Camilla was the first-ever eyelash extensions expert in London to become qualified in advanced techniques over 13 years ago, fast forward to 2019 she qualified as one of the UK’s first-ever eyelash extension specialists practicing the new, ground-breaking Gel-Lys™ technology, which lasts up to an impressive seven weeks. What’s so impressive about this patented technique I hear you ask! Well, here is the science part, the gel curing application bonds eyelash extensions instantly with the use of light-emitting diode (LED) technology, avoiding traditional adhesive.
