Eyelash Extensions

1. What are eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are semi- permanent lashes that are hand-glued on top of your natural lashes. Because lash extensions are glued on individually, unlike strip lashes, they’re super customizable and actually look real.

2. How long do eyelash extensions last?

A full set will last as long as your natural lash cycle, which is anywhere from 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual. I recommend getting a fill anywhere between 3 and 4 weeks.

3. Will lash extensions damage my natural lashes?

No! When applied properly, with perfect isolation and weight eyelash extensions will not harm your natural lashes.

4. What is the difference between classic, hybrid, and volume eyelash extensions?

Classic lashes are the most natural of the three methods as one extension is applied to one natural lash. A hybrid set is a blend between classic and volume lashes. Volume lashes is the most dramatic of the three in terms of fullness, however it can be done to look natural as well. Volume lashes consists of applying 2-8 extensions on one natural lash using ultra-fine extensions to offset the added weight. 

A classic set will require the least amount of application time and volume set will require the most application time due to the advanced level of skill and precision required.

5. What is the aftercare for eyelash extensions?

• Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours
• Wash with eyelash cleanser daily 
• Brush daily
• Be gentle with them
• Use oil-free products around eyes
• Avoid being close to direct heat (ovens, hot steam, lighters, etc)
