For the last 20 years, I have trusted Shannon Winter for all of my esthetician needs, but when she started doing lashes back when NO ONE had even heard of eye lash extensions, I became a committed, lifetime client. I have always envied the girls with long, beautiful eyelashes and I thought I was doomed to live with my invisible stumps or those awful false eyelash strips that I can never get on let alone straight for the rest of my life. Now, Shannon gives me gorgeous, natural looking eyelashes and my friends and strangers envy me every day! I currently live in Manhattan where dodgy, dirty eyelash spots can be found on just about every block (I think there called "Pink Eye"). I have tried places in Philly, Delaware, NJ, NYC, Los Angeles and San Fransisco and nothing compares to Shannon's talent and technique and for those reasons, I will follow her wherever she goes. If you are in the Philadelphia area I envy you. If you are in Philly and not working with Shannon, I pity you. She's not a careless hack with questionable training and credentials who will glue anything to your face with no explanation or consultation. She is a consummate professional and one of the first artists to offer and perfect the eyelash extension technique in the United States. She wouldn't touch your face without a thorough consultation to select the appropriate product and technique for your individual needs and she would explain everything to you from start to finish as well as after care. Trust me, I had a frightening, first-hand experience when I was on an extended work trip in San Fransisco and I was expected to speak in front of a large audience. I went to a high-end, highly rated, expensive salon in the Marina so I assumed I would be well taken care of. The tech chose the wrong length and thickness and they were too heavy for my natural lash. I woke up the next morning (the morning of my presentation) to more than half of my natural lashes and the extensions they were glued to on my white pillow case. I learned my lesson right then and there; never again. Once you go to Shannon Winter for eyelash extensions, you won't want to go anywhere else. Heed my warning: Don't go anywhere else! Shannon uses top of the line products and is on the cutting edge of trends and training techniques in eyelash art. She is also a nationally renowned trainer so when the best want to learn from the best, they seek out Shannon Winter Even though everyone wants the extra thick, super long look they see on celebrities, the truth is very few people have the natural lash to support it without damaging the hell out of your natural lashes (trust me... It took me 1.5 months to grow my lashes back to somewhat normal looking. I still have PTSD!) All I know is that Shannon would never have allowed this to happen to me. She would have selected the correct lash and applied them perfectly, not 2-3 stuck together in a clump of glue on one lash sticking in 3 different directions. The end result are lashes that last and look so beautiful and natural, I get compliments 3-4 weeks later. Even when I've let my fill go way too long, I have never walked around embarrassed by the state of my lashes because they shed slowly and naturally and remain straight and presentable. The situation in SF was so embarrassing and I felt so insecure that everyone was looking at the mess that was my eyes. It was a very painful lesson learned. When you go to Shannon's studio, prepare to be pampered and treated with the highest quality of products in an impeccably CLEAN, serene setting. She'll be your consultant and confidant (and best friend and family member before you even know it :-). She works quickly and meticulously. I usually fall asleep as soon as she touches me due to her delicate touch, calming demeanor and cool music vibe. I wake up refreshed with my lashes on fleek (did I just say that? Smh) even better than the inevitable compliments, I can go without makeup if I want to because they make my eyes pop and look more colorful and vibrant! Even with all the compliments, I have yet to have anyone ask me if they are false! Her application is extremely natural. Somehow she manages to get one extension on each lash without clumping any together or visible glue. It's incredible how finely tuned her technique has become. You will definitely know and feel that you are working with an artist and master who takes great pride in her craft and your satisfaction. Now go see for yourself! I guarantee you won't be ale to stop batting your eyelashes at yourself in the rearview mirror so be careful! As soon as I have pictures (I am scheduled to see her in the next week or two) I will be sure to post pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. If you're in Philly and want awesome lashes, go see Shannon read more

I've been getting my lashes done with Shannon for roughly a year now and I want to say that she is one of the best in the business right now. She's attentive to your needs, sweet, clean and very professional. Shannon strives to give you the most natural look without overdoing it. She plays soft music and makes you feel very relaxed. I would highly recommend her services as she strives to make you completely happy as she has made me this past year. I look forward to all of your other services you have available and I can't wait to try them All. read more

Shannon is now doing my facials along with my eyelash extensions. My skin and eyelashes look fantastic! She is a gem. I've had plenty of facials and tried eyelash extensions before Shannon. Not only is she one of the kindest people I know, she is the consummate professional. Her services are affordable and she uses the best products. The best by far. read more

