Lash care and purpose

I wanted to share an article I found today on eyelash extensions posted by national news. This article does a great job describing eyelash extensions and their purpose. I especially enjoyed reading the part about taking care of and extending the life of eyelash extensions.

Feel free to read the article and comment on your thoughts.

Katie's Lashes

Katie requested more natural looking lashes but still wanted to enjoy the striking effects of lash extensions. To create a more pronounced appearance without having a potentially over-dramatic look, I chose to do what is called a partial set. A partial set of eyelash extensions means to gauge their natural lashes as a guideline of sorts for both spacing and application.  By adding to Katie's natural lashes we were able to create her desired natural fuller look. Katie's partial created a contrast, bringing out her eye color while enhancing her already stunning look.

Jessica's lash fill

On Jessica's eyelash extensions I do 13's C curl on all of her lashes. 13's give extra length creating a stronger contrast for bright colored eyes.  Jessica has beautiful green eyes and her extensions really make them pop.

Taylor's Hair

I did the charming Taylor's hair today. She had edgy platinum hair but wanted something more natural and low maintenance. She has such a fun style and is always up for a change. So I matched her natural root color and put a shade lighter on the rest of her hair. It turned out beautiful.

Aubrey's hair change

Aubrey has been doing highlights for years but naturally has pretty dark hair. She was sick of always having dark roots and wanted to get her hair healthy again. So I did an all over color with her natural color and left out pieces for caramel highlights. It turned out beautiful and looked great with her skin tone.
