Glow By Pif

Glow By Pif is a lash extension studio at 6232 N 7th Street in central Phoenix. Clients travel in from across the metro area, and the studio is run by its owner, Sophia, who also works as the lash artist.

The studio offers four extension styles. A classic set places one extension on each natural lash for a natural, mascara-like finish. A hybrid set mixes classic and volume extensions for a softer texture. Volume sets use lightweight fans for a fuller look, and mega volume is the boldest, most dramatic option. The style is chosen together with the client at the appointment rather than fixed in advance.

A full set takes about three hours and a refill about an hour and a half. Extensions are attached to the natural lashes rather than the skin, and the eyes stay closed throughout. Extensions shed with the natural lashes over roughly three to four weeks, so the studio suggests a refill every two to three weeks to keep them full. Clients are asked to arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup, and to take out contact lenses before the appointment. Removal is done professionally and the studio advises against pulling extensions off at home.

The studio aims for a comfortable, judgment-free appointment for clients at any level of experience, and says it works with people who feel nervous about beauty appointments or are new to them. The business describes its lash work as soft, customized, relaxing and long-lasting. Clients with sensitive eyes are asked to mention it when booking and can ask about a patch test. Bookings can be made online through the Square booking site, or by calling or texting. A 20% deposit secures the appointment and goes toward the service, and cancellations or reschedules need 24 hours' notice.
