Lash Lifting and Tinting at Ashka Salon Spa

Eyelash Extensions have been all the rage lately. With so much focus on how our lashes are looking, many people who don’t want to deal with the maintenance that comes with eyelash extensions have been looking for alternatives to getting those lashes they dream about. We have been doing Lash Lifting and Tinting at Ashka Salon Spa for a while now! Madison has been trained and worked tirelessly to perfect her craft.

When Madison was training, I was one of her models! I have had eyelash extensions in the past, and while I LOVED them on vacation, they just are not for my everyday lifestyle. I was eager to try out this new service and see how I liked it. As soon as I got done with my lash lift and tint, I instantly fell in love. While the results were subtle, when I applied mascara I could tell a huge difference in how curled my lashes were. I would recommend this service to anyone who is scared to try eyelash extensions because of the commitment to them.

I Interviewed Madison on Lash Lifting and Tinting!

I asked Madison a few questions about Lash Lifting and Tinting to get the inside scoop about everything!

Question #1: How did you know you wanted to learn lash lifting and tinting?

When Jozie [the manager] first presented the opportunity for me to learn Lash Lifting and Semi Permanent Mascara, I knew instantly that I wanted to do it! Eyelashes are a huge focal point on the face. It’s a feature that opens your eyes, making them seem larger and brighter. Eyelashes are my personal favorite feature on the face, so being able to work hands on with natural lashes definitely excited me!

Question #2: What are the most important things to remember when getting this service?

The most important thing to remember about Lash Lifting and Semi Permanent Mascara is that with the service, it is working with your natural lash. There is no additional length or volume added. The curl is done strictly with the natural length of the client’s eyelashes. With doing this service, it is very important for the client to take care of their lashes!

Question #3: What makes a good lash lift and tint candidate?

A good candidate for Lash Lifting and Semi Permanent Mascara is someone who likes a very natural look. Since this service works with their natural lash, it is great for people who are a little bit more low maintence with their appearance. It is great for those who prefer to wear less make up and people who don’t spend that much time in the morning getting ready. This is also a great service for those who already have a busy schedule and spending time on themselves in the morning is usually very minimal.

Question #4: Can you break down the process of a lash lift and tint?

There’s a couple of steps to doing a Lash Lift and Semi Permanent Mascara application. It’s a process that usually takes around 45 minutes to achieve. The Lash Lift is the first thing you do. While the client is laying down with their eyes closed, I will measure the length of their lashes to find the perfect silicone rod for the curl. once the lashes are fitted to the rod, I will apply the solutuon. I then apply a neutralizer. After both steps, I then cleanse the eyes to reveal a beautiful set of curled lashes! From there I prep the lashes for the tint. Using customized tint for each client, it will then be applied. After that, the lashes are cleansed one last time to reveal the final look.

Until Next Time,

What is the Deal with Eyelash Extensions?

All I have been seeing lately is “Eyelash Extensions this or Eyelash Extensions that”. Celebrities everywhere are proclaiming their love for them. With this service growing in popularity so quickly, many people are left with questions! What are they? Do I need a natural or glamour application? Who is suited for eyelash extensions? I will answer all of these questions and more in this blog, so keep on reading!

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Our Eyelash Extensions are individual and semi-permanent. They are great for special occasions, or even just everyday life! The lashes should last approximately 3 to 6 weeks depending upon the life cycle of your own natural lashes. They are applied on top of your lashes and will slowly fall out as your natural lashes do. We do require a complementary phone consultation and an in-person consultation might be necessary. With various lengths, colors, and thicknesses, our Eyelash Extensions Team will customize a perfect look for you.

Ashka Salon Spa’s Eyelash Extensions Application Types

At Ashka Salon Spa we have two different types of applications. You can either get a Natural Application or a Glamour Application. It really is personal preference of the style you prefer.

Once you have your lashes on, and have fallen in love with them, you’re going to want them to last for as long as possible! To increase the longevity of your extensions, you can come in for a fill within the first three weeks of your initial full application. After that you will reschedule for a full application again.

What are the “Rules” of Eyelash Extensions?

When you first get your lashes done, your Lash Extension Specialist will give you some rules to follow. You can’t cry, sweat, or wash for at least 24 hours after application. This is because you need to be able to let the glue that they used to fully set up. After that, day to day, you must be careful about what type of make up remover you use. It cannot be oil based because that might loosen your lash extensions shortening their lifespan.

Another thing you have to keep in mind is that through sleeping and normal day activities, your lash extensions may start to tangle. To avoid any craziness you should use a clean, disposable mascara wand to lightly brush them in the morning, after showering, and at night. Your lash specialist should give you one before your leave your appointment.

Lastly, you are allowed to use mascara with your extensions, even though you probably will realize you don’t really need too. However, you cannot use waterproof mascara. It is also important to keep in mind that with the use of even non waterproof mascara, it can weaken your extensions thus shortening their lifespan.

I had mine in while I was up north this summer and it was perfect! I didn’t have to fuss with mascara, or worrying about if it was running down my face while I swam. If you are interested in a consultation, call Ashka Salon Spa today!
