Prép Beauty Parlour Grand Opening Party

By Valerie Valentine | 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!

We are so, so grateful for being able to work with so many wonderful vendors!

We would also like to thank Suzane and her brilliant team at Granville Island Florists for donating all of the beautiful florals experienced by our guests this night!

As for our delicious cake and dessert table, we would like to thank Sheila from Pink Ribbon Bakery! We loved all of the delicious treats!

Preparing your lashes for the changing seasons

By mika mcinnes | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

Fall has officially arrived!! humid weather and not enough sun can definitely effect lash extension retention, this can be worrisome for clients! Keep reading to find out why the lashes shed when the seasons change.

Protection:
The biological purpose of hair is to protect us from the sun but we sometimes forget we need to keep our hair protected as well, during the fall months hair sheds much faster than normal and in bigger groups. Sun provides vitamin D and vitamin D is essential to hair growth but during the winter moths vitamin D is not always easily found, meaning our bodies are not absorbing as much as usual and hair loss during this time is imminent.

Vitamin D:
Lack of vitamin D will cause slower lash growth as our bodies are working extra hard to grow hair because the vitamin D is being shared in the body to fight off colds and other common illnesses during this time. Don’t forget to consult a doctor before adding any extra supplements into your diet routine.

Prevention:
Lash shedding season only lasts about 3 weeks! Try taking vitamin D vitamins from your local pharmacy and don’t book longer than 2-3 weeks for your lash fills during the season. You can also use Intelliseal to help protect the bonds and strengthen your natural lashes, or if you would like to take a “lash break” during this time try out Eyenvy to help your lashes grow longer than ever!

By mika mcinnes | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

FacEnvy is a great makeup remover for face & eye makeup, used with or without water to tackling the hardest makeup to remove. As for lash technicians, keep up with the latest technology in cleansing. It is soft enough to break down dirt & cleanse pores with leaving the skins softness intact, concentrated enough that 1 pump is all you need!

FacEnvy’s gel cleanser 2in1 has been designed to remove dead cells, makeup and protein build up around the eyes and eyelashes. This unique formula is paraben free and oil free, and makes it excellent for people with eyelash extensions (as it will not damage the glue). The enzymes from the papaya extract acts as a protein remover, as this is an important process to help your eyelashes stay healthy.

Younique Mascara | Prép Beauty Parlour

By mika mcinnes | Makeup, Prép Beauty Parlour

Younique is a vegan and gluten free 3D mascara that does not contain any harsh chemicals!

Let’s face it… who doesn’t want longer and thicker looking lashes? The mascara can multiply your lash length by X300 which is perfect for any one taking a “lash extension break” or if you have had allergic reactions to lash extensions.

How To Apply:

Apply a coat of any brand of mascara you have.
Apply an even coat of the “Transplanting Gel”.
Gently brush “Fibres” onto the lashes.
Seal the “Fibres” in with a final coat of the “Transplating Gel”.

Tips:

You can apply as many coats of the fibres & gel as you like as long as you seal the final coat with the translating gel.
Do one eye at a time as the gel and fibres apply easier when the base coat of mascara is still wet.
Use the “Younique Brush” to easily separate the lashes during application to go for a more natural look.
