4 Popular Treatments for Frizzy Hair

by

Nobody likes dry, brittle, and frizzy hair. Women try several home remedies and store-bought serums and solutions to eliminate the frizz from their hair. However, the best way to really get rid of the brittle, frizzy hair is via hair conditioning treatments in salons. Let’s look at four popular treatments for frizzy hair provided at hair treatment service provider Beauty Lounge.

Do You Have Frizzy hair?

How can one tell if they have frizzy hair or if they just occasionally act up?

People with frizzy hair know for sure that their hair is problematic. They have their own mind and prefer to stand up or curl separately instead of aligning with the hair around them.

Frizz can be a problem for both men and women; however, it is more obvious in women since their hair is longer.

People buy store-bought conditioners and oils and use home remedies to eliminate frizz. Although these remedies work at times, frizz, more often than not, overcomes these treatments.

For a long-lasting solution for frizzy hair, it is recommended to get a treatment from a hair treatment service provider.

Hair Conditioning Treatments for Frizzy Hair

There’s only so much you can do at home, despite changing up your hair care regimen and incorporating items like hydrating hair treatments, hair serums, and oils. Sometimes you simply need to rely on professionals. Listed below are some salon services that can help prevent frizzy hair.

Keratin Treatment

The keratin treatment includes formaldehyde, conditioners, and Keratin, the natural protein found in human hair. The best candidates for this therapy have frizzy or curly hair. It makes it easier to get silky smooth hair that is semi-permanent. Its conditioning and anti-frizz properties make it a popular hair conditioning treatment.

The Keratin treatment rehydrates and softens frizzy, damaged, and lifeless hair. Additionally, it eliminates 90% of curls and should last for at least six months.

A hair treatment service provider could apply keratin treatment in two ways:

  • Apply a solution made of formaldehyde to all of the hair and rinse it. Straighten and blow-dry the hair after rinsing. The results from this method could easily last up to a month.
  • The basic keratin treatment involves penetrating it into the layers of hair. It makes hair silkier and shinier and maintains that condition for roughly three to six months.

Brazilian Blowout Treatment

The results from the Brazilian blowout treatment are similar to the Keratin treatment and can last approximately 4-6 months. However, this treatment is a tad bit better than Keratin since it uses a mild specific mixture of substances tailored to your type of hair. This mixture enables you to resume your normal hair routine and lifestyle as soon as you leave the salon.

The Brazilian Blowout removes frizz and adds shine, moisture, and style ability to your hair by using Brazilian-native ingredients, including acai berries, annatto seed, and camu camu.

Cysteine Treatment

A kind of protein-based treatment, cysteine treatment uses the cysteine compound to hydrate, straighten, and soften hair strands. This is one of the hair conditioning treatments recommended by professional when hair are extensively damaged by chemicals and styling.

  • Due to the absence of formaldehyde, which is utilized in other treatments, this technique is more gentle.
  • Depending on the type of hair, it could last up to four months.
  • Since it does not contain any toxins, pregnant women can use it without concern.
  • New hair growth does not seem curly or wavy or reveal any possible variation between treated and natural hair.

The cysteine treatment is, however, a much lengthier process. It involves washing and blow-drying the hair first. Followed by the application of the cysteine complex on small portions of hair. The compound is not applied to the hair roots. Once all hair follicles are covered in the formula, the hair is wrapped in plastic for approximately 45 minutes. Heat is then given to the hair to activate the compound. After this step, the hair is blow-dried and flat-ironed for a sleeker appearance. Finally, shampoo and conditioner are applied to the hair and result in smoother, shiner, and silkier hair.

Hair Botox Treatment

The perfect hair Botox procedure includes deep conditioning to improve the health of the hair. The procedure, which includes coating hair with ingredients that help reduce frizz, is quite straightforward and formaldehyde and chemical free. The hair botox treatments result in beautifully glossy hair.

  • It deeply nourishes and smoothens the hair.
  • It adds shine and gloss to hair while eliminating frizz.
  • Increases volume while also fixing any damage.
  • While this treatment option does not guarantee straight hair, it does make hair more manageable, silky, and smooth.
  • Additionally, the result from hair botox treatments lasts much longer than just 4 or 6 months!

