What are eyelash extensions?
They are synthetic lashes that are glued onto your natural lashes to enhance their length, volume, and curl.
What are the benefits?
They provide a natural-looking, fuller, and longer-lasting lash look, requiring minimal maintenance.
What are the risks?
Improper application or aftercare can lead to damage to your natural lashes, so it's crucial to choose a qualified and experienced lash tech.
How long does the application take?
A full set typically takes 2-3 hours, while refills are usually faster, around 1-2 hours.
Can I wear mascara with extensions?
It's generally recommended to avoid mascara, as it can shorten the lifespan of your extensions and make them harder to clean.
Can I swim or go to the gym with extensions?
Yes, but avoid getting them wet for the first 24-48 hours after application and be mindful of the effects of sweat and chlorine.
How often do I need refills?
Refills are recommended every 2-3 weeks to maintain a full and even look.
What should I avoid after getting extensions?
Avoid rubbing your eyes, pulling on your lashes, using oil-based products, and going to saunas or steam rooms.
How do I clean my lash extensions?
Use a lash extension cleanser and a soft brush to gently clean your lashes daily.
What if I'm allergic to the adhesive?
Lash adhesives typically do not contain latex, but it's always best to inform your lash tech of any allergies or sensitivities.
