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.

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.

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.

There’s no doubt – the fashion accessory of the past few years, and probably even this decade, is full, thick eyebrows. From eyebrow gel and pencils to tattoos and eyebrow extensions, the beauty industry has introduced us to a number of tools and methods to help women achieve that famous feathered look. While these options provide a temporary solution, they’re either not long-lasting or natural looking. Luckily, a new procedure called microblading can take your eyebrows from thin and shapeless to Cara Delevingne in just a couple of hours at your nearest eyebrow extension salon.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a tattoo technique that uses semi-permanent make-up to create a desired eyebrow shape. The process includes inserting pigment into the upper layers of skin by drawing on tiny lines that look just like individual hairs.  This eliminates the possibility of ending up with a “I-look-like-I-drew-my-eyebrows-on-with-a-Sharpie” look that traditionally tattooed eyebrows are known for.

Microblading is done with a hand-held tool that looks somewhat like a small utility knife made out of needles. Each needle puts pigment into the skin, but does not go as deep as a normal tattoo needle does – creating over a dozen individually drawn-on “hairs” at a time. The sound of several needles penetrating your skin may sound scary, but for most people the sensation varies from little scratches to plucking hair.  The result is full, thick, perfectly shaped eyebrows that look completely natural. And the best part? The eyebrows can last up to two years! Since they don’t smear or rub off, your brows will remain flawless through everything from a Bikram yoga class to swimming.

Where Can I Get Microblading in Dallas?

While it is a relatively newly introduced procedure here in the United States, brow enthusiasts all over the world have been using microblading over the past few years to get the perfectly shapen brows they’ve always wanted. Here in Dallas, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique offers microblading services in a glamorous and spa-like environment. Our technicians will spend an ample amount of time with you to explain the procedure and help you pick the best shape and thickness for your face and features. The entire process can take a few hours, but in our comfortable chairs, surrounded by aromatherapy, you won’t even notice the time passing by.

Not sure you’re ready to take the leap into microblading? Try one of our other services like eyebrow extensions, eyelash extensions, threading and waxing, or organic sunless tanning.

Natural-Looking, Low-Maintenance, and Always “On-Fleek”

While the cost of microblading is significantly greater than that of brow extensions and even traditionally tattooed brows, it’s certainly an investment when you consider the long-lasting effects of it. Many brow gels, pencils, and powders can cost a pretty penny over the span of a couple of years. And the ability to wake up and leave the house with gorgeous brows without spending a minute in front of the mirror is simply priceless.

No matter if your brows are thin, misshapen, or almost non-existent, the microblading services at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique can help you achieve the perfect, voluminous eyebrows you’ve always envied.

Halloween – the one night of the year when you can be anything you want to be. Whether it’s a superhero, cartoon character, furry animal, French maid, or celebrity, costumes can take weeks of planning, particularly if you are building your look from scratch. No matter what you dress up as this Halloween, adding a few small details can elevate your costume from ordinary party store to amazingly authentic. Adding lash highlights to your eyelash extensions provides an extra little touch with a huge impact.

What are eyelash extension highlights?

Highlighted eyelash extensions have the same purpose as hair highlights – to add dimension to an otherwise average look. Colored lashes, available at select lash extension salons, can either be one color or a combination of a few. They multiply the volume and beauty of your natural lashes just like natural-colored eye lash extensions. However, lash highlights add an extra boost of drama, excitement, and individuality to your look, as well.

Lash highlights are perfect for Halloween because they allow you to customize your lash line to match your outfit. Here are 5 costume ideas to wear trick-or-treating that would look great with colored lashes.

1. Pretty as a Peacock with Blue Lash Extensions

Replicate the elegance and pride of a peacock with bold colors of purple, blue, and green. Feathery blue volume lashes will pair perfectly with a fluffy skirt. Don’t forget to stop by a local craft store for some peacock feathers to glue onto your outfit.

2. Bumblebee Yellow

You’ll be Queen Bee with yellow colored lashes framing your eyes. Find a yellow and black striped skirt, or make your own no-sew tulle skirt with a few supplies from the craft store. Top with a plain black t-shirt and yellow and black accessories.

3. Sexy Pink Sugar Skull

Skulls have long been a universal symbol of Halloween. A sugar skull is just as festive, but a little more feminine. This costume is completely centered on the face. Start with a layer of white face paint all over the face. Then, use black liquid liner to color the tip of your nose, draw the lines around your mouth, and build a floral frame around your eyes. Then, use your favorite shade of pink lipstick to color in the flower petals around your eyes. As your eyes will be surrounded with black makeup, pink lash extensions will brighten them and keep them from getting lost in the darkness. Wear a large flower crown or flower pin in your hair to complete the look. 

4. Mystical Mermaid with Green Lashes

Make a splash with a fun and flirty mermaid costume that you can make in just a couple of hours! For this two piece costume, glue craft store seashells onto the bodice of a shape wear garment and green sequins onto a blue or green pencil skirt. Add a dash of magic to your look with green colored eyelash extensions.

 5. Electric Yellow Batgirl

Who said Dark Knight costumes were only for men? Pair a simple black t-shirt with a black skirt or leggings and dress up with a black cape and eye mask. Trace the bat symbol onto yellow poster board or construction paper, then cut out and pin onto your t-shirt. Gotham may not know your identity, but they will definitely remember your bright yellow lashes.

Colored eyelash extensions are a great way to make your costume stand out from the rest. Contact Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique today to learn more!
