By | beauty, Prép Beauty Parlour

 

Introducing the HapaBomb kids (Formerly known as the Bath Bomb Kids), Emia, Aria and Kaia! Taking from their parents business skills, Jay and Mika (the owners of Prép Beauty Parlour) these two girls have started their bath bomb business when they were just 4 and 6 years old. Every pedicure is handmade with love using only natural ingredients!

If you’ve ever gotten a pedicure at Prép Beauty Parlour you’ve noticed that every pedicure gets a bath bomb… yes, these are one of the custom made, handmade bath bombs made from these little entrepreneurial girls!

Even better, the girls do custom orders and have 3 different sizes of bath bombs.

What is brow lamination? Brow laminating at Prép Beauty Parlour

By | brow laminating, Prép Beauty Parlour | No Comments

Brow lamination… a beauty trend that originally came from the UK but has taken over western social media! You must of come across it at some point on your instagram explore page, but what actually is it and how does it work?

What is brow lamination?

Brow lamination uses your natural brows to lift them and smoothes them in a vertical direction… if you have any gaps or thinning in your brows, this takes care of it! It grooms them in one direction so you can wake up with beautiful brows that you don’t need to fill in. For blonder ladies, pair this off with a tint and you will be all ready to go!

This client is showing off her transformation after her brow lamination and a yumi lash lift! She almost looks like a different person right? Eyes and brows both are important features on your face… beauty guru’s say that brows shape your face so with the perfect brows you will be all set. To read more about the Yumi lash lift and tint click here 

What materials do you use?

Just like there are many different brands of lash lifts, there are many brands that you can use for brow laminating. At Prép we use the YUMI brand lift… so what does this mean? YUMI is a European brand and has the least amount of harsh chemicals and is the healthiest for both your lashes and brows… lifts also last longer with YUMI! ♡

Who can get their brow’s laminated?

A brow lamination can be fit for anybody! Weather you want to hide some gaps or thinning brows or make your brows look thicker or if you just want to wake up to perfectly groomed brows! Brow lamination can be a fit for you.

How long does brow laminating take?

About an hour! With results lasting 4-8 weeks ♡

Weather it is thinning brows, gaps in your brows, or you just want your brows to look more lifted and fuller without committing to other more permanent services like micro blading, brow lamination may work for you!

Covid-19 Re-opening update | Prép Beauty Parlour |

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

We have missed you all! We are getting closer and closer to reopening Prép… we cannot wait to see you all again! We currently do not have a concrete date, but we are aiming for June 1st if health officials clear us to open up again. When we open, our top priority will be keeping all of our staff and clients safe and we will be implementing new regulations to make sure everybody stays safe.♡  

What we will be doing to keep our staff and clients safe:

♡  No cash payments – we encourage contactless payments! We will be disinfecting the debit machines between each client.

♡  Everybody will be required to wear a face mask to their appointments. Our technicians will have masks and shields to keep everyone safe!

♡  We ask that you only come in for your appointment time. To make sure we are still social distancing, we will be closing the waiting room.

♡  We will be taking less appointments at a time, and the lash technicians will be spaced out to every other bed. Spots are low and inquiries are high so make sure to get your name on our waitlist here!

♡  We will be adding hand sanitizing stations around the salon for our guests and staff.

♡  We will be changing the bed sheets between every client. To keep you comfortable, we will switch the towel on top of our pillows between every appointment so it is fresh for each client.

♡ We will be doing a deep clean of the salon everyday. 

♡ We will be keeping a close eye and make sure we follow all the instructions from health officials! We will all get through this together! 

Questions?

Please do not hesitate to contact us! Don’t forget to get your name on our waitlist to be the first to know when we reopen!

Time for your beauty appointment? How to get on our waitlist now! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

It’s about time for that manicure, lash re-fill, brow appointment, or just about anything beauty! As we do our job to stay closed and allow the COVID-19 pandemic curve to fall, we are preparing for our (hopeful near future!) re-opening! The health and safety of both our client’s and staff will be our highest priority, and with that we will be implementing steps to ensure that everyone is kept safe. ♡

♡Why create a waitlist?

We have had tons of inquiries recently! Although we aren’t sure when we will be re-opening, we know that once we do, we will have to take extra precautions to make sure everybody visiting the salon is safe. Some things we will be implementing (for example, booking extra time in-between clients to make sure our technicians have time to wash their hands and sanitize their stations), we will need some extra time. We want to make sure we can get everybody in for their appointments in a timely manner once we re-open, so a waitlist will help us to do just that!

♡How do I get my name on the waitlist?

