Anastasia Peck opened Atlanta’s first lash studio, Blink & Wink (blinkandwink.com), in Sandy Springs almost 15 years ago after moving to the city because she couldn’t find the eyelash services she had been relying on for years in her native Russia. She’s since served countless Atlantans, and even celebrities like Olivia Munn, Zoë Kravitz and Jessica Chastain. While booked and busy, Peck knew she wanted an upgrade to her studio space to keep providing the best services in Atlanta in a more welcoming environment.

So, she hired Monica Lazo with MGL Interiors to completely reimagine the space, which reopened earlier this year. “We ripped up the walls, floors, ceilings, everything,” she says. “It’s a completely different look. We replaced every single doorknob, piece of furniture—everything.” Five treatment rooms where clients can get lash extensions, lash lifts, waxing services, facials, permanent makeup, powder brows and more have been transformed for the loyal clientele that have been coming to see her for close to 15 years.

Peck is in love with the space. “It’s a boho, modern design. It’s bold, bright and different. I didn’t want to be like everyone in the past decade who has done super sterile salons in white. There is a lot of color, and every room has character.”

Peck now has two young children, ages 5 and 2, but she says her firstborn will always be Blink & Wink. She’s excited for this new chapter in her business. “I’m extremely proud of myself and my team and everything we’ve been through. We’ve retained our very loyal clientele, with some people coming to me since I began working out of a closet.”

The “Best of Atlanta” winner three years in a row for Lash Extensions credits that loyalty to having the best products, used by the most talented people in the business, who really educate clients and provide an exceptional experience. “People appreciate what we do and how we are different than other studios,” she says.
