What to Prepare Before Getting Eyelash Extensions?

Accepted Answer

- Take shower as close as possible to your appointment time since you cannot take shower for 24hrs after the application.
- Arrive with no make-up. If your lashes are dirty, glue won’t adhere to niether natural lash so this will make lashes fall off quicker and easier.
- To have a more relaxed experience, avoid any caffeinated beverages before the application, this can cause eye twitching.
- Do not curl your lashes the day of your appointment.
- If you are a contact lens wearer, wear your glasses to your appointment.

Question 5

What is the Aftercare?

Accepted Answer

- Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours.The extensions need that amount of time to properly bond.
- Avoid pulling or rubbing your eyes.
- Do not use eyelash curlers with your extensions. With proper application you will not need them.
- Brushing every day!  If your eyelashes are tangled or crossed over, use the Spoolie given to you during your appointment to gently brush them straight and put them in place. You can purchase a longer life coating to extend the wear of your lash extensions in between fills.
- Use only mascaras that are safe for eyelash extensions, no oil-based or waterproof mascaras. We have extension safe mascaras available for purchase at your appointment.
- After showering avoid rubbing lashes, it best to blot them with a towel and let them air dry.
- You can also dry the lashes by using a hair dryer on the cool setting and blowing them dry from the bottom up. It makes them curlier and fluffy.
- Use care when applying facial and eye creams to avoid the lash line. Too many oil-based products can break down the adhesive.
- We recommends refill appointments every two weeks to maintain the fullness

Question 10

Will I Lose Some of My Natural Eyelashes?

Accepted Answer

Natural eyelashes grow in and fall out in cycles, which occurs every 60 to 90 days. Depending on their individual lash growth cycles, a person can typically shed between 1 and 5 natural lashes every day. In nature, we lose our natural eyelash with or without extensions on. We recommend getting a fill every two to three weeks to fill in lashes on the new growth.

Question 11

Why am I Losing My Extensions So Fast?

Accepted Answer

Lash extensions are not permanent and can fall out as your natural lashes go through a growth cycle. Many other things can factor into lashes falling out quicker such as.. weather(humidity/sweating), Hormones, Certain Medical Conditions, not brushing, over brushing (in this case 4-6 hours after your appointment), not cleaning the lashes at least every other day, using your fingers to pick or touch them, using oil based products on your eyes, saunas or spas, not using the proper lash cleanser, wind blowing in your face, the state and quality of your natural lashes, sleeping on your side or on your face, going to the beach and NOT properly caring for them after can also effect this. If you have sparse, weak and or lashes that lay down this can effect the longevity of the extensions.

Question 13

A Friend of Mine Is Allergic to the Products, Is This Common?"

Accepted Answer

True allergic reactions do happen, but are rare. If you have developed an allergic reaction you may still wear extensions with some changes made to the aftercare process. What is more common is eye infection due to improperly washing and caring for your lashes. Waiting 24 hours to wash lashes and not washing your eyelashes the entire time you wear them are the most common causes of infections. Imagine not washing the head on your hair for weeks or months. This is the most common reason wearers lose their lashes prematurely.
