Woman looked 'like a zombie' after extreme reaction to lash extensions sealed eyes shut

The phrase 'no pain no gain' often gets thrown around by diehard beauty buffs, but dealing with the consequences of a treatment that goes wrong can leave people feeling seriously regretful. One woman has revealed a horrific allergic reaction to eyelash extensions that left her housebound due to a fear of scaring children with her terrifying 'zombie' eyes.

Haley Fetzer, a teen from Ohio, US, could have never imagined how painful a simple lash treatment could become when she excitedly booked her appointment. A fortnight after a successful lash extension treatment, Fetzer booked in to get an infill - essentially a top-up to her fluffy lashes. In the hours that followed, the young woman's eyes became troublingly bloodshot and started secreting a 'goop' every time she blinked.
