FAQ's & TIPS

Eyelash extensions alone will not damage your natural eyelashes. Damage to the natural eyelashes is the result of improper application, and the eyelash technician not selecting the proper type of eyelash extension for an existing natural eyelash. This problem occurs when applying extensions that are too heavy for the natural lash, resulting in premature shedding. It is imperative to do your due diligence, and select an experienced lash technician to apply your lash extensions. Being rough with your eyes ie: rubbing, picking or pulling the extensions will also result in immediate breakage. It is important to be gentle with your eyes when eyelash extensions are applied.

No. This is a very relaxing, non-invasive procedure and most clients catch up on their beauty sleep during this time. During your appointment, you will lay with your eyes closed, on a soft, spa-like bed, with a soft pillow and cozy blanket for extra comfort. After your lashes are cleansed and primed, your bottom eyelashes are protected with a gel eye-pad and/ or medical tape, and the extensions are applied with medical-grade adhesive, one individual eyelash at a time. You will be woken up to a beautiful set of flawless eyelashes.

Yes; The extensions are semi-permanent so they may be removed at any time. Always consult an eyelash technician to have your extensions removed. We use the proper adhesive removers and materials to safely remove the extensions while never compromising the health of your natural eyelashes. A removal appointment is about 30 minutes in duration.

Typically, eyelash extensions can last up to 4-5 weeks before they all shed, however at 3 to 4 weeks, they will look quite sparse and require a full set to be applied. They also shed with your natural hair growth cycle, which is typically every 6 to 8 weeks. Every set will differ, and their longevity depends on your aftercare. A refill is recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to keep the lash line looking full and flawless.

There are many factors that will be taken into consideration when helping create the right look for you. Prior to your application, we will consult with you to assess what the shape of your eye is, to determine what style suits your face - a cat eye, doll eye, open eye. Also, the type of style you are interested in – classic, hybrid or volume. Eyelash extensions range in lengths, thickness, and curls. Each individual has eyelashes that range in lengths and strengths so we will then determine what length, thickness and curl your natural eyelash can hold, and create a set that you desire and that is best suitable for you.

It is recommended that you book your eyelash extension appointment at least 3 days prior to your special event or vacation, to allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure properly and ensure your lashes are looking their best.

Shower before your appointment. The first 24 to 48 hours are crucial to the bonding procedure. In order for the glue to dry thoroughly, you cannot wet your eyelash extensions 24 hours post application. Arrive to your appointment with a clean face. This means no mascara or any oil-based makeup products on the face and around the eye area. Remove your contacts prior to your appointment. They may be re-applied after your application. Do not curl your natural eyelashes with an eyelash curler for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid drinking caffeine prior to your appointment, or that may cause your eyes to flutter and twitch. Be prepared to lay with your eyes closed for a few hours. An appointment can vary from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on the style and volume you desire. On average, a full classic set appointment is 2 hours, and a volume set appointment can last up to 4 hours.

Keep your eyelash extensions dry for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Gently cleanse your eyelash extensions regularly with an oil-free face and eyelash cleanser. Avoid waterproof mascara, liquid eyeliner, or any oil-based products in and around the eye area. Avoid rubbing, picking, pulling your extensions. Do not trim your extensions. Do not use a manual eyelash curler, as that will cause your extensions to bend or break. The extensions already come with a defined curl. Avoid sleeping on your face. If you are a face sleeper, invest in a silk pillowcase. Cotton causes friction, and may cause your extensions to shed quicker. Gently brush your extensions daily with a mascara wand, provided at every appointment. Maintain care and fullness of your eyelash extensions by scheduling a regular refill appointment every 2 to 3 weeks. .

Like the hair on your head, your natural eyelashes grow and shed daily. After 3 weeks, most of your eyelash extensions will have grown out at least 2mm and those grow outs will have to be removed and replaced with a new extension. When the extension grows out past the 3-week mark, it tends to create weight on the natural lash and twist, or turn sideways and that is not comfortable or healthy for your natural lashes. After the grown out extensions are removed, you will have less than 40% of the extensions remaining, resulting in a full set having to be applied, as most of your natural eyelashes will need to be filled with new extensions. This is why refills are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain an even lash line and avoiding an additional full set charge.
