• In the world of beauty there are numerous
  treatments for various fashion styles and trends
  all in the pursuit of perfecting your look. The
  number of spa treatments have ballooned as modern
  techniques have exploded to include skin care,
  facial care, beauty treatments for various body
  parts and more. The one overlying and guiding
  advice to follow is to ensure they are performed
  by quality, certified professionals from
  reputable salons, spas and health institutes. One
  such treatment that needs to be carefully
  considered and the provider properly vetted is
  for eyelash extension treatments in San Antonio.
• Wild West
• The beauty market is often referred to as the
  wild west of fashion medicine. More procedures
  are bordering on medical procedures or include
  possibly harmful substances when used improperly,
  yet the industry is largely unregulated. Although
  most states require licensed estheticians to
  perform certain beauty treatments it varies from
  state to state.

• Glycolic acid peels and other chemical based
  treatments often require specialized knowledge
  and possibly licensing. Yet other treatments such
  as manicure, pedicure and eyelash extensions have
  no regulations or only general health
  regulations. When looking to get eyelash
  extensions anyone with a pair of tweezers, a
  supply of fake eyelashes and some glue can open a
  shop. This is why it is very important to
  understand the process of getting eyelash
  extensions, what to look for and what to avoid.
• Eyelash Artists
• If you are considering this procedure there are
  some definite choices to be made, some fun and
  some serious. The process, takes individual lash
  strands that are synthetic, mink or silk and each
  one is attached to an existing persons eyelash
  with an adhesive. It is obvious that this
  procedure preformed directly around your eyes can
  be a dangerous procedure when done by
  inexperienced lash artists, those not properly
  trained or by using substandard materials.

• In order to protect your eyes and eyelashes
  ensure that you only use well reputed salons and
  spas and that the last artist is a certified
  cosmetologist or esthetician. By having a person
  already trained in the beauty arts you run less
  of a risk of having a person performing a
  procedure out of their home who may have learned
  the art off of YouTube. All adhesives should also
  be formaldehyde free and should be industry
  standard for safe removal. There should also be a
  guarantee or warranty to provide a free touch up
  or fix within the first few days. An experienced
  lash artist should also be able to provide a
  great portfolio of past experience, proving their
  skill.
• What you should know
• Eyelash extensions can be applied in roughly 2
  hours in can be maintained year-round with
  touch-ups monthly. Lashes can be different links
  and thicknesses to complement your own set of
  eyelashes and a proper lash artist will be able
  to provide consultation for the correct choices.

• The adhesive used in eyelash extensions should
  not get in your eyes, because they should be
  closed during the entire procedure. Adhesives
  used should also be safe yet sometimes allergic
  reactions can happen. A lash artist will be able
  to let you know the difference between infection
  or an allergic reaction. If you experience a
  burning sensation at any point when you cry
  during the procedure can be cause for concern and
  you let your lash artist know immediately. Since
  eyelashes fall out every 6 to 8 weeks lash
  maintenance or reapplication is necessary.
  Otherwise have fun in choosing colors, textures,
  lengths and thicknesses.
• Getting eyelash extensions San Antonio can be a
  fun way to look dazzling for the holiday season.
  Just ensure that your lash artist is certified
  and can answer all your discerning questions.
