Eyelash Extension Touch-Ups
It is necessary to get touch-ups every 2-5 weeks to add lashes to the new growth as a person`s natural eyelashes falls out every 60 to 120 days and a new lash grows in. Some clients have had their extensions on for years with regular visits.
Your initial appointment will take approximately 2-3 hours depending on the look you want to achieve and how many natural lashes you have. Refill appointments take 45-60 min.

Butterfly Lash Solutions Faux-Mink and Real Mink Lash Extensions
We use Butterfly Lash Solutions Faux-mink and mink lash extensions. Faux-mink lashes, which are man-made fibers, designed to imitate real mink fur. They are very fine, soft and silky, just like real fur. However, they have been improved, in that if you wet them, they won`t lose their curl. When wet real mink fur lashes become straight and wispy and you often need to use a curler to curl them back up. Faux-mink lashes are becoming very popular because they are so light and fine, they feel exactly like your own lashes. They are also shiner in texture than the silk lashes, giving the lashes a glossy look. They are (with proper care!) very long lasting, and are great if your own lashes are fine and weak. Because they are so fine, the surface-area-ratio between your own lash and the extensions is much closer to 1:1 (with synthetic it can be 1:2 or even higher) so they last longer.

Volume Lashes
Volume Lashes Is A New Innovation In Eyelash Extensions
Beau Lash & Brow Spa Extensions in Birmingham brings you “Hollywood Volume Lashes” – Volume Lashes 2D-6D!
What Are Volume Lashes?
“Volume” lashes are a new technique that entered the North American lash industry in 2013.
Volume lashes (aka Russian Volume) was, in fact, developed by master lash artists in Russia and Ukraine some say 3-5 years ago! Irina Levchuk of Lash & Brow Academy from Russia brought her own volume technique to Canada in May 2013, for the first hands-on RuVol training in North America!
It is clear, our lash industry will never be the same! Volume Lashes lash extensions are here to stay!
What Makes Volume Different From Classic Eyelash Extensions?
With classic eyelash extensions we can achieve amazing looks that crush what even the best and most expensive mascaras can offer. We have always been limited by the amount of natural lashes a client has, as well as the different amount of lashes on each eye. This pushes us to lash to the weakest eye to maintain symmetry. For years our clients have wanted more from their eyelash extensions. However, our only options were longer and thicker diameters, which became problematic when our client’s natural lashes could not safely support these extensions.
The Volume Technique Has Become The Answer!
Volume eyelash extension techniques allow us to apply multiple extensions to one isolated natural lash. The “Russian Volume” technique masterfully achieves this with far thinner lashes than we have typically used. The result? A full, lush lash line that appears fluffy and soft and maintains the health and safety of our client’s natural lashes.
“Typically, The Diameters Used For The Volume Technique Are 0.05, 0.07 And 0.10. We Also Use A Significantly Smaller Amount Of Adhesive.”
“Will this damage the natural lashes?”
No! And here is why:
Although one brand of lashes differ from another, in general terms, what we have learned is that three .07 diameter lashes weigh approximately as much as one .15 diameter lash.
With volume eyelash extensions, we are able to use less adhesive than with Classic lash extensions and achieve a better hold. This is because with “Multi-Pick Up” Volume, the “bouquet” or “fan” of the thinner lashes hug the natural lash making more contact. A minimal amount of adhesive is needed (.5 – .1mm or less than a single bead of adhesive).
Volume eyelash extensions has many different names and can be created in different ways.
- “Capping” is with a thinner and usually shorter lash placed high or low on the original extension.
- “Multi-lashing” is placing thin diameter extensions of the SAME length, one-by-one on the natural lash (aka “stacking”).
- “Multi-Pick Up” approach (The Russian/Ukraine Volume techniques including: twisting/pinching, karate chop and “pick up and place” versions of this approach).
Some commonly used terms for Volume application:
- 2D- 2 lashes per one natural lash
- 3D- 3 lashes per one natural lash
- 4D- 4 lashes per one natural lash
- 5D- 5 lashes per one natural lash
- 6D- 6 lashes per one natural lash (aka as Hollywood)
Mastering Volume lash extension techniques have stumped even the most talented and experienced lash artists. Many have said “This makes me feel like a newbie all over again!” It can take months to retrain your hands, wrists, and eyes to master the micro-movements that these techniques require. Those who have achieved the true Russian Volume look have worked tirelessly, practicing for hours and hours on many sets of eyes to gain that voluminous soft and fluffy look. No mascara in the world can duplicate true Russian Volume lashes.

Eyelash Care
What Should You Do After Your Eyelash Extension Appointment?
- Do not perm or tint lashes after lash extension application.
- Do not use a regular eyelash curler to curl extensions (you won’t need to curl your extensions).
- Do not rub your eyes or lashes when washing your face. Clean around the eyes with a washcloth
- Do not pull your lash extensions, as it will take out your own lash as well!
- Do not go in a sauna while wearing eyelash extensions for at least for 48 hrs. Do not get them wet at all for 24 hrs.
- If you choose to wear mascara – only apply to the tips and use water-based mascara that washes off easily.
- Do not try to remove the extensions on your own, call me and I will remove them without harming your natural lashes
- Do not cut the extensions (you may cut your own lashes).
- Clean your eye make-up, but be gentle with your lash extensions.
- Remember to come in for touch-ups (2-4 weeks).
- Never tug, twist, pick, or pull at your lashes or extensions.
- Treat your eyes gently – as if you have makeup on that you don’t want to smudge.
- Brush and groom your lashes gently with a disposable mascara spoolie or eyeshadow brush (best choice).
- Try to sleep on your back or side, avoid smashing your lashes completely as you sleep.
- When using night creams/serums, apply sparingly and blot off excess.
- When you touch your lashes, always use upward, sweeping motions – no side to side rubbing at the lash line.
- Keep your fingers off your lashes. Every time you touch them you are transferring natural oil and germs.
