Avoiding Safety Mistakes Made by Inexperienced Eyelash Artists

/in , /by

At Cherry Lash, we’re proud to provide high-quality eyelash extensions and other eyelash products. Whether you’re going for a dramatic look, natural feel or any other style, our professionals are here to help with method that are both stylish and completely safe.

This last element – safety – is one we take very seriously. The minor risks associated with eyelash care may not seem like much of a concern, and they aren’t – so long as you’re working with reputable eyelash professionals who know the proper steps to take here. Let’s go over a few of the mistakes inexperienced lash pros might make, plus how we avoid them while providing you with lash extensions.

Irritation

When applied properly, lash extensions should allow natural lashes to grow in their normal way and without any pain. If improperly applied, however, they can stick together and cause a “pulling” feeling, either during blinking or constantly.

Generally, this comes down to how much lash glue was used by your eyelash artist. Too much glue will stick lashes together at the bases, which can break lashes and lead to long-term issues. Our artists will end every treatment by brushing your lashes to make sure they don’t snag or pull in any way, something you’ll be able to do yourself once you leave.

Allergies or Reactions

All lash artists need to be aware of possible human sensitivity to certain lash products. Some people are sensitive to certain fumes that are used in some lash adhesives, and others may have issues with the gel pad that’s used during lash treatments. Good lash artists are trained to place the gel pad properly to avoid vapors seeping through, which is the issue in most cases. We’ll also provide barrier creams and other basic preparation services for those with dry skin or other concerns.

And finally, we’ll always give you a patch test before any eyelash application to be sure you won’t have an allergic reaction to any of the products being used. There is no risk of allergic reaction whatsoever when you come to our experienced pros.

Infection

And finally, it’s of paramount importance that all lash artists work in clean, sanitary areas and with tools that match this cleanliness. There are a number of contagious eye-related conditions that may spread otherwise, including pink eye, blepharitis and others. These can take place due to basic unsanitary conditions, poor ventilation, or even stale adhesives being used.

At Cherry Lash, we use only the most detailed sanitation and safety methods to avoid these risks entirely. We are happy to show you how our tools are cleaned, the precautions taken by your artist, and our requirements for hand-washing and other sanitation measures.

Steps and Precautions for Eyelash Extension Application

/in , /by

At Cherry Lash, we love to bring in new customers and show them just how simple and easy eyelash extensions really are. Here’s some basic information to know in this area, from the standard steps of the process to the cleaning requirements and basic precautions you should take before and after your appointment.

The Process

If you’ve never had it done before, you may be a little apprehensive about the actual process of installing lash extensions. But in reality, this is a simple process that follows a few basic steps:

  • For starters, your artist will spend some time with you going over the shape of your eye and your narual lashes. From this information, you’ll choose your desired lash extensions together.
  • Your eyelash artist will place a gel pad over your bottom lashes, then secure this in place using professional-grade medical tape. This protects the skin from tweezers or other tools, and also keeps the bottom lashes from getting in the way.
  • From here, each extension will be placed on your eye on a per-lash basis. Every individual lash is isolated and given its own extension. This is done by the artist dipping each extension into the adhesive solution, then immediately placing it on your lash. Most lashes will cure in just one or two seconds.

Cleaning Needs

If you’re looking to get the very most out of your extensions once they’re put in, the single most important factor is cleaning them regularly. At least two or three times a week is the bare minimum here, and we recommend doing so more often if you can. Also cleanse the lashes to help keep makeup and oils away from them – these oils can break down the adhesives that keep your lashes on, and will limit how long they’re good for.

Precautions

A few other random tips and precautions for first-timers who may be inexperienced in this area:

  • There’s a common misconception that you aren’t allowed to wear makeup or wet your lashes after an extension application appointment – this simply isn’t true.
  • As long as the makeup you choose is marked safe for lash extensions, and as long as you clean the lashes well after each application, makeup is just fine.
  • One part of the above myth is true: You should avoid wetting your lashes until the adhesive fully cures, which may take a couple hours or could take up to a day. After this, though, there’s no issue with wetting lashes.

