Forest Lake, Minnesota

Lashes that look like you, only more awake.

Classic, hybrid, YY, and volume extensions, applied one lash at a time by Paige Ojha in a private studio on South Lake Street.

By appointment, Monday through Saturday. Full sets run two to two and a half hours — the calendar usually fills a few weeks out.

A full set should last you, not just look good leaving

Most people come in for one of two reasons: to stop fussing with mascara every morning, or to look put together for something specific. Those lead to different lash maps, and that is the part worth getting right.

Isolation, every time

Each extension bonds to one natural lash. No clumping, no lashes stuck together, no damage to what is underneath.

A map built for your eye

Open, hooded, and downturned eyes each want a different curl and length distribution. You get the one that fits, not the one from the photo.

Real appointment times

A full set takes two hours because that is how long careful work takes. Nobody is rushed out of the chair.

Fills priced by regrowth

One, two, and three week fills are separate services, so you pay for the work your lashes actually need.

Services

Four styles, each with its own fill schedule. A plus sign means pricing starts there and depends on the set — longer or denser work costs more.

Classic

Full set from $160

One extension bonded to one natural lash. Your own lash line, longer and darker, with nothing added that is not yours.

3 Week Fill1 hr 45 min$55

Hybrid

Full set from $170

Classic lashes and volume fans across the same lash line. You keep the texture and realism of classic with density where it reads best, usually through the outer third. The most requested set in the studio.

YY

Full set from $155

A lightweight extension shaped like a Y, so one lash carries two tips. Visible fullness without the weight of a full volume fan — a good fit for finer or more fragile natural lashes.

Volume

Full set $175

Several ultra-fine extensions fanned and placed on a single natural lash. The densest and softest option, and still lighter on your lash than it looks, because the individual fibers are finer.

The work

Sets applied in the studio. More to come as the portfolio grows.

Aftercare

How long a set lasts is mostly decided between appointments, not during them.

First 24 hours

Keep them dry. The adhesive is still curing, and steam, sweat, and water weaken the bond before it sets. No showers on the face, no hot yoga, no sauna.

Every day after

  • Wash them. A dedicated lash cleanser every day or two. Oil and makeup buildup at the base breaks bonds down — not water.
  • No oil near the eye. Check your cleanser, sunscreen, and makeup remover.
  • Brush them. Clean spoolie, gently, each morning.
  • Do not pick or pull. A pulled extension takes your natural lash with it. If one bothers you, come in.
  • Sleep on your back if you can. Side sleeping flattens one side over a few weeks, and you will see it.
  • No lash curlers or waterproof mascara. Neither is needed and both cause damage.

When to come back

Natural lashes shed on their own cycle — you lose a few every day and always have. Extensions go with them.

How this started

Before the pandemic I was a real estate agent. When everything shut down and I was home with my six kids, I had time to think about what I actually wanted to do, and it turned out to be this. In 2020 I enrolled at the Salon Professional Academy and learned lash extensions properly.

I started out renting a single chair at a local salon in the winter of 2021. That is where I met the sisters who owned it. When they announced in June of 2022 that they were retiring, my husband and I bought the business from them.

The original location had already sold, so we went looking and found the lakeview building on South Lake Street. The old colonial bones of it were exactly what I had pictured. We moved in over Labor Day weekend and opened.

I still do every set myself. That means the calendar fills up a few weeks out — but the person who mapped your lashes in January is the same person filling them in March, and nobody has to re-learn your eyes.

Many of the clients who came with me from the old salon are still in the chair. That is the part I am proudest of.
