WebMD on Eyelash ExtensionsI love WebMD. Here's what they say about Eyelash Extensions. Salt City Lashes approves this article :) FYI we have save glues that are formaldehyde-free and medical grade. We get all of our products from ExtensionsForEyelashes.com who buys direct from the manufacture.
^^^^^^^ The 411 on Eyelash Extensions Tempted to invest in these luscious add-ons? Here's how to do it right. By Sonya Collins Reviewed by Mohiba Tareen, MD WebMD Magazine - Feature If you're like most women, mascara is a key item in your makeup bag. Some 65% of us whisk it on our lashes in hopes of making them look longer and fuller. But do you ever wish your lashes were just longer and fuller to begin with? Your wish might be granted: Eyelash extensions are a growing trend at spas and salons. "Extensions look beautiful when they're done right. They completely eliminate all need for mascara," says Sophy Merszei, founder and CEO of NovaLash, a Texas-based company that certifies eyelash technicians. Eyelash extensions are individual lashes, made of a synthetic fiber such as nylon, which a professional glues one by one to each of your top lashes. "It is one of the hardest beauty procedures for a cosmetologist to learn. It's like microsurgery," Merszei says. Using long, pointed tweezers, the tech brushes a single synthetic lash in a dab of adhesive. With another pair of tweezers, she separates the natural lashes to isolate just one. She places the synthetic lash on the natural lash, holding it for a few seconds while the glue bonds. The tech repeats the process, one lash at a time, attaching 40 to 100 lashes per eye. The tech will use several lengths of lashes, attaching the longest artificial lashes to your longest natural lashes. Eyelash extensions last a few weeks to 2 months and fall out when your natural lashes do. "You should still have 50% of the extensions remaining after 30 days. Then all you need is a little touch-up once a month on the regrowth," Merszei says. Find a Good Eyelash Extension Technician Eyelash extensions are relatively new in the United States. The FDA does not regulate the products, and Texas is the only state that regulates the industry. "Individuals need to advocate for themselves. Is the facility clean and neat? Are the technicians well trained? Does the facility have a good reputation?" says Philip R. Rizzuto, MD. He's an eye doctor and communications secretary for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Merszei recommends you first choose a national brand that certifies technicians, and then find a technician in your area. That way, you can research the training, the products, and who can buy the products. Some brands sell only to licensed beauty or health professionals, so if a salon uses that product, its techs have credentials. "We get calls and emails every week from people who end up in the doctor's office," Merszei says, "because they had a poorly trained technician." Unqualified techs might apply lashes to the eyelid instead of the lash, which can cause irritation or even serious injury. Or they might apply several lash extensions to one natural lash, causing lashes to fall out prematurely from the weight. Some may glue strips of false lashes to clients' eyelids with permanent adhesive. All of these are dangerous, improper techniques. Find a Good Eyelash Extension Technician continued... "The technician should go through all the risks and benefits of having eyelash extensions" before applying them, Merszei says. The technician should also ask about any conditions you may have that would make eyelash extensions unsuitable for you. Online, you'll find a lot of conflicting information about formaldehyde in eyelash adhesives. Many adhesives do contain at least trace amounts, as do many cosmetics, including some mascaras. A small percentage of people are allergic to the chemical. Some brands offer adhesives with formaldehyde levels too low for a lab test to detect or trace amounts below the maximum the FDA recommends for cosmetics. Many adhesives are intended specifically for sensitive clients. Seek brands that openly share this information."I'm not here to talk people out of getting eyelash extensions. But not everybody is a good candidate," Merszei says. "I've had mine on for about 9 years now. I just keep touching them up, and I love them." Eyelash Extension Tips Rizzuto offers these pointers for readers interested in eyelash extensions. Don't confuse semi-permanent eyelash extensions with a surgical eyelash transplant -- a procedure that only a doctor can do. Eyelash extensions are a spa or salon procedure that takes 2 to 3 hours for the first application, which can run from $150 to $600, depending on your location. Monthly touch-ups range from $50 to about $65.Look for a salon that uses medical-grade adhesive, like the type used to close wounds in lieu of stitches. Choose a brand that discloses ingredients. Many companies post safety and toxicity reports on their web sites or provide them upon request. "The biggest concern with regard to eyelash adhesive is whether a person is sensitive or allergic to anything in the glue," Rizzuto says. "She should ask what type of adhesive is used and what the ingredients are. Then she can assess whether or not she may be allergic to any of the ingredients."

