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.

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!

The Bride’s Guide to Beauty Wedding Prep

When planning a wedding, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with your many tasks. From picking a venue to securing the décor, as a bride, you have a massive number of things to handle before your big day. However, it is very important that you think about yourself during the planning process as well.

Your wedding day will undoubtedly be one of the most special events of your life, and with so many cameras around, you need to look beautiful. From your eyebrows down to your toes, there are a plethora of things you need to tackle during the month leading up to your walk down the aisle.

 

Month of Wedding Beauty Checklist

Are you a month from becoming a “Mrs”? Check out this list of beauty tasks you need to complete before your big day.

Makeup Trial

On your wedding day, your makeup can make or break your bridal look. And if you are someone who doesn’t frequently wear makeup or get it done professionally, it can be a bit tough to figure which look suits you best. Because of this, it is a good idea to choose a makeup artist and do a makeup trial the month leading up to your wedding day. This allows you and the artist to create something that you are comfortable with now and will be comfortable with in the future. Also, be sure to take pictures so the makeup artist can recreate the look with ease on your big day. This can also help cut down on the time it will take to get your makeup done the day of as well.

Eyelash Extensions

If you are considering getting eyelash extensions, now is the perfect time to get them installed. Whether you decide to get classic lash extensions or specialty volume lashes for an exceptionally natural look, booking your appointment a few weeks before your wedding day is best. By doing this task earlier on, you can get a better feel for your lashes and make modifications over time to create the perfect lash look.

Waxingwedding day prep-waxing

From your legs to your arms to your bikini area, hair removal is something that is probably high on your wedding day prep list. To help you keep the hair away longer, you should consider waxing these areas. However, don’t wait until the last minute to do so.

Waxing can cause redness in some areas, so to avoid blotchy skin on your wedding day, make your waxing appointment at least 2 weeks beforehand.

Eyebrow Maintenance

Your eyebrows serve as a major focal point for your face, therefore, they are very important. To ensure your brows are on point for your walk down the aisle, book your brow appointment with a brow expert for an eyebrow threading session.

If you have eyebrows that need a little TLC, eyebrow extensions are something you should look into. Eyebrow extensions work by literally adding in individual hairs to create a fuller brow. And for a brow transformation, they’re well worth it!

Tanning Session

In your wedding dress, you want to look flawless and that includes glowing skin! So, instead of hitting the tanning beds or baking in the sun, a great way to get a sun-kissed look without the sunburn is sunless tanning. Sunless tanning sessions are customizable so you can get a natural looking color that won’t make you cringe when you look back at your wedding photos years down the road.

To prevent yourself from having any mishaps, book your sunless tanning sessions out over the month of your wedding to ensure you have the perfect glow.

Mani and Pedi

Your hands will get some major play on your wedding day, especially your ring finger. That is why it is important that you have an immaculate manicure and pedicure. While this is a beauty task you probably do often already, your wedding day mani and pedi need to be extra special. While this task can be put off until the week or even a few days before your wedding, you still need to put in some effort by adding it to your list and checking it off.

Wedding Prep Services from Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique

The closer it gets to your wedding day, the busier you will become. However, with this list in hand, you will be able to tackle these wedding day beauty tasks with ease.

If you are ready to get started on your list, contact Luxx Lash to book your appointment. Lash extensions, sunless, eyebrow waxing, and eyebrow extensions… we do them all!

7 Beauty Trends to Look Forward to in 2016

In addition to the opportunity for a new beginning, hope, adventure, and  excitement, a new year opens doors to new beauty and fashion trends. While some trends are reincarnated from the past, many are completely new ideas. Here are 7 of the hottest beauty trends to follow in 2016 for a fabulous new year.

 

  1. Sparkly Eyelids

Whether you’re looking for a subtle way to add a little extra glamour to an evening look or wanting to dress it up for a special event, glittery eyelids are a trendy way to amp up your look. To get the look, use loose glitter powder, sparkly eyeshadows, or glittery eye pencils. Begin experimenting with common metallic colors, such as gold and silver, and work your way into more bold options such as blue, green, and purple. If you wear eyelash extensions, be sure to stick to products that are safe to avoid lash extensions falling out prematurely.

 

  1. Brushed-Up Eyebrows

While 2015 was all about “brows on fleek”, natural, brushed-up eyebrows are what’s hot this year. Rather than focusing on a deep arch and precise drawn in shape, give your brows room to grow for a more feathery look. Use an eyebrow brush to comb your brows up and add some extra fluff. If you have sparse or overly plucked eyebrows, eyebrow extensions are a safe, natural-looking way to add some oomph to your look.

