More procedures are bordering on medical procedures or include possibly harmful substances when used improperly, yet the industry is largely unregulated. Although most states require licensed estheticians to perform certain beauty treatments it varies from state to state.
Glycolic acid peels and other chemical based treatments often require specialized knowledge and possibly licensing. Yet other treatments such as manicure, pedicure and eyelash extensions have no regulations or only general health regulations.

This is why it is very important to understand the process of getting eyelash extensions, what to look for and what to avoid. • Eyelash Artists • If you are considering this procedure there are some definite choices to be made, some fun and some serious. The process, takes individual lash strands that are synthetic, mink or silk and each one is attached to an existing person’s eyelash with an adhesive. It is obvious that this procedure preformed directly around your eyes can be a dangerous procedure when done by inexperienced lash artists, those not properly trained or by using substandard materials.
In order to protect your eyes and eyelashes ensure that you only use well reputed salons and spas and that the last artist is a certified cosmetologist or esthetician. By having a person already trained in the beauty arts you run less of a risk of having a person performing a procedure out of their home who may have learned the art off of YouTube. All adhesives should also be formaldehyde free and should be industry standard for safe removal. There should also be a guarantee or warranty to provide a free touch up or fix within the first few days. An experienced lash artist should also be able to provide a great portfolio of past experience, proving their skill. • What you should know • Eyelash extensions can be applied in roughly 2 hours in can be maintained year-round with touch-ups monthly. Lashes can be different links and thicknesses to complement your own set of eyelashes and a proper lash artist will be able to provide consultation for the correct choices.
The adhesive used in eyelash extensions should not get in your eyes, because they should be closed during the entire procedure. Adhesives used should also be safe yet sometimes allergic reactions can happen. A lash artist will be able to let you know the difference between infection or an allergic reaction. If you experience a burning sensation at any point when you cry during the procedure can be cause for concern and you let your lash artist know immediately. Since eyelashes fall out every 6 to 8 weeks lash maintenance or reapplication is necessary. Otherwise have fun in choosing colors, textures, lengths and thicknesses. • Getting eyelash extensions San Antonio can be a fun way to look dazzling for the holiday season. Just ensure that your lash artist is certified and can answer all your discerning questions.
