Eyelash Extensions Economics

Eyelash Extensions Economics 🧮💲

Lots of people think that by pushing out their Lash Refill an extra week they are getting “longer out of their lashes” and therefore value for money. Makes sense right?

lash refills perth

It’s true that by waiting an extra week, you are paying “less per day”. But did you know that on average its between 85cents – $1.60/day that you actually save?* 🪙

Over the extra week this works out to be about 5% of your initial investment in a full set.

AND what not everyone realises is that if you do come back sooner, the handful of extra cents a day actually goes further than it does on the appointments that are further apart. It results in 15% more time on a weekly basis (over the life span of the set) ➕➕

The end result is lashes that are fuller, for more of the time and a longer overall life of your set. 🙌

And who knew that one day, statistics would come in handy for the really important things in life? 😆 📉📊

What is a Lash Lift?

  • a semi-permanent lash enhancement
  • an alternative to eyelash extensions
  • A treatment based on the natural lashes
  • A beauty service that curls and lifts eyelashes from the bases making them appear longer and fuller

Eyelash Lift Procedure

Here is what to

  • The lashes are cleaned and very carefully separated.
  • A silicone rod is placed on the eyelid, and the lashes are adhered to it with perfect precision
  • A lifting lotion is applied to the lashes, which breaks down the bond in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped.
  • As their natural bond is dissolved, the carefully placed adhesive keeps them in their newly placed position which is lifted from their roots.
  • A setting lotion is then applied, reforming the bond in this position and setting the lashes in their new shape. This has the effect of causing lashes that were previously too short to be visible appear and cause the previously visible lashes to suddenly appear longer. The Secret to the Lash Lift is the *illusion* of volume and length it can create with only the natural lashes.
  • The lashes are then tinted, giving them a darker, more refined look and creating definitions between the layers.

Lash Lift Pros ✅

Overall, lash lifts are a great way to enhance your natural beauty without the need for invasive procedures or daily maintenance.

Did you know SALT can be an Eyelash Extension Killer ?

pertheyes

As humans we naturally excrete electrolytes but luckily Eyelash Extensions are versatile enough to survive this regular level of exposure without restricting your lifestyle!

However, it’s important that following  direct or prolonged exposure to Salt Water you thoroughly Cleanse 💦 your Eyelash Extensions with a proper Lash Safe Cleanser, then carefully allow them to dry. 

Keep this in mind for after :

✅ Swimming at the Beach 🌊

✅ Sweating / Working Out 😰

✅ Crying 😭 – They don’t call them Salty Tears for nothing !

If the salt is not properly removed from your lashes it can absorb all natural moistures, drying out the extensions and natural lashes. In turn this can see them become brittle and their bonds become fragile. Over time salt water corrosion can cause the  active ingredient in Lash Adhesive; Cyanoacrylate to become weakened which may lead to premature Extension Loss.

All of this can be avoided with a super simple Lash Cleanse which is part of recommended daily aftercare anyway. How to clean my Lash Extensions

Following this step will not only protect your Lash investment from potential damage from salt but will super charge your retention in many ways !

why real russian volume means hand-made fans

The difference in Hand-Made and Pre-Made Volume Lash fans

By definition, the Russian Volume lash technique involves the creation of beautiful lash fans by hand, with 3-6 0.05mm-0.07mm diameter extensions. This fluffy, lightweight fan is attached to your individual natural lashes one by one, the thin base wrapping snugly around your natural eyelashes one by one. If it sounds complex – that’s because it is!

Lash Artists require passion and dedication that comes after years of training and practice to master this fine art. The last few years has seen the increase of the use of “handmade fans” in the industry . These are mass manufactured in a uniform, pre-made fan shape, have a thicker and heavier base and can not be wrapped around the eyelash so lay on top of it instead.

The fundamental skill of “creating the fan” is not required, which means a Lash Artist who has the most basic knowledge – akin to a beginner introductory level at TAFE,  can apply them without having had the practice or extensive training required for genuine volume.

