Greetings, Over the past 2 weeks I have literally been bombarded with PR about professional eyelash extensions. I received an email yesterday from a salon owner I know who is considering offering the service.
She told me "it is the hottest new trend in spas and salons" and she is evaluating training.
Since all the people in this section of HairTalk are so savvy at DIY hair extensions I figured a lot of you probably have already traveled down the DIY eyelash extension patch.
I also know there are professional hair, beauty and make-up artists out there who are exploring the options.
I would love it if you would all join me here with your thoughts, experiences and share as you do so fantastically about hair extensions. ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

Xtreme Lashes are definitely on my to do list. I have a girlfriend that has them and they look really good. They look feathery-soft and med-long. They don't look fake like baby doll lashes or something or like the ones you get in the ghetto salon with the black glue. It's an expensive procedure. It cost about $200 for the first application, which supposedly lasts 3 months. Then you go back every so often to get them re-applied. They apply an eye lash to each one of your lashes with a small amount of glue. Here's the link for more info. I may wait for the price to come down! They look gorgeous though! http://www.xtremelashes.com/PhotoEyelashExtensionsNatural.aspx - http://www.xtremelashes.com/PhotoEyelashExtensionsNatural.aspx ------------- AS OF 5/25/2007 4A 10 1/2' in the top 10 on the sides 3 1/2 in the back GOAL BSL |

Hi,
Do you perform lash services?
I am reading so much about it that it looks the "next hot thing" for salons/spas. I remember when eyebrow services exploded and everyone rushed out to put eyebrow bars in their salons. In fact, one salon owner I know here in Dallas ripped out the little coffee bar and turned it into a eyebrow bar. It did well for her but I missed the espresso. :-) ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

You could always google Xtreme Lash [your city, state or just city]. When I googled "Eyelash Extensions" I got all types of things. I didn't want the ones that you buy at wal-mart. Many stylist had no idea what Xtreme Lash was or the technique. I didn't really have to have Xtreme Lash I just wanted to have individual lashes applied the way they do. Good Luck. Post pix for us after you get them!

I started doing my own several months ago and won't be seen without them! They are fun and easy to do on oneself. I don't use the Xtreme Lash system, but prefer Everlash which is a semi-permanent system from Germany. I posted a tutorial that has been received very well so far. Several women have been having success using the method I'm developing. I've been getting so much feedback that I'm working on a business designed to teach other women how to DIY eyelash extensions. Here's my tutorial:

I've had Xtreme lashes done last May. They cost me 350 with my 50 off coupon. There generally 300-350 with touch-ups to be performed at least every3-4 wks.
While they looked awesome, they didn't last longer than 4 weeks. I was told I'd need just a touch-up at 6-8 weeks. By 4 weeks I was pretty much lashless...but they did look great while on. I was careful too. Slept on my back, didnt curl them, wore their mascara and eyelash gel treatment...waste of money though
My mom still gets her done. I don't know if me working out and sweaat getting in my eyes and lashes made them weaker. But even in May I wasn't working out that often. And my mom works out daily w/out a sweatband and hers last until her 4 week touch up. Sometimes she loses a lot.
If you can afford it go for it. But I was told me 4 dollars falsies I apply from cvs when i go out looked even better:)

Eyelash extensions are definitely a hot topic. Due to the cost to have them applied, many who wear them are interested in the DIY application.
If you are new to DIY extension applications, you might find that using flares might save more time and add the extra length and volume a bit faster. http://www.exceptionalhair.com/site/788841/product/lash-flares - Flares are a small group of flared lashes instead of single, individual lashes.
Eyelash extensions are extremely beautiful and natural looking so if you can find the supplies at a reasonable cost, they are worth a try.
Here is an http://www.ehairexperts.com/eyelashes/lash-extensions/ - article with a tad bit more about lash extensions as well as an image. ------------- http://www.ehairexperts.com - eHairExperts - your article resource for all of your hair extension needs.

| I want this service done for my lashes. I have very short and extremely curly eyelashes so glue on lashes for me is not an option. Do you guys think there is lash service in New Orleans? |

I would be surprised if there weren't any eyelash services in NO. Most larger cities have several to choose from. It has become extremely popular. You might check the Web for listings in your area. Good luck. ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

While I adore the look, I have literally been discouraged from getting them by salon professionals who thought they were just astronomically expensive for such a short lasting effect. So as of yet, I haven't pursued them. My long hair which lasts for years, enhancing and investing in it I am totally willing to do. Still considering..... :-) ------------- http://www.AprilBraswell.com - Dating and Relationship Expert |

Thank you for chiming in. That was essentially what the ladies were telling me. Now the gal is NO with the super curly and short lashes, I would totally understand you have like no false eyelash alternatives. But I can wear those and have a few which looks glam lovely. ------------- http://www.AprilBraswell.com - Dating and Relationship Expert |

I do my own and like many others, will not go without them now. Before I did my own, I practiced on my 15 year old daughter who has very curly lashes. She loved them and they looked very "age appropriate"!! The lashes are only a few dollars as well as the adhesive and they last well (even with allergy eyes that I rub). I have not removed them all, rather I just add more as they thin out.
We just posted another article about http://www.ehairexperts.com/eyelashes/how-to-apply-lash-extensions/ - DIY lash extensions that you might find helpful.

eyelash extensions lashes are very popular these days. Ultimately it's important to do whatever works best for you.
Most of us have probably already heard of lash extensions but how do you apply them? To apply your own lash extensions, you will only need a few things: 1. individual lash extensions (short, medium or long) Take the lash adhesive and place a drop on a small piece of foil. Using the tweezers, remove each lash from it’s container, dip the tip into the adhesive and apply the tip to the base of your lashes, starting on the outer part of your eye (be sure to look closely into the mirror to ensure you are adhering the lash to the correct area). Hold the lash with the tweezers to allow the glue to set. Use the safety pin to correctly position and separate the lashes before the glue completely sets. If you notice that you are losing lashes, you might consider dipping more than just the tip into the adhesive or even touching the lash directly to the adhesive tip to be sure it is completely coated. Instead of waiting for all the lashes to fall out, just replace individual lashes as needed and they will last and last without a completely new install. You might also notice that one side looks absolutely beautiful while the other side looks “different”. This is either because you used your other hand or because you tried using the same hand, so that eye’s lashes are not facing the right direction. As much as possible, you will need to try to use your other hand: left hand does left eye and right hand does right eye. After a few times of practicing, both eyes will look like they were professionally installed, all for about ten bucks!! |
