Frequently Asked Questions
what are lash extensions?
Lash extensions are synthetic fibers that are attached to each of your natural lashes using medical grade adhesive. Lash extensions can come in a variety of sizes and lengths ranging from 6mm-18mm with different curl options. Lash extensions can make the eyes appear wider and more lifted. With proper care, lash extensions should last up to six weeks before all the extensions shed.
how long do lash extensions last?
Lash extensions will last through the growth of your natural lash cycle, which is typically every six to eight weeks. Re-fills are recommended every two to three weeks to keep your lashes looking full and beautiful.
are lash extensions safe?
Yes. Lash extensions are safe and will not damage your natural lashes. The extensions are applied 1mm away from your lash line and the adhesive will not touch your skin.
how long does it take?
The application process for a classic or hybrid set can take anywhere from 60-90 minutes and a volume set can take up to 120 minutes. The length of the application process also depends on the amount of natural lashes you have.
how do i take care of my lash extensions?
Avoid getting your lashes wet 24-48 hours after your appointment. This includes sweating and exposure to hot steam (i.e. shower, saunas).
Avoid oil-based products on and around your eyes when you have lash extensions. The oil breaks down the adhesive which will cause lashes to fall out faster.
Wash your lashes daily with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and buildup.
Brush your lashes with a spoolie after they are dry. One will be provided at your appointment.
Avoid sleeping on your face. Note that if you are a side sleeper, the side you sleep on may experience more lash loss.
Schedule your fills every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full.
okay, i’m ready to make an appointment. what do i need to do to prepare?
Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of eye and face makeup.
It is recommended to shower before your appointment as you will not be able to get your lashes wet 24-48 hours after your appointment.
Avoid caffeine, as that may cause your eyes to flutter or twitch during your appointment where you will have your eyes closed for a prolonged period of time.
