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.

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.

Lash Out at Breast Cancer with Pink Eyelash Extensions

Every October, people all over the world celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month. The purpose of this month is to bring attention to a very common and life-threatening disease that enters the lives of more than 200,000 women each year and claims the lives of over 40,000. However, over the years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been transformed into a celebration of the strength and bravery of women who are fighting or have fought breast cancer. One of the most universal and recognizable ways that people show their solidarity is to wear the color pink. While the month of October is coming to a close, with Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique’s pink eyelash extension highlights by Xtreme Lashes, you can wear your support for breast cancer on your lash line all year long.

 

 

The History of Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

If you had a dollar for every time you saw the color pink on a person or product in October, you’d be a millionaire by the end of the month. But how did pink become the official symbol for breast cancer awareness? According to the Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education, the first uses of pink date all the way back to the 19th century. During this time, many women wore yellow ribbons to honor their fathers, brothers, and husbands serving in the military. The hit song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” by Dawn reemphasized this practice, and families began tying yellow ribbons around trees as a tribute to loved ones held in the Iran hostage crisis.

The idea of wearing a colored ribbon to show support and solidarity spread over the years. Red ribbons were popular in the 80s and 90s to support AIDS awareness, and other causes and charities began adapting the concept to make it their own. In 1992, Alexandra Penney and Evelyn Lauder (the editor-in-chief of Self Magazine and breast cancer survivor and VP of Estée Lauder, respectively) joined forces to invent a pink ribbon. With 1.5 million pink ribbons, a breast self-exam card, and a petition to the White House to increase funding for breast cancer research, breast cancer awareness was born at Estee Lauder makeup counters all across the U.S. 20 years later, the color is still used as a symbol for health, life, and the empowerment of women.

 

 

breast cancer awareness lash extensionsWhy Breast Cancer Awareness Matters to Luxx Lash

Working in the beauty industry, the majority of our clients are women. Our company’s mission is to use our services to empower Dallas women of various backgrounds and age groups, and we pride ourselves on doing so every single day. We work to express our belief that every woman should feel strong, confident, and beautiful on the inside and out. According to BreastCancer.org, 1 in 8 American women will develop an invasive form of breast cancer during her lifetime and 40,290 women are expected to die this year. Reading these statistics, we don’t just see numbers. We see daughters, mothers, wives, sisters, and grandmothers who are loved. We see our clients. And we see the need for a cure.

Throughout the month of October, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique has contributed 10% of all proceeds from lash highlight services to Susan G. Komen. By doing so, we hope to support the hunt for a cure while educating our clients about breast health.

 

About Lash Highlights: Eyelash Extensions with a Flare of Color

You can choose from a variety of colors, including pink, yellow, blue, and green, and combine different shades for a unique look that will make your eyes pop.

With pink lash extensions that last 3 to 4 weeks, you can rock pink eyelashes to support breast cancer awareness all year long. They are a great conversation starter and support an amazing cause!

Questions You May Have About Volume Lashes

Over the past few years, volume lashes have taken the world by storm. And now, they are easily accessible. Now, with volume lashes, you no longer have to be a celebrity to enjoy the perks of having full lashes without the mascara.

Also known as Russian Volume Lashes or 3D lashes, volume lashes are more than just regular extensions. Installing these lashes allow you to transform and enhance your natural lashes for longer than classic extensions would do.

 

Top 5 Questions About Volume Lashes

Whether you want an exaggerated look or one that is more natural, volume lash extensions make this possible. They’re absolutely beautiful and effective. However, before you head to your local lash salon, you may have some questions about volume lashes. So today, we’re answering them.

 

How Are Volume Lashes Installed?

Volume lashes require intricate detailing when being installed. Volume lashes are applied to each of your individual natural lashes using super thin and fluffy extensions. Depending on how thick you want your natural lashes to be will determine whether you get one or more of these thin lashes attached to your natural lashes with adhesive.

 

So, Are Volume Lashes Damaging to My Natural Lashes?

No. Contrary to popular belief volume lashes actually require far less adhesive to install. Reason being is that each extension is lightweight and requires less adhesive to stick to each lash. Since they are customizable, our trained professionals know and understand what each lash can handle as far as weight. In fact, volume lashes have been known to help grow out a person’s natural lash since they no longer have to use drying mascara for added length and volume.

 

How Long Do Volume Lashes Last?

With proper care and maintenance, volume lash extensions or 3D lashes can last from 4 to 8 weeks.

 

How Do I Care for Volume Lashes?

Upon getting your volume lash extensions, it is important that you try to avoid direct water for at least 24 hours. However, after that, you can pretty much treat them like your own natural lashes. You can use mascara, where eye makeup, and even curl them if you want. To keep them in tip-top shape, we do recommend that you maintain them by getting them refilled or relashed as often as your lash professional suggests.

 

Why are Volume Lashes Higher?

Since they do require such intricate detail and the experience of a professional, volume lashes are a bit more expensive than classic extensions. However, it is important to remember that you are getting a higher-quality product that looks and feels like the better version of your natural lashes.

