What's the secret behind many women's unbe-"weave"-able Hair?
Have you seen photos like this?
... and then see photos of the same person like this?
...or how about this?
Enter the world of Hair Extensions and False Lashes! It’s common to hear of celebs and models having extensions and falsies, and it's not uncommon to hear it openly discussed.

However, "Hi Suzzie. Is your hair fake?” isn’t a common type of dialog between coworkers, friends, family members, and acquaintances.

So I’m going to put it all out in the open for everyone so we can make it clear: I have Hair Extensions and frequently wear Falsies! Although my hair is long naturally, I’ve never had that va-va-voom volume and extra long length.
Thanks to the stylists here at Bliss, however, my hair worries are no longer! I can do everything I do with my hair while having extensions: Flat Iron, Curl, Blow-Dry, etc. Besides making my hair thicker, I’ve noticed I can hold curls longer. I also follow my regular shampooing and conditioning routine.

If you’re interested in learning more about extensions, call the salon (734) 207-8680 for a complimentary consultation. (You can always stop in and see what they look like in person as well!)

Now On to LASHES!

As a Makeup Artist, I frequently get asked what my favorite type of Mascara is, or general questions about lash enhancements/treatments/etc. My best words of advice: If you want to dramatically change the look of your lashes (and your overall look), have false eyelashes applied! It only takes a few minutes, and it won’t harm your natural lashes. It's also much more affordable than pricey lash enhancement treatments than can potentially have negative side-effects.

The best part about false lashes is that you can take them off and re-use them the following day or evening. If you take care of them (not sleeping in them or getting them wet), they can last for numerous applications. There are many options when it comes to lashes, but my favorite brand we carry is the Ardel “Whispies.” They add natural volume and aren’t too long. They are my go-to options for brides.

Contact the Salon if you’d like to schedule a how-to Lash Lesson. If you’d simply liked them applied, we do that too!

Until next time Bliss Beauties!

xoxo
