Time To Get “Done Up” For Summer

Admit it, sometimes during the winter months we let a few things go. Many of us are guilty of slacking a little on our beauty treatments during the cooler months.  Totally normal, but it is spring now, so it is time to get back on track, time to get “done up” for summer.

Wax On, Wax Off! Smooth Skin For Summer

Nothing accentuates shorts, or sundresses better than smooth skin.  Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique offers many waxing services to keep us feeling gorgeous. Everyone has their own look and needs, so Luxx Lash Salon offers waxing treatments for small areas like eyebrows and lips, to larger areas including chest, back and abdomen.  Waxing the legs and bikini area are a necessity this time of year, so we offer different waxing options to accommodate all of our clients. We guarantee a tranquil and comfortable environment, paired with customized techniques to make your waxing experience as painless as possible. You need to feel cared for in your spa experience, so Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique puts our clients’ needs above all else.

Get A Glow Without The Damage From Sunless Tanning

A summer glow of color makes us look and feel healthy.  We all know how damaging the sun can be to our skin.  Sunless tanning is the way to attain that summer radiance.  It is the healthier and safer way to “tan.”  At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique we will customize your color based on your skin, hair, and eyes, so that your color looks natural and compliments all of the other beautiful things about you.  The summer-you will be getting more compliments than ever before.

So what about your face? Getting a facial should be all about improving your skin and complexion. It is best in the summer to get a facial that nourishes and infuses your skin with antioxidants. You want to have skin that has a natural radiance, hopefully enough to get away with no makeup or simply a tinted moisturizer.  It is best to do your facial before you get your sunless tan.

Make Your Eyes Pop With Eyebrow Microblading And Lash Extensions

To compliment your glow, it is time to enhance your eyes.   No matter blue, brown, green or hazel, those beautiful eyes will look even more alluring if framed with full lashes and eyebrows.  Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique is the place to go to for your perfect eye look.  Your eyebrows frame your eyes, so you want them to look manicured and full. We offer eyebrow microblading and extensions.  Eyebrow extensions will give your look a fresh and youthful upgrade while microblading will give you natural looking brows that last up to two years. To get the full lash effect, we offer classic lashes or volume lashes which may allow you to leave your mascara in the drawer and go all the way with the no-makeup face for summer. Whatever service or services you choose for your summertime look, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique is ready to fulfill your wishes.

Mani Pedis To Top It Off

It is time to break out your favorite summer sandals. You can’t do that until you get your first pedicure of the summer.   Our feet have been in hibernation all winter, inside of warm socks, heavy boots or sturdy athletic shoes. If you have had a pedi over the winter, you may have those dark winter colors on your toenails, like burgundy or plum.  Now is the time to do a summer color. In 2012 Allure magazine suggested some “vibrant, sweet, sexy” colors for your pedi.   Go to your favorite salon to get your feet and toes summer ready with a fully pampering pedicure, then finish it off with a fun summery color on your toenails.

Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique Can Help You Get “Done Up” For Summer

The final touch to getting done-up for summer is what you wear.  Sundresses, light scarves, swimsuits, and shorts will keep you feeling cool and beautiful. The boutique at Luxx Lash has some wonderful items to choose from that will top off your summer wardrobe.

So whether you are looking to get your eyebrows microbladed or a get a quick sunless tan, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique can help you get “done up” for summer. Get in touch with us today and make your appointment!

After you finish getting done-up for summer, plan a date with your favorite person.  You will feel beautiful and that feeling will shine brighter than the summer sun.

Eyebrow Extensions 101 with The Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique

These days, thick and fabulous is the order of the day for popular lash and eyebrow trends. At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique we specialize in many areas of beauty like clothing and procedures that make your eyebrows and eyelashes “red carpet ready.” From microblading eyebrows to eyelash extensions, we understand how to give you the youthful look that you desire.

Your eyebrows are key features of your face and treating them as so is important. With our Revive-A-Brow extension method, you can have perfect, full eyebrows for your next big event. Here are some of the most popular questions when it comes to how our process works.

How Does the Eyebrow Extension Process Work?

