An easy hack to wake up feeling and looking good without all the effort is to get a set of lash extensions. It adds just the right touch of oomph to your everyday look, and you might not even want to get out your makeup in the morning. Always at the forefront of all trends, beauty and otherwise, Cape Town has a host of salons that specialise in upgrading your lashes.
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibres (often made with silk or synthetic mink) that are carefully and precisely attached to your natural lashes to make your lash fringe look fuller, longer and darker.
Customised individual eyelash extensions or eyelash clusters are applied to each of your natural eyelashes using special semi-permanent glue and last as long as one’s natural lash growth cycle.
Here are a few salons in Cape Town offering eyelash extensions:
Lash and Brow Bay
A good set of eyelash extensions makes all the difference, but a lash and brow combo is the ultimate way to enhance the clean natural beauty of your face. For R299 (instead of R600), you can make your eyes pop with an eyebrow wax or thread, a hybrid eyebrow tint, and classic eyelash extensions package. Click HERE to find out more.

Cape Town Travelling Therapist
Did you know that eyelash extensions have an indirect anti-ageing effect? While the lashes themselves hold no anti-ageing properties, they cause a ripple effect. Lash extensions mean less eye makeup. Less eye makeup means you’ll be applying fewer makeup remover products and rubbing your eyes less. This will leave the skin around your eyes supple and wrinkle-less for longer.
Spoil yourself with a set of long-lasting lash extensions for R225 (instead of R500) without even having to leave the house. Cape Town Travelling Therapist will come to you. Click HERE to find out more.