How to Take Your Makeup to the Next Level

/in /by

Makeup trends are constantly changing, and it can be difficult to keep up with the latest techniques, colors, and styles. Whether you’re a seasoned makeup artist or you’re simply trying to impress others with your flawless makeup, trying new products and styles is essential. If you really want to take your makeup game to the next level, it’s important that you step out of your comfort zone, which is why in today’s post, we will give you a few tips for how you can step up makeup and give yourself that red-carpet-ready look.

At Cherry Lash, we strive to help you look your very best and love your appearance while also making it easier for you to get the lashes that you have always wanted. With our lash extensions, getting beautiful, thick lashes is easy! Instead of applying layer after layer of mascara or struggling with strip lashes, you can wake up each morning with amazing lashes that will last between three to four weeks. At Cherry Lash, we offer three base packages that you can customize to fit your needs. To learn more about our process or to speak with one of our talented lash artists, contact Cherry Lash to schedule a consultation today!

Primer is Your Best Friend

When applying makeup, it’s vitally important that you start with a blank canvas. For some, a blank canvas simply means a clean face, and while it’s a good idea to wash your face before you begin applying makeup, you will need to take the process one step further. You may have heard of primer for your eyelids that helps your eyeshadow last longer. The same concept applies to primer that you would use on your face. If you plan on contouring or you want to eliminate as much discoloration as possible, priming is the very first step. You can find primer in a variety of different colors to meet your needs and your skin type. For example, if you’re worried about breaking out, you can buy an oil-free primer that won’t clog your pores. You can also find a green primer that works wonders for those who have a complexion that is more on the red side.

Don’t Be Afraid to Try Bold New Looks

It’s easy to get stuck in a routine, especially if you find a simple look that doesn’t take much time. That being said, if you want to take your appearance to the next level, it’s a good idea to get out of your comfort zone and try new things. You may have noticed that some of the makeup trends hitting the runway involve bold, bright colors. Gone are the days of muted tones. While you may like the idea of wearing a bright lipstick or using a colored mascara, it can be difficult to make the switch, especially if you’re not sure how it will look. The best way to find out is to give it a try! Have some fun with your makeup and try new colors. Find out what colors will look best with your eye color and skin tone and give them a try. The best thing about makeup is that if you don’t like it, you can always take it off and try again.

Moisturize Your Face

Moisturizer is an underrated part of your makeup routine. You may be hesitant to apply a moisturizer, especially if you have oily skin, but it gives your makeup the boost it needs to look flawless. It’s a good idea to apply moisturizer two times a day, once in the morning before you apply your makeup and once in the evening after you take your makeup off. The moisturizer you use in the morning should also contain a sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy. Sunscreen will protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which will prevent damage that can lead to wrinkles. In addition to protecting your skin from the sun, moisturizing in the morning will also prevent your makeup from clumping and looking as though it is caked onto your skin.

Get Eyelash Extensions

Long, thick eyelashes have a way of giving your eyes a brighter, more youthful appearance. Many people try to create this appearance by applying layers of mascara, using false eyelashes, or even using a lash serum. These methods may not deliver the results that you desire and they can be a hassle. With eyelash extensions, you get the appearance of gorgeous lashes without the struggle of mascaras and serums. Lash extensions are customizable, giving you the power to choose how they look. Whether you are looking for long, thick, bold lashes or a more subtle look that will highlight your natural beauty, you can decide what is right for you.

At Cherry Lash, we are dedicated to helping you look your best. We offer three eyelash extension packages and our expert lash artists will work with you to customize the length, curl, and thickness of your new lashes.

