A woman should never apologize for two things: looking fabulous, and feeling confident. So when full, flirty eyelash extensions give you a boost in appearance and esteem, you should revel in it, rather than entertain the notion that you may have some kind of problem. In fact, you might have 99 problems but flimsy lashes ain’t one!

Eyelash extensions are the ultimate accessory for any glamour-loving gal; and once you’ve had yours done by a good lash artist with the best eyelash extensions training from Dreamlash Academy, you’ll understand why they deserve to be part of your beauty regime. And once you start, you won’t ever want to stop!

When properly applied, eyelash extensions are individually adhered to your natural lashes to instantly spruce up your face with a come-hither, Kardashian-esque flutter that will have you proudly proclaiming, “I woke up like this!” With such ego-boosting results, who can blame you for loving your semi-permanent lashes?

The best lash stylists apply the knowledge gained from a top eyelash extensions course to create different styles of eyelash extensions to suit various individual tastes. So if lash extensions are your addiction, then eyelash extensions certification by Dreamlash Academy is a virtual dealer’s license for the lash artist who serves up your lash extensions “fix”.

After the initial application, eyelash extensions need to be refreshed every 2 or 3 weeks as your natural lashes fall out along with the extensions. In the case of even one fallen lash, chances are, you have your lash artist on speed dial; and that’s okay! She your go-to gal (or guy) for keeping your face refreshed with fabulous eyelashes, so it’s only reasonable that you keep her number handy. Aside from that, there are a few more signs that you’re probably addicted to lash extensions. And contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be remorseful about it.

8 signs you’re addicted to eyelash extensions… and loving it!

  1. You faithfully visit your favorite lash stylist every 2 weeks for fill-ins.
  2. You’ve taken to leaving the house without any makeup; after all, you look fantastic as is!
  3. You’ve abandoned your old drugstore mascaras totally, and can’t even remember why you needed them in the first place
  4. Your confidence level is all the way turned up, and you can’t stop admiring yourself in every reflection.
  5. You’ve developed a propensity for winking at people…slowly.
  6. You avoid any activity that might compromise your eyelash extensions, including saunas, steam rooms, hot showers and anything that involves use of an oven.
  7. You proclaim the gospel of eyelash extensions to anyone who will listen, especially those who express admiration for your lashes. Spread the word!
  8. Finding a fallen lash is now a cause to mourn, not an opportunity to make a wish.

But while you’re busy being beautiful with your buxom lashes in tow, there might be a few naysayers who frown upon your lash extensions habit. Pffft! Poor them!

If lash extensions make you look and feel beautiful, and you employ the services of a lash stylist who trained at Dreamlash Academy, no one else’s opinion should matter.

9 Weird and Fun Facts About Eyelashes

Posted January 8, 2015 by admin | Leave a Comment | Eyelash Extensions Services

Eyelashes are one beauty element every girl has that can change the entire look of her eyes and face. Many women spend lots of time each day to make their eyelashes look beautiful and attractive. However, you might be surprised to learn some mystifying facts about these tiny little hairs growing on your eyelids.

Here are some weird and fun facts about eyelashes:

  • Our eyelashes begin growing before we are born. Science claims that our eyelashes start growing when we are 7-8 weeks along in the womb.

Human babies are born with eyelashes

  • Eyelashes are made up of only two things: water and keratin; to be specific, 97% keratin and only 3% water. Keratin is a protein that’s common in hair, skin, and nails, and natural silk!

Keratin is a compound of protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails

  • Our eyelashes fall out and completely replenish themselves every 150 days.  They re-grow until they reach the optimum length, fall out, and replenish themselves again. Although everyone’s shedding cycle varies slightly in length,  every set of human eyelashes goes through this pattern.

  • Only mammals grow eyelashes. (That’s why people say they feel like a “Lizard” without their lash extensions!)

  • There are approximately 200 lashes on the upper lids, while the lower lashes have approximately 100 lashes. The lower lashes usually have about 50% the amount of the upper lashes.

Natural bottom lashes are usually 50% the amount of natural top lashes

  • Don’t let this gross you out, but there are little mites that live in the base of our eyelashes. They come out at night to consume cells to prevent the follicles from clogging. If lashes aren’t cleaned regularly, these mites can over-populate, causing infections. So be sure your Lash Artist uses an adhesive with anti-microbial properties like Quickie Adhesive!

  • Healthy eyelashes fall out every day. Most people lose 1-5 natural eyelashes per day. If you’re not losing lashes daily, this may indicate a health problem.

