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.

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.

5 Reasons Why Eyelash Extensions Are THE Accessory for the Holiday Season

Holiday season is finally upon us! Whether you’re decorating a Christmas tree, lighting a menorah, enjoying a Kwanzaa Karamu feast, or counting down for the New Year, the holidays are all about spending time with those you love.

As your calendar fills up with family dinners, parties, and other events, you’ve likely given some thought to your look for the season. Ruby red, emerald green, metallics, and sequins are all classic holiday wardrobe staples. No matter what your party ensembles look like, there’s one accessory that will go with every outfit – eyelash extensions. Here are 5 reasons why lash extensions are truly a must-have for the holiday season.

1. They Save Time

The holiday season is an extremely busy time. From decorating to shopping for gifts, entertaining, and party-going, you need every minute you can get. Lash extensions can help you get more out of your day but significantly shortening your morning beauty routine. Eyelash extensions add both length and volume to your lash line, eliminating the need for mascara and eyeliner – often the most time consuming parts of makeup application. Besides washing your face, brushing your teeth, and applying some moisturizer, you can jump right out of bed and start running your holiday errands, all while looking perfectly polished.

 2. They’re Long Lasting Lashes

Technically speaking, the holiday season is approximately 5 weeks long. It begins during Thanksgiving and ends on New Years Day with Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa in between. This means weeks of parties and gatherings that you’ll want to look your best for. Luckily, semi-permanent eyelash extensions can last up to 6 weeks, keeping you covered throughout the entire season.

3. They Help Save You Money

It’s no secret that full, dramatic eyelashes add glamor and beauty to one’s face. To get this effect, many women resort to using false lashes. Unlike eye lash extensions, most false lashes are disposable and can only be used once. This means that a new set of fake eyelashes would be required for every event or gathering. Hence, although they may seem less expensive than volume lashes, the collective cost of false lashes for all of your events can far exceed that of one set of eyelash extensions. Rather than spending a few dollars here and there for synthetic eyelashes, invest in one application of mink or volume lashes to save a bit of money.

4. They Look Great on Everyonelash extensions holidays

One of the most challenging parts of piecing together an outfit is finding items that have the right look and feel. With lash extensions, however, you can skip the stress of the dressing rooms and go straight to admiring how fabulous you look. No matter what your age, personal style, eye shape, or eye color, lash extensions are simply stunning on everyone. Not only do they add length and volume; they’re also incredible lightweight, giving the appearance and feel of natural lashes.

5. A Gift to Yourself

During the holiday season, we’re so focused on entertaining and purchasing gifts for others that we often forget about ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with a little indulgence, especially when it has all of the beautifying benefits and convenience that lash extensions do.

Want to add some glamour to your look this holiday season? Book an appointment with Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique today!

Here Comes the Bride: Getting Ready for Your Big Day in Dallas

If you are a bride-to-be, your upcoming wedding will undoubtedly be one of the best days of your life! With all of your family and friends in one place to celebrate your nuptials and pictures galore sure to ensue, you want to make sure you look your absolute best at all times and at every angle.

A lot of brides opt to have their hair and makeup done professionally for their big day, which usually includes false eyelashes. However, what many may not realize is that with falsies come concerns like if they will look natural or if they will slip off if you cry.

If you have any of these thoughts dancing in your head, it might be a good idea to forgo falsies and get lash extension installed instead for your big wedding day.

3 Reasons to Get Lash Extensions for Your Wedding Day

1) They Have Staying Power

With falsies, your lashes only last 24 hours, and sometimes, they don’t even last that long. When you choose lash extensions, you get a semi-permanent application that ensures that you will have beautiful lashes for your wedding day and beyond. Lash extensions that are professionally installed can last up to eight weeks if properly cared for. Because of this, you can even have them installed early if needed. This way, you look flawless for your other wedding festivities like your bachelorette party and bridal shower, too.

2) They Are Waterproof

Your wedding day will probably be emotional and full of happy tears. The last thing you want to worry about when you are saying your vows or during your first dance is whether or not your eyelashes will fall off if you tear up. With eyelash extensions, you don’t worry about ruining your eye look. Nor do you have to worry about retouching or re-gluing your lashes like you would with false eyelashes. And when the wedding and reception are done, you’re also already set for your honeymoon. In fact, with extensions, you can roll out of bed and not worry about mascara for added length and volume.

