I have been going to Francesca for years now, and even though it takes me an hours drive door to door it is definitely worth it! After going to several other local eyelash extension salons there really is no one else that compares in terms of value for money, comfort in wearing the eyelash extensions and the overall look! Francesca really does wonders and it is literally impossible to tell that they are even extensions! I honestly cannot stress how happy I have continued to be and would urge anyone who is considering eyelash extensions to give the salon a try...they will not leave disappointed. 10/10!!!
Eyelash Extensions Technique
Are you looking to extend your lashes but not sure because you’ve heard of bad experiences that has put you off? Have you had a bad experience, love the look and not sure who to go to? Do you want a glamorous look that you can wear indefinitely that also looks after your natural eyelashes?
The emphasis on eyelashes is huge right now with women wanting to enhance their lashes to be bigger, better and more beautiful. Just look at what the celebrities are wearing such as Cheryl Cole and ladies on programmes such as The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE).
There are a few different methods of extending your lashes from wearing temporary solutions such as false strip lashes and clusters you can buy at the local drug store to having a professional treatment promoted as eyelash extensions which will last longer.
If you are looking to enhance your lashes professionally be aware there are several treatments that are promoted as ‘eyelash extensions’ but only individual eyelash extensions will look after your natural lashes and give you longevity with a great result.
Have you ever heard a friend say, ‘I had my eyelashes done and it was the worst experience of my life. They were itching and painful and I had to have them removed’, or ‘They were so uncomfortable I pulled them out and was left with no natural lashes.’?
FACT: Most eyelash enhancement treatments such as express eyelash extensions, cluster lashes or party lashes, after continual use, will cause natural eyelash damage through:
• premature lash loss,
• weak lashes
• thinner sparse lashes in re-growth.
This is because these treatments bond more than one natural lash to the extensions placed in the lash-line. Eyelashes grow at different speeds and are at different stages of their growth cycle thus making the faster growing lashes pull out the slower growing lashes when bonded together.
Bigger is not always better! The super fake-look treatments are simply too heavy for most natural lashes to support the look which will cause the natural lashes to fall out sooner. Do you want a glamorous look that you can wear indefinitely that also looks after your natural eyelashes?
FACT: The professional treatment of individual eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. This is because each extension is bonded individually to each natural lash therefore enabling the natural lash to grow at its own pace without being stuck to the lashes next to each other.
An ethical technican will never put an extension too heavy for your natural lashes. They want you to enjoy the treatment and keep the look through in-fills. Without natural lashes you cannot place an extension!
'I have had lashes extenisions once before by another company and it was the worst expierence of my life, 3hours of stinging, watery, glued together eyes. I was put off getting them done again. I was introduced to Lash by Francesa and I was very happy with the service. My first full set took just an hour and I was pain free and very relaxed during the treatment. I have been back for an infill since. The lashes look great and really enhance your eyes!' Sarah Louise Goodam

Be educated when looking to enhance your lashes and be aware of the different techniques of eyelash extensions and choose the right treatment for you!
I have been wearing eyelash extensions since 2007 and I consistantly have over 100 lashes in each eye. I look after my lashes and I just keep getting compliments!' Francesca Middleton

I booked in to do LASHbyFrancesca's Master's Course in London and it opened up a new world for me. The one-to-one training meant I had 100% of her attention and I learnt how to style 6 advanced lash sets and we touched base on the four basic lash sets that are taught on her foundation course.

Dina Dickson
I myself wearing for years eyelash extensions. Wow, I must say that I am more than thrilled about the real mink lashes that you have delivered me. They are gorgeous and the most natural lashes that I have worn!! You do not even feel them. So all the time I thought I wore mink lashes but the real mink lashes of your company are superb! I am so happy with these products. And also the glues are fantastic, no irritations, no itching.

I have been going to see Francesca for my lashes for almost 3 years now...and there is a reason for it! I had been searching everywhere for individual lashes and they were either too expensive or individual to them meant cluster!?!? Finally I found Lash by Francesca and when I first saw my lashes I was stunned. She is so quick, my eyes weren't stinging because of any type of solvent. In fact I couldn't smell anything at all and the reactions I got from people was great! I love the fact that people think my lashes are real and I am more than happy to let them think that.
Regina Mensah-Poku
I have tried many different types of lashes over the two years that i have now been going to see Francesca and have always been delighted by the results.. She is a meticulous technician and obviously loves her work. It is always a happy experience visiting her and leaving with fabulous lashes. I cannot imagine naked lashes anymore and am now a bona fide lash addict thanks to her! I cannot recommend her enough.
