Story time! My lashes initially done in Jacksonville, FL and then at another salon in DC since moving here in January. While I've had lash extensions since November, not once did any of the techs at the other salons tell me the extension length I wanted was WAY too long for my natural lashes to support. I was having to spend tons of money each week to get a fill because my natural lashes just couldn't support the weight. Still being a newbie to extensions, I knew something didn't seem quite right with my current extensions but I just didn't know for sure. I decided to switch salons and booked a "fill from another salon" and was told to text photos of my current lashes to the Art of Lash. Within 10 minutes, Malin called me to discuss my current lashes and the possibility that they won't be able to fill on them. She suggested we re-book as a removal and full set (which is precisely what we did). When I arrived to Art of Lash for my consultation and (possible) fill, Christina sat down with me and completed a consultation before looking to the damage that had been done by other places. This is the first time I've had anyone really take me through the steps and ask me what I was looking for. She provided pictures of different shapes and before/afters of people to show the results. When I finally laid down and Christina saw my lashes, she was pretty upset. She said there was 1) WAY too much glue 2) way too much length (only 30% of your lash length max, mine were more than 50%), and then 3) multiple extensions glued together- meaning there was twice the amount of weight per lash. NO WONDER WHY I HAD SUCH A HIGH TURNOVER RATE!!! My lashes simply couldn't support the extension that were incorrectly and unskillfully applied by other salons. Of course this meant Christina had to remove my old extensions and then apply a full new set. Yes, it was a lengthy process (especially if you're not someone who can fall asleep aka me), but it was SO SO worth it. My lashes look amazing now and are much healthier with a normal turnover rate. When the appointment concluded, Christina was super helpful in giving me aftercare instructions, recommending a cleanser, and recommending I use a lash serum (since I like length & the extensions from before damaged my natural lashes). At the other two salons before this one, I was NEVER told how to clean and care for my lash extensions so this was so incredibly refreshing. Yesterday, I had my first 2 week fill. This was the first time since November I have been able to retain lashes this long and not look like a crazy person. Christina informed me my lashes were growing back in pretty well & my retention rate was awesome. Amazing what can happen when the proper length is used and care instructions are given! Art of Lash has changed my world! Moral of the story: if you're looking at reviews on here to make an informed decision, you've found your lash place. Don't risk your lash health just for cheaper prices elsewhere because this salon is 110% worth the cost. Christina is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and an overall kind person. The salon is gorgeous and has wonderful aftercare products for sale as well! You won't regret getting your lashes done here! read more

Art of Lash - Before! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Perfect lashes loved when I was able to go here. Pretty impossible to get an appt if you work 9-5 though.

I am moving away and feel sad to be leaving Art Of Lash behind. Malin is a brow wizard. She is very responsive, careful with her hands, and a warm personality. My eyebrows have never looked better. Malin, thank you so much for boosting my confidence! read more

I've been going to Malin for a couple years for lash lifts/tints, and most recently for a brow shaping/tint. She is incredibly meticulous and I couldn't be happier with the results -- I've tried other places in the DC area, and none of them compare. I love waking up feeling like I'm already ready to go! read more

Christina y'all Christina! She is amazing!! She fixed my lashes from another salon after so many lashes fell out after a few days! She literally saved my life! Not even being dramatic! She is super sweet, gentle, knowledgeable, and AMAZING. Please go see her! I mean it! Will definitely be back! read more

I had the best experience! After spending years in DC looking for a reliable eyebrow person I can confidently say Art of Lash is the best. They take their time to personalize the treatment to you and your goals. The process was painless for an eyebrow lamination, shape, and tint. My eyelashes were also lifted and tinted. I have never had so many compliments and LOVE waking up with a ready to go face. read more

I don't know where to start. Making is so amazing at her craft. I came in for a brow shaping and tint. As this was my first visit with her, she sat down with me for a very thorough consultation about what I wanted as an end result. Durning our consultation she explained everything that she wanted to do. Once we were done with that, she got to work! She explained detailes of what she was doing. Once she shaped my brows, she let me peek at them before she started tweezing. Once she was done with that, she started applying the tint. She made sure that it was covered and where she wanted it to be. Once that process was done, she went back over to make sure my brow shape was, what we discussed during our consultation. I had one final look, and I was in love! Please schedule an appointment with Malin, it is so worth it. No one will every touch these brows again! read more

Christina is great and professional. Love what she did to my eyelashes and they last a long time without harming my own lashes.

