As Hong Kong social distancing rules relax further to allow beauty parlours to reopen, we’re listing the best places to get eyelash extensions in the city to help make your eyes pop behind the masks this season

Last year was one that changed everything—including our beauty routines. With mask-wearing has become part of the new normal, many of us found ourselves started investing in skincare solutions to combat maskne and new make-up products to try out all the mask-friendly make-up trends—you guessed it—smokey eyeshadow, winged liner and thick eyelashes. 

It’s always fun experimenting with new beauty products and make-up looks, but when it comes to the eyes, the faff of fake lashes and woes of messy mascara can add a lot of unnecessary frustration and time to getting ready.

If you’re one of those people wishing to save some time doing make-up and look fresh, bright-eyed 24/7, be sure to visit these Hong Kong beauty salons to experience the transformative power of eyelash extensions.

1. Suavis Lash Couture

There's nothing generic about Suavislash Couture, deemed the most luxurious eyelash salon in The Landmark, where it is fittingly situated in shopping centre's new beauty and wellness space. If you’re seeking a highly exclusive setting, look no further than this studio’s completely private salon rooms, themed Black or White. For the woman on the go, the convenient location makes Suavislash Couture an ideal option for a lunch-time touch up or mid-day beauty nap (or both!).

Suavislash Couture takes its commitment to safety very seriously. "We send all our staff to train in Japan,” says co-founder Noel Chan. “And the basis of our company is founded on Japanese training systems and techniques."

Suavislash has also developed its own training academy in Hong Kong, from which it’s developed three bespoke techniques: “classic”, which produces a clean and tidy look; “volume”, for a distinctly more dramatic look; and “mix”, a hybrid of the first two. From these techniques, clients have six more style options to find that exact look.

2. Cerynne

Resting above Lan Kwai Fong, Cerynne will usher you into a dimension of calm not normally found in Hong Kong. The name Cerynne, says owner Lucine Zhu, is a play on the word “serene”, which Zhu hopes to achieve with every aspect of her studio, from decor to services. 

“We may be the least commercialised beauty salon in Hong Kong,” she says. “We'd like our clients to relax and truly get back to themselves in a peaceful environment while they enjoy a quality service at the same time.”

Cerynne focused on nails exclusively when it first opened, but the eyelash and micro-blading services that were introduced later have since become the studio’s most popular services—though many appreciate being able to get their lashes and nails done at the same time. Their silky, long-lasting and lightweight lashes come from Matsukaze and Miss Eye D'or, the top two eyelash brands in Japan.

Browhaus might be best known for their brow embroidery service—which features a stellar technique to create natural-looking strokes—but their lash treatment deserves a special mention, too. Dedicated to offering guests a premium eyelash extension experience to help them look and feel amazing, Browhaus has a team of experienced in-house and international staff who always prioritise the safety and health of guests’ existing lashes.

Their signature treatment, “Lash In Bloom” is offered in three types of extension: multi lash design that applies a bunch of lashes on a single lash to create a fuller effect; strand by strand extensions for a more natural look; as well as cluster extension that features an application of lashes on the eyelids for that added drama.

Established in Japan in 1987, Kesalan Patharan is a known name to Japanese beauty and skincare aficionados in Hong Kong. The company opened its first Hong Kong-based cosmetic shop in 2002 before introducing eyelash extension services four years later, and now has three locations in Causeway Bay, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.

 "[Our] most popular service is definitely the Eyelash Designing Service," says brand marketing manager Jenny Lo. Kesalan Patharan's series of specialised lash products also give customers access to professional-grade yet user-friendly items that help them cope with any of their beauty needs. 

Lo shares that many of Kesalan Patharan's clients choose the studio because it uses certified materials from Japan and for the natural look its trained specialists are able to create. "It's loved by the general public," she says, "who are seeking a non-exaggerated way to wear lashes in their daily lives."
