Your January Lash Extension Planner for Saskatoon 2026

Start 2026 with Perfect Lash Extensions in Saskatoon

Ready to make 2026 your most beautiful year yet? If you’re thinking about lash extensions in Saskatoon for the new year, January is actually one of the best times to start or refresh your lash journey. After the holiday chaos settles, you’ll have time to focus on yourself—and what better way to kick off a fresh start than waking up every morning with gorgeous lashes?

As a certified lash technician here in Saskatoon, I’ve helped hundreds of clients plan their lash schedules for the new year. Whether you’re a lash extension newbie or a loyal refill client, having a game plan for January makes all the difference. Let me share exactly how to optimize your lash appointments for the first month of 2026.

Why January Is Perfect for Lash Extensions

Here’s something most people don’t realize: January is prime time for lash appointments. After the December rush, my schedule opens up, which means more flexibility for you. Plus, starting the year with fresh lashes gives you a confidence boost during those dreary Saskatchewan winter days.

I had a client last January tell me, “Getting my lashes done in early January was the best decision—it’s like my little rebellion against the winter blues!” She’s not wrong. When it’s -30°C outside and the sun sets at 5 PM, having lashes that make you feel put-together without any effort is genuinely mood-boosting.

Benefits of January Lash Appointments

• More appointment availability after the holiday rush
• Time to perfect your look before Valentine’s Day
• Self-care momentum to start your new year right
• Less competition for prime evening and weekend slots
• Fresh start energy that aligns with new year goals

Your Week-by-Week January Lash Planner

Let me break down exactly how I recommend planning your January lash schedule here in Saskatoon:

Week 1 (January 1-5): Fresh Start Week

If you celebrated New Year’s Eve with your existing lashes, they might be ready for some love. This is the perfect time for:

• Full sets if you’re starting fresh
• Refills if you’re due (most clients who got holiday lashes in mid-December need refills now)
• Lash consultations if you’re new to extensions

Many of my Stonebridge and Nutana clients book their first appointment of the year for January 2nd or 3rd. It’s a great way to ease back into routine with a relaxing, pampering session.

Week 2 (January 6-12): New Client Sweet Spot

This is my favourite week for new clients! The holiday decorations are down, the chaos has settled, and you have time to properly care for new lashes. If you’ve been curious about lash extensions, this is your moment.

Pro tip from my studio: Book a classic or hybrid set to start. Once you see how they work with your lifestyle, we can adjust volume and style for future appointments.

Week 3 (January 13-19): Mid-Month Maintenance

Regular clients typically need their second refill of the month around now. If you got a fresh set in early January, you’re probably noticing some natural lash shedding—that’s completely normal!

Saskatchewan’s dry winter air can affect retention, so this is a good time to:

• Assess your at-home care routine
• Discuss any concerns about retention
• Adjust lash style if needed

Week 4 (January 20-26): Pre-February Prep

Start thinking ahead! February brings Valentine’s Day, and if you want special lashes for that romantic dinner at River Landing or a night out in Saskatoon, you’ll want fresh lashes going in.

Book your late-January refill so you’re not scrambling in early February.

Week 5 (January 27-31): Month-End Refresh

Last chance for January appointments! This is ideal timing if you:

• Want lashes fresh for the start of February
• Have a University of Saskatchewan event coming up
• Are preparing for any early February occasions

Pricing and Booking Strategy for January

Wondering about lash extension pricing in Saskatoon? January is a great time to budget for the year ahead. Here’s how I suggest clients plan:

Monthly lash budget:

• Full set: Plan for 1-2 per year (initial set + occasional fresh starts)
• Refills: Budget for 2-3 per month depending on your retention
• Removal: Rarely needed if you maintain regularly

Booking tips:

• Book your next 2-3 appointments at once to secure preferred times
• Evening appointments fill fastest—book early if you work 9-5
• Weekend slots are popular for Rosewood and Evergreen clients with busy weekday schedules

Beating the January Blues with Self-Care

Let’s be honest: January in Saskatchewan can be tough. The post-holiday letdown, combined with our coldest temperatures and shortest days, makes self-care more important than ever.

I’ve noticed over my 5+ years doing lashes that clients who prioritize small luxuries like lash appointments in January tend to feel better overall. One of my regulars from Hampton Village calls her lash appointments “mandatory mental health maintenance”—and I couldn’t agree more!

How lash extensions help in January:

• Save morning time when you’d rather stay under warm blankets
• Look polished even when bundled in winter gear
• Boost confidence during the dreariest month
• Create routine that supports other healthy habits

January Weather Considerations for Saskatoon Lashes

Our Saskatchewan winters require some extra lash care attention. Here’s what I tell all my January clients:

1. Extreme cold: When temps drop below -25°C, your lash adhesive is fine—but avoid touching cold lashes with cold hands
2. Dry indoor air: Use a humidifier at home to prevent lash brittleness
3. Transition from cold to warm: Give your lashes a moment before touching them when coming indoors
4. Winter hats and scarves: Be mindful of friction from toques and high scarves

I always check retention at each January appointment because our climate can affect how long lashes last. Most clients do great with 2-3 week refill intervals, even in winter!
