Salon services include eyelash extensions, brow lamination sessions for full, perfectly defined and neat eyebrows, eyelash lifts for naturally curled lashes, keratin treatments for permanently silky hair, gel manicures (which can also be done at home) or nail extensions, plus microblading for semi-permanent eyebrow redesign and restructuring, and Brazilian hair straightening. There are many other services and techniques that can be carried out by a professional, but these are among the most popular with social media users. 

But those who don’t have the budget for these services can be inventive at home. For hair, a blow-out can hold several days. Alternatively, numerous tricks spotted on the social platform can get you perfectly defined curls in record time—these include using socks and the “ponytail blowout”, but an intense and optimal haircare routine, carried out at least once a week, also means less time spent in the bathroom every day. On the make-up front, “tantouring”—creating permanent or almost permanent contouring using a self-tan products—seems to be a top hack for many people. These are just some of the tips that can help streamline a morning beauty routine to gain you a few extra minutes of sleep without having to neglect your appearance.