You won’t be able to open your eyes for an hour or more while having Lash Extensions. You can’t afford to take a leap of faith when it comes to the application of medical grade adhesive millimetres from your eyes! Do your research + be sure of the technique and procedure once your eyes are closed. While we acknowledge a place for the express technique in our industry as it is much faster and therefore produces what should be cheaper “lash sets” we urge you to do your research and be aware of what you are signing up for. We only create customised Lash Sets by hand in all our Perth Lash Salons. 

Pre-Made Fans and True Russian Hand-crafted Volume are not a like-for-like comparison! xxx

Lash Cleanser | Aftercare

learn how to clean lash extensions

Once you have invested in a set of eyelash extensions you will want to take care of them and your general lash hygiene at the same time! The biggest factor in how long your lashes will last is how well you follow the aftercare information provided at your appointment.

If you don’t have one already, pick up a Extension Safe Lash Cleanser at your Perth Lash Extensions appointment and potentially DOUBLE the life of your lash extensions when compared to someone who uses the wrong type of cleanser or even worse neglects to clean their lashes at all.

Follow these steps along in the video

1. Wet your face / lashes with clean water.
2. Apply a small amount of Lash Cleanser directly onto your lashes.
3. Gently lather and brush through your lashes all the way down to your eyelid.
4. Rinse thoroughly but gently with water.
5. Gently pat dry

Why We Are on Team Handmade! 

pertheyes

Why We Are on Team Handmade!

“Lash Fans” are the delicate bunches of fine volume extensions attached to individual natural lashes to create a Volume Set.

Handmade fans are created individually at your appointment. Where as pre-made fans are lash extensions that are mass produced, bunches of identical fans, supplied to the Lash Artist already bonded.

Call us old fashioned, but here’s a few of the reasons we don’t take this short cut:

1/ We Like Bespoke Versatile Sets: one size doesn’t fit all. When a Lash Artist has the skills to create by hand, they can tailor the fans to suit the client’s desired style, whether it’s natural, dramatic, or anything in between. This customization se extensions blend seamlessly with your natural lashes, enhancing your unique eye shape and overall appearance.

Be it a fuller, more glamorous look or a subtle enhancement you are after, creating by hand allows us to deliver.

2. Lightweight: Handmade fans are typically lighter in weight meaning they are less likely to weigh down your natural lashes. The reduced  risk of damage to your natural lashes ensures better long-term lash health!

4. Longer-lasting: because the fans have not been pre bonded, when we create a fan we can then wrap it around your natural lashes! THIS is the fundamental reason this method is better for you. We can place each fan to ensure optimal lash attachment, resulting in noticeably better retention. Ultimately this means fewer refills and a longer time between them.

Lash Lift – Before and After

Lash Lift – Before and After

Watching the clients reaction when they look in the mirror for the first time after having a Lash treatment is by far one of the highlights of being a Lash Tech. Their smiles and delight are contagious and sharing in the moment with them is really rewarding for us!

First time clients often do a double take having barely recognised themselves.  The impact that the service has on not just their lashes and their eyes, but the beauty of the perfect symmetry that has been created and the way certain features are accentuated and others now seem smaller in contrast regularly exceeds their expectations!

lash lift before and after

Interestingly, it’s often Lash Lift results that seem to really shock and delight. By nature of their name alone, there is an expectations that ‘eyelash extensions’ will ‘extend’ but the knowledge that the Lash Lift they had done has manipulated only the same natural eyelashes they arrived to the appointment with really blows some clients away. This client was one of those that simply couldn’t believe these were her own lashes 💛

A Lash Lift straightens, then lifts and curls the natural lashes from their base before staining them black. This creates the illusion of increased length as shorter lashes are suddenly visible due to the lift and added volume as natural lashes that were previously invisible come to light for the first time.
