Lately, I’ve been getting several inquiries from my friends on the best place to get lashes in Cebu—”That’s not NÉW Lounge,” they’d quickly interject sheepishly, knowing my affiliation with the brand (insert my mandatory disclaimer here).
Their primary objection? The price. Cebuanas are notoriously careful where they put their money, but as someone born and raised in Cebu myself, I also know first-hand we’re more than willing to splurge on something that’s worth it.
I’m here to say that having been through my fair share of lash salons over the years, yes, NÉW Lounge is absolutely worth it.
When it comes to beauty treatments, few things are riskier than getting lash extensions. The eyes are such a delicate part of our face, that we need to be mindful of what we do in close proximity to them.
I’ve been getting my lashes done for close to a decade now, from places here and there, and I’ve literally been through it all. Whenever I made the bad decision to go to affordable salons, the quality spoke for itself—zero consultation on what lashes would work best for me, heavy extensions that clumped together and would itch over time (if they didn’t fall out too quick), impaired vision, and eyes that would get irritated in the shower.
Since actually investing in lashes, most especially with NÉW Lounge, the differences are like night and day.
The quality of the extensions is better and finer, they look natural despite the extra length, and they’re weightless and longer-lasting. The service is also top-notch, with dedicated lash experts that study your eyes and natural lashes to determine the length and curl that would suit you, while also keeping in mind the look you want to achieve.
(Not to mention, the ambiance is more relaxing. When you need to spend an hour or two with your eyes closed and shut off from the world, you want an atmosphere that would make the time pass pleasantly.)
While it can be tempting to save money and look good, beauty and self-care are investments. tl;dr Go for quality if you really want lash extensions and go to a reputable place—that’s NÉW Lounge for me!
But enough about me—below, fellow Cebuana #LashDolls share what makes them come back to NÉW Lounge every time.

I love getting lash extensions at NÉW Lounge because aside from the quality of their lash extensions (lightweight, natural looking and give that magic or glow on my face), I also love the cozy ambiance and their service. I love how I feel so pampered and relaxed right after. And that’s why it’s my favorite place for lash extensions.

Very lightweight and feels so natural on my eyes. I even often forget I have lash extensions on! Also a convenient new Cebu location — a plus!

NÉW Lounge is my top choice when getting lash extensions considerably because their glue lashes are hypoallergenic. While I tend to pluck fake lashes a few days after having them because they get itchy over time, my NÉW Lounge lashes last for three to five weeks without a hitch.
It is also a relaxing experience to have my lash extensions done in NÉW Lounge Cebu branches. Their ambiance is soothing and their chairs are cozy and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort.

Great lashes are always a Mommy’s number one beauty hack. It saves me a lot of time prepping because I already have gorgeous lashes that take the beauty notch higher. No more sleepy and droopy eyes for this momma!
A favorite of celebrities such as Heart Evangelista, Jessy Mendiola, Martine Cajucom, Gazini Ganados, and Vern Enciso-Lim, NÉW Lounge’s concept revolves around having a Nail, Eyelash & Wellness Lounge that provides a rejuvenating spa-like experience. They are dedicated to providing women with premium, safe and effective beauty products and services at the most competitive price.
NÉW Lounge uses high-quality anti-bacterial sable lashes, a semi-permanent high-grade premium lash as soft as your natural hair. The lashes range from 0.03 mm to 0.07 mm, with sizes from 8 mm to 14 mm, and curl options of J (natural curl), C (mid curl), and Super Curl. You can opt for a natural look, cat eye, and doll look. The salon also offers the option of hypoallergenic glue that prevent irritation and watery eyes, especially for those who have extremely sensitive skin.
NÉW Lounge, the country’s leading eyelash extension salon, makes a comeback in Cebu with the opening of its branch in Oakridge I.T. Center 2. This outlet replaces the one they used to have in One Paseo, and features a fresh look that makes eyelash and nail appointments even more relaxing.
NÉW Lounge also caters to Cebuanas via its Prestige Cebu Lounge located at Shangri-La Mactan, and through The Mobile Eyelash that can reach areas as far as Minglanilla in the south, and Danao in the north.