 

  1. red lipstick beauty trend 2016Bold Yet Classic Lip Colors

Many crazy colored lipsticks filled makeup counters last year, including everything from white to cobalt blue. The boldness factor will carry into 2016, but with a more classic twist. Colors like deep pinks, reds, brown, and nudes are making a comeback. Also, forget the Kylie Jenner lip challenge because this year is all about embracing what you have. You can use lip liner, lipstick, or gloss, stay true to your natural lip line to avoid an unnatural look.

 

  1.  Glowing Skin

A sunkissed glow is always in style, and it will continue to be in 2016. In addition to sunless tanning, use a touch of makeup to put the spotlight on your best features. Pat clear lip gloss on your cheekbones, nose, and your eyelids for a subtle sheen that will make you look like you’re always in the perfect lighting. Think strobing, but less dramatic.

 

  1. Short Nails

Many of the beauty trends in 2016 are toned down versions of our favorite trends in previous years. In the nail department, for example, crazy nail art will still be very much in style this year. However, long coffin nails, stiletto nails, and bubble nails are long gone. Keep your nails at a shorter, more natural shape. However, don’t hold back from your favorite nail art trends, like matte polish, and out-of-the-box french tips.

 

  1. Modern Short Hairmedium bob hair trends 2016

Many celebrities have already begun chopping their locks for this trend. A long bob is extremely chic that is still lengthy enough to style and color. It’s also much easier to maintain, which is always a big plus in the hair and beauty department.

 

  1. Glamorous Lashes

Voluminous lashes had their big moment in 2015 and will continue to be on the beauty scene this year. Use lengthening mascaras to amplify your lash line or invest in semi-permanent lash extensions for thick, beautiful eyelashes that will last for weeks at a time.


No matter if you rock glittery lids, subtle strobing, lash extensions or all of the above in 2016, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique wishes you a fabulous new year!

5 Celebrities Who Proudly Wear Eyelash Extensions

Over the past few years, eyelash extensions have become one of the hottest beauty trends. Local lash extension salons like Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique bring the biggest names in false lashes to the public at a price that doesn’t break the bank. However, it wasn’t long ago that volume lashes were only available to the elite. A-list celebrities were among the first to experiment with the feathery, luscious, lightweight lashes, and many of them are eye lash extension clients to this day. Although many celebrities make a point not to share their beauty secrets, there are some who proudly rave about their favorite products. Here are 5 celebrities who have openly professed their love for semi-permanent eyelash extensions.

 

1. Jennifer Lopez

One of the first celebrities to spill the beans on the secret to longer, thicker, natural-looking lashes was Jennifer Lopez. She debuted her long eyelashes, paired with a sheer-topped, champagne-colored Chanel gown, back in 2001 at the Academy Awards. She has since spoken about her love for eyelash extensions on several occasions, and says she prefers wearing mink lashes as they mimic the weight and feel of her natural lashes. She even likes her backup dancers to stay all lashed up and requests that their makeup artists use Xtreme lashes.

2. Kim Kardashian

You can see Kim Kardashian bat her long and glamorous eyelashes from a mile away. However, she does not like the unnatural look that traditional false lashes have. So what’s the secret, you ask? Volume lashes! Since they’re applied individually to each natural eyelash, they add extreme volume to her lash line without making them look too overdone, creating the signature look the reality star is known for.

 

 Kylie Jenner Lashes3. Kylie Jenner

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner family and long, sexy eyelashes. Kylie Jenner in particular has become a trendsetter in her own right, both in fashion and beauty. In addition to her plump lips, Kylie’s everyday look includes feathery lashes. She recently posted a photo on Instagram with a caption saying “Yes, I have eyelash extensions”.

4. Beyonce

Queen Bey always looks impeccable – whether it’s on the red carpet or off. The singer exclaims, “I woke up like this”, but does she also wake up with those amazing eyelashes? According to her makeup artist, Wei Lang, she does indeed. Lang originally introduced Beyonce to mink lashes a few years ago and she has been hooked ever since. Since eye lash extensions last up to 4 to 6 weeks, she is able to sleep with them and wake up with flawless, fluffy eyelashes.

 

A Celebration Of Carole King And Her Music To Benefit Paul Newman's The Painted Turtle Camp5. Katy Perry

As a pop singer, Katy Perry dons elaborate costumes and bright makeup while she is on tour and performing. However, she recently told Glamour magazine that although she loves her character on stage, she does not always have time to maintain the same look at home. Instead, she focuses mainly on her lashes, eyebrows, and natural skin. She adores eyelash extensions, as they make her feel like Disney’s Bambi – even on the days when she is not surrounded by her beauty squad.

Although many of us are not able to mimic the extravagant lifestyles of the rich and famous, lash extension application can give you the same fabulous look. Although it might seem otherwise, lash extensions cost an affordable amount to have applied and maintained every few weeks.

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.