Why a Sunless Tan is the Best Kind of Tan

It’s summer which means the sun is getting brighter, the days are growing longer, and the hemlines getting shorter. And the perfect companion for those short shorts and sundresses is a gorgeous, bronze tan. To achieve the healthy glow in the past, you would have to sit in the sun or bake in a tanning bed. However, those options come with so many negatives effects like sunburns, wrinkles, and skin cancer. That is why sunless tanning is so effective, efficient, and just plain better.

What is Sunless Tanning?

Sunless tanning is just as it’s worded; it is tanning that is done without natural or artificial sun. Also commonly referred to as self-tanning or spray tanning, sunless tanning works by applying a tanning solution or spray to your skin to produce a darker, glowing look. With the much advancement in today’s tanning technology, sunless tanning gives the same beautiful effect that you would get tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed.

The Many Positives of a Sunless Tanning

Sunless tanning has many, many benefits. To find out what they are, keep reading.

Benefit #1: Minimizes the Risk of Skin Cancer

As stated above, one of the major advantages is decreasing the risk of skin cancer that is typically associated with tanning in the sun or artificial sun. Although anyone can get skin cancer from daily exposure to the sun without the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, these risks are significantly increased when you use traditional tanning.

Benefit #2: Instant Gratification

Nowadays, instant gratification is demanded of everything and the same goes for you tanning. With traditional tanning, depending on your natural skin color, it could take several sessions to achieve the depth of color you may want. With sunless tanning, you can build upon your tan in one session.

Benefit #3: Decreases Aging and Wrinkles

Another negative impact that traditional tanning has is increasing the aging of your skin. Just how the sun causes skin cancer, the sun can dry out your skin causing it to wrinkle and get age spots. Since there is no sun involved with sunless tanning, you eliminate all of these disadvantages giving you the best of both worlds.

Are you ready to ditch your ancient ways to get glowing skin? Try our natural and organic sunless tanning today at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique.

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.

From Eyebrow Extensions to Tweezers: The Guide to Perfect Eyebrows

If there’s one beauty trend that defined the year 2015, it’s “eyebrows on fleek”. Perfectly shaped brows have become more than just good grooming – they’re a must-have fashion accessory. With hundreds of video tutorials and Pinterest manuals on how to get the perfect brows, we don’t see this trend going anywhere anytime soon. From eyebrow extensions to tweezers, here are a few tips to help your brows reach their full “fleekness” potential.

 

Find an Eyebrow Threading Artist You Love

The internet is full of them – horror stories of eyebrow waxing and threading. Unfortunately, many people fall victim to inexperienced, and even unqualified, eyebrow artists that damage the shape of their brows. If you are new to eyebrow threading or are looking for a more seasoned artist, find a beauty salon that specializes in eyebrows rather than one that includes eyebrow threading on a menu along with 100 other services. Rather than just hiring anyone who threads eyebrows, these salons recruit only those who are masters of the art of eyebrow shaping. Once you find an artist you trust, don’t let them go!

 

Invest in a Good Set of Tweezers

Most people visit the eyebrow salon at least once a month to maintain their shape. However, depending on your hair growth rate, you may need to keep a set of tweezers in your makeup bag to keep them well-groomed in between. You can find good tweezers anywhere from drug stores to high end makeup counters. No matter what brand you choose, make sure that it feels comfortable in your hands.

The best time to tweeze your brows is right after a shower, when your pores are open and relaxed. Do your best to stay as far away from the shape as possible. Only pluck the hairs that are a safe distance away. A magnifying mirror and good lighting can help you get a closer look and nip any stray hairs right out of the bud. If you fear you might go a little tweezer-happy with your brows, solicit the help of a friend.

 

eyebrow pencil and eyelash extensions for perfect browsFill Them in (Naturally)

Sharpie eyebrows belong back in the 90’s, not on your face. While filling in your eyebrows with makeup can create a beautiful, bold look, you don’t want to overdo it to the point where it looks unnatural. Instead, use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder on an angled brush a shade or two lighter than your natural hair color. Apply the powder or liner in strokes, following the existing shape of your brows. Remember, you don’t want to recreate the shape, but rather emphasize it. When you’re done, lightly brush a highlighting product directly beneath the brows to further enhance the arch and shape.

 

Try Eyebrow Extensions

For those of us not naturally blessed with full, thick, dark eyebrows like the Kardashians and Cara Delevingne, flawless brows are still possible. Eyebrow extensions are a safe, effective way to achieve a perfectly beautiful shape. Unlike eyelash extensions, which can only be applied to existing natural eyelashes, brow extensions can be applied directly to the skin with a special skin glue, even in areas where no hair is present. This allows unlimited potential for eyebrow shaping, and makes it a great option for women who have gone through chemotherapy or suffer alopecia.

 

Statement brows do more than just add beauty, glamour, and youthfulness to one’s appearance – they also provide a huge boost of confidence, allowing your inner beauty to shine, as well. Contact Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique to schedule an appointment and get the eyebrows of your dreams!
