You don't want your client to
have any breakage or bald spots.
Key to eyebrows?
Leave them alone.
When they need to be tweezed or to
be cleaned up, then go for it.
I would love to get eyebrow extensions because
I felt like it would really enhance my beauty
and I already have eyelash extensions.
Doing my eyebrow makeup is such a chore and
I would love to eliminate that step in the
makeup application process.
My name is Mae Manalo, I'm a makeup artist,
and I specialize in eyebrow extensions,
and eyelash extensions.
I've been freelancing for 19 years.
I got into eyelash extensions, which I loved.
It was tedious work, but it was fun for me.
It was like a video game.
And then when eyebrows came in, I was like,
"Ooh, this is a new video game."
It's like I get to play all day.
I've never got my eyebrows done
professionally by anyone.
I've never gotten them waxed, tweezed, nothing done.
That's why I'm really nervous.
There is that saying with beauty, less is more.
With brows, it's not necessarily like that.
It's just a part of your presentation when
you're talking to someone.
So I think it's very important.
That's the great thing about brow extensions,
you can actually create something and give
them a look.
If they don't know exactly how they want to look,
this is an opportunity to kind of figure
that out for you before you do anything more permanent.
First, I'm going to clean any moisture around,
or on her brows.
I'll brush her brows up and down and take
a look at which brows I can put the extensions on.
I'll take the tweezer and pick up a brow fiber
from the palette, and dip it into the adhesive,
and carefully place it onto her eyebrows.
And then I'll start from the outer corner going in,
placing the eyebrow extensions onto her brows.
I'll repeat the steps until her brow is full
from the outer corner to the inner corner.
And I'll spot correct her eyebrow to see if
there's any areas that need more eyebrow extensions
to finish her look.
I can't even tell the difference between my
real hair and the fake hair.
I'm like, it looks like,
it looks nice!
It's been 24 hours since I received the treatment.
After the treatment was done, I was a little
bit shocked that it looked exactly like my hair.
It looked very natural.
It didn't look fake or anything,
so I was happy about that.
If the client is familiar with beauty and
she can find ways to upkeep it, I definitely
think she can get it to 7 or 10 days.
My eyebrows look way more fuller.
I actually got some compliments on my eyebrows
when I was on facetime with my friends.
They liked it.
It's a lot easier when you do have brows like Alexandria.
She had full brows, they weren't bold,
her hairs were a lot more on the thinner side,
but it wasn't that she didn't have any
she just wanted more.
The aftercare process I definitely think you
should stay clear of any oils, or ointments
on to the face.
I mean, I recommended for her to clean around it.
I want her to feel comfortable to do the thing
that she naturally does on a daily.
I feel like every woman is beautiful in their own right.
So I just feel like when we get stuff done, it enhances it.
You just have to find our inner beauty.
But I would definitely recommend it for someone
who struggles with hair loss, or just growing
hair on her eyebrows.
