Unico Artistry

Anh Pham founded Unico Artistry, which sits in the Madisonian building beside Simply Soulful and Cafe Flora, with its own parking lot and free hourly and longer street parking nearby in the residential area. The studio describes itself as a top studio in Madison Valley. It is open Wednesday to Friday from 10:30am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm, and is closed Sunday through Tuesday. Clients can book and manage appointments through the Vagaro booking site or by texting the studio.

Lash extensions come in two styles. Classic sets bond soft single fibers to each natural lash to add length and natural density, and a full set runs $215 with Emily Gormley or $245 with Anh Pham. Volume sets use the Russian volume technique, with 2D to 6D fans applied to one natural lash each, at $290 with Emily or $330 with Anh. Price may rise if a client has more natural lashes than usual. Touch-ups are booked two to three weeks after a full set, cost $120 to $140 for classic and $140 to $160 for volume, and need about half to 60 percent of extensions still in place; with 20 or fewer left on each eye, the visit is treated as a full set. Full set clients receive a lash aftercare kit, and clients coming from another salon for a fill are asked to text for a consultation before booking. The lash lift is a semi-permanent, cream-based treatment with no lash adhesive, taking 45 minutes to an hour. It is offered without tint for $115, tint alone for $40, or with tint for $135, and can include a hydrating mask add-on called Lash Botox. The studio says the lash lift products stimulate growth and increase the thickness of natural lashes.

Brow shaping starts with a consultation to agree on the shape, followed by cleaning, trimming, waxing and tweezing; it is $40 alone or $70 with tinting. Brow lamination smooths brow hairs to hold a chosen direction and can add fullness or cover scars and gaps, priced at $100, $135 with shaping, or $165 with shaping and tint. Lip blush is a semi-permanent tattoo procedure for clients new to permanent makeup and costs $500 plus tax. The studio says it lasts up to two years before another session is needed, and a follow-up 8 to 11 weeks after the first session is $160 plus tax. Professional body hair removal by waxing is also offered.

Training is offered in lash extensions and lash lift. Classic Lash Training is a two-day beginner course at $1,500 in a group of two or three or $1,900 one-on-one, covering workplace set-up, application, aftercare, removal, photography, pricing and social media marketing, with a kit valued at $250 and a certificate of completion. Volume Lash Training is a two-day course for experienced lash artists at $1,900 in a group or $2,500 one-on-one, covering Russian volume fanning, layering, fan placement, crystallizing, styling and retention, with a kit valued at $350 and a certificate. A one-day Mentoring Program at $950 runs from 10am to 6pm with one model and a Master Artist present to help with volume work. Lash Lift Training, for cosmetologists and estheticians, costs $600 in a semi-private group or $900 one-on-one and includes an Inlei accredited certification, a student kit, live model practice and lifetime mentorship.

Appointments require a valid credit card to reserve a time, and a non-refundable deposit is required for lash full sets and permanent makeup. Cancellations and reschedules need 24 hours notice; later changes or a no-show are charged 100 percent of the appointment cost to the card on file. Arriving 15 to 20 minutes late may mean losing the full service, or the appointment may be cancelled with 50 percent of the full price charged. Clients who book ahead get access to priority slots, including evenings and weekends.

Built around a consultation, with each service tailored to the client's goals and attention given to aftercare.
