What are Lamintation Brows Eyebrow lamination is a brand new semi-permanent grooming trend. The treatment works in a similar way to a lash lift, and is designed to open up your eyes. The process essentially involves straightening eyebrow hairs using a chemical solution, so that they all stand in the desired direction. The result is a bushier, more defined yet natural-looking brow with little to no maintenance. A tint can be added at the end to give the brow the fullest effect.
more infoThe treatment takes approximately 45 minutes. . Your eyebrows look instantly thicker. The aftercare is no water near the brows for 24 hours after the treatment. Lamination brows will last 6-8 weeks and can be topped up with a tint in-between treatments. You will receive an eco friendly bamboo spoole and some Aragon oil to keep your brows looking perfect everyday.

I have been meaning to do a post about this for some time now because there is just so much confusion regarding lash extensions!
If i had a pound for every time i heard “I had semi-permanent lashes applied but they have ruined my lashes” or “when I had Hollywood lashes done last time they only took 20 minutes, why do yours take so much longer?”. Unfortunately all the confusion means salons can be misleading in what they are offering which results in further confusion and often gives lash extensions a bad name. If you are a client of mine you will be aware I am obsessed with lashes and trained by the best lash trainers in the country at London Lash Pro . This post is by no means saying that I am the only place to get lashes or slating what other technicians are doing, I just know how difficult it is as a client to know what your actually getting and how to get the most out of your money. So here it is, my attempt at the definitive guide to lashes… Let’s start with the basics. Strip lashes: I am sure most of you will know about strip lashes and most have probably faced that Saturday night battle of trying to get them to stick without ruining the rest of your eye makeup in the process! If you’re not one of those talented few that can apply them perfectly every time (and believe me it is a talent!) many salons offer the chance to have them applied professionally, often including the lashes in the price. This means they should then last the full night without coming away at the corners. If you’re lucky you might even get them to last till the next morning, however that would mean admitting you didn’t take off your makeup when you got home so i don’t know if that is technically a bonus… Either way do not expect these lashes to last for a weekend or short holiday – and if they do i would be very concerned as to what glue was used! Cluster lashes / Party lashes: Like strip lashes cluster lashes can also be applied at home or in a salon and can be bought in places like Boots or professional salon stores. Instead of being on one long strip with these you use tweezers to drop each cluster on top of your lashes spreading them evenly along your lash line. In my opinion (and most other professionals) the only glue that should be used with these types of pre-made clusters is that which you would use for strip lashes (DUO glue for example). Many salons offer these with various types of semi-permanent glue but I believe these types of lashes are far too heavy & thick to keep on more than a few days and could therefore damage your own natural lashes as they start to grow, especially as the clusters sit on several of your lashes instead of one. This unfortunately is one of the biggest misconceptions when it come to Lashes with many Technicians advertising this type of lashes as “semi-permanent” or even “volume” lashes and suggesting they last 2 – 3 weeks. Express / Blink Individual Lashes: These are the quickest way to have semi-permanent lashes applied in a salon. If done properly these are non-damaging and can look great however it is not a treatment i offer. For this treatment individual lashes are applied on top of your natural lashes without isolating your own lashes first. This treatment only takes around 30 minutes for a set and should last up to 2 weeks however it is difficult to get as fuller look as with other types of semi-permanent lashes. Express lashes should not be infilled and instead should be professionally removed then reapplied if you want to keep them. Individual / 1:1/ Classic Semi-Permanent Lashes: These are the most common type of lash extension. Carrying out this treatment requires a considerable amount of training and practice so be sure to check your Therapist knows what they’re doing when choosing who to go to. So the idea behind these lashes is that only one lash is applied to each one of your own. They are not dropped on as with express, each lash is isolated then a new lash is applied on top. This means that as your natural lash grows out the false lash will grow with it and therefore not get tangled or damage your natural lashes. This also means that they can be infilled after the false lash falls off without building lashes up on top of each other. These lashes are usually 0.15mm or 0.20mm so slightly thicker than your natural lash and come in various curls, lengths and materials such as synthetic, mink or silk. I take between 1hr15 – 1hr 30 to do a new Full Set less than that