Always Lashes

Always Lashes works on lashes and brows at 615 Hope Road in Eatontown, New Jersey. It is open Wednesday and Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and it is closed Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday.

The lash menu runs from lash removal and classic sets through hybrid, volume and mega volume sets, with a lash lift and tint and a New Client Fill. The New Client Fill is designed for people coming from another lash tech and takes two hours. Classic sets start at $60 and take at least 50 minutes, hybrid sets start at $70, volume sets at $80 and mega volume sets at $90, each taking at least an hour. A lash lift and tint is $100 for an hour, and lash removal is $30 for 30 minutes.

On the brow side, brow shaping includes tinting and starts at $5, taking at least five minutes. Eyebrow lamination sets the brow hairs in a chosen direction for $50 and takes 45 minutes. The portfolio shows light volume lashes, a lash lift with brow lamination, cat eye volume lashes, classic lashes with a mascara effect, mega volume lashes and clean girl hybrid lashes.

Booking requires a $25 deposit for every full set, paid through Venmo, Zelle or the website. Appointments are not held without it. Fills are accepted only when 40 to 50 percent of the extensions remain; with less retention, the visit is charged as a full set. Clients are asked to let the salon know if they expect to be late, since full coverage cannot be guaranteed for late arrivals.

Refunds are not given on services. Concerns must be raised within 72 hours of the appointment, and a complimentary touch-up is offered in that case. Cancellations made within 12 hours of the appointment time carry a 20 percent fee, and a no-show incurs a fee of 50 percent of the service that must be paid before another visit can be booked.

According to the salon, its policies aim to balance the schedules of clients and artists while maintaining high standards of service.
