Review Revisited: OMG Beauty in Bow Wharf - Eyelash Extensions in London

Some of you may remember the horrendous trip I had to the OMG Beauty Salon in Bow Wharf a few months back. You can find the original post here, along with lots of pictures, but to cut a long story short the ‘treatment’ I had done was awful. My ‘individual eyelash extensions’ were a complete botch job – needless to say I wasn’t happy, so gave them a very unfavourable review.

Fast forward to October, OMG Beauty has changed to OMG Beauty & Hair, revamped the salon and most importantly has a new beauty therapist. Hanna Putjato has trained extensively in eyelash extensions and is qualified to do them.

I’ve actually been trying to grow my natural lashes so when Hanna contacted me and asked if I’d be willing to come back and try the treatment again, I was reluctant. However, I realise that I’ve got a horribly negative review on my blog (which is #1 in Google when you search for OMG Beauty reviews), and I thought it’d be unfair if I didn’t give them another chance – or Hanna at least.

So last week I pottered back along to the salon I swore I’d never go back to. Gone was the dingy little area I had the awful treatment in, instead Hanna showed me into a lovely room with a treatment bed and a huge array of Individual Diamond Lashes*.

She talked me through the treatment, tucked me up on the treatment bed (literally! Haha), thoroughly cleaned my lashes, and got started. She explained what lashes would be best for me since some of my lashes were very curly, and others were quite straight.

Hanna was very lovely and I felt so comfortable that I fell asleep, I hope I didn’t snore! The treatment took about 2hours from start to finish, but I barely noticed because I was so busy chatting away – and sleeping.

I’ve used my April eyelash pictures for reference, just because they haven’t really changed much over the lash couple of months. Sad, but true.

Before

After

I’m awful at taking pictures of my eyes, but you can see how full and long my lashes are – exactly how I wanted them to look in April (!!!!). I’m really pleased with them though, because they’re not just thick and long but they’re carbon black so I look like I’m always wearing mascara.

Would I go back to OMG Beauty & Hair? I’ve already made an appointment to see Hanna again next week for a wax. But I do have to say that she is the only reason I’d visit the salon again; she’s honestly amazing at what she does.

A full set of eyelash extensions (done by Hanna, obviously) costs £65. In-fills are recommended every 2-5 weeks (depending on how well you take care of them), and cost £35.
