Elluminize

I’ve been going to Ize for almost 4 years. I had a lot of trepidation about getting my lashes done. Before I picked Ize, I did extensive research as I’d heard that your natural lashes could be ruined. I’ve seen some comments about pricing but I’m one to pay for quality and service. I get comments about my lashes on a consistent bases because they are beautiful. I also appreciate the fact that Ize is constantly looking to improve her craft. I only get fills once a month and I’m thrilled that I don’t have to fill the typical time frame which is 2 weeks. You will not find a better lash specialist!

Well, I can’t comment on the actual lash extensions, but what I can comment on is what I was quoted for them… $ 800 for extensions that would last from 4 – 6 weeks. Hence two stars, I couldn’t afford anymore.

She is great, but her rates went way up! And she left me hanging. I had no clue she was going to start charging $ 300 for fills and $ 800 for full set. I was really upset and now I am scrambling to find a new lady:(

Ize Calina is the best of the best! I had always been worrisome of getting eyelash extensions because some that I’ve seen on others look so fake. Elluminize extensions look so natural and can withstand anything– showers, swimming, even vigorously rubbing your eyes!
Not only are the lashes themselves amazing– but Ize has such a professional and warm demeanor to her the process of getting the extensions is so enjoyable. She makes sure it is understood what your preferences are for the style of your lashes– and at the end will make sure you are walking away with no disappointment.
I have had my lashes on for six weeks and am just now going into get them filled this week, however I honestly think I could wait longer. I save so much time, being able to leave the house without makeup because with these lashes I’m always ready to go.
Her lashes are by far the best and so is she! Thank you Elluminize!!!

Ok first things first:
Undeniably, hands down the best lash extensions in the country. I can honestly say this working in the fashion industry traveling, working with models and talking with numerous women on this subject. Don’t be fooled by others … they will claim they offer the same as Elluminize. I assure you, they do not.
Now …:
Prior to meeting Ize, I had been very skeptical about lash extension, based on witnessing my friends experiences. Pricey lashes, falling out next day, and they looked more like Betty Boop than healthy natural lashes? Then to top it off they were running back to repeat this in 2 weeks or less.
2 yrs ago Ize contacted me about participating w/​two other women to chronicle lash extensions applied with her unique technique and product. Explaining the process, the product, time length of application and MOST importantly her training and experience. She trained ONE YEAR solid before taking her first client!!!
Here you can see and read all three of our unbiased review and personal expereince with Elluminize:
WOW, now thats what I like to hear from someone who is going to be applying eyelashes with adhesives and sharp tools very close to my eyes!
NOTE: 95% of lash techs mostly trained for 2 weeks before working on their 1^st client. Which is scary! Now most states have laws that require a 4 – 6 week beauty school training and licensing. Still not enough in my book.
So 2 years later. I am still a devoted client, and now residing in NYC. Sadly not even here in Manhattan no place even comes close to offering the same quality, sustainability, and customer service that Elluminize continues to consistently provide. Talking to other women from all over … they apparently do not as well and are far pricier for so-​so results and so-​so lash sustainability.
So here is my personal experience with all the different types of lashes by Elluminize:
MY PERSONAL EXP W/​ELLUMIZE MINK and SYNTHETIC:
SYNTHETIC PROS:
Affordable
beautiful and natural
lasts about 4 – 5 weeks
SYNTHETIC /​MINK BLEND:
Gorgeous multidimensional lashes
Affordable upgrade and worth it!
Generously fuller and sustains a very natural look
Last 5 – 6 weeks
MINK:
Amazing holy mother of god wow!
Expensive yes. worth it YES!!!
Lasts 6 – 8 weeks!!!
(I had the full mink applied on Sept 20 due to traveling and being busy in November and in the process of relocating I decided to not have them filled. These lashes lasted well until the end of Dec now please note not full and perfect. I am pretty sure Ize has created and founded the holy grail in lash extensions.)
Hope this helps you with your choice in lash extensions :-) Namaste friends!

If you have ever considered getting lash extensions, please do yourself a favor and go to Ize! She is truly a master — with her deft, sure hands, professional manner and friendly attitude, I felt completely comfortable and really enjoyed the experience of having my lashes put on. I’ve had extensions put on before, but never like this — Ize has a technique that she invented and perfected through much research and practice. She did an incredible job, and the short, straight, stubby eyelashes that I had always been so disappointed in were transformed by her magic powers into lush movie star peepers! I feel so glamourous now, and I get SO many compliments all the time. I’m definitely hooked, and would never want to go to anyone but Ize for extensions. I trust her completely, and genuinely enjoy our conversations — she’s a beautiful, kind person who is extremely talented at what she does.

Ize is the master of the art of applying eyelash extensions in Austin.
She has an impressive arsenal of different sizes and types of extensions. I requested a shorter lash length, so that they look more natural and she delivered!
My time is also precious, and I love the fact that I will not need a fill for another 5 – 8 weeks vs. 2 – 3 weeks (which is the industry standard). Ize’s room is also private, so you’re not lying in a room with several other customers and stylists.
The entire experience is relaxing and pain free.
Don’t waste your time and possibly damage your lashes with someone that is inexperienced.

If you are going to get lashes — then you must go here! Ize is incredible! And the lashes will last twice as long as anywhere else.

If you are looking for the very best quality, customer service, and convenience, then look no farther. I have had all services with Elluminize, and have loved everything!
I am always complimented on my beautiful lashes, and when I tell people that they are extensions, they DON’T believe me! Elluminize uses the best products, she comes to YOUR house (no traffic, no having to find parking) and completes everything in the comfort of your own home!
I would definitely recommend her – professional, polite, gorgeous, fashion forward, and very honest. You will be happy you called!

I simply love this «place». Ize is the best, charming, sweet, beautiful & best of all she is really good at what she does. My eyelashes are incredible, long, thick and beautiful. Definitely recommend.

Ize is the only one that I have received a manicure from that has done an amazing job EVERY TIME!!!
She is clean, friendly and comes to your house.
It doesn’t get better than that.
