Yes! Arrive without any eye makeup. Do not wear mascara the day before and the day of your appointment, or waterproof mascara for 3 days prior to your appointment. This will minimize the ‘cleanup’ time and allow more time for applying the extensions.  If ‘cleanup’ is necessary there may be an additional charge.

for the first 24 hours:

For the first 24 hours, do not get your lashes wet. Avoid steam rooms, tanning, and sweaty workouts. You can wash your face; however, use a washcloth to rinse around the eye area.

 after 24 hours:

Do not use waterproof mascara or eye masks. We do carry a mascara made especially for eyelash extensions, ask your technician for details if interested, however we feel the extensions alone are pretty enough without the mascara.
Avoid sleeping with your eyes squished on the pillow. Also, avoid rubbing your eyes.

Use a washcloth to wash your face (instead of splashing) – also great for a gentle daily exfoliation.

You can exercise as usual, however please note the bond of the extensions weaken with excessive sweat and oils, therefore those who engage in high cardio workouts as well as hot yoga will notice a compromise in the life of the extensions. It is recommended to use a headband if you sweat a lot during your work-outs.

On the average person, Full and Partial sets, the Extensions will look full for approximately 4-5 weeks. To maintain this full look you may require a fill. Some don’t require a fill until the 3rd or 4th week.  These are averages only. Some experience a much better retention rate while others fair very poorly. Factors include the strength and texture of your natural lash, and the way you care for your eyelash extensions.

The application of lash extensions, when applied properly by a trained professional, will not cause hair loss, nor will it cause eyelashes to fall out. Remember that your natural lashes have their own life cycle of falling and growing – like the hair found elsewhere on your body. It’s hard to notice small lashes falling out, but when attached to a thicker, longer lash they become much more noticeable! Once the extensions are removed, your own eyes may appear smaller, your natural lashes, shorter and sparser because you’ve been accustomed to a full set of longer, thicker lashes.

Yes! Eyelash Extensions will allow you the freedom of looking beautiful without the fuss. You won’t need to worry about runny or flaking mascara. For brides, we recommend you come in for a consultation at least a month before your big day to decide on the look you want. And then book a Full Set a few days prior to your big day.
