Hot shears cutting service We offer latest hot razor (shears) cutting technology that helps restore health of damaged hair ends.

Eyelash Perms

Toss out that outdated eyelash curler! Eyelash Perms are safe and effective way to keep your lashes curled and beautiful all the time.. This procedure takes approximately 1 hour and the results generally last for 4-6 weeks

What is an Eyelash Perm? We use rubber "rollers" that are gently affixed to the eyelids. These rollers come in varying sizes, allowing the client to select from a range of super-curly to a more natural look. The eyelashes are then individually curled over the rollers, and a permanent solution is applied. Similar to the hair on your head, the solution allows the lashes to retain their curl for a period of 4-6 weeks. Eyelash perms can dramatically open up the look of the eye area and give the appearance of longer and fuller lashes, even before mascara.

Are Eyelash Perms safe? Yes. Perm solution is proven to work gently, yet effectively, on the lashes, creating a lasting curl without the risk of "frying" them.

Can I wear makeup or contacts during the treatment? We ask you to remove all eye makeup and contacts before having an eyelash treatment. This can be done at home or in the spa (makeup remover and contact solution are available in our lounge area.

Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions can add dramatic volume and length to thin and short lashes. In a highly detailed process, extensions are adhered to individual lashes. The slightly curved extensions create a natural and full look and are perfect for those who are tired of using mascara and eyelash curlers. New eyelash extensions can require between 1.5 - 3 hours of treatment and the results will last between 1 and 2 months, depending on the individual. Regular touch-ups help to maintain the look.

How do eyelash extensions work? The basic principle behind eyelash extensions is that individual lashes are applied to the natural lashes with an adhesive substance. Because they are attached to natural lashes, eyelash extensions are not permanent. They will eventually fall out according to the growth cycle of the natural lashes. Because the extensions carry a slight curl, they will add volume and natural curl to the lashes.

Do I need to remove my eye makeup before having eyelash extensions? Yes. Please remove all eye makeup (especially mascara) as this will help the extensions to better adhere to the natural lashes. Please come a few minutes early if you wish to remove your makeup in the salon.

Can I combine an eyelash perm with eyelash extensions? No. In the case of perming over extensions, the perm solution may dissolve or weaken the extension adhesive. In the case of extensions over a perm, extensions may not adhere properly, and may result in an unnatural and undesirable look.

How long will my eyelash extensions last? Extensions generally last 4-6 weeks, depending on the growth cycle of the lashes, and the level of maintenance. Monthly touch-ups after the initial application of extensions help to maintain the look. After having extensions, please avoid wetting the lashes (through showers and swimming) as much as possible. In addition, try to avoid rubbing/scratching the lashes. Do not use harsh makeup remover or eyelash curlers as this may cause the lashes to break, fall off, or bend.

Which is better for me, Eyelash Perming or Extensions?

While the decision to either perm or extend your lashes is entirely personal, here are a few guidelines to help you make the best decision for you.

Eyelashes are too short...	Although Eyelash Perms sometimes give the impression of greater length, Eyelash Extensions add actual length to short lashes.
Eyelash lengths are uneven...	Eyelash Extensions even out eyelash lengths by compensating for shorter lashes.
Eyelash direction is random...	An Eyelash Perm can dramatically improve random eyelash direction by perming stray lashes into place. Eyelash Extensions can only make these lashes less obvious.
Eyelashes are too thin...	Eyelash Extensions will immediately add volume to thin lashes, and are appropriate as long as the lashes are not too thin to support the weight of the extensions and adhesive. Perming can sometimes create the illusion of volume in thin eyelashes.
Eyelashes are too curly, or not curly enough...	An Eyelash Perm is the best way to adjust the curl of the lashes. In this case, Extensions may exaggerate the problem.
