Eyelash Extensions 101
Here's a comprehensive guide addressing all your queries and concerns:
Application Process
Our air-light lash extensions are meticulously applied individually, maintaining a 1mm distance from the eyelid, and never directly on the skin. Utilizing a medical-grade, formaldehyde-free adhesive, the extensions are delicately affixed to your natural eyelashes. Available in various lengths, thicknesses, and curls, the results range from subtle and natural to strikingly dramatic.
Preserving Your Natural Lashes
Concerned about losing your own lashes? Rest assured. We prioritize the integrity of your lashes, taking every precaution to ensure proper care and adherence to safety regulations. Regular lash care post-application is crucial, and as long as you refrain from rubbing or tugging at the extensions, your natural lashes will remain intact.
Procedure Duration
Wondering about the time commitment? The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the service received.
Safety and Comfort
Addressing the common misconception, eyelash extensions are no more harmful than applying mascara. When correctly and properly applied, they are safe and won't compromise the health of your natural lashes. Our lash extensions feel as light as your regular lashes, eliminating any sensation of heaviness.
Natural Shedding and Extension Longevity
Eyelash extensions naturally fall out during the hair regrowth cycle. The adhesive may break down over time due to factors like humidity, causing extensions to fall off. While the procedure is not painful, many clients find it incredibly relaxing, with some even dozing off during the process.
Appointment Etiquette
To guarantee accommodation, appointments are required. Please honor your scheduled time to avoid long waits and ensure a quality lash application.
Preparation and Care
Arrive makeup-free around the eye area for optimal adhesive bonding. Lashes must be clean, and using oil-free products is advised. Remove contact lenses before the procedure to enhance comfort.
Extension Maintenance and Aftercare
Lash extensions last through a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes, typically 4-6 weeks. Regular washing, refraining from steam rooms, and avoiding vigorous rubbing are key to maintaining their longevity.
Makeup and Eyeliner Compatibility
While most clients opt out of mascara, special mascara for extensions is available if desired. Eyeliner choices should avoid oil-based formulas and eyelash curlers.
Retouching Recommendations
We recommend touch-ups every 2-3 weeks, with more frequent visits for those practicing Hot Yoga and Sauna regularly.
Sleeping with Extensions
To maintain your extensions, sleeping on your back and using a silk pillowcase is advised.
Navigating the world of eyelash extensions is simple, and armed with this information, you can confidently embrace the experience ahead.