How Eyelash Extensions Can Dress up Your Halloween Costume

/in /by

With the leaves changing and cool, crisp temperatures, fall is easily one of the best times of the year. For many, fall marks the beginning of flannels, apples, and pumpkin spice. For others, it means that their favorite holiday is on the horizon. Halloween gives everyone the excuse to dress up in fun costumes for one night, and one of the most exciting parts of Halloween is getting to try out new makeup to transform yourself into someone (or something) else entirely! In fact, Halloween makeup often involves long eyelashes that add to the overall effect of your costume. That being said, sometimes your false eyelashes don’t always work out the way you want them to.

Want to take your Halloween costume to the next level this year? At Cherry Lash, our professionals can give you long eyelashes that make your costume really stand out. We offer three base eyelash packages, and our lash artists will work with you to customize the length, curl, and thickness of your lashes to meet your needs. Learn more by browsing our website and contact Cherry Lash in Las Vegas or Henderson to schedule an appointment today! In the meantime, continue reading below for a few ways that eyelash extensions can enhance your costume this Halloween.

Customize the Look

The best part of lash extensions is that they are completely customizable, meaning that you can make your extensions as bold or natural as you want. For example, if you are going as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz for Halloween, but you want to really make your eyes stand out, you may want to get eyelash extensions that look more natural but brighten your eyes and make them look bigger. On the other hand, if you’re going as something more dramatic like the Black Swan, you may opt for longer, thicker lash extensions. Either way, your lash artist will work with you to create a look that fits your exact needs.

Professional Quality

For some, Halloween is just an excuse to dress up and go out with your friends. However, there are others who get really excited about their costumes and go all out to make it something really incredible. If you’re determined to win every costume contest this Halloween, you may want to enlist help from the professionals. As we mentioned above, false lashes are great when you need to give your natural lashes a boost, but they also have a tendency to not work out according to plan. Not to mention, if you’re not used to putting on false lashes, it can take a few tries to get them just right. Why subject yourself to all of the hassle when you can get eyelash extensions from the professionals? You will get the same look that you are trying to achieve with fake lashes, but the extensions will be made with higher quality materials and you’ll be able to wear them for more than just one night.

If you’re looking for a way to take your Halloween costume to the next level, Cherry Lash is here to help! Our lash artists will help you get the lashes you need to complete your look. To learn more about our lash extensions, browse our website or give us a call to schedule your appointment today!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Fall Beauty Trends You Have to Try

/in /by

Fall is just around the corner, which means that it’s time to say goodbye to the bright colors of summer and say hello to your favorite cozy sweaters, knee-high boots, and shades of gold and brown. Similar to how you change out your wardrobe with the season, it’s a good idea to adjust your makeup to comply with the latest seasonal trends. It can be difficult to stay up to date with the hottest looks, which is why in today’s post, we will discuss a few of the fall trends that you should try.

One look that will never go out of season is amazing lashes. At Cherry Lash in Las Vegas and Henderson, we can provide you with amazing lash extensions that are sure to make everyone jealous. While it can be fun to put on makeup in the morning, it’s a hassle most of the time. However, when you have lash extensions, you wake up each day with effortlessly thick lashes. Want to try our eyelash extensions for yourself? Contact Cherry Lash today to schedule your appointment!

Smokey Brown

When you think of the colors associated with fall, you usually think about reds, oranges, and different hues of brown. Therefore, it only makes sense that a smokey brown eye would be a featured trend. The great thing about brown is that it comes in a variety of different shades, making it easy to mix and match with colors that look great with your skin tone. You can create a sultry smokey look using a darker brown on your lid that fades into a lighter brown just under your brow. Regardless of what technique you choose for your makeup, you can’t go wrong this season with brown.

Power Lip

Dressing for the colder months typically involves wearing a lot of darker colors, which can be frustrating if you enjoy expressing your personality with bright colors and funky styles. If that’s the case, you’re in luck! One of the hottest beauty trends this fall is the power lip. Among the darker colors, you can incorporate a pop of color with a bold lip color that is sure to stand out. This trend is designed to promote women’s empowerment, giving you a confident look that says that you mean business. The color red symbolizes power and determination, so if you incorporate a bold, red lip into your ensemble, you’re sure to make a statement.

