Frequently Asked Questions

 Lash extensions are individual synthetic fibers or natural hairs that are carefully attached to your natural eyelashes to enhance their length, volume, and curl. This customizable beauty treatment creates a fuller, more dramatic look without the need for mascara. With proper application and care, lash extensions can last several weeks, providing a convenient solution for effortlessly beautiful eyes.

 A lash lift is a beauty treatment that enhances the natural curl of your eyelashes, giving them a lifted and more defined appearance. The process involves applying a gentle solution to the lashes to curl them from the base, along with a nourishing keratin treatment at the end of the service that strengthens and conditions the lashes. This lasting effect typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, eliminating the need for eyelash curlers and mascara, and making your eyes look brighter and more awake with minimal effort. 

Lash extensions typically last 2 to 4 weeks, depending on factors like your natural lash growth cycle, lifestyle, and aftercare. As your natural lashes shed, the extensions will gradually fall off, so regular fills are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to keep them looking full and fresh. Factors such as excessive rubbing of the eyes, exposure to oil-based products, high heat exposure or improper cleaning can cause extensions to shed more quickly. Proper aftercare, including gentle cleansing and avoiding oil-based products, can help prolong the life of your extensions. 

Arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your first appointment, make sure you have the beauty consent form filled out ahead of time to streamline the process. Arrive with clean makeup free lashes, avoid caffeine, and discuss any concerns, preferences or if you have pictures of lashes with your desired outcome to show your technician.  Plan for time depending on the type of lashes you choose, the appointment can take anywhere from 1 to 2+ hours. Make sure to set aside enough time so you can relax and enjoy the experience!

 It is generally not recommended to wear mascara with lash extensions, as it can cause clumping, weigh down the lashes, and reduce their lifespan. If you do choose to wear mascara, make sure to use a water-based, extension-safe formula to prevent damage. For the best results, it's best to let your lash extensions stand on their own for a fuller, more defined look without the need for mascara. 

If you have sensitive eyes and skin or have previously reacted to lash extensions, it is important to inform your technician before your appointment. They may recommend a patch test to ensure you are not allergic or sensitive to the products used. If you have sensitivity to the products, your technician can apply sensitive adhesives or lash glues to reduce the risk of irritation and to  ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. 

When applied correctly by a skilled technician, lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. The key is ensuring that the extensions are applied properly to each individual natural lash, without any glue coming into contact with the skin or overloading the lashes with excessive weight. However, improper application, such as using overly heavy extensions, not allowing enough time for natural lash growth, or frequent picking or tugging at the extensions, can lead to damage over time. Regular maintenance, such as getting fills and following proper aftercare, will help protect the health of your natural lashes. 

If you experience any allergic reaction or have sensitivity concerns after getting your lashes done, contact us immediately for guidance. We may recommend removing the extensions if symptoms like swelling, redness, or irritation persist. To prevent future reactions, inform your technician so they can use sensitive formulas during your next appointment. Always consider doing a patch test before your next session to ensure the products are safe for your skin and eyes.
