All girls dream of that fairytale wedding, the flowers, the dancing, but most importantly, the wedding dress. A girl’s wedding day is pretty much her night as Cinderella!

On August 4th, a team of 4 talented Prép hair and makeup artists travelled to prep the bride, Angela for her magical day. We all had so much fun glamming her and her closest girlfriends up.

Take a look at her stunning smile and gorgeous dress!

Best YUMI™ Lash Treatment Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

YUMI Lash Lift Enhancement Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | YUMI

PREP LOGOSo you’ve heard about strip lashes, and lash extensions, but what about lash lifts?

We’ve discussed lash lifts a few times in the past, but we still get plenty of questions regarding the differences between the two lash lift services we offer, procedure, aftercare, etc. I know that when I get any special treatment, I love to read all about it! Even down to the ingredients they use! Are you the same? If so, let’s hop right into it!

First things first, a lash lift is not the same as lash extensions. It does not add length and does not require fills every 2-3 weeks. It is perfect for those lucky ladies with naturally long lashes that just point straight down. Or for those with many long lashes that are too heavy to stay in a curl. The answer to all your miseries? Yumi Keratin Lash Lift. Trust us, we’ve seen the results, and we’re in love! Essentially what the lash enhancing treatment does is bring out the best in your natural lashes. It will lift and curl your lashes so it stays perfectly curled for at least 6-8 weeks! (Of course, some of us have different lash cycles and thus, may affect the longevity of the lashes.) Interested in learning the process? Keep reading below!

If you’re a lover of lash extensions, then you’ll be very familiar with the first steps of the lash lift. Similarly, a gel pad is laid to prevent any of the lash tint to get into your eye. Certified Prép technicians will then apply a silicon bump to lay your lashes on. The sizes of the silicon bump can vary as it determines the curve and curl of your natural lashes. If you have shorter natural lashes, we would most likely used the smallest sized bump, if we use the largest one, your lashes would be flat (This is sometimes used in a procedure that relaxes the lash lift)!

During the YUMI Lash lift, your lashes will then get lifted and perming solution will be applied to each individual lash. The lashes now begin lifting/perming! A fixing solution is then apply over to hold the lashes onto the bump the proper amount of time. Lastly, the lash tint is applied to darken light lashes! Did you know that many brunettes often have blonde tips on their lashes? Tinting them help bring out the length!

Prép Beauty Parlour Grand Opening Party

Prép Beauty Parlour

After nearly 6 years of being at our old Hornby location, we had become one of the most populated salons in Downtown, Vancouver! Not only did we start to offer more services, we also began to house more talented artists! After a long and successful run at our Hornby location, Prép Beauty Parlour’s founder and Owner Mika decided to move us to a bigger and better space!

Without the support of many of our frequent and loving clients, we wouldn’t have been able to have expanded into such a beauty empire! So we would like to thank you all again!

Another special thanks to the many vendors who were generous enough to sponsor our grand opening event!

Top 5 Ways To Prép For your Dream Wedding With Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Eyelash Extensions, Makeup, On Location, Photography, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

Here are the Top 5 ways to prép for your dream wedding with Prép Beauty Parlour!

1.Facials As Early As Possible
A smooth and clear complexion is a must have on your wedding day! This look is completely achievable with a custom Eminence facial treatment; we recommend changing your skin routine at least 1 month prior to the wedding date. It is very important to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun with a minimum SPF of 15-30.

choco-facial2. Picture Ready Lash Extensions
Go for a natural or dramatic look with lash extensions by one of our master lash techs at Prép! Classic lashes (1 lash per natural lash except baby hair) are perfect to start. If you prefer more volume or a more dramatic look you have the option to fill them in with Russian volume before the big day.

3. Custom Sculptured gel nails
Every bride needs the perfect set of nails for those wedding ring close ups! If you have soft nails gel overlay (sculptured gel extensions) are highly recommended otherwise if your nails are strong, healthy and are you’re preferred length already then going with a gel polish manicure may be the way to go. You can customize your manicure with art, Swarovski crystals, chrome or a classic french to match your wedding theme.

4. Wax Everything
Never waxed before but want to give it a try? Start out with a french bikini leaving you shaped and clean without all the extra hassle or go full out with a brazilian. Eyebrow shaping will make or break your wedding day makeup, we suggest booking a few days before the wedding to make sure any redness has subsided. Don’t forget to take advantage of our upper lip & eyebrow shaping special ONLY $28! PS: Add a brow/lash tint for easy honey moon brow care.

download5. Bridal Packages For The Big Day
Book hair & makeup in advance as all of our professional hair/makeup artists are high in demand! Our most requested package is “The Complete Bride Package” which includes trials, strip/cluster lashes and of course hair and makeup on the big day. In case you didn’t know; you can add lash extensions into your package instead of strip/cluster lashes, our Prép team can travel to you as well if your wedding is not in downtown!

Save your lashes with Eyenvy Lash Conditioner

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

EYENVY Lash/Brow Conditioner

Eyenvy is a break through serum that provides length, fullness, thickness and darkness to your own natural lashes. It had the combinations of vitamins and strengthening peptides which creates the perfect cocktail that enhances the look of your natural eyelashes. Amongst it’s other products Eyenvy is an exclusive product only sold in spas and medical spas,  or salons. Don’t forget the eyebrows ladies! Your brows density always has room to improve, keep in mind if there is trauma such as scar tissue to the area the hair will not grow.

Everyone’s results may vary based on factors such as age, health and application efficiency. You may also achieve different results due to genetics, or if you are taking medication that affects your hormones. Typically most individuals start seeing results within 4-6 weeks, full results are achieved within 3 months. After daily use of EyEnvy for 3 months we recommend applying our conditioner every other day and for sensitive eyes apply the conditioner every third day.

A high percentage of irritation for most clients is due to overuse or over application of the product. If mild or moderate redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use of the product at least temporarily until symptoms resolve.
