​

good deeds. Like ripples in a pond.
​
Look beautiful, be confident, and feel good knowing that your relaxing service is better for you and the planet!
Brow Lamination is also sometimes known as a brow lift, akin to a "lash lift" for your brows. It is a 30-60 minute process that immediately gives you fuller-looking & shapely brows. The system realigns your brow hairs into your desired shape. Brow Lamination is the perfect solution for asymmetrical brows or brows that need redirection to give shape.
​
Each Brow Lamination appointment includes the lift, brow tinting, and waxing/tweezing. Giving you shapely, pigmented, voluminous brows! Results lasting 6-8 weeks.
​
Brow Lamination is not ideal for all brows. There must be brow hairs present to perform the service. Reach out for a free consultation if you have any questions!
A Lash Lift is a process on your natural lashes, without extensions. Think of a lift as a very gentle hair perm for your natural lashes. A Lash Lift will curl your natural lashes, lasting up to two months! Eliminating the daily routine of curling eyelashes.
​
For best results, lash tinting is also recommended with the lash lift. A tint will darken the natural lashes, for top and lower lashes. Coupling these together minimizes your makeup routine.
Maintenance is super low for Lash Lifts & Brow Laminations: For the 48 hours after your service avoid moisture. Keeping your lashes or brows away from water or steam baths or mascara. After this period you may wear makeup and wash your face as normal.
​
After Care for Lash Extensions is a bit more involved! Here is what I recommend:
DO THIS
-
Allow 24 hours after each application to avoid moisture.
-
Cleanse daily to remove makeup and build-up from lashes & base.
-
Avoid rubbing or picking.
-
Brush through daily with spoolie wand.
-
Use only approved products available to remove makeup and cleanse and condition lashes.
NOT THIS
-
Saunas and steam rooms will loosen the curl and weaken the bond.
-
Avoid oil-based products and excessive sweating. Oils will weaken the adhesive bond.
-
Do not use oil-based skin care products, cream shadows, oil-based eyeliner, or waterproof makeup.
-
Do not use mechanical eyelash curlers.
-
Mascara significantly shortens the life of extensions. There are other suitable cosmetic options.
Eyelash Extensions are made of lightweight, synthetic material that comes in a wide variety of lengths, thickness, curl styles, and colors. When a full set is applied, eyelash extensions eliminate the need to wear mascara and use an eyelash curler. Whiplashes does not use mink fur for extensions. Genuine hair is not aligned with ethical and sanitary ethos in our salon.
​
The application is performed by a trained professional. Each natural lash is isolated to have only one single extension bond. One strand extension for classic application and custom made 2-5 strand bundle for hybrid and volume applications. Each extension applied is expertly chosen for the length, weight, diameter, and curl; suited for each of your natural lashes being extended. Careful adhesives with low fume are used for sensitive eyes.
​
The three primary categories of Eyelash Extensions include Classic, Volume, and Hybrid.
Classic lashes
-
Thicker than your natural lashes to mimic mascara coated lashes.
-
Come in various length, curl, thickness to create personalized look.
-
Can be applied for range of looks, everyday beautiful - glamorous.
-
Applied 1 extension per 1 natural lash.
Volume lashes
-
Lightweight extensions applied using multiple fibers in a fan shape on a single isolated natural lash. Builds a soft, density.
-
Less adhesive, less weight than classics.
-
These synthetic lashes are a fraction of the width of classic extensions. Making this an ideal choice for those with fragile natural lashes. But great for anyone!
-
Come in various lengths, curls. Build looks from natural to lush dramatic.
Hybrid lashes
-
Mix of extension techniques. Best of all worlds.
-
Get density and fluttery lashes.
-
Using multiple techniques to give texture to the set of lashes.
Although a one-and-done Lash Extension set can be a great option for a special occasion, with proper maintenance and routine fills lash extensions can be worn for years and years!
​
Maintain lash fullness with fill appointments every 2-3 weeks. During the weeks between appointments your natural lashes will have grown and some have shed. Your lashes are always in one of the multiple phases of the natural growth cycle. Babies growing in and mature lashes shed out. Extensions are attached to your natural lash and will shed along with them. We will "fill in" extensions that have grown and shed. Fill appointments take one hour. We affectionately call this the lash nap.
​
If your extensions have shed excessively, less than 5 remaining per eye, a full set will need to be applied. Not a fill appointment.
Arrive with clean lashes free of mascara. Time spent cleaning your lashes is time lost working on perfecting your lashes. It is also preferred you remove contacts before any lash services. Bring your contact lens case along. We will have cases and saline available for your use.
​
We will have a consultation to discuss your lash goals. Creating a tailored design just for you.
You will then be reclined with your eyes closed for the entire service. I provide a blanket if you'd like to get extra cozy! Most people fall asleep. For your full set, expect a relaxing experience lasting to 2 or 3 hours, depending on the type of set being applied.
​
Maintaining your extensions with fills, about every 2-3 weeks, is a 1 hour appointment.
​
Lifts take about 45 minutes for your first time, and 30-45 minutes for returning lifts. Add 15 minutes for lash or brow tinting.
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, then yes I would recommend a Consultation.
Do you currently have any extensions from another shop?
Do you have concerns about potential allergic reactions?
Do you have damaged, sparse, fine, broken, gappy, or other special lash or brow situation?
​
A complimentary Consultation appointment or correspondence in these cases is important so your lashes or brows can be properly assessed. With the above circumstances, we may not be able to jump right into the service. We want you to achieve your lash goals and it may not be possible within the time allotted for the originally desired service.
​
By booking your no-charge Consultation we can answer all your questions and determine the best path for your lash journey. With limited in-person appointments, please email me at Lynn@Whiplashes.org to discuss solutions to suit you!
We use high-grade adhesives. Very similar to the kind used as surgical sutures. Although the utmost care is taken to select the highest quality products in the industry, some people are sensitive to adhesives.
​
If you have known allergies to types of adhesives, glues, or acrylics; consult with a technician before service. If you have concerns, come in for a patch test and Consultation at no charge. The results will be apparent in 72 hours or less.
Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own!
​
If you wish to have your extensions removed seek professional help from your technician. A safe gentle removal is available. We will not be held liable for any damage that you may cause by trying to remove the eyelash extensions on your own.

Eyelash extensions attach to a natural lash. There must be a hair there for an extension to be applied. That being said, ECHO specializes in treating delicate lashes.
Schedule a free consultation, let's discuss your lash goals.
We're all about sustainability here at ECHO. While mega volume lashes are very beautiful, we do not believe the look is sustainable long term for natural lashes.
