"...CEO (that's "chief eyelash officer") Darla has become something of a local legend for her fabulously flutter-ready extensions in silk and Siberian mink..."
STUFF AT NIGHT Magazine
"...The eyelash extension treatments, which are considered some of the best in the area, come in such high-end materials as silk and Siberian mink. They are applied by master esthetician Darla Pires-DeGrace, whose reputation in the area for being the go-to gal for great lashes is top-notch. The treatment, which normally takes around 90 minutes, requires Pires-DeGrace to individually apply strands to a client’s natural lashes, where they are glued in place. With proper care, they can expect to last throughout your natural eyelash replacement cycle, which is every 60-90 days. She also offers eyebrow extensions and brow shaping, for those looking for an all-around “eye makeover”. BACK BAY PATCH

"The Brow and Lash Boutique gave me a spectacular eyelash look for the filming of HGTV’s House Hunters International episode in Boston and Poland. Darla is more than an esthetician – she is an unparalleled eyelash artist, with an incredible dedication and a professional approach. None of my previous eyelash extension experiences compare to this one. Surrounded by the beautiful atmosphere of Salon Monet, I was able to relax, and the outcome was impressive. The gorgeous mink lashes Darla applied look amazingly natural, and appear striking on camera. Thank you for the quality work! I shall return when I’m back from Europe." Matilda T. -- Boston and Poland
"As a stickler for professionalism and superior service, I was very pleased with how my lashes came out. I asked for a very natural look and that's what I got. Darla took the time to explain the process and provided me with tips on how to properly maintain my lashes. This service is well worth the investment. She's a solid and true professional. I couldn't be happier - In fact, I can't stop winking at myself :)" Erica A. -- Hyde Park
"I am extremely picky and selective about getting my eye lashes done. I have been doing them for several years and so when I moved to Boston I was nervous about finding somebody new to do them. I was very happy when I found out about Darla, she was exactly what I was promised,, professional and comforting to say the least. Not to mention very, very clean. She accidentally dropped the container of lashes on the floor and she immediately put them in the trash. She takes her work very seriously, she is patient, gentle, affordable, and offers her tasteful advice. I highly recommend her. I am happy I found her!!!" Khetaem H. -- Cambridge
"...when Darla was done my eyes were poppin they looked very natural and I must say I loved them I didn't smell glue my eyes didn't burn; Darla is very professional neat and clean. I received so many compliments I was very satisfied I will return." Kym N. -- Cambridge
"Very Professional, clean, on time, picked lashes to compliment mine, asked what I expected and told me what to expect, patient, very delicate, I fell asleep...This is definately second nature for her. It helps that she wears them and I see what I could expect. That helps me know that she believes in her product and you get what you pay for, service!!!!" Erinn P. -- Cambridge
"I have had my lashes done numerous times by different places/people and Darla is the ONLY one who knows how to do them right!! Other places I've been to the glue burns your eyes and I cant see and/or crying from the glue for minutes after its done, or they all come off within a few days!! Darla did mines she was on time, saw her clean her hands before she touched my eyes, I was relaxed through out it, and she was very professional and took her time so it came out perfect! And I live an hour away from the Salon and will drive to get them done!" Kyla P. -- Fall River
"Darla made me feel so comfortable and took the time to talk to me and understand EXACTLY the look I was trying to achieve. The fact that she wears them made that process very easy because I love hers so all I had to tell her was "A little shorter"...I usually only wear make up when I am going somewhere, I prefer a more natural look on a regular day. The great thing about my lashes is they make my eyes POP and all I need is some lip gloss and I'm ready to go!" Robbie B. -- Brockton
"...The esthetician that did them, Darla was so professional and detailed...Recently I brought my 22 year old daughter in to get them and we are both overly excited. I love not having to wear mascara and absolutely love not having to wipe under my eyes (the mascara that normally smudges by the end of the day)." Armani S. -- Somerville
