If you're near i12 Katong and comparing lash studios, it's easy to get overwhelmed by near-identical before-and-after photos. Here are 6 things actually worth checking before you book.
1. A Proper Consultation Before Any Lashes Go On
A good studio looks at your natural lash health, eye shape and lifestyle before recommending a style — not just upselling the priciest set. If a studio skips straight to booking without asking questions, take note.
2. Visible Hygiene Standards
Tools should be sanitised between clients and the treatment space kept clean. A studio confident in its hygiene practices won't hesitate to explain them if you ask.
3. Real Client Results, Not Just Stock Photos
Ask to see genuine before-and-afters from real clients rather than polished marketing images. Real results show you what to actually expect on your own lashes.
4. Clear Aftercare Guidance
A studio that explains fill timing, product restrictions and how to care for extensions properly is one that cares about how your set holds up — not just how it looks walking out the door.
5. Technicians Who Specialise Rather Than Do Everything
Studios that focus on a handful of treatments — lash, brow, lips, liner — tend to have technicians who've gone deep on technique, rather than spreading thin across every beauty service imaginable.
6. Easy to Reach for Repeat Visits
Extensions need fills every three to four weeks, so convenience matters. A studio around i12 Katong, East Coast Road or Joo Chiat makes it far easier to actually keep up with your routine long-term.
At Lashdou, we're a short walk from i12 Katong and focus on five treatments — lash, brow, lips, eyeliner and hair — so our therapists can go deep on technique rather than spreading thin.
