I got scammed by a lash tech – I paid £300 to have a monster on my face & the beautician is so ashamed she’s left the UK
A WOMAN has revealed that she got totally scammed by an eyelash technician and has now been left with a ‘monster’ on her face.
Not only did she fork out £300 in the hope of getting her lashes done, but Paige Cole, who is from the UK, explained that the beautician has now fled the country.
The hair and make-up artist, who is known online as ‘Paige The Shapeshifter’ took to social media to share the blunder.
She claimed: “Storytime on this monster on my face. Also she blocked me and has left the UK.”
Paige then explained: “So here’s the story on how I became the biggest clown of 2024.
“So I met this girl who allegedly does lashes. She said ‘I would love to do your lashes and use you as a model’.

“I’ve never had lash extensions before. She was like ‘the type of lash extensions I do cost £600, but for you, I’ll do them for £300, just to cover materials’.
“She was explaining that the lashes come from himalayan mountains and that only a few people in the UK do these types of lash extensions and how they last four to five months.”
Paige then revealed that she went ahead and booked the appointment and paid an £150 deposit.
She claimed: “Let me tell you about the day of the appointment. So, I go to her house. It was a trap house. Why was there 101 animals? Ferrets, cats, dogs, roaches, just roaming free in the yard.
“Even though I’m paying £300, technically a £600 service - where’s the luxury?
“Ten minutes into doing my lashes, why is my eyes on fire? My eyes were on fire. It felt like Satan had farted on my eyes.
“I can take pain, I’ve got a high pain threshold, but that was a different kind of pain. It was burning.
“I’m like ‘take me off’. She’s like ‘yeah, but you’ll lose your deposit’.
“I was like ‘you know what, I need to get out of here’.
“So yeah, she’s blocked me and disappeared off the face of the earth. So yeah, great stuff guys.”
Paige later wrote: “I’m a clown.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @paigecolemakeup, has clearly left many totally stunned, a whopping 295,100 views.
Social media users were left totally stunned at Paige’s eye and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “You need to report her to the police. I hope you’re okay.”
Another added: “Sorry from where I have never in my life heard of £600 lashes that come from mountains.”
To this, Paige replied: “I know nothing about lash extensions, she was very persuasive. I'm a fool.”
A third commented: “You gotta expose her, hope your eye gets better.”
Meanwhile, someone else penned: “I'm not an expert, never had lashes before but I'm sure she should have done a patch test before.”
