Why struggle with messy mascara? It just runs down your face or gets trapped in the corner of your eye, leaving a gross mess. The latest trend sweeping salons across the country does away with mascara and gives you a semi-permanent solution that can last as long as you want to keep it maintained. Eyelash extensions are a relatively affordable way to ensure your lashes look thick and luxurious without applying any makeup at all. The extensions will last from two to six weeks. As your own natural lashes fall out, you'll need to refill your extensions, similar to acrylic nails.


Wink Studio

4340 E. Kentucky Ave., Suite 448
Glendale, CO 80246
(720) 209-0030

Wink Studio is a small salon just south of the Cherry Creek neighborhood. It offers the Xtreme Lashes eyelash extensions brand, which requires the stylist to be certified before he or she is able to apply the lash extension. Owner May Davis ensures that the lashes are applied professionally, as the before and after results are quite impressive. After the first 24 hours, the lashes can be treated almost the same as your own natural lashes, including eye makeup and even mascara if you still desire.  Plus the extensions last approximately two months, depending on your own natural eyelash growth cycle. Depending on the length of time between your visits, a refill can be done to maintain your new look.

Boulder residents don't have to travel to Denver to get their lash extensions. The Beauty Spot Salon in Boulder offers a full range of great permanent makeup solutions, including eyelash extensions. From individual extensions to cluster extensions (which are for shorter use and last about half the time), there are different kinds of eyelashes for every taste and style. If you have naturally light lashes, it is recommended that you get the eyelash tinting service prior to application of extensions. The eyelash tint will keep your own lashes dark, matching your new extensions. As with all extensions and eyelash treatments, you'll need a touch-up every four weeks or so.