3) They Look More NaturalWedding Day Lash Extensions in Dallas

On your wedding day, you want to look like yourself, but just a bit more dolled up. When you look at your pictures and videos years down the road, you want your glam to be classic and not over the top. Therefore, it is best to go with a natural lash extension look for your big day.  With lash extensions, this is easy! Since the extensions are applied one lash at a time, you are able to work with your lash extension professional to choose a more natural, custom look. You can also specify the length, thickness, color and even design of your extensions that best fits your look.

All in all, when it comes to your wedding day, lash extensions are just better! And as the bride, you deserve the absolute best.

One-Stop Shop for Lash Extensions, Eyebrow Extensions, and Sunless Tanning

Product Review: Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum

These days, it seems like there are millions of beauty products available on the market. They promise to either enhance or beautify a certain feature, hide a common flaw, or fight aging. Unfortunately, sometimes these products do not deliver what they promise, leading us to try dozens of different types of products until we find one that actually gets the job done. However, with the Total Eye Repair Serum by Xtreme Lashes, you won’t need or want to try any other eye cream.

What is Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum?

Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum is the first and only anti-aging eye care treatment that is compatible with semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Its oil-free formula has revolutionized the beauty regimen of lash wearers around the globe. Not only does it contain innovative aging-reversing ingredients, it is also 100% safe to use on eyes with eye lash extensions. It is clinically proven to visibly firm, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of aging on the delicate skin on the eyelids and under the eyes. It is the key to more youthful looking eyes with both short-term and long-term benefits.

The Total Eye Repair Serum contains regenerative properties that help fight the signs of aging and maintain a youthful appearance.

Multi-peptide Complex

This helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by initiating the body to create more collagen, which is vital for elasticity and results in supple, firm skin. This innovative technology helps prevent collagen breakdown, which occurs naturally due to enzymes as a woman ages.

MicroLift Complex

Another concern of women seeking anti-aging beauty products is sagging skin. This is addressed with the serum’s MicroLift Complex, which visibly lifts and firms the eye area. When applied, its redensifying peptides penetrate deeper layers of the skin to actually restructure the look of sagging skin. It provides both instant and long-term benefits to the tone and texture of the delicate skin around the eyes.

Hyaluronic Sponge Delivery System

The serum’s formula utilizes microscopic hyaluronic acid sponges to penetrate age fighting ingredients into the skin. With a sustained release system, it continues to provide hydration throughout the day and night.

 

Does it Work?

According to an independent clinical study during which participants tried the product, 86% of them felt a significant improvement in skin firmness just after 6 hours. After routine use of the serum for 8 weeks,

  • 92% of participants noticed significant improvement in skin firmness
  • 89% of participants noticed significant improvement in skin smoothness
  • 86% of participants noticed significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • 81% of participants noticed reduce puffiness around the eyes

9 Differences Between Eyelash Extensions and False Lashes (Part 2)

Although they have the same function and cosmetic benefits, eyelash extensions and false lashes are very different when it comes to appearance, lasting power, and cost. Knowing the differences between the two can help you decide which technique is best for you, your lifestyle, and the overall look that you would like to achieve. Read on to find out more about the dissimilarities between falsies and lash extensions. (Continued from Part 1)

4. Maintenance

Fake eyelashes are a temporary solution for achieving a bold, voluminous lash line. Hence, they are not worn for a long enough time to require routine maintenance. However, if you would like to reuse your lashes more than once, be sure to keep them in a designated container away from any moisture.

Semi-permanent eyelash extensions, on the other hand, require more maintenance since they are worn for a much longer period of time. In fact, if you want to maximize the beauty and life of your eye lash extensions, proper maintenance is a must. Wearers of lash extensions should stay clear away from any cleansers or beauty products containing oil, as well as any applicators that could contain lint – such as cotton pads. This, in addition to the use of standard mascara and eye makeup, could cause your eyelashes to shed prematurely. Eyelash extension salons such as Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique offer many products that are safe to use with your extensions. Also, it is highly encouraged to apply Protective Coating, which is made specifically to seal your lashes and keep out debris while maintaining a healthy, natural-looking shine.

