What are eyelash extensions?

A process in which a single natural eyelash is isolated and a faux lash or hand-made volume fan is applied to the top of your own natural eyelash approximately 1 mm from the eyelid so neither the glue or the lash has contact with the skin. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for day-to-day wear.Lash extensions can only be applied to your natural lashes, not your skin.

How do I choose the look I want?

Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. We normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to size. Each person’s lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The overall look of the lashes is very natural.

How long do lash extensions last?

The lash extensions will stay on anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. The bond life depends on many things such as: Proper after care, proper preparation, and proper application. Due to the lashes growth cycle, refills must be applied to fill in the gaps from the natural lashes that have fallen out.

What is a fill?

A refill consists of the lash artist going through the lashes to remove grown out lash extensions and add new extensions.

How often should I get touch ups?

I recommend getting a touch up every 2-3 weeks. If you wait too long, your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural eyelashes fall off every 45 to 60 days, due to the natural growth cycle, and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors, such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that have fallen out. 

Can I apply mascara to lash extensions?

Yes, even though mascara is not really required, since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara it can be worn. It must, however, only be water-based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara, or any type of oil-based mascara, can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Also, only apply from the middle of the lash to tip, keep away from the base of the lash. Care also needs to be taken when washing off the mascara. Only use a water-based eye makeup remover.

Will lash extensions damage my natural lash?

No. With skilled application, normal maintenance and care, the lash extensions will not damage your natural lash. They will grow out with your natural lash growth cycle.

How can lash extensions be removed?

Please do not try to remove lash extensions yourself... You will end up pulling out your natural lashes if you pick or pull on the extensions. I apply a special gel on to the extensions, it is made to weaken the bond of the glue. No damage is done to your natural lashes.

Are they permanent? 

Lash extensions are semi-permanent. Your natural lashes grow and shed at their own pace which is why you need to get them filled every 2-4 weeks. 

Can I use eyelash curlers with lash 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.

Do you fill in other lash artist's work?

Yes. I ask for clients to send pictures of their lashes before coming in and require you to book a 60 min appointment and it’s not guaranteed I can fill the lashes. Depending on application, isolation and products used I will be able to decide if I can work with them.

What are the extensions made of?

I use high-quality faux mink lashes.

How can I wash them/what do I use?

YOU NEED TO WASH YOUR LASHES. An extension safe foam cleanser and a fluffy soft eyeshadow brush. Use circular motions and rinse well. NEVER BRUSH YOUR LASHES WET. Pat them dry.

Can people with straight lashes get lash extensions?

Yes I offer different lash curls and styles custom made for your lash type. 

Do you do bottom lashes?

I am not offering bottom lash extensions as of now.

How do I take care of my new lash extensions?

• No makeup wipes

• No Face wash

• NEVER under eye cream or any moisturizer at night. Your extension lay in a pool of moisture/oil and will unattach very quickly.

• I recommend a specific oil free growth enhancer to keep the condition of the natural lash growing, stable and intact.

• Do not get lashes wet for 12- 24 hours

• Avoid hot steam or sauna

• Avoid splashing water directly on your lashes, vertical water is best

• Do not rub your eyes

• Only use water based mascara (optional)

• If applying mascara do so from middle to tip, avoid root area

• Use water based eye makeup remover

• Do not perm your lashes

• Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler

• Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely)

• DO LIE and say they are yours!
