FAQ’s About Eyelash Tinting By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
1. Will lash tinting make my eyelashes fall out?
It’s highly unlikely. We use an all vegetable dye, which minimizes irritation. However, it’s our policy to have you do a patch test 24-48 hours before your first application, just to make sure you have no allergies to the dye.
2. How long will lash tinting last?
About 3-5 weeks.
3. Should I take any precautions after I get my lashes tinted?
Yes, once your lashes have been tinted, do not get them wet for at least 24 hours. You want to make sure the dye is fully dry.
4. Can I swim with my lashes tinted?
Absolutely! You can exercise, watch a tearjerker movie, and peel onions without the hassle of mascara streaking.
5. Why do you want me to get a patch test before the application? I’ve never been allergic to anything.
Although it is unlikely for you to have a reaction to the dye, we like to be absolutely sure. It’s just a precaution.
6. Can I choose a color the same way I do with mascara?
Yes, you can. And we have many to choose from.
7. What if I want to change to a different color the next time I get my lashes tinted? Can I do that?
Sure! You can change the color as often as you like.
8. Can I wear mascara with my lash tinting?
Yes, but the mascara remover will fade the dye, shortening the life of your lash tinting.
9. Is lash tinting safe?
Our lash tinting is an all vegetable dye. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals. It is very safe, but we do recommend a patch test 24-48 hours before the application to make sure you have no reaction.
10. Can anyone apply lash tinting?
Unfortunately, yes. That’s why we recommend you have a professional apply the tint. You don’t want someone with minimal experience-or none at all—to work with your eyes. Always get a trained professional for such a delicate task.

Aren’t All Eye Cremes Pretty Much The Same?

Aren’t All Eye Cremes Pretty Much The Same? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
The short answer, no way! That’s like saying all skincare is the same. Can you imagine creating one product for oily, dry, or combination skin? Pretty silly, huh? That’s why there are different formulations of eye cremes to meet your specific needs.
Some are specially formulated for dry or sensitive skin. Others smooth fine lines, minimize dark circles and reduce puffiness. Some eye cremes will even attack all of those problems at once.
Talk to us about what you want to achieve and we can show you the best formulation for your needs. The important thing to remember is this: eye cremes must be lightweight and glide on easily.
Since most of us wear foundation and eye make-up, applying a heavier facial moisturizer near your eye area can cause your make-up to run. Eye cremes are lighter and melt right into the skin preventing raccoon eyes.
But what if your eye area is dry? Can you use oil around your eyes? The answer here is a cautious yes. Ophthalmologist tested and approved oils specially formulated for this area are best.
These are far less likely to clog the delicate tissue causing milia, or white bumps.

Snacking For Beautiful Skin

Snacking For Beautiful Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Did you know that snacking can actually be good for your skin? The trick is to eat the right foods every few hours to keep your blood sugar stable for fewer breakouts, rashes, and wrinkles.
What’s the secret? Well, for starters, do NOT skip meals! This just makes you tired and causes your body to store fat. When you finally do eat, your blood sugar goes sky high and your insulin level rises. And that means more oil production and the release of more male sex hormones. (In case you’re wondering, that’s a bad thing!)
Now before you run out and buy a bunch of rice cakes and pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, know this. The best snacks for your skin contain fiber, protein, and healthy fats, allowing you to maintain a steady blood sugar level.
Does that mean snacking has to be boring? Only if you consider strawberries dipped in dark chocolate boring! Include small packs of dried cherries and almonds, too.
Love your skin and it will love you back!

7 Secrets That Are Okay To Tell Your Aesthetician By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
“I just want a facial,” the woman said with irritation. “I don’t know why you need to know that.”
And there you have it. The universal challenge of every aesthetician on planet Earth: helping clients understand that facials are much more than a “feel good, look good” treatment.
Facials work with the largest organ of your body: the skin. Every medication you take as well as your lifestyle choices—even your emotions—are filtered through your skin.
That’s why aestheticians ask those pesky questions! The better she understands you, the better she understands your skin and how to treat it.
So without further adieu, here are 7 questions that signal you’re working with a professional:
– What’s your at-home skin care routine?
– What prescription medications are you taking? Any topicals like Retin A?
– Any health problems?
– Any adverse reactions to products or ingredients?
– Your lifestyle: Do you smoke? If so, how much? Do you eat a lot of processed foods?
– When was the last time you had a facial?
– Are you currently seeing a dermatologist?
There you have it. Seven questions that signal you’re working with a professional.
And remember, even if your esthetician has been working with you for a long time, she will still want to be updated on any changes to your health.

3X Brighter Than The Sun And It Won’t Burn Your Skin!

3X Brighter Than The Sun And It Won’t Burn Your Skin! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Pretty amazing, huh?
LED light technology, the highly acclaimed and widely documented therapy, is actually 3X brighter than the sun when it’s applied to your skin. So why doesn’t it burn?
Because it uses low-level pulses of red and/or infrared lights to activate skin cells, which is actually healing to your body!
LED converts the light energy already found in skin cells to promote healing and anti-aging effects. It also pulls collagen to the surface to fill in lines and wrinkles.
Studies show that skin exposed to LED light grows by 150-200% faster. The reason is simple. Your skin has a high blood water content. That means it absorbs the light, (in this case the color red) quickly increasing the natural healing process.
Strong enough to repair damaged tissues, but not to harm them in any way, LED gives you complete peace of mind. No recovery time required.
Very affordable, LED is also the best value on the market today. What’s not to love?
