Since 2004, the original Wink Beauty Lounge and Boutique has drawn in the crowds in search of the bigger and better pair of lashes. With over 25,000 sets of lash extensions applied, Wink is the leading specialist of Seamless Semipermanent Eyelash Extension in Vancouver and is a proud member of the Cosmetology Association 1996 - 2009. Founder Vivian Ko Gooch, started with humble beginnings as a hard-working aesthetician looking to bring this unique Japanese beauty trend to Vancouver. Local celebrities, models and socialites immediately embraced this Hollywood secret. The demand for luscious and beautiful lashes increased over the years and when the right time came, Vivian embraced the opportunity to re-open her spa boutique into a bigger location in trendy Gastown.more...See more text
“After ten years we closed Wink Beauty Lounge, which was a full-service salon, though we were best known for lash extensions. Then we rebranded to focus on lashes and brows,” says Vivian Gooch, founder and working owner of W Lash Beautique.
When she first started back in 2004, Vivian correctly envisioned lash extensions as an upcoming trend, and over the years she and the W Lash experts have served over 50,000 pairs of peepers. Since early 2014, her micro satellite lash bars have been cropping up across the city.
“I’ve collaborated with Bare Wax Bar to offer our services inside their salons. It’s going really well – we’re starting to become a family,” smiles Vivian.
I got my lashes done here and fell in love! I also got a facial done and go to Wink for my eyebrow shaping and lip waxing! They are the best and located in a really cute space in gastown! The girls are really friendly and professional. The owner of the store is super outgoing and fun! Her team is a also a reflection of her! Amazing!
