Eyelash extensions, comprised of hundreds of individually-adhered eyelash hairs, are an exciting addition to the modern beauty routine - who wouldn't want to automate a normally time-consuming process? Within the past decade several salons in the Baltimore, MD area have begun to offer lash extensions, along with a few dedicated lash boutiques. However, it's clear that anxiety surrounding the quality of lash extension services has dampened local client uptake (and understandably so). Who hasn't had the misfortune of spending $250+ on a fresh set of lashes, only to have them all fall-out within a matter of days?¹
This sense of frustration fuels the ethos underpinning Baltimore's only science-based lash extension provider, Lash Lab of Baltimore. We are aiming to standardize beauty services to ensure consistent results across all of our Aestheticians - we have proudly developed a proprietary Algorithm based on our Bilayer Lash Technique.
So where can you find the best lash extensions in Baltimore? Lash Lab is heads and shoulders above the area lash extension providers in terms of our commitment to precision + perfection. We are the only lash provider in the city with a modern outlook on the beauty industry: we are pleased to work with one of the finest cosmetic formularies in the world to offer Certified Vegan, Cruelty-Free + Low-Waste services.

Science-Powered
Our founder is a Harvard-educated cosmetic scientist + public health specialist; she has a background working within the beauty industry in the start-up space as well as established corporations such as L'oreal. Along with a team of nurses, opthamologists, public health specialists + cosmetic scientists, our leadership consistently reviews the written scientific record for updates regarding product ingredients, health biohazards, and application techniques.
High-Quality Adhesives + Lashes
Figure 1. Kalentin High-Quality Lash Formulations
We proudly utilize the world's most exquisitely formulated professional lash product line -- Kalentin®. Based in Italy, Kalentin® has a 40+ year legacy of developing professional salon + spa products that are renowned worldwide. In our search for a professional supplier, our scientific team closely assessed the ingredients list - we are firmly committed to providing as clean of an experience as possible free of parabens, hydroquinone, and unnecessary fragrances.² Beware of "Lash Techs" using inferior Made-in-China product that leads to improper adhesion, lash fall-out, and ocular irritation.
Trained Aestheticians - No "Lash Techs"
As lash extensions are a relatively recent addition to the American cosmetological repertoire, many state boards of cosmetology have been slow to institute regulatory protocol. As a result, independently operated "Lash Techs" have filled the void with unauthorized 1-day "certification courses" held in hotel conference rooms. At $1500-2000 per participant, these illegal trainings are often more profitable than the provision of eyelash extensions! A certificate (likely printed from Canva) does not guarantee adequate education on basic technique, custom lash design + requisite sanitation protocol.³
We uniquely require all of our Aestheticians to possess at least 30 credits of collegiate coursework in Biology, Chemistry + Math, which enables them to effectively master our proprietary Algorithms + application techniques.
Affordable Lash Extensions in Baltimore
While Lash Extensions are an extremely convenient beauty service, they can require a costly upfront investment. With this in mind, we have set prices that are extremely affordable for clients here in Baltimore given the level of expertise + quality we possess. We also have pioneered several creative payment mechanisms to allow you to obtain Lashes at a reduced out-of-cost price via our Lash Lab X membership, and Partial.ly integration.

We're always seeking to make the delivery of our services even more convenient for our consumers. We understand that lash extensions can be a pricey up-front investment, which is why we're pleased to offer an Afterpay®-like solution for our clients when you sign up for a Lash Lab membership: Partial.ly®. Partially does not require credit checks, and payment terms can be customized to your unique financial needs.⁴
Luxury Ambiance
From the moment you enter the Lash Lab, you’ll be steeped in luxury. Our inviting boutique salon space will be a respite from your daily schedule - from the warm professionalism + white glove service of our Aestheticians, to the vegan massage chairs that relax you during your service. Finish off your visit with a bit of bubbly — all of our clients leave with Complimentary Prosecco or Moet Chandon champagne.
Sustainable
Kalentin is leading the charge by transitioning into paper recyclable packaging + removing unnecessary chemical additives from its formulations. In addition, we've developed a Low-Waste lash extension service by utilizing as many sanitizeable implements as possible and recycling any other waste byproducts. Through our partnership with Terracycle, you'll soon be able to save money on lash services by bringing your empty skincare + cosmetic packaging for recycling!
Vegan, Clean Beauty
One of our proudest accolades is that we are the first lash extension provider in Baltimore to provide Certified Vegan eyelash extensions! In addition, all of our professional products are Cruelty-Free. While many "Lash Techs" may claim that their lash products are Vegan or Cruelty-Free, very few can be certain. Most "Lash Techs" are sourcing Made-in-China product form e-retailers like Amazon, Ebay + Wish. Not only does China REQUIRE animal testing for all cosmetic production, it also very laxly enforces sanitation protocol for manufacturers.
Algorithm-Based Precision

In order to guarantee 100% perfect lash extensions to all clients, we've painstakingly developed the Lash Labᵀᴹ Algorithm. Our proprietary Algorithm (patents pending) is designed to incorporate over a dozen unique data points - ranging from the interior humidity to your desired lash length. Our Algorithm is based on the Geometric Foxᵀᴹ design, a sultry + modern take on the traditional cat-eye lash. This framework was developed with the modern day woman in mind, who requires a daytime look appropriate for the corner office that will still turn heads at Happy Hour.
Lash Lab Insurance Guarantee
We're proud to be the 1st provider of lash extensions nationally that is willing to guarantee the longevity of its services for a full 14 days. Lash extensions are simply too costly to offer just a few days of wear-time, and we feel confident that we have perfected our application technique. If you experience uncharacteristic fall-out within 14 days of any lash extension service, we will gladly provide you with a complimentary Backfill to your desired fullness. Guaranteed.
3-Step Sterilization Protocol

Our team of cosmetic scientists have devised a systematic method for sterilizing all implements used with our services. We recycle and/or compost all plastic, paper, and disposable items that cannot be sterilized. Reusable metal implements are debrided with an organic cleaner, sanitized in an all-natural 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, and then sterilized in a hospital-grade autoclave oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. All lash beds and chairs are free of cloth or absorbent material to enable us to sterilize with Hydrogen Peroxide in between uses.
