Lovely treatment and really relaxing and effective. My skin always feels plumped and more youthful. My lashes are normally very straight and short, the lift makes them stand out much more.

Eyelashes or no eyelashes

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I was recommended Tao after a colleague in work had eyelash extensions done for her sisters wedding. They looked fabulous so I was very excited to have my first set of eyelash extensions done at Tao for my birthday holiday treat- my first holiday in years.

However within 48 hours I had a big clump of lashes fall out, followed by 3/4 singular lashes in the same day. All from the same eye. I have taken photographs for reference.

I was given good aftercare instructions from the lovely beautician, which I followed, however in less than a week- and on holiday for my birthday- the majority of the eyelashes have fallen out and the eyebrow tint I also had done at Tao has completely come off.

I am very disappointed to say the least. I paid a good amount of money after receiving a good recommendation and feel nothing less than absolutely let down! I will be contacting Tao on return from my holiday- eyelash and eyebrowless!!!

Once again the beauticians at Tao have been caring and efficient and willing to fit in an appointment for electrolysis at extremely short notice. Michelle made me feel better about my appearance in the run up to some work related meetings. Even when I have been negligent about self-care they sort me out - and give me free samples and advice. Yay Tao! I’m a grateful customer.
