The best lash salon in Andorra passes these 8 checks before touching your eyes

How can you tell if a lash salon is good?

A lash salon is good when what it promises can be checked: prices in writing, infill deadlines in days and an appointment that starts with a look at your eyes. Pretty photos on social media tell you nothing about how they treat your own lashes.

The list below has 8 objective checks. It works for any salon in Andorra, and you can go through it in 10 minutes between the website, a phone call and your first visit.

1. Visible hygiene in the room and on the tools.
2. Lash mapping before starting.
3. Isolation: one extension per natural lash.
4. Materials explained openly.
5. Infills with a clear deadline in days.
6. Prices published before you book.
7. Online booking with a fixed time.
8. Cancellation rules in writing.

Hygiene: the first thing to look for when you walk in

Hygiene shows in three details: a clean cover on the bed for every client, tweezers disinfected between appointments and washed hands or gloves before anyone touches your face. If any of these is missing, nothing else matters.

The eye area is delicate. Dirty tweezers or a reused brush that has not been cleaned can cause irritation or conjunctivitis, and that ruins any result. Look at the spoolie brushes too: the norm is a new one for each person.

Ask how they clean their tools. A serious salon will explain it in two sentences.

Do they map your lashes before starting?

A good salon spends the first minutes of the appointment studying your eyes: shape, spacing, angle and how your lashes grow. That decides the length for each zone, the curl and the thickness.

Skip that step and the result comes from a template. The same 12 mm C curl opens some eyes and closes others. At Migami every lash appointment starts this way, and we have a full article on how we design lashes for your eyes, with example lengths by zone.

Isolation: one extension, one lash

Isolation means separating each natural lash from its neighbours before the extension goes on, so each one grows and sheds on its own. It is the biggest difference between careful work and rushed work.

If two or three lashes are glued together, the shorter one pulls on the others as it grows. The result is discomfort, lashes falling out early and gaps. When you leave the appointment, run a clean brush through gently: each lash should move freely. Before you book, see how to choose a lash tech who masters this step.

At Migami we work lash by lash with this method, which Denia Lemus, the lash artist who runs the salon, teaches the same way to the whole team.

Materials: what to ask and what answer to expect

Ask what thickness and curl you will get, and why. Extensions usually range from 0.05 to 0.20 mm thick, and the most common curls are J, B, C, D and L; a professional will tell you which one suits your natural lash.

• Thickness: the finer your own lash, the lighter the extension should be.
• Curl: J is the straightest and most subtle; D and L lift far more.
• Adhesive: ask how long you must keep them dry; 24-48 hours is typical.

If you have sensitive eyes or allergies, say so beforehand. If you are unsure about adhesives, read our guide on which lash glue to choose for your case.

Infills with a clear deadline in days

An infill should have a set deadline in days and a different price from a full set. Each natural lash falls out and is replaced in about 4-8 weeks, so after 2-3 weeks there are already gaps to fill.

At Migami the rule is simple: if you come back within 18 days of your last appointment for the same service, you pay the infill price. After that, the full price applies, because there is more work to redo.

Lash lift, brow lamination and Express Lashes have no infill: lifts and lamination last 6 to 8 weeks and are redone in full.

Prices published before you book

A salon that publishes its prices lets you compare calmly and avoids surprises at the till. Be wary of an «it depends» with no figures: the price changes with the technique, but each technique has its own.

At Migami every service is on our lash and brow price list, with the length of each appointment. You can book lashes and brows in the same appointment. If you choose a lift and lamination, the lash lift and brow lamination offer costs €79.90 instead of €99.80.

Can you book online and cancel without paying?

Yes, at a good salon you choose the day and time online and know from the start what happens if you have to cancel. Written rules protect both sides.

Migami is open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 to 18:00, by appointment only. Cancelling or moving your appointment is free with 16 hours' notice or more, from your account. With less notice part of the price is charged (€2.50 per 15 minutes of appointment) and, if you do not turn up, the full amount, paid at your next visit.

To pick a slot, book an appointment online and choose the day that suits you.