If you're looking for eyelash extensions this is your place! Shannon is very professional, runs on time and her prices are great. This is a home business so it has a different feel than a fancy salon. Shannon takes 1/2 the time of most places and for me that's a huge plus. Only down side for me was that eyelash extensions make my natural lashes fall out so I had to take a break. If I ever need them again, I would definitely go back to Shannon read more

I have been going to Shannon for my eyelashes for the past 3 years. I never have to wear mascara (or much other make-up at all) due to my gorgeous lash extensions. She is EXTREMELY reasonably priced and takes the time to do it right. The studio is also very relaxing and she is very calming. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have been going to Shannon for my eyelash extensions for over 2 years now. The way she is trained to apply the lashes ensures flawless and undetectable lashes that look NATURAL, I receive compliments almost daily! The best part is no one knows they're extensions! I came to her after a horrible experience at a nail salon, she safely removed the faulty extensions and gave me a new set of gorgeous lashes. She is always very helpful and accommodating with scheduling and can always fit me in. If you're on the fence about trying eyelash extensions Shannon is the best around! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place... I got my lashes done on a Tuesday and by Sunday I lost a lot of my lashes. I've gotten my lashes done at another location for about two years and had never had this issue. I decided to try this place because the price was reasonable. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

A little awkward, the space was in her home where she had me sit in the same room she was finishing her last client- whom she was having a conversation with and I was just listening in. Once it was my turn the conversation fell flat, only call I got was to schedule more lashes, when the first experience was OKay but not great which is subpar for $200. Lashes lasted for a long time but some were hanging off the lashes not really placed at the base. I wouldn't return. read more

There really is no other like Shannon. Her level of care, compassion and wit, make for a deep healing experience. Her Reiki and Hypnotherapy combo is out of this world. As I was leaving from my energy healing experience, Shannon had eyelash extension clients who we raving her work! Shannon is a multilevel being assisting life from many aspects. read more

I have been going to Shannon for my lashes for about 9 months now and I cannot tell you how many times I've been complimented. Most of those who compliment me have assumed my lashes were real and I have to tell them the truth! I've had lashes done elsewhere before but Shannon makes them look much more natural than many other lash extensions. She takes pride in her work and she's been doing them so long she's extremely efficient and mindful of your time. She's also very reasonable priced! I always feel so beautiful when I leave! Highly recommend! read more

Shannon is by far the best!!!! not only is she an expert at what she does but such a pleasure to be around. I was going to another woman and was in search of someone who could give me a more natural look with a touch of "wow, could they be real" effect. And that's exactly what I got:) The environment is serene and the process is comfortable, to the point that I usually take a quick cat nap. I highly recommend Shannon and wouldn't trust my lashes with anyone else read more

Shannon does a superior job w lashes!! she is always friendly, good quality and acoommodating .. i would definitely recommend her for her services! and beautiful too ... lol xo read more

I have a friend in Pittsburgh who wouldn't be caught dead without her eyelash extensions. I thought about doing it for years but didn't know of any places near me that did them. I hit the Internet and found the best reviews for Shannon. It's now over a year later and I am thrilled with the results. They look totally natural. The whole process is so relaxing, I often fall asleep. You lie on a heated massage table and listen to a fantastic playlist. She is so quick - I am in and out in a half hour (every 2 weeks). I have already sent 2 friends and they are hooked. read more

I'm so thankful to Shannon for her help, she was extremely understanding of my problems as a whole and was even able to awake some dormant memories of who I truly am. Since helping me uncover those memories I've been unlocking even more almost nightly since then. I would highly recommend Shannon if you have memories from a past time whether in this life or a previous life as her Tachyon method certainly helped me and has continued to do even now. She helped send me further in my journey than I truly ever would have expected so I would definitely say she's an A+ in my book when it comes to spiritual or esoteric matters that you may come to her for. She even had been studying the same research I had been so I know our meeting was no coincidence and I likely will end up seeing her and her husband for energy training and massage in the near future. read more

Shannon did my eyelash extensions. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time trying the extensions but they look beautiful and I am so happy with the results. I highly recommend Shannon! read more

I have gone to Shannon twice for Past Life regression sessions. Shannon is patient and caring. She really wants you to get as much out of the session as possible. I recommend her services at 100%. read more

Shannon has been my first and only eyelash technician and I will never go anywhere else. Not only does she do a beautiful job but her home studio offers a calm and relaxing experience. She is is flexible and understanding with my hectic schedule and always sends a reminder text the day before my appointment which is helpful. Highly recommended! read more
