What you should know before investing in lash extensions.

💗 Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent lashes that are attached to your natural lash hair and have become quite popular

✨ They are a step above sticking on false lashes and are known to last for many weeks. The rising popularity of permanent makeup like lip blushing (a form of tattoo) and eyebrow microblading, has made eyelash extensions a sought-after procedure. It is non-invasive, painless and cuts down on makeup time significantly. But given their popularity, do their pros and cons balance out to make them a worthwhile procedure to get? Let's look at some fast facts...

Here are some of the major pros of eyelash extensions:

✅ They speed up your makeup routine
Tending to your lashes can take anywhere between 10-20 minutes - if you are going all out with falsies and have to stick them, curl them and finish with mascara. Eyelash extension can save you this daily commitment and considerably speed up your makeup process.

✅ They can replace other eye makeup
Eyelash extensions are statement enough to be worn on their own. They can give your eye a 'wakening' affect and take attention away from like dark circles and under-eye bags. This is why a lot of women get extensions done to eliminate the step of cleaning up eye makeup from their nighttime skincare routine altogether.

✅ They can be customized
Regular falsies come in a standard make and follow a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. Eyelash extensions can be customised according to your desired length, volume, fullness or just something that enhances and shows off your eye shape. This makes them more suited to your unique facial features.

✅ They avoid mascara mishaps
Mascara is one of the most common things that you might mess up while applying your makeup. Cleaning up smudges, clumps, and flakes can sometimes 'dirty up' the makeup application around your eye area. This issue is completely avoided by getting eyelash extensions!

Apart from the obvious complications that can arise from the chemicals in bonding agents and sharp tools used during the process, here are some of the major cons of eyelash extensions:

⚠️ They are pricey
Lash Extensions are investments. To maintain the health of your natural lashes you should book a fill every 2-3 weeks. Since lash extensions are glued on to your natural lashes, they shed when your natural lashes shed. While recommendations are 2-3 weeks depending on the time of your, you may have to do fills sooner because of lash shedding.

⚠️ They can affect your natural lashes
The main downside of lash extensions is not going to a professional lash artist who is specialized in lash care, maintenance and aftercare procedures. Just because it costly less doesn’t mean they are properly trained at applying lashes.

⚠️ It’s takes hours to complete
In this day and age, everyone wants a microwave service. They want to come into an appointment and have the service completed in one hour. While lash extensions will enhance your beauty, it doesn’t take time to complete. A professional lash artist can take 3-4 hours to properly apply lash extensions to your natural eye. While times vary depending on your eye shape, it’s important to block out a few hours of your day and relax. When you come to Virtuously Beautiful Designs you receiving a spa like service while receiving your lash extensions.

💗The ultimate decision is up to you but know this Queen, You are already Virtuously Beautiful 💗

Be grateful for where you are in life so your can appreciate where your going!

One of my biggest challenges as a Business Owner was:

📣 Accepting when I didn’t make sales that day.

📣 Accepting when I had to make refund in order to keep a client.

📣 Accepting that not all my family would cheer me on.

When I finally accepted the above that’s when I truly found grace to accept those things and be grateful for:

✨The sales I made in a week

✨The reviews from clients that actually knew what dip powder was(all of my “non 5 stars” was because customers didn’t read my profile and didn’t purchase a sizing kit)

✨The complete strangers who supported me and my business.

I turned a “tough day” into “grateful days!”

You can’t complain about rainy days if you want to grow 🌱

Because we all know, it takes rain and sun to bring forth a harvest! 🌻

No matter where you are in this journey called life, I dare you to be grateful for where you are RIGHT NOW!

You won’t be able to grow your business until you start creating face to face conversations again📣

Some can use social media as their “only” way they grow their business while I can differ!

One of the most controversial topics is how to market your business and while social media is one of the keys that opens the door to business growth and expansion, it’s not the only key 🔑

🔑 I'm heavily into social media. I've covered the space countless times; I post multiple times on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn each day; and, I encourage people to use social nets as a way to do low-cost marketing for their company.

🔑 At the same time, I'm not so enamored by the technology that I think it can completely replace your marketing efforts. It can augment them, sure.

🔑 In some cases, a plain old printed brochure you hand out at a conference or a really slick business card will win you more customers than anything in digital form.

‼️Please keep making those promotional videos and post them on YouTube for the world to see, and let us know about them on Twitter or Instagram, but don't let that become the only marketing you do.

🔑It's too easy to think of the "new" as the "only" when it comes to marketing. I recommend you use the same strategy for IT security as you do for marketing: be open to any strategy and deploy several.

