We offer various types of eyelash extensions that are weightless, soft and seamlessly attached. Medium full or glamour sets, all tailored to your preferred length and thickness.

We use a medical grade adhesive that has worldwide regulation approval.
If you have hair that is kinky, curly or unruly, or just plain out of control, get ready for a life changing experience.

Master Barber
“I discovered my true passion for barbering with all types of fades and hairstyles, always striving to learn the new trends while keeping up with classic styles. I take my time and put my heart in every haircut as the passion for barbering runs deep in my roots as my grandfather was a professional hairstylist and my great grandfather was an old school barber back in East London. I enjoy doing kids haircuts and adding fun designs and creating something special. I love to deliver top notch customer service to everyone, keeping you handsome and providing the classic barbershop vibe where everyone is welcome!” @barberzakk
