Polaris Lash Studio

The studio was founded by Katie Braylyan, who also works as the studio's lash artist. She began her career as a licensed aesthetician before focusing on lashes, and she has pursued professional education across the United States, Australia, Canada and Russia.

The studio's core work is lash lifts and customized lash extensions. The Keratin Lash Lift lifts natural lashes without extensions and includes a keratin conditioning treatment, while the Korean Lash Lift curls natural lashes and is shaped to each client's eye shape. Either lift can be paired with a tint. For extensions, options include a Classic Full Set, a Hybrid Full Set that mixes classic extensions with volume fans, a Russian Volume Full Set built from fine fans that can range from soft volume to full glamour, and refills for extensions that have naturally shed.

Clients are asked to arrive with clean lashes, free of mascara, makeup and oils, and to mention any allergies or sensitivities. Fills are recommended roughly every two to three weeks, and a full set may be needed after significant shedding. Appointments are booked in advance, a valid credit card may be required to reserve, and changes need at least 24 hours' notice. Current hours, prices and availability are listed on the booking calendar and the Vagaro booking page rather than on the website.

Other offerings include Brow Lamination, which is customized to each client, gently sets natural brow hairs and lasts about four to eight weeks, and the Skin Rituals Signature Facial, which focuses on relaxation and easing facial and neck tension through lymphatic drainage, myofascial release and other hands-on techniques. The studio also runs education and one-on-one mentoring for certified lash artists, covering lash extension and lash lift training and advanced technique refinement.

Built around customized lash work, with each set or lift planned for the client's eye shape and natural lashes, and an emphasis on technical skill, careful product use and a personal approach.

The studio is relaxing and upscale, with a calm and comfortable setting.
