Soft glimpse into where the magic happens and the quiet in-between moments most don’t get to see ⋆.𐙚 ̊

I’m proud to offer a space and experience that feels distinct – rooted in detail and a point of view that’s my own. The experience doesn’t begin when I start lashing. It starts the moment I greet you in the lobby and continues as you step inside and settle in. 

Come inside and stay awhile → 

#roomtour #lashroom #lashstudio #lashes #lashroomtour

A setup designed for ease, flow, and uninterrupted focus. There’s absolutely no shame in chatting or choosing a silent appointment. We can have a therapy session for hours or we can collectively pretend the outside world doesn’t exist so you can knock right out. This time is yours.

A little corner of personality and presence! Not just decor – everything here is chosen to make the space feel grounded, inspiring, and alive. And some things are here simply because they look cool as hell.

A soft place to land before your appointment begins—the corner where your belongings rest and the outside world gets put on DND. 

Texts or emails from your ex and adult responsibilities can wait… your lash nap cannot (≖⩊≖)

Keepsakes that tell a story: from thoughtful client gifts to snapshots of my work. The studio scent is more than just a subtle mix of mahogany coconut, cashmere, and vanilla; it carries intention, gratitude, and manifestations in the making for this space and every soul welcomed in it.

Cold refreshments, complimentary treats, and thoughtful touches – even the quiet utility pieces are chosen to match both the aesthetic and energy of the space. 

Because no one should have to make important lash decisions while dehydrated and hangry.

Everything you need to protect your investment is always within reach. A beautiful set starts in the studio, but retention is maintained at home. Team effort. 

P.S. every full set and Korean lash lift includes a complimentary mini aftercare kit.

A mobile little command center for the unsung heroes of every appointment... AND possibly the biggest catfish of this entire post because it definitely doesn’t stay this organized all day.

hi, i’m shella — the founder of @illuminosities.

i’m actually a lot more shy than these photos suggest, but let me tell you more about myself:

i have three children who eat for free and have never contributed to any bills (my cats). when i’m off the clock, there’s a good chance i’m watching minecraft videos because i have nothing better to do with my life. i’m also probably overwhelming myself with 17 creative ideas and projects at once because i’m too much of an overachiever for my own good. i love having a day off (in theory). i have a very calm exterior for someone with 47 tabs open in her brain. i’m either romanticizing a tiny detail or making it everyone’s problem. i like expensive things (shocker!) and work tenfold to provide them for myself. i can make a decision for your lashes in seconds but if you ask me what i want for dinner then we’ll be staring at each other all night. i also have a million different (and sometimes contradicting) hobbies, interests, and aesthetics - but somehow none of it is out of character because i’m always finding ways to put my own spin on things.

the majority of my clients come from word of mouth and there’s a tiny portion i’ve met by catfishing them with an aesthetic instagram feed. they truly keep me grounded and humble. they’ve told me to touch grass an unreasonable amount of times, but we’ve also witnessed so many of each other’s milestones together over the years. i also like to travel (like, a lot), and i’m convinced all of my clients start experiencing separation anxiety the second i announce a trip. i see them more than my own friends, but this is the relationship dynamic, culture, and brand i’ve built these last few years.

if you read through all my yapping, then this is also exactly the kind of personality you’ll meet at your appointment. bantering is a love language of mine, and i have a dark sense of humor that makes me both nervous and concerned for my overall wellbeing. i’m also a scorpio if that ties it all in.

anyway, nice to meet you ♡

so much love and thanks to @papayashotthis for these photos! taken in Anchorage, Alaska by @illuminosities

here’s a little look into another day of investing in my craft—and me trying to step outside of my shell by sharing a little more of myself so you guys can get to know me beyond the lashes (˶❛⩊❛˵)

being an artist means never becoming too comfortable with what you already know. there is always another technique to refine, another perspective to learn from, and another level of skill and intention to bring back to my clients.

my focus will always be on becoming better than who i was before. the only standard i’m chasing is my own—the goal has always been growth, never comparison. taken in Anchorage, Alaska by @illuminosities

we tried something different from her usual extensions this time 🤍

i don’t exactly know how to explain it, but not only does a korean lash lift open up the eyes from the lift— it also gives the entire face this almost unexplainable glow afterward.

didn’t have time to style these ones but she gets to wake up exactly like this.

if you’ve been following along with sara’s lash journey, here’s a real-life look at her lashes just weeks after her recent retouch.

trust me to always show you the process, the results, and the follow-up, so you know you’re investing in more than just the initial wow factor.

join me in celebrating her beauty. 
that’s all. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

still think a lash lift can’t make a difference? let me prove you wrong. add extensions into the equation and suddenly the possibilities are limitless. (っᵔ◡ᵔ)っ

august has been fully booked since the start of the month, and i’ve been doing my best to get everyone on my waitlist in wherever i can.

i have the last week of september remaining for regular availability, so if you’ve been wanting to get on my books, now’s the time!

the reveal gets the attention. but the work behind it is what makes me proud: healthy lashes, intentional technique, and results that continue beyond the appointment. that’s the standard.

i actually had to ask her if she had curled her lashes before her appointment because they were still so lifted. her response? “i’m fresh out the shower.” 😭

i knew this appointment wasn’t simply about giving her another beautiful lift, but also about nourishing her lashes, assessing how they had progressed through the lift cycle, and remaining mindful of the previously treated hair.

if you’re still reaching for a lash curler every morning — it might be time for that korean lash lift. (⸝⸝> ᴗ•⸝⸝)

this is what the best of both world looks like ✨

my client told me she wanted more than a lash lift because her natural lashes didn’t feel long or full enough, but every time she got extensions they felt too heavy and dramatic.

this service combines a korean lash lift for the perfect natural curl and then finished with strategically placed extensions for effortless length and fullness. adding in extensions allows me to fully customize the final shape and/or correct asymmetry. this is especially perfect for clients who want everyday lashes with minimal maintenance.

save this for your next appointment!
