Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various devices, including the traditional tattoo coil machines, the pen or rotary machine (includes the digital rotary machines), and the non-machine or hand device. The process includes a consultation, the application of pigment, and at least one or more follow-up visits for evaluating the healed design work and color of the pigment.

The initial procedure will generally take approximately 2 ½ - 3 hours; there are records to establish; photographs to take; desired design and color to discuss; numbing process; the procedure to perform; and the aftercare requirements to discuss. Follow-up or color refresher procedures usually do not require the same amount of time.

Most people experience some minor discomfort. This will vary according to each individual's pain threshold. There are different methods available, however, to help with discomfort management, including various topical anesthetics that are specifically developed for our industry. Your permanent cosmetic professional should discuss these methods with you to determine which one is appropriate. To put this in perspective, thousands of body art tattoos are performed annually, possibly millions. As a rule, traditional tattoo professionals do not use any anesthetics for their tattoo procedures. Anesthetics for permanent cosmetics are more of a tattoo service luxury because of the nature of the tattoo location and the fact that permanent cosmetics fall into the beauty treatment category. Other factors such as menstrual cycles also affect the level of sensitivity.

If proper sterilization and disinfection guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe. These guidelines include, but are not limited to the following
IMPORTANT Things To Look For:
-All Needles should be new and sterile for each client. Unopened new and sterile needles should be opened in your presence.
-Disposable sterilized one-time use machine parts should be purchased by the artist, and disposed of in a sharps container immediately after the procedure has been completed.
-Personal protection equipment such as disposable one-time use aprons and gloves should be new for each client and changed during the procedure when needed.
-The technician should be clean and neat.
-Disposable one-time use chair/bed covering should be new for each client.
-The room or treatment area should be in an area free from other contaminants.

With proper application, eyelash extensions look and feel completely real. Each application is customized to suit the individual. We offer six thicknesses of lashes and four different curls with lengths ranging from 7mm to 18mm in a variety of colors for highlighting effects. Varying individual synthetic lash lengths are chosen to carefully replicate the shape and frame of a natural lash line. The thickness of the eyelash extension applied is determined by the health and thickness of your natural lashes as well as your personal preference. The overall effect is added curl, thickness, and length, opening up the eye for added definition.

Eyelash extensions are designed to be indistinguishable in size and weight to human lashes. They are flexible yet crimp-resistant, and they move with your natural lashes. As long as you keep up with the touch-up applications, it is almost impossible to tell that you are wearing the extensions.

Because an eyelash extension is an exact replica of an eyelash, it weighs about as much as a natural lash: practically nothing. You will not notice the addition of the extensions to your lashes and they will not cause your natural lashes to fall out ahead of their natural cycle as other enhancement methods can. Please feel free to review our client testimonials and before/after pictures for additional information on the look and feel of eyelash extensions.

It is an individual process. We lose between 1-5 eyelashes almost every day. We also grow a new lash to replace the one that fell out. Lash Extensions can last indefinitely with proper care and maintenance. However, factors such as eyelash growth, lifestyle, and general aftercare will affect how long the lashes last. As your natural lashes fall out due to the growth cycle, you will need refills when new lashes grow. At first, you may find you need a touch-up every 3 weeks. As you become accustomed to the extensions and with a little practice maintaining the lashes, we will determine if the time between touch-ups can be extended to 4-4.5 weeks.

To be completely honest it is not a simple yes or no answer. It depends on the application, the lashes used, and how one follows the aftercare advice given by the stylist. Eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lashes if applied correctly. There are two important facts that you should be aware of before you decide which lashes are best for you.

Long, thicker extensions are not always the best - The extensions used should be slightly longer and thicker than your natural eyelashes. Most of those who have experienced damaged lashes have had the wrong type of lashes applied by an uneducated stylist. Excess weight and length can cause stress on the natural lashes and result in the natural lashes breaking or prematurely shedding.

One extension should bond to one natural eyelash only - An experienced stylist would fully isolate a natural lash and adhere only one extension(or one volume fan) to that natural eyelash. This method allows your natural lashes to grow and shed freely and not be restricted by being stuck to other lashes. Damage to eyelashes is caused by the incorrect application and can result in itching, pinching, and massive clumping. To relieve any discomfort, the client would likely pick or pull out the offending extensions resulting in damaged natural lashes or even worse bald eyes.

Lash extensions vary in price based on multiple factors, such as

• where you get them done - at a reputable eyelash salon that specialize in everything lash related prices might be higher than at a nail salon or with someone who works from a home setting.
• the skill level of the lash artist - the more experienced and skilled the artist is the pricier it can get.
• products used - places that use premium quality products tend to charge more for the services they provide

On average the full sets for classic lashes in Toronto can be priced anywhere between $75 to $200 with refills between $40 to $120.

A Lash Lift is the lifting and darkening of your own lashes. There is no maintenance required for 6-8 weeks. They offer a very natural and beautiful look. Lash extensions are thicker and more glamorous. They require touching up every 3-4weeks. Also, they are additions to your natural lashes, not an augmentation of your natural lashes.

Lash lifts are NOT recommended for clients with:

• Chronic Dry eyes

• Conjunctivitis

• Trichotillomania

• Glaucoma (consult your physician)

• Lasik Surgery (at least 4 months post-op)

• Blepharoplasty Surgery (1-year post-op)

• Damaged or sparse lashes (if you have visible gaps within your lash line, a lift will potentially make them more noticeable)

• Chemo Patients (1 year after last treatment)



When in doubt, please consult your physician.

Brow Lamination is NOT recommended for clients with:

• eczema or any other condition that causes compromised skin in the brow area.
• someone who got a chemical peel done in a recent week
• severe acne in the brow area
• who experienced an allergic reaction or sensitivity in the past to hair perm, lash lift, or ammonium thioglycolate.

Please note: For someone with very thin over-plucked brows Brow Lamination might not give the desired look and we highly encourage you to send us the picture of your brows with no make-up to info@perfectionlaboratory.ca before scheduling an appointment.
