Elite Esthetics & Lash Lounge

Elite Esthetics & Lash Lounge combines lash services with skin care for acne. The business states that its mission is to enhance each client's natural beauty and help them work toward clear, healthy skin. Averi, the owner, is a licensed esthetician who leads the lash work as senior lash technician and also specializes in acne care. She opened her own business during the Covid-19 pandemic, and she credits her clients' support and trust for her experience running it.

Eyelash extensions are customized to each client's eye shape and natural lashes. Extension fills are required every two to three weeks, and the business treats a longer gap as a new full set. The lash lift uses the Elleebana Elleeplex Profusion system, a vegan-friendly keratin treatment that the business says lasts up to eight weeks. The lift system is described as paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, latex-free and cruelty-free.

The Face Reality acne program uses custom home care and does not involve prescription medications. The business says the program usually takes about three to four months to bring acne under control, and it claims a success rate above 90 percent for the program. An express dermaplane facial is also offered, with a deep cleanse, dermaplaning and red LED light.

Permanent jewelry is custom-fitted and welded closed, in sterling silver, gold-filled or enamel, and is described as waterproof. The business also sells skincare products online from a shop of 35 items, including the Ultra Gentle Gel Cleanser at $33.00, the Age Adaptive Clearing Serum at $76.00 and the Omni Clear Mist at $40.00. Skincare products cannot be returned or refunded, and gift cards are available.