Here are 4 tips on how to prepare for your eyelash extension service:

1. If you wear waterproof mascara, discontinue use 3 days prior to your appointment.

The compounds in these products will remain on the lashes, even after properly cleansing.
This will prevent the extension adhesive from properly bonding and you may experience premature lash loss.

2. Arrive with a freshly clean face and impeccably clean lashes.

Residual oils and makeup remaining on the lashes will only prevent the adhesive from properly bonding.
This point needs to be stressed - do not arrive still wearing eye makeup.
Your lash stylist should not be spending more than a few minutes cleansing and prepping your lashes for the service.
It is a waste of her skill time and a waste of your money.
Less cleaning. More time. More lashes.
It is absolutely acceptable to wear facial and brow makeup. Book your appointment first thing in the morning if you must wear eye makeup for the day.

3. Arrive freshly showered and with clean hair. You won't be able to wet the lashes for the initial 24 hours after application.

A compound found in all lash adhesives, cyanoacrylate, needs humidity to properly cure. TOO MUCH humidity will shock the adhesive and cause premature lash loss.
Showers, steam, saunas, and crying are not permitted for the initial 24-48 hours after application.
(Personal tip: I shower and wash my hair the morning before an appointment and take a bath for the next 2 days.)

4. NO CAFFEINE

Please do not drink any caffeine before your appointment. Drinking caffeine prior to your appointment will make your eyes twitch which makes it difficult to work with. This could cause delay in the lash appreciating.

The Perfect Occasions to Rock Your New Lashes

Weddings 💒

For your most memorable day, lash extensions are an excellent way to save time on makeup and touch ups the day of your wedding. You can get them done ahead of time and you won’t have to worry on the day of the event about your lashes. Especially if you shed a few tears or work up a sweat dancing the night away, your lashes will stay in place. No need to worry about the waterproof rating of your mascara!

Vacation 🏝

We all want to look and feel our best when we’re on vacation, especially because it’s an occasion where you’ll likely be photographed. New lashes can be a confidence booster as they make you look incredible from any and every angle. There’s also an added benefit of not needing to wear mascara. When you’re tired after a long day of traveling, stubborn mascara removal is not something you’ll need to worry about. Plus, you can have the added benefit of not having to travel with makeup remover wipes because you’ll stay looking fresh without mascara rings around your eyes.

Long-Wear Opportunities 👩🏽‍💼

For long-wear occasions, no one wants to have to worry about touch ups or smudging their mascara. If you have an event, like a business conference, eyelash extensions can help you have peace of mind that you’ll be looking great all day long. With your lashes looking flawless, you can focus on bringing your A-game.

New Phases In Your Life 🎉

Are you experiencing a life change like a new job or moving to a new city? Having new lashes is a great way to reflect your personal style without the daily need to add mascara. Plus, you’re doing something new, so it’s a great time to try out a new look.

Your Everyday Look 💃🏽

You don’t need a special occasion to feel your best! When you get high-quality lashes done by an experienced professional at an eyelash studio, you can go longer without eyelash extension fills. That means it’s even easier to complete your everyday look with false lashes that fit your lifestyle. When you’re in rushing out the door in the morning, having lash extensions are a great way to look and feel polished without wasting any time.

The best way to enhance your natural look is with lash extensions!

✨What Are Lash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that are attached to your natural eyelashes in order to make your lash fringe look longer, fuller, and darker. Individual lash extensions are applied to each of your individual natural eyelashes (one extension per natural eyelash) using a semi-permanent glue. Our studio offer a variety of extension lengths, curl patterns, and tints so clients can customize their look.

👀The Benefits

✅It Works: With lash extensions, you’ll wake up every day with long, fluttering, gorgeous lashes.The process is extremely effective at enhancing your eyes, and looks incredible on everyone.

✅Completely Customizable: Your look can be as natural or as dramatic as you’d like, just work with your lash artist to decide on the ideal length and curl of your extensions.

✅Virtually Waterproof: While you can’t get them wet in the first 48 hours, you can still swim, shower, and sweat in your extensions (although the dryer you keep them, the longer they can last).

✅Pain-Free: The entire process is 100 percent painless for almost everyone, from start to finish.

Change your understanding of Classic Lashes

* Classic eyelash extensions are a simple, beautiful, natural-looking lash style. 😍
~ They are applied on a 1:1 ratio, which means one extension is attached to one natural lash. This gives you a natural looking lash.

