There are a lot of myths out there about eyelash extensions.
From it being a painful process to the notion that your natural lashes will all fall out and cease to grow back ever again. As your trusted beauty experts we are here to try to set the record straight. We offer both lash extensions and lift and tint services so we see the process ourselves. If you have ever considered getting them done, read on! MYTH #1: Your eyelashes will fall out Honestly, your eyelashes fall out anyways. Most times you just don’t realize it because they’re small and fine, but our natural lashes fall out every four to six weeks just like the hairs on our head. Eyelash extensions only get a bad reputation because it’s more noticeable to spot natural eyelashes that have shed when they’re glued to long, thick, synthetic, and solid black fibers, and many don’t realize the process is normal and not a result of extensions. Myth #2: Your eyelashes will never grow back Your eyelashes will, in fact, grow back. How? Because of the lash shedding cycle, new natural eyelashes are always growing in, that's why you get "fills.” If new eyelashes weren’t always growing back, there would be nothing to fill. So, if eyelash extensions really made your eyelashes stop growing, refills wouldn’t even be possible, because there has to be a natural lash for the extension to adhere to. Myth #3: Eyelash extensions hurt Take it from Glaminators who have gotten them done several times: Nothing about the process hurts! It’s not a matter of tolerance levels; there simply is no pain involved in the eyelash extension process. If you are worried about someone using tweezers close to your eyes, you might feel anxiety, but pain is not part of the process. Myth #4: If you stop extensions your lashes will be thinner or shorter Getting eyelash extensions does not affect the natural growth cycle during or after you decide to stop getting them applied. Many feel that their natural lashes get thinner or shorter afterwards, but it's likely not the case. You get trained and used to waking up every day with thicker, dark, curled, longer lashes so, understandably, you think your eyelashes are thinner and shorter after the extensions have ended. In actuality, that is not the case and getting extensions has no chemical effect on the thickness or length of the lashes you were born with. Just like it was something you had to get used to when you first had them applied you'll also have to get used to not having them on again. That, or keep your extensions appointments. Myth #5: You must occasionally take breaks Many think that you have to take breaks from getting extensions in order to let your natural lashes breathe or redevelop. The idea that it’s not good to get repeated extensions because your eyelashes need breathing room is a mere myth. Your eyelashes wouldn't know that extensions are being applied to them, and they continue to shed off like normal, and a new natural lash will grow back, But it is completely up to you whether or not you wish to take a break. The only recommendation is to have your lashes applied by eye lash professionals. Myth #6: They take forever to be applied That depends on your definition of "forever." It can take forever if the lash technician you’re seeing is just starting out or is inexperienced and untrained. But eyelash professionals who fully specialize in eyelash extensions can perform a full set in just an hour. If you found this article helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

There are various roads you can take to achieve the perfect brow. Are you looking for something that will spare you from having to draw your brows every morning, but aren’t ready to commit to microblading yet? Our Elleebana Brow Henna is the perfect solution! Keep reading to find out the inside scoop on our Elleebana Brow Henna and why it is the perfect new service for you to take advantage of.
What is Brow Henna? Brow Henna is a form of tinting the eyebrows with a natural dye that stains the skin. The effect lasts 4-6 weeks for most who receive it. Brow henna is the perfect way to achieve a bolder, thicker brow How is Elleebana Brow Henna Different From Others? With a plethora of henna brows to choose from on the market, it can be hard to decide which one you should trust your brows to. In order to understand the difference between the products that are available to you, it is important that you understand the different types of henna that are used. What is henna? Henna is a plant that is used to make dye. It has been used for years to decorate the body. Henna in its original state takes many hours to oxidize and will only stain in shades of burgundy and red. Henna-based products in combination with other herbs can stain shades of yellow, brown and dark brown but still require hours of waiting. Different Kinds of Henna
Which Henna Should You Use? As new hennas hit the market, each new type tends to “one-up” the other. The longest-lasting and most time-efficient option to use on brows is powder henna. Powder henna can be used on anyone. It is perfect for people who have permanent makeup that will not be renewed, and for those who would like to achieve perfect temporary pigmentation of the skin and hair. Why Do We Use Elleebana Brow Henna? There is no shortage of companies producing powder henna for salons. The Elleebana Brow Henna color range consists of 7 colors that can be freely combined and mixed – giving us the ability to custom create the perfect color for each you! One of the unique features of Elleebana brow henna, confirming the unique nature of the product, is the use of ingredients that strengthen the effects of action. The “Not-So-Secret” Formula contains a high amount of active herbs in its unique composition. It also contains herbal medicine to effectively stimulate hair to grow again. Due to its stimulating growth, it is especially recommended for people who want to rebuild their eyebrows or stimulate dormant hair follicles. Indian gooseberry extract, contained in Elleebana henna powder, contains necessary fatty acids that strengthen the hair follicles, while giving the hair smoothness, shine and beautiful appearance. This extract also contains vitamin C, which can stop premature graying. Indian gooseberry extract wonderfully conditions the hair, while reducing problems with flaking of the epidermis, thus preventing the natural effect of henna drying the skin. Another reason we love it: the product is not tested on animals and has been classified as vegan. Henna Eyebrow Shaping At Glaminator Beauty Bar our ultimate goal is to create perfect eyebrows.

All these nuances make eyebrow shaping a procedure that is widely desired and ultimately most necessary.

Some of the most common questions from our (clients) aka Glam Friends were related to pre-waxing care, so, let's discuss 7 of the most relevant pre-waxing care tips.
1. Exfoliate Few people know how important exfoliation is for successful hair removal. Skin is always renewing its cells, but superficial old skin cells need some help to be removed. Dead skin cells keep skin dull and trap sprouting hairs (causing the dreaded in grown hairs). Exfoliated skin will be smoother and more prepared to receive waxing, so we recommend to exfoliate the area you plan to get waxed 24 or 48 hours in advance. It's important to exfoliate in advance – because if you do it on the same day of the appointment, your skin will be recently sensitized by the exfoliation, which might be too much added to the waxing. If you can make exfoliation a part of your daily skincare routine then you'll have even more skin benefits. Twice a week is a good place to start. We recommend a soft scrub to avoid irritation like our GBB Scrub. 2. Watch out for these Skin medication: medication for acne must be discontinued at least three months prior to a waxing appointment. This medication can cause skin to over-exfoliate, increasing the risk of skin ripping or lifting. Skin problems: if you suffer from acne, eczema, psoriasis or other skin issues, you should wait until you are in remission or avoid waxing altogether. Likewise, avoid waxing on scarred, irritated, injured or bruised skin. 3. Maintain your hygiene Bathe or shower before the procedure if possible. Try not to use harsh soaps/body washes with a lot of fragrance or colorings – and no hot water! – before the procedure, to keep allergies or adverse reactions at bay. When it comes to menstruation, it is advisable to book the appointment outside of period days. This is because menstruation makes you more sensitive to pain. 4. Wear loose clothing Tight clothes in synthetic fabrics are a no-no for waxing appointments. Arrive as comfortable as possible in loose clothing to avoid chafing and irritation. 5. Avoid heat, saunas, and sun exposure No saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds as it could irritate the skin, making waxing unpleasant or increasing the risk of skin lifting. If there is a sunburn on the area to be treated, then the depilation should be postponed until it has totally healed. Sun protection is important at all times, try to wear sunscreen post your waxing procedure. 6. Trimming is optional No need to trim. It's best if you leave that job to us, and of course, completely forgo from shaving before your appointment! 7. Know what to expect Upon arrival our Glaminators will walk you through the procedure that you've booked so and they'll also provide recommendations post your appointment.
