LASH 101

12/5/2017

LADIES GETTING YOUR FIRST SET OF LASHES IS EXCITING BUT IT CAN ALSO BE CONFUSING. UNLESS YOU ARE A LASH GURU HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF LASHES TO GET, WHAT LENGTH TO ASK FOR, IF IT SHOULD BE A CAT EYE OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. SO MANY FACTORS GO INTO CREATING A LASH LOOK. WHAT WE LOVE MOST ABOUT EXTREME LASHES IS THAT THEIR SELECTION OF LASHES ALLOWS US TO CUSTOMIZE EACH ONE OF OUR CLIENTS LOOKS. LET’S BREAK IT DOWN A BIT FURTHER.

ARTISAN EYELASHES: A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

11/21/2017

THERE IS LITTLE THAT FEELS BETTER THAN WATCHING A CLIENT FALL IN LOVE WITH THEIR LASHES AFTER A SESSION. BUT WHAT IS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT IS THE EXPERIENCE A CLIENT IS GETTING FROM THE MOMENT THEY STEP IN THE DOOR TO THE SECOND THEY STEP OUT AS A NEW LASH-TASTIC WOMAN/MAN. A LARGE PART OF THAT EXPERIENCE COMES FROM THE AMBIANCE OF A LASH STUDIO- DECOR, FURNITURE, MEMORY FOAM LASH BEDS, EVEN THAT FUR THROW. THAT IS WHY OWNER MELISSA ISENBURG HAS MADE IT A PRIORITY FROM THE BEGINNING TO ADD DETAILS THAT MAKE A CLIENT FEEL AT EASE AND RELAXED. EVERYTHING FROM THE VIBRANT FLOWERS, TO THE CHIC FURNITURE, TO THE SOFT BLANKETS AT THE FOOT OF EACH LASH BED WERE HAND SELECTED TO CREATE THAT HOME AWAY FROM HOME FEELING.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT YOUR EYELASHES ARE BENT AT THE ENDS AFTER A LONG DAY OF BAKING OR HOVERING OVER A STOVETOP? YOU CAN BLAME THE HEAT COMING FROM THAT OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN OR THAT BOILING POT OF WATER YOU ARE USING FOR YOUR MASH POTATOES FOR THAT! WITH THANKSGIVING RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, OPENING AND CLOSING THE OVEN MAY SEEM INEVITABLE....BUT LUCKY FOR YOU WE HAVE A FEW TIPS TO KEEP THOSE LASHES AWAY FROM ALL THAT HEAT.

MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE OVEN WHEN YOU ARE OPENING IT. WE LIKE TO STAND TO THE SIDE AS WE OPEN OURS SO THAT WE AREN’T HIT WITH THE DIRECT HEAT.
DON’T HOVER OVER A POT ON THE STOVE FOR TOO LONG. THE STEAM CAN BE YOUR ENEMY.
AVOID THE OVEN COMPLETELY! INDULGE IN SOME NO-BAKE HOLIDAY TREATS!

WE LOVE OUR LASHES AND WE LOVE WHEN OUR LASHES LOOK THEIR BEST. TO AVOID THE OVEN HEAT WE HAVE BECOME MASTERS OF NO-BAKE GOODIES THAT ARE EASY TO MAKE AND HAVE OUR GUESTS REACHING FOR MORE.

GUYLASHES ARE HERE TO STAY

LADIES, I THINK WE CAN AL SAY THAT WE HAVE ONE OR TWO MALE FRIENDS THAT HAVE NATURALLY ENVY-WORTHY LASHES. I KNOW IT'S NOT FAIR! BUT WHAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE GUESSED IS THAT MEN ALSO SUFFER FROM LIGHT-COLORED, THIN, OR SHORT EYELASHES THAT DON'T MAKE THEIR EYES STAND OUT.

TWO WEEKS AGO, ARTISAN EYELASHES HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING LASH EXTENSIONS ON NOT ONE BUT TWO MALES! THEIR ONLY REQUEST WAS TO HAVE ZAYN-WORTHY EYELASHES BY THE END OF THE SESSION. LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT THE RESULTS WERE NOTHING SHORT OF DREAMY!

THE KEY WITH MALE EYELASH EXTENSIONS IS TO CREATE A MASCULINE LOOK WITH DIFFERENT CURVATURES, ;ENGTHS, AND THICKNESS. THAT SULTRY, SEXY ZAYN LOOK IS THE RESULT OF SHORTER AND THICKER EXTENSIONS SET-OFF BY SOME LONGER STRAIGHT PIECES. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEMALE AND MALE LASHES IS THAT WOMEN TEND TO LIKE THEIR LASHES TO BE LONGER, CURVIER, AND MORE VOLUMINOUS. WHEREAS MEN LIKE THE NATUAL THICK EYELASH LOOK THAT WOMEN GO NUTS FOR.

SO IF YOU WEREN'T AWARE THAT MALE LASH EXTENSIONS WERE VERY MUCH A THING NOW YOU KNOW! SEND YOUR HUSBAND, YOUR BROTHER, AND ALL YOUR BROTHERS FRIENDS INTO ARTISAN EYELASHES- BECAUSE IF THERE'S ONE THING WE KNOW IT'S LASHES!
