Lash Love!

by | Nov 15, 2022 | Health & Beauty | 0 comments

We all LOVE lashes! Just take a look at the top-selling cosmetics, and you’ll find mascara at the top. Many people don’t leave the house without enhancing their lashes and lips. Framing your features helps others focus on your eyes, making them more attentive to you. Lashes are a must-have for brides, prom-goers, and other special events. Enhancing your lashes can change the shape of your eyes, create a more “awake” appearance, and give you a youthful glow. Thankfully, Lash Love comes in all price ranges and maintenance levels.

Lash Extensions:

Lash extensions have gained immense popularity for their gorgeous results. If you want to add instant length, classic extensions make a fantastic choice. Your lash artist places an extension on each natural lash, customizing the look with various curls and lengths. If you seek added volume, opt for volume extensions, where the artist applies a fan of lashes to each natural lash for extra length and fullness. This look is designed just for you!

Before your appointment, research some styles you like and bring a photo to share with your lash artist. This visual reference serves as a great communication tool. Remember to come without makeup, and be prepared to keep your lashes dry and avoid humidity for the next 24 hours. Here are a few important factors to keep in mind:

  • you must fill lash extensions every 3 weeks or so to maintain the look
  • you must care for the lashes at home by not wearing certain cosmetics and using only oil free products
  • you should cleanse your lashes every day with a lash cleanser and brush them once dry

Expect to pay between $260 and $450 for your first appointment or “full set,” depending on the artist and the style of lashes you choose. A full set takes about two hours or more to apply, while fill-in appointments last about an hour and cost between $75 and $95, again depending on your chosen lashes and artist.

Lash Lifts & Tints:

Lash lifting and tinting also rank among popular treatments. This quick procedure (about an hour) enhances your natural lashes. The artist uses a perm solution over a silicone guide to lift your lashes. They also tint your lashes a dark color or a shade that complements your skin and hair. You can choose your desired curl level with the esthetician, but the amount of lift primarily depends on the length of your lashes.

Please arrive at your appointment without makeup and be prepared to keep lashes dry and makeup free for 24 hours. A conditioner is placed on lifted lashes to protect them at the end of your appointment. You will see the full effects of the lash lift the next day when the condition is no longer grouping lashes together. Consider these factors when choosing a lash lift:

  • lash lift lasts about 6 weeks and keeps lashes curled and lifted
  • you can use any product of your choice either skincare or makeup without compromising the lash lift
  • no special precautions must be taken with lash lifts

The cost for a lash lift and tint is $95. You will need to lift and tint lashes about every 6 weeks and the same fee will apply.

Some lash tips and thoughts for any lash lover:

Most clients want longer lashes and an enhancement serum can work wonders to improve the length and health of your lashes.
Of course, any lash treatment is better with healthy lashes.
We recommend affordable products in the studio to increase lash length and mascara containing the same lash enhancement for those that are not wearing extensions.
Remember, all eyes are beautiful; we simply enhance the beauty you already possess.
