Updated March 2nd, 2021

Enjoy our tips #1-5! 

Tip 1: Satin or Silk Pillow Cases

 Satin or silk pillow cases are a great way to ensure the longevity and care of your lash extensions! If you are a side or belly sleeper, your lashes can get snagged, pulled or tangled in other pillow case fabrics. Satin is gentle to lash extensions, hair, skin and scalp. Avoid losing lashes, and sleep on a cloud of silkiness! They also help reduce wrinkles, hair frizz, and static! Coming soon, we will be carrying a variety sizes and colors of "Morning Glamour" satin pillow cases. 

You can also find a variety online at morninglamour.com

Tip 2: DIY Make-Up Removing Wipes

(Hypoallergenic, oil free, and eyelash extension friendly.)

Afraid to wash your face because of your lash extensions? But still have make up on? Don't want to spend a fortune on makeup remover wipes or wash that has no oil? cant find one without oil? Make some instead! Take a roll of viva paper towels (or lint free, or least lint free) and cut in half. Place in a Tupperware or container. Than, take 4 cups of hot water and mix in 1-2 tablespoons of baby shampoo. The one I have chosen is non toxic, hypoallergenic, and oil free! Mix the water and shampoo gently, so it doesn't bubble. Once mixed evenly, Apply  the mix by pouring over the roll and in the container. Close and leave for 15-20 minutes. Come back and remove the cardboard core roll,until it's softened enough that you can pull it out. And Vuah-lah! Make up remover wipes soft enough for your skin and lashes!  And the best part? You have made a ton of make up removing wipes, for a fragment of designer brands!

For summertime, add 1-2 table spoons of aloe vera, and:or place the wipes in the refrigerator for summer cool down wipes! Great for after the beach or camping.

Tip 3: Book a Fill Appointment! 

Once you have a new full set of lashes, make sure to book every 2,3 and even 4 weeks for a fill appointment. If this is your first time getting lashes, check back after 2 weeks. We offer 4 different fill appointments ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Everyone is different, so depending on how fast your lash cycle is, make sure for fill appointments that you have at least 30-25-% of your lashes left for a fill appointment (each eye!) For pricing and appointments call us to book and keep your lashes looking full and beautiful!

Tip 4: The Blow Dryer Trick

To keep up with your lashes, here's a great idea for drying! Sometime's coming out of the shower/pool/saunas, etc. Lashes can appear or feel to be heavy. This is caused by heat or moisture from when they are wet or damp after the shower, bath, pool, or more. Sometimes air drying doesn't "fluff-em up", but here's a trick that can help. Take your blow dryer and make sure its on the "cold shot" or the cool setting. Make sure to test the temperature first. (The heat can potentially damage, singe, melt, or destroy lashes depending on what type of lashes you have on. Don't do it!) Take your cool blow dryer and hold it by your stomach, having he nozzle facing up towards your face. It'll dry your lashes faster, but also help fluff them! :) Make sure to detangle with your mascara wand, and vuah-lah! Perfectly Fluffed lashes. The better your lashes stay drier, the longer your lashes will last.

Tip 5: Brow Tape No No

Every time I see this, it makes me so angry. Every lash tech learns from different educators and differently. No matter what tech you go to, and regardless if they use surgical tape, paper tape, foam tape, etc. They should NEVER be applying any tape to your brows. I understand some techs will disagree, because every eye shape is different to accommodate, but taping the brows is laziness and can be damaging and painful to the client! Taping the brows can cause damage and irritation to the brows and can cause irritation to the delicate skin on the eyelids. If clients or customers see this, tell your tech NO, or I'd suggest finding another tech.
