FAQ'S EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Do I need to prep before my appointment?
Yes, it’s best to arrive without any eye makeup and avoid curling your lashes or wearing mascara the day before and the day of your appointment. This helps minimize cleanup time and allows for more time on your lash application.

Do eyelash extensions hurt?
No, eyelash extensions should not hurt when applied correctly. They are carefully applied using professional tools, isolating one natural lash at a time for classic lashes or fans for volume lashes. Most lash artists use under-eye gel pads to prevent discomfort and aid in application. It's important to choose a certified lash artist to ensure proper technique and the correct weight and length of extensions for your natural lashes.

How long do eyelash extensions last?
Eyelash extensions can last between 4-8 weeks, depending on the adhesive used and your natural lash cycle. Since natural lashes shed, it's normal to lose 1-4 lashes per day, so refills are recommended every 2-3 weeks to maintain fullness.

Do eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly, eyelash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. A certified lash artist will apply extensions that are appropriate in weight and length to protect your natural lashes. Extensions can cause damage if improper techniques are used, such as applying lashes that are too heavy or using clusters with too much adhesive. Always ask about your artist's techniques and certification to ensure the health of your natural lashes.

Can I wear eye makeup with my eyelash extensions?
Yes, you can wear makeup with your eyelash extensions. Choose extension-safe, oil-free makeup to prolong the life of your extensions. If using regular makeup, opt for a daily cleanser with makeup remover that is safe for extensions to avoid residue buildup.

How long does it take to apply lash extensions?
The application of lash extensions typically takes about 1.5 hours for a full set, depending on the style you choose. During the process, you'll be lying down with your eyes closed on a comfortable spa bed in a serene setting. After prepping your lashes and protecting your bottom lashes with a gel pad, extensions are applied one by one using medical-grade adhesive. It’s a relaxing, non-invasive treatment, and many clients take the opportunity to catch up on their beauty sleep!

How often should I come in for lash refills?
We recommend getting refills every 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting too long may result in needing a full set as extensions will naturally fall out over time. Factors like humidity, steam, or frequent eye-touching can cause extensions to fall more quickly. Refills typically take 45-60 minutes, depending on the condition of your remaining lashes. A good indicator that you need a refill is when 50%-60% of your extensions have shed.

Can I swim, shower, or exercise while wearing lash extensions?
Yes, our bonding agent is waterproof, so you can shower, swim, and exercise with your extensions. However, avoid washing your eye area for at least 24 hours after your initial application to allow the adhesive to fully set and extend the life of your extensions.

How do I take care of my new lash extensions?

• Avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24 hours after application.
• Skip tanning for 24 hours post-application.
• Use an oil-free eye makeup remover.
• Refrain from rubbing, picking, or pulling at your lashes.
• Avoid using an eyelash curler.
• Try to limit exposure to heat, steam, saunas, and friction.
• Avoid chemical treatments like eyelash tinting or perming.
• Steer clear of irritating eye treatments like strong chemical peels, skin resurfacing, eyebrow waxing, or laser treatments.
