Prép Beauty Parlour

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.

Vancouver Lash Lift for Men | Prép Beauty ParlourNow 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!

Vancouver Lash Lift for Men | Prép Beauty ParlourSimilar 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. 

Vancouver Lash Lift for Men | Prép Beauty ParlourYour 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).

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

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

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!

Before Your First Set of Eyelash Extensions | Prép Beauty Parlour

As the trend for eyelash extensions continue to soar high, with women of all styles becoming addicted to the, we often get tons of questions on the types and styles of lash extensions! Today we’ll be taking you on a journey step by step to ensure you learn everything there is to learn about eyelash extensions before your first appointment here at Prép! From the glues to the setting periods. We will discuss more on sizes, length and curls next week!  Let’s begin!

First, we are going to talk about learning to know what is a good set and what is not! For lots of lash newbies, they often go to a salon where their set may appear flawless, but in reality is not! After several days, the client may feel discomfort or multiple lashes (including our own baby lashes- yikes!!), may  begin to fall out. Now listen up ladies! Take note:

A proper set of eyelash extensions should feel weightless, painless, and should last 2-3+ weeks depending on your own lash cycle, weather, and any facial products you use. Our certified Prép technicians carefully apply a synthetic eyelash to each one of your natural eyelash using the perfect amount of glue. This being said, the glue should not affect the lashes and make them look clumpy, and should not be seen on your eyelid at all! If a technician applies too much glue, the client will begin to feel discomfort within a few days when her own lashes are growing but they are all stuck together!! Tangled with the extensions AND natural lashes! At Prép we only use individual lashes since cluster lashes will be a definite problem! This is a big NO-NO! If you are worry about the glue going into your eye, this should not be a problem at all as your eyes would be closed and there will be a gel pad under your eye!

As there are many clients with sensitive eyes or skin, we do recommend you call our salon at 604-764-6452 before your visit to book an allergy test on a separate occasion! We carry several different glues that may cater better to you!

Spring and Summer holiday seasons are coming up! What better way than to wake up without a care in the world and looking flawless with long and luscious lashes? Although eyelash extensions are fabulous for day time activities, we frequently have our inboxes flooding up with concerns swimmers and ocean dwellers on whether or not it is safe to wear eyelash extensions during this time. Our answer? A definite yes! We love having our extensions in during our Hawaii and Caribbean get aways! But it is SUPER important to clean them as soon as you exit the majestic waters looking like a mermaid! As the sea water may cause build up and be abrasive and break down the glue.

Before coming in for your eyelash extensions appointment, we recommend you shower and wash your hair and do any face masks regimes before. Since there is a teeny weeny period after getting your lashes, in which you are strongly recommended not to allow any contact with water. In order for the glue to fully cure, water cannot touch the lashes for 24-48 hours. If you do accidentally get water near your eyes within this time frame, the lashes will fall out much faster and you may feel a stinging sensation similar to the one you felt upon getting your lashes. We advise for you to give us a call as soon as possible to make sure your lashes look flawless again!

Working Out With Lash Extensions

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

Working out is essential to keeping healthy whether you lift, swim or dance it’s always a bonus to look amazing while exercising. Lash extensions keep you looking flawless while getting your swim on but all of that sweat can damage your lashes, here is a few tips to keep your lashes looking on point!


 

 


Water Damage:
Our master lash technicians will tell you to avoid showering and washing your face for at least 24 hours (which includes steam rooms), well… The same rules apply for sweat. Sweating during the first 24 hours can make the lash bonds very week, which means you will be back for a fill sooner than you wanted to be.

Shield Your lashes:
Seal your lashes with Intelliseal Lash Sealer (sold at Prép Beauty Parlour), sealing your lashes is very important if you plan on swimming, doing hot yoga, spin class or traveling to any humid places with your lash extensions. Intelliseal creates a shield between your lashes and any type of water or sweat.

Cleanse:
After any kind of exercise make sure to cleanse your lashes to protect them from bacteria and sebum build up, any kind of build up can create infections as well as break down the adhesive to your lash extensions. Facenvy is a paragon free cleansing gel that will remove make-up, dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. Facenvy is safe for extensions and highly recommended by professional lash techs around the world!
