Lash Miami

Kristina founded the studio, which is in downtown Fort Lauderdale near Las Olas, on the 15th floor of 101 Northeast 3rd Avenue. The studio describes itself as a place for lash, brow and permanent makeup work.

For lashes, the studio offers classic extensions, UV LED lash extensions and a Korean lash lift. Its one-hour express set takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, costs from $170 and covers roughly 70 to 80 percent of the lashes, and it comes as Classic, Light Volume or Volume. The studio does not recommend express sets for clients with very sparse lashes or for clients who expect full coverage.

Clients coming from another salon can book a refill, usually within two to two and a half weeks of their last appointment, as long as at least half of the extensions are still in good condition. If fewer remain or the previous work is unsuitable, the full set price applies at the appointment. Lash removal, from $25, is done with a professional gel remover and comes as full, emergency or partial removal for correction, each including a lash cleanse and aftercare. Clients are asked to arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup.

Brow services include brow lamination, shaping and threading, tinting and henna, and powder brows. Permanent makeup covers lip blush and powder brows. Sugaring and waxing, from $20, take about 10 minutes. Gift cards are available for lashes, brows, lash lifts and permanent makeup.

Hours run Monday to Friday 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM. A public parking entrance in a nearby building charges $3 per hour on the first to third floors, and the building's own parking entrance charges $8 for the first hour, $4 per hour after that and $24 for a full day, paid on leaving.

The studio says it uses professional techniques and high-quality products and aims for polished, natural-looking results.
