LASH EXTENSIONS VS LASH LIFT

The decision between getting  lash extensions and a lash lift is difficult! That’s why we have come to rescue to help you in making the best decision to suit your lifestyle.

LASH LIFT

A lash lift is a service where 3 creams, and silicone shield are applied to your lashes, allowing a semi permanent curl to your lashes, with 3 options of curliness to choose from! The process takes up to 45 min, and last for up to 8 weeks, we also highly recommend getting our lash tint during the process, painting your lashes black to having your lashes allowing you to not worry about applying mascara.

PROS

  • Low maintenance
  • Natural look
  • You are still able to apply mascara

CONS

  • If you want a glamour look its not for you – try out extensions instead!
  • Won’t give you a voluminous look unless you already have a lot of lashes

LASH EXTENSIONS 

The process of lash extensions takes over an hour, where lashes are added to your natural lashes to create thicker and longer lashes. The lashes can be customised to the look you are after, whether this is thickness, length, dramatic or a natural look . Here at Esstudio we love to create a natural look for our clients, that will still also stand out and create definition .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

PROS

  • Throw away your mascara you wont need it no more
  • Allows for a dramatic look and will have your makeup standing out, or still looking amazing with none on
  • Time saver: eliminating the time spent on doing your makeup

CONS

  • High maintenance
  • Need to have infills every 2-3 weeks to keep them looking fabulous
  • Home maintenance you will need to brush your lashes everyday and be careful of what you use on your lashes.
The eyelash on the right, is a lot fuller as you can see we have  added the extension lashes on top.

Henna Brows vs. Tattoo Brows

Henna Brows vs. Tattoo Brows

Esstudio Galleria prides itself on top quality treatments this includes our Henna Brows;

The bespoke eyebrow treatment that is completely personalised to you!

Esstudio Galleria has introduced their new bespoke Henna Brow Treatment – an eyebrow solution completely personalised to you. The new treatment is now offered as a better, semi permanent option than eyebrow tattooing. Henna is the perfect alternative for those who want the bold look with little commitment.

Jacqui Arnold, Co-Founder and Beauty Director of Esstudio Galleria says, “Our bespoke henna eyebrow treatment is so much more than a standard eyebrow wax and tint. We custom-blend colour to suit your brow hair and skin tone and with the precise hair removal it creates brows that complement you and your style personally.”

Both henna and tattoo eyebrow treatments are most suited for those who want to restructure, define, cover or fill over-plucked brows. Both treatments being most popular for those who can no longer gain any natural hair growth, or to those who want to achieve a better bolder brow. The henna brow is the safest way with less commitment that will look just as good, if not better! 

Henna is currently trending for a reason! Many women want the look of full brows that microblading can offer, but don’t want the pricetag or commitment of a full cosmetic procedure. Henna is a beautiful compromise – it creates the illusion of fuller brows by staining the skin, much in the same way microblading creates the appearance of extra brow hair.

Henna Brows:

BEFORE 

AFTER


Henna lasts up to 5 weeks on the hair with 3 weeks wear on the skin giving you an overall look of a tattoo. There are so many options to have with the henna option.  With henna, eyebrows can be as dark or as subtle as requested. Colours are mixed to suit each individual.

Tattoo Brows:

Tattoo eyebrow treatment lasts generally 2 years, depending on your skin type.  Pigment is implanted into the skin, with a fine needle hand-held tool or tattoo machine that creates hair-like strokes to mimic the appearance of a natural looking brow.

“Tattoo brow treatment is not suited to everyone. Many people with oily or dewy skin types won’t have success maintaining the pigment. Once the pigment has been implemented, the colour is harder to reverse. Our new henna brow treatment is the perfect, natural looking brow and the best part is that it is suitable for everyone to try,” says Jacqui.
