Be
bold on your wedding day with beautiful lashes. Sabrina
Simmons, owner of Lashing Out Beauty Lounge in
Oxford, is a licensed esthetician and certified makeup artist with
more than a decade of experience.
Lashing Out Beauty Lounge is
located at 1013 Snow St. Sabrina
works by appointment only.
You may contact her by calling
256.225.4797 or messaging her
on the Lashing Out Beauty Lounge
Facebook page.
“Mink eyelash extensions are
the hot thing right now,” Sabrina
says. “That’s when you apply one
false lash to a natural lash.” While
some brides go all out for their
wedding day look, other brides
prefer a classic look. “That’s
exactly what mink lashes are for,
to enhance natural beauty.”
“Mink lashes are very durable,”
Sabrina continues. “We
recommend you not get them wet
for 24 to 48 hours. After that you
can go swimming, go to the beach,
you can go stand in the rain, and
they’re not going to move.” Do I
hear tropical honeymoon?

When it comes to lashes, Sabrina
says lash health and sanitation is
most important. “You just brush
them everyday, keep them clean
as possible, and then they’ll just
shed like your natural lash.”
Sabrina has 12 years of
experience with lashes and seven
years experience as a makeup
artist. “It all started with lashes as
my specialty,” she says.
With a team of trained
professionals, Sabrina can
accommodate bridal parties of all
sizes. “A normal bridal party for
me is six or seven, and I’ve done a
bridal party of 30.”
“I have four assistants that I
usually take with me for weddings
so we can do big wedding parties
and not have a rushed face,”
Sabrina says. “And they are all
hand-trained and certified.”

Other services offered at Lashing Out
Beauty Lounge include microblading, strip
lashes, lash extension fill-ins, and makeup
application for any occasion.
Microblading is a tattooing technique used
to add semi-permanent pigment to the
skin to enhance your eyebrows. Sabrina’s
microblading fee includes touch ups for
two years.
If you’re interested in hiring Sabrina for
lash extensions, microblading, or wedding
makeup contact her with your wedding
date as soon as possible. “I’ve had people
book me the same time they pick their
date,” she says.
Included in a wedding deposit is a trial run
and day of makeup. A deposit also blocks
off the time needed for the bridal party
and locks in your date. In addition, Sabrina
will supply a bridal contract “which covers
in detail everything agreed upon.”
“Our deposit always includes the bride,”
Sabrina explains. “So she’s going to be
covered regardless if the rest of the
bridal party changes their mind or not.”
With weddings scheduled into 2020, it’s
never too early to book your wedding day
with Sabrina. ✽
