The Lash Lounge offers glamorous choices for women of all ages
BY WENDY SCHEURING
Women looking for a luxurious look have a new option as The Lash Lounge, co-owned by Ray and Laurensia Spurgin, opened six months ago. It is located at 2270 Town Center Avenue, Suite 101, near the entrance of Central Park at the Avenue Viera. “As a little girl, I was fascinated with lash extensions,” Laurensia Spurgin said. But Laurensia Spurgin’s quest for finding a local salon that did lash extensions began three years ago. “My wedding was here in Melbourne, and I wanted to get my lashes done. There were no salons that specialized in lashes. So, I
had to drive all the way to Orlando. I felt like there was a need. That something needs to change here. That there were women here like me that like that luxurious look.” The couple had been looking to open a franchise, and they kept bouncing around the idea of opening a lash lounge. “We fell in love with the concept. I felt it was a business that I could really relate to because I have a passion about it. I really like to see women having that confidence and feeling beautiful. This is where I want to be.” Getting an eye lash extension doesn’t hurt. In fact, it’s really quite relaxing, Spurgin said. The procedure takes about two hours and clients often

fall asleep during the process. The human eye has approximately 100 lashes. The lash stylist will extend about 80 percent of your natural lashes. A synthetic product is used to make the lash extensions look natural, and a medical glue is used to attach them. Your natural lashes will shed, however. “They can last up to a month, but we recommend coming in every two weeks to get an in-fill,” Spurgin said. Clients can choose from “silk,” which is very big at the base, like a bold mascara look, or “mink,” which is lighter than “silk,” more natural, and very luxurious, like a Kardashian kind of look. Lashes can also be tinted and curled.

“This is a new venture for me,” Spurgin said. “It’s rewarding because I really love to see when clients are coming in for the first time. They really don’t know what to expect. When we’re done,
they smile, and it’s just so overwhelming. It’s more rewarding than anything. It’s a really good feeling.” For more information, go to thelashlounge.com or call 321-328-0523.V V
