About the Artists
Every one of La Vie's artists are licensed and certified as well as being trained on consistent methods that are important to us. Although we've all gone through similar training, lashing truly is an art and each artist has her own style. We each showcase our work in our Instagram galleries. Take a look and see which artist best fits your style!
