How good eyebrows can be a girls (and boys!) best friend!

There are currently three treatments available at The Wax Factor to make your brows a more prominent feature on your face whilst looking natural. Firstly a hot wax can make a big difference – although I hot  wax my clients, when it comes to my own I’m always slap dash due to no time – having your brows waxed by a beautician not only saves you time on the flip side a fresh pair or eyes can sort out any issues you currently have and break the cycle of uneven brows. 

We can also tint your brows – I have heard so many times from clients they had has this done in the past years ago but the therapist made them too dark or they didn't last – I let my clients decide how dark or light their brows go and with proper aftercare your brow tint should last at least 3 -4 weeks (please note tint test required at least 28 hours prior to appointment)

Lastly if you don’t want to venture for a tint just yet what about some eyebrows powder brushed through your brows to see if you like them more defined and the powder also help fill in the gaps of missing hair thus mimicking brow hair - I will do the brow powder tutorial in facebook later this week and post up the video.

Having nice brows really can shape a client’s face so let’s make the most of them! After all they are all yours!

I Love LVL!

I trained in LVL nearly five years ago- my clients wanted great lashes but a few struggled with maintaining eyelash extensions. The solution for my clients was LVL which stands for Length Volume and Lift! It's great for short as well as long lashed clients. I have to tint test new clients to LVL at least 48 hours prior to the appointment and as long as there are no reactions we can proceed with the LVL!  I take the clients natural lashes glue onto a mould then set the lashes with various solutions and at the end a colour boost is added.  The end result is full lifted lashes.

Clients me how long LVL lasts. This depends on if the client looks after the lashes and follows the aftercare advise and also the length of their lashes. Medium length lashes have a life cycle of eight weeks so I would say 6-8 weeks for that client but for clients with long lashes at least eight weeks as long as after are advise is followed.  After care is minimal -you just need to brush them at least once a day - as long as you look after your lashes they will last you a long time.

This is a fantastic treatment for busy people.  This lash treatment means you wake up every morning with full voluminous lashes that mimic false lashes and they last plus they are your own lashes so no watching what you do. It genuinely looks like you have make up and really opens up your eyes!

Every four weeks I recommend LVL clients to have another colour boost and this really brings the LVL back to life so I are really getting more value for money.

If clients are going on holiday and they plan to do a lot of swimming I recommend LVL lashes as they are so easy to keep and maintain.  This a very popular treatment at The Wax Factor simply because it's such a time saver for people plus it can look really dramatic but natural.

The cost of LVL is £45 and the treatments takes one hour
