Brow And Lash Boutique At Salon Monet

Don’t judge a salon by its location. Just because a place has a Newbury street address does not mean that it will be Newbury street quality.
I have had eye lash extensions done at 4 places now so I can make a good assessment on what should and should not happen during your experience.
The eyelash place is located within a hair salon. You check in at the hair salon then are taken upstairs to their lash «lair». I waited 20 minutes to get a lavilash refill even though I made an appointment one week in advance. The salon owner had locked the lash «lair» door and no one at the salon had a key. Kind of sounds unprofessional and weird considering the fact that I made an appointment. You know, when you make an appointment that gives you advance notice to prepare for said appointment?
Back to the experience… when I finally make it into the «lair» its nothing more than a walk in closet with a massage table and a big mirror on the wall. The place didn’t feel warm or inviting or much of anything. It didn’t look dirty, but it also didn’t look clean either.
My lash specialist applied my refills and we made small talk. She was nice I guess. I thought it was strange that she carried all of her lashes in her tote bag and didn’t have any standard salon supplies with her like, the paper to set your lash tools on. (I think I saw her put it on the radiator) Also, I did not find it very professional to use my forehead as a table to put the eyelashes she was going to use.
I kid you not, I don’t make these things up! The lashes looked nice initially, but one week after application I developed dry flaking skin above my eyelids. I have never had this problem before let alone at any other lash place. I went to the eye doc and they said it could be from unsanitary practice to bad glue. Who knows.
The only thing that I do know is that I will never judge a salon by its location again! This is the second time I thought a Newbury street establishment was going to be a lot more than it was.

I am a Salon Owner/​Stylist and I went to another Salon to receive Lash Extensions because I heard of the good service and lavish lashes. She is booking up pretty fast and now I know why!!! Here is my experience: Very Professional, clean, on time, picked lashes to compliment mine, asked what I expected and told me what to expect, patient, very delicate, I fell asleep, look real, lavish/​long, made my eyes smile, I am happy, did I mention, I am happy, feels natural, want them to never, ever come off, gave me info to take home to… be able to care for them and explained that as well. Well, this experience will bring me back! This is definitely second nature for her. It helps that she wears them and I see what I could expect. That helps me know that she believes in her product and you get what you pay for, service!!!
