Lash Out

Lash Out operates a lash studio in Ahwatukee, Phoenix, with a training and supply arm known as Lash Out Academy and Supplies. The studio focuses on eyelash extensions, applied one at a time to each natural lash using synthetic, mink or silk extensions.

A first full set takes roughly two and a half to three hours. Refill visits take about an hour, and the business recommends booking a refill every two to three weeks to keep lashes looking full. Clients are asked to remove eye makeup or wear none before the appointment, and makeup remover cloths are available at the salon beforehand. During the visit, clients can chat with their lash artist or simply rest in a recliner while soothing music plays.

The business uses a standard adhesive and a sensitive adhesive. The standard formula is described as formaldehyde-free and medical grade. The sensitive formula is offered for clients with delicate eye areas and omits carbon black. The business says its adhesive lasts longer, resists water well and gives off little fumes compared with other products, and that its extensions can help protect natural lashes from curling and mascara damage. It also says its estheticians are licensed and that its technicians train for months under strict quality-control standards.

Each natural lash is extended individually, with a choice of standard or sensitive adhesive depending on the client's comfort.

The studio has recliners and plays soothing music during appointments.
