Which set of lash extensions is right for me? Classic, flat, hybrid, volume lashes | Prép Beauty Parlour |

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Thinking about getting lash extensions? Save time in the mornings and achieve an effortless mascara look or a dramatic volume look with no hassle… but which set is right for you? From classic, royal, mixed, to volume sets- the terminology can get confusing… there is loads of flexibility in different looks you can achieve with each set! Keep reading to find out which set is right for you.

Classic lashes 

Classic eyelash extensions are one of our most popular sets. The most natural of the lash extensions, you can achieve a cute and light look using classics. Classic lashes a “1:1 ratio” meaning that one lash extension is applied per one natural lash… so it doubles the amount of lashes you currently have. For example, if you currently have 50 natural lashes, after a classic set of lashes you will have 100. With that being said, since one extension is applied per one natural lash, how full a classic set will look depends on your current lashes!

Better yet! Within each set of lashes, comes lots of flexibility with different shapes and lengths.  your lash technician will consult with you to create the shape and length you love. Classic lashes are perfect for ladies looking for a more natural or medium effect look.

Royal (flat) lashes

Royal or “flat” lashes are similar to classic lashes- they also have a 1:1 ratio. The difference, is the the shape of the royal lash is flat or concave. Because of the shape, a royal set of lashes will give the illusion that your lashes have more volume, without adding on the extra weight.

Royal lashes are perfect for ladies who would like a bit more volume than a classic set of lash extensions, but not quite wanting a hybrid or full volume set.

Classic x Volume Mixed sets (Hybrid lashes)

The next “level-up” in terms of volume are mixed or hybrid lash extensions. These lashes are a mix between 3-D and 1:1 lashes. The mix between classic and volume lashes leave you with a fuller, more glamorous look.

Mixed or hybrid sets are perfect for those who want more volume than a classic or royal set could give them, but aren’t quite ready for a full volume!

 

Volume lashes

Volume lashes! Fans vary between 3-D to 6-D… leaving you with full lashes. Volume lashes create a full look, but are also very lightweight- leaving you with a soft and fluffy result.

We love all these sets! From soft and natural, to long & volume, you can’t go wrong with a set of lashes.

More Marble Nails! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Nails

Marble nails is a trend  we’ve noticed taking over Instagram every day! It just looks so classy yet simple. Today we have a variation of marble nail art that we would love to show, as well as the possibilities of art combinations you can do with marble art! Some of the art we have been experimenting involve a mixture of different nail art techniques!

One of the techniques we loved seeing on nails is adding a touch of gold to class it up! Gold flakes are the perfect last touch to add a bit of colour to your manicure. (They’re also super fun to add and watch dissolve onto the nail!). You can see how they look in photos 2 and 5! Another way to add gold or other colours onto your mani is by adding metallic striping tape! We used gold in both of the sets we show this, but marble nails also look amazing with other colour metallic foil striping tape- such as a baby pink or a teal-blue. This technique can be shown in photos 3 and 6.

One of our more popular requests for nail art would be black on white marble. The classic! In some of the photos below, we tried out using different colours and different “backdrop” colours to see how it looks. Photo #4 with white on a lighter pink, and photo #3 and 6 with white on pink- one with more opaque pink, and the other with a softer, more translucent pink.

PRÉP BEAUTY PARLOUR LOGO

The year is coming to an end and Prép has had SUCH a fantastic year! We are very grateful to be surrounded by such a lovely clientele. We really would not been able to do it without the support!

To give thanks to the welcoming community around us, we have been donating some of our services as auction items to several charities and foundations to show our gratitude!

Many of these charity events are formed by students or foundations and raise money through their auctions to fund for research that lacks monetary support, or goes towards making a difference in people’s lives. Without the support of our loyal clientele, we would not have been able to show our support to the many communities around us. So Prép thanks you!

Marble Nail Trend | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Nails, Prép Beauty Parlour

Prép Logo

What’s Prép’s favourite Summer nail look? One word- M A R B L E! Solid, hard, granite marble! Inspired by the classiest of washroom and kitchen counters, the stone or water marble look is to die for! Okay, so why exactly are we so captured by the tile look? Several simple things.

It adds a touch of elegance and catches attention, without stealing the whole show. Having trouble deciding between 2 different shades of blush nude? We feel that- just use one as a base for the accent marble nail! There are literally so many things to love about marble nails, it looks cute whether it be on sculptured gel extensions (READ! Gel extensions vs Acrylics here!), or a even on simple gel manicure!

Marble sets look so cute with whatever colour you want! Turquoise? Yes! Sweet baby pink? Yes! Totally jazzes up a simple trip to the salon!

Marble is elegant, and on top of that, lace details and blush pinks add to the subtle manicure without being too drastic. The basic nudes and simplicity of the set is impeccable when it comes to matching anything in the wardrobe. Subtle, yet absolutely gorgeous!
