I met Sandra, owner of Eye Candy Lash Bar when she opened 6 months ago on Central Avenue. Since I've been going there for all my eyebrow and lash needs. I got my brow micro bladed and it was absolutely life changing. I always recommend them to anyone asking me for an eyebrow and lash specialist. They are awesome and I love hanging in their chic salon. I remember at … [Read more...]

By Brian Maduruh
Many people consider Staten Island to be “The Forgotten Borough”. 95% of the time I go to Staten Island is because you HAVE to set foot in it to get to the Verrazano Bridge to get to Brooklyn.
