The Lash Lounge

With a network of salons scattered across Texas, Lash Lounge founder Anna Phillips uses cutting edge techniques to lengthen the butterfly-kissers of her clients and simplify beauty routines. The secret is semi-permanent eyelash extensions, made from synthetic materials and calibrated to the length, thickness, and curl of customers' desires. Each lash is attached individually using medical-grade adhesive that lasts up to three weeks, rendering both mascara and eyelid toupes obsolete. The initial treatment can take up to 90 minutes, but regularly scheduled refills get clients out and winking within a half-hour.
