I was left with a swollen face and in urgent care after getting lash extensions, the whole process was a total fail
A BEAUTY fan has revealed how important it is to make sure you are allergy tested before getting lashes done.
Haley Dean told how she ended up in urgent care after getting the treatment.
Taking to TikTok, she shared a video of her lash journey – which included before and after pictures.
She said: “So I got my eyelash extensions, I was feeling so pretty.
“Then I started itching and swelling a bit.”
Haley presented a picture of herself in which you can see her eyes are visibly puffy.
She then explained she had them removed, but then woke up the next day and her eyes were even more swollen.
She said: “Ended up in urgent care. Had to get a shot and on medication.”
The video was captioned: Yeah…Not my journey #eyelashextensionfail also it was not the lash techs fault she has done my lashes in the past, she’s amazing. Developed an allergy.”
Experts always urge people to get a patch test before getting the treatment.
They say it’s a great way to determine if you will be sensitive to lash extension adhesive.
Even if they haven’t had issues with lash extensions before, they can still react overtime.
Many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I took a lash course today and they told us to always do testing before you can apply them to anyone. I’ve never heard of anyone doing this.”
To which Haley replied: “Well ya see I had them for years and never had a reaction so…I developed an allergy.”
Another added: “Exact same thing happened to me.”
A third wrote: “Happened to me too. I was so sad. I even tried a year later again with a ‘sensitive eye glue’ and had the same reaction.”
