We are all human. We all need connection. We usually find a person we connect with to provide us with our beauty services and rock with them while not even realizing that we could be cheating ourselves out of experiencing the best services available to us. We do this all while not realizing that we are condoning to the neglect and damage of our own bodies(lashes)!

I personally do not believe in accepting the low standards of any beauty professional and cannot justify poor work in any way, other than that it just must be their personal level of skill and capability. Although lack of skill level and capabilities may be good enough for some people, I believe in having high standards in regards to any service I pay for. I enjoy spreading my high standards to my fellow eyelash technicians and of course my amazing clientele!

Here is a little story about when I first started doing eyelash extensions...

I worked with a eyelash extension technician, whom I adored and whose clients also adored her. She had a full client base and her clients wanted to see her and her only. Her clients were loyal and I admired that.

Sometimes when she would be out of the office I would have to lash some of her clients and this is something I soon came to dread. Why? Because majority of her clients had no lashes! Yes, she got them nice and full but she was stacking heavy lashes on top of each other and everything was clumping together. So, everything was being pulled out prematurely or getting stuck on other things causing them to stay attached instead of shedding properly.

This really taught me a lot and it was this experience that made me learn how to help people recover from bad lash experiences and ultimately build a successful brand off of it. I have helped hundreds of women recover from severe lash damage and bad lash experiences.

It is a sad thing to tell someone they can not longer do lash extensions, whether it be because they develop an allergy or because their natural lashes can no longer withstand the extensions. At BéLashii we take extra care in making sure that your natural lashes stay healthy and strong, so you can continue your lash routine worry free.

If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned issues don’t let it ruin your opinion on eyelash extensions. Do your research and find an artist that fits you and your needs. Not every eyelash extension technician has the same skills.

BéLashii wishes you luck on your lash journey! If you are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro area, it would be our pleasure to serve you!
