Generally speaking, lash tint is safe and does not damage the eyes. The tints used on eyelashes are a mild version of hair dye. Usually, they are vegetable-based with a very low peroxide content. If or when there is irritation, it can be due to previous conditions such as sensitive or watery eyes, folliculitis, or skin irritations surrounding the eye area or other forms of dermatitis.
If someone is experiencing a case of folliculitis it could also be attributed to that. Otherwise, in a professional setting the service is safe.
What should you avoid after eyelash tint?
You should avoid the application of eye makeup and cleansing of the eye area for up to 48 hours if possible. Doing so allows the colour to properly saturate and set into the cuticle of the hair.
How often is it safe to tint eyelashes?
Eyelash tinting can be done every 4-6 weeks.
Does tint weaken the eyelashes?
Lash tint does not weaken the lashes. As mentioned above, the tint is a mild formulation that does not change the hair growth pattern or penetrate deep into the hair. However, like any form of chemical processing- mild or intense- you should always be conditioning, not only for the health of the hair but also to prolong the results of your service.
Located in Edmonton, we offer treatment for nail fungus. There are 3 major categories of nail fungus sources:
Ill-fitted shoes
Tight-fitting shoes create pressure that traumatizes the nail therefore making it vulnerable to infections.
Improper pedicures
What constitutes an improper pedicure? Examples include reusing of disposable tools, poor cleaning protocols, and cross contamination. The risk of cross contamination is high when a Service Provider jumps between two simultaneous pedicures in order to maximize the number of clients served.
People with healthy, unbroken skin won’t regularly have an issue with improper pedicures. However, someone with unhealthy feet may fall prey to a fungus infection.
Shoe humidity
Athletes are most likely to develop fungus infections due to the humidity in their shoes. In addition, they often use locker rooms which are known to provide conditions that make fungi thrive (humidity).
In addition to humidity, runners in particular create extra pressure as their feet pound the pavement. This pressure traumatizes the nail therefore making it vulnerable to infections.
Nail Fungus Treatment
There are different levels of nail fungus treatment.
Anti-fungal drops
This is something you can do at home. The natural toenail takes one year to replace itself. This is the amount of time it will take to care for your feet with drops.
Advanced pedicure
In an Anti-Fungal Tx, we cut the nail down to a safe point in order to cut and scoop as much fungus out. We then insert soaked therapeutic pads where the fungus was removed. As a result, there is less area for moisture to collect.
Your service provider will provide you with post care to continue to care for your infected nail at home.
Located in YEG, Dérmica offers Brow Lamination services. Brow Lamination is a perming service that sets your brows into position creating a fuller, more structured appearance. It can camouflage sparseness in the brows, add volume, and is on-trend with the natural brow look thats in right now.
How long does eyebrow lamination last?
Depending on the natural texture and condition of your brows prior to the service, the results can last anywhere from six to 12 weeks. The service can be paired with a brow tint to increase the contrast of the brow and add more definition.
Do brows go back to normal after lamination?
The eyebrows eventually go back to normal. The reason for this is because lashes and brows naturally replenish the strands about 20% every two weeks. So, the treated brow hair is replaced and the brows go back to their natural appearance.
Some people find that with continuous lamination services their brows can be trained to sit in a more flattering in-line position with the natural brow line. Lamination helps to tame unruly brows. It can really help people with coarse wiry brows to maintain them flush to the skin instead of sticking out.
Service Frequency
Our minimum recommendation is 6 weeks. This is working under the assumption that the person’s natural brow is in a healthy condition. This can be achieved naturally or be aided with the help of a brow growth conditioner such as Adoreyes.
Is brow lamination painful?
Eyebrow lamination is not a painful service as it is not invasive. You may experience some slight irritation due to the application method but any reactions typically subside with in 15-30 minutes.
As a gardener you are exposed to a lot of soil and other drying and possibly irritating materials. To protect your nails while gardening, we recommend the use of a good hand moisturizer to minimize the drying effects. Thicker moisturizers are ideal when working with moisture or water as they have a bit more water-resistance.
Aside from that you can also include the use of gardening gloves that will provide complete protection. The lotion on the inside will help prevent chafing from the fabric.
Cuticle care
The cuticles will be dryer due to that exposure. So, using things such as cuticle oil or a cuticle serum is very helpful. Plus, doing a thorough cleaning using a nail brush after gardening underneath the nails is important.
Manicures are the ideal way of treating and maintaining your hands. A detailed manicure will include care of the cuticles and cleaning of the nails which can also resolve staining issues.
What is included in a classic manicure?
The classic manicure includes a detailed cleaning and grooming of the nail plate, the cuticle area, the surrounding tissue on the nails, and underneath. It also includes shaping and evening out the nail length. In addition, it includes a relaxing hand massage to help rehydrate and nourish the skin and cuticles. The cherry on top? A warm paraffin dip to help relax the knots and muscles and stimulate circulation in the hands which leaves the hands with a youthful glow.
What is the difference between a gel manicure and a classic manicure?
Gel manicure include all of the classical manicure components with the addition of the light-cured gel polish.
Can you garden with gel nails?
Gel polish is fine when you garden as long as you protect your manicure. The dryness may cause it chip a little sooner than you’d like it to. On the other hand, if you have gel nail extensions, depending on the length of the extension, they may interfere with tactile movements.
Located in Edmonton, we offer Lash Lift and Tint services in our spa menu. This popular service creates lift, curl, and definition to your natural lashes. The results are immediate and last between six to eight weeks.
Tint on darker lashes?
Often clients will opt for the lash lift with tint even when they have darker eyelashes. This is because it creates a bigger contrast which makes the eyelashes really pop! Especially for clients with lighter coloured eyes, adding tint to the lash lift results in the eye colour appearing brighter.
Is it safe to tint my eyelashes?
We use specialized dyes on eyelashes that have a relatively lower peroxide content of 3% as opposed to hair dye. The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair.
Peroxide pops the scales of your hair up so the colour can tuck itself into the cuticle of the hair. Eventually you mask it and seal it back up. Higher percentages really open up those scales often resulting in split ends. The wider the scales are opened, the harder it is to close them once you’re done.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in the specialized tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Lash Repair
If you love Lash Lifts and you get them regularly, we recommend treating the eyelashes with a daily conditioner will help to repair and strengthen the lashes. There are a few options available for lash and brow serums to boost the health of natural lashes. At Dérmica, we retail Adoreyes Lash and Brow serums in-store or online.
Experience the lash lift benefits for yourself! Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers a full spa menu that includes this popular eyelash enhancement service.
During a lash lift, we use different sizes of silicone pads to “lift” each lash individually and create a subtle, natural looking curl. There are many benefits to the lash lift, let’s review a few.
Clean and classy curl finish
The full and natural yet perfect look is not the only benefit of a lash lift, but it’s a top one!
No artificial glue left to strain lashes
When it comes to the preservation of the integrity of the hair, lash lifts are gentler on the lashes in relation to other eyelash enhancement methods. For example, lash extensions require each lash to be connected to an artificial lash with adhesive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the lash lift, you process one time and then work on repair.
Cost effective, no fill required
The lash lift is a very low-maintenance service in comparison to other methods. Less frequent required visits is another benefit of the lift. Someone who can’t devote time every 2-3 weeks to fills would prefer the lift because you are looking at 6-10 weeks before you need another lift (depending on your natural lashes).
Lashes remain washable and makeup friendly
You’re looking at 48 hours post-treatment where you have to be cautious. However, after this period your lashes are safe for normal wear.