The Dangers of Deep Conditioning Your Hair at Home

by

Deep Conditioning

Deep conditioning your hair, what is it, when to do it, and how to do it? You may have heard everyone discussing its wonders and tried it yourself. However, why don’t you get the desired results, or worse, why has your hair become a brittle, tangled mess? Let’s find out.

What Is Deep Conditioning?

As the name suggests, deep conditioning is a process where a product with ingredients to rejuvenate your hair is applied to the hair for an allocated period.

In simple terms, it’s putting a treatment on your hair for a specified time and rinsing it off. Getting deep conditioning treatments is the secret to healthy hair for many people. In fact, it’s not even that well-guarded a secret since everyone is talking about it.

Types of Deep Conditioning Treatments:

Deep conditioning treatments are one of two kinds:

Moisturizing treatments

When your hair is moisture deficient, its shine is the first to go. Other signs include dryness, fizziness, easily tangled hair, and split ends. If this sounds like your issue, you need a deep moisturizing condition treatment to bring your lost hydration back.

Moisturizing deep conditioners usually feature ingredients like natural oils, kinds of butter, and plant extracts that hydrate the hair.

Protein Treatments

When hair becomes lifeless, limp, or stringy, you can be certain it lacks protein. Proteins are the building blocks of our hair.

Imagine how bricks build up a wall and protein builds up your hair. You can fix your hair’s lack of structure or bounce with a protein-rich deep conditioning treatment.

You should get these treatments less often than hydrating ones. Trust us, a little goes a long way.

Deep Conditioning at Home

It’s common to deep condition your hair at home. However, there are risks involved. While you get a predictable result when you get a professional deep conditioning treatment, treatments at home are either hit or miss.

A lot can go wrong when you deep condition your hair yourself. Professionals have had months of training and sometimes years of experience working with hair. Here are a few examples of what could go wrong.

You Use the Wrong Product

Choosing the wrong product could be as simple as buying a protein mask when you should get a hydrating one or vice versa. It could also be as catastrophic as buying low-quality products that damage your hair or something else entirely, like a relaxer.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Too often, using a deep protein conditioning treatment can build up an excess of protein in the hair. While you think more protein always means better hair, that couldn’t be more wrong. Too much of everything is bad, and protein is no exception.

Too much protein makes your hair brittle, dull, and prone to breakage. Your hair will feel heavy like there’s a layer on top of it. In a way, there is. Remember how protein for your hair is like bricks for a wall? What happens when you use too many bricks while making a wall? It becomes bulky.

The extra protein sits on the hair, weighing it down until it’s washed away. That can take a couple of washes, and the damage to the hair’s structure is already done by then.

DIY Deep Conditioning

During deep conditioning, your hair is risky enough. You will find a wealth of information online on DIY deep conditioning masks and how to make them. These masks claim to give you near-professional results with more applications over time. While that sounds like a dream come true in this economy, your overpriced avocado belongs on your toast, not your hair.

Yes, the deep conditioning treatment at the salon or the store was made from natural ingredients too. However, those ingredients have been refined, and the active agents are concentrated.

You can’t get the same results by putting fruits, vegetables, and oils in your hair. Also, deep-conditioning hair masks have specialized formulations supporting naturally sourced ingredients and extracts.

You may think the only issue is that these masks are expensive and not as effective, but it doesn’t end there.

These masks can damage your hair. Some masks encourage using lemon, strawberries, and even cider vinegar in your hair. Without carefully understanding your hair’s pH needs, you shouldn’t put acids, even naturally derived ones, on your hair.

You’ve probably heard of egg, yogurt, carrot juice, or coconut milk masks too. Some of these ingredients might be too protein-rich or have the wrong proteins for your hair. Others leave sticky residues on your hair that is difficult to wash out of your hair.

You can never be sure what results you’ll end up with. Honestly, you’d need both a food science degree and a cosmetology school certificate to whip up a deep conditioning treatment that can work well and consistently. If you want your deep conditioning treatment to be organic or completely vegan, that’s easily achievable. You don’t have to mix it yourself for that.

Conclusion

Don’t damage your hair through a deep conditioning treatment at home. You may not be able to choose the right products, or worse, try to make your own. Either way, you will not get a predictable or consistent result and only waste money. You can get the results you desire, stress-free, from a professional. Never put your hair at risk to save money. If you can’t afford a deep conditioning treatment, save up and get them less often or use the money for doing it at home to get better shampoo and conditioner.