* Classic eyelash extensions can be a range of materials, thicknesses and styles. 😎

* Classic eyelash application usually takes around 2 hours and the results should be soft, natural-looking lashes. 🧐

* They won’t add as much in the way of volume lashes, as they will in length.
~ Classic eyelash extensions are designed to make your lashes look natural.🥰
~ These lashes will always look more natural as they are designed to mimic the way your natural lashes look – the fullness that can be achieved depends a lot on how many natural lashes you have. {If you don’t have lots of natural lashes, even 100% coverage may not look as full as it would on somebody else.}😮
~ Think of classic lashes as simply an enhancement of your natural lashes: like you’re wearing a very good mascara that doesn’t smudge, smear or come off when you wash your face.🤗

✅ A Great Alternative to Going to the Salon
• With everything that has happened this year, press-on nails are a great alternative to gel extensions or acrylic nails when you do not want to leave your home but still want to have a custom, polished manicure look.

✅ Easy Application and Removal for Special Events
• They’re great for a last-minute event as their application and removal are so impressively quick. Then you can focus on more important things — like what you’re going to wear.

✅ Great for People Who Can't Have Nails for Their Occupation
• Since they’re so effortless to apply or remove, they’re a nice style option for people who can only wear glam, fashionable, or long nails during their off-time, like nurses, those who work in conservative offices, etc.

✅ Reusable
Our press-ons are reusable, so feel free to repeat your manicure set as much as you like, guilt-free.
Disclaimer: with proper care and maintenance your nails can be used multiple times

✅ Has a Variety of Designs to Choose From
• Press ons let you have a variety of pattern, art, shape, and colour options, just like acrylic nails. You can mix-and-match sets to change up your looks and suit your style.

✅ Affordable
• Reusable press ons, like what we have at Virtuously Beautiful Designs, are a super economical way to appear glam in the long run because you are paying for multiple wears. While they’re priced higher than drugstore single-use products, they still cost less than gel extensions.

12/18/2021

While I’d love for everyone to buy my work, I know that that’s not always possible.

I know this is true of other small businesses as well. I often love another makers work unfortunately , not all the time I’m able to support them with a purchase. This doesn’t mean I can’t support them in another way though.

Some of the best ways I’ve found to support other small businesses are:

✅ 1. Share about them with your friends!
Word of mouth recommendations are still some of the best ways to share with others. Even when I'm unable to purchase an item, I offer my favorite local products as gift ideas to others.

✅ 2. Follow their social channels, sign up for their newsletter, and engage with them.
This could be liking, commenting, or resharing their work with credit. Engaging with an artist online helps broaden their reach to others and brightens their day. Whenever someone leaves an encouraging comment or signs up for my newsletter, I do a little happy dance.💃🏽

✅ 3. Be supportive and encouraging.
This might sound silly, but many artists, like myself, work in isolation. I often have no idea if my art will sell, if my new pieces will be a hit or a flop, and question what I’m doing all the time. Hearing a few words of encouragement helps me know I’m on the right track and that even though I enjoy what I’m doing, others do too.

✅ 4. Don't ask for free or discounted items.
Not all artists can afford to run a sale or offer their products at a discount. Please acknowledge that the price they've set for their goods is what they need to make a living to support their families. I rarely offer sales or discounts because hand lashes, balloon decor and nails takes hours of work from the ideation to the creation phase. While some services are expensive, I've also found a pricing formula that allows me to sell my work.

✅ 5. Buy from them when you can.
Even a small purchase brightens a makers day. As a maker, it's hard to break through the internet and people's daily lives to gain awareness for your brand and products. When you acknowledge another makers hard work with a purchase—even if it's a small one—it means the world to us!

12/17/2021

It is no secret that the social media frenzy has become out of control and studies are now showing that social media use can lead to depression, low self-esteem, body image issues, anxiety, social isolation, and the list goes on.

It can even perpetuate eating disorders and self-harm behaviors. On the flip side, social media can bring communities together and can be an engaging platform to meet new friends however the balance can be easily skewed.

But we all know social media is a tiny sliver of reality, the best of the best days and in a way, a falsified image that we want to portray to others. 😵‍💫

So should we just take a long purge? 🧐

Delete our social media altogether? 🧐

Or cut back and limit our screen time? 🧐🧐

At times I have thought about deleting my own personal social media accounts, giving myself a break from the distractions, spending more time engaging with people in real life and diving in deeper to my career. 🥳🥳

Although I have not fully taken the plunge, I do go on social media breaks quite often and I strive to make more of an effort to stay off my phone, especially when I am adventuring in the outdoors or spending time with people in real life who I care about. 😎💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️😎

Below are some tips and tricks (that actually work) that I use to break away from social media:

✅ Put your phone down and out of reach

I often find that if my phone is in another room, then I won’t have the urge to grab it.

