Coffin, almond, what do nail shapes mean?! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Nails, Prép Beauty Parlour

Whether you’re a regular at manicures or are looking for nail inspiration on instagram, you’ve probably heard the terms… coffin nails, almond nails, stiletto nails and more… but what if you’re not fully immersed in the world of beauty (or even if you are!) it can be confusing to keep up with all the new trends and know the meanings to all these words. Here is a little cheat sheet you can use to show your nail technician for you next appointment, use as some nail inspiration, or just to learn a little more!

What are terms like coffin nails, almond nails and stiletto nails even referring to?

These are all describing the shape of the nail! At Prép we work with gel extensions, and after your nail technician has crafted the extension she can now shape the nail to whatever suits your preferences.

Stiletto nails

Stiletto nails are very fierce! They are typically long and pointy… looking something similar to this gel extension set done by Kiyomi! Stiletto’s are a shape that you do need to have long nails for, so most ladies usually get their gel extensions shaped like this and it is less common for your natural nails to be shaped this way! (Unless you have very long and strong natural nails!).

Coffin nails or Ballerina nails

Coffin/ ballerina nails are Kylie Jenner’s signature nail style and by far the most popular shape! They slightly squared but tapered at the ends which elongates your hands and makes them look longer. They also add some extra room for nail art, if that’s your thing!

Almond nails

Almond nails are also quite popular and they resemble what they sound like… almonds! This shape is more rounded compared to the coffin nails (and especially compared to the stiletto nails) but are still tapered at the end unlike “rounded nails” (that’s coming up!).  Almond nails look more natural and don’t require super long nails… you still need some length but you can wear them on your natural nails!

Square nails

 

Square nails look exactly how they sound like… square! They are the same as coffin nails, except they aren’t tapered at the ends.

Round nails

Rounded nails are the most natural nail shape you can get! They work perfectly with either long nails or short nails, on gel extensions or on natural nails.

EyEnvy FAQ

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

You may have heard lot’s about “EyEnvy” recently… but what exactly is it and how does it work? Keep reading to have all your questions answered!

Q: What is EyEnvy?

EyEnvy is a lash (and brow) growth serum. The end looks like a flimsy eyeliner brush which you

use to apply on your lash line.

Q: How do you use EyEnvy?

To apply EyEnvy, first you want to shake the bottle a few times. Next, wipe off any excess product on the rim about 3 times; this will make sure you have just the perfect amount as you don’t want too much! Next, apply the product on your lash line (just like an eyeliner) and do so for both eyes. Important note! Make sure to not double dip between the two eyes. For the first 3 months, use EyEnvy everyday in the morning. After 3 months, use it every other day just to maintain your results.

Q: Why does EyEnvy need to be used in the morning?

Studies have shown that using EyEnvy in the morning decreases the chance that you will have any sensitivity to the product.

Q: When will I see results?

You should start to see results in 4-6 weeks. Full results will be achieved in 3 months. The trick is to use it everyday for the best results! After you have your luscious long lashes in 3 months, use EyEnv

y every other day to make sure you maintain your perfect lashes.

Q: How long will one bottle last?

Prép carries the larger bottle (3.5mL). This bottle will last you about 6-12 months.

Q: How do you maintain results?

After you have your full results in 3 months, make sure to use EyEnvy every other day to maintain!

Q: Can you use mascara/makeup with EyEnvy?

Yes you can! Just allow 1-2 minutes for the EyEnvy to dry first and then go ahead!

Q: Is EyEnvy safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

It is recommended to not use EyEnvy when pregnant or breastfeeding since the effects haven’t been tested.

Q: Can you use EyEnvy while wearing lash extensions?

Yes you can! Just make sure to wait at least 48 hours after your lash re-fill or full set before using EyEnvy. It’s great to use EyEnvy while you have your extensions on because your natural lashes will be growing and healthy while you still have your extensions on! How full your eyelash extensions can be depends on the natural state of your lashes. Longer and fuller lashes means you can get fuller lash extension sets as well!

Q: Can you use EyEnvy with contact lenses?

Yes! Just wait 15 minutes after you applied EyEnvy to put in your contacts.

Q: What are the ingredients in EyEnvy?

Water (Aqua), Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17, Butylene Glycol, Dextran, Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Glycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate, Leuconostroc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Polysorbate 20, Gluconolactone, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Yeast Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, PCA, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Glycine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Isoleucine, Proline, Threonine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arctostaphylosa Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract, Magnisium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Sodium, Metabisulfite, Triethanolamine.

Q: Where can I buy some EyEnvy?

Time for your beauty appointment? How to get on our waitlist now! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

It’s about time for that manicure, lash re-fill, brow appointment, or just about anything beauty! As we do our job to stay closed and allow the COVID-19 pandemic curve to fall, we are preparing for our (hopeful near future!) re-opening! The health and safety of both our client’s and staff will be our highest priority, and with that we will be implementing steps to ensure that everyone is kept safe. ♡

♡Why create a waitlist?

We have had tons of inquiries recently! Although we aren’t sure when we will be re-opening, we know that once we do, we will have to take extra precautions to make sure everybody visiting the salon is safe. Some things we will be implementing (for example, booking extra time in-between clients to make sure our technicians have time to wash their hands and sanitize their stations), we will need some extra time. We want to make sure we can get everybody in for their appointments in a timely manner once we re-open, so a waitlist will help us to do just that!

♡How do I get my name on the waitlist?

To get your name on the waitlist, you can either call or text us at 604-764-6452 or click here

EyeEnvy lash serum

By | Eyelashes, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

Taking a break from your eyelash extensions during the COVID-19 crisis? We love and miss doing lash extensions at Prép… but we have just the solution for you!

EyEnvy helps grow both your lashes and your brows… EyEnvy is a lash growth serum that helps grow your natural lashes so they are healthier, thicker, stronger and the best part… longer! You will see results after 3-4 weeks.

How to use it:

Apply the serum everyday in the morning for the first 3 months. Make sure to shake the bottle a few times before applying, and wipe off any excess on the rim (you don’t want too much!). Next, apply one thin layer onto your lash line, and wipe off any excess off your skin. Repeat for the other eye. For the first 3 months, use it everyday in the morning and then every other day after the initial 3 months to maintain your results.  You will start to see results within 3-4 weeks of use!

 

Why do we love EyEnvy so much? We were one of the first’s salon’s to carry EyEnvy 10 years ago… we have had incredible results with it on ourselves and our client’s since.

Check out some of the results…

The first photo is pictured after a Yumi lash lift and tint, the keratin aftercare gel was applied, giving it a “wet” look.

Mika (the owner of Prép) is currently doing contact-free home deliveries of EyEnvy during the pandemic! Contact us at 604-764-6452 for more information on EyEnvy and how you can purchase your own. We hope everybody is staying inside and staying safe. We cannot wait until we can be back to lashing away!
