YUMI™ Lash Treatment | Prép Beauty Parlour

By Valerie Valentine | YUMI

Prép Beauty Parlour is proud to announce that we will now be carrying and offering YUMI™ products as well as services! We are so excited to be part of the YUMI™ family and provide more services to cater to all of your needs! Now let’s move on and explain what the hype with the YUMI™ Lash Treatment is!

For starters, any YUMI™ Lash Lift with Keratin Treatment can only be performed by a certified YUMI™ technician. The process is similar to our regular lash lift (Keep reading to learn about the process!), however, the revolutionary YUMI™ is designed to have greater benefits to natural lashes with minimal to no damage.

What’s the process of a lash lift you ask? Although it may sounds scary, a lash lift is essentially a painless and safe way to semi- permanently curl your lashes! It’s perfect for ladies who fear the lash curler (guilty!!), have lush, long lashes that droop down, or just any ladies that love the way their lashes look curled! A lash lift eliminates the need to curl your lashes every morning, leaving you to wake up with already curled lashes! Flawless! For more on lash lifts, click HERE!

The process is simple. Your Prép technician will prep the surface and lay a gel pad to ensure none of the solution will touch your skin, baby lashes, etc. A silicon bump is then laid on top for your top lashes to sit on top. The larger the bump– the bigger and looser the curl and vice versa! It should last you from 4-6+ (We have gotten 12 weeks too!) weeks depending on your natural lashes and lash cycle!

So what is the difference with YUMI™? YUMI™ lift uses advanced technology and technique to lift all of the lashes individually. This allows your lashes to appear longer, fuller, and darker!

What does it mean when you get a YUMI™ lash lift? Unlike lash extensions, you don’t have to worry about getting fills, removals, or any touch- up treatments! There is no maintenance, no parabens, and no harsh chemicals!

After receiving the treatment we ask that you don’t touch water for at least 24-48 hours. After, you can proceed to go swimming, play sports, enter a sauna, and still continue to use makeup and eye creams that contain oils! With the YUMI™ lashes, you are able to sleep in any position without worrying about your lashes crimping, wash your face- using cotton pads directly on the eye

Vancouver Lash Lift for Men | Prép Beauty Parlour

YUMI™ Lash Lifts for Men! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By Valerie Valentine | YUMI

With eyelash extension and false strip lashes trends blowing up nearly all of 2016, people are looking for better ways to enhance the look of their lashes! Some people love the all-glam, dramatic set of MINK lashes. While others steer clear of glam and settle for a set of natural, wispy set of strips or just mascaras such as the L’ oreal Telescopic– mascaras that elongate lashes. For those who prefer more of a semi-permanent solution, lash extensions, (click HERE and HERE to read more!), would be the way to go.

Now there are also many people who are naturally #BLESSED with long and luscious lashes, who might want to opt for an option that brings out the best in their own lashes. So here we talk about lash lifts, both our regular lifts AND YUMI™ lash lifts again!

A “LASH LIFT” is the best quick and painless way to semi-permanently curl your natural lashes! Wear less makeup, and just add mascara if you want to thicken up! No need for eyelash extensions but can always add extensions for the extra boost of volume if you like!

Lately at Prép, we have been receiving calls from a lot of men who ask if we have a solution to their long, but straight, pointing down lashes. and yes! As long as you have eyelashes, a lash lift– regular or YUMI™, can be performed! Great! Lash lift works on everybody! Intimidated or intrigued? Don’t be! Allow us explain the easy and absolutely painless process of lash lifts really quick!

Similar to the prép steps for eyelash extensions, a gel pad is laid onto the bottom baby lashes. Now to find the perfect curl and curve of the lashes, we use structured and curved silicon pads that are placed on the eyelid. These curved pads come in ton of different sizes and slopes to create different lash curl looks. This is similar to the different curls of eyelash extensions we offer (B, D, C, etc). The larger the raise on the silicon pad– the larger the curve of the lashes, meaning that if you go for a smaller raised bump on the pad, you will have more lift.

Your Prép technician will carefully observe and select the correct size so you leave with the look you desire! Gently lifting the top lashes, we adhere the lashes to the curve of the pad. After the lashes are adhered to the curve, your Prép technician will then apply a perm gel as well as setting or top gel so your lashes stay freshly curled for 4-6 weeks! (Time will vary depending on your own lashes, weather conditions, etc).

Eyelash Extensions at Prép Beauty Parlour

Before Your First Lash Appointment II | Prép Beauty Parlour

By Valerie Valentine | Bella Lash, Eyelash Extensions, Eyelashes, Lash Care, Makeup, Prép Beauty Parlour

Eyelash Extensions at Prép Beauty Parlour

So you’ve seen our last post here and you think you know everything there is to know about lash extensions..right? Nope! There’s more! And don’t you worry, we’ll be walking you through that today! Today we’ll be going over the different types of lash curls and lengths, as well as styles and which shape would be best suited for you!

The synthetic lash that is glued onto one of your natural lashes come in a variation of styles. At Prép we carry B, C, D, and J/A curls.

Different Lash Extension Looks

A/J curls are the most natural and have the least curl in them. A/J curls have little to no curl at all. As flat, no curl lashes, they blend in the easiest and are perfect for those who are getting lashes for the first time and enjoy a very subtle, natural look.

B curls- B curls are the next level of curls. They have a very slight curl and are again, suitable for those who are wanting a natural look to their extensions. They also suit those who are wanting to simply extend the length of their natural lashes without adding too much drama to them.

C curls- C curls are popular for those who usually wear make-up and enjoy a strong look- thats clear that you’re wearing lash extensions. They may even appear as if you are wearing eyeliner. They are noticeable and look gorgeous!

D curls- D curls are the most dramatic type of curl that we carry. These are good for people who hooded eyes or have lashes that are long, but are covered by the shape of their eye. Many clients will come in and have had experiences with C-Curl lashes and expect a dramatic curl, just to notice that the curls are not visible from the front view and instead, only from a side view.

L & L+ curls- These curls look the same as they are named- an L shape! These can only be made possible in a lash lift and may not suit everybody. It is also important to remember that lashes of different curls, length and width may look different on everybody’s lashes!

Moving onto the lash styles, lash extensions, similar to false strip lashes, can be used to create many looks that can accentuate your eye shape. Prép lash technicians will use a variation of sizes and lengths to design the shape properly for each lovely client.

Here are some looks below:

Lash Extension Styles

Natural- Natural style is good for well, those wanting a natural look! They are closest to the natural eye shape. There may be slightly longer lashes attached near the middle as well as the ends, the extensions should match your natural lash style.

Cat-Eye- Cat eyes are sexy, seductive, and stunning! This style is most fitting for shorter and rounder eyes, and will elongate your eyes. “cat-eyes” for those who are hoping to elongate their eyes without the use of eyeliner. Your lash technician will discuss with you as to which curl works out to be the best for the looks.

Doll/Open- Eye/Cute-Prép recommend “cute” or commonly known as doll eye for those who have longer eyes, this style will really open up your eyes! This kind of style suits those who have smaller eyes. The longer lashes in the middle will open up your eyes and create a doe eye look.

Below you can browse some of the looks done by technicians from Prép!
