While recently in Paris, one of my clients was in need of lash extensions for an upcoming wedding — she was one of the bridesmaids. Seeing as I was out of town, she saw Lash Boutique stylist, Rose. Needless to say, my client was THRILLED with the job Rose did! Because she had a special occasion coming up (the wedding), Rose applied extra-long lash extensions, which looked absolutely beautiful. If you have a special occasion on the horizon, just let us know and we can make sure your lash look is appropriately stunning for the event.

As you know, I sell many products in my studio that help enhance the beauty and life of your lash extensions. One of them is the Xtreme Heated Eyelash Curler ($35). Please note that you should never use a crimping curler on your extensions, as it can break your lashes or cause them to fall out prematurely. But if you do want to opt for a more dramatic look for a hot date or special occasion, this gentle heated eyelash curler safely applies a long-lasting curl that is non-damaging to your new lash extensions. The curler includes the added benefit of combing and smoothing lashes with its patented comb-style head. Feel free to ask me more about this product during your next appointment.

I love it when wonderful things happen to my beautiful clients! One of my longtime clients, Yvette Schmitter, is a successful management consultant, entrepreneur and a dedicated advocate of women’s rights, and she was recently featured on AskMattAndTamsen.com in their “It” Girl Spotlight section. Yvette’s story is inspiring, and I am so blessed to know someone as generous and as giving as she is! She also listed Lash Boutique as one of her “It” Girl picks, too, saying, “Cheri at Lash Boutique has made sure that I never need eye makeup again.” Aww, I’m blushing. My pleasure, Yvette!

Check out this review on the lash extension application process that I just came across on iamstyle-ish.com. Note that this is not one of my clients; I just admired the blogger’s review on the extension procedure. The blogger makes many good points, including the fact that it is much better to pay a bit more to see an experienced, licensed lash stylist than to save a few dollars and run the risk of ruining your gorgeous lashes!

I’m certainly not one to brag, but I’m loving these reviews on Citysearch and Yelp! I have the best clients ever, thank you for all the kind words. If you’re thrilled with your lash extensions, I encourage you to leave a review telling others about your experience on Yelp, Citysearch or even on our Lash Boutique Facebook page. xx

Check out this vintage blog post I found from last summer! The ladies at FashionBombDaily.com wrote a splurge vs. save piece on how to get fabuLASHES (j’adore). Lash Boutique was listed as the ultimate splurge — they said we’re “amazing”! Hey, I don’t disagree…

One of my newest clients, Tina, visited me after winning an Xtreme Lashes application from a contest hosted by @WEtv. Tina told me that her eyes are her most favorite feature, so she was thrilled to try extensions for the first time. She also wrote a glowing review on the procedure for Crushable.com. “I’m not exaggerating when I say that my face was completely transformed, and I wasn’t even wearing makeup,” she writes. “Cheri the Miracle Worker meticulously applied nearly 200 individual eyelashes in just over an hour!” Miracle Worker, huh? Thanks, Tina — I’ll take it!

Supermodel and Las Vegas TV star Molly Sims came to see me before the launch of her beautiful new jewelry line, Grayce. To look her best for the big debut, we decided to go all out, so I gave Molly my Dramatic set (90 lashes per eye). Molly later sent me two text messages to let me know how much she loves her new lashes. I’ve never had a single complaint from anyone, but it was still extremely flattering to hear how happy she was!

After Glamour editor Baze Mpinja had her lash extensions applied by Xtreme Lashes® co-founder Noor Daoudi (Noor actually trained me five years ago!), Glamour.com beauty blogger Petra Guglielmetti approached me about doing her lashes. A first-time lash extension client, Petra raved about her new lashes and made the case that the cost is worth “every penny.” Click here to read Petra’s review and check out her before and after photos.
