You can read more about their services on their website. Pertaining to this post, the information about Milly's services are here:

Milly's Eyelash extensions

Outlet: Milly's Suntec City Mall
Date Visited: 30th July 2016 (Saturday, made the appointment on Friday)
Service: Single Lash - Royal Furlash
Lash Type (how they position/ glue the lashes): Cute (safest option according to them)
Length: 8mm and 10mm alternate
Total time: 1hr 40 mins (5pm - 6.40pm) 
Their website says single lashes take 60 to 75 minutes. I'll explain later.

So anyway. One very important thing to remember at ANY salon is that you need to be super sure about what you want. It's the third time I'm at Milly's for eyelash extension. Compared to the beauty salon SKiNN (Djitsun Mall) I was previously at, the lashes are much softer and comfortable. 

Don't be afraid to ask for suggestions if you need to, or if you have no idea what you want. After all, they see the products / services all the time. 

But also be equally unafraid of telling them no if it's NOT what you want. 

Pardon the lighting. The eyelash area in Milly's (suntec) is dimly lit, with the lamps your consultant (Milly calls them staff) shine on your face. So the photo has well, bad lighting. And i had to quickly and secretly snap the photo while lying down haha. 

​I chose the cute type of positioning the lashes because according to the staff at the counter, it's the safest option, and allows your eyes to look bigger :/ ​

Types of "patterns" - Much like how you would choose the patterns for falsies.

It pretty much depends on how you want to look, and some of these lash types means you need a certain length for your extensions. The longer it is, the more cumbersome to wear. Beauty requires effort and pain and money. 

Back to why this session lasted a good 30 mins more than their expected time. 
The second time i was at Milly's, i realised that the staff did something great - She didn't put the extensions for all my lashes, because the natural lashes closest to the insides of my eyes tend to point downwards. The previous times when all my lashes were extended, the ones on the inside of my eyes irritated my vision. Today i told Anna not to extend all the lashes. The photograph above shows how it looks the first time she finished. Your eyes are taped and all, so there wasn't a chance I could have found out before that I wasn't perfectly happy with it. 

She then had to add a few more lashes on the inside :) 

No full-on taping and all that the second time, and when I opened my eyes the top extension stuck to the bottom lash and she had to save the bottom lash from being pulled out. Sigh.
But generally much better. 

Photo from the lift lobby (again weird lights, Suntec lobby M). I am so bad with photos :( 

At the end of your session you get this name-card sized card which you can use to redeem your complimentary touch up within 7 days. 

Actually at this point of writing (7 hours later), I've already lost one lash while washing my face. So if schedule permits, I try to go for the complimentary touch up. The first week after the extension your lashes fall off the quickest, so going for the touch up helps sustain the lifetime of your extension, and makes your buck count :) 

Final reminder, try not to go for these beauty sessions with make up on. Because they'll have to remove it for whichever area you're treating that day, and that you end up with weird uneven splotches on your face. I either do that, or if my appointment is after work, I make sure I go home after that. But it's up to you I guess. 

Love.
