8 Beauty Treatments That Will Have You Waking Up Looking Fabulous

5. Eyelash Curling

Sometimes called eyelash perms, we can assure that this procedure is nothing like the cringe-worthy perms of the 80s. Instead, they’re a treatment that enhances the lash right from the root, which can last for 10-12 weeks. Most salons offer if for about $80 – $120. It works for both long and short lashes, and makes it look like your eyelashes are actually longer. Of course if you can’t afford that – get our the old $5 eyelash curler!!!! �For longer last curled eyelashes, try heating up the curler for a few seconds before using – not too long or you will burn your eyelids!

6. Eyebrow Tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing is a kind of cosmetic tattooing that involves filling in the eyebrows to create the illusion of colour, thickness, or both. This is certainly one of the most expensive treatments, and could cost up to $400. However, it’s important to remember that this can last three years or even longer, depending on your skin type and tone, so it’s something that you invest in.

7. Permanent Makeup

Eyebrow tattooing isn’t the only kind of cosmetic tattooing out there. You can also have eyelash tattooing, lip tattooing, and even beauty spot or freckle touch-ups, all of which come under the name ‘permanent makeup’. Depending on what you want to have done, you could be looking at a few hundred dollars, or over a thousand. Like eyebrow tattooing, permanent makeup can last a few years, so it’s worth considering time and equipment costs over that period.

8. Hair Keratin Straightening Treatment

For people who style their hair straight, keratin hair-straightening treatments are a great idea. Basically, they involve a keratin straightening product being applied to the hair, and then sealed with a flat iron. It costs anywhere from $250 – $500, but can shorten your blow-drying time by 40-60% and will also reduce problems with frizziness. Along with that, the treatment lasts about two to two-and-a-half months, which is pretty impressive.