✅ Set limits by tracking your social media time

There are tons of apps out there that can track your social media time and help monitor and control how much time you spend on Facebook and Instagram.

✅ Turn off notifications and set virtual boundaries

Turn off all social media notifications on your phone so you don’t feel triggered to check your Instagram or whenever you receive a new notification.

✅ Set “phone free zones”

Pick areas in your home where you are not allowed to be on your phone.

✅ Schedule “social media free days”

Maybe it is every Sunday or maybe it is the entire weekend where you actively decided not to check or engage on social media

Enjoy your Friday🤎

7 Reasons Why You Should Choose Press On Nails ✅ They Don’t Damage Your Nails~ Underneath a press on is a healthy nail. ...
12/15/2021

7 Reasons Why You Should Choose Press On Nails

✅ They Don’t Damage Your Nails
~ Underneath a press on is a healthy nail. It’s not yellow frail nails like what you can experienced with acrylic or gels. If you pop a nail, you’re not at risk for bleeding or cracking your real nails. If a press on nail pops off, guess what? You can glue it back on! Plus if your nail grows underneath them, they won’t get damaged.

✅ There Is A Style For Everyone-~ No matter the shape, length, or design we have them all. Don’t see the design you like, send us a pic and we can recreate.

✅ They are cheaper than other options
~ They are cheaper with time and money. You can save at least $100 a month with press on nails, nor do you have to spend gas going to the nail salon twice a month for fill ins if you have acrylic.

✅ They are easy to put on and take off
~ As stated previously, use the right amount of glue and make sure you use nails that perfectly fit your nail bed, otherwise it won’t look real. To take off, you can either soak them in hot water for 10 minutes or acetone and they will slide off. This helps maintain a healthy nail.

✅ They don’t chip or lose their shine
~ No matter what you do, the design and color will last. You can take them off and put back on with no problem of chipping.

✅ Professional
~ Whether your want to admit it or not, people judge you by the appearance of your nails among other things 😒. If your nails aren’t done, people will judge you. If you have 3 nails that are chipped or broke off, and you don’t have time to go to the nail salon, people will judge you even more. Press on nails save you from this.

‼️ You could be preventing labor trafficking
~ This only if you don’t go to black business owned nail salons. According to the Huffpost, “People can be brought in and forced to work in a number of different employment settings and for Asian Americans they are forced to work in nail salons.” Your favorite nail technician could be brought to the US against their will and the only way to go back is to make a certain amount of money.‼️

11/05/2021

Sure, your life isn’t perfect.. but trust me, your lashes will stay perfect!
Follow these steps:
1. Keep Them Dry
Avoid getting them wet for the first 12-24 hours. This will give the adhesive time to fully set and adhere to your lash line. In addition to this, we also recommend that you avoid steamy atmospheres for the first 48 hours.
2. Sleep on Your Back
Many health professionals recommend sleeping on your back to reduce pressure on your shoulders and spine but sleeping on your back is also good for your lashes!
3. Clean and Brush Them
For your lashes to last, it is crucial that you clean and brush them daily. Make sure to wash your lashes (wash them and your face) even if you have not been wearing makeup. When cleaning them it is also important to use an oil-free cleanser such as our Foaming Cleanser. This is because Oil will break down the lash adhesive very rapidly and cause your extensions to fall out faster than they should.
4. Being Gentle is Key
The less you mess with your lashes, the better! Avoid tugging, rubbing, or plucking them. Of course, you are a human and not a robot. Therefore, you are bound to get an itch around your eyes eventually. We get it. In the event of an itch, try to make it a habit to run a brush through your lashes instead of rubbing them. Your extensions are bonded to your natural lashes with very strong glue and pulling them off may also pull out your natural lash.
5. Schedule Regular Fills
Your natural lashes shed daily and the extensions will shed right along with them. To keep your lashes looking fabulous you will need regular fills, about every two weeks.
Lashology wants you to look and feel your best. We hope you find these tips useful! Do not forget to call and make an appointment for your next lash refill. We look forward to seeing you and helping your lashes look their very best!
6. Purchase Our Lash Mask
If you’re looking for a way to save money on your lash extensions and prolong the life of your lashes, consider purchasing a 3D contour sleep mask.
They work by providing a gentle, safe little nook around your lashes. This nook protects your lashes from hitting the pillow as you toss and turn.