If you would like your eye lash extensions to last as long as possible – up to one year if properly maintained – it’s also important to revisit your eyelash extension salon every 2 – 3 weeks to refill any spaces and gaps that occur in between due to eyelashes falling out.

5. Lasting Powerlash extensions application

As mentioned previously, eyelash extensions can last up to one year if refilled every 4 to 6 weeks. False lashes do not last nearly as long, as even the reusable ones can only be used a few times.

6. Appearance

Lash extensions are designed to replicate the look, feel, and texture of natural eyelashes. Although they are technically artificial lashes, they are made from high quality materials like mink hair and are applied individually. Hence, when applied, mink lashes create a light and feathery appearance. Falsies, however, usually come attached to a single strip and are created from much lower quality materials, which cause them to look unnatural and obviously fake.

7. Durability

There is a very small chance that you will experience your eyelash extensions falling noticeably off your face. They shed normally with your natural lashes. However, fake eye lashes can fall off very easily. Since they are all connected to the same strip, if the adhesive comes loose in one area, they will either fall off or hang off of the eyelid.

8. Activityactivity while wearing mink lashes

With both lash extensions and false lashes, you can engage in all types of physical activity as the sweat will not affect them. However, as you wash your face afterwards, it is likely that falsies will fall off. Be sure to avoid drying your eye area when patting your face dry, and your volume lashes will not be harmed in any way.

9. Damage to Natural Lashes

Xtreme lashes and false lashes are both safe to wear on your eyelids. As long they are not tugged off, your natural lashes will remain intact even after the artificial ones are removed.

 

Lash extensions are a wonderful option for women wanting full, gorgeous lashes that look and feel natural, are simple to maintain, and keep you looking like a superstar from the moment you wake up through the rest of your day. Schedule an appointment with Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique today!

9 Differences between Eyelash Extensions and False Lashes (Part 1)

Eyelash Extensions vs. False Eyelashes

With so many different trends, practices, and products currently on the market, beauty enthusiasts have so many options when it comes to the ways they like to wear their makeup. However, almost all of them share one similar goal – to enhance their eyes with glamorous, full, bold, voluminous lashes. The two primary ways with which this can be achieved is by applying false eyelashes or lash extensions. Although they may seem to produce the same result, they are two very different products. From the way they feel to their overall appearance, each has its own characteristics. Here are 9 ways that fake lashes and eyelash extensions are different.

1. Application

False lashes are usually sold with a container of adhesive, and many include a strip of glue already applied to the back. To place on your eyelashes, simply apply the glue (if applicable) and place it directly on or slightly above your natural lash line. Although this requires a steady hand, it is easy enough for anyone to apply onto their own eyes in just a few minutes.

On the contrary, lash extensions must be applied by a professional at an eyelash extension salon, such as Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique. This is due to the difference in the product itself. Unlike the strip design of fake lashes, volume lashes are applied individually onto each existing eyelash. The entire application process can take up to two hours, which is a great time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the pampering.

2. Eyelash Extension Costfake eyelashes disposable

False lashes can be found at beauty stores, drug stores, and even supermarkets. They cost anywhere from $4 to $30, depending on the brand and where they are purchased from. However, they must be changed daily as sleeping with fake lashes can cause eye infections. Although some can be reused, the cheaper varieties can only be worn once, as they begin to look tattered after the first use.

Since they must be applied by a professional, eyelash extension costs are significantly greater than that of traditional fake eyelashes. In addition, these lashes are made from materials that are higher quality than falsies. For example, mink eyelash extensions are made from fine mink hair to give a beautifully natural look with maximum volume. This also contributes to a higher cost. However, with regular maintenance appointments and proper care, Xtreme lashes can last up to 1 year. That’s 365 days of long, luscious, fluffy, semi-permanent eyelashes. When you compare eyelash extension price to the total cost of wearing fake eye lashes for one year, lash extensions are actually a much more affordable option.

3. Weight

As mentioned previously, false eyelashes are made of low quality artificial fibers that are heavy. A strip of fake lashes laid flat on your eyelid disrupts the natural movement of the eyes. Eyelash extensions, however, are designed to be identical to human hair, both in appearance and weight. With feathery-light lashes, you’ll forget you’re wearing anything but the eyelashes you were born with – unlike fake eyelashes which weigh heavy on your eyelids.
