Whether you’re on Homecoming court or just really into showing some school spirit, take your look up a notch and get game day-ready! Your social media pics will be stand-outs!

1. A WINNING LOOK: HYBRID LASH EXTENSIONS

Hybrid lash extensions for Homecoming are calling your name! Why hybrid? You can get the best of both our classic and volume applications across your lash line, leaving you with a full and fluffy look accented by gorgeous texture. Now, that goes with every dress!

Plus, consider the alternative: No one loves standing in front of the mirror fighting those pesky lash strips. Then, there’s the added fear of keeping them in place all night. Don’t be the person that misses the big play ’cause you had to run to the restroom to stick them back on—ugh! Go with lash extensions instead!

Why choose professionally applied lash extensions over lash strips?
Lash extensions from The Lash Lounge will stay put! Plus, if you get them done the week before, you’ll look fabulous for spirit week and all the fun leading up to Homecoming Day!

Leaving your lashes in the pros’ hands is always a good idea. You’ll get the pristine lash look that’ll make you the envy of all the girls. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind they’re properly applied and will last way longer than the lash strips from the drugstore.

2. UP YOUR NAIL GAME

No Homecoming look is complete without some showstopping nails!

Here are a few favorites to accelerate your nail game:

  • Rhinestones
  • Graphics
  • Reversed French tips
  • Tie dye
  • Glitter (always a glam go-to!)

Of course, when it comes to showing school spirit, any design that incorporates your team’s colors or even your mascot is a must! Just ask Seventeen.com!

3. SCORE BIG WITH A LASH LIFT

If you’re not quite ready to jump on the lash extension express just yet, it’s okay! Your dreams of amping up your lash game for Homecoming are not over; you can get a lash lift instead!

A lash lift is like a lash perm for your lashes. This service is ideal for those who have very straight or flat eyelashes and anyone who could use a little extra oomph added to their natural lashes. Pair it with a lash tint and make your eyes really pop!

Plus, if you fall in love with your new lashes (like we know you will), there’s not much you need to do to keep them in check. Just let them dry and avoid mascara for 24 hours after your service. After that, just keep them clean and give them a little brush every day. Then, visit your salon every 6–8 weeks for a new treatment!

Trust us, when you take all of those pics with your family and friends at the big game, you’ll love you new, radiant look.

4. TEAM BROW TRANSFORMATION

If you’ve been putting your brows on the backburner, now is a better time than ever to bring them back to life. You’ll be surprised how much a brow transformation can do wonders for your overall look!

Whether they need to be shaped and cleaned up with brow threading or you need a more defined look with a brow tint, The Lash Lounge can transform those barely-there brows and make them look “wow” just in time for all of those videos and photos before, during and after Homecoming.

5. TACKLE YOUR TRESSES WITH HIGHLIGHTS

There are a ton of options out there and some start as low as $10 or less (woohoo!). Check out some we found on Amazon.

Whether you want to add subtle golden highlights to enhance your natural hues or you want to show true school spirit with some festive pops of color, clip-in extensions are the way to go!
