A North Myrtle Beach woman is helping cancer survivors to feel beautiful and giving them free eyelash extensions.
Shontea Taylor who has a mobile eyelash studio can travel right to the patients to give her free service to them.
When patients are undergoing treatment or losing hair, eyebrows and lashes, she provides her service and gives them new eyelashes for free.
Shontea understands the struggle of cancer patients as her desire for helping them comes from her personal experience.
She told Liftable: “I have a daughter with Down syndrome,”
“So in 2016, I decided to move to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to give her a better chance at life basically.” The school in the new neighborhood was a much better fit for her daughter.
“One day, I was at a car lot, and I saw a van. I went inside and had seen my vision,” she said.
“I prayed on that thing for almost two weeks, and then I went back, put the down payment and took it straight to my dad’s house, who then turned a plain van into a lash studio.”
Since then Shontea is providing her free eyelash service two days of the week and she sees five cancer patients free of charger per day. “The look on my gals’ faces afterwards is beyond AMAZING!” she said.
“It makes me feels so good inside to be able to take someone’s mind off of what’s bothering them for a second or two. Right then, I know I’ve made a difference.”

Verywell Health says, “Hair loss (alopecia) is a common side effect of chemotherapy and isn’t just limited to the hair on your head. It is not uncommon to experience hair loss on one’s legs, arms, pubic hair, eyebrows, and, yes, even the eyelashes.”
“Even more bothersome is the fact that eyelashes often do not fall out until well after chemotherapy has been completed,”
“Moreover, some will experience the thinning or shortening of lashes rather than a complete loss, while others will go through recurring cycles of loss and regrowth.”
