Not all lash extensions are created equal
Oct 17, 2011
We continue to see poor application from some other salons offering deals on group buying sites. When choosing a lash stylist, be sure to do your homework and make sure he or she is directory certified by Xtreme Lashes. Properly applied eyelash extensions should take about two hours for a full set. Our full set has up to 90 extensions per eye. Be sure to compare what each salon considers a full set, sometimes one place may seem less expensive, when you are really getting more lashes for your money elsewhere. If a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is.
This client called us today after redeeming a deal from a group buying site and wanted these lashes removed ASAP. She said, “I can’t go to work like this tomorrow, I need these off as soon as possible.” She told us when she came into the studio that when the technician was finished, she looked in the mirror and the lashes were so long that they looked ridiculous. She told her stylist that it wasn’t what she had in mind, so the stylist trimmed them with scissors! She went home thinking that maybe she just needed to get used to them, but they became uncomfortable and she still hated the way they looked. She called the salon and asked if the stylist could remove them and her response was that she “was pretty booked”.
This is how they looked before we removed them. Notice the blunt ends where they were cut and the clumps of rigid adhesive.
AMPLIF-eye Lash & Brow Fortifier
Oct 03, 2011
We can’t say enough about this product! We have lots of clients who have seen fabulous results with this new lash & brow fortifier. Some just want longer, fuller natural lashes so that they can have more dramatic lash extensions, while others are corrective clients who are trying to help their lashes get healthy after a poor application elsewhere.
This client came to us after having a bad experience at another salon. Her lashes were very thin and damaged. We tried to do as much as we could that day to try to disguise the damage while they filled out. After a few short weeks of using this product, she has so many new lashes we can apply extensions to and she’s looking fabulous!
We  are offering this product at an introductory price of $89. It will last 3-6 months, depending on how many times a day it is applied. We love that it is a natural peptide formula and does not have the harmful side effects of other lash growth serums on the market.

Introducing the X-50 curl!
Aug 02, 2011
Xtreme Lashes just came out with a brand new line of lashes, the X-50′s! We tried them out on some clients today and were really happy with the result. Most of our clients currently wear the X-40′s, which give a beautiful, naturally curled look. These new lashes have a more dramatic curl perfect for those with very straight natural lashes or clients looking for a more dramatic result.
These lashes can be mixed in with the X-40′s to achieve a little bit of drama with a fuller, more feathery look. We can also do an entire set with these for a very bold look–similar to the dramatic effect of strip lashes.
Let us know if you would like to try these at your next appointment!

The importance of proper application
Jul 28, 2011
A client recently came to our studio after getting “eyelash extensions” from another salon. She complained that her lashes felt uncomfortable and her eyes were very irritated after the procedure.
Anna examined her lashes and quickly realized the other technician had applied lash clusters or “flares” instead of individual eyelash extensions. These clusters are extremely heavy and can cause a lot of damage to the natural lashes. If worn over a long period of time, they will cause permanent damage to the eyelash follicles.
This application is a short-cut used by improperly trained technicians to attempt to achieve a full look in a short period of time. Our full set of eyelash extensions takes 2 hours because we apply up to 90 synthetic lashes per eye one by one to your individual lashes. If eyelash extensions are properly applied by a trained stylist, they will not cause any damage to your natural lashes.
Beware of salons who claim to apply a “full set” in 30 minutes!

Eyelash extension misconceptions
May 06, 2011
We are often asked if eyelash
extensions damage natural lashes. When eyelash extensions are
properly applied by a highly skilled and trained technician
exclusively using Xtreme Lashes products, the procedure does not
damage the natural lashes in any way. However, we have seen clients
come in with lashes that have been applied by untrained technicians
using mediocre products and they have suffered extensive damage to
their lashes as a result. Please visit the following link for more
