Boutique shop front
Dedicated eyelash bars are popping up everywhere and leading the way is Lash Perfect Lash Bar on Carnaby Street, London.
Hailed as the market leader for semi-permanent lash extensions, the venue itself as a number of USPs like a VIP lounge, a jam-packed menu for lash and brow treatments, a celebrity clientele and DIY products and kits so you can recreate and maintain your look at home.
When I visited and perused the treatment menu, I must admit I wanted it all. First I was swayed by HD brow, then there was the full on 3D Russian lashes, but my therapist reigned me in, and rightly so suggested the half set eyelash extension. This is a good starting place if you’re new to lash extensions. It looks utterly natural and lets you get to used to the weight and feel before deciding if you want to take it up a notch on your next visit.
45-60 minute lash application
Getting it right is a bit of a science too. In the five-minute consultation my therapist took a look at my lash shape and decided on using the J-shape. I didn’t need a patch as I’ve had lashes before, but this is a must for first timers.
VIP treatment room
Usually with beauty treatments there’s a no pain no gain policy. This doesn’t apply with lash treatments, as you simply lay back, close your eyes and wake up to fluttering eyes. For more details on how the lashes are applied visit https://www.lashperfect.co.uk/Lash-Perfect-Express
My lashes looked on point for about five weeks. You have to stay away from oily products and to increase its longevity I avoided washing the area all together and used face wipes. My eyes are very sensitive so it did stream when the lashes were being installed, but again, there is no pain and well worth the treat for special occasions.