Glitter

Glitter is a trend that we don’t see leaving the red carpet anytime soon. With a little bit of sparkle, you can make your personality shine. The great thing about glitter is that you can add it to any part of your wardrobe or makeup routine. If you want to make your eyes stand out, you can apply a glittery eyeshadow or a swipe of shimmery liner.

Fluttering Lashes

Long lashes accompanied by more neutral makeup are trending this fall. While you can choose to spend each morning applying layer after layer of mascara to achieve long, full lashes, another way to get the trendy lashes you desire is to get lash extensions from Cherry Lash! Our eyelash extensions are made from high-quality materials and can be customized to meet your needs. With long, thick eyelashes taking off this fall, it’s easy to be part of the tend with lash extensions. Browse our website to learn more about our different options, and contact Cherry Lash in Henderson or Las Vegas to schedule an appointment!

Ways You Can Increase Your Confidence

/in /by

Having confidence in yourself is an important part of living the life that you want to live. If you have self-confidence, you feel more comfortable trying new things and meeting new people. Unfortunately, there may be times in your life when your self-confidence could use a little boost. Luckily, there are many different ways that you can improve your confidence, such as treating yourself to eyelash extensions. Lash extensions make your eyes look bigger and enhance your natural beauty, making you smile every time you look in the mirror. At Cherry Lash, our lash artists can provide you with amazing lash extensions that are customized to your exact specifications. If you’re interested in learning more, contact Cherry Lash in Las Vegas or Henderson. In the meantime, continue reading below for a few suggestions of how you can easily improve your self-confidence.

Eliminate Toxic Influences

We all have those people in our lives that are mentally and emotionally draining. These are the people that somehow manipulate the conversation and make you feel bad about yourself. Once these toxic people are in your life, it can be difficult to get rid of them, especially if you feel connected to them. That being said, if you want to improve your self-confidence, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many toxic relationships from your life as possible. While it may take time to remove them completely, more often than not, you will feel a sense of freedom once you do.

Set Small Goals For Yourself

Gaining confidence is all about the small victories. It would be great if you could decide to improve your self-confidence and then wake up the next day feeling as though you could conquer the world. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. The best way to slowly improve your confidence is to set small goals for yourself, such as trying something you’ve never tried before. Achieving your goal will give you a sense of pride and increase your confidence in the process!

Focus on What You Can Change

One way to become frustrated with improving your self-confidence is to focus on the aspects of your life that you have no control over. Instead of getting hung up on what you can’t change, try to focus on the elements of your life that you can change. For example, if you feel self-conscious about your weight, get in the habit of going to the gym or working out with a partner. If you are stressed out about something at work, instead of bringing that stress home with you, try and find a way to separate your home life from your work life so that you can decompress and enjoy your downtime.

Change Your Image

It’s amazing how small changes can make a huge difference, and if you need a boost in confidence, changing your appearance can go a long way. There are times where all we need is a fresh new look to make us feel completely rejuvenated. If that’s the case, treat yourself to a new haircut or buy yourself a new outfit that makes you feel confident and attractive. You can also change up your appearance with eyelash extensions, making it easy to make your eyes stand out in an appealing way. When you look in the mirror, you want to feel confident in the person looking back at you, so something like eyelash extensions or a new wardrobe can give you the boost that you need.

If you think that eyelash extensions are a perfect way to help you boost your confidence, then Cherry Lash is here to help! We offer three base packages for you to choose from, and our lash artists will work with you to customize your new lashes to fit your style and personality. Interested in learning more?

Eyelash Extension Care 101

/in /by

There are many benefits you will experience when you get eyelash extensions, but probably the main benefit is that you will get to wake up every day with gorgeous, thick lashes. Over time, you eyelash extension will fall out as your natural lashes go through their growth cycle. When this occurs, you will need to go to the lash salon and get your extensions refilled. With that in mind, there are a few things that you can do to ensure that your lash extensions last as long as possible. Continue reading below for a few tips on how to care for your eyelash extensions.

