FAQs
How do I take care of my lash extensions?
Avoid oil-based products around your eyes such as moisturizers, cleansers, face masks, etc. Oil will break down the adhesive bond.
Avoid sleeping on your face as this can cause friction on your lashes. Silk pillowcases help prevent damage to your lash extensions!
Do not pick or excessively touch your lashes. The more you pick and pull, the faster they will fall out.
Do not use an eyelash curler.
Do not use mascara on your extensions EVER!
Avoid getting close to oven heat while cooking or getting close to any sort of open flame.
Brush your lashes daily with the lash brush I provide for you after your service.
CAREFULLY clean your lashes daily with oil-free cleanser and water to remove any oil or makeup. We retail a cleanser you can pick up at your appointment that is specifically formulated for eyelash extensions and gently removes makeup.
Remember to book fills every 2-3 weeks to keep lashes looking flawless!
How long do they last?
A single natural lash has a life cycle of 3-4 weeks, and the lash extension will stay on until the eyelash sheds itself naturally. The average person loses 3-5 lashes each day. Everyone's hair growth is different, but fills are always recommended between 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full and fresh. Aftercare plays a huge role in getting the most out of your lash extensions!
Are they going to make my lashes fall out?!
When applied properly by a well-trained professional artist, lash extensions will not harm your natural lashes. With the correct weight of an extension, proper glue usage, and proper isolation, your natural lashes will have no problem.
What is the process like? How long does it take?
Completely painless and relaxing! Your eyes will be closed for the entire duration of the service, and most people actually end up falling asleep. The extensions are applied one at a time, on each individual natural lash. Full sets range from 2-3 hours and fills range from 1-2 hours. This all depends on the look you are wanting and how many natural lashes you have.
How do I prepare for the service?
You should arrive to your appointment with absolutely no eye makeup, preferably no face makeup, and clean lashes. Once we start the service you will not be able to open your eyes until we are finished so make sure you use the restroom beforehand and note that you will not be able to use your phone. Refrain from using any oil-based products around your eyes since oil will break down the adhesive bond. We also recommend not drinking caffeine beforehand, this will cause your eyes to flutter and not relax. We do play relaxing music in case you would like to take a nap during your service, but feel free to bring headphones to listen to your own music!