7 Curly Hair Myths Explained

by

Curly hair can be demanding and challenging to keep up with. Anyone with curly hair knows that curls are a big part of their personality, but they require a detailed routine to keep them looking their best. The biggest challenge is not falling for curly hair myths.

With so much information about curly hair, it can be overwhelming to figure out what is true and what is irrelevant. Learning more about curly hair can ensure that you understand how to care for it properly.

In this article, we will explore seven common curly hair myths and debunk them with facts and expert advice. Stay tuned!

Curly Hair Myths

Myth 1: Curly Hair is Unprofessional

This myth is completely untrue. In fact, when curly hair is properly cared for and styled, it can look just as polished and professional as straight hair. The key is to embrace your natural texture and find a style that works for you. 

There are loads of professional curly hairstyle ideas, including updos, sleek buns, and defined curls. Just remember to avoid over-styling and using too much product, as this can lead to crunchy, weighed-down curls.

Here are some haircut and hairstyle ideas:

  • The Lob: The lob, or long bob, is a versatile hairstyle that works well with curly hair. This style features hair that falls just above the shoulders- it is cut to be slightly longer in the front than the back. You can customize this hairstyle to suit your face shape and curl pattern. A side or center part can be used to style it.
  • The Updo: An updo is a great way to keep your curly hair out of your face and create a polished look for a special occasion or a professional setting. Try a classic bun, a low ponytail, or a French twist. You can also experiment with braids or twists to create a more intricate style.
  • The Half-Up, Half-Down Style: If you want to keep your hair down but still create a polished look, try a half-up, half-down style. This style features hair that’s pulled back from the face and secured with a clip or hair tie while the rest of the hair falls freely. To keep this style looking professional, try smoothing the top section of hair with a brush or comb, and use a curl-defining product on the ends of your curls.

Myth 2: Curly Hair Needs to be Washed Every Day

Washing your hair every day can strip it of its natural oils, which can lead to dryness and damage. It is recommended to wash curly hair every 2-3 days or even less frequently if possible. 

This helps to maintain the hair’s natural oils and prevent frizz. Instead of washing every day, try refreshing your curls with a dry shampoo or co-washing with a conditioner to cleanse the scalp and roots.

Myth 3: Brushing Curly Hair will Make it Smoother

Brushing curly hair

This is one of the biggest curly hair myths that leave many people confused. Brushing curly hair can disrupt the curl pattern and lead to frizz and breakage. 

Instead, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your curls. You can also use your fingers while your hair is wet and coated with conditioner. This helps to smooth the hair and define the curls without causing damage.

You can also look for the best beauty salons on a budget that specialize in curly hair and ask them to show you tricks to care for your specific hair time. This will be an investment that will do wonders for your hair for several years!

Myth 4: Curly Hair Doesn’t Need Conditioner

Regardless of what online beauty trends say, conditioner is a crucial step in any curly hair care routine. Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair because its natural oils have a harder time reaching the ends of the hair strands. 

A conditioner helps hydrate and soften the hair, making it easier to detangle and style. Hence, it is important to choose a conditioner that is specifically formulated for curly hair and apply it generously, focusing on the ends of the hair that tend to dry out the fastest.

Myth 5: Heat Styling is the Only Way to Manage Curly Hair

Heat styling can be damaging to curly hair, especially if it is done frequently or at high temperatures. However, there are plenty of heat-free styling options for curly hair. 

For example, you can use the “pineapple” method to preserve your curls overnight. You can also try a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer to enhance your natural curls. You can experiment with different styles, such as braids or twists, to create a variety of looks without using heat.

One of the best tricks is to tie your hair using a scrunchie at night and cover it with a silk bonnet- this will help curls retain their shape. Cotton pillow covers are terrible for curly hair as they absorb all the moisture. However, with a silk bonnet in place, you can sleep without spending hours on your natural hair the next morning.

Myth 6: Curly Hair Can’t be Colored or Highlighted

Curly hair can absolutely be colored or highlighted, but it is important to take extra care to prevent damage. 

Chemical treatments can be harsh on curly hair. Hence, you must choose a stylist who has experience working with curly hair- the best stylist is someone who uses gentle, nourishing products. It is also a good idea to deep condition your hair regularly to keep it healthy and hydrated.

Myth 7: Curly Hair is always Dry and Frizzy

It is true that curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair. However, this does not mean that it is always frizzy or unmanageable. With the right care and styling techniques, curly hair can be soft, shiny, and defined. 

