzzling in and out of the place.
Its the place to be seen!

I had my lashes done at Mikaela (eyelash weave) last month. It’s really pricey at P3500 but incredible.
I got sooo many compliments from people! It really looks natural. You can request what length you want. I asked for small-sized lashes for a “Natural Mascara” look. You can opt to go even longer and lusher but stay away from the “Drag Queen” length.
The lashes should stay for 3 months. So far I’ve lost around 1-2 false lashes. It’s really sturdier than lash extensions (I got mine at P1250 from Bizzie & Lizzie Salon).
My current problem with these lashes is that they make my eyes sting sometimes. Does anyone else have this problem? My false extensions did the same thing to me. Is it the glue that these salons use?
There are times when my eyes will sting, turn red and become watery. It’s very painful. It takes me around 5 minutes to go back to normal (amidst all the ouchouchouch and fears of going blind hehehe). I notice that these usually happen when I’m developing ‘muta’ (a.k.a. rheum, morning glory)in the corners of my eyes. I just put water on my eyes, dab tissues on my eyes and take out all the muta.
Does anyone know a better way to solve this? Because the lashes are WAY WAY INCREDIBLE if not for the stinging moments.
Also, how do you clean the lashes? I try not to shower directly onto my eyes.
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:07 am
p.s. The most beautiful thing about eyelash weaving (or false lashes) is that you wake up with a face that looks made up.
No need for eyeliner or mascara! Sometimes you won’t even need anything except concealer for undereye bags.
It really changed the way I look. I’m Chinese so my lashes tend to be shorter and less thick than lucky Pinays. My eyelash weave really opened my eyes up and made me look bright-eyed and pretty.
You HAVE to try it at least once to see the effect. Go for the temporary falsies just to see how it will look on you, and then if you like it, go for the more permanent ones.

Dearies, I have finally met Mikaela at Mikaela fort last feb and boy was she gorgeous!!! She’s so down to earth and very accommodating. She told me that there are maintenance rules to take when you get lash extensions and gave some tips on how to take care of eyelash xtension and eyelash weaving which I’d like to share with you all beauties….
1) Never face the shower when you take a bath as the pressure of the water will damage your falsies.
2) Refrain from rubbing and touching your eyes.
3) To prolong the life of your extensions make sure not to use heavy cream based make-up removers such as pond’s.
4) Do not sleep face down as these will ruin your falsies.
With all these dos and donts, I told her that that I am still very much addicted to her eyelash weaving extensions as it saves me the trouble of going back and forth for retouches. I spend more with having frequent retouches when I go to other salons now that I compute the cost of retouches done at other salons plus I heard it from Mikaela herself that safety and satisfaction is a personal commitment that she takes very seriously. Also, there is a letter that is posted in all her salons and medical spa for all clients to read which says that if in case any of her clients are not satisfied with any of her staff or any of the services, WE CAN CALL HER DIRECTLY (her cell number was posted) That to me is super duper excellent service commitment. Maikela said thet her philosophy is that the closest to the natural is the most beautiful. I’ve also been using Mikaela Growth Conditioner and I swear my life on it. I’m pretty sure by next month I wont be having extensions done anymore as my very own lashes are finally getting fuller and longer.
The time I was there at Mikaela, I had my eyes full with celebrities buzzling around. For that day alone, I saw Ruffa Gutierrez having weaving extensions done, Pops Fernandez was having an oxygen hair treatment and Dina Bonnevie was having her hair highlighted, treatment and styled. Ms. Dina Bonnevie was right nest me as she was having her eyelash weaving while I was having mine done too, I felt soooo good, I was feeling celebrity myself. Mind you dahlings, these are all superstars with SUPER BEAUTIES and THEY TRUST MIKAELA SALON, WELLNESS & MEDICAL SPA!
You can call their Fort branch at 8561925 or 8561924. They have another branch in Pasay road cor Paseo de Roxas in Makati but I can memorize the telephone number in their Makati branch.
March 19th, 2008 at 2:01 am
Btw, I was told by the receptionist there, Ms. Anne Bergantinos that Mikaela is so strict on all her staff to make sure that all customers get the very best results in any service, they are also a L’oreal exclusive salon with continuing education to all hair stylist. They are all sent abroad for training and salon education.
For the medical and wellness spa. The selection of reconstructive surgeons and dermatologist are very impressive plus they employ registered nurses to perform the ULTRASLIM SLIMMING TREATMENT that non-invasive, no surgery, no pills, no diet FAT REMOVAL treatment that guarantees results in 1 treatment. They say that you will be measured before and after right before your very eyes. and that you can expect to lose up to 4 -6 inches every treatment but the treatment is FREE if you dont lose at least 2cm. Everyone is going crazy over this new treatment and I have been wanting to try it but its always fully booked and I was only able to book myself in 3 weeks pa so i you want to try it my advise is book for an appointment 3 weeks or a month in advance.
All I can say to all that becoming beautiful made my life a lot EASIER! Maybe its the law of attraction working but the again EVERYTHING STARTS WITH YOURSELF so ladies…… CELEBRATE LIFE BEAUTIFULLY!

