Services
Eyelash Extensions
Custom eyelash extensions enhance natural lashes with volume techniques that add density and length. Clients choose between Luxe Wearability or Maximum Glamour styles. Hollow-core extensions bond securely to natural lashes without damage, providing a low-maintenance beauty solution that lasts weeks. Ideal for those seeking full, fluttery lashes without daily makeup.
Microblading
Semi-permanent microblading creates natural-looking brows through precise strokes that mimic hair. A two-step process ensures optimal color retention and definition. Perfect for sparse brows or those seeking symmetry, with touch-ups available to maintain results. Requires a consultation to assess skin suitability before treatment.
Brow Shaping
Precision brow shaping removes stray hairs using hard wax for clean, defined arches. Combines waxing with henna tinting to enhance brow fullness. Suitable for all skin types, with minimal discomfort and longer regrowth periods compared to traditional methods.
Bridal Makeup
Custom bridal makeup includes a trial session and day-of application with lashes included. Travel fees apply within SLO County. Designed to ensure camera-ready looks that last through ceremonies and photoshoots, with options for bridal parties.
Makeup Lessons
Personalized makeup lessons teach application techniques using clients' existing products. Covers skincare prep, color theory, and long-lasting wear tips. Ideal for those seeking confidence in daily makeup routines or special occasion looks.

Wow! Can't say enough about this place! They have me addicted for sure. Be sure to see Brittanee. Can't miss that beautiful girl, big brown eyes and a personality that puts you at ease immediately. Never have I looked so beautiful as I did that day I walked out of Wink! Unfortunately I don't live there so I had to find a Brittany replacement when I got home. There are no replacements. Had several different places do my lashes but none compared to Wink. I'll definitely be going back!

They give me beautiful lashes! I like the flexibility of scheduling. There are multiple girls there so it's great if you are busy and have limited dates/times available. They all do a good job.

It was my first time getting extensions and I had a wonderful experience with Brittanee! She was simply amazing and a joy to be around. I am in love with my lashes and will be recommending her to anyone who is looking for lashes in the area.