The eyebrow extension process is generally pain-free and isn’t a huge time commitment for the customer.

Step 1: Threading the Brows

The first step in the process is really the only part that can be physically irritating. Threading or cleaning up the brow area is necessary before completing the final two steps. Keep in mind, an artist needs a clean canvas to perfect their craft.

Step 2: Brush Back the Brows

During this step, after the brows have been rubbed with an alcohol pad to remove bacteria and natural oils, the hairs are brushed back. Once this occurs, the primer is applied to prepare the hair for adhesive.

Step 3: Adhesive

The final step is where individual hairs are placed on the brow. The size of these hairs ranges between 5 and 8mm. Since each synthetic hair is placed one by one, much like eyelash extensions, this process takes a fair amount of time. Also, the time the process takes depends on how much brow that you need to be placed in the area.

This is a much different process than eyebrow microblading, which is more of a semi-permanent makeup job.

How Long Do They Last?Beautiful Eyebrows Luxx Lash

With proper aftercare, your eyebrow extensions can last up to 14 days. Some tips that we recommend in order to ensure that your extensions last to completion are:
• Do not wet them for 24 hours after application
• No oil-based products around the area
• Avoid touching the brows or rubbing the area
Oil loosens the glue that holds the air to your natural hair. Even the natural oils of your fingers can cause your eyebrow extensions to fail and fall out.

Levels That We Offer

Our Revive-A-Brow extensions help prevent eyebrow extension failure because our extensions are waterproof, sweatproof, and hypoallergenic. We offer 4 shades of eyebrows:
• Blonde
• Auburn
• Medium Brown
• Dark Brown

At Luxx Lash we offer four levels of our Revive-a-Brow service, with a free brow tint included within all of our sets.

Microblading 101

Women spend a good chunk of their life applying and removing makeup every day. One of the most common areas where makeup is utilized is the eyebrow. Take a look at our latest solution to eyebrow makeup: Microblading.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup. By definition, microblading is the technique of implanting pigment after the creation of fine incisions in the skin. Although this methods for eyebrow semi-permanent tattoos has been around for thousands of years, it is currently a trending fashion statement among women in Dallas, Texas.

Microblading is a great technique that women can use to drastically reduce their daily amount of time spent putting on makeup. The technique of microblading, or microstroking, is a great way to improve and/or create eyebrow definition, cover up gaps in eyebrow hair, extend eyebrows, or generally create a full reconstruction of eyebrows if a client’s brow has little to no hair.

After consulting with your microblading specialist, the treatment then begins with developing the desired shape of your eyebrows. After coming up with your desired eyebrow shape, you will then use the method of individual tattoo strokes applied in the desired area, in order to make the “feathers” in the area to plot shape and style required.

Is Microblading Safe?

Although the sheer thought of microblading can be seen as overwhelming to the average beauty customer. When the process is performed by a properly trained artist that knows how to use their tools, that is when the art and true safety of the process begin to shine.

There are at-home kits that people can get ahold of for microblading on their own, but it is highly recommended that people avoid these products and leave this particular beauty treatment to the professionals.

How Much Does Microblading Cost?

Microblading is definitely an investment that people make in themselves. Depending on the experience of your salon and the level of your work, microbladers can expect to spend as much as $1,000.  This may seem like a lot of money to some people, but for the many people that successfully utilize the beauty process, the outcome makes a big difference in their lives.

How Long Will My Microblade Eyebrows Last?

Microblading is not a permanent solution for your eyebrows. Prepare for touch-ups and returning to your salon every six months to a year. The length of time that your microblading lasts really depends on the amount of work done and how well you take care of them in the aftercare phase.

Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique Now Offers Microblading

If you want natural looking eyebrows but don’t have the time every morning to apply eyebrow makeup techniques, then microblading may be the route you should take with Luxx Lashes Salon & Boutique.

Extending the Life of Your Eyelash Extensions

It has been proven that women spend a good chunk of their lives doing makeup and putting extra attention into their eyelashes. This is a good and bad thing because there are so many other things that they could be doing during that time.

