Frequently Asked Questions
Eyelash Extensions
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are made from Faux Mink and mimic the look and feel of a natural eyelash extension. By isolating the natural lash, one by one, the faux lash is applied very precisely with a medical grade adhesive. When the process is complete, each lash will have an extension and result in longer, thicker, more dramatic lashes, riding of the use of mascara or eyeliner.
How long do the extensions last?
With proper care, your extensions can last up to 4 weeks. With routine fills, keep your lashes looking flawless, indefinitely.
Will the eyelash extensions ruin my natural lashes?
Our eyelash stylist are trained and liscened professionals. With proper application technique and proper aftercare, your natural lashes are completely safe. It is important to make sure you are taking the right steps for after care to ensure a healthy fall out.
How often do I need to get a fill?
It is recommended to get a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. At this rate, your lashes will continue to look full and beautiful. However, after 4 weeks, the lashes begin to look a little bare and if more than 40% of the lash extensions are missing, it is considered a full set and pricing may vary.
What do I need to do for aftercare?
It is recommended to not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24-48 hours. Although the adhesive is dry upon leaving, the inside of the glue is still curing. If you get the glue wet before the recommended cure time, it could effect it's adhesion and cause premature fallout. Depending on the glue, cure times may vary. Your lash professional will go over the required aftercare with you upon leaving.
What if I already have extensions from another artist and I want to come to you for a fill?
Unfortunately, because we cannot guarantee the work of another artist, we do not fill another artist's work. We are happy to do a complimetary removal of the existing lashes and preform a full set to get you set up for fills with us in the future.
What if I am experiencing excess lash loss?
With proper aftercare, there should be no reason you should be experiencing excess lash loss. We advise that you call your artist and inform them of your experience so we can determind the culprite. Usually, if you are experiencing excess lash loss in one eye only, you may be sleeping heavily on one side over another. Be cautious of face creams and washes, as they can contain ingredients that are not recommended for eyelash extensions. Remember to use only oil-free and no water-proof products.
Could there be an allergic reaction?
Although our company has never experienced an allergic reaction before, that does not mean an allergic reaction could not happen. We do offer a hyperallergic glue suitable for for those clients who know they have sensitive eyes/skin. Our glues are medical grade and safe for application however, a patch test is highly recommended for first time clients. A patch test will ensure that there are no reactions or allergies to the glue.
What if I want my eyelash extensions removed?
Under no circumstances should you try to remove the extensions yourself. Because the lashes are designed to shed with your natural lash cycle, you can either wait until all the lashes have completely fallen out or you can come in for a removal.
