Noticing a lot more eye-batting these days? It can likely be traced back to the Noir Lash Lounge.
The salon got the wink from Westender readers for their semi-permanent lush lashes.
“We have a passion for lashes, and I think our customers know it,” Yaletown Noir Lash Lounge manager Lexi Boyd says.
Along with their lash love, what makes their lounge such a fave is that all of the staff are either makeup artists or estheticians with the expertise and technical skills to apply lashes, which last six to eight weeks, Boyd says.
“When we go with lashes, we go big,” she says. “We totally understand our clients’ obsession because we are obsessed ourselves.”
At Noir Lash Lounge, individual lashes are professionally applied with a special latex and formaldehyde-free adhesive to create longer, thicker lashes, which are individually applied and laid atop of the natural lash.
Joyce Poon started the company – which now has locations in Metro Vancouver, Alberta, Washington, and California – in Yaletown in 2008. The lash bar offers up to 100 types of lashes and shapes – from demure everyday looks to sultry lashes to plump, feathery shapes. Whatever the style, they make the eyes pop, which is why they are growing in popularity, Boyd says.
“People have discovered this new beauty trick that makes their lives so much easier,” she says, describing the benefit of lash extensions, which start at $40 and go up. “Lashes are huge right now – we have everything from the everyday gal coming on her lunch break to people coming for special events.”
Bridal season is an especially busy time, she says, adding that because business is booming they plan to hire to two staffers in Yaletown to keep up with the fluttering demand.
