Vibes Lash Bar is the newest addition to the business scene in Oakdale as it is the first lash bar in town. Vibes Lash Bar offers a luxury lash extension service with five lash artists that have multiple certifications. Vibes Lash Bar also offers filler, Botox and IV therapy services.

Lash extensions are a custom cosmetic application that are attached to your natural lash and are designed to grow out with your natural lash. It is meant to give off the effect of mascara without ever having to apply mascara. Vibes offers three types of lash extension services: classic, volume, and mega.

Vibes is locally owned by Marissa Hawkins, who had hoped to open up earlier this year. However, due to COVID, her dream business was patiently waiting for customers until it was safe to do so. And though they have to adhere to strict safety guidelines, they are now open.

Hawkins has been doing lash extensions for five years and is a 4x certified lash artist with Borboleta Beauty, LashBoxLA, and LashMakers. The lash artists at Vibes, in addition to owner Hawkins, are Ryann Danel, Jennica DeGregori, Jessica Waggy and Mikailyn Garcia. Botox, filler and IV therapy services are done by Stephenie McClellan.

Community and a positive work environment is what is most important to Hawkins as she embarks on her new journey as being a business owner in Oakdale. After months of hard work and patience, Hawkins is thrilled to be open and serve the community that she calls home.

“It's an amazing thing when a passion and career become one,” said Hawkins. “Getting to connect with women and make them feel beautiful makes my soul shine.”

Vibes Lash Bar is at 1435 E. G St., #2 in Oakdale and can be reached at (209) 844-9227.