Many women have recently realized this theory and have begun to take part in the eyelash extension revolution. With eyelash extensions, life is just easier as far as makeup goes. However, these extensions don’t last forever and can be quite costly. Find out how you can extend the life of your next set of extensions.

The Big Do Nots

Instead of starting out with what you should be doing, we have decided to go over some of the major things to avoid while you are living with eyelash extensions. Your eyelash extensions are an investment towards your outer beauty and you don’t want any simple mistakes to mess up your look. Here are some of our tip things to avoid during the aftercare process of your lashes.

  1. Do not use oil-based cleaners or makeup removers
  2. Do not rub towels over your face when drying your face; remember to pat dry
  3. Be wary of the water pressure that hits your eyelashes in the shower
  4. Do not use wet-based mascaras on your lash extensions

Sleep on Your Back

The position that you sleep in is important because after your application, the glue on your lashes needs some time to dry completely and you want to avoid messing them up within the first two nights. We suggest that you sleep on your back so that your lashes can have plenty of opportunity to completely dry and keep your look lasting longer.

Be Prepared to Give Them Lots of Attention

Your eyelash extensions are a delicate part of your body now, so you need to be ready to give your lashes the attention that they need to last. One of the ways to take care of your lashes is to gently go over the area with a cleansing wipe and avoid using cotton pads and puffs. You don’t want to weaken your lashes and walk around town with cotton fibers stuck in your investment.

You will also want to regularly oil your extensions up to keep them flexible. All this takes is a small drop of baby oil. Using this method in conjunction with a spoolie want to comb them out is a great way to take care of your lashes for an extended period of time.

Do Not Play with your Eyelash Extensions

Keep your hands off of your extensions. Your eyelashes are going to she naturally, and this shedding will push your extensions out making them look off. Avoid twisting or pulling them off in order to prevent your natural lashes from being removed.

Best Microblading Aftercare Tips

You always want your brows to look their best, and that is why you have turned to an experienced specialist for the microblading method. Although microblading eyebrows is an easier to handle method, unlike eyebrow extensions, there are still some maintenance issues that arise with microblading aftercare.
Your new eyebrows are beautiful but came at a cost that ensures that you do not want to ruin them. Here are a few facts about the healing process and what to avoid the first few days into the microblading after-care period.

The Healing Process

The healing process of microblading is entirely dependent on your body’s regeneration, age, immune system, and overall lifestyle. The average healing process takes between 4-6 weeks depending on the circumstances of your body type.
Your brow will most likely itch or develop dry and flaky skin around the area. It is important to not pick or peel at these areas. Remember, that improper care of your brow often results in an early fade or patches of brow on the skin.
If any signs or symptoms develop please contact a physician. Some symptoms that mean the healing process is not working out include:
• Fever
• Redness at the site
• Swelling
• Tenderness of the site
• Elevated body temperature

What Not to Do During Mircoblading Aftercare Period

Wanting to make your eyebrows look their best is important, so the microblading eyebrows after-care period comes with quite a few things not to do while healing. Some of the top items on the list include:
• Practicing Sports
• Swimming
• Hot Baths
• Sun or Salon Tanning
• Drinking Alcohol in Excess
• Touching of the Eyebrow Area
One thing that we suggest when cleaning your face is to wash your face carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the treated area. While showering, keep your face away from the initial water stream or opt to simply take a bath.

What to Expect After Initial Microblading

After your initial recovery period, you may notice that your brows will appear to be lighter than they were during the initial process. Even with proper care, due to skin regeneration, customers may experience loose original hair strokes making the brows look uneven.
Remember, your regeneration process is not something that one of our technicians can control. This is why most of our customers tend to schedule a touch-up after a month out from their initial microblading session.

The Basics Of Waxing From Your Luxx Lash Waxing Service Experts

 

In the last several years, waxing has become a more common and popular practice offered at salons and spas. All types of areas are offered, from underarms to upper lip to arms and legs, many people choose professional waxing for the longer-lasting hair removal it provides, without going through the pain and hassle themselves.

Whether you are a waxing veteran and come in for monthly wax sessions, or a newcomer who just wants to break away from the hassle of shaving, Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique offers premiere waxing services for everything from lips to a Brazilian. Here are some expert tips to get you prepared for your wax, as well as what to expect – even if you’ve had the procedure before.