MIKAELA BILBAO THE OWNER OF MIKAELA AND PHILOSOPHY SALON IS SUCH A NICE GIRL SHE ACTUALLY SHOUTS ON HER STAFF EVERYDAY. AND SHE SCREAM AT THE TOP OF HER VOICE EVEN ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE IN HER SALON…WELL THATS MIKAELA ONCE FONDLY CALLED “ANNA”
June 18th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I used to be an avid fan of lash weaving done by mikaela however I noticed that my eyes seem quite red and irritated all the time. after a trips to the salon for my retouch (which i had to do every so often, contrary to what they are claiming) my lashes began to clump and are frequently dirty and dusty even after thorough cleaning. Having paid 3,800 for the service and a few hundreds more for retouches, I would say that I am completely dissatisfied. After seeing huge gaps between my lashes, i took some petroleum jelly and yanked them off carefully. I kept the lashes as a reminder that you can never be too impulsive when it comes to vanity or your own health for that matter. I am now very much contented with my lancome hypnose mascara (panoramic effect and unbelievable volume) and my model co lash wand. No strings attached.
July 9th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
glamchick ..do you work for mikaela or maybe you ARE “mikaela”..i must say..i have been an avid costumer before..i practically live a few blocks away..anyway where can i find jackie pujols salon?
July 10th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Nope, Im sorry I dont work for Mikaela but I just soooo love the lashes there besides my dad is an eye doctor and i know that their procedures and equipment there are safe. Maybe you’re Jackie Pujol because I was told by Che R. that Jackie Pujol is a fake and she is the sister of Mikaela who tried to copy Mikaela’s lash technology but was not successful kasi isang araw palang nawala na sya kaya Jackie Pujol keeps on dropping the name of Mikaela but the TRUTH is Jackie Pujol DOES NOT HAVE ANY CREDENTIALS to back up what she does. She just does it home service yung parang kanto-kanto style when she started then she does it at her sister-in-laws clinic or at her home. A lot of her customers have left her kasi pinag-aaway away nya silang lahat. So how could I trust my lashes much so my eyes on kanto-kanto, walang legitimate business operation. So what happens if she hurts my eye even by accident…..kawawa naman the consumers kasi parang fly-by-night ang operations nya. Walang legitimate licenses since she started. I think the goverment should take a look into this. I have only met Mikaela Bilbao, the person once and she is so nice but her staff says that she is so strict with them. I always see celebrities in Mikaela and when I go there I am always surrounded by celebrities…..So my thinking is, if these super star celebrities TRUST MIKAELA, WHY SHOULDNT I? Anyway, when it comes to beauty and stuff like that I think the celebrities have better judgement on knows better on these things.
July 10th, 2008 at 11:43 am
i dont think we are here to fight but to find out which is better suited for us. This is the purpose of this blog after all! Im sorry but my opinion of a good eyelash treatment is of course with expertise and it has to be legitimate. I have read an article in Philippine Tatler June 2008 issue “Tribute to the MOver’s and Shakers in the Business Industry” and it was Tatlers Power Issue also. I am not here to judge Mikaela Bilbao or anybody for the matter but I would like to judge the workmanship, safety for the consuming public. Mikaela Bilbao’s life was featured in that Tatler Issue ( I WAS TOLD THAT A TELL-ALL MOVIE IS IN THE OFFING i dont know, who will star in it and im not really sure whats what but they say that her life is very interesting and lots of lessons learned) and it was noted also there to borrow the words from the tribute of Philippine Tatler : Mikaela BIlbao, REMAINS TO BE THE ONLY LICENSED EYELASH EXTENSIONS AND WEAVING EXPERT IN THE COUNTRY.
Philosophy by Mikaela is such a huge place with Doctors and Nurses. Employing Medical Professionals is kinda Bigtime dahlings! Also, I believe that Cosmopolitan Magazine, has awarded Mikaela as 2008 BEST SALON AWARDS FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS & WEAVING. Just goes to show, you can never put a good person down……..
July 10th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Ive had my lashes done with Mikaela for 4 years now and they’re the best. I once was on vacation in the US so I had it done there but even though US na, Mikaela pa rin is the best.
I THINK THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU GAL’S TO KNOW IS GO TO MIKAELA AND SEE FOR YOURSELF if all were talking about here are facts and true. Kayo na ang maghusga see for yourself:-) You can have your friend try the others too para you will see the difference because the difference is in the materials used, safety equipment used and workmanship. It’s also not about the price kasi di ba pag mura talagang sirain and in fairness Mikaela is a bit pricey kasi naman all safety standards are met plus I can vouch for the workmanship ang galing nila. Binabagay nila ang shape sa eyes and face. Extensions costs 2200, weaving costs 3800 and if you want Mikaela herself to do your lashes you can call by appointment and she charges 7,500. For someone who has so many awards when it come to eyelashes, it’s worth the price for me because I know Im worth it. Ciao!
July 10th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I tried Grace Lagman(salon)in Qc… it’s really affordable but the thing is it will last for less than a week.. then i tried FASIO mascara it’s really great and affordable and I’m loving it!!! you can find it in Rustan’s Essenses and PCX
July 14th, 2008 at 2:18 am
@ Kris:
You’re right. Mikaela Salon says that the eyelash weave should last for 3 months but mine fell apart in a month.
I’ve had mine done 3x already, and they’ve never gone past a month.
I think it’s highly unlikely for any eyelash weave to last for 3 months… UNLESS you don’t wash your face at all. Hahaha.
I’ve decided to give my eyes a break. Bought Lancome Hypnose mascara too.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
The reason I discovered Mikaela’s (when it was still beside Shell at the Fort) was because of my sister’s stylist who transferred there from Provost. My sister decided to have her lashes done on the prodding of Mikaela. The lashes are supposed to last for 3 months and cost 1500 at that time. Mikaela herself did my sister’s lashes (she charged 1800) but did not heed my sister’s wish to just fill them in with lashes of the same length as her natural ones. Instead, Mikaela put in longer lashes that looked like they could hold a pencil with no effort. From what I’ve read here, she’s come a long way from being “nagmamarunong.” (as her own staff calls her) Truth or fiction? Maybe, maybe not.