Yet Another Reason to Hate Mascara and Just Get Eyelash Extensions From Salt City Lashes!Articles like this make so glad that I get eyelash extensions at Salt City Lashes in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Is your mascara blinding you? Women at severe risk from eye infections using cosmetics that are TEN years out of date (despite use-by date of just four months)
PUBLISHED: 07:21 EST, 22 September 2014 | UPDATED: 09:34 EST, 22 September 2014 It may boost lashes and hide signs of fatigue but your mascara could be wreaking havoc with your eyesight. A new survey has revealed that British women are putting themselves at severe risk of eye infections by using mascara that is up to ten years out of date. Unbeknown to many of us, mascara has a four month use-by date but, according to new research, 70 per cent of women regularly use mascara and eyeliner for much longer than that. Beware the mascara! A new study shows that some eye make-up expires after four months but many women continue using it and put themselves at risk of serious eye infection Researchers also found that two thirds use mascara which is over a year old and some women continue using the same mascara for up to ten years, with one fifth not even realising that make-up has a use-by date.

Breeding bacteria: Specialists warn that if mascara smells, you should stop using it and because it's applied so close to the eye, it puts women at serious risk of eye infection Consultant ophthalmic surgeon Anna Maino said: 'It’s worrying that so many use old eye products well past the use-by date, sometimes 10 years out of date.' Sharing her advice for avoiding any infection, she warned: 'They should look for a small open jar symbol with a number showing how many months it should be used once opened. 'We are urging all women to check their make-up bags. Then they should do their eyes a favour and get rid of anything that’s out of date, especially if it smells. 'Cosmetics normally contain preservatives to help prevent bacteria growth but storing them in a hot place will make it easy for bacteria to thrive. 'Get into good make-up hygiene habits by sharpening eye pencils between applications, washing brushes regularly and turning out old make-up.' WHEN TO THROW AWAY MAKE-UP Mascara and liquid eyeliner – discard after four months Liquid foundation and creamy eye shadow – discard after six months Powder eye shadow – 12 months Pencil eyeliner, lip liner, powder blusher/bronzer – can last up to two years but don’t share!

What Are Volume Lashes?If you haven't heard about Volume Lashes yet, you're in for a treat!
You know that feeling you get when you get a fresh set of lashes and it feels so great because you look amazing!!? Well, imagine that feeling PLUS you feel great because you don't even feel like you have extensions on! Seriously! Volume Eyelash extensions are a serious game changer in the industry of individual eyelash extensions. The technique involves your lash artist meticulously applying several (2-9) ultra thin eyelash extensions to each individual natural eyelash. Depending on what thickness you choose to use, you can achieve incredible volume, unobtainable through even the fullest set of classic eyelash extensions, or you can achieve a seemingly weightless set of the most natural looking, full eyelashes you've ever seen. Are you familiar with the "stiff" "crunchy" feeling of classic eyelash extensions? No more. With Volume lashes, your eyelash extensions will be super flexible and are hardly noticeable throughout the day. You will be amazed at what a difference there is in appearance and wear. Lucky for you, Salt City Lashes offers volume eyelash extensions for the same price that many of our competitors charge for classic sets from their "master" lash artists. At Salt City Lashes we only allow professionals to provide services, and we consider all of our artists to be masters of the same level. You should never feel like you are getting lesser service because you can't afford a higher "level" or "tier" of lash artist. Call us today or book online for a set or fill of volume lashes! Volume Full Set $150 Volume Fill $ 60 Full set of 1/2 Classic and 1/2 Volume Lashes $135 Do you own or work at a salon looking to add individual eyelash extensions to your list of services?

