Iris is a wonderful Lash Artist. Her work is beautiful, she isn't rough, and she works quickly to get you the most lashes she can! I highly recommend her work.

Jessie Patterson

I have worked with Iris for over 2 years. She conquers any obstacle that faces her. She worked hard to learn lash extentions and never gave up. Now Iris is a certified lash master and is highly recommended. Iris is hard working and a wonderful co-worker.