Posted January 8, 2015 by admin | Leave a Comment | Mascaras, Professional Dreamlash Artists

Eyelash extensions are an exquisite alternative for women who dream of fuller and thicker eyelashes. Although eyelash extensions are a financial investment, you won’t regret indulging in a lifetime of doe-eyed beauty. There are many women out there who experiment with natural treatments to enhance their eyelashes, but those those who want instant gratification know that nothing compares to a full set of eyelash extensions customized to their individual look.

Keep on reading to find out some of the little-known truths about this indulgent beauty service:

Customized Lash Applications

Not many women are aware of the fact that eyelash extensions come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In fact, many improperly trained eyelash extensions technicians only use one size! On the contrary there are also eyelash technicians who use too many shapes and sizes, causing the lashes to look overdone – or fake. Eyelash extensions that are customized according to your natural eye shape and length of lashes will ensure they are beautiful and virtually undetectable.

Also, the best technicians only use shapes, sizes, and curl levels that will look ravishing for work or play. Avoid technicians who use lashes that are too heavy, or lashes that are curled to tightly, or lashes that are shaped unnaturally- as those will cause damage to your natural lashes.

Bottom Lash Enhancement

If you have thin or unnoticeable bottom lashes, don’t fret! You can enhance your bottom lashes by asking your technician to apply Dreamlash Dip Semi-Permanent Mascara. Avoid eyelash extensions on the bottom lashes, since your natural bottom lashes are too delicate to hold extensions safely. A combination of upper eyelash extensions and bottom Dreamlash Dip will enhance the look of your eyes for an enviable doll-eyed effect.

Use Specialized Sealants and Mascara

Although many uneducated lash artists claim that you can use any old mascara on your eyelash extensions, this can cause premature lash loss and damage to your natural lashes. The oil content is too high which will cause the chemical balance of the lash adhesive to break down. Be sure the mascara you use is purchased from a Certified Lash Artist. Check the packaging to make sure it’s specialized for eyelash extensions.

Lash Application - Mascara

So, for the perfect set of customized eyelash extensions and semi-permanent mascara, choose a Lash Artist from Dreamlash Academy. The company provides eyelash extensions training courses for beginners and masters alike. Such as classes in Calgary, Calgary, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Moncton, Manhattan, Fargo, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Miami, Raleigh.

You’ll also find products designed to protect your beloved eyelash extensions such as Dreamlash Seal & Shine Coating sealant, specialized mascaras, adhesives, and more.

5 Tips Every Professional Lash Artist Gives Their Clients

Posted January 7, 2015 by admin | Leave a Comment | Uncategorized

Just like your hair, skin and nails, your eyelashes also demand care and attention. If you believe that your eyelashes are weak and lifeless, eyelash extensions are a great solution. However, many women fail to realize that getting eyelash extensions require home after-care. There are some important things that must be taken care of, if you wish to prolong the life of your eyelash extensions, as well as the health of your natural lashes.

Read on to find out top 5 tips that are a must when it comes to keeping your lash extensions healthy and beautiful for the longest time possible.

Dreamlash Academy

1. Sleeping with Care

The trick to prolong the life of your eyelash extensions is to sleep face-up. If you have a habit of sleeping face-down, your extensions may tangle or shed prematurely. Another alternative is to sleep sideways so that your lashes do not touch the bed or the pillow. However, sleeping on your back is the most preferred option to extend the life of your lash extensions.

2. Avoid Touching Your Lashes

It is hard to avoid touching your eyelashes every time you look into the mirror. However, if you wish to retain your extensions for the longest period of time, avoid touching them.

3. Arrive to your Appointment with Clean Lashes

Since your technician only sets 1-2 hours aside for your appointment, be sure to clean your eyelashes thoroughly beforehand. You should arrive to your appointment without any eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, or creams. It saves the technician time from removing the visible product, and ensures your eyes are a clean palette for your Lash Artist to work from. This means your technician will have more time to perfect your eyelash extensions.

4. Book Regular Fills

Normally after an eyelash extension session, you are required to fillsevery 4-5 weeks. The purpose of fillskeeps your natural lashes healthy and your new extensions lush and voluminous. Getting fills regularly will ensure you get a long-lasting return on your investment.

5. Keep your Natural Lashes Healthy

Just like a building needs a strong foundation, your eyelash extensions depend on the health of your natural lashes. In order to keep your lash extensions beautiful and strong, use Dreamlash Seal & Shine coating sealant 3-4 times per day to keep your natural lashes healthy and strong.
