FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are individual Synthetic, Mink and/or Silk eyelashes. They are attached one-by-one to each of your individual natural lashes and never to your skin. Eyelash extensions are used to enhance the length, curl, fluffiness and thickness of your natural lashes which eliminates the need to wear mascara. It is a meticulous service which requires the skill and precision of a professional certified lash specialist. Size availability ranges in length and diameter and will be decided and agreed upon with your lash specialist.
What should you do before your eyelash appointment?
Please arrive to your appointment with, most importantly, clean lashes and preferably makeup and face cream free. This will allow me to begin the lashing process right away and will also allow the lashes to adhere properly to your natural lashes.
How long will my eyelash extensions last if I follow the proper care instructions?
In some cases, eyelash extensions may last up to 3-4 weeks. However, it is common and recommended 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 weeks, and others can last longer as part of the natural cycle. Loosing anywhere from 2-5 lashes a day is considered to be normal.
Do lash extensions damage my natural lashes?
No. When eyelash extensions are applied correctly by a certified lash specialist, they will not harm your natural lashes. Each lash extension is adhered to one single natural lash and the extension will grow out naturally as your own lash matures and sheds. The eyelash adhesive used 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 own lashes.
Can I wear makeup with eyelash extensions? How can I safely remove my makeup from around my eyes?
Of course you can wear makeup! Although it is highly recommended you stay away from oil based products oil will break down the adhesive causing your lashes to fall off prematurely. Please do not apply mascara or curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. You won’t need to, I promise! When washing the makeup off from around your eyes, please use care. Avoid using any cotton tip as the cotton may get stuck on your lashes and can tug them causing premature lash loss. A Foaming Lash Shampoo is highly recommended and can be purchased at the time of your appointment.
What if I decide that eyelash extensions just aren’t for me?
At any time, if you change your mind about your extensions, you may set up an appointment to have them professionally removed. Please avoid picking at them or trying to remove them on your own as you will be risking the integrity of your own natural lashes. A quick appointment with me and I will have them safely removed!
