Giving the eye

Two best friends, each with a specialized talent, have opened Eyedolize, a lash and brow salon, in Birmingham’s 555 Building, Suite 23L, in the lower level. Tanya Yono and her BFF Kristina Juhas opened the specialty salon in mid-July after owning it in their homes “until we had it perfected,” Yono said. Juhas, a Birmingham resident, “is amazing with brows and is training with microblading,” Yono said, while she specializes in lashes. “It feels so good when I do someone new,” she enthused. “I have clients who never thought they’d ever have full dark lashes.” Besides supporting cosmetic customers, she said she really loves helping chemotherapy patients after their treatments. “After chemo, when their lashes are starting to grow back in, I put a light lash back in. It gives them back confidence,” Yono said. “If you can help someone feel great about themselves, and enhance their natural beauty, why not?” She and Juhas are meticulous in explaining to each customer how to care for themselves. “We want to make sure our customers feel as comfortable as possible. We want your natural lashes to still be healthy. Your brows shape your face and your lashes are like the curtain of your soul,” she explained. “It’s an investment in your beauty.”
