What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are a new and exciting way to extend the length and thickness of your natural eyelash. I apply on a hair-by-hair basis to your own eyelashes for a completely natural look.
How long will my eyelash extensions last?
Touch-ups are recommended every 2-3 weeks after initial full set application to replace any eyelashes that have fallen out. How long they last depends on two things-
1. how well you follow the aftercare instructions (verbally as well as a take home card)
2. your own natural lash growth cycle.
Can I wear mascara with my eyelash extensions?
One of the benefits of eyelash extensions is that you wont need to wear mascara any more!
Your eyelashes will look so long, beautiful and dark! However, if you still want to wear mascara, I have some extension safe in stock that you can purchase. But still apply it to the eyelash tips ONLY- do not apply mascara near the base of the eyelash. Do not use waterproof mascara as it will desolve the bonding adhesive on your lashes, water soluble mascara is OK, but constant use of it will shorten the life span of your eyelash extensions.
Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa
while wearing Eyelash Extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent I use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do recommend however that you do not wash your eye area for approximately 24 hours after the eyelash application.
Top Questions I Hear From My Clients
FAQ
Are eyelash extensions the right thing for me?
Almost anyone can enjoy extensions, but if one or more of the following conditions applies to you, you may not be a good candidate:
-you rub your eyes frequently. If you rub your eyes due to allergies, or if it is a habit you may not be a good candidate.
-you have highly sensitive skin. If you experience irritation around the eye area after using skin products or make up you may not be a good candidate.
-You are sick, eye operation or cosmetic surgery.
-your natural eyelashes are very curly. Curly eyelashes tend to shorten the wear time, usually fall off in days vs weeks and start to lift early.
The general rule to properly maintain eyelash extensions is, ”The Less You Touch Them, The Longer They Will Last!”.
It is also very important to keep the eye area clean and not to apply eyeliner, eyeshadow or any eyemake up too close to the lash area. Most products have oil in them and oil breaks down the adhesive.
Are eyelash extensions safe?
Yes, absolutely! They are completely safe and painless. I don't use bulk materials (glue) purchased through a discount service as well the
adhesive is formaldehyde, latex, and gluten free!
What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?
With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. No one will know you have extensions. They will just think you were born with beautiful, long and luxurious lashes!
Can I use eyelash curlers with Eyelash Extensions?
I do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl so most people find they don't need to curl them further.