I left a comment here but it didn’t published. : ( anyway, it was about mikaela salon’s eyelash service. Sure it was great at first I mean my eyes looked amazing and it really did open my eyes up but after a day, one already fell off and after a few days about three or four had already fallen off and after a week, so many of my eyelashes had fallen off and one eye had more than the other! It also started to dance just a few days after I had it done and after two weeks, the falsies I had left would poke me and danced so I had no choice but to take them out. I was left with a few bald spots on my eyelids and it was hell! Like the others that have commented here, I have also woken up with major “muta” (morning glory/eye boogers, whatever) and difficulty opening my eyes due to the stinging. I would stumble blindly in the bathroom desperately searching for the petroleum jelly and gently trying to “untangle” my lashes. It would also get red and watery at times. I find it unbelievable when people say their lashes lasted for months I completely agree with what Abbie said, it is highly unlikely that it would last for months unless you don’t wash your face! hahahaha In this case, I’m keeping my face clean and maintaining my hygiene and saving my 2,500.

looks like you’re all interested about the eyelash extension like me… is eyelash extension in Gandang RR is ok worth 1500? can anyone help me here to decide?
October 25th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Hi Sheena,
try violet yolanda salon and look for Ynez…located at 8483- kalayaan avenue cor gloria st., makati going towards rockwel. Lovely lashes …it looks really real , won’t even notice that its an extension… try it for your self and come back to us , tell us your comments … i find out here in this blog that most of the client comment they got is all good so far..
November 10th, 2008 at 2:36 am
I have read all the comments on this blog and I checked out the Truth or Fiction – Nagmamarunong thingy that was mentioned here……C’mon you guys, let’s face it we dont really know if it’s salon owners themselves or employees with grievances, may mga sama ng loob and/or someone whose just purely envious. For lash extensions only, ang dami-dami ng nasasabi dito…..some of it I think has MALICIOUS INTENT which can and could be CHARGED WITH LIBEL OR PANINIRANG PURI. Why dont you guys just see all the facts;
1) Mikaela’s or Philosophy whatever is the only licensed eyelash place in the country following strict standards ( tayong pinoy matitigas talaga ang mga ulo, kaya ganito ang bansa natin, di na tayo natuto ever!)
2) Nagmamarunong ba ang isang tao who STUDIED THE PROCESS, THE SCIENCE TO CARE FOR THE DURING THE PROCEDURE, who STARTED TO BE THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY and Acknowledged by U.S FDA as safe glue and procedure.
If Mikaela if that’s her name or not has come a long way, we’ll maybe she must have worked damn hard for it kasi dito nga sa mga comments dito namamayani ang inggit/envy and CRAB MENTALITY nating mga pinoy. Hindi naman umaasenso ang isang tao na himdi pinagpaguran and ONE HAS NEVER ESTABLISHED A BRAND NAME WITHOUT HARD WORK & MAINTAINING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF QUALITY FOR A TIME THEN THAT’S WHEN YOU’VE PROVEN THAT YOU’RE THE BEST COZ THE BRAND GETS TO BE WELL KNOWN.
