volume lashes, cat eye style

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up with effortlessly full, long lashes, lash extensions at Prep Beauty Parlour might be the answer. With so many different styles and techniques available, lash extensions can be customized to achieve any look. From subtle enhancement to dramatic glam.

Here’s an in-depth look at the different types of lash extensions, so you can find the style that’s perfect for you.

The first step would be to decide which type of lash extensions you want. There is classic, mixed and volume. This is the difference between how many individual extensions are glued to each of your natural eyelashes.

Classic Lash Extensions $99 full set

Classic lash extensions are the go-to for a natural, beautiful look. This method involves applying one extension to each of your natural lashes, creating a look that’s full yet subtle. Ideal for those who already have a good amount of natural lashes, classic extensions add length and a slight boost in volume.

  • Best for: Those looking for a natural, enhanced look.
  • Pros: Low maintenance, natural-looking.
  • Cons: Limited in terms of volume and fullness, may look sparse on people with thin natural lashes.

Mixed Lash Extensions $165 full set

Mixed lash extensions are a blend of classic and volume lashes, combining the best of both worlds. This style is achieved by mixing single classic lashes with fans of volume lashes, resulting in a textured, full, yet natural look. Hybrid lashes are popular for those who want more volume than classics provide but aren’t ready for the full drama of volume lashes.

  • Best for: Anyone wanting a fuller yet natural look.
  • Pros: Customizable, provides a natural but voluminous appearance.
  • Cons: Slightly more expensive than classic extensions, requires skilled application

Volume Lash Extensions $ 195 full set

Volume lash extensions take things a step further by applying multiple lightweight lash extensions to each natural lash. Depending on the number of extensions used, volume lashes create a fluffy, voluminous look. Volume lashes are perfect for clients who have sparse natural lashes but want a fuller effect.

  • Best for: Those looking for a more dramatic, glamorous look.
  • Pros: Great for adding fullness, highly customizable.
  • Cons: Requires a bit more maintenance, can be heavier on the natural lashes if not done correctly.

 

The next step is to choose what design or style you would like. This is the difference of the lengths and curl of the lash extensions.

Cat Eye Lash Extensions

Cat eye lash extensions focus on enhancing the outer corners of the eye by using longer extensions toward the outer lashes. This creates a lifted, almond-shaped effect. Cat eye lashes are popular for people with rounder eyes or for those wanting a sultry, winged look.

  • Best for: Those wanting an elongated, winged look.
  • Pros: Accentuates the eye shape, flattering for many eye shapes.
  • Cons: Not ideal for all eye shapes; can look droopy on downturned eyes.

Doll Eye Lash Extensions

Doll eye extensions involve placing longer extensions in the centre of the eyelid to create a wide-eyed, doll-like look.This style opens up the eyes, making them appear larger and rounder, which is perfect for individuals with smaller or hooded eyes.

  • Best for: People with smaller or hooded eyes, or anyone wanting an “open-eyed” look.
  • Pros: Creates the illusion of larger eyes, great for round eyes.
  • Cons: Not ideal for already round eyes; can create an overly dramatic look if not balanced.

Wispy Lash Extensions

Wispy lash extensions are characterized by their textured, uneven look, where certain lashes are intentionally placed longer than others. This technique mimics the look of strip lashes, creating a staggered, messy, and highly textured style.

  • Best for: Anyone wanting a bold, textured look.
  • Pros: Edgy, highly customizable, mimics the look of strip lashes.
  • Cons: Needs skilled application for the best results, may require more maintenance.

 

How to Choose the Right Lash Extension for You

When deciding on a lash extension type, consider your eye shape, natural lash thickness, and the kind of look you want. Classic extensions work well for anyone wanting a natural boost, while volume, and hybrid lashes can add drama and fullness. Specialty shapes like cat eye or doll eye styles can enhance eye shape for a unique effect.

Lash extensions offer a world of possibilities for enhancing your look. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a red-carpet-ready glam, there’s a lash extension style to fit your needs. With the right type of lash, you’ll enjoy beautiful, hassle-free lashes that are tailored to your style.

Microblading special! Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Already spend too much time getting ready in the morning? Makeup feeling like a hassle? Brows definitely do shape the face and are you finding yourself spending too long on them in the mornings? Tired of filling in your eyebrows everyday? Cut a significant portion of time out of your morning routine by getting your brows microbladed!

What is microblading?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent brow tattooing. But don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt!

How is microblading different than a tattoo?

Microblading uses tiny fine point needles to create hair like strokes to create a realistic look instead of using a tattoo gun. This also means that it is semi-permanent and you don’t have to be “stuck” with the same brows forever! (for those that are a bit nervous). Unlike tattooing, it’s just on the surface on the skin and will fade in around 18 months without any touch-ups.

Does it hurt?

Nope! We use a numbing treatment at the beginning of your appointment so you won’t feel any pain during the appointment.

How long does microblading last?

About 18 months. You’ll need to come back every 6 months or so after for touch-ups to upkeep your brows.

Can I choose the shape of my brows?

Yup! Take a look at some examples below:

How much does microblading cost?

We have a special going on now with Samira! The cost of microbalding is normally $600 but it is currently $450 for a limited time. Give us a call at 604-764-6452 to reserve your spot. Offer expires December 2020.

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.
