Here's an idea - book some pampering into the process. Have a plan to pamper your bridesmaids and make the call for information. Ask about eyelash extensions for the beautiful women who will be standing with you - your bridesmaids (and of course, for the bride).

Lash extensions are of great benefit to your wedding plans. They save time, save face (create a well rested look), help you stay fresh on your wedding day, guard against the smeared mascara look from tears of joy, and they ensure you wake up beautiful every day following.

If you live in the Calgary area, or anywhere in Southern Alberta and you're planning your wedding, Call the Inglewood Beauty Bar in Calgary today and ask about wedding specials and wedding preparations. The professionals there can help you with the planning of the process to have all your lashes looking spectacular well in advance of,  through and beyond your wedding day.

We adhere to a set of recommendations for client wedding parties. The bride and the bridal party should all be evaluated and concerns met in plenty of time to alleviate wedding day issues (ideally, 4 - 5 weeks in advance of the wedding). Our wedding schedule should be considered and integrated with your wedding schedule in order to take advantage of our knowledge of the perfect regimen of initial set application, first fill and second fill to complete the look for your bridal party.

Though Xtreme Lashes® are easy to maintain, the first twenty-four hours are crucial for a strong bond. Think longevity - practice preservation.

• For the first 24 hours after application the lashes should not be exposed to water or steam to allow the adhesive time to fully bond. We recommend avoiding swimming and the spa for 48 hours after lash application for best results.
• Be gentle with your lashes; do not pull on the extensions or rub the eyes excessively.
• Avoid the use of oil-based products on or around the lashes and do not use waterproof mascara. Water based mascara and water based mascara remover may be used if desired. Apply the mascara sparingly and remove it gently with a water-based eye makeup remover. Purchase our water-based mascaras and Eye Makeup Remover, specially formulated for eyelash extensions, or contact us for purchasing information. Apply mascara on the tips only. Note: Xtreme Lashes® are ideally suited for individuals who want longer, fuller lashes without the need for much additional eye makeup. Constant application of heavy eye makeup, particularly mascara and eyeliner, may reduce the lifespan of your Xtreme Lashes® and require more frequent touch ups.
• Be sure to purchase Xtreme Lashes® Protective Coating. You can apply Protective Coating once or twice per week on your new lashes to preserve the look and extend the life of your Xtreme Lashes®. Brush on from the base up to the tips. This coating also gives the lashes a wonderful shine!

You'll be amazed at the beauty and fullness of your xtreme lashes!

With the proper application of the eyelash by a qualified technician, and with regular fills they will last indefinitely.

Natural lashes grow and fall out in cycles of between 60 and 90 days.

When lashes mature and fall out, a new lash quickly replaces the old. This is an ongoing process and our natural lashes are always in a state of staggered maturity. While some are growiing in, others are ready to shed. Our technicians are trained to apply xtreme lash extentions only to those lashes that are in the early-middle of this maturation process in order to maximize the amount of time the extensions will last.

The natural lash will fall out with the extension attached to it when it reaches the end of its growth cycle. A few extension lashes may shed within the first week because of the nearness to the shedding process of the natural lash. These photos show eyelash extensions as applied by Brenda to Sarah. These are 'no makeup' shots! No mascara. This is the appearance of the eyelash extensions when applied and it's how you'll start your day everyday. Beautiful!

With proper care and maintenance, touch ups are only needed every 2 to 4 weeks to replace lashes that have shed. Our Xtreme Lash technicians will then add extensions to the newest eligable natural lashes to maintain a full lush appearance.
