Mary Ellen Feehan is all about beauty. She has trained with some of the industry’s most talented practitioners, and in 2015, received her certification in eyelash extensions. She then continued her education in everything eyebrows.
“I always liked making people feel good about themselves,” she says. “It was always about girl power and enhancing natural beauty.”
She brings her many years of experience in the beauty industry to every facet of Lashz Studio in Madison. In 2016, she was the manager of the boutique and was basically running it on an everyday basis, so when the owner decided to sell in 2019, Mary Ellen seized the opportunity to buy it herself.
She updated the décor, and along with eyelash and eyebrow offerings, added skincare services to feed her creativity and passion. She also wanted to utilize her extensive knowledge to make clients feel beautiful.
“We use all-natural products, and our facials are done by hand, not machines,” says Mary Ellen. “We do a purging facial, which is a deep cleansing. Homecare works so much better when you get a facial regularly. If you're putting products on a face that's not exfoliated or clean, they’re not doing anything.”
When it comes to eyelash extensions, Lashz Studio only uses high-end products made of silk. “We definitely believe in a more natural look and preserving the health of the eyelashes.”
A lash lift, she says, is very similar to a keratin treatment. “It basically gives you what you would get with a really good eyelash curler. When we tint on top of it, lashes look nicer and fuller.” These lifts last for eight to 12 weeks.
High-quality facial waxing is available too. “We can also shape their eyebrows by waxing, but we can tweeze and tint them as well,” she says.
The boutique also carries a variety of all-natural skincare products as well as aftercare for eyelashes and brows. These include lip scrubs, lip balms, hand scrubs, and candles, plus lash serums, makeup removers, and more.
“I like knowing that I help women feel put together, beautiful and happy,” says Mary Ellen.

“You don't have to wear makeup, especially in the summer. We always say that lash extensions, great eyebrows and lip gloss are all you need.”