I saw Christina for lashes and brow. We sat and did a consultation first about my brow shape and what I am looking for in my brow and lashes. I don't like to look like I have fake lashes so she made my lashes look more natural. I had eye surgery which made me lose a lot of my lashes and she assured me she wasn't going to over do the lashes so that my natural lashes grows back. She was very observant in my comfort while I was on the table and ask about my upkeep and provided suggestions on what I needed to do as aftercare. My lashes looked great and I was nervous about doing henna on my brow for the first time so she explained everything as she was doing it. I have already booked my second appointment! Ask for Christina - she was so lovely and took such great care of me! read more

I have been a client of Malin since September 2018 and have been getting eyelash extensions since 2013 in Hawaii, NYC, and DC. I have only gotten (Russian) volume extensions. Malin is unquestionably the BEST artist I have seen in terms of lash application, hygiene, customer service, and aftercare. Malin's work is exquisite. She creates each volume fan to compliment your eyes shape and accounts for the length, strength, and growth cycle of your lashes. Unlike the other lash artists I have visited, including two well known competitors in DC, I have never felt burning or stinging from Malin's lash glue; nor have I ever felt discomfort from the lash placement. Malin is also quick and efficient, without compromising the design and your comfort. She routinely finishes in less time than my actual appointment. Malin also maintains very hygienic practices. Before every appointment, she changes the sheet and wipes down the table with medical-grade wipes. She also cleanses her hands with hand sanitizer before putting on gloves and wears a surgical mask while applying lashes. She cleanses your lashes and removes stray extensions prior to the actual applicaton of new extensions. During my last appointment before the DC stay at home order went into effect, Malin gave me a mask and instructed me to sanitize my hands as well. Malin's customer service is bar none. She promptly responds to my text messages regarding appointment changes and manages to squeeze me in before I leave the city. She also notifies her clients ASAP of upcoming travel plans, so we can adjust our schedules accordingly. A few months ago, I experienced a scheduling snafu. Malin was extremely apologetic (even though she was not to blame 100%). To make up for the double booking (for which I accept at least 50% responsibility), Malin gave me a discount. It was unnecessary but greatly appreciated. Malin also provides aftercare instructions and demonstrates how to properly cleanse and care for your lashes. She provides extra lash wands applicators after each appointment. The brush and lash cleanser Malin sells are high quality and work well. She has never pressured me into purchasing her products after mentioning them once. I highly recommend using the brush and cleanser to increase retention of your extensions and maintain healthy natural lashes. Malin is also the kindest, sincerest, most genuine human being. Although I have only known her for a short period of time and only see her once a month, she always remembers our conversations. We always pick up from where we left off. I have delayed posting a review, because I did not want everyone else discovering my gem of a find in Malin. Small business owners like Malin need and deserve support from those who are able to extend their patronage, especially during economic downturns. Booking, rescheduling, and cancelling an appointment is fast and easy. You will not be disappointed! read more

Recommended! I got my first lash tint here before the holidays. The business is actually a space in the upper floor of the salon at this address, so just go up both sets of stairs and down the hall. I just looked around until I found it. Malin was waiting for me and called me in. Process was pretty simple - a quick sit down to explain and sign the paperwork, a trip to the sink to wash off my makeup, then about 20 minutes laying down while she applied the tint. She was super gentle and explained what she was doing as she went. We chatted for the 10 minutes the tint was setting in, then she rinsed it off and we were finished. Results are subtle but nice. I don't know that anyone would go "whoa", but I feel more confident with no makeup and it adds a little boost to my lazy holiday look. I'll definitely also get the "lift" next time (like a semi permanent eyelash curler), but I wanted to do the simplest option for my first try. Because she was so professional, I wouldn't hesitate to invest in extensions with her. I'm sure she'd do great work. Big props for the completely electronic booking and payment process. I booked and confirmed my appointment via the website and, later, she confirmed I wanted to pay that way. I left right after my appointment and about an hour later got a text from the service to add a tip and a review. Make sure to do this! It's a great convenience but I'm sure she misses out on some tips because folks don't complete the process. read more

Exceptional, professional, lux service. I am so pleased with my experience at Art of Lash with Christina. She is so knowledgeable and professional. I had a lash lift + tint and eyebrow shaping + tint. Because I don't like to wear makeup, I wanted a natural, low maintenance look with only my natural lashes and brows. And that is what I got! The results are dramatic and look so beautiful. Christina is an expert and walked me through each step. I will be back again and again, I very much trust her expertise. Top notch safety, cleanliness and service. Just book it! You'll be glad you went. read more