To get your name on the waitlist, you can either call or text us at 604-764-6452 or click here

YUMI lash lift and tint FAQ | Prép Beauty Parlour |

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Wanting to take a break from eyelash extensions, or have you tried them and they just weren’t for you? Although we absolutely love lash extensions at Prép, we understand that it is not for everyone! That is why we also offer the YUMI lash lift and tint treatment at our salon in downtown, Vancouver! Before you try them out, here are some frequently asked questions about the lash lift and tint…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: How long does one treatment of the YUMI lash lift last?
A: One treatment lasts you 8-12 weeks! The tint portion of the service tends to fade first, so some ladies choose to come in to re-tint their lashes earlier. ♡ 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: Is it like eyelash extensions where I have to come in for ‘fill’ every few weeks?
A: No, unlike the eyelash extensions you do not need to come in every few weeks, or every 8-12 weeks. When the lift begins to fall, it is very subtle and happens over time. You won’t notice a dramatic change in your lashes. However, many ladies fall in love with the treatment and we often see them back every few months! ♡ 

Q: How long does the service take?
A: The YUMI lash lift and tint takes about 75 minutes in total to complete.♡ 

Q: Can it be done while on latisse?
A: Absolutely! After using growth serums like EyEnvy, the lift results are much more dramatic and make your lashes look very luscious. It is recommended to use products like latisse or EyEnvy for 2-3 months before getting the lift for optimal results!

Pictured below is a Yumi lash lift and tint after the use of EyEnvy for a few months. ♡ 

Q: Will the YUMI lash lift add length to my lashes? Will it make them longer?
A: No. Although the YUMI lash lift will not make your lashes longer, it ‘lifts’ them from the root, which make your lashes look longer and fuller. The tint also makes a big difference for ladies with blonde or brunette lashes. ♡ 

Q: What do I do for aftercare?
A: The YUMI lash lift is very low maintenance! The only aftercare that is essential is to not get your lashes wet for 24 hours (although 48 hours is recommended). We also carry 2 brands of keratin aftercare…. using the keratin nourish mascara after getting a YUMI lash lift will prolong the life of your lashes, hydrate them, and get rid of any crossing of your lashes that you may notice. Although not necessary, it is highly recommended! Especially after more that one YUMI lash lift treatment. After your appointment, we will send you off with a mascara wand, so make sure to comb your lashes out once or twice a day. ♡ 

Q: Do you have to already have long lashes to get a YUMI lash lift?
A: No you don’t! Ladies with shorter lashes certainly can get YUMI lash lifts as well… the results may be a bit more subtle though. However, after getting a lash lift the real length of your lashes really come out! ♡ 

Q: Will the YUMI lash lift damage my lashes?
A: The YUMI brand of lash lift is the best in the market, and contains no harsh chemicals. Your lashes definitely won’t be damaged afterwards, but it is certainly worthwhile to use the keratin mascara afterwards to keep them healthy and hydrated, while keeping your YUMI look fresh! ♡ 

Q: How do I prepare for my YUMI lash lift appointment?
A: Please arrive to your appointment with no eye makeup on. ♡ 

Q: Can I still wear mascara after I get a YUMI lash lift?
A: Yes you can! After the 24-48 hour window after your appointment, you are free to continue your makeup routine as normal! ♡ 

Q: What if I want a more natural and subtle looking lift?
A: We offer 3 different ‘sizes’ of lifts: small, medium, and large. The larger the bump on the silicone pad, the more subtle the lift and visa versa. Pictured below, is a YUMI lash lift in progress using a small silicone pad (the most dramatic lift size). ♡ 

Q: Does it hurt?
A: Not at all! Most people fall asleep during the appointment. ♡ 

Q: Are the YUMI lash lift products vegan/ cruelty free?
A: Yes they are! ♡ 

Q: Why do the lashes look wet in the after photos?
A: After we remove the tint, we apply a keratin nourishing mascara to your lashes. This is why they look wet! After the 24 hour initial period, your lashes will be looking light and fluffy. ♡ 

Q: Does the YUMI Lash lift service include a tint as well? Or is there an extra charge for the tint?
A: Yes! The YUMI Lash lift includes a complimentary tint. However, there are definitely some ladies who decide they do not want to get the tint when they already have dark lashes. ♡ 

Q: Can I get eyelash extensions shortly after getting a YUMI Lash lift?
A: Unfortunately not, your lashes will be too lifted to apply the extensions. However, if you decide to get lash extensions while your lashes are still lifted, give us a call and we can book you in to relax your lashes. This is about a 15 minute process that will essentially ‘relax’ your lashes to their baseline curl. ♡ 

Q: Can I react to YUMI products? Can I be allergic?
A: No you can’t- unless you are allergic to the glue (which is a sugar base). ♡ 

Q: What is the difference between a lash lift and an eyelash perm?
A: A YUMI Lash lift works to lift your lashes up from the base. This will make them look longer! A eyelash perm typically will ‘curl’ them from the middle of your lashes… which could actually make them look shorter.

Q: How can I book an appointment?
A: To book with one of our talented YUMI lash lift technicians, you can call or text us at 604-764-6452. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions as well! ♡
