Tina Lash Expert

Tina Lash Expert is in Suite 102 at 3100 Airway Avenue in Costa Mesa and lists hours from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The business describes itself as the best eyelash extension provider in Costa Mesa; that is the business's own claim.

Extensions come in four full-set styles. Classic places one extension on each natural lash for a natural, defined look that adds length and thickness. Volume places several lightweight extensions on each natural lash, using handmade fans of two to six ultra-fine extensions. Hybrid blends the two techniques so the look can run from subtle to full, and Mega Volume uses multiple lightweight extensions per natural lash at the top of the price range.

An appointment usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Extensions typically last three to four weeks, and refills every two to four weeks are recommended. Touch-ups cover refills of existing sets, including a Mega Fill and a separate option for lashes applied at another salon. Lash lifts curl and lift natural lashes, lash tints darken them, lash removal starts at $45, and party lashes, temporary clusters or strips for a single day or evening, are $60.

Booking requires a $50 non-refundable fee that is deducted from the cost of the service, and walk-ins are welcome according to the home page. Cancellations or rescheduling need 48 hours' notice by phone or text, and same-day cancellations forfeit the fee. Adjustments must be requested within 48 hours of the original service and booked with the same artist within a week; they may carry no fee depending on the situation, and no labor reimbursement is given.

For aftercare, the studio suggests a gentle lash-friendly cleanser, no oil-based products, daily brushing and avoiding rubbing the eyes. Mascara is not recommended with extensions; a lash sealer is suggested instead. A patch test before the first full application is recommended to check adhesive compatibility.
