“We do not offer the cheapest eyelash extensions in Las Vegas, just the BEST ........... and you are worth it!”
Las Vegas eyelash extensions are available everywhere in Vegas and there are so many different kinds. What are the best extensions? What is the difference between them? How do I pick the best eyelash extension for me?
Let us do an eyelash extension review of the most common Las Vegas eyelash products.
Most clients get confused with all the eyelash extension hype. So here is some basic information about individual eyelashes.
First, do not confuse brand names with the product type. Novalash, Xtreme, Hollywood, Lavish and a variety of other manufacturers make extensions and adhesives. These are just brand names and this article does not endorse a single brand. Instead lets discuss the actual product itself, specifically the actual extension eyelash.
There are a variety of individual eyelash extensions including synthetics, silk, mink and human hair. Each has a unique benefit and weakness as well.
1. Synthetic (plastic synthetic) – Pro: They come in every desired length and curl
and diameter (thickness). They are the least expensive and are widely available and
the most common lash used in Las Vegas. You get maximum drama with plastic synthetics.
Con; Very hard, not too much flex, heavy, cause damage if not very well maintained,
do not last very long and require frequent fills. They tend to lift, flip around
and lean to one side or the other as they grow out because of their heavy weight.
2.
Synthetic (poly-fiber or poly-fiber blend AKA faux mink) – Pro: Like plastic synthetic,
these come in every length and curl but have more flex and are a bit more natural
looking. Some have called this higher quality synthetic eyelash extension a MINK.
It is not mink at all and can not compare. Con: They require fills more frequent
like plastic synthetics.
3. Human Hair: Pro: The cuticle is helpful in bonding and
they hold on quite well. They are soft and very natural looking, available in various
lengths and curls. Con: They mainly come out of Korea and a harvested off cutting
room floors. The do not hold their curl. Some hairs go straight while others keep
their curl when washed a few times. They do not require very frequent fills but can
look singed as they age.
4. Silk: (silk blend or poly-fiber, is sometimes called silk)
Pro: They are quite soft and flexible. They come in all lengths and curls and hold
well. Fills are not required as often as synthetics. They are light and hold well.
They can look natural or applied for drama. Con: They don’t provide as much drama
as plastic synthetics and are more vulnerable to kinking.
5. Mink (authentic fur):
Pro: Very light weight lash, longest lasting, attractive and natural looking. It
is like wearing feathers. Ultra comfortable and fills are usually only recommended
4-5 weeks. Con: Not available in many Las Vegas eyelash extension salons, often imitated
and mink is a more expensive eyelash extension.
*Keep in mind that heavy extensions with less flex are more likely to cause damage to your natural eyelashes. More length and weight = more maintenance or fills.
*No matter how great your eyelash extension product is, your technicians skill is what really makes a great set of eyelash extensions.
* Longest lasting eyelash extensions are the lightest in weight and you are less likely to have damage to your natural eyelashes.
Also Flares are not eyelash extensions. They do not look, feel or last like real individual extensions. Some clients do not have very many natural eyelashes and prefer flares. Fares have to be soaked off and reapplied every week or two so they do not cause damage.
Adhesive Myths:
FDA APPROVED?
There is not a single eyelash extension glue or adhesive that is FDA approved. Some manufactures lead you to believe that their glue is FDA approved when really their glue is simply with in FDA guidelines for not having more than 2% formaldehyde as a preservative. It is simple, most cosmetics in the USA contain preservatives and many use formaldehydes. This includes your shampoos, makeup and various other products. Many dry cleaners use formaldehyde. Some people have an allergy to formaldehyde and it could cause a reaction to the eyelash extension adhesive. So, many extension companies manufacture adhesives that do not contain it but not a single eyelash extension glue has an FDA approval.
Is the adhesive “surgical grade”?
Eyelash extension adhesives are not used in surgery or used to glue soft tissue on humans. This is another silly marketing tactic. Please ask what medical facility or organisation is using the eyelash glue in a medical procedure if you are told this rubbish. Adhesive produced for medical applications has some similarities and may share an ingredient or two with eyelash extension adhesives but it is doubtful that if the local hospital runs out of surgical glue that they will reach for some eyelash glue.
The fact is, eyelash extension adhesive is supposed to be applied to eyelash hair. It is not to be applied to the skin like surgical glue. Any time a technician uses too much glue or poorly applies the extensions so the glue contacts the skin, there are going to be issues. This stuff is strong. It has to be to use so very little of it and still have the holding strength to last as long as it does. It is supposed to be expertly applied by a licensed, experienced technician so no glue comes in contact with the skin.
Safe, quality glue is important but no matter how safe the manufacturer claims the glue is, it is the skill of the lash artist that ensures ultimate safety, quality and comfort. Adhesive is important but the best adhesive doesn't ensure an excellent eyelash experience, that experience is in the hands of the technician.