When Should You Get A Waxing Service?

Waxing is recommended for people of all ages and genders. Many people begin undergoing wax treatments at a young age, when the hair is fine and will be less painful to remove. Waxing is beneficial as it removes hair directly from the root, as opposed to trimming or shaving, which leaves behind that “shadow” with the hair follicle still below the skin.

As an added bonus? Hair grows back thinner!  Waxing lasts up to a month in most places and will stay away even longer with proper exfoliation and care afterward. Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique offers premiere waxing services to get rid of those little pesky hairs from your chest, abdomen, full back and extended bikini.

What to Expect During a Waxing Session

First, your wax specialist will clean and disinfect the area. Then, they will apply the wax and remove small areas of hair at a time. There are two different types of wax services for certain part of the body. Soft wax is done with paper or muslin strips, and is used on larger areas of the body such as the leg or armpit. Hard wax is used to remove hair in the bikini, underarm and face area. Afterwards, they’ll remove any wax residue and apply cream.

If you’ve shaven recently, wait five days. And though the time does vary between waxes, depending on how quickly or coarsely the hair grows back, it’s best to wait around a month to get re-waxed. In case of emergency, such as seeing a new boyfriend or a vacation, scheduling an appointment within three weeks is no problem.

Eyelash Extensions Done Right, The Luxx Lash Way

Whether you are going out for a night on the town, or need eyelash extensions for that special date night, applying false lashes that have the risk of falling out or ripping out your natural eyelashes is commonly dreaded by many women. It’s no surprise that lash extensions have become increasingly popular in recent years.

With the help of our lash extension technicians at Luxx Lash, you are guaranteed to get the flutter that you see on celebrities, without the hassle of glue and reapplying on a daily basis. 

What Are The Most Common Type Of Lash Extensions?

Our classic sets utilize single strand Xtreme Lashes, which are attached one-by-one to your own natural lashes. There are three commonly applied eyelash extensions: synthetic, silk and mink.

  • bad-lash-extensionsSynthetic: The most common false eyelashes on the market are made from synthetic materials, typically plastic fibers, and are thicker than the typical human lashes with stubbier ends. Synthetic eyelashes tend to be the less expensive of lash extensions – making them the perfect addition for a vacation, night out, or celebration (wedding, anniversary, etc.)
  • Silk: The finest and more flexible of the options, silk extensions come in variety of curls and lengths. Silk lashes tend to be thicker than any other type of extensions, and also have that rich black color; however, they tend to be the least comfortable type of extension and are best used for special occasions.
  • Mink: With Mink extensions you’ll get a light, fluffy, soft natural look. The extensions usually last longer because they are so light as well as being able to apply several mink extensions per natural lash. The biggest downside to mink lash extensions is the price: they are generally higher-priced, and do not come curled. Mink lash extensions require a perm or lash curler to keep them curled.

Keeping Lash Extensions Clean

When wearing lash extensions, it can be tempting to scale back on your cleansing routine. After all, the less your eyes come in contact with soap and water, the longer they’ll stick around. Luxx Lash recommends using a gentle cleanser, such as diluted baby shampoo, to keep your lashes healthy and long-lasting for weeks. Touch-ups are generally required every 2-3 weeks for prolonged use and care. Having the extensions removed is as easy as having them put on–painless and relatively quick. However, you can also wait for them to shed naturally along with your natural eyelashes.

Your Regular Makeup Routine

If you are planning to wear mascara in addition to the extensions, only use it on the tips of the extensions and with a very light hand. This will be enough to give your eyes that “pop” along with the extensions. Using mascara at the base of the extensions will get very clumpy and have them appear fake looking. Only liquid-based eye products can be damaging to the extensions, but you can get away with a tiny wing of liquid liner as long as you’re not dragging it along the lash line. There are many eyelash extension-safe makeup products available for those who want to be extra safe.

What is the Difference Between Microblading and Eyebrow Extensions?

