When lash extension newbie Natasha Kundi came to visit...

London Lifestyle blogger Natasha Kundi came in to our Holborn salon to see what all the fuss is about in September 2023. Read on to find out Natasha’s eyelash experience as a lash extension newbie!

“Eyelash Extensions have become a popular beauty trend, offering an easy way to achieve fuller and more alluring lashes. Having recently experienced an eyelash extensions service, I’m pleased to share my thoughts on the transformative effects and overall experience.

From the moment I walked into Balleza Natural at 7 Bell Yard, London, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rose, the technician was attentive and took the time to discuss my preferences and desired outcome. This initial consultation helped alleviate any concerns I had about the procedure, as well as ensured that my desired style was understood.

The application process itself was surprisingly comfortable. I laid on a comfortable bed, closed my eyes, and the technician worked meticulously to attach individual synthetic lashes to my natural ones. The procedure was painless and surprisingly relaxing, as soft music played in the background. It took around two hours, but the time passed quickly as I drifted in and out of a light nap.

Upon opening my eyes, I was genuinely amazed by the results. The extensions looked incredibly natural, seamlessly blending with my own lashes. They added a subtle yet significant depth to my eyes, making them appear larger and more defined. The best part was that I woke up looking effortlessly put together each morning, saving me time during my daily routine.

The care instructions provided were clear and easy to follow, helping me maintain the extensions’ longevity. I was advised to avoid oil-based makeup removers and excessive rubbing of my eyes. With proper care, my eyelash extensions lasted around three weeks before needing a touch-up.

While the initial cost of eyelash extensions might seem a bit steep, the convenience and confidence boost they provide make them worth it. The maintenance appointments every few weeks do add up in terms of time and money, but for special occasions or those who prioritize a polished appearance, they’re a game-changer.

In conclusion, my experience with Belleza Natural was highly positive. The service not only enhanced my natural beauty but also simplified my daily routine. If you’re looking for a way to achieve stunning, low-maintenance lashes, Belleza Natural Eyelash extensions are definitely worth considering.”

New to the treatment menu… HALF SETS 😍

A half set with brown lash extensions

This is a brown half set we did (brown lashes are great for naturally fairer lashes and keeping things natural)

So, what are half sets?

✨A half set of lashes means having only half the number of lashes compared to a full set. However, this doesn’t mean that the impact of the treatment will be less.

Why half sets?

✨ A half set is a nice alternative to a full set of lashes, achieving a similar effect with fewer lashes. It can enhance the thickness of natural lashes or add length to the outer edge for a more noticeable look.

✨ If you’re new to semi-permanent eyelash extensions and uncertain about the desired fullness or style, a half set is a great starting point. It allows you to become accustomed to the life of lash extensions. Additionally, opting for a half set saves time.

✨ Choosing a half set is an economical choice as it costs significantly less than a full set.

In summary, a half set of lashes is a fantastic introduction to semi-permanent lashes. They are adaptable, time-saving, cost-effective, and definitely worth considering!

The best lash extensions for your eye shape

It can be tempting to see lash photos and want that exact style and shape - but it all should be tailored to your natural eye shape and natural lashes. When choosing lash extensions, it's important to consult with a professional lash technician who can assess your natural lashes and recommend the best length, curl, and style to enhance your natural eyes and beauty. All the various styles can be done in either classic (individual), hybrid (a mix of volume and individuals, or volume (light volume to medium to dramatic volume). Read on to find out which lash extension shape would work with your eye shape…

Do you know which eye shape you have?

1. Almond Eyes

The most common eye shape, almond eye shape has a slightly upturned outer corner and a tapered appearance. Almond eyes have a natural lift which can make them appear more awake. All lash extension shapes suit this style eyes so feel free to experiment with what suits you: be it the doll shape, cat eye shape or natural eye shape. The C, CC or D curl works well - depending how curly your natural lashes are.

2. Rounded / Doll Eyes

Characterised by a more circular appearance, round eyes can have a more open and larger appearance. You can often see the whites of the eyes above and/or below the iris. To enhance the beauty of the round eye shape, a cat eye or natural shape (where the lash extensions gradually get longer towards the outer ends), will create more of an almond shapes illusion.

3. Hooded Eyes

Hooded eye shape refers to an eye shape where the eyelid has a heavier or drooping fold, giving the appearance of less visible eyelids. Sometimes hooded eye shape can be the result of natural ageing (or lifeing as Pamela Anderson calls it), or could be genetics. Jennifer Lawrence and Blake Lively rock the hooded eye shape. Cat eye shapes can help create a more defined look. The doll eye shape can also counteract the droopiness and help make the eyes appear more awake and open.

4. Deep Set Eyes

Deep set eye shape refers to an eye shape where the eyes are set deeper into the eye socket, creating a more prominent brow bone and a shadowed appearance. Embrace your deep set eyes, as they can create a captivating and mysterious look! You could opt for longer lengths and go for a doll eye shape to open up the eyes. A cat eye shape would also work well. The key here is length!

5. Downturned Eyes

For down turned eye shapes, there are lash extension styles that can help lift and open up the eyes. An upward CC or D curl can counteract the downward slope of the eyes, making them appear more lifted and balanced. Doll eye lashes are shorter at the inner and outer corners and longer towards the middle. This doll shaped style gives this eye shape a lifted and more open look. Cat eye shapes should be avoided.
