Frequently asked lash extension questions.
What are lash extensions, and how do they work?
Lash extensions are synthetic fibers individually applied to your natural lashes, enhancing length, thickness, and curl. They create a fuller, more dramatic look, seamlessly blending with your existing lashes.
How long do lash extensions last?
The longevity of lash extensions varies, but on average, they can last for two to three weeks. Regular touch-ups or lash fills maintain their fullness and ensure a continuous, flawless appearance.
Is there anything I need to do before my lash extensions appointment?
Yes, arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes. Remove any eye makeup, mascara, or oil-based products to ensure a clean canvas for the lash application.
How do I care for my lash extensions post-application?
Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after the application. After that, gently cleanse them with a lash extension-safe cleanser, and avoid rubbing or pulling on the lashes.
Can I wear contact lenses during the lash extension procedure?
It's recommended to remove contact lenses before the appointment. Please bring your eyeglasses for post-application use.
Should I avoid caffeine on the day of my appointment?
While not mandatory, limiting caffeine intake can minimize eye fluttering during the procedure, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
Can I get lash extensions if I have eye infections or allergies?
If you have active eye infections or allergies, it's advisable to postpone your appointment until the condition clears. Consult with our technicians if you have concerns about eye health.
How long does the lash extension procedure take?
A typical lash extension appointment to apply a full set of lashes lasts about two hours, depending on the desired look and the number of lashes being applied. Lash fills range from 45-90 minutes depending on the lash style & fullness of remaining lashes.
Is there anything I should avoid before my lash extension appointment?
Yes, avoid using waterproof mascara and oil-based eye makeup removers in the days leading up to your appointment. These can affect the adherence of the lash adhesive.
Can I wear mascara after getting lash extensions?
While mascara isn't necessary, if you choose to wear it, use a water-based, lash extension-friendly formula. Avoid waterproof mascara, as it can be challenging to remove and may damage the extensions.