3) Almost all CELEBRITIES goes to Mikaela fort and that salon is always mentioned by TOP CELEBRITIES on Television, these people value their looks more than us ordinary or private individuals, SO HOW IS IT THAT THEY TRUST MIKAELA SALON FOR LASHES and a lot of newspapers have written about Mikaela Lashes, these are journalists with their name on their pen.
Let’s not be NARROW-MINDED and let’s base it on what’s on the table and facts about lash extensions. Huwag tayo padadala or have opinions swayed by other personal interests. Puntahan kaya natin lahat ng malaman natin, which is the best, di ba?
Kaya lang nga, pag nagka aksidente ang mata nyo…..BULAG NA KAYO! May iba nga mura, di mo masabi kung saan galing ang gamit, baka mahawaan ka pa ng sakit or infection….PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY FIRST. We all want to be beautiful and attractive and it STARTS WITH HAVING A SAFE, RELIABLE PRODUCT.
I trust Mikaela Salon and have been going there for years already. They are professionals and yes, I have seen how strict Mikaela can be with her staff but I think it’s better for me that she is para sigurado akong maayos ang ginagawa sa akin. I am secured in Mikaela knowing that my EYES ARE IN GOOD HANDS!
November 17th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
i had the mascara effect done at i-lash yesterday and the effect was truly awesome! I didnt think it would really make a big difference but it did. The procedure lasted about 2-2.5 hrs. It was uncomfortable at first but i can say the whole procedure was painless and i did not have any irritation at all.
Taking a bath was a drag though, so i decided to look around for some goggles which i can use while taking a bath
December 21st, 2008 at 2:09 am
Naku! Huwag kayo mag papaloko kay Jackie Pujol PLEASE LANG. She does not even have a business license. Magpunta nalang kayo sa kahit anong salon na gusto nyo. ANY LEGITIMATE SALON.
December 21st, 2008 at 2:15 am
JACKIE PUJOL
WALANG LEGITIMATE BUSINESS LICENSE meaning PANLOLOKO ang ginagawa nya. Dinudugas nya kayo at hindi nya alam ang ginagawa nya kasi pag hindi legitimate ibig sabihin ILLEGAL!
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:38 am
hello, i have commented on MIKAELA’S salon before, i have been going there for my lash extensions since 2007, to be honest they are the best looking extensions ever from their normal extensions to their weaving; BUT, YES there was a time before when the adhesive stung my eye and i got one-teary-eye for about 24hours but i did go back to have them fix it..they didn’t charge me of course. but i still do go back to mikaela’s when i need super fab lashes
for normal feel-good lashes i would say i-lash would do the work. went there twice already, 1st time was in greenhills, 2nd visit in makati
December 23rd, 2008 at 5:44 pm
I had my last extensions at the Ilash salon. The service and staff are great. I got the natural short lashes but when I had them done I started getting sharp pain in the nose because of the glue fumes then had itchy throat which caused me to cough while on the chair. I finished the extension process but after 2 days my eyes were still itchy so I had them removed. I guess allergies should be taken into consideration. Good thing the staff were very nice and understanding. They assisted me with my needs right away. Over all, if you don’t have allergy, I would recommend the extensions.

