Howdy Lash

Howdy Lash is a one-person lash business in McKinney, Texas, run by Natasha Montgomery and located inside Beauty Box Studio. Bookings are by appointment only. The studio is open Monday from 10 AM to 6 PM, Thursday from noon to 7 PM, Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, and is closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday.

The core service is the full set of lash extensions, priced at $225 and taking about 150 minutes. Sets can be built in classic, hybrid or volume styles and are customized to each client, and every set comes with aftercare instructions and products to help protect the lashes. Returning clients receive $25 off a full set. Fills are booked on a schedule: a standard fill at $95 for about an hour when booked two to three weeks after the last visit, or an extended fill at $115 and up for about 90 minutes when booked three to four weeks out. Beyond four weeks, the work is typically treated as a new full set. Other services include a Korean lash lift and tint at $125, repeated every four to six weeks, which uses keratin or amino acid based solutions instead of an ammonia based perm, a lash tint at $25 that darkens lashes without mascara, and lash removal and foreign fills for lashes applied elsewhere.

A visit begins with a free five-minute consultation to talk through goals and plan the work. Clients are asked to arrive with clean lashes and no mascara or strip lash glue, and to skip coffee before early appointments. Phones are not used during application, and clients keep their eyes closed throughout. Late arrivals shorten the appointment while the full price still applies. Payment is accepted by cash, Venmo, Zelle, card and Apple Pay, but not checks, and Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment. Children under 13 are not permitted, since the studio shares its space with a tattoo studio that has hazards.