The key is to use products that are specifically formulated for curly hair. This includes leave-in conditioners, styling creams, and gels. It is also important to avoid using too much product, as this can weigh down the curls and make them look stretched out.

Curly hair myths will always be floating around, but make sure you don’t let them wound your self-confidence!

Conclusion

You will find all kinds of curly hair myths on the internet. However, the key is to double-check with your stylist before making changes to your curly hair routine. If you are ever in doubt, get in touch with a stylist from Beauty Lounge- allow them to get rid of all your curly hair-related confusion and worries.

10 Easy 5-Min Hairstyles for Women

by

Everybody needs a quick hair fix. Particularly on rushed mornings when putting your hair together seems like an impossible task. It can get pretty frustrating to do it all in a span of a few minutes, from taking a shower to drying your hair, getting dressed, having breakfast, and then making your hair look presentable. This is why we decided to share ten easy 5-minute hairstyle ideas for women so you won’t ever have to be late to work or school again.

It will also help if you can get the best haircut services for your hair to make hair styling easier and better.

The Messy Bun

This has to be my favorite hairstyle. And it takes only under 5 minutes and works best on second-day hair!

One of my favorite hairstyle ideas is effortless chic, and almost anyone can pull it off. Try this simple messy bun the next time you’re experiencing a terrible hair day.

Second-day hair is where you want to start if you want to achieve this style. A detangling brush or a wide-tooth comb should be used to remove tangles. To revitalize and create volume, add a splash of dry shampoo to the roots and a drop of oil to the ends.

Put your hair up in a high pony, then use a hooked elastic to hold it in place. You don’t have to comb your hair for this; simply let it hang loose and be rough where it needs to be.

Twisted Side Bun

This is perfect for those mornings you don’t have time to dry your hair after a shower. While it looks beautiful on dry hair, it works great on wet hair too.

The Headband Bun

Incorporating a head scarf or headband into your hairstyle is a great way to spice it up and add a nice pop of color. Since there are no pins or elastics required, this one is also quite simple to pull off. Just twist and tuck the hair into the back of the elastic of the headband!

Twisted Tie Back

Starting at the middle of your forehead, divide your hair. Use bobby pins to fix the right section as you twist it back towards your forehead. For the left section, repeat the process.

Simple Tie Back

Part your hair in the middle of your forehead and gently clip the strands at the back of the head. Spice it up by using funky hair clips.

Braided Upside-Down Bun

Why not give your top knot a little extra flair to really stand out in a crowd instead of just wearing it as is? The upside-down plait at the back of the head effortlessly adds a hint of drama to an otherwise straightforward ensemble.

Looped and Twisted Side Ponytail

This creative side ponytail has a complicated-yet-simple appearance. All you have to do is pull all your hair to one side and secure it in a ponytail. Then make a space right above the hair tie and push your hair through it, creating a twisted loop effect. Keep securing the ponytail as you do down the length of your hair, repeating the twist and looping process. This will create a beautiful hairstyle that is very simple to achieve.

Rope Twist

This hairstyle just rocks from preschool years all through college and then for work. This hairstyle is super simple, quick, and looks great. This is a simple method to step up your ponytails and braids if you’re tired of the usual styles. And if you don’t have much time to transition from night to day, just twist everything into a bun.

Low Messy Bun

For the low messy bun, separate your hair from the center and tie it in a low ponytail around the same place where your ears are. Then separate the pony into two parts and overlap them until you reach the end. Sweep all the hair up and secure it in place with bobby pins. Grab a silk hair wrap in some pastel spring hues and tie it around your head for a chic, attractive finish if you want to add a color accent or structure to this messy bun. A wrap made of dark leather is also perfect for a night out.

Tame any unwanted frizz by using a hairspray and makeup brush.

Middle Part and Top Knot

Leave two thick sections of hair in the front of your face to frame it, and pull the rest of the hair back into a ponytail. Make sure you secure them in a high ponytail using your cheekbones as a guideline. Secure using a bungee or elastic.

Create a bun by wrapping the ponytail around and pinning it. Then, take the two thick locks of hair and loosely pull them so you are able to pin them underneath the bottom of your pony. You can leave these strands down if you prefer, or you can pull them back more tightly. Just keep in mind that it’s OK if there seem to be bumped because the messy bun style doesn’t call for a smooth appearance.