At Cherry Lash in Las Vegas and Henderson, we take pride in giving our clients beautiful lashes. We offer three different extension options, and then your lash artist will work with you to help you customize the thickness, length, and curl of your new lashes. Whether you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your natural lashes, or you want to look red-carpet-ready every day, at Cherry Lash, we can make it happen! Contact us to schedule your appointment today!

Avoid Water for the First 48 Hours

Eyelash extensions are attached to your natural lashes using an adhesive. Once you receive the extensions, it’s important that you don’t get your eyelashes wet for the first 48 hours, so as to allow the adhesive time to properly bond with the natural eyelash. Avoid showering, swimming, and using hot water or steam on or near your lashes until the 48-hour period is over.

Try not to Curl

With your natural lashes, it’s normal to use an eyelash curler to give them a little extra boost of volume. However, with your eyelash extensions, curling your lashes could result in an unwanted curl that won’t go away, or it could cause damage to both your extensions and your natural lashes. Your lash artist will work with you to customize the curl, so if you know that you will want more volume, be sure to talk to your lash artist during your appointment.

Comb Them out When Necessary

Every so often, you may notice that your lash extensions are crisscrossing or appear to be slightly tangled. This is common for people who tend to toss and turn in their sleep. If you notice tangles in your lash extensions, gently comb through them using an eyelash comb. It’s important that you only do this when it is necessary, as over-combing could cause your lashes to fall out.

Don’t Play With or Pull Your Lashes

Try to avoid any unnecessary touching of your eyelash extensions, such as pulling, rubbing, or playing with them. When you pull or tug on your lashes, you risk accidentally pulling some of your extensions out. The same applies to rubbing your eyes to remove makeup. If you need to touch your lashes, do so gently or use a cotton swab to remove makeup close to the lash line.

Properly caring for your eyelash extensions will ensure that they stay beautiful for as long as possible. At Cherry Lash, we strive to provide you with everything you need to look your best and love your gorgeous eyelashes. If you have any questions or you would like to schedule an appointment, contact the Cherry Lash nearest you!

Eyelash Extension Mistakes You Should Avoid

/in /by

With proper care, your eyelash extensions will not only look beautiful, but they will also last for three to four weeks. That being said, there are certain steps that you should take to ensure that your lashes are in good condition. Failing to follow the instructions of you lash artist or neglecting your lashes once they are applied will result in shorter periods between fill-ins and lashes that may not meet your expectations. In today’s post, we’ve outlined a few mistakes that you should avoid regarding your eyelash extensions so that they will look their best and last as long as possible.

At Cherry Lash, we want to help you feel confident and beautiful with gorgeous eyelash extensions. You have the option of choosing between our three lash extension packages. From there, our expert lash artists will help you customize your lashes to fit your exact specifications. Are you interested in thick eyelashes that make you look ready to take on the red carpet, or do you want a more subtle appearance that gives your natural lashes a boost? No matter what you’re looking for, the experts at Cherry Lash are here to help! Contact our lash studio in Henderson or Las Vegas to schedule an appointment today.

Mistake #1: Not Removing Makeup Before Your Appointment

Before your lash extension appointment, it’s vital that you take the time to remove all of your makeup before arriving at the lash studio. You want to walk into your appointment with a completely clean face that is free of makeup. The reason you’re required to take off your makeup is because in order to apply the lash extensions, the extensions need to adhere to your natural lashes. If you’re wearing mascara, the glue won’t adhere as well. Not only that, but showing up with a full face of makeup will also require your lash artist to take time away from your appointment to take it all off, meaning that you may have to pay more for your time or you won’t get quality that you desired.

Mistake #2: Exposing Your Lashes to Water

Once you receive your lash extensions, the glue used to attach the extensions will need time to dry. Lash artists typically recommend that you give the adhesive 24 to 48 hours to dry completely, and in that time, you will have certain restrictions of what you can and can’t do. The last thing that you want is to spend two hours or more having your lash extension attached only to have them fall off. With that in mind, it’s important that you avoid water within the 24- to 48-hour period. Water will ruin the glue attaching the extensions to your natural lashes, making them fall off. For this reason, it’s best to avoid swimming, showering, going to the gym, or even steam.

