Things you need to know about lash extensions

Hello everyone...
When people hear semi permanent lash extensions I always get asked questions so I will try and answer below





Q1. What is the process like?
Ans. The technique used is isolating one lash and attaching a single lash to your natural lash. The client will be lying down comfortably with eyes closed. The lower lashes will normally be taped down with an under eye pad.





Q2. Does it hurt?
Ans . No it should not hurt you. I even encourage my clients to have a little snooze if they wish.




Q3. How long does it take?
Ans. It should take between 1hr 39 mins to 2hr 30 mins dependin on how fast the lash tech is or how full your lashes are.




Q4. Do the lashes feel heavy?
Ans. No they feel like your own natural lash because depending on how thick or light your lashes are... there are different lenghts and thicknesses to suit you.




Q5. Why are they called semi permanent lashes?
Ans. Every lash goes through a normal cycle and sheds off while a new one grows in that place. This is why it is called semi permanent.




Q6. Will it hurt my natural lashes?
Ans. If not fixed properly yes it could so make sure anybody fixing lashes for you knows cares about your eyes  and is not about making quick cash.




Q7. Whenever I fix lash extensions I feel it has chopped off my lashes?
Ans. You are now used to seeing longer more glamorous lashes and don't forget they are longer than your natural lashes



Q8. How long does it last?
Ans. After 3 weeks you will notice it is not as full as before. I tell my clients to come in for refills not later than 4 weeks. If put for a special occasion you can alow it shed naturally or come back and have the lashes removed professionally. Please do not pluck!




Q9. How do I care for the lashes?
Ans. Wash it gently, pat to dry, no rubbing the eyes, if u sleep on your face u might need an eye masks. ....no oily substance around the eyes.




Q10. Will I need to use mascara ?
Ans. You can use an oil free mascara but I tell my clients they dont need mascara
If you have more questions you can ask in the comments section and I will answer you as well as update this post.

MY TOP 5 BEAUTY SUMMER MUST-HAVES

My Top 5 beauty summer must-haves

Summer is the hottest and warmest time of the year. Check out my top 5 beauty summer must-haves:

1. Sunscreen: With the sun out you definitely need to protect your skin against the harmful rays. I always make sure my SPF face cream is 15 and above. Make sure you rub it on a few minutes before you plan to go out.


 







2. Brow powder: I like using brow powder to fill in my brows when i want to go for a more natural look.



3. Lash extensions: Since i don't want to worry about mascara running or smudging i love love lash extensions, they open up your eyes and give you a more youthful look.


4. Pedicure: Most people are wearing peep toes shoes and sandals during summer. You definitely need to pamper those feet to feel soft and nice.


5. Primer: face primer or eye primer, if you want your makeup to last longer in the heat then you need these in your arsenal. 


Enjoy the summer. Be natural, be beautiful, be you!

EYEBROW ARTISTRY - MY BAI EXPERIENCE

Hi everyone! it has been ages but I am back for real! Seriously! If you have missed me on my blog i really hope that you have not missed me on the internet especially on my face book page.

Quick reminder you can find me on these various platforms twitter (omegiee), facebook (yazisplace), instagram (omegiee). To have a personal chat you can try our bbm channel C0031C40C.


Now going back to the topic, While I was away from my blog but not away from the internet, I came across the work of students of a brow course. Their work was really exceptional and so natural and beautiful. While contacting the school I found out they were launching an online course. I communicated with the founder and immediately loved how passionate she sounded about her course.

Thus began my journey with the Brow Artist International. Their course is so thorough but what really amazed me and still does is the follow up and feedback made available for the graduates is amazing. I have begun to look at the brows in a totally different form. I am glad to be part of a network of highly skilled and passionate brow artists worldwide.

I just completed my practicals and written tests and really look forward to getting my certificates.

Find below some pictures of brows done since i became a student of the course(this is not semi permament or permanent makeup). I look forward to getting clients who are interested in getting the full potential of their eyebrows. You can call 08179968691/08054145929.
