LUCKY J8DE

Lucky J8de is a lash extension studio in Rockville, Maryland, previously operating under the name Sen Lashes. Catherine "Baby", Catherine Ta and Catherine are listed as its founders, and the studio describes itself as a luxury lash studio known for refined artistry, lash retention and a lash health-first approach. Those are the studio's own descriptions.

Each appointment starts with a design built around the client's eye shape, daily lifestyle and preferred look, which can range from natural to fuller. Russian and American volume styles are both offered. The Jade Signature is a fully customized set that takes about two hours and is recommended for first-time clients; new clients pay a $50 deposit toward it and are asked to arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup. Clients coming in with another artist's extensions must book a removal first, followed by a Jade Signature, because the studio does not accept foreign fills. Existing clients can book the Signature Refresh or the longer Elite Restoration, each with retention requirements.

Bridal packages come in three tiers: Silver, Platinum and Diamond, each including a free aftercare kit and a set of one, two or three fills within two weeks of the last appointment. Maryland hours run Tuesday to Thursday from 11am to 8pm and Friday from 10am to 3pm. Virginia clients are seen Saturday to Monday by appointment only and book by text. Appointments are intentionally limited.

The studio also runs training for lash artists: a two-day Foundation Course with Catherine Ta, a two-day Volume Course, and a Refresher Course for experienced artists who bring their own tweezers. Foundation covers lash anatomy, eye health, sanitation, mapping, adhesives, application, removals and client consultations. Volume covers fan shaping, eye shape technique, correcting asymmetry, tape techniques, pricing and marketing. Course deposits are non-refundable.

Refunds and adjustments are issued as store credit or gift certificates, and adjustments are honored for up to two days after the service date. Individual, group, promotional and sale services are non-refundable. Appointments can be rescheduled up to 24 hours ahead. Cancelling less than 24 hours before incurs a 50% charge, and a no-show results in the card on file being charged the full service price.

Each set is built with bespoke lash mapping, advanced isolation and weight-balanced techniques in a private studio, and the studio describes a lash health-first view of care.
