Patricia Anthony Studio also offers its own lash extension, that takes just 30 minutes. The studio is currently offering a half-price deal for the 30 minute lash extension. Regularly $120, clients can get the treatment for $60. The service includes an anti-aging treatment around the eyes. 

The studio also offers lash tinting and perming.
