Lash Affair is beyond excited to announce a new product available for Lash Extensions! We will soon be carrying in-lounge, 100% REAL Siberian Mink Fur as our most luxurious individual lash extension product to date!

This Mink Fur is 100% cruelty free and comes from Mink who are gently combed in shedding season to harvest the fur!

Why MINK?!

Mink fur is very unique. It is very dense, while being very flexible. It grows with a HOLLOW shaft! This makes it ideal for lash extensions as the hollowness creates the most lightweight extension available on the market! Lightweight = your natural lasts shed less often! Since it is a natural hair as well it is soft, bouncy, and mimics a human hair!

Mink Extensions are worn by countless stars in Hollywood. The most popular being J-Lo, the Kardashians, and Heidi Klum.

At Lash Affair, we look at lashes ALL day everyday! We see many different types of lashes, and get all the dirt on which lash growth serums work, and which don’t. For the most part, Lash Growth serums available in most major drug stores don’t do a lot to GROW lashes, but do condition them and keep them healthy.

We have seen over the years, many women who have used Latisse and loved it. Latisse does work wonders with Lash Growth (and we have seen lots of great results) – but comes with some scary side effects such as: darkening of the iris, and darkening of the skin pigment on the eyelid. Latisse is also expensive, ranging from $150-175 for a 6 week supply.

We had a client in a couple months ago with stunning lashes that were long, dark, and full! We assumed right away that it was from Latisse use, as other Lash Serums don’t give that effect. That’s when we found out about Grande Lash-MD. This serum gives the same results as Latisse, but is an all natural product and doesn’t come with the side-effects Latisse does. The other major difference between the two is the price! We sell Grande Lash-MD for $79 and that bottle lasts between 3-5 months while Latisse is $150 for 6 weeks.

AVAILABLE NOW AT LASH AFFAIR! $79 for a 3 month supply (one bottle)

Strengths Of GrandeLASH-MD

• All natural formula
• Contains effective moisturizers and vitamins that may help
• Relatively inexpensive
• Some information on a positive clinical trial
• Few adverse reactions reported
• Audio testimonials with before and after photos showing positive results
• Works on both eyelashes and brows. Great for re-growing lashes and brows that have been through chemo-therapy, or that have been damaged or over-plucked.

It’s a pretty bold statement, but we definitely stand by our claim to be Edmonton’s Premier Lash Lounge! We know that you will not find the same quality, service, or prices anywhere else! However, we get asked all the time, “What makes you different than other lash lounges in the city?”. We would absolutely love to tell you!

Lash Affair’s Technicians:

Every Technician at Lash Affair is a certified Lash Tech, and absolutely loves doing lashes.   Our technicians have completed courses, practicums, and have a MINIMUM of 1 year hands-on experience in the field. Most of our lash techs are also fully certified aestheticians, who have chosen to specialize in lashes as they are passionate about it – and when someone is passionate about what they do… it shows in their work!

Lash Affair’s Product:

At Lash Affair we use only the top quality product in the industry. We don’t skimp out and buy cheaper extensions to maximize profit margins, but instead only purchase and carry top quality lashes (not “plastic” looking lashes), and adhesives, all of which meet the strict Standard of Health Canada and their regulations. We do NOT offer “cluster” or flare lashes (a knot with 5 lashes attached that are literally caked onto your lashes)… as these WILL damage your natural lashes. Lash Affair’s individual lash extensions, and Y- lashes promote healthy and natural lash shed cycle – keeping your lashes happy!

We never “tape” down your bottom lashes! At Lash Affair, we carry specially formulated gel pads (LUXURY!) to hold down bottom lashes during the application process. They have collagen, elastin, aloe, and vitamin a, to condition your under-eye during your appointment. You walk out of your appointment not only having fabulous lashes, but also having under eyes that no longer have dark circles, puffiness, or wrinkles!

Our adhesive is the best in the industry! Lash Affair has been around for 3 years.. and over this time we have worked hard to stay on the cutting edge of new advancements in adhesive. We now have our absolute favourites in-lounge, and we know that our adhesive brands offer the absolute best hold, flexibility, and bonding time! All adhesives meet Health Canada standards, and we have options for sensitive eyes as well!

We also carry a wide variety of lash aftercare product! We want to make sure each of our clients don’t have to “search” for new cleansers, lash curlers, eyeliners etc. Instead, we carry everything you need to properly up-keep your lashes from make-up remover, heated curlers, Geisha Ink eyeliner, sealant to lengthen the life of your extensions, and black diamond coating to keep new growth dark and luxurious.

Lash Affair’s Services:

Lash Affair works very hard to offer only the latest and greatest Lash Services available. We have always done lash extensions, and have in the last year added: tinting, LashLift, and are now bringing in LashCOAT (a semi-permanent mascara that lasts!). As new lash services are added and brought into the industry – you KNOW where will be the first to have it available; Lash Affair! We are ALL things lashes!

Lash Affair’s Prices:

Lash Affair may not be the most inexpensive lash lounge in town, but with the lash industry you get what you pay for! We don’t charge “per lash” but instead we believe every woman deserves to have the fullest lashes that her natural lashes will support. At your first full set appointment we do about 80% of your natural lashes with extensions – this is because it takes the adhesive 24 hours to set, and until it has set it is tacky and sticky. If lashes are applied too full, too fast, it leads to clumping and tangles. This is why we work you up to 100% of your natural lashes with extensions within 1-2 fills! This leads to healthy, full lashes, that don’t stress your naturals. For the amount of lashes we do per eye, and the fullness Lash Affair is known for.. we actually are very inexpensive!

Lash Affair’s Reputation:

Lash Affair has been featured, and reviewed by many photographers, bloggers, and more. With over 100 5 star reviews online- you know we can back up the quality we claim to give! We are also Edmonton Oilers Octane Sponsors and are listed on their website! See a full listing here: http://www.lashaffairlounge.com/#!reviews-and-features

So there you have it!  Don’t risk the rest… Come to the best!

Spring is right around the corner!

Forget about spring cleaning, and let’s talk about spring shopping! Does your make-up bag need an overhaul? This spring it’s all about liner, brows, and bold lips!

Seen here, Adelle’s stunning make-up for her spread in VOGUE magazine. Notice how the winged liner makes her eyes look HUGE and striking. This with some added fabulous strip lashes, a bright shadow on the lid, and a taupe shadow blended into the lid crease, you’re set!

Seen below is the most bold trend sweeping through our make-up looks for Spring 2012. Matte lips in bold colours. Fuchsia is absolutely huge this year, and although we are used to the glosses and shimmers… this “matte” finish lip was rocked on countless runways this past Fashion Week.
With this said, your eyes might have wandered off the lips and onto the brows in the picture below! Strong, thick brow are an absolute must this season, and whether you let them run wild, or keep them big and beautiful while still keeping them prim and proper, anything goes! Rock the brows your mama gave you… and give the threading and waxing a break for a bit!

Next, Let’s talk nails! We absolutely love this “Hunger Games” collection by China Glaze. They offer something for everyone in this fun collection inspired by the books/movie itself. From matte pinks, to intense metallics, earth tones, and a bright, bold orange! Available now in-stores, be the first to show these hues off!
