LASHIVIOUS

Lashivious is an eyelash extension studio in Round Rock, Texas, serving the North Austin area. It focuses only on extensions. The studio describes itself as a self-made business with more than ten years in operation.

Full sets come in four styles. Ellipse, also called flat or cashmere lashes, places a flat lash on each natural lash ($135, about 1 hour 45 minutes). Wet-Look uses handmade closed fans ($155, about 2 hours). Hybrid mixes closed wet fans with wide or narrow volume fans ($165, about 2 hours). Volume is made entirely of handmade fans and can be customized in length and fullness ($180, about 1 hour 40 minutes). Fills are offered for clients who have 40% or more of their extensions remaining: Ellipse ($70), Wet-Set ($75), Hybrid/Volume Standard ($85), and Foreign Fill for lashes applied at another location ($100). Ellipse, Wet-Set and Foreign fills include a complimentary lash bath and blowout. Lash removal ($25) is available only to current clients or to clients who need removal before a set.

A free 30-minute consultation is recommended for clients with possible allergies or those unsure which service to book. During it, the technician decides whether existing extensions must be removed, which may carry an extra fee, and a patch test is advised for anyone with past reactions to lash products. The technician may decline clients who already have extensions or who arrive with dirty lashes or makeup on the lashes. Lashes are cured under a UV lamp system that sets them in real time. Brown lash tones are stocked, and some color lashes are available on request.

Bookings are made ahead of time and walk-ins are not taken, though same-day slots may open up when you call or text. The studio runs 9 AM to 6 PM daily, with hours that can shift depending on client availability, holidays and weather. Services begin and finish punctually, so a client who arrives late receives a shortened treatment at the full price. Arriving more than 15 minutes late without notice is recorded as a no-show. Cancellations require at least 24 hours' notice, and bookings made within 24 hours must be cancelled at least 4 hours ahead. Cancelling because of illness requires 6 hours' notice. Deposits, which range from $15 to $40 depending on the service, are non-refundable, and neither services nor fees are refunded. Lash work can be removed or adjusted within three days of a service to the client's satisfaction at no added charge. Clients must be 18 or older, or 15 to 17 with guardian or parental consent. Children, extra guests and animals of every kind, including assistance animals, are not permitted in the studio. The studio address is sent the day before a service. Name, email and phone number are collected to manage bookings and send reminders.

The studio names customer service and long-term friendships with clients as its top priorities.
