As the weather warms up and summer is just around the corner, you may be looking forward to the excitement that summer brings. Outdoor activities, hiking, the beach, day trips - whatever your pleasure! With the promise of warm weather, less social distancing, and being outdoors, you may want to consider some enhancements yourself to get into the spirit of the new season.

If you aren’t a “regular” to semi-permanent lash and brow enhancements, it could be a little confusing. At Square One, we offer Lash Lifts, Brow Laminations, Lash and Brow Tints, and of course, Eyelash Extensions. They allow you to throw out the mascara and brow liners while engaging in summer fun without having to worry about smudgy or black eyes. Here are the differences to help you decide what is best for you.

Lash Lift. If you don’t want to go as far as full lash extensions, but you do want to elevate your lashes, look at our lash lift. A lash lift is basically a “perming” of the lashes to curl and lift your lashes for a natural look while helping your eyes appear larger and your lashes appear fuller. It lasts up to four to six weeks. You can pair it with a lash tint for an overall amazing look.

Brow Lamination. If you want well-defined brows, have unruly fine hairs that cannot be tamed, or want to change the shape of your brows, brow lamination is for you. Our skilled estheticians can expertly control the shape of your brow, creating the illusion of full, fluffy eyebrows without having to use a brow pencil daily! This can be paired with a brow tint for a uniform look.

Eyelash & Brow Tinting. At Square One, we offer tinting to help your lashes and brows stand out while looking darker, fuller, and well-defined. Lash tinting is a more subtle option than a full eyelash extension but still gives you an amazing look. As we tint your lashes and/or brows a darker color, we use only the safest, specially formulated dyes to ensure your delicate eye area is protected. For lashes, each lash is dyed from top to bottom, giving them not only a darker look but also making them appear longer and fuller. It’s like instant mascara! For brows, we will tint them to complement your hair color and because brow hairs are more visible, it’s easy to shape them for the perfect look. Tinting lasts for up to three to four weeks - and the best part? It’s waterproof! You can enjoy all your outdoor activities, in the humidity, without worrying about your lashes.

Lash Extensions. Lash extensions are still popular. They give you a bold, dramatic look without the hassle of mascara. Our Extreme Lash Extensions are a semi-permanent solution to making your lashes fuller, thicker, and longer while still looking natural and flawless. Our lash experts carefully apply each individual lash so they look natural while making your eyes stand out. Our trained estheticians can let you know which type of lash extension is best for you and how long you can expect the service to take. We will recommend when to return for an extension fill to keep the look you want. Lash extensions will eventually shed with the growth cycle of your natural lashes, which differs by individual but is typically around six weeks.

The best part of our lash and brow services is that you can control how dramatic a look you want. It’s as simple as waking up each morning with perfect lashes & brows! If you’re ready to show off your eyes with one of our many lash and brow services, make an appointment at any of our Square One Salon locations. You can book online or call or visit one of our Ohio locations directly.
