1. How and when did you become interested in the lash styling?

In 2007 while working in a spa as a nail tech, the owner of the spa offered the opportunity to become a lash stylist to one of the hairdressers.  She had no interest so I took the initiative and opportunity for myself. I trained myself for a month before taking the class.

2. For someone who has never received lash extensions, what can they expect when they come to Envious Lashes? 

At Envious Lashes each service begins with an in-depth consultation. Our stylists assess the clients eye shape, depth and length as well as the texture and condition of the natural lashes. We also look at their coloring and ask about their lifestyle and the look they want to achieve. Once a desired look is agreed upon, the stylists suggest the set or sets that will create the look our clients want. We usually offer two different options that will fit the clients budget. The process takes anywhere between one to two hours depending on the stylist and set being applied. Once the set is complete we discuss all after-care procedures which include frequency of touch ups (ever 2-3 weeks), avoiding wetting the lashes for the first 48 hours, proper cleaning of eyelashes using our specially formulated cleanser and maintaining the health of the eyelashes with the use of our conditioner.

3. In your view, what lash and brow styles will be trending in the future?

An exaggerated cat eye shape continues to be the most desired trend and will definitely still be for 2017.  Another trend we can expect to see is bottom lash extensions which create a more balanced and finished look. Our clients want a complete look without having to spend any time applying makeup and we are able to accomplish this for them with these services.
