The Perfect Lashes: Eyelash Extensions
By: Ashley King
Full eyelashes, not only long but thick, have been a desired look of women since the beginning of time. We as women often find ourselves comparing ourselves to many of the pages, we often see in the beauty magazines, deep down, even though we know we are all beautifully made, we cannot help but gravitate to wanting the seemingly perfect lashes of the people that grace our screens; whether it be on televisions or our phones, on a day-to-day basis. We even jokingly compare ourselves to the men in our lives, because of their perfect long, thick natural lashes. Unlike most men, most women are not blessed with the perfect lashes we crave.
Do not worry, contrary to popular belief, public figures, celebrities, Instagram models, and yes, even Tik Tok influencers have the same issue, WE ALL WANT THE PERFECT LASHES!
So how can you achieve that perfect lash look, whether it be the look that your favorite $60 mascara gives you or a long, full lash look that gives you those strikingly sultry eyes you have always wanted.
The answer is… Eyelash Extensions.
By attaching either silk or mink eyelash extensions to our natural eyelashes individually, with a safe and special adhesive, a lash stylist can give you the look you have been dying for. By adding the extensions to each individual lash, it gives a seamlessly natural look.
You may ask yourself, what are the benefits of having eyelash extensions?
Deion Sanders, a famous football player and sports announcer, coined the phrase “If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you play good.”. The same is true with eyelash extensions.
Lashes instantly enhance your natural eye, as well as your natural beauty. Your face will look brighter and more youthful. Your friends will know you changed something, but they will not be able to place their finger on the thing that looks different. The compliments will just pour in and your confidence will soar even higher than it is already. Eyelash Extensions look natural and are weightless. Our Lash Lounge Winter Park stylists are trained to add lashes based on the weight and health of the natural lash. By doing this, the stylists promote your natural lashes to grow, as well as stay healthy, while giving you the look that you desire.
Just because you start getting your lashes done does not mean you have to stop your life. At the Lash Lounge Winter Park, after 8hrs of no water being placed directly on your lashes, you can swim, hike, and enjoy everyday life. Always have a mascara-free morning. You can sleep in; your morning routine time will be reduced because eyelash extensions help you maximize your time. You will not need to create the perfect eye look, because you already have it.
The maintenance is easy. After your initial appointment, which could take up to 2 hours depending on the skill level of your lash stylist. After this initial appointment, all you need is a “lash nap” every 2 to 3 weeks based on your natural lash cycle, to keep your lashes full.
What is a “lash nap”?
A lash nap is what we call touch ups or refills at the Lash Lounge Winter Park. Refills are less expensive and less time-consuming. Refills are very important to your overall lash health, as well as cleansing your lashes. Cleansing your lashes keep your lashes free from buildup and dirt, which could cause you to lose your eyelash extensions too soon.
There are may advantages as well as disadvantages when it comes to Eyelash Extensions.
The only real disadvantage is that eyelash extensions are addictive, in a good way!
Once you start you will not want to stop. It not only gives you the look you want, as soon as you wake up in the morning, but it is a look that you can keep up with through regular maintenance and “lash naps”.
