St.Pete Specialist

St.Pete Specialist works in lashes and brows from a unit in Pinellas Park. According to the salon, its approach rests on the belief that every client should be able to look and feel at ease with themselves. The owner also teaches lash and esthetics courses.

Lash extensions are offered as a full set from $130, booked as a 2 hour 30 minute appointment, in either a natural wispy look or a bold, dramatic volume style. A full set typically takes 2 to 2.5 hours depending on fullness, and the business says it should last three weeks or more with proper care. A mini touch up from $45 covers 45 minutes between fills and becomes a full fill if many lashes are missing. A standard fill from $65 takes 90 minutes and needs at least 70 percent of extensions still in place, usually booked two to three weeks after a set. An extended fill from $75 takes 120 minutes, needs at least 40 percent remaining, and is often used for fills four weeks or longer out or for heavy lash loss. New clients coming from another artist or salon can book a foreign fill from $85, a 2 hour appointment; if the existing application is not healthy for natural lashes, a removal may be needed first. Membership fills are offered, though no price is listed.

For clients who want a lift rather than extensions, Korean lamination starts at $70 and takes one hour. It lifts lashes from the root using keratin-focused formulas, and a tint can be added for $15. The Opal free patch test costs $40 and takes one hour. It is intended for medium to high risk clients with past reactions to traditional lash adhesive.

Brow tinting starts at $10 and takes 15 minutes or more. Three options are listed: a brow dye that colors only the brow hairs, a hybrid tint that colors the hairs and skin and is described as lasting 14 days, and a henna that colors the hairs and skin and is described as lasting up to a month. Brow waxing is $15 for a 30 minute appointment performed by an esthetician.

To prepare for lash work, clients are asked to arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes without mascara and to avoid caffeine beforehand. Lashes should stay dry for the first 24 hours, and oil-based products should be kept away from the lashes because they can reduce retention. Guests who arrive more than 15 minutes late have their appointments cancelled and rescheduled. Same-day cancellations are charged the full service amount, and repeated last-minute cancellations move to full payment in advance and then to a block on future bookings. New clients receive a lash bath with a full set at no discount, and lash baths are also sold and refilled.

Lash products, adhesives, tools and accessories are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged, and gift cards, sale items and opened lash trays are non-returnable. Online orders are processed in 2 to 5 business days, excluding weekends and holidays, with standard shipping taking 3 to 7 business days and expedited shipping 1 to 3 business days. Delivery times are not guaranteed. Damaged or defective orders must be reported within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and replacement or store credit is at the business's discretion.

Built on the belief that everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin, with a range of natural and dramatic lash looks, fill tiers based on how many extensions remain, and a patch test for clients with past adhesive reactions.
