I Love Client Lash Photos!

Kristine's Long Lashes

As you may have noticed from my previous posts (or from looking at my before and after photo page), I always take before and after photos of my clients (and then text or email my clients the pictures).  And although my smartphone photos get the job done (I'm a lash artist, not a photographer), they don't really show off my clients' personalities and flair.  So, I have an open invitation to all my clients to send me their own pictures of their NovaLashed eyes.  I LOVE these photos!! (So, all my clients reading this blog, get out your cameras and send me those lash pics!!)

Love it!!

Which brings me to Kristine--a smart, gorgeous girl with a big personality--who sent me some of her own lash photos this week after I applied a full set on her!  And although I knew her (sort of) before becoming her lash artist, I felt honored to get to know her on a personal level while giving her some SERIOUS FAB-U-LASHES!  Kristine came in wanting the biggest, most glamorous lashes I could give her..so we went ALL OUT!!!  Check out these lashes and Kristine's amazing look! 

Check Out These Lashes

Before every lash application, I always consult with my clients about the look they desire for their lashes.  Most clients start out wanting modest lashes, medium thickness and length, not too much curl--very professional, natural looking lashes.  I love doing this type of application.

However, when a client comes in for her consultation and says, "Give me the BIGGEST DIVA Lashes you have," I get super stoked.  I LOVE long, thick, full lashes that people can't take their eyes off of!!  And I especially love giving clients (who want this this look) these SHOW-STOPPING Lashes!!  These are the super fabulous lashes that my beautiful new client, Chelsea, asked for.  Chelsea is a gorgeous girl--inside and out--and it was a pleasure meeting her!  Even though my cell phone camera doesn't do her eyes justice, here is a glimpse at her before and after look:

Before and After Lashes

Miami University Lash Ambassador Rocks Long Lashes

All this lashin' can really wear a gal out, so I've enlisted the help of a Lash Ambassador/ Intern.  Can I just say that I LOVE having intern Katie Borgert, Miami University sophomore/ marketing major extraordinaire, working with me.  She's smart, kind, hard-working, reliable, beautiful, and loads of fun.  And best of all, she puts up with my craziness--and does so with a smile. (Nothing like sitting next to me during a full day of lashes while I keep dropping things on the floor, right Katie?)  

Katie is working with me to spread the word about Love Those Lashes, LLC to Miami University ladies and also assisting me with social networking and blogging.  Her perks--well, she gets to rock some serious lashes!!!!!  Check out these gorgeous eyes:

Latisse: Is it Worth It?

Many clients have asked me about using Latisse, which is an FDA approved, prescription eyelash growth serum, or at least it is marketed as such.  Did you know that Latisse was actually developed to treat glaucoma?  Developers realized during clinical trials that lash growth was a side effect of the product, so it was repackaged and marketed for the lashes.

Although I'm not a medical doctor, I do have my opinions about the ways in which this product affects clients' lashes and pocketbooks (it can be used with or without lash extensions).  Here are a few of my thoughts--based on my experience as a lash artist combined with my own personal research:

1. It's risky.  I can ALWAYS tell if a client has used or is using Latisse.  The eyelids are irritated and there is evidence of strain on the skin.  It also can change the color of a client's eyes or eyelids.  
2. It's expensive.  Latisse will cost you about $120 per month. 
3. It's temporary. Stop using the product and your lashes return to "normal."
4. It doesn't look like mascara.  NovaLash extensions actually replace your mascara, so you don't have to worry about flakes, streaks, or caking on mascara.  With Latisse, you will most likely still use mascara and have the same costs and experiences associated with using it. 
5. Consumer Reports warns against it.  See this video for more information:

If you're in the market for longer lashes, be sure to check out ALL of your options. I'm a bit biased, but I really believe that NovaLash individual extensions are THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY to safely get longer, fuller, thicker lashes.