It’s no secret that full, thick eyebrows have made a comeback in the past few years. Celebrities like Cara Delevingne, the Kardashians, Lily Collins, and Demi Lovato have inspired and continued to fuel the trend with their gorgeous brows. For those who aren’t naturally blessed with dark and feathery frames or are still recovering from the super thin brow trend of the 90s and 2000s, there are several beauty products and procedures that promise the same look. However, not all products and procedures are equal.

Eyebrow extensions and microblading are the most popular beauty procedures for fuller brows, as they offer the most natural-looking results and are the most long-lasting. But what is the difference between the two? As experts in both procedures, your friends at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique have the answer.

Application of Brow Extensions vs Microblading

One of the biggest differences between microblading and eyebrow extensions is the application process itself. After all, they are two completely different procedures.

With eyebrow extensions, tiny, individual hairs are applied to the existing browline with a special adhesive. The shape of the brow can be customized – however, to get the best results – it is best for there to be an existing eyebrow to build upon, as the adhesive sticks better to hair than skin.

Microblading, on the other hand, requires no previous brow hairs at all. Rather than using hair to extend the shape of the brow, microblading draws tiny, hair-like lines directly onto the skin with a tool similar to a small tattoo pen. Drawing tiny hairs rather than the entire brow at once creates a surprisingly natural look, and prevents them from looking like they were drawn-on with a thick black marker. This makes microblading a great option for women undergoing cancer treatments or those who have little to no brows naturally.

How Long do Eyebrow Extensions and Microblading Last?

Eyebrow extensions can last anywhere from 10 to 24 days – perfect for a vacation, holiday season, or any other special events. Maintenance plays a heavy role in exactly how long they last. Avoiding oil-based cleansers and makeup removal products, friction from towels or pillows, and excessive exposure to water can help extend their life as long as possible. Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique offers Re-Brow Sets to keep your brows in tip-top shape while you have them.

With much less maintenance requirements, brows created by microblading last 4 to 6 weeks! Since they are essentially semi-permanent tattoos, they are more practical for long-term use. Touch ups can be done every 4 to 6 weeks to keep them looking flawlessly full and feathery.

Cost

Now that you know a bit about the differences between the procedures, maintenance, and longevity of eyebrow extensions versus microblading, it is safe to assume that one procedure costs a little more than the other. At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, eyebrow extensions start at $149 for initial application and can go up to $449 depending on the thickness and shape you desire. Re-Brow Sets, required for maintenance if you wish to keep them for longer than their average 10-24 day life, start at $55.

The initial cost of microblading is $450 regardless of shape or thickness, and maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks is $100. While it may seem like microblading costs a bit more than eyebrow extensions, depending on how often you maintain them and want them to last, they often end up costing the same at the end of the day.

3 Beauty Resolutions for a Flawless 2017

It’s that time of year again – the season of twinkly lights, egg nog, gift giving, ugly holiday sweaters, and hope for a wonderful new year.

The new year comes with an exciting opportunity to start over – to become a better you. If you’ve given any consideration to the new year, your list of resolutions may include better health, career success, or getting organized. One of the key ingredients to achieving any life goal is confidence in one’s self – and what better way to build confidence than feeling great about how you look?

Here are 3 beauty resolutions for a flawless and successful 2017.

1. Exquisite Eyebrows

It seems like we’ve been hearing about thick, make-a-statement eyebrows for a few years now, and there’s no sign of the beauty trend dying down anytime soon. While some women are blessed with naturally full eyebrows, many feel they are unable to achieve get their “eyebrows on fleek” due to over-plucking or scarce eyebrow hair. Luckily, the beauty industry has gifted us with two different procedures that can create perfect, shapely brows that are not only trendy, but look extremely natural.

Microblading creates your ideal brows by tattooing small, hair-like strokes to mimic natural eyebrow hairs. It is semi-permanent and waterproof, which allows it to last for months at a time before requiring a touch up. Eyelash extensions, on the other hand, is the application of small hairs to the natural brow, adding fullness and thickness while creating a more desirable shape. Both services result in natural-looking, beautiful brows that will boost your confidence and give you the look you need to take over that list of resolutions.

