Lashes and Brows

Classic extensions refer to the process of carefully applying one lash extension to one natural lash. Volume is an advanced technique that involves creating handmade fans of 2 or more very thin, lightweight lashes to one natural lash. Volume can provide a fuller, denser  appearance for clients.

There are a couple factors to consider.

• Are you cleansing your lashes? Build up can occur due to dust, residue and make up. Quality cleansers are available at the salon.
• Are you touching your eyes often? Oils from your fingers can compromise the adhesion of your lashes quicker.
• Are you applying mascara to your extensions? No make up should be applied to extensions as their ingredients will compromise the adhesion and cause the extensions to fall out much quicker.

Extensions will not damage your eyelashes if they are applied correctly. Choosing the proper curl and diameter and using the right amount of adhesive prevents damage. We are certified artist and provide a professional service.

If you for any reason are looking to have your lashed removed, we highly recommend having them professionally removed to ensure no damage to your natural lashes! Pulling and picking can remove your natural lashes

The removal process using professional serum takes about 10 minutes.

Fills are typically recommended every 2-3 weeks, depending on lash growth.

You have approximately 150 follicles in your upper lash line and approximately 70 in your lower lash line, and they grow and shed at different rates.

There are three phases of hair growth; Anagen (which we refer to as baby hairs) followed by Catagen or teenage hair. The final phase of growth is Telogen, or the adult hairs.

It is healthy and normal to lose between 1 and 5 natural lashes per day. If you are losing more than 5 extensions per day and/or the extensions are shedding without being attached to the natural lash, let your lash technician know right away.

PBT or Polybutylene Terephthalate is a silk blend of fibres, which are the same fibres tooth brush hairs are made from. They are high quality synthetic fibre unlike acrylics and offer a fuller lash. They are heated and treated with formulations that give the appearance and feel of mink, silks, faux mink or Siberian mink. They are lightweight and flexible.

Depending on what style you choose (classic, volume or a combination), as well as the experience level of your artist, it can take up to 3 hours for a full set and up to 2 hours for fills.

We recommend not trimming your lashes as it runs the risk of trimming your natural lashes. Additionally, extensions are tapered at the end so trimming would create a blunt end, and an unnatural look.

YES! We have several different tint colours and all tints can be left on the brows for various amounts of time to achieve the perfect shade for you!  The longer the tint stays on, the darker it will become and the longer it can last.

Tinting generally only tints the brow hair, however we are able to leave the tint on longer to tint your skin. Tinting on the skin generally only lasts 1-3 days post-appointment.

Brow tint uses a similar dye that Hair Stylists use. The tint is mixed with peroxide and then applied to the brows for 1-10 minutes and lasts on the hair for 3-4 weeks. Brow Henna is a specially formulated Henna mixture made specifically for eyebrows. The natural powder is mixed with rosewater and then applied to the brows for 15-20 minutes and lasts on the hair for 4-6 weeks. If you have very light or full eyebrows, or do not normally wear a lot of brow makeup, we recommend starting with brow tinting. If you are used to a more filled-in and defined brow, are looking for a longer lasting solution, or are looking to camouflage gaps or sparse brow hair, we recommend booking a Brow Henna service!

The most important factor in extending the longevity of brow tint and Brow Henna is to not get the brow area wet for 48 hours after application. Also, caution when applying any type of skin care products containing exfoliators, face scrubs, moisturizers, or oil based products!  (topical acne medications, retinol, lightening products, alpha hydroxy acids, benzol peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid etc.) Keep all of these away from your brows as they will take away their color, and cause fading quicker.

Castor oil is one of the best-known, “in home” treatments to help promote brow hair growth, we offer a roll on balm here at the beauty bar! ($5.50)  Because it can be quite harsh by itself, we have mixed with coconut , these oils can also contribute to hair growth.
