Lashious Inc

I’ve been to Lashious twice. The first time I was with Tania, second time with Kasia. As a relative newbie to lash extensions I was glad Kasia took the time on my first visit to walk me through different lash lengths, thickness, and materials. I’ve heard horror stories where girls develop allergic reactions to the extensions — I’m allergic to cats, so was glad Kasia suggested synthetic rather than silk or mink. Both Tania and Kasia were very friendly. The facilities itself is in a cozy home on 14 St (entrance is through side of house). One thing I noticed and appreciated about the facilities is its cleanliness. This was seen in reception area, bathroom as well as the work stations. Tools are organized on a trolley and there is a sanitation station in the room. There are comfortable beds (that warm up!), blankets and pillows, and soothing piano music playing which make the entire experience very relaxing. I almost fell asleep both times. Both times the girls had to get up at one point during the appointment to either greet an incoming client or take a call — which is fine and expected — and I appreciated them using hand sanitizer before getting back to work on me. These small things really show hygiene is top of mind here.
In terms of the actual service, the first time I got a free leg massage — I think because I was a new client. That was a treat. I have very sensitive eyes that spaz if there are foreign objects being used in the vicinity. Both times the ladies were accommodating and able to work around my twitching eyes. The first time I got lashes done, I opted for the thicker synth lashes. The end result was a very full, dark lash look. Tania did mention at the end of the service that because I have thin lashes, it was difficult for the thicker lashes to bond to my lash, so she used a variety of thick and thin. This would later make sense because many of the lashes began to fall off the 3 – 5 days following my service date. I was disappointed because I do not wear eye make up which usually helps extend the life of extensions. Previous times I’ve gotten extensions at other salons have mostly stayed in tact for at least 2.5−3 weeks with minimal fall outs. I felt it had something to do with the fact that thicker lashes were used. Fast forward to my 2^nd (fill) appointment I fed this back to Kasia and she used the thin lashes instead. 7 days after my service date, no major concerns with the lashes coming off so I think the result of my 1^st appointment had to do with the fact that I asked for the thicker lashes and not with the workmanship. I’m pleased with my lashes and even more so by the service of Lashious. PS. Tip: If you rebook right away for your next appt, you get 10% off.

Debating on whether or not to get eyelash extensions for an upcoming event, my girlfriend recently had her lashes done at Lashious and raved about her experience so I figured I’d give it a try.
Nestled in a converted house (the spa is the lower level of the complex), I made my way down the stairs and was warmly greeted by Tania. She went over the waiver and amenties that the spa also offered (accuncture, cupping, etc). For an additional $ 20, I had the option to have a leg massage during a portion of my lash application — sure, why not!
Tania went over the different options of lashes they had to offer and after answering all the questions I had, I went with her suggestion of the silk lashes. I made myself comfortable on the spa table (cuddled up in a fluffy blanket that was offered) and Tania started the process. I really appreciated her talking me through everything she was doing — taping my lower lashes, cleaning my lashes and esp when Debbie came in for the massage. Could you imagine not being able to open your eyes and all of a sudden someone starts touching your legs/​feet?! That would have scared the bejezuz outta me!
Not gonna lie, I fell asleep almost as soon as the massage started — it was so relaxing!
The lash application did take the full 2 hours and it was totally worth it! Besides a few lashes that I’ve lost (due to natural shedding of my lashes), they still look as good as the day I got them done.
They currently have a promotion on where you get 50% off your first service, in addition you get 10% off your next service if you re-​book right away and a referral program (10% off for each person you refer to the spa — which is stackable — 10 friends would mean 100% off!)
No question that they’ll be seeing me in a few weeks time for my lash fill!

I wanted to try eyelash extensions again for an upcoming trip, but I wasnt very happy with my last experience getting them done. While looking for somewhere new, I came across Lashious — I had driven by before and was a bit skeptical, but I’m very glad I gave it a try! I’m in LOVE with my new lashes!
The spa is located on 14^th Street, and offers ample parking in the back (huge plus). Upon entering, I walked downstairs into the cozy space and was greeted by soothing music and the unmistakeable spa lavender scent. There didn’t seem to be any other clients there, and the place was quite small — a room for lashes, another room for massages/​acupunture, along with a small restroom and coffee station. However, it was extremely clean and well set up for the small space. While I filled out a consent form, I was offered tea or water and eventually led into the room. What I liked about Lashious vs. other places I have gone to for extensions, was that there was an actual spa bed as opposed to a chair you had to lean your head back in, which can get extremely uncomfortable during the procedure.
Tania started working on my lashes right away (no relation to the Tania MediSpa next door — phew!) and I was instantly relaxed. She is extremely talented and experienced, not to mention friendly and professional. While receiving my service, the massage therapist gave me a 5-​point pressure massage with the oil of my choosing on my legs and feet (an extra $ 20). Nice touch! The massage itself wasn’t great, but I was given a warm fuzzy blanket afterwards and promptly fell asleep during the 2 hours it took to apply the lashes. I was told that they use Lavish products exclusively, and although the procedure itself was extremely gentle, I did have some slight stinging from the glue afterwards, which subsided about 30 minutes later. Nothing major, I was able to drive home without a problem. I was also informed that they do cupping (along with the acupuncture), which I’m very interested in trying out.
Since getting my lashes done, I have lost approximately 5 — fantastic for almost a week of having them (while on vacation!). They are a lot thicker than the last place I went to, because at Lashious I actually had a choice in what style I wanted (unlike the last place which shall remain nameless). I ended up choosing the silk lashes, the curl is perfect and you can tell that they’re good quality. I absolutely love the end result! Their prices are on par with other lash studios in the city and the service is great — no gossiping or gum chewing here. I would absolutely recommend Lashious — they have some fantastic promotions for new clients. I plan to return very soon to maintain my new look!
