THREADING

What is Threading?

Threading is a natural method of hair removal which originates from the Middle East. Cotton thread is used in varying techniques to easily remove individual hairs from the root, leaving excellent results. threading is a fast and effective treatment with finer and decreased regrowth.    

Threading can be used on all areas of the face and body but is most popular for removing facial hair and shaping eyebrows. Hair is lifted out from the root and skin is left feeling smooth with long lasting results.

How Does it Work?

Twisting the thread you can and create a trap in which hairs will be caught and forced out by the root. The back and forth rapid movement of the thread removes the unwanted hair efficiently. Threading is so precise that even a single hair can be easily removed.

How Long Does It Last?

Threading on the eyebrows and upper / lower lip usually lasts for 2 to 4 weeks and facial hair on the sides lasts from 4 to 8 weeks.    

Why is Threading Better than Waxing?

Threading causes the regrowth of hair to be fine and smooth and it is anti-acne.
Threading only requires the hair to be just above the skin and does not need to be long before it can be removed.
Threading causes the hair to grow back slower than waxing and it removes the finest of hairs allowing regrowth to be very fine and scant.
Threading removes lines of hair precisely and cleanly while refining the facial appearance. Threading is ideal for those who are looking for a 100% natural, hygienic and relatively painless technique for the removal of unwanted hair.
Threading is recommended by dermatologists and it is completely safe. Most people who have skin break outs from waxing do not experience this after threading.
Threading does not peel off the top layer of the skin. When threading, only the hair is caught in the thread and not the skin, therefore it does not cause irritation. Most people find threading far less painful than waxing. It is often described as having a 'tingly' feeling.

EYELASH EXTENSIONS

What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are a popular new service and product that lengthens and thickens your own natural eyelashes. Lash Extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a natural, beautiful and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for day to day wear.

What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?
With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. Or choose a more thicker longer eyelashes foran un-natural look. 

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions Last?
When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes. Everyone's experience will differ based on day to day activities but over all touchups should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used.

How often should I get touch-ups?
We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural eyelashes fall out depending on your personal hair growth cycle. Other factors such as expsoure to steam or touching your eyes alot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that fallen. Touch ups take on average 1 Hour.

Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara it can be worn. It must however only be water based mascara.  DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.

Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do recommend however that you do not wash your eye area for about 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application.

Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions?
We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes.
