    Pierre Michel was one of the first salons in New York to introduce eyelash extensions when the trend hopped coasts from L.A. in late 2004. Monika Crouch is the go-to expert for the painstaking process of gluing single synthetic lashes to each of your natural flutterers. Given the delicacy of the task, she’s remarkably quick: In just 90 minutes (most other places take at least two hours), she’ll perfect whatever look you’re after—natural, come-hither, or Bambi. In fact, she’s so adroit with her glue stick and tweezers that clients often doze off (well, you do have to keep your eyes closed). A full set costs $300 and lasts four to six weeks.