I had an absolutely incredible experience getting my brows shaped by Malin. I've been getting my eyebrows tweezed by the same person for over 10 years but realized I couldn't keep driving 2.5 hours to see her. I was understandably nervous to see someone new but I couldn't be happier with the results at Art of Lash. Malin was so sweet and professional and clearly talented. As far as COVID procedures, Art of Lash did a fantastic job. Malin used masks, a face shield and had hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes for me to use. I'm excited to check out their other services and will most definitely be using Malin to shape my eyebrows from now on. read more

My experience at art of lash was exceptional. Malin is clearly passionate about her work and treats each individual with the utmost care. I had a brow shaping and tint appointment with her in November 2019. It began with a 10-15 minute conversation about what I wanted and what look would be best for me. Malin is very intentional about getting to know her clients and what they want. She then proceeded to do just that, channeling all of her artistry and symmetry to create the perfect look. In addition to providing exceptional service, I'm also very in awe of the warm and calming atmosphere she generates in her space. read more

Love Art of Lash! Both of the lash techs care so much about their clients. I had questions about the eyelash extension cleaning process after my appointment and Malin was so kind to make time to go back over the procedure with me the next day. they treat your eyelashes like they're theirs! Would recommend Art of Lash for anyone looking to try eyelash extensions! read more

Malin's the absolute best. I have been loyal to Malin for the past year for eyelash extensions. She has a beautiful, genuine energy, and I think of her as a friend. I love catching up and talking about anything and everything as she performs her magic. Also, she always lets me know if her schedule is flexible and if I can come in sooner than scheduled. When it comes to the lashes themselves, I always leave with them looking amazing. She knows what length will look best, and my lashes are the perfect middle ground between being obviously fake and confusing my friends and family who knew me pre-extensions. Back when I got eyelash extensions for the first time, she coached me when I expressed my confusion over text. I've learned over time how to really get them to last over the weeks. I have a few tips that I learned from Malin that make a huge difference. Tip 1: train yourself to not sleep on your face. When I'm side-sleeping, I usually prop a pillow or hand under my face to elevate my eyes and keep them from touching the pillow. Tip 2: use a cleaner for your eyelashes that is meant for them. The cleaner I have removes the rest of my eye makeup too. When washing the rest of your face with your face wash, avoid your eyes. read more

I found Malin on the Style Seat app and she was so lovely! Her studio is adorable, she's so nice, funny and relateable! But best of all, she is a MASTER of her craft! I've been to 5+ different lash studios here in DC over the past year trying to find my "perfect fit" and it was at Art of Lash! My lashes are gorgeous and I didn't break the bank for them! I've already booked my fill and cannot wait! read more

I went here for my first full set of lashes and then came back a month later to get a brow shape and tint. Christina helped me both times, she really went above and beyond to make sure I knew what was going on (this was my first time for both) and she helped me figure out what would look best and meet my expectations. She was extremely thorough and friendly. I never felt rushed and was totally at ease the whole time, not to mention my lashes and eyebrows look straight up awesome. I literally recommend her to everyone and will be coming back often. read more

Malin is the best of the best. She's extremely professional and friendly. Pays close attention to every detail and listens to all of my concerns and answers all questions. I've been getting my lashes done by her for about 2 months and can't imagine going anywhere else. My recommendation for all new clients-- book your spots as soon as you can for lash fills because she's a very busy woman! read more

Can I just say..WOW! Malin is such a professional. She did such an amazing job fixing my lashes from another salon and I'm so happy with the results. The lashes look natural and soooo beautiful. Malin knew exactly what she was doing and very knowledgeable about lashes. Glad I found my new go to lash place!! Thanks again you rock!!! read more

Malin was amazing! I got the lift and tint done and I was very pleased with the results! Super professional and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend Malin. read more

I always love my lashes and Malin is amazing. She is always on time and ready to serve. Her studio is clean and she serves with a smile and I love her. read more

After trying what felt like every place in the DC area for my brows, I finally found a home at Art of Lash. My brows have never looked better than after I left Art of Lash! Christina was personable and attentive, she really took the time to get to know me and my beauty habits before she began to work on my brows. She made sure I was comfortable during my appointment and described each step during the brow shaping, consulting me for feedback before making any changes. I truly felt like a valued customer, and I did not feel like I was rushed through this service. This is something that we should expect as consumers, but more and more isn't the case when you go somewhere for a service, rather, you're just a client in their seat until the next time slot. I will definitely return and recommend them to anyone who wants to feel their best! read more

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Malin at the Art of Lash. I've been coming here for almost 1.5 years. I made the mistake once of letting someone else do my lashes, never again. Malin is amazing at what she does, I have never seen anyone in the area who compares to Malin. You will not be disappointed. Also, the studio is cute and super clean. read more
