FAQ

Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic lashes of different lengths, curls and weight (thickness) cut in the shape of a natural lash and applied one-by-one to each individual natural lash as an ‘extension’ of your natural lash. Lash extensions are not strip lashes, clusters or flares. Lash extensions are meant to lengthen, thicken and enhance the natural lash line without causing any pain, discomfort or damage.

The biggest myth is that lash extensions ruin your own lashes. They do not. When applied correctly and properly, they are safe and do not ruin the health of your natural lashes. Be sure not to rub your eyes or tug or pull on the extensions because this can cause lash loss and even damage to your natural lashes. If lashes are applied properly and to each individual lash, they won’t fall out.

The lashes are applied directly to the natural lash, never applied to the skin. The procedure is pain free and the extensions are feather light, so they will not pull your natural lashes out. We take extra care to make sure we cover each individual lash. We do not clump lashes together, apply them to the skin, or damage your natural lashes with an improper application. The eyes should always remain closed while receiving this proceedure.

Not just for celebrities, normal, everyday ladies love eyelash extensions, and many can't live without them! From a highly visible business professional,to a bride on her special day, to a stay-at-home-mom who just doesn't have time for makeup, anyone who wants longer lashes that have the appearance of wearing mascara will love eyelash extensions. The extensions come in a variety of lengths, curls, and colors so you can have a the lashes you have dreamed of and that fit your style!

An individual with any allergy to adhesives or cyanoacrylate adhesives. An individual who has undergone chemotherapy over the last six months, or an individual who does not have natural eyelashes may not have Eyelash Extensions applied. Lashes that grow into the eye are not candidates for lash extensions either. If you suffer from an eye infecton or a degenerative disease of the eye, we cannot apply lash extensions to your eyes.

Lash extensions require touch ups every 2-3 weeks to maintain their fullness. The longivity of your extensions will vary based upon your natural lash growth cycle; if your hair grows fast, then so will your extensions, and fills will be needed more often. If you follow our instructions for caring for your lash extensions, your lashes will remain fuller longer. The average human eye sheds 5-7 natural eyelashes per day, this is 70-90 natural lashes within 2 weeks (half your natural eyelashes), this is why we recommend fills every 2 to 3 weeks. If you return for a fill with less than 40% of your extensions in place, you will be required to obtain a full set. Our rates are set based upon time and coverage applied.

Yes, but most clients don't even feel the need to wear eye makeup...Just wake up and go! No more running, streaking, smudging, or flaking mascara. You can still use eyeliner and eye shadows as usual, as long as it is not waterproof or liquid, as these products will break down the adhesive. Mascara is NOT recommended, as this will break down the adhesive, clump up the extensions and cause your extensions to come off earlier than expected.

Once the glue on your lash extensions has had enough time to dry (24 hrs) you won’t have to worry about getting them wet or submerging them in water. However, there are a few things you can do to make sure they last for as long as possible:

When you do get your lashes wet, don’t dry them off or rub them with a towel. Instead dab above and below your lashes.

If you’re going to the beach or pool, be careful when you apply sunscreen. Avoid putting sunscreen on your eyelids. Sometimes the oil from the sunscreen can break down the glue causing your extensions to fall out. Try wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes instead.

Volume Lashes are created by using multiple lightweight extensions with thinner diameters and creating a fan and placing the fans on each natural lash, the result is that you get a thicker darker fuller lash line versus classic extensions which use one extension to one natural lash. Volume Lashes are not to be confused with cluster lashes found in many beauty supply stores. Cluster lashes are bulkier, heavier, and are only meant to last a couple days.

Never allow shower water to beat directly on your extensions. Constant pressure on the extensions can cause them to "pop" off or wear off sooner than normal.

Do not rub, pick, pull or twist your extensions.

Do not sleep on your lashes. If you are a side sleeper, try and keep your lashes out of the pillow (sleeping on your side or your face creates wrinkles and lines on your face, in addition to ruining your lashes- incentive to Not sleep on your face).

Gently comb the tips of your extensions with the spoolie brush provided as needed to straighten and "fluff" your extensions. Do not overcomb your extensions, or use the spoolie brush as you would with mascara.

Never use mascara on your extensions, as this will shorten the lifespan of your extensions, cause clumping, and dissolve the adhesive. You can use mascara on your bottom lashes.

Never use organic solvents or oil makeup removers on your extensions, as this will disolve the adhesive and ruin your extensions.

Receive regular fills to maintain the fullness and natural look of your extensions.

Cleanse your eyelash extensions several times per week, if not daily, with our Lash Cleanse Remove; a water-based non-irritating lash cleanser.
