Wish you could have bridal-ready eyelashes everyday? Get glamorous with hair-by-hair eyelash extensions at Wink Eyelash in Midtown. The procedure to adhere the semi-permanent lashes takes about 90 minutes, but it's worth your patience. This service is costly and requires touch-ups to keep your lashes going strong, but with a range of lengths and thickness options, from a basic 70 lashes per eye to the "Hollywood" with 150 lashes, you can get a personalized look for the sexiest way to bat your beautiful eyes.
