wowza. didn't think it was possible. an even more amazing lash extensions goddess hath descended upon us. no secret, i'm a full on extension junkie.
and now, mama's got a brand new crush.
Courtney – at the new(ish) lovely STRIPT WAX BAR on West 3rd Street.
have her put her "Lashfully Eyelash Extensions" on you and the lightest, most beautiful, natural, no one would ever know, non-drag queen lashes can be yours.
i have never had such light, clean, non-fake looking extensions, ever. and i've been wearing them since 2007. (yikes). and, so far, over a week in, they have totally lasted, practically every single lash. but it is how natural they look and feel, that is really the knock out here. as is COURTNEY – she's amazing, divine, sweet and talented. love her.
while we're on the wax bar itself, let's not forget – they do hardcore lovely waxing. it's a salon dedicated to the art of waxing. They've been featured on CBS The Doctors, Joan knows Best, On air with Ryan Seacrest; Manny On The Streets, and will be listed in Allure Magazines May 2012 Waxing Directory.
They specialize in men’s and women’s waxing and offer Stript Wax Bar signature Vajacial, Brazilian and custom facials. The Los Angeles location also offers eyelash perms and tints, and South Seas custom full body spray tan. They also host Lashfully Eyelash extensions and Amy Shabani; a Licensed Physical assistant with over 10 years of cosmetic fillers, Botox and Intramuscular vitamin injections experience.
if you've never had extensions – Courtney is the perfect start. I am totally obsessed with her.
