Application - Meticulous lash-by-lash application (extensions) or application of your chosen treatment with millimetric precision.
Check and finishing - We verify symmetry, comfort and uniformity, then make final adjustments for a flawless result.
Aftercare instructions - Detailed advice to extend the life of your results and maintain the health of your lashes and brows.

Our lash and brow treatments

Eyelash extensions - Classic, Hybrid, Russian Volume, Mega Volume

Eyelash extensions are ultra-fine synthetic lashes, applied individually to each natural lash with a hypoallergenic professional adhesive. The result: longer, fuller and perfectly curled lashes, with no mascara or eyelash curler.

Our extension styles:

Classic - One synthetic lash per natural lash (1:1). A natural, elegant effect, ideal for a sophisticated everyday look. Perfect for those new to extensions.
Hybrid - A blend of classic lashes and volume fans (50/50). The perfect balance between natural and dramatic, adding texture and dimension.
Russian Volume - Fans of 2 to 6 ultra-fine lashes per natural lash. A full, dense and glamorous effect without overloading your natural lashes, thanks to very lightweight lashes.
Mega Volume - Fans of 6 to 16 ultra-ultra-fine lashes. The densest, most dramatic effect. Ideal for special occasions or for those who love an intense look every day.

Longevity and upkeep: Eyelash extensions last 3 to 5 weeks, following the natural growth cycle of your lashes. A fill (touch-up) is needed every 3 to 5 weeks to maintain volume and density. Important: at least 40% of your extensions must still be in place to qualify for a fill. Otherwise, a full set will be required.

Lash lift and tint

The lash lift ($85 / 1 hr) is the perfect alternative to extensions for those who prefer a natural look. This treatment lifts and curls your natural lashes from the root, creating a dramatic eye-opening effect, like a permanent eyelash curler. Combined with a tint, your lashes look longer, fuller and darker for 6 to 8 weeks, with no daily upkeep.

The lash lift is ideal for people who have good-length natural lashes that point downward, or for those who want a natural look without the upkeep of extensions.

Brow lamination

Brow lamination ($90 / 1 hr) is the on-trend treatment that restructures and smooths your brow hairs in the direction you want, creating a full, neat and groomed effect for 6 to 8 weeks. This treatment is perfect for unruly, sparse or asymmetrical brows.

Lamination with tint ($100) - Add a tint for more defined brows and an even more striking effect. The tint darkens fine, downy hairs, creating the illusion of greater density.

Lash Lift + Brow Lamination combo

Our Lash Lift + Brow Lamination combo ($165) is the ideal package to enhance your whole gaze in a single session. Curled lashes and sculpted brows: you leave our salon with a transformed look, no makeup needed.

Results and what to expect

Eyelash extensions - Immediate, dramatic result. Lasts 3 to 5 weeks with proper upkeep. Regular touch-ups recommended.
Lash lift - Immediate result. Lasts 6 to 8 weeks. No daily upkeep required.
