Frequently Asked Questions
How do Eyelash Extensions work?
Eyelash Extensions are semi-permanent synthetic eyelashes, designed to create depth, length and enhance natural shape and color of eyes. Individual Eyelash Extensions are applied to the base of each of your natural lashes with a surgical grade glue.
Will Eyelash Extensions damage my natural lashes?
Eyelash Extensions that have been properly applied, do not damage natural lashes! Our Extensions are very light and soft, making them gentle and safe for even the most fragile natural eyelashes. Our gold standard products and application techniques ensure that your natural lashes will continue to grow and stay healthy.
What are Homecare Guidelines?
Guidelines for homecare are designed to help you retain your Extensions and keep your natural lashes healthy. Your Artist will educate you on how to clean, brush, and keep oils and other products away from your extensions.
How long do Extensions last?
Eyelash Extensions are not permanent and do require regular maintenance. Natural eyelashes shed on an average rate of 2 to 5 a day. Since Extensions are attached to your natural lashes, they will shed at the same growth rate as your natural lashes. To keep extensions full, we recommend scheduling regular two-week to three-week Relash Appointments.
What is a Full Set?
What is the difference between Classic, Hybrid, Volume and Mega Volume?
A Full Set is the initial appointment required for anyone who does not have any extensions on their natural lashes and has not received Eyelash Extension Services before. The Full Set creates a foundation for future Eyelash Extension Services. During this 2-to-3-hour appointment your Artist will apply Extensions to each of your natural lashes. Full Sets are also required for those who have gone 4 weeks or more since their last Relash.
The primary difference between each style of Eyelash Extensions is the number of Extensions that are applied to each natural eyelash. Classic Extensions consist of one extension per natural lash. Hybrid combine Classic and Volume. Volume Extensions consist of 2-9 extensions on a natural lash. Mega Volume consist of up to 20 extensions on natural lash. Length, curl and shape of Extensions, are determined by the length of your natural lashes and what they can hold in a healthy way. Design (i.e. Cateye) and other features are all customized by your Lash Artist.
Are Eyelash Extensions comfortable to wear?
YES! Eyelash Extensions should never feel heavy, stiff, itchy or difficult to clean or brush. When applied properly, quality extensions will feel as comfortable as wearing your natural lashes.
What is a Relash Appointment?
Relash Services are designed to replace extensions that have shed, over a designated amount of time. Ideally in two weeks' time clients should have retained 40% or more of their extensions. During the Relash Appointment, your Artist will cleanse your extensions, and then apply new extensions to any areas where lashes have shed or grown out.
What are the benefits of Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are known for creating the appearance of longer, fuller, curlier, and darker lashes. When applied properly Extensions will also create an eyeliner effect, conceal hooded lids, correct drooping lids, and make eyes appear bigger and brighter. Many of our clients enjoy the convenience of not having to apply mascara or strip lashes every day. Eyelash Extensions are a convenient and comfortable way to feel more beautiful and put together every day.
