In 2014 trend-conscious women in New York, London or Hong Kong had already given their lash looks and eyebrow styling to professional hands. Back then this movement had not arrived in Zurich yet. Until Autumn 2014, when Rabea Kühn opened Switzerland’s first BLASHY – Brow & Lash Bar – formerly known as LASH BAR.

Rabea’s forward thinking mindset and her passion for the beauty industry made her discover the potential in this area early on, and her success proved her right. The one-woman-show quickly turned into a team – and Blashy Bar into the number one place to go to for lashes and brows styling in Zurich. Two relocations and five years later, the BLASHY Group includes a multi-member women’s team, a studio in Zurich’s city centre as well as an academy with a large online shop aimed for beauty professionals.

I’ve known Rabea since the early beginnings of her career and from day 1 I was inspired by her positivity, her energy and enthusiasm – which is the reason that I have been a loyal client of hers and her kind team of professionals for over 5 years now. I took this opportunity to ask her about the latest natural trends on all things lashes and brows:

Rabea, what are 5 natural techniques that will lift your lashes, your brows (and your mood)?

With beautiful lashes and perfectly shaped eyebrows, a woman feels more comfortable and groomed. The gaze is open and you automatically look more awake and vital – let’s say: a little kick for your self-confidence. If you don’t want to spend time with eyelash pliers, brow brushes and mascaras every morning, you have many possibilities to achieve long-lasting effects nowadays.

  1. Both, eyelashes and eyebrows can be brought into shape for weeks by a “lash lifting“ (which only takes a short appointment with one of our professionals).
  2. But also with colors such as natural tinting with henna is very popular at the moment – eyebrows can be optically lifted and small gaps can be filled. Both of these treatments are bestsellers in our studio.
  3. A Brow Lift for more fullness & intensity in only 15 minutes
  4. Vita Brow Treatment with Natural Vitamins for Eyebrow Growth – all natural and vegan
  5. The daily use of a Lash & Brow Conditioner: The valuable oils and active ingredients, such as extracts from brown algae, rice and black oats in lash & brow conditioner strengthen and supply lashes and brows with several substances, vitamins and minerals for smooth, powerful eyelashes and well-groomed eyebrows

I really like the positive energy in your studio. Tell us something about your work philosophy:

We’re a small-big team. That means small enough to keep the atmosphere cosy, but big enough to achieve great things. We are a strong team of amazing women and are proud to work in the most beautiful industry. So this way, our job is not only work, it’s our passion and it makes us happy to see our clients happy. We all share this spirit and try to make it perceptible and tangible in our every day activities. We always make sure that we develop strong team work, yet that each person is challenged and supported as an individual too. We never stop learning and thriving to become the best version of ourselves.
