Frequestnly Asked Questions
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic, Mink and/or silk eyelashes. They are attached to
each of your individual natural lashes - not to the skin.It is a meticulous service which requires the skill and precision of your certified lash technician. This service is to enhance the natural eyelash by adding length, curl, and thickness.
Do Eyelash Extensions damage my natural lashes?
When extensions are applied correctly, they will not harm your natural lashes; each lash extension is adhered to one single natural lash, the extension will grow out naturally as your own lash matures. The eyelash adhesive is formulated to create a solid bond, specifically for human lashes. The adhesive dries very soft on the lashes, allowing the lashes to stay flexible
and bouncy just like your natural lashes.
What should I do before your eyelash extension appointment?
- Come to your appointment having thoroughly washed your eyes so that they are free of makeup (eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara) and any residual oils.
- If you wear contacts, we recommend that you do not wear your contacts to your lash appointment.
- Do not consume caffeine before your appointment as it may cause your eyes to flutter which makes it difficult for the technician to apply lash extensions.
- Wear something comfortable as you will be laying on a bed for long periods of time.
- Use the restroom before or when you arrive as using the restroom during your appointment will result in a shorter application time.
- Set aside ½ - 2½ hours for your appointment.
How long will my eyelash extensions last if I follow the proper care instructions?
In some cases, eyelash extensions can last up to 4 weeks, however, it is common to get a touch up after 2-3 weeks. Like all hair, there are 3 phases to the eyelash growth cycle. There are lashes in each phase at all times, therefore, some will be lost within a couple of weeks, and others can last much
longer as part of the natural cycle.
