808-329-3993*This comes highly recommended from one of my recent brides who was able to book last minute for herself and a few gals in her wedding party. They were treated excellently and were super pleased with the results.
*I am in the process of finding more nail salons that people actually love. We have a lot of mediocre nail salons here in town, not suitable for a wedding day experience (or even a regular experience, in my opinion), so unless I've personally had a great experience there, or the reviews are stellar, I won't post it on my page.
Both of the below recommendations do an AMAZING job with lash extensions (and Blink and Brows other services as well!), which will make your eyes pop on your wedding day, and eliminate worry of mascara running from tears of joy (not to mention have look look fantastic both in and out of the water).
