The Lash of Luxury

Batting an eye is an old standby in the arsenal of feminine wiles, but guys should beware - this invaluable tool just gained a convincing upgrade.  Eyelash extensions are the newest health and beauty treatments for brides seeking to accessorize their wedding day look with extreme flutter power after Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez first sported the wide-eyed look on the red carpet.

Not to be confused with the self-stick falsies of yesteryear, these semi-permanent, synthetic extensions mimic the natural lash.  A technician applies them one at a time using tweezers and adhesive, which takes about anhour and a half.  They last for two months, and wearers can swim, bathe, shower, and workout without compromising their thick-lashed look.

where to find

Salons such as John Barrett in New York and Fred Segal Beauty in Santa Monica have added the treatment to meet demand.  New England brides can pop into Boston’s LuxLash (luxlash.com, 866-587-5274) for extensions.  The Newbury Street spa offers complete services for bridal parties.
