Here are some before and after pictures of a new client who has never tried an eyelash perm and found us when researching for an effective lash curler. She has very coarse, straight lashes and stated that she was unable to find a lash curler that would be able to keep a curl in her lashes. She stumbled across "lash perm" during her search for the perfect lash curler and began looking at some lash perm before and after photos and gave us a call to see if this might be a viable option for her. During the assessment, it became obvious she had super stubborn lashes and I was going to use a more aggressive approach during the lash perming process. This just entails applying lash perm from root all the way to tips and leaving the lash perm solution on a full 15 minutes. If I have a client whose lashes are typically more responsive and less resistant, I simply apply the solution from root to mid-shaft and leave on 10 minutes (if they have fine textured lashes). I'm happy with the results...we got a lot of curl. I would explore different wave patterns in the future with her. I love straightening the tips when I do an aggressive curl pattern to give the look of more length, etc. The curl options are endless and completely depend on what we decide upon after a thorough discussion. I finished the look with a blue/black lash tint that perfectly highlighted her gorgeous light blue eyes. The really fun part about this result is waking up in the morning looking like this when you are wearing absolutely no makeup! Here are the different looks to achieve once you have this service:
1) The Natural Look ~ A fun trick to thicken the lashes without mascara is to use clear chapstick. When you have your lashes permed and tinted it takes so little for an enhanced effect and a little chapstick kind of plumps them up and conditions them...this is a "no fuss, no makeup on my eyes but they look incredible" look. Be careful to apply the chapstick from mid-shaft to ends only. I know this sounds a bit unconventional but it works and who doesn't have chapstick in their purse?
2) The Glamorous Look ~ If you want a more glamorous look, you can simply put a little mascara on and really emphasize the corners with a bit extra mascara...very attractive.
3) Conditioning ~ At night when you take your makeup off, apply just a little bit of vaseline mid-shaft to ends to condition them while you sleep...they look gorgeous in the morning. Don't go overboard with application...just a little bit goes a long way and this really keeps your lashes shiny and moisturized and won't break the wallet.
