I recall a thread where it was discussed on how to find it but nobody had ever done it. Well, Jezebel (great page!) has a review

My solution was to go the semi-permanent route by getting eyelash extensions. I am in love with the results. I no longer wear mascara or eyeliner and even at my most disgusting moments, like very early in the morning or after a sweaty gross workout at the gym, there is always an element of glamor to my face. It's kind of nice to look in the mirror again and be like, "Ooh!" instead of "Oh." Additionally, I no longer have the perpetual black/gray under-eye smudges from half-worn makeup that used to exacerbate the dark circles under my eyes.
The procedure is painless but a little time consuming. Depending on what kind of look you're going for (thickness, length, and curl) the application process can take over an hour, since each lash is individually glued to your own. But I'd rather carve out an hour one Saturday a month—in which I get to sleep while one person does my lashes and another gives me a complimentary foot massage—instead of spending tens of minutes in my bathroom working on my eyes every single day. It can also be a costly habit.

Tempting, esp in this climate where even the staunchest of waterproof mascaras don't seem to work

I didnt see your thread asking about that, or would have replied. I tried it once about 5 years back, and once was enough. Im pretty happy with my lashes as is, but wanted to see what i would be like. Maybe its the lashes she used, but It felt like little spikes poking into my eyes when i slept. Felt heavy and was very aware of them, like if you wear false lashes. I couldnt rub my eyes (not good for you i know, but i still like to do it), or wash them normally. I felt overdone and fake. I decided to try remove them, and in doing so lost clumps of lashes. My fault of course, but hated the feeling of them. They grew back thankfully!

I dont find mascara a problem here tbh, but only use a lightweight one.

If you are itching to try them out, id say check what kind of lashes they use, as they may use different kinds. The ones i tried were like false lashes and felt heavy. Just felt really fake on me, but i dont really suit a more done up look. I dont have great skin, so end up looking overdone and trying too hard with too much glamour stuff. Again, might have just been the lashes and the person doing them. Sure to be better places and lashes around. (Had mine done at a small concession nail bar place in kad suan kaew)

I've considered having this done, however the one problem I have is that my eyelashes are very fair naturally... I've had them dyed before but the dye doesn't last very long (a week perhaps?) so if I got extensions would I be able to and have to dye my eyelashes every week or so?

I've got very sensitive eyes also so getting the eyelashes dyed was a nightmare for me. I had y legs flailing in the air and I was pulling away as the dye was stinging my eyes! Hah! But I'm just a pussy obviously.

Had it done once, very itchy and same as Eek, the not rubbing your eyes part just drove me nuts...looked very nice though for as long as it las[h]ted!

[sbk]

i wonder if they use natural hair for them here?

[Carry]

I was wondering the same but I didn't think so when I had them done, it were very 'stiff' and hard extensions...maybe nowadays they do?
