Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent way to lengthen and thicken your lashes, yet still keep them natural looking.
The initial procedure can take about 1 to 2 hours. During this time your lash technician will gently apply single lash extensions to individual lashes to lengthen and thicken your own lashes. The initial lashes, when taken care of properly, can last around 4 to 6 weeks. Three weeks after the initial appointment, it is important to return for a touch-up session. This is where your lash tech will apply more lashes to fill in the areas where the older ones may start to fall off. It is imperative that you follow your after-care instructions. This will keep your beautiful lashes lasting longer.
After-Care Instructions:
The natural eyelash cycle is approximately four to twelve weeks. Do not be alarmed if a couple of your lashes fall out quickly (they most likely were at the end of their cycle). The majority of extensions will stay through a complete cycle if you follow these guidelines:
​
Your new extensions cannot get wet for a minimum of 12 hours; 48 hours would be ideal to allow the adhesive to set. A dry washcloth can be rolled up and placed over your brows when you shower to protect your extensions from becoming totally saturated.
Do not use regular or waterproof mascara. Most brands of mascara contain chemical properties and oils that will break down the adhesive. Removing mascara from your lashes can cause the extensions to fall off prematurely as well. If you want to further enhance your lash extensions, we have a specially formulated eyelash extension sealant that is ideal for protecting and extending the life of your extensions. Ask your lash stylist for more information.
Take special care around the eye area when cleansing your face. Gently cleanse the eye with a water-base cleanser and do not scrub or rub your eyes. Avoid any type of oil-based product around the eyes. Again, the oils will break down the adhesive and cause the extensions to fall off.
Never use a clamp-style eyelash curler on your extensions. This can permanently damage not only the extensions, but your natural eyelashes as well. Eyelash brushes (spoolies) are great for gently grooming your lashes every morning.
By avoiding extreme heat, humidity, and cold weather (i.e. – hot showers, saunas, zero degree weather), your extensions can last longer.
Be sure to schedule a touch-up appointment every 2-3 weeks. This will keep your lashes looking full and natural, indefinitely.
Do not attempt to remove the extensions yourself. Have them removed by a professional.
