So, what exactly are eyelash extensions? They are individual extensions made of synthetic material designed to mimic the appearance of natural eyelashes. These extensions are thicker at the base and gradually taper to a thinner tip, giving them a subtle curl. The most popular color choice is black, which beautifully enhances your lash line.
Our semi-permanent eyelash extensions typically last as long as your natural lash cycle. On average, the lashes on your eyelid shed at a rate of 20-30% every two weeks. As the natural hairs shed, the attached extensions also fall off. However, since new hairs are constantly growing, we recommend getting refills every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness of your lashes. With regular maintenance and refills, you can enjoy your eyelash extensions indefinitely.
Wondering if eyelash extensions are suitable for everyone? While most people are candidates for lash extensions, we advise individuals with certain conditions to schedule a free consultation before booking a full set. If you have extremely sensitive eyes or skin, an eye infection, or an allergy to cyanoacrylate (found in many adhesives), it's best to consult with our lash stylist to determine if eyelash extensions are right for you.
To maintain the longevity of your eyelash extensions, it's important to follow some care instructions. During the first 8 hours after application, avoid activities that may compromise the adhesive bond, such as swimming, spas, saunas, and tanning. After this initial period, your lashes are safe to get wet.
While sleeping, it's possible for the lashes to tangle or flip to the side. To prevent this, we recommend gently brushing through your lashes each morning with a clean mascara wand, reshaping the extensions and keeping them fluffed into place. Overall, the upkeep is minimal and easy to manage.