Salt Lake Magazine Feature!Two days ago I was contacted by Salt Lake Magazine. They asked to interview me and feature Salt City Lashes in their Local Business section of their website! This was very exciting! Here is the article for your viewing pleasure!
Local Business Spotlight: Salt City Lashes Sep 17th 2014 Photo courtesy of Salt City Lashes Rachel Coplin, owner of Salt City Lashes, recently ventured into the world of small-business ownership, opening her eyelash studio in the Salt Lake Design Center in July. Having worked for other studios, she struggled with the sometimes unprofessional attitudes and blanket services many provide. “As the owner, I can now control the quality of service and the quality of products that come into my business,” she says. Coplin, who has a background in fine art, looks at her work as an eyelash artist as “a kind of creative outlet." While she acknowledges the fact there are a lot of other companies offering lash services, she says her artistic approach and passion for quality sets her studio apart. Another plus: Salt City Lashes offers only eyelash services, so you won't be pushed into waxing, cleansing or massaging more out of your wallet. Coplin wants every client to have a memorable experience at her studio and works hard to personalize each set of lashes. “We consider the shape of the clients' eyes and their facial features,” she says. Coplin and her two Salt City Lashes employees will ask clients about their personal styles, if they have a special event coming up, and whether they prefer a natural or more glam look. “We can even tell a lot by just looking at them,” Coplin explains. A Salt City Lashes employee might notice a client wearing heavier makeup, bright colors or bold statements, and suggest a thicker or longer set of lashes. Wether you're prepping for a night out or just tired of the struggle that is clumping mascara, add some volume to your set at Salt City Lashes. Is it weird that I get enjoyment from reading articles about mascara and making your eyes pop that encourage you to do things I hate? It makes so me so happy to be in the profession that I am in.
If you get your eyelash extensions from Salt City Lashes in Salt Lake City, you know exactly what I'm talking about. 8 Tricks for Thicker, Longer Lashes September 15, 2014 | By Vanessa Elese, Fox News Magazine Photo: Getty Images Fluffy, flirty and fabulous—those are the words we all love to hear when talking about our lashes. Just how do we achieve plush, dramatic lashes on a daily basis without the expense of falsies or the time-consuming commitment of extensions? Here are my favorite daily alternatives to achieve amazing lashes in mere minutes: Choose the right brush Fuller wands create big, bold lashes, all while adding dimension and richness. I love Maybelline Full ‘N Soft ($6.49) because it builds healthy, lush lashes without the uncomfortable brittle feeling. Plus, it prevents loss of lashes by being simple enough to remove at the end of the day. No tugging here! The smaller the wand, the greater the discovery I love to create the perfect enviable lash by pairing two mascaras: one with a small brush to capture the “itty bitties” that often go untouched by your regular mascara wand; and then a larger, full-bristled wand to extend, lengthen and thicken the rest of your lash line. For instantaneous drama, check out Eyeko Lengthening Skinny Brush Mascara Long & Tall ($19), which features a slim design that grabs and separates the tiniest lashes. It also locks in color for 12 hours. Application is everything Make sure you are maximizing your assets with your formula of choice. Begin at your lash base, wiggle back and forth, and then continue wiggling as you extend along the length of your lash. Repeat. You will create the illusion of a thicker lash line with each application. This is a great mid-afternoon pick-me-up to revive your look and refresh your lash line without adding another glop of mascara—a major fashion no-no. And fortunately, nearly any brush can create this effect. Fill with fiber When it comes to making lashes appear fuller, I look out for formulas that feature synthetic fibers, which help plump your natural lash line by filling in any gaps and extending your natural lash length, which equals volume and sculpted perfection. My pick is L’Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes ($8.99). It offers an angled brush, which creates the illusion of falsies with a creamy formula that also defines curls. Moisturize A moisturizing formula not only gives you doll-like lashes, but it can also repair and hydrate, and it’s especially helpful if you’re looking to create volume and give your beauties a treatment. I like Talika Eyelash Lipociles ($21), a conditioning gel that promises to intensify your natural color, curl with ease, and keep lashes silky smooth. Fill the line One tip I live by with all of my clients? Apply a liner by wiggling directly into your lashes to fill the in-betweens. This trick easily creates the appearance of a naturally fuller lash line. I recommend Make Up For Ever AQUA Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil ($19) because it’s creamy, offers a rich color, and stays put for hours. Make sure you pick a natural shade to enhance your features, such as 25L-Matte Brown, OL-Matte Black or 24L-Taupe. Also, a very small top lid liner creates an eye-opening effect. For this, try dotting a waterproof eyeliner directly on top of your lash line in either dark brown or black, then sweep a brush across it to smudge the line. Curl those lashes No matter which mascara or brush you use, always curl those lashes before you head out the door. This a quick eye-opening trick that refreshes any look by adding a youth-defying curl and an instant awakening effect. Have a swanky soiree to attend after work? Simply refresh your look by curling them once more. And remember, be gentle with your lashes—it should never hurt! Comb out For the appearance of falsies, I like to comb through lashes prior to applying mascara with a spoolie brush ($1.99). Remember that eyelashes, just like any type of hair, can get oily, grimy, and bunch together. Start with clean and thoroughly dried lashes. Separate the hairs with a spoolie and then brush through once more after mascara has been applied to remove clumps. A clean lash keeps your eyes healthy and allows your lashes to look fuller.

Art of LashesI would like to start a series on this blog about the art of eyelash extensions. I have a background in art. I used to do drawing and painting before I had kids so I feel that I have an eye for shape, style and proportions. Look at this set of lashes, what do you see?
Clearly they are long, well placed and full. Kudos to the artist. Although... Here's what I see: There are no extensions at all on the inner 1/5th of the eyelid. That bothers me. I like to taper down and do as many lashes as I can so that the black long lash extensions don't just come to an immediate end. What else do I notice? The lash extensions are so long that they almost touch the lower line of the eyebrow. You need to carefully examine the size and shape of your client's feature before determining what length would be appropriate. At Salt City Lashes we do so much more than just glue individual eyelash extensions to your natural lashes. We create little works of art. We will help you find the perfect length, curl, and style to suit your style, features and personality. I still don't get why people are jumping on board the fiber mascara train like it's the newest and greatest thing... I still argue that no mascara, fiber or not, is half as good as a set of individual eyelash extensions from Salt City Lashes in Salt Lake City, Utah. Seriously... Don't believe me?
Check out this article by the dailymail in the UK. See before and after pics of fiber mascara, and then look at the comments. |
