I once heard a loc extension horror story where a girl got really cheap loc extensions. After a few days, they started to smell really bad. It turned out that the hair used was of very low quality and probably not properly cleaned before being made into extensions.
One common horror story is about hair breakage. People get loc extensions thinking it will enhance their look but then find that their own hair starts to break near the attachment points because of the added weight or improper installation.
One horror story is when the lash extensions were glued together. It made the eyes look really strange and clumpy. It was so bad that the person had to have them removed immediately.
One horror story is when the hair extensions were not properly attached. They started falling out during an important event. It was so embarrassing as strands were all over my clothes. I had paid a lot for those extensions too.
One horror story is when the eyelash extensions were glued to the skin instead of just the lashes. It was extremely painful to remove and caused redness and irritation around the eyes.
Color mismatch is a common problem. You think you're getting extensions that will blend well with your hair, but often they turn out to be a completely different color. Another is poor quality. Cheap extensions can be made of bad materials that tangle easily or smell bad.
Well, I've heard of a horror story where the lash technician didn't sanitize the tools properly. This led to an eye infection for the client. The client's eyes were constantly watering, and they had a lot of discharge. It took weeks of treatment with antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Another aspect is when the extensions are too long. They can get caught in things like pillowcases or clothing, and when they pull, it can be really painful and may even pull out some of the natural lashes.
I had lash extensions for a special occasion. But within a day, they started falling out in clumps. It looked so patchy and hideous. I think the glue wasn't applied properly. It was really embarrassing, especially since I had paid a good amount for them.
Sure. There was a time when the lash extensions were applied too close to the lid. It made the eyes feel constantly irritated and the person could hardly blink without discomfort.
Allergic reactions are the worst. When your eyes swell up and become itchy and red, it's not only painful but also a health risk. It can also be really inconvenient as you need to seek medical help, take medications, and you can't just ignore it. Plus, it means you have wasted your money on the lash extensions that you can't even keep on your eyes.
