The Lash Café is a self-care destination designed for anyone in need of a little time to recharge: from busy moms to professionals.

The Lash Café consists of licensed estheticians and cosmetologists who specialize in lashes and lash enhancements, facial skincare, hair removal, and just added hair care services.
Founder Lisa Shelton began pursuing her passion while working as a hospice aide in Charleston, SC. After relocating to Columbia, she took a leap of faith in 2020 and opened her business in a small one-room suite. Since opening, her business and clientele have continued to grow allowing her to become a full-time entrepreneur. Ms. Shelton’s goal is simple: when you visit The Lash Café, you won’t want to leave.
