Olesea is the best lash trainer in Arlington Heights. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and teaching it to others. I have learned so much from her. These photos are from my lash lift and tint class today. ?

It was truly an amazing experience! I took the basic eyelash extension course from at Lashbou Academy under the guidance of the salon owner, Olesya ? Sooooooo I hesitated for a long time and was afraid to change my field of work. But when I decided to go to Olesya, I was pleasantly surprised. She has extensive experience and professional qualifications, and I realized that this is exactly what I needed ?? I was particularly impressed that the training didn't just consist of theory. We were all actively working in practice, our instructor readily answered all our questions, and there was a very friendly atmosphere in the class. Thank you so much ?

Natalia was wonderful at making the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable for me. The lashes look great and I am very pleased with the results. I asked for a natural look and that's exactly what I received. Natalia was excellent at explaining about the process and the after care recommendations for a longer lasting lashes. The price was very affordable also.. Keep the good work!