You can also curl those strands in front for a more formal look.

Wrap Up

That brings us to the end of our ten easy 5-min hairstyle ideas for women. These simple, practical, everyday hairstyles will make sure you are not late to work, school, or any other commitments. You can change these hairstyles up and take them up a notch by adding hair accessories and sport them for special occasions and parties as well.

How to Know What Hair Length Suits Your Face Shape

by

Believe it or not, the shape of your face impacts what length of hair will suit your face. Keep reading to find out which hair length best suits your face shape and accentuates your features.

Heart Shape

People with heart shaped faces are slightly wider around the forehead and narrower on the chin. Long soft layers such as bobs and lobs for this face shape elongate the chin. Another way to complement the heart face is by implementing bangs. Long choppy bangs coincide nicely with heart a shaped face. To achieve these bangs, ask your hairstylist to cut bangs vertically rather than straight across.

Oval Shape

Oval shaped faces are longer than they are wide and taper gradually toward the chin. This shape is universal and will suit any length. If you have an oval face shape, try mixing and playing with different lengths and styles. A way that this can be done is by changing up your part. Try opting for a deep side part or even a middle part.

Square Face

Square face shapes have a more angular jawline and a straighter chin. The best haircuts for square faces have layering around the face. This softens the sharp appearance of your jawline to give more of a softer look. A side part is extremely flattering with a square face. Give yourself an off-centered part.

Knowing your face shape will help you not only get the best haircut possible but will also help you look and feel your best! Contact us today at Beauty Lounge to take advantage of all the services that we offer!

Brazilian Blowout Vs. Keratin Treatment

by

Summer right around the corner means warm weather and higher levels of humidity, which can lead to frizzy hair. During this season some popular treatments can be done to help eliminate frizz. Treatments such as Brazilian blowout and keratin treatments both have benefits depending on which treatment is most suitable for your hair.

The Difference Between Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Treatment

Brazilian blowouts and keratin treatments have the same effect on hair. Both eliminate frizz and smooth the hair. They are safe for all hair types including color-treated hair. The main difference between the Brazilian blowout and keratin treatment is that the Brazilian blowout is more customizable. With a Brazilian blowout, the hair stylist can tailor it to your natural hair texture meaning you don’t have to sacrifice your volume or waves.

Another way in which the Brazilian blowout and keratin treatment differ is the downtime. After a keratin treatment, you can’t get your hair wet for 72 hours. The Brazilian blowout does not require any downtime, you can go about your regular styling routine. Another difference to note is the intensity of both treatments. The Brazilian blowout is lighter and will leave hair with more of your natural texture. Keratin tends to be heavier which helps better tame fizz and takes away the additional volume of your hair.

Procedure

The method of application for these treatments does vary. For the Brazilian blowout, the process usually takes two hours, and the results are instant. As opposed to the keratin treatment which will take approximately 3 hours and you will leave the salon with your hair partially done. After the keratin treatment is done you have to wait 72 hours to allow for the keratin to crystalize. 

Now that we’ve given you a rundown of both the Brazilian Blowout and keratin treatment and the process of each, now is your turn to determine which one is right for you! Beauty Lounge RI offers these services and more. Interested in booking? Contact us today to book an appointment!

Eyelash Extension Aftercare

by

Eyelash extensions make a great addition for those wanting to accentuate an eye look. Here at Beauty Lounge RI, we value the importance of eyelash extension care. While eyelash extensions are a simple way to amplify your look, they do require care and maintenance to ensure that they last between fillings.  

Classic Lash

Why is Eyelash Extension Care Important?

  • To prevent possible eye irritation or infections – if you do not take care of your eyelash extensions properly it can lead to possible irritation and eye infections.
  • Lash health – If you do not take care of your eyelash extensions properly this can hinder the growth of new eyelashes.
  • They will look better longer – taking care of your eyelash extensions will increase their overall longevity.

Steps and Tips for Eyelash Extension Care

It’s crucial to keep your set dry for the first 48 hours. After the 48-hour mark, wash your eyelash extensions. If you don’t wash your eyelash extensions after 48 hours residue will build upon your lash line potentially leading to an eye infection.

When washing your eyelash extensions make sure to use a special eyelash extension solution or distilled water. Wash them with a soft bristle brush. Let the water from your shower run down over your face and eyes.