Hi, I worked in “Beauty and Art’s Hair Salon”here in Japan and I do the eyelash and hair extensions, here. I do eyelash extension also as sideline everytime umuuwi akong Pinas. But by appointment only. Mga clients ko nagpapa schedule kaagad once they were advised na uwi ako once or twice a year lang. Mga materials na gamit ko are all from Japan dala dala ko talaga. At you can choose the types of extension you want. But I prefer the 100% human hair for eyelash extension for very long lasting effect. I had mine for 5months now, but still intact. It only depends on quality, care and how its done by the fully trained specialist/beautician expert for the job.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Hello! i just had eyelash weaving done at Mikaela at the Fort. It was my first time and i liked the look. They charged me 3,800. The salon was ok but i didn’t appreciate the staff chattering. For me, it was not a high-end salon experience but the staff were friendly.
April 12th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
i go to soiree salon (katipuna avenue near white plains) for eyelash extension. P1000 lng and it’s very nice. umaabot ng 3 weeks to a month ang lashes extension ko. im satisfied.
April 21st, 2009 at 4:42 pm
have you girls tried Enormous Lash that Belo is selling? it’s this liquid thing that has all these nutrients and conditioners that you apply to your eyelashes to make them “enormous”..hehe i want to try something kasi that doesnt just last for a few months, and although belo also has eyelash transplantation, i don’t think i can afford that yet. I heard that enormous lash is really good daw, but i haven’t tried it. anyone who has tried it? feedback?
June 19th, 2009 at 10:02 am

July 30th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I have purchased a Dermalash (6k), and saw a Revitalash (7k) here in manila, it’s similar to the enormous lash of belo but it’s imported and it makes wonders out of your natural eyelashes. I have been using it for 3 weeks, my upper and lower lashes are starting to grow longer. kinda expensive but it does the job and at least it’s your own lashes.

With branches in North Edsa and soon to open in megamall and market market!

i just had my eyelas extension at Violet yolanda..let me see if this one will last a bit longer than the one from I-lash. here are some of the things ive observed in violet yolanda’ salon :
1. no other clients when i arrived -hmm maybe a manifestation that they’re not really that good..??? or maybe bec weekend?? oh well
2. Ynez, who is doing the eyelash is very accomodating – BUT, shes not wearing mouth mask when she let me lie down already in the small table and she got dirty nails (tho i think its bec of the glue for the eyelash?? but still…)
3. the equipments/things shes using for the procedure is not soooo clean and not very hygienic to my sight.glues and lashes are everywhere in the kit..and towels are dirty..etc etc
4. and most of all the lashes, when i look straight fr the mirror is nice
( & i think is strong enough) but when you look closer and look under the lashes, its literally like theres a mascara clamp there..when i had mine done at I lash you can literally comb the lash w/o problem. but with the one now fr violet yolanda, if you will try to comb it, the brush will be stuck..but this is only from the root of the lashes towards the middle part of the lash..middle part towrds the tips – no problem, theyre seperated..so i think it will still look nice and natural from afar. maybe also, by doing that, it will make it stronger than the one from I- lash.. ,my first extension was with ASWELLASME, yeah it was sturdy to last a month- as in literally a month with only few fall outs – BUT its bec your eyelids will be full of glue and that they will put as many 5-in-1 eyelash (yes, not the one by one lashes)tho i dont know if they do already have this new one -yung isa isa. that time it was literalloy soooo heavy that all i can see is my eyelashes..and anyone can see it from afar..tho i dont know if it could have been more natural if i had the size 10 only and meduim thickness..tho the place is neat and spa like ..I- lash got the best service and place but really the weekly visit is too much for me for the retouch as the lashes falls off sooooo easily and just after 3 days the lashes are “dancing” everywhere already, how i wish they could do something about it…with violet yolanda – if this eyelash will at least last more than a week, maybe i will just take in the “hygienic” part just so i will have a much sturdy lashes and less trip back & forth… and btw, retouch is cheaper – 300, regardless how many lashes falls..hope this help others…yeah its addictive and lovin it !!

hi, try Browhaus Manila in Serendra their Lash In Bloom is really good… its different from the eyelash extensions I have tried as this one people think that my eyelashes got thicker and longer… like a natural effect. I also learned a lot from the staff as they have been trained, boot camped to do the services they offer and every year they get an upgrade of skills, materials, and even lashes. I appreciate it more now and I feel more comfortable knowing its also an international franchise which means they have been doing this for some time and their standards are different. I even got a 40% off discount as it was my first time. For those still looking for The place to get an eyelash extensions, Browhaus would probably be it.
