All About Hair & Lashes

I am typically one to try anything.  It’s one reason why I started blogging.  I love new experiences and trying something different.  However, beauty is something I would never claim to be an expert in for sure, but I am just now getting into more beauty services and products.  I wear makeup and “do” my hair usually on a daily basis, but would say I keep it pretty basic, and dare I say “low maintenance”.

HAIR

So, I did this thing a couple weeks ago for the FIRST time in 33 years…I colored my hair.  I have always been hesitant due to the maintenance and the risk of not liking it.  I have never “disliked” the natural color of my hair, but at the same time, it is a little boring.

I was super excited to have my friend, Larn Schell, at Urban Nirvana Hair to do my hair for the 1st time!  I have always toyed with the idea of coloring my hair, but have always been hesitant to commit.  I’ve said it before, but in the last 5 years or so I have really made treating myself and making myself feel beautiful more of a priority.  So, I finally decided to go for it and I am SO happy I did!

LASHES

A little over a year ago, I shared my experience with eyelash extensions and I TRULY loved them and highly recommend them to someone that can afford them and has time for the upkeep.  I did it for a while, but they ended up not being for me.  When I heard about lash tinting and lifting, I was instantly interested.  I have recently made Organic Tan Face & Body my spa of choice and have tried many of their services, including nails, tanning, and facials.  So, I was super excited to try our their Lash Lift & Tint service.

This process takes your natural lashes and applies a perm to them, so that they maintain a curl, and a tint, so that they have the appearance of wearing mascara.  The treatment takes only 1 hour from start to finish.

BEFORE

(Warning – we’re about to get real up close and personal to my face & eyes!)

The silicone mold holds the lashes in place while the perming solution (pink) is applied.

AFTER

Before & After (No mascara!)

The results are amazing and tend to last 4-6 weeks!  Let’s just say that I was instantly hooked and really sold when I applied mascara the next day for a more dramatic look!  Whether you are interested in lash extensions or the lash lift and tint, you should definitely check out Organic Tan Face & Body! They have the sweetest staff!  Use code GLOGALSHANA for 10% off any 1st time service!
