Q: Until recently, my eyelashes were long and black. As I get older, they seem to be thinning to the point of almost disappearing. I have heard of eyelash dye. Is this a safe process, and how long does it last?

A: In the Tijeras salon, we use Permalash, which comes from the United Kingdom and is specifically created for eyelashes and eyebrows. The special Permalash formulation provides safe and effective coverage, with color lasting up to six weeks. As is true for any hair or lash color, you will get better results over time. Permalash has been widely sold in the UK for more than 20 years, with great results.
