Lashing Miracles

Towards the end of last week we had a lovely client come to the shop. She was leaving for her graduation the following day. She was receiving her Master's Degree. More than anything else, in preparation for her big day, she wanted lashes. What's new you might ask? Well, about six years ago she had an accident and a chemical was spilled on her eye causing her to lose all of her lashes in one of her eyes. The lashes that remained were virtually microscopic. Nonetheless, Olivia worked her magic and low and behold we were able to give this lady beautiful lashes. She was so happy she became emotional and teary-eyed. We told her, "Don't cry it will mess up your lashes"! LOL We all laughed.

All joking aside, this was a huge deal to this client. She was very self conscious about this. Many people take various things in their lives for granted, such as our health, our bodies, and even our lashes. You don't stop to think about how it might feel to lose something that affects how you look. We have seen this with cancer patients and others that become intensely self conscious about their looks and their loss of hair.

So, when we say we perform miracles it is not only about performing a very difficult lashing procedure on a client. It goes beyond that. It is about helping someone build their self-esteem. It is about helping a human being feel good about how they look. It is about instilling confidence. It is about helping someone feel beautiful. These are all truly miracles and when we can participate in that process we are so grateful. So, thank you to that beautiful client for allowing us the opportunity to be involved in her personal miracle. Thank you Chicago for allowing us to service your lashing and other beauty needs here at Chicago Lash Lounge.
