Cynthia, Sculptured Gel Extensions Technician | Prép Beauty Parlour

Now lets skip that awkward stage of sitting with a nail tech who was a mere stranger only seconds ago and tell you all a little about Cynthia!

Cynthia has been a nail tech for 5 years! Her creativity and designs have caused us to fall in love with her work day after day! Her work was well appreciated when she became one the finalists of Salon Magazine’s Contessa Nail Awards! Cynthia’s favourite destinations include Trinidad, Jamaica, and basically everywhere with constant summer weather! She is ambidextrous- what does this mean? It means Cynthia is both left and right handed! Handy- dandy for doing her own nails!

Check out some of her work below!

Lash Extensions Summer Care | Prép Beauty Parlour

Summer is FINALLY on it’s way! (Or so our calendar says… Vancouver weather says otherwise..), so what does this mean?

It means beaches, deep forest adventures, late night bonfires, and morning jogs at the seawall of course! With all of these activities, plus our vitamin-D giving friend Mr. Sun, wearing strip lashes the entire day is a big no-n0. Why? Not only is it uncomfortable to wear strip lashes all day, but just imagine that mascara running down your cheeks on the hot summer day! Absolutely dreadful!

Best Eyelash Extensions Vancouver| Prép Beauty Parlour

Our solution? Nothing other than to treat yourself to a new set of fluffy lashes! Unlike strip lashes, lash extensions are completely waterproof, fool proof- allowing you to enjoy your favourite summer activities at ease! Many of you might ask, “so how can I keep them looking their best even through my sweaty  runs?”, don’t ever fret, your local bestie, Prép team is here to guide you through a long summer of sunset escapes!

1Okay, but regardless of whether you’re diving in and out of the pool or not, always cleanse and rinse your lashes! Rinsing your lashes gets rid of the buildup that’s been living on them- aka, dust, pollutants, makeup (if you’re a sneaky mascara wearer!!!). Not only does it cause your lashes to fall out faster, but can also cause very nasty blepharitis! Particularly in the summer, we strongly recommend that you cleanse your lashes after swimming! This is where chlorine, salts, and other chemicals will cause even more build up than usual!

2

Summer means tons of bonfires and creating moments near the ocean! Camp songs, selfies, everything seems great! Until you get too near the fire! Since your lash extensions are made of a synthetic material, the ends will look burnt and crinkly if too close to the heat! The same thing goes for those family BBQ nights!

3It is always important to remember that a big part of making sure your lashes last, is to take proper care of them! Besides cleansing daily, this also means to brush them everyday with your spoolie to remove all the build up of dust that might have collected on your lashes! It also helps to brush from the top down to remove any tangles your lashes might have ended up in.

4If you’re like us and like to wear make-up on top of your lash extensions to give it that extra kabam, we would highly recommend you only use our Volume Touch Mascara. Since it is made and formulated for lash extensions, it is free of oils and calls for a easy removal! If you want to wear eyeliner as well as other make- up, we would say to use only oil free makeup, as well as eyeshadow or powder makeup! Just remember, oil and lash extensions are not friends!

5

Lastly, but never, ever least- sunscreen! Wearing sun screen is a definite MUST! It is super important to protect our skin from UV rays to prevent skin cancer as well as wrinkles and fine lines caused by overexposure of the sun. So yes- it is important to wear sunscreen while we’re enjoying fun summer activities, but how do our lashes like it? Again, as long as it is an oil free sun screen- feel free to use all the sunscreen you want at your disposal!

Best Blow Outs Vancouver

Blow- Outs in Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

PREP LOGO

What’s better than a fun trip to the hair salon to get a blow out?! Getting a blow out right after you get your lashes and nails done! Of course, a spa day getting Prépped 100% in Downtown, Vancouver is always a good idea! We at Prép Beauty Parlour are so excited to announce that besides offering lash extensions, lash lifts, microblading, and nail services, etc, we have started to offer blow outs!Best Blow Outs Vancouver

Blow-outs are all about getting that glam, bounce, and volume! They are a great way to style hair that’ll last up to 3-4 or even more, days! Getting a blow out means getting a look that’ll last, and with the help of our new best friend dry shampoo (click here to see our current favourite!). What this means for your hair health is you’re limiting the amount of shampoos and blow-dries you do at home! Over-washing your hair is literally one of the most catastrophic things you can do to your hair! Not only does it wash out all of the healthy, natural oils keeping our hair shiny, but may also cause dandruff, dullness, and excessive oils (unless you’re opting for 1950’s Greaser boy look- then do so at your own disposal!)!

Particularly for people with frizzy and curly hair, blow outs are the perfect solution to taming your wild mane! Leaving your hair voluminous and silky smooth, walk out of Prép looking like an A- Lister on the red carpet!

At Prép we only use the finest of products! Our go-tos ranging from Morrocanoil to Bumble & Bumble- you can trust your hair with us!

Prép Beauty Parlour Grand Opening

Prép Beauty Parlour Grand Opening Party

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Prép Beauty Parlour

After nearly 6 years of being at our old Hornby location, we had become one of the most populated salons in Downtown, Vancouver! Not only did we start to offer more services, we also began to house more talented artists! After a long and successful run at our Hornby location, Prép Beauty Parlour’s founder and Owner Mika decided to move us to a bigger and better space!

Without the support of many of our frequent and loving clients, we wouldn’t have been able to have expanded into such a beauty empire! So we would like to thank you all again!

Another special thanks to the many vendors who were generous enough to sponsor our grand opening event!