and they are probably not being applied properly. The time varies too according to how many natural lashes you have. The idea is apply one false lash to every real lash so if you are very lucky and have lots of lashes you will be there for some time! I would expect these lashes to last anything between 2 – 4 weeks depending how quick your lashes grow and how well you look after them. I normally recommend an infill between 2 – 3 weeks. Russian / Volume / XD / 3D – 6D / Semi-Permanent Lashes. Russian Volume lashes, as they are most commonly known, are the latest trend in the world of eyelash extensions and it’s not difficult to see why! They manage to make lashes look super glam and volumous whilst still remaining natural and subtle. This look is achieved very similarly to individual lashes in the sense that the natural lash is first isolated, then where previously I would apply one lash, now i apply a small fan of anything between 2 to 7 lashes. This might sound like a lot however because the lashes that are used to make the fans are so fine (I use 0.07mm) the fans are actually more lightweight than one of the 0.20mm individual mentioned above. This means that again there is no damage to the lash and in my experience clients cannot feel the Russian Volume lashes at all when they are applied. It’s just like having your own lashes but lots more of them! It also means that these lashes can be infilled as they fall out. As an experienced Technician I will know how strong your natural lashes are and therefore adjust the amount of false lashes in the fans according.These fans are nothing like the pre-made cluster lashes that we mentioned previously in this post as they are handmade by using tweezers (and a very very steady hand!). Clients often ask me what the difference is with the Classic Individual and the Russian Volume and I would firstly say that the Russian style allows me to apply a more full volume-full set to clients who might have quite sparse lashes as they can apply more than 1 false lash to each lash. The finish is also much softer and fluffier and because they are so lightweight they look and feel much more like your own lashes and therefore generally last longer too. That being said, if you are lucky enough to have lots of lovely long natural lashes the Classic style may actually be more suited to you. Many clients also prefer to have a more false or dramatic look and again in that case Classic would be used. To conclude this mammoth post (if i havent lost you already!): lash extensions are amazing! However, as with many things in the beauty industry, there are Therapists out there who try to cut costs or time and end up damaging a treaments reputation. Provided you are have done your researchand if you’ve managed to read this whole post you probably know more than some Lash Techs at this point, then the only thing you need to worry about is how insanely addictive they are! If you have any more questions please feel free to leave a comment. Im not saying i know everything there is to know or what im saying is gospel, just merely offering advice for those trying to make sure they get the best value for money and don’t end up with ruined lashes!*one last thing! NO you cannot wear mascara with lash extensions! And yes, they are completely waterproof (including swimming, waterparks etc), just don’t rub them or pick them or put anything oily anywhere near them. Keep them clean to avoid infection and build up and it also keeps them looking their best. I do sell special lash cleaning brushes. Thanks Faye x When booking an appointment with me the best way to contact is by texting 07790038437. You can send an email but it takes me longer to reply as I have to check as I don’t get notifications. I will reply within a few hours but as I am so busy I have to respond when I’m between clients. You can also ask any questions about having lash extensions by using the same contact method.
No, this does not mean a Russian must apply the lashes.
Unless she is trained in the technique, of course. This style originated in Russia and Ukraine, hence the name. Volume lashing is the technique in which anywhere from 2-6 synthetic extensions are applied to each individual lash. This is up to a 6:1 ratio. Quite a difference! As a stylist I will create a fan, customized to you, in a variety of ways. Classic eyelash extensions are where one extension is applied individually to one natural lash.
This gives a classic lash set a 1:1 ratio. This style is the original method, and while still a very favored style in the market, it is lacking some strengths for certain individuals. This is why Russian Volume was created. WHICH TECHNIQUE IS BEST FOR YOU?
Classic lashes: If you want a natural look. If you want to look like you are wearing mascara. If you have naturally thick lashes. If you have a lot of natural lashes. If you have thick and long lashes. If you want a voluminous look, but you have thick, dense, long natural lashes. Volume lashes: If you have very sparse natural lashes. If you have very fine or weak natural lashes. If you want more volume to your lash look. If you used to wear strip lashes and enjoy the look of them. If you want more volume, even though your natural lashes are thick, dense, and long HOW DO I CLEAN EYELASH EXTENSIONS – STEP BY STEP
