Curl Up and Dye

Urban Eyes

There are few problems as vexing as those presented by a beach vacation with your beau.

A few examples: There’s no graceful way to exit the water backward. Your bikini wax will inevitably show a shadow after seven days. And, as much as we hate to tell you, a wet suit is appropriate only if you are actually going diving.

Rather than worry about what’s happening down there, draw his attention upward — to your eyes. The Urban Eyes treatment at UrbanShe (which includes eyelash curling, eyebrow shaping, and tinting) will give you distracting, provocative peepers.

The process is painless: First, a rod/curler is attached to your lashes and a gel-based solution is applied. Next comes the neutralizer to set the curl. And, finally, your lashes are nourished with moisturizing cream. All the while someone is tweezing, waxing, and coloring your arch.

In 40 minutes or less, you’ll have seductive eyes that won’t droop after a dip in the drink. In fact, they’ll last more than a month.

Which means you’ll be the apple of his eye long after the vacation’s over.

Available at UrbanShe, 1 East Oak Street, second floor, at State Street (312-988-9299).
