EYELASH EXTENSION FAQ

Do I need to prep before my appointment?

Prior to your appointment, we ask that you wash your lashes. This includes, arriving without any eye makeup, do not curl your lashes or wear mascara the day before and the day of your appointment. This will help minimize the cleanup time and more time for lashing. Reminder: the eyelash adhesive will not bond well on dirty eyelashes.

Will it ruin or cause my natural lashes to fall out?

Lash stylist are trained to look for adult lashes to attach individual synthetic lashes. Young (baby) lashes are left to allow them to fully develop and when it comes times to re-lash, we have new strong lashes to bond to.Lash extensions will not cause your natural eyelashes to fall out. Remember that your natural lashes have their own life cycle of falling and growing – like the hair found elsewhere on your body. It's hard to notice small lashes falling out, but when attached to a thicker, longer lash they become much more noticeable! Once the extensions are removed, your own eyes may appear smaller, your natural lashes, shorter and sparser because you've been accustomed to a full set of longer, thicker lashes.

How long does it take to apply lash extensions?

Lash extensions are applied while you are lying down in a comfortable position with your eyes closed so that you can relax. A full set can take 1-3 dependent on the amount of natural lashes each individual has. After prepping your lashes, your bottom lashes are protected with a gel eye pad, lash extensions are then applied 1-to-1 with medical grade adhesive.

How long will my new lashes last?

Your new lashes will last between 2 to 4 weeks depending on your skincare routine and your own natural lash life cycle. To maintain the full look of your lashes, it will require you to maintain refills every 2-3 weeks.

Can I apply mascara to my lash extensions?

Yes, however you must only apply water based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara and any type of oil based mascara dissolves the bonding agent of the extensions and causes them to fall out sooner. Most clients find they do not need mascara if they are getting fills regularly.

Can I swim, shower or exercise while wearing lash extensions?

Yes. However we recommend that you DO NOT WASH your eye area for at least 24 hours after the initial eyelash extension application. This allows the bonding agent to fully dry and prolong the life of your extensions.
