Lash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are used to enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. A method where lash extensions are glued to the natural lash. The number of natural lashes you have and the type of look you’re trying achieve will determine exactly how long your appointment will be. Everyone has different lashes, and depending on the condition of your own natural lashes, lash experts can only go a certain length or thickness. (This is to ensure that your own lashes remain healthy.) For example, if your natural lashes are on the shorter, thinner side, you won't be able to get volume or mega volume look, because it won't last. It's best to start out with the Classic set. If you aren't sure or it's your first time, Brianne and her expertise at extensions will help you to decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prep before my appointment?

Prior to your appointment, try your best to arrive without any eye makeup, do not curl your lashes or wear mascara the day before and the day of your appointment. It will help minimize the cleanup time and more time for lashing.

 

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

Based on the growth cycle of eyelashes, when applying lashes, lash stylist are trained to look for adult lashes to attach the 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 with your eyes closed on a comfortable spa bed in a serene setting. This usually takes about 1.5 hours for a full set of lashes, but also depends on the set of lashes you decide to get. 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. It is a really relaxing, non-invasive treatment and most of our clients take the time to catch up on their beauty sleep!

 

How long will my new lashes last?

Your new lashes will last between 1 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. Unfortunately, there is no set amount of time that a set of eyelash extensions should last as we all have different Lash Growth Cycles and these continually change due to factors such as age, change of season, hormones, oily eyelids, amount of lashes and length among other things.

On average, most people will lose 3-5 natural lashes per eye every single day. This is completely normal and healthy as new lashes take their place.

Most importantly don’t compare your set of lash extensions to anyone else’s set of lash extensions as we all have our own unique set of natural lashes with many varying factors as stated above.

 

How often should I be coming in for lash refills?
 

We recommend getting refills every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Factors such as exposure to humidity, sweating, steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall quicker. Refills can take from 45 - 60 minutes, depending on the state of your remaining lashes. A good sign of when you need a refill is when your extensions are 50%-60% gone.

 

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. Also, take care in washing off all eye makeup. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.

 

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

Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise. 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. However, it is important to understand that there are no guarantees for the bonding time length of the eyelash extensions.

  • Do not go tanning for 24 hours after application
