FAQ’s About LVL
1. What does LVL stand for? It stands for length, volume and lift.
2. What does LVL do? LVL represents the latest technology in lash enhancements. Using a silicon shield at the base of your lashes, LVL lifts even the straightest lashes for a big lash look.
3. Why does the initial appointment take longer than follow up appointments? We must choose a silicon shield for the shape of your eyelid. Once we know which silicon shield to use we can use that size on all subsequent appointments.
4. How is LVL different from lash perming? Lash perming is a harsh treatment that curls the lashes in much the same way rollers curl your hair. It can sometimes make your lashes appear shorter, as a result. LVL doesn’t use any adhesives, rollers, or extensions. The silicon shield lifts the lash from the root for a big lash look that also makes your eye color pop.
5. Is it painful to get LVL? Not at all! In fact, it’s very relaxing.
6. How long does it last? LVL treatments last between 2-3 months, depending on your lash quality.
7. What kind of maintenance is involved? Hardly any. We do recommend the LVL Eyelash Conditioning Serum. It nourishes lashes, coating and sealing in moisture for a shinier, healthier appearance. It’s also excellent as a primer before using mascara.
8. Can I still get lash extensions if I want to? Absolutely. Just wait 48 hours before doing so. For downward sloping lashes, LVL is recommended first because the extensions will further slope the lashes if you don’t.
9. Can I swim with LVL? Yes. There are no stipulations with LVL.
10. How does LVL work? Instead of forcing straight lashes to curl, it lifts them from the root of the lash. The straight lash now appears longer and fuller looking without any adhesives or extensions.
11. Can I get my LVL Lashes tinted? Yes, we can tint them during the same session as your LVL treatment. Tinting gives you much more freedom and convenience.
12. Are there any other eye types that especially benefit from LVL? Yes, hooded and mature eyes love this treatment. It makes the eye appear more alert and sparkly.

Excuse #4: “I’ve Tried Absolutely Everything And Nothing Seems To Work”
Excuse #4: “I’ve Tried Absolutely Everything And Nothing Seems To Work”
This excuse is an interesting one for several reasons. Trying “everything” is a huge task and quite expensive!
There is so much on the market these days it’s difficult to try them all, but we get the point. You’re frustrated and tired of trying skin care products that don’t work, right?
So stop the madness!
Instead of going *to home parties and letting your hostess decide what’s best for you skin, get a professional skin analysis with a trained aesthetician. We’ve spent X number of hours learning about how skin functions. We even had to pass a state exam to practice our passion!
Hostesses for home parties don’t have that kind of training.
Forget cheap drugstore brands of skin care. These are loaded with filters that greatly reduce the minimal effectiveness of the brand. With this line of skin care you PAY for it.
Skin care from Oasis Health & Beauty Spa is an INVESTMENT. Why? Because it’s loaded with quality ingredients that are very active. Drugstore brands? Not so much.
There are no junk fillers, just pure, top-of-the-line ingredients that enhance your natural beauty. And just as important, our professional products last and last.
So take action. This time make it the right action, though. Get a skin analysis with us. Save money, look younger, and feel more comfortable in your skin.
We guarantee it!

Habits that Sabotage the Skin
Skin saboteurs…. There are three common habits that can wreak havoc on your skin. Let’s see what they are and what you can do about them.
Keeping outdated cosmetics – If you can’t remember the last time you used it, it’s probably been longer than three months.
Throw them away! Outdated products are bacteria-breeding farm. Everyone wants to save money, but you might end up spending more if your skin starts having problems. Mark the date on the container when you buy it. Better to be safe than sorry!
DIY Facials – We’ve all done this at one point or another, squeezing a zit, peeling off a scab, or picking a pimple until it bleeds. When you do this, you’re injuring your skin, which can lead to scarring.
Try to resist the temptation and let us handle these problems with the greatest of care.
Sleeping with your make-up on. You’ve been warned against this time and time again. Why? Because this bad habit not only ages your skin up to four days in one night, but it also creates a breeding ground for bacteria. That means blackheads and pimples.
If you think you can’t wash your face before hitting the hay, wipe your face with a pre-moistened towelette to remove the day’s make-up and grime.
These three skin saboteurs are really more about lifestyle choices. They’re easy to slip into, but with little effort, just as easy to slip out of.

Why We Will Never, EVER Cut Your Cuticles!
Have you ever heard of a nail salon cutting a person’s cuticles? Yes, sadly, it happens all too often.
The truth is you should never cut them! Why?
Cuticles have an extremely important function. They protect you from infection by preventing bacteria and fungus from getting into your body.
When cuticles are cut that barrier is gone.
Don’t cut them!
With our professional manicures, we will push back your cuticles, but we won’t cut them. It’s just not safe.
For dry, rough cuticles, which are an indication of dry hands, we will apply cuticle oil while filing your nails to soften them. Or, if your hands are very dry, we may encourage you to add a paraffin dip to your service.
Regular manicures and follow up home care are the best ways to keep your cuticles from becoming a problem.
To prevent hangnails and promote the health of your hands, get regular professional manicures. They will keep your hands and nails healthy, while making you feel more confident and prettier!
