What to Look For if You’re Considering Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions have become quite popular…and for good reason. Millions of savvy women and even some men are waking up looking flawless and fabulous with little to no fuss with lashes.  If you haven’t heard yet, mascara is so last year…and individually placed eyelashes by certified and professional lash stylists are on trend, and the fastest growing beauty segment over the last few years.

If you’ve considered getting lashes or are on the fence here are some things to look for when choosing eyelash extensions and a stylist in Virginia Beach, VA  , Aurora, Colorado or where You call home !.

  1. Be sure your stylist has a few clients under her belt. While every stylist has to begin somewhere, if she or he is new to the industry their prices should reflect this and be priced accordingly. Typically you can expect to pay anywhere from $85-$200 for a set of lashes. Other things to consider is where you’re looking…if you’re looking for lashes in New York City…you can expect to shell out at least $250+…lashes in Ohio..maybe $99…prices vary due to lash stylist experience and their location.
  2. Be prepared to get addicted. This is one of the things I hear from over half of my current clients…is that they didn’t expect to love them so much…and in turn fall in love with how easy their mornings have become. This is especially true for busy moms, and those who are always on the go where mornings are a crunch.

  3. Be prepared to expect high maintenance. Eyelash extensions are not for you if you’re looking for cheap versions. To maintain your gorgeous eyelashes you’ll need to schedule regular fill ins…typically every 2-3.5 weeks. Every person is different and some may go longer…but some people have natural lashes that only hold on to 50% of the extensions for 10 days. These fill in appointments will bring your lashes back to life and back to full. But take note…you’ll need at least 50% of your extensions left in order to be considered a fill in. Most stylists will charge you a full set if you arrive for a fill in eyelash appointment with only 10 lashes left per eye…
  4. Be prepared to take care of your investment. Keeping your lashes beautiful does require a few tweeks to your daily. Like laying off the waxy based eyeliners and eye shadows. These cosmetics tend to build up on the lash line and are not your eyelash extensions friend. They will cause premature extension fall out, and leave you with less lashes faster. Instead opt for a liquid eyeliner, and gel based shadows.
  5. Get comfortable on your back…sleeping that is. Face sleepers beware…eyelash extensions don’t do so well when they’re smashed into your pillow. If you’re a side sleeper consider where your face is in relation to your pillow, and avoid sleeping on your face.

Phew…it’s a lot to consider and you may find that you simply decide to give them a go for a weekend getaway or for a special occasion. Either way you can be sure that if you choose your lash extension stylist wisely you’ll be in love from that first eye open reveal!

Understanding semi permanent makeup results, how long does the technique last. What is microblading?
By Rickina Velte 02 Sep, 2017
Microblading is the talk of the beauty world and if you're reading this right now you may be wondering if permanent or semi permanent makeup is the career choice for you. This not so new but new to us industry is literally changing lives as it takes the beauty industry by storm. For as long as many of us can remember we've either over tweezed, or filled in our eyebrows...Ever. Single. Day  

It's a time consuming ritual that thousands and thousands of beauties are sick of doing. So in comes Microblading a semi-permanent savior of a technique. Delivering a beautifully natural and realistic looking set of eyebrows that provide easier mornings, no worries at the beach or in the shower.  It truly is a life-changing service that once mastered can be equally rewarding for you as the artist and for your clients. 

But getting started is different in every state and regulations are changing and shifting constantly to further create a solid set of rules for those looking to get started. Some require a license, while others do not. Best idea is to start with who regulates the tattoo industry in your state or country.  From there you should be able to find the answers you need to kick your Microblading artist career off. 

But sometimes overlooked is your personal inventory of skills, mindset and passion. Offering Microblading takes intense hand and eye coordination, a knack for artistry of the face, patience and an understanding of how the eyebrows play such an important role on everyone's face. I always like to say that one hair or stroke can make or break a set of brows. Without believing this truth...you may find that this field isn't for you. 

Next are you ready for the business side of things? If you're considering striking it out on your own, you better be ready to wear 10 different hats...and juggle them in the air. You have to be the artist, the janitor, the marketer, the accountant, the legal, the designer, and then some.  Running any business alone is never easy, but running a beauty business poses its own set of challenges. Not only do you have to be an artist you have to be a whip at getting new clients to you. And unfortunately many microblading trainers out there today have no idea how to do this. They may be amazing brow artists and instructors...but have no clue beyond Facebook and business cards to grow your new business. So you are then in a position of having a beautiful new skill you wanna share with the world...but no one to share it with. 

So by now you may be over the moon excited to get started...or having second thoughts. Both of which are totally normal. But if you're having second thoughts, maybe sit down and take inventory on what is creating the doubt. Is it the investment in training, or the business side of it all? 

Or if you're ready to jump in head first...you're next steps are finding out your local regulations, seeking a reputable Microblading trainer or educator, and mapping out your business goals to get started. 

Lucky for you, I'm not only an Online Visibility Specialist for Microblading, Lash Artists and Beauty Pros...I also educate and train stylists on the art of skills to do the service, and how to bring them new clients.  I have the online marketing background... AND...I provide these services in my business still today. I can totally relate to your challenges, your questions and come right along side of you and guide you towards a Microblading career or business you're in love with.