Mistake #3: Failing to Maintain Your Lash Extensions

Many believe that once you’ve received your lash extensions that you don’t have to do anymore work until your fill-in appointment, however, that is not the case. Although lash extensions make your morning routine a lot faster, there is still a small amount of work that you need to put in to ensure that your lashes last a long time and look their best. You will need to use a lash comb to untangle your lashes each morning, as they will occasionally become tangled during the night. Part of maintaining your lashes also includes going in for regular filler appointments. Your extensions will fall out as your natural lashes go through their growth cycle, so if you want to have continuously fabulous lashes, you will need to have them filled in every three to four weeks.

These are just a few mistakes that you should avoid when you receive eyelash extensions. Luckily, if you decide to get lash extensions from the experts at Cherry Lash in Las Vegas or Henderson, you can rest assured that you are not making a mistake and that you are getting lashes from some of the best in the industry.

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?

/in /by

There’s no better way to start your day than by waking up with gorgeous eyelashes. While this may feel like a dream to some that will never come to pass, you may be surprised to learn that achieving the long, thick eyelashes of your dreams can be a reality! At Cherry Lash in Las Vegas, our talented lash artists can offer you high-quality lash extensions. Are you looking to enhance your natural lashes and make them stand out? Do you want to make a statement every time you step into the room? At Cherry Lash, we offer three base lash extension packages. From there, our lash artists will work with you to customize the length, thickness, and curl of your new eyelashes. If you’re ready to get started, contact Cherry Lash in either Las Vegas or Henderson to schedule an appointment today!

Finally achieving the gorgeous lashes that you’ve always wanted may seem too good to be true, and you may be wondering if there’s a catch. As with any cosmetic service, there is a certain amount of maintenance that you will have to do to ensure that your lashes look their best. Additionally, it’s important to note that lash extensions don’t last forever, and in order to keep them looking full and healthy, you will periodically have to get them filled. In today’s post, we will discuss how long eyelash extensions last and list a few things you can do to ensure that you get the most out of your lashes between fillings.

Your Natural Eyelash Growth Cycle

At some point in your life, you’ve probably brushed an eyelash off of a friend’s face or accidentally dislodged one when you were rubbing your eye. When this happened, you probably thought nothing of it. That’s because, much like your hair, your eyelashes go through a natural growth cycle. As new eyelashes begin to grow, your old eyelashes will naturally fall out.

So what does the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes have to do with your eyelash extensions? Many people think that lash extensions are attached to your eyelid, but they are actually attached to your natural eyelashes using a special adhesive. Each individual lash extension is carefully attached to an individual eyelash, which is why the process of receiving eyelash extensions can take up to two hours or more.

How Long Will My Extensions Last?

Because your lash extensions are attached to your individual lashes, they will fall out as your natural lashes go through their growth cycle. As a result, most lash salons recommend that you make an appointment to have new extensions attached every three to four weeks.

Get the Most Out of Your Lashes

The thought of losing your eyelash extensions and having to get new ones every few weeks may be a bit unnerving. However, you may be relieved to know that there are a few things that you can do to ensure that you will get the most out of your lashes before you have to make another appointment. The first thing you need to do is make sure that you properly care for your lashes. If you are rough with your lash extensions or don’t give them the proper maintenance in between appointments, then you may find that you need to fill them more frequently.

The most important thing that you should keep in mind is not to pull, tug, or rub your eyelashes. If you are rough with your lash extensions, there is a good chance that you will accidentally pull some out. With that in mind, you should also try to avoid touching your lash extensions as much as possible, especially in the beginning. If you are interested in learning more about caring for your eyelash extensions, check out our previous post, where we outline a few ways to care for your gorgeous lashes.
