We get these questions a lot. Here are our best answers...
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that are attached to your natural eyelashes to make them look longer, fuller, and darker. They are applied by a professional lash stylist using a special adhesive.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Eyelash extensions typically last through the natural growth cycle of your natural lashes, usually about 6-8 weeks. Regular touch-ups every 2-3 weeks can help maintain the look.
Are eyelash extensions safe?
Yes, when applied by a trained professional, eyelash extensions are safe. We use high-quality products and follow strict hygiene practices to ensure your safety and comfort.
How do I care for my eyelash extensions?
Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours. After that, gently cleanse them with a lash-safe cleanser, avoid oil-based products, and refrain from rubbing or pulling on your lashes.
Can I wear mascara with eyelash extensions?
It's generally not necessary to wear mascara with eyelash extensions, as they provide a fuller look on their own. If you choose to wear mascara, use a water-based formula and apply it only to the tips of your lashes.
How do I choose the right style of eyelash extensions?
During your initial consultation, our technicians will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend styles that would best suit your eye shape and desired look. Whether you want a natural enhancement or a more dramatic effect, we can tailor the extensions to meet your needs.
How long does the application process take?
The initial application of a full set of eyelash extensions can take about 2 to 2.5 hours. Touch-up appointments usually take around 1-1.5 hour.
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly and cared for properly, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. It's important to follow aftercare instructions and avoid pulling or tugging on the extensions.
Can I swim or shower with eyelash extensions?
Yes, you can swim and shower with eyelash extensions. However, it's best to avoid getting them wet for the first 24-48 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully set.
Are eyelash extensions uncomfortable to wear?
Not at all! Our expert application process ensures that the extensions are applied comfortably and correctly. Most clients find that they don't even feel the extensions once they're on, and they can enjoy their beautiful lashes with no discomfort.
What happens if an eyelash extension falls out?
It's normal for a few extensions to shed as your natural lashes cycle through their growth phases. Regular refill appointments will keep your lashes looking lush and full. If you experience unusual shedding, contact us for advice and potential touch-ups.
What should I do before my eyelash extension appointment?
Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes and lashes. Avoid using oil-based products around your eyes for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
How do I remove eyelash extensions?
It's best to have your eyelash extensions professionally removed to avoid damaging your natural lashes. Do not attempt to pull them off yourself, as this can cause lash breakage.
