Housed in a shophouse in the enclave of Tiong Bahru, this cosy little salon is perfect for those who enjoy some quiet me-time as they’re getting their lashes done. Owner and founder Cassandra Lim opened Smitten Beauty Studio, which is her first lash salon, after realising that there were very few lash salons in Singapore that could help her achieve that coveted voluminous effect for her peepers. In fact, she went as far as getting herself certified as a lash therapist and thereafter delved straight into joining the beauty industry.

“The most popular style [among my customers] is definitely the Hollywood Flutters! It is glamorous, brings attention to the eyes and gives you the eyeliner effect,” says Lim. “Although voluminous, the lashes are lightweight, soft and fluffy so you won’t be able to feel a thing.”

One of the new styles that Lim offers is The Foxx, which is quickly gaining popularity among her customers. 

"The difference in this style is that it is more lifted and people who have single or heavier eyelids can choose this as it is more prominent," Lim shares.

Those who enjoy completing their eye makeup look with an eyeliner flick at the back can also choose this style for a "foxy look".

Tatler Tip

Just like Lim, I prefer lash extensions that are extra voluminous and dramatic so this is the spot to try if you want lashes like Huda Kattan or Kylie Jenner. The lashes here also last much longer than regular extensions. On a separate note, Lim also offers eyebrow embroidery services (including that coveted ombre look) so that's an extra service to explore at this salon. Appointments during the Chinese New Year 2022 period are now available so book soon.

J.Lashes is among the few lash salons in Singapore that can help customers achieve that coveted wispy, mascara effect for the eyes. Granted, the sessions here may take longer than usual but that’s only because most of their lash styles require each natural lash to be completely covered. The salon’s signature TuTu Volume style is perfect for a special occasion or if you’re keen on a more elaborate look and was initially designed specifically for Asian women in mind.

Tatler Tip

There’s a reason why the sessions here take a longer time; and that’s because each therapist is extra meticulous and can apply as many as 15 lashes onto each natural lash. This technique practised by the therapists here is unique and has been tweaked over the years to suit different eye shapes, so just relax and enjoy the process.

If you’re looking for lash extensions that will remind you of the Kardashian sisters, this is the right place. An avid fan of lash extensions herself, former cabin crew Gwendolyn Toh, 29, opened her own salon after feeling discontented with services she had undergone herself before.

“Having tried out lash extensions myself in the past, they seem to always feel uncomfortable and cause my own lashes to fall off really quickly,” says Toh. “Wanting to find the best methodology to ensure utmost comfort, I went on to learn more about how it’s done and find out solutions to perfect the craft—and that’s how Dr Lash was born.”

The salon’s bestselling Karlashian series, which is meant to mimic strip lashes, is highly popular among the salon’s clientele so put that on your list of lash extension styles to try.

Keen on getting both your nails and lashes done at the same time? Flutters Lash & Nail Parlour conveniently offers both services, so you can get dolled up in one place.
