From eyelash extensions to breastfeeding consultants, Minnesota looks at new licenses

Kae Kozlowski moves a long, sharp tweezer over the woman’s closed eyes. The faux eyelash in its grip is made from genuine mink fur; the next is a blend of nylon and silk. She employs a sculptor’s exactness to attach one fake lash to a real one hundreds of times over the next hour, hair by hair.
