Bridal Lash Extensions Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, On Location, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

Lash extensions make wedding prép easy and looks effortless during your honeymoon! Haven’t had lashes before but are curious about how it works?

If you have not had lash extensions before we do recommend coming in 1 month prior and receiving a new set of lashes, then booking a lash fill approximately 3-4 days prior to wedding (or a week max if leaving before hand for destination wedding) incase you would like to make your set more dramatic or less!

We offer 3 different Full lash set’s including classic, mixed and 3D/ russian volume… Confused on which is best? Well there is no right or wrong answer, begin with picking a full-ness (classic is 1 lash per natural lash, 3D/ russian volume is 3 lashes per natural lash and a mixed set is a mix of classic & 3d/russian volume). Once you have picked how full you would like the lashes to be book in for that set, when you come in for your appointment you will customize the length, shape and thickness of the lashes with your master lash tech from Prép Beauty Parlour!

We suggest taking a few screen shots of lashes you like from our Instagram photos and bringing those in with you for your consultation. Do you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions? Don’t worry.. We offer FREE ALLERGY TESTING! An allergy test takes roughly 5-10 minutes, a master lash tech will apply some adhesive to your skin or a gel pad if needed. Wait 24 hours then call us to either make an appointment or if any type of reaction occurs to come in and have it checked.

Prép Beauty Parlour is located at 1054 Hornby Street in beautiful downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. We specialize in nails, eyelash extensions, waxing, massages, facials, event/bridal hair & makeup. We’d love to hear from you! Email inquiries to info@prepbeautyparlour.com. Call us at 604-764-6452.

Did You Know Baby Shampoo Damages Your Lash Extensions?

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

Why shouldn’t i use baby shampoo to clean my lashes if I can clean my brushes with it?

Baby Shampoo

Baby Shampoo

Baby shampoo is inexpensive and you can purchase it at any local grocery store however it is not a professional product and its not recommended for use on lash extensions. It will clean the lashes however the sulphates will breakdown the glue faster, which means lash fills may become a weekly trip.

Did you know baby shampoo contains fragrance, artificial colours and mineral oils? Oil is a big “NO NO” for lashes and can even cause all the extensions to come off of your natural lashes, Oil free baby shampoo also has a added numbing agent “no more tears formula” which will also cause pre mature shedding. Using professional lash extension cleansers such as FacEnvy will prolong and strengthen your lash extensions and natural lashes!

Youngblood Luxury Cosmetics | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Pauline’s Story:
Pauline Youngblood was a paramedical aesthetician to dermatologists and plastic surgeons, since her time as a medical aesthetician she founded Youngblood Cosmetics in 1996 and is president of the company.

“The concept of mineral makeup was great, but the quality was missing,”  “The colors weren’t realistic; they were too pink or orange, and they looked artificial.” Pauline says.

Pauline worked with chemists to create a makeup line that would cover raw, inflamed or discolored skin, while allowing it to breathe and heal. More than 15 years later, Pauline’s Natural Mineral Foundation is the flagship product, and Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics is now a complete line, offering dozens of products in a comprehensive palette of shades with realistic skin tones and beautiful, natural finishes. Youngblood continues to create top-quality products that are innovative in both formulation and packaging.

Why Mineral Makeup?
A mineral is an inorganic solid substance that occurs naturally in rocks and in the ground.When used in cosmetics, these micronized crystals reflect light to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and blemishes. Did you know mineral makeup does not support growth of bacteria or micorobes and provides natural sun protection?

Ingredients:

Although many mineral lines claim to be “jet-milled” or “triple-milled,” not all milling processes achieve superior results and, oftentimes, result in potentially dangerous ultra-fine particles known as nanoparticles. Youngblood does not use nanoparticles in its formulas.
