Marvellash & Flirties Eyelash Extensions.

Eyelash extensions have recently become a really big trend in the salon. It used to be just for weddings, holidays and special occasions, but now my clients can't be without their lashes!

The products I use are Salon System Marvellash lashes and Flirties glue.

I used to use the marvellash glue which I couldn't get along with whatsoever so I was looking around for a while for a lash glue that I could use which would dry in 1-5 seconds so i could get my sets done  quickly and so my client isn't laying there for ages waiting for her lashes to dry and not sting!

This is a set I did last week, my client has size 9mm in the inner corner, blending into size 11mm to fill out the lashes. These are my favourite look, I much prefer these to longer lashes, even when some clients like to have 13mm or 15mm through to make them appear more feathery, these ones to me are more flattering. 

The lashes are fab though, my clients love them! Thick enough but still natural. The main lengths I use are 9mm,11mm and a few 13mm dotted through to have the fluttery effect. A couple of people will have 15mm on but mainly younger ladies who don't necessarily want a natural look.
Most clients will go 2 weeks in between appointments to keep them fresh some will go 3 weeks but of course there is more work to do and it will cost them more.

I use www.ellisons.co.uk to get all of my lash stock (minus the glue). You have to be qualified and make sure that ellisons have your certificate before you can buy anything, but after that you can buy the whole range!
Ellisons offer free delivery over £50, which is very easy to go over!

As I said before, I use the flirties glue. Again, you have to be qualified and show your certificate before you can buy anything.
 I just find it is so much stronger and dries so quickly. It does have a slight odour but nothing too strong to sit above.
I use the flirties expert black adhesive and it works perfectly for me.

Flirties also will send out test pots of different glues for you to try to see what you prefer for free! Just pay postage (I think!)

All in all clients have never been happier and they have never wanted their lashes done so much!

I will do a post on the fun coloured lashes post soon. They look like this!

What colour tips would you like in your lashes? I love the blue and purple!
