Eyelash Extensions

What are lash extensions?

Lash extensions are a semi-permanent eyelash procedure that enhances your eyes by attaching synthetic, faux mink or silk fibres to each individual eyelash. The procedure is painless and relaxing. It lasts up to 2-6 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle, however it is recommended to book a refill appointment every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness of your lashes.

The average person has about 90-120 natural lashes per eye. Each eye can shed 2-3 lashes per day.

1 week = 21 lashes

2 weeks = 42 lashes

3 weeks = 63 lashes.

This is why lash fills should be booked every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full and beautiful. Extensions are available in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and curls and will be customized to best fit your facial features and desired look.

Before your appointment:

· Please arrive to your appointment with no makeup, and a clean face.

· Avoid use of any oil-based products around your eyes.

· It is recommended to shower prior to your lash appointment as you cannot get them wet for 24 hours.

During the Application:

· Your lower lashes will be covered to prevent contact with the top lashes during the application.

· Keep your eyes closed during the application

· Lash extensions will be attached to your natural eyelash close to the hair root, not touching the skin or eyes.

· Application for a full set of extensions takes on average 1.5-2.5 hours.

Aftercare:

· Do not get lashes wet for 24hrs after application, That means, no showers, sweating or crying for 24 hrs!! Moisture can cause adhesive to reactivate causing lashes to stick together.

· Heat/flame from lighters, ovens, or BBQs can singe your lashes and cause them to melt! Keep those lashes far away from flame and heat to avoid this from happening.

· Resist pulling, picking or touching your lashes. Your fingers have natural oils on them, touching your lashes can cause premature fall out causing them to not last. Contact me if any irritation occurs post application.

· No eyelash curlers, mascara or oil-bases products on your lashes.

· Wash your lashes on a daily basis! I recommend washing your lashes once a day to get rid of any dirt and oil build-up! Washing your lashes will help with retention and wash away the oils that can breakdown the adhesive.

· Dry your lashes with hair dryer on cool setting or a hand fan, brushing them out gently to fluff them up.
