"Count Down to Prom" As Seen on Paris Hilton, Make Beautiful Eyelashes Yours for Prom!

Eyelash Extensions for Prom

What is all of young, trendy Hollywood batting their eyelashes at? Nothing in particular, but they have all caught on to the hottest trend to come out of the makeup industry in years!

Eyelash Extensions are carefully applied individual lashes that are glued onto your existing, natural eyelashes. They last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks and come in a range of styles to suit your own unique mood:

Natural - This look adds definition to your eyes and perfectly frames them; but look totally natural.

Dramatic - Think J Lo or Paris Hilton; these two lovely ladies wear them thick, long and with confidence for that “Bambi doe-eyed look”. Perfect for weddings or Prom, or any special occasion.

Extending - For those of us that received the “short end of the stick” literally! These long, feathery eyelashes extend your not-so-long natural eyelashes to give you a look as though you’re wearing mascara - but won’t be!

Eyelashes are the perfect way to enhance your eyes and make them “pop” for your graduation ceremonies and Prom. Applied after your makeup application, eyelash extensions complete your perfect prom look.

Le Petit Spa offers a student discount to clients who receive eyelash extensions or any other spa service for teens at Le Petit Spa.

Bambi spotted at Le Petit Spa!

We’ve featured Bambi this month as Le Petit Spa new “muse” and followers are receiving a lot of attention!

Doe - eyes are the new trend in makeup – although no makeup is involved. What is involved are delicately placed eyelashes to give you the sex-kitten-doe-eyed look every girl dreams of having at this time of year in hopes of seducing their prey, be it the opposite sex or their significant other.

Whether you’re looking for a more natural look, dramatic or extending, an application of semi-permanent eyelash extensions at Le Petit Spa will give your eyes that “pop” that all of young Hollywood seems to be sporting.

How long do they last?

An application of eyelash extensions at Le Petit Spa will last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on your lifestyle and your makeup application habits; if you apply and remove makeup every day they will last closer to two weeks…but mascara need not apply! Eyelash extensions require no goopy mascara to look their best; it already looks like you are wearing mascara!

How does it work?

When you arrive for your eyelash extension appointment, your Le Petit Spa Esthetician will talk to you about the look you want: natural, dramatic (Bambi lashes) or extending. She will then apply a set of extensions with gentle eyelash glue to the base of your natural lash line. This glue is safe for sensitive skin and will not damage your existing lashes. An hour later, you’ve got a look that will have all heads turning this Valentines Day!

Will they fall out?

Eyelashes naturally fall out just as the hair on your head does. Your eyelash extensions will naturally fall out along with your natural eyelashes. Any spa that you visit for an eyelash extension service should offer an eyelash “fix” service for a nominal fee.

How can I remove them if I no longer want them?

You may return to Le Petit Spa to have your extensions removed once you are done with them. Your Esthetician will talk to you about maintenance and removal when you visit us for your appointment. Removing them yourself may cause damage to your lashes...so let the professionals take care of this for you.

Visit us at the Kitsilano West 4th Lululemon location on February 14th for “Girls Night In” – a fun filled night for the girls with chocolate, martinis and spa treatments! Read more…

Eyelash Extension and Pictures of Eyelash Extension


Eyelash Extension and pictures of Eyelash Extensions

Mascara need not apply! The latest beauty craze in Hollywood will give your eyes an excuse to bat their lashes at anyone, or about anything!

As seen on Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, Hollywood has caught onto why Eyelash Extensions are an easy way to obtain a polished yet natural look. Each individual lash is gently glued onto your existing eyelashes. The process takes about an hour and they can last from 2 to 4 weeks depending on how frequently you remove and apply your makeup.

Client’s can choose from three different degrees of intensity depending on their mood and style:

1. Naturalthe look is soft, yet defined. Ideal for women who do not wear mascara but would like the definition that mascara provides.

2. Dramaticthink Bambi! This look is for the adventurous, special occasions (think hot date!) or anyone who wants a sexy, lush set of lashes.

3. Extending – Long, luxurious lashes are yours!

What if I have blond or light eyelashes?

Natural redheads and blonds may find themselves with lighter or blond eyelashes, but they still can enjoy the benefits of long, thick, more defined sexy lashes. Eyelash Tinting is a service that uses natural ingredients to gently tint eyelashes for up to 4 weeks. This service is recommended to anyone that has light eyelashes before an application of Eyelash Extensions is applied.

How long will Eyelash Extensions last?

Eyelash Extensions will last from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the client’s lifestyle. A client’s Eyelash Extensions who applies makeup (mascara and/or eyeliner) and washes it off on a daily basis will not last as long as a client who does not wear mascara on a daily basis.

What do I do if they start to fall out?

Overtime we naturally shed our eyelashes just as we do with hair. This means that some of your extensions will fall out when your eyelashes naturally shed themselves. Any spa that offers Eyelash Extensions on their menu should offer an Eyelash Extension Fix service on their menu to help their clients keep up the look of their Eyelash Extensions.
