Karachi
Mubashir Khan Salon
@mubashirkhansalon Location: 47 - C, Lane 4, Shahbaz Commercial, Off Saba Avenue, Karachi. A favourite of Karachites for all the hair drama! Also offering services in lash extensions. With a reputable name as this one, you can hardly go wrong. Nevertheless, we did a little digging for ya’ll lovely Weekenders & the reviews are 5 stars. Ask for Mehwish, we’ve been told she’s great with application. *Currently having a summer offer - Eyelash extensions in just 6000.
FACTS, COSTS & RISKS
& the procedure
The procedure Think of this as a 1.5-2 hour nap, while the technician does her magic and attaches faux, mink, silk or human hair lashes to your own. Faux and mink being the cheapest and comfortable while the more expensive ones ie human hair & silk lashes weigh heavy and can feel quite uncomfortable (they tend to fall out quicker too).
4
2
Makeup It’s advised not to drag your liner too close to the lash line but that doesn’t mean you cant wear your friday night smokey eye look! Just avoid liquid and oil based eye products & ditch those mascara’s beaches honestly you ain’t gonna be needing them anyways.
3
The look Based on your preference and eye shape, your technician will give you a custom eye look & it won’t feel or look anything like strip falsies. You have the freedom to pick your length/curl, a natural look (Classic) or a more dramatic one (Volume).
5
Fall out
The Care
The hassle of getting refills every 3 weeks may sound overwhelming & like a lot of effort BUT guess what! You can make them last longer, provided you take good care of them. Just don’t get water on your lashes for the first 24 hours & avoid oil based makeup or remover.
Yes your natural lashes do shed but not always! Apart from the natural fall out, lash extensions can be prevented from damaging your own lashes. Avoid plucking/pulling the falsies as they are attached to your own lashes. & brush them everyday regularly with a spoolie to keep them tall and tangle-free.