2. Lucious Lashes

One of the biggest staples in every woman’s makeup bag is mascara. There is something about dark, voluminous eyelashes that makes us apply messy black goo to them day in and day out. But what if you could ditch the mess and wake up every morning with bold eyelashes that make your heart (and eyes) flutter? Eyelash extensions make this possible. Classic and volume eyelash extensions are applied onto your natural lashline for added length and fullness. Because they are so dark, they also relieve you of the need for any eyeliner at all. This means less time in front of the mirror and less money spent on beauty products. So, not only will eyelash extensions completely amplify your look, they’ll also free up the time and money you need to help you meet your goals in the new year.

3. Sun-Kissed Skin

It’s hard to think about maintaining a golden, glowy tan when we’re all covered up for the winter. However, unless tanning at Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique allows you to have that summer-look all year long. Not only is it a completely safe alternative to tanning beds that emit harmful UV rays, it is customizable to ensure that it looks completely natural every time. Our spray tan products are organic and completely safe to be applied on the skin – allowing you to achieve your “better health” AND “better appearance” goals at the same time.

Everything You Need to Know About Our Eyelash Extension Adhesive

It’s no secret – eyelash extensions are an amazingly effective solution to achieving the luscious, full, and feathery lash line you’ve always wanted. However, in order to enjoy great results, it’s important to consider every aspect of the entire lash extension procedure. One of the key components of every application is the adhesive used to attach individual lashes to the eyelid. Here is everything you need to know about the eyelash extension adhesives we use.

Lash Extension Adhesive at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique

Unfortunately, many salons use low-grade adhesives that not only result in unnatural-looking lashes, but could also pose serious risks of harm to your eyes.  At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, we are dedicated to serving our clients with the highest quality products in the world. This extends to the eyelash extension department. We are proud to use products from Xtreme Lashes® Extensions, one of the global leaders in the beauty industry, at every step of the procedure – from adhesive to individual lashes.

Xtreme Lashes®  Eyelash Extensions adhesive are designed specifically to meet the highest standards for strength, drying speed, flexibility, quality, and above all – safety. One of the most unique aspects of all of their adhesives is that the primary ingredient is used for suture-less wound closure in hospital emergency and operating rooms! This makes it very effective and completely safe to use around the eyes.

At Luxx Lash, we use two different types of Xtreme Lashes®  Eyelash Extensions adhesive:  FlexFusion®  and HP-Ultra®.  FlexFusion is a hypoallergenic, medical-grade adhesive that delivers fast application, flexible and long-lasting adhesion, and is perfect for clients with sensitive eyes or those who wear contact lenses. HP-Ultra® is formulated for the fastest attachment speed without compromising safety or dependable adhesion performance.

Do Lash Extension Adhesives Contain Formaldehyde?

bad-lash-extensionsOne of the biggest concerns of our clients and many people considering eyelash extensions is the Formaldehyde content in the adhesives used by a salon. Formaldehyde is NOT an added ingredient in any Xtreme Lashes® Adhesives, as they are
formulated using the same properties and ingredients found
in medical grade adhesives.

That being said, completely “Formaldehyde Free” cyanoaryclates does not exist. Ultra low amounts of formaldehyde naturally occurs as the adhesive degrades overtime. The formaldehyde inXtreme Lashes® Adhesives has not been measurable as it is below the lowest detectable level of lab tests(HPLC/UV) that measure formaldehyde.

Understanding Formaldehyde Content

formaldehyde-content-chart-2014Formaldehyde fumes, in trace amounts, do not pose any health risks.
In fact, Formaldehyde is found in much higher concentration in numerous household products that we use everyday, such as Gerber Baby Wash, Elmer’s Glue, wooden Furniture and flooring, carpets,
clothing fabric, gas stoves, and drapery. Formaldehyde is even found
naturally within the human body.

Eyelash Extensions: Safety First!

Whether you’re considering eyelash extensions for the first-time or are a regular client, it’s important to feel 100% comfortable with every part of the procedure. At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, you can rest assured knowing that our medical-grade adhesives are the absolute best available in the industry. We are firm believers that “the eyes are the gateway to the soul”, and that they should be treated with utmost respect, care, and attention.
