If you’re a fashion-conscious Woodland Hills gal reading this article, you already know that the eyelash extensions industry has absolutely exploded over the last few years, and whether this is an answer to women’s increasingly busy lifestyles or their desires for effortless “I woke up like this” beauty is borderline irrelevant – lash technology has advanced so dramatically that even ABC News is predicting a $1.5 billion market by 2024.
In a hyper-image-conscious town like L.A., it’s nearly impossible to walk down a city block without running into a boutique or salon that touts services offering “the sexiest lashes you’ll ever see,” drawing throngs of SoCal fashionistas to their chairs like a moth to the proverbial camp fire. Still, for every legitimate lash studio, there are a dozen performing sub-optimal work just to cash in on the hot trend, so we’ve collected our favorite trusted eyelash salons around Woodland Hills to help sort it all out for you.
