Zandile Dube never considered she would be owning her own business at 24 years old - let alone the best lash salon in the UK. Allure Lash Lounge on Cheltenham Road was recently voted the nation’s best just two years after it first opened.
Lash extensions are becoming as popular as getting your hair cut or visiting a nail salon. In big cities like London, lash salons are emerging on every corner but there is still only a handful in Bristol.
“It takes quite a lot of art,” owner Zandile explained. The process involves placing individual synthetic lashes onto each natural eyelash to add length and volume. Enhancing lashes dates back to Egyptian times but became more popular in the 1940s and 50s during the Gold Age of Hollywood.
