Wella Announces the Finalists of Wella Trend Vision Awards
This year’s awards centered around the Monochromatic trend, which is rooted in minimalism and intentional by design.
The new lash extensions are designed to give more natural volume and last a record four to five weeks between appointments.






Give your clients' lashes a royal makeover.
Beginning July 1,Novalash is planning to deliver all your clients' needs first class with new London Volume Lashes.
These new eyelash extensions are designed to give a dense yet fluffy lash line while adding volume and a wispier, more textured look. With an efficient process that doesn't cause stress to the natural lashes, NovaLash says these lashes will last a record four to five weeks between appointments.
“The NovaLash London Volume technique allows a maximum amount of multiple lengths of lash extensions to be applied at one time with Camilla Lashes," Global Master Trainer, Zachary Falb says. "Stylists can now get a .03 lash fan with up to 15 extensions on one natural lash, safely! Clients leave with full, feathered, naturally-textured lashes."
The two stars of the show are the Royal Platinum Bond adhesive, which creates a fast drying, permanent bond, and London Volume’s STARlite Forceps, which allow more lashes to be applied with bigger fans.
With the newest adhesive to the Platinum Bond series, Royal Platinum Bond adhesive safely cures with water and air, resulting in waterproof and oil-proof massive lashes.
“Royal Platinum Bond is NovaLash’s thinnest, fastest drying adhesive in the Platinum Bond series," says Justine Ivaldi, NovaLash Brand Ambassador. "This cuts out time spent on the separation step because the adhesive cures so quickly, so I can continue to apply more lashes to my clients giving them that extra volume they want. London Volume allows clients to only need to fill their lashes every 4-5 weeks. Allowing lash artists to take more clients!”
