Calling all Lash Lovers...Borboleta Lash Serum was made for ALL lash clients...extension girls--that mean you, TOO!

3/24/2021

Hey 𝑙𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 clients! Did you know Borboleta 𝑙𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑢𝑚 was made for YOU too?

Let me share some of the benefits we’ve discovered that can combat those challenges some clients experience with lash extension:

> ʀᴇᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ

Everyone has different lash shed cycles. Some people cycle through their lashes quicker than others. Obviously, if you have a quick shed cycle, you’re lash extensions will shed with them, causing poor retention. With this product, clients natural lashes appear to retain better, leading to better lash extension retention!

Lash extensions are not immune to the laws of physics. If a lash extension is too heavy for a natural lash, it will droop, twists, or even fall off. Some clients just have finer, weaker lashes, that struggle holding the weight of extensions. Borboleta’s lash serum contains 𝑏𝑖𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑛, 𝑘𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛, 𝑝𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠, 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑠, & 𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑘𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 which conditions and nourishes for stronger, healthier lashes!

Lash serum is price-pointed at only $65 by design! Knowing us lash lovers already spend a pretty penny on our extensions and lifts, they had hope this affordable price point would encourage clients to use it with their lash services.

> ғᴏʀᴍᴜʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ

Clients ask us all the time if their lash serum is ok to use with extensions. And the answer is 🤷‍♀️ We don’t know those products or what the manufacturers had in mind when they developed them. But we do know Borboleta’s; each ingredient was carefully selected as to not disrupt the lash extensions or break down the adhesive as other products may.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

To stain or laminate...that is the question...

Oh so many questions about brows...

What's the difference between a stain and lamination? Or maybe you've decided on lamination, but should you tint/stain them too? Or you may be concerned going with a stain or lamination might be too bold...should you just do a brow wax and tint? Before you know it, you're so confused, you've decided to just stick with what you've been doing...getting an add-on 5 minute brow wax at your nail salon! Or worse...NOTHING!

With so many options, it can be very confusing. In most cases, it’s just preference on what type of look you’re going for, but even knowing what type of look you want can be overwhelming, especially if you're not use to working with your brows. So, I've put together a guide of the most popular brow services: what they are, how long it will last, and who it is and isn't recommended for.

Brow Stains

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> A skin stain and brow hair tint
> This service includes a wax

ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Color will last on skin for 5-10 days and on hairs 4-6 weeks

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients looking to create a defined, crisp shape
> Clients who prefer a brow wax

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients with oilier skin may not hold color on the skin
> Clients who only want to tint brow hairs and not the skin

Brow Lamination with Tint

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are chemically treated to lift hairs up and into a shape
> Brow hairs are tinted
> Waxing is NOT recommended with this service

ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Hairs remain lifted for 4-6 weeks
> Color will last on skin for 1-3 days and on hairs 4-6 weeks

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want a “fluffier” full shaped brow
> Clients who don’t require a brow wax
> Clients who want to add shape with color

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients with missing or very sparse areas of the brow
> Clients who require a brow wax

Lamination Only (No Tint)

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are chemically treated to lift hairs up and into a shape
> Waxing is NOT recommended with this service

ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want a “fluffier” brow and already have a naturally full brow
> Clients who don’t require a brow wax
> Clients who want a natural look OR those who fill their brows in manually with makeup (replaces tint)
> Clients who want to cover grays

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients with missing or very sparse areas of the brow
> Clients who require a brow wax

Brow Tint

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are tinted using a demi-permanent solution.

ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Color will remain on hairs for approximately 4 weeks.
> A slight shading may remain on the skin, but will wash off within 1-3 days

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want to try something on their brows but are afraid of over-doing it. This is a great place to start if you've never had anything done to your brows and/or aren't used to filling them in.
> Clients who want to darken their brow hairs or cover grays
> Any hair removal method can be added to this service: waxing, tweezing, and/or trimming.

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want to create a shape but do not have much to work with (try henna, or for a more permanent solution, microblading.)

Brow Sculpt

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Mapping, waxing, trim & tweeze if needed, makeup app, and consult all in one

ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> 4 weeks
> Makeup will wash off

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Brow wax clients
> Clients who need assistance finding shades and makeup application techniques that work for them
> Clients who aren't sure what to do with their brows and would like a consult
> Clients getting waxed in the middle of the day who need the red covered up
> Clients who's brows do not have a defined shape and need a guided map before waxing

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Anyone can get this service

I hope this sheds some insight on what is the perfect brow service for you. If you're still confused, we recommend you schedule a consult so you can decide what to do next! Happy brow-ing :)