Eyelash Extension Fills

When should you get your eyelash extensions filled? We recommend that you get your lashes filled every 2-4 weeks. The timing may be different depending on factors such as:

  • The amount of lashes applied
  • The maintenance of your lashes
  • Your lash cycle and how fast your eyelashes grow
  • Inform us if anything has changed for example, if you’d like to upgrade to a thicker set etc.
  • Avoid coming in with heavy makeup so we can apply extensions to a clean face

Hair Contouring

by

Hairstylists around the world are using the hair contouring method to transform their customers’ look. This low maintenance color will leave your hair looking expensive without the high maintenance upkeep. With the use of highlights and shadows, you can achieve an upscale dimensional hairstyle that shapes your look.

Origin of Contouring

Contouring has been a pioneer in the makeup industry since the last decade. Using a bronzer and a highlighter, contouring is used to make subtle changes to the shape of the face. This revolutionary make-up hack has transformed faces around the world with support from celebrities like Kim Kardashian and A-list makeup artists.

This transformation has inspired a new hairstyle trend, hair contouring. This method uses dark and light shades in the hair to shape the face. This intentionally placed color works to uniquely shape the face giving an illusion of the desired face structure

Shadows and Highlights

The technical process behind this illusion is the intentional placement of shadows and highlights in the hair. This placement is reliant on the organic structure of the client’s face. Although there is no definitive number of face shapes, some facial structures we see are square, round, oval, long, diamond, heart, and rectangle. Identifying your face structure will help you decide if you want to contour to enhance your natural shape or use the shadows and light to change the structure into the shape of your liking.

Oval Face

Let’s use an oval face shape as an example. For the oval shape, the shadow, or the darkest shade in your hair, would be placed towards the roots of the hair by your stylist. The highlight would start at ear level, cascading toward the bottom where it meets at the brightest point tucked under the neck. The more prominent shade is the dark one with a blatant highlight towards the bottom of the hair. This illusion gives the impression there is a lot of blondes, but the placement and intensity of the blonde is what the captivates the human eye while most of the hair is various shades of brown.

Round Face

This method is done the opposite way for a round shape face. The stylist would process the outer layer of the hair from root to tip with the highlight shade. The shadow section would be under the highlight, placed in the inner part of the hair surrounding the neck. A small section of shadow will be placed directly under the front-most pieces of the hair which flows down into the dark hair surrounding the neck.  In this style, the most prominent shade is the highlight where the dark shade is layered under.

It’s important to note that in between the shadow shade and highlight there is a blend of shades. This blend consists of browns and blondes that create dimension through the style while the darkest shades and brightest make up the contour.

Hues and Cuts

Although traditional shades in hair contouring are browns and blonde, this technique can be achieved with many colors creating a one-of-a-kind look. Hair contouring can be used with any color if you can identify the brightest and darkest hue of that shade.  Hair contouring can be done on all hair lengths and textures. Experimenting with colors and cuts provides an array of unique possibilities.

Transform your look with this intentional hair color. Play with colors, cuts, and shapes to achieve the perfect hair contour for you. Contact a professional stylist a Beauty Lounge RI to achieve this beautiful style today!

Prices vary between factors like technique, length, additions, and overall personal preference of the eyelash technician. A classic set can go for approximately 60-100 dollars. The price point is reflective of the quality of the products used and the time of service.

Eyelash extensions are a perfect alternative for a busy lifestyle. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you might find yourself taking time out of self-care to pour into other responsibilities. Lash extensions are extremely low maintenance and have a dramatic impact on your everyday makeup look. With lash extensions, you can cut your makeup routine in half and still have a gorgeous, finished look.

Extensions are also great for individuals who enjoy the “no makeup”, makeup look. Natural beauty has been trending and most of these looks are accompanied by lash extensions. Lash extensions add a touch of luxury to any natural makeup or bare face.

 

Exclusivity

A set of extensions is never like the next! One of the unique traits of eyelash extensions is they are personalized to the individual client’s face and eye shape. There are four types of lashes set styles that include classic, hybrid, volume, and mega volume. These styles range from a more natural look to a dramatic lash giving clients a variety of densities. The combination of shape, length, and style, makes every single set of lashes exclusive to that client. Eyelash extensions continue to evolve with the addition of colored lashes and decorative gems. There is so much you can do with your very own set! Visit Beauty Lounge for a fresh set today!
