Removals

Did you get a bad full set of lashes like these girls, contact me and let me know.  I will do a removal for $20, or free if you have enough lashes for us to safely put on a new set.

Ouch. I borrowed these pictures from mybrandlashes.com she is my hero and did these 3hr removals.  I am equipped with adhesive remover of several brands and several styles of tweezers.  Don't pay more for this kind of work.  Be smart and view your lash technician's work before you sit in their chair.  

Lash Serums and conditioners

Have you wondered about different lash conditioners ( i.e. Latisse, Revitalash, MD-lash, Lilash etc.) and if they are safe to use with eyelash extensions.

Generally yes, lash serums are safe to use with eyelash extensions. In fact, I encourage it. The reasons I encourage lash serums are,

PROS:

1. Your lash cycle will last longer than a normal lash cycle. After the recommended amount of time using product. ( Most people have a 21-28 day lash cycle) I have seen it make a lash cycle last 2-3 weeks longer. Thus making fills a little farther apart.

2. If you have had alopecia or cancer/chemotherapy in the past or have it now this is a great way to re-grow lashes that have been lost or weakened due to this condition.

3. Women who go through menopause have a MUCH higher chance of thinning, weakened or stunted growth of eyelashes. This is a great way to at least maintain what you had; based on how quickly you notice your lashes changing and how powerful the serum is.

4. Last, Lash serum will only enhance what you already have. So, If you didn't love your lashes before, chances are you won't love a longer version of what you had. Because your lashes may be strait or grow down, or they may grow "messy" meaning in all different directions. This is where eyelash extensions can help. I can use what I call corrective lash placement to make lash extensions look natural, Even though that may not be true " Naturally" :)

Ok, Lets look at the other side of the argument so that I can be fair and honest.

CONS:

1. Based on the serum you may need a prescription like Latisse.

2. Some people may be allergic especially if they are on any kind of recovery medication after chemo therapy.

3. Often people have sensitive eyes and may notice itching or tingling. It usually will subside after a few minutes. If it continues to irritate your eyes, stop.

4. Lash serums are a commitment. Period! Once you start to consistently use lash serum you will have to continue to use it. And should you run out you will have a massive ending of your lash cycle. You will watch 20-30 lashes fall out over a 3 day period.
.
Never fear, your lashes will grow back and they will grow back in the same condition that they were before you started using lash serum. The only reason they wouldn't grow back is if you truly didn't have lashes before you started using lash serum.


Lastly, always follow the directions given, weather by the product specialist or the product directions themselves. You need your eyes for the rest of your life :)

Lashing Process

 BEFORE

AFTER

THE PROCESS:

This semi-permanent technique involves attaching a single synthetic fiber (faux mink), or real mink can be used on request (its expensive), to a natural eyelash using a medical grade black adhesive. In other words, one single extension is placed on one of your individual natural eyelashes. The results are amazing and.... you won’t believe your eyes! You will have instant volume with long, luscious curled lashes.

Best of all, your extensions are so natural that no one will be able to tell they’re not yours. To maintain the look, touch up or fill appointments are necessary every three to four weeks to replace the lashes that have shed or out grown naturally. 

This look and technique is considered a CLASSIC look meaning 1 on 1 lashing.  A new technique has arrived that involves using lighter weight lashes and doing 2 or 3 thinner in diameter extensions on each natural lash creating more volume thus this newer technique is called VOLUME.  How ever it takes more time and therefore more money.

Eyelash Fill w/ LASHE adhesive

 BEFORE

AFTER
(Client had a lot of new growth so we opted for a more natural look this time to let those little babies grow)

Purchased a new glue from http://www.thelashe.com/ after having issues with my regular go to glue from discountlashes.com.  The client actually had a significantly better response to the new glue.  Its pricey but it's supposed to last 6 months opposed to my one week lesson learned experience with Alluring Elite Bond.

The Lashe    has developed two adhesives; they are medical grade and are produced in an FDA-certified facility in the USA. One, the Rapid Dry, is suitable for more than 95% of clients. It dries quickly; it hardly generates any fumes and it produces a very strong bond. Extensions can hold from 4-6 weeks to the end of the natural lash’s life cycle, up to 90 days, depending on client characteristics and care. The other, the Fume Free, is suitable for clients with extreme sensitivities or allergies. It dries faster than other fume frees; it generates no fumes and it produces a medium strength bond. It is the least irritating extension adhesive available.

Features of the Rapid Dry adhesive include:

 •   Maximum bonding strength

 •   Contains pulverized rubber polymers for superior flexibilty

 •   Dries at the exterior within 3 seconds for quick application

 •   Maintains proper viscosity, avoiding thick coating of fibers

 •   Soft and flexible, with luster and sheen

 •   Formulated to not react and bond with itself

 •   Stable formulation: need no refrigeration or test drop

 •   Shelf life: Rapid Dry-6 months; Fume Free-3 months
