Lisa reviews...

Always a pleasure to have treatments at The Villa Retreat. I have been a regular client for many years. Leeanne is amazing, kind and professional and knows her stuff. Fantastic eyelash extensions but best of all she has significantly improved the appearance of my skin via microneedling. I highly recommend her. I’ll definitely be back”

Becky reviews...

“The Villa Retreat is an oasis of tranquility. Leeanne is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and welcoming! My go-to for lash extensions. I’ve been going for over 15 years and couldn’t consider going elsewhere.”

Service: Eyelash extensions

“Leanne’s perfectionism & attention to detail means my eyelashes are always perfectly separated and never clumped.
I am continuously complimented on how amazing yet natural they look.
Her home salon is very comfortable and relaxing”

Jolene reviews...

Product: Eyelash bond/glue

“This is the best bonding and most easiest to applicate that I have used. I have tried many brands out there on the market today,they are clumpy or don’t have the bonding hold of this glue.

I have been an educator for a top lash distributor prior to using these lash products and ceased using them and educating for them once I found this range of products.

Nothing I have used in my 6 years in the eyelash extension business or being an educator compares to these bonds/products.”
