Where to Go for the Best Lash Extensions, from New York City to Los Angeles

Craig McDean

Take it from anyone with an eye for eyelashes—there’s been a recent shift when it comes to what qualifies as an exceptional set of fringe. As one Vogue editor put it recently: “A few years ago people would ask me what mascara I used—now they ask me where I get my extensions.” With chic new lash salons popping up across the country and masterful sleight-of-hand applications becoming increasingly fine-tuned, it’s never been easier to achieve a supernatural effect. Case in point: At Manhattan lash guru Soul Lee’s new private Flatiron studio, clients like Zoë Kravitz and Chrissy Teigen rest on a soft white treatment bed as four different sizes of synthetic and silk hairs are staggered along the lashlines with pin-point precision, tapering outward into a gentle flared shape for an eye-opening swoosh that lasts approximately three weeks. The idea, says Lee, isn’t to look like you’re wearing false lashes. It’s to mimic “your own [fringe]—only prettier.” With poolside days and seaside nights requiring otherwise minimal makeup, it sounds like the ultimate summertime beauty quick fix. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best salons in the country to bring you the semi-permanent solution that promises to top even your favorite waterproof mascara.
