​​WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Eyelash Extensions are a method of enhancing the length and thickness of your own natural eyelashes and are perfect for special occasions or for day-to-day wear.  They are applied  one-by-one for a beautiful and luscious look.  Our lash extensions are weightless and are very comfortable on the eyes.

HOW LONG WILL A SET OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?

Results will differ based on daily activities and general after-care will ultimately affect how long the extensions last.  We recommend getting a touch up every 2-3 weeks.  Again, this may vary from client to client due to your natural lash cycle.

HOW ARE THE EXTENSIONS APPLIED?

You will lay comfortably with your eyes closed for the duration of the application.  The extension of appropriate length, thickness, and curl is selected, dipped in a tiny amount of surgical-grade adhesive, and attached near the base of one natural eyelash.  Many clients fall asleep during this relaxing procedure. 

WILL MY NATURAL LASHES BE DAMAGED?

No.  The most important thing is to make sure you are having them properly applied by a highly-trained licensed and certified lash extension artist.  The adhesive dries very soft on lashes, allowing the lashes to stay flexible and bouncy just like your own lashes.

ARE VOLUME LASHES THE SAME AS CLUSTER LASHES?

Volume lashes are not to be confused with cluster lashes.  Cluster lashes are heavy and not customizable.  Volume lashes are custom made lightweight fans that your lash artist builds and applies during your lash appointment. Volume lashes are much healthier for your lashes and result in a much cleaner look than cluster lashes.

CAN I WEAR EYE MAKE-UP TO MY LASH APPOINTMENT?

It’s required that your eye area be clean and completely free of makeup. You can wear moisturizer and foundation but no liquid liner or mascara.  Come prepared with a clean eye area so your artist has the most time possible to spend on your lashes.

HOW SOON BEFORE MY SPECIAL EVENT CAN I GET MY LASHES DONE?

We recommend at least 2 days before your scheduled event.  If you have never had lash extensions applied before, we recommend coming in 2-3 weeks prior to your event for a full set, then book a lash fill a few days prior to the actual event date.  As with any beauty enhancing treatment, it may take time to adjust to your new look and also to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction.

I DON’T HAVE ANY NATURAL LASHES, AM I STILL A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Lash extensions are applied to your natural lashes, therefore, the amount of natural lashes you have is extremely relevant.  If you have short weak natural lashes or small gaps in your lash line, volume lashes are perfect for you.  Volume lash extensions are extremely lightweight and highly customizable, which allows gaps to be filled and a beautiful full lash line to be built.

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY NEW EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

The first 48 hours following your application are most crucial.  Care must be taken not to rub your eyes, pull your lashes, or scratch (this may cause your lashes to fall out prematurely).  Gently cleanse around the eye region with Lash Bath or foam using a lash cleansing brush or your fingers.

CAN I SWIM, SHOWER, EXERCISE, OR VISIT A SPA WHILE WEARING EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Yes, but steam, excessive water, and oils do weaken the bond of the adhesive. We recommend that you do not wash or wet your lashes for 4 hours after the eyelash application to allow your lashes to “set” completely.

CAN I APPLY MASCARA TO EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Having extensions actually gives the illusion of wearing mascara.  DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA as these can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your extensions causing them to fall out sooner.

CAN THE EXTENSIONS BE REMOVED?

Yes, they can easily be removed.  Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own.
