Lesson learned the hard way: $300 down on a lash lift kit I shouldn't have bought

I decided a few months back to save money by buying a professional lash lift kit online instead of going to my usual esthetician in Portland. Watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials and thought I had it figured out. Well, after the first try my lashes came out looking crimped and uneven, not curled at all. Tried again a week later and ended up with a mild chemical burn on my eyelid that took like three days to heal. Total waste of cash and now I have to pay my girl $85 to fix them. Has anyone else had a DIY facial or brow disaster that just wasn't worth the savings?

My friend Jess melted her bangs off with a cheap at-home keratin kit.

wait how do you even melt bangs off with a keratin kit? i thought that stuff was supposed to make your hair smoother not set it on fire.

omg I read somewhere that if you use a keratin treatment with too MUCH heat it basically turns into a chemical straightener and can literally singe your hair off. That's why I only trust the salon for that stuff now.
