Eyes are the windows to the soul? Hah, maybe last season. Eyelash extensions – feminine, fluttery add-ons to your natural lashes – are the new, fierce way to flirt. One blink and he’s butter. The lash craze started in Southeast Asia a few years ago and has since fluttered its way east from Cali (I knew those Laguna girls had an advantage.) But how tough is this salon procedure on your eyes, let alone your wallet? As the New York Times reported today, the silk-and-polyester falsies take about two hours to apply, leave you with 80 to 100 new lashes, and run anywhere from $300 to $500. Monthly maintenance also tacks on $50 to $150 a month. But, c’mon, you can’t put a price tag on gorgeous, Bambi-esque lashes! The process is a bit involved, a delicate operation of tweezers and adhesive, so pick a salon that knows the drill. Salons like Louis Lacari and Bergdorf’s John Barrett are touted experts, as is Pierre Michel – New York magazine’s “Best of New York Beauty 2006” winner and one of the first east coast salons to lash out. So there you have it. Give that mascara wand the day off and embrace a wink that'll sink ships. Long, stunning lashes? Flutter on, flutter on.
