Eyelash lift and tint.
First time experience of this treatment, and it was amazing. Shannon was very professional and explained each part of the procedure as she treated me and was also very friendly and helpful.
The finished look was better than I thought it would be.
A very happy customer and
I will definitely be returning for further treatments.
