Best Places In LA For Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are the newest beauty trend to sweep across Los Angeles and Hollywood. Comparable to hair extensions for eyelashes, they give your natural eyelashes more body and volume to create the illusion of larger, livelier eyes. A standard set of eyelashes runs anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on the level of service and expertise as well as the number and type of lashes used. Each extension is expertly applied lash by lash and can take as long as one or two hours to apply, as most people have an average of 30 to 80 lashes per eye.
