Hi, I’m Shannon!
My true passion for lashing and deep desire to go above and beyond for my clients started on an adventure in sunny San Diego, CA.
As I grew from apprentice to Senior Lash Stylist, my book was always full of clients including, brides-to-be, prom-goers, busy moms, jet-setters, and reality stars.
Though I loved the beach vibes and full schedule in CA, I decided to return to my roots and open up “A Little Lash Shop” in Portsmouth, NH to be closer to my friends and family.
As A Little Lash Shop grows, we continue to recognize the esthetician-client relationship is a unique one. Whether you want to chat, need to vent, or just want to take a lash-nap, we will ensure that your time in our shop is as comfortable as possible.
As always, the end goal of every session is to have our clients open their eyes and be in love with their lashes!

*Not-so-Fun-Fact*
Shannon has "The Lash Allergy."
From her own misfortunate and somewhat ironic situation, Shannon became passionate about thoroughly understanding this allergy.
There is a lot of misinformation about "being allergic to lash extensions," and she strives to help educate her current and future clients.
Shannon has done extensive research on this topic, as well as participated in professional courses pertaining to lash adhesive allergies.
We’ve added some info to our Lash Allergies & Sensitivities FAQ page and we’re always available to answer any questions you may have.
“I have never had lash extensions done before, but I had a wedding the first weekend of August and decided to give them a try. I rarely wear make up with the exception of mascara. I told Shannon I was nervous that they’d look strange on me because I have short eyelashes, but that I was looking for a long and natural looking lash with the appearance of mascara. WOW! Shannon made all of my lash dreams come true!!! I went for the classic style and it truly looks like I have natural long eyelashes with mascara on them. They were beyond perfect for the wedding and I got a million compliments! Since getting them, I wake up feeling like I’m already more put together for the day than ever before (because it looks like I already have mascara on). I love them and plan to keep up with filling them. Shannon was so nice and kind with me even with my lack of knowledge about the process/outcome. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“I wanted extensions forever but was nervous about the process and upkeep. I bought myself a gift card and held out of getting it done for a while. I should have done this sooner! Shannon was wonderful and my lashes are perfect. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable and educated me on how to take care of them . The salon is beautiful, comfortable and Completely Instagram-able. The process of getting them done is so relaxing I could have fallen asleep. The station she has is very cozy for a comfortable headrest on a massage table. She made sure I was comfortable before she got started and had a great soft playlist that you could snooze through or just zen out. I understand they are an investment but getting ready for work this morning was quick and easy, no mascara stains at the end of the day, no discomfort from them at all and Shannon checked in with me in the morning to make sure I still loved them and was comfortable! Amazing work and amazing customer care. I can not recommend them enough.”
