I'm reading eyelash extension threads with interest and incredulity regarding the prices charged.
Now if any Australian wants to chime in, please do, but where I am in the various salons I've visited and menus I've seen both in the city and the suburbs, of those that are actually offering lashes, I've not seen a salon charging less than AUD$250 for a set of eyelash extensions.
That's about £150 or 170. The average charge in the city hovers around $300 (£190 or 205) and people are paying.
Some of the salons have waiting lists.
Obviously different countries work differently but wow, over here a set of eyelash extensions for £100 would be considered a steal.
This is a great point and illustrates, I think, the way that people offering full sets of lashes at silly prices (£30 ish) cheapens the whole industry. To be a great lasher takes time and experience, and people will and do, pay for this happily. I think if you pitch yourselves cheap, you attract "cheap" clients and I have learnt this from experience
I am with Vetty and would, Im afraid, assume something is not so good if its lots cheaper. Not always the case I know, but I wouldnt even go to see why it was cheap, (ie, so could be proved wrong)
