Eyelash Extensions

Like hair extensions, eyelash extensions are a cosmetic process whereby synthetic materials are applied to create a fuller, longer look. Aiming for an authentic, natural feel, they come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses, and can be worn during sleep, showering and swimming. Eyelash extensions differ from “fake” or “false” eyelashes in that they are applied one by one, and can last up to six weeks.

A full set of Eyelash Extensions take an average of 1.5 to 2 hours. You will be lying down on a massage table for the entire process. Often clients take this time to have a rest as it can be quite a relaxing process.
You are welcome to bring an ipod and wear comfortable clothes. For safety you will be asked to open your eyes so your lash technician can apply eye pads over your bottom lashes. The pads are 100% safe and they are made to sit close to your eye.
Once the pads are applied you will be asked to close your eyes and your eyelash technician will isolate a single natural lash and apply a synthetic lash to your natural lash. The lash is attached with a latex based bonding adhesive. This step is then repeated until the desired look is achieved.

Since eyelash extensions shed just like natural lashes, clients are advised to have them refilled every 2-3 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. The average cycle of a single natural eyelash is 60 -90 days. When the lash is applied there is no way of knowing if it is at the beginning or end of the lash cycle. Everyone’s experience will differ based on day to day activities, but touchups will be required every 2-3 weeks.

We recommend you get a touch-up/refill every 2-3 weeks. If you wait more than 3 weeks some of your lashes will be missing and we will suggest you get a full set. Factors such as over exposure to water, steam or fondling your lashes can cause you to need a refill sooner.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! We recommend that the first 12-48 hrs you reserve extreme caution with your eyelash extensions and do not apply water on or near the lashes.

Mascara does not have to be worn with eyelash extensions because they give the illusion that you are wearing it already. If you decide to wear mascara ONLY USE Water based mascara. DO NOT USE any oil or water proof mascara. Mascara that is oil based can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life span of your extensions and cause them to fall out sooner.

Flare Lashes are clusters of lashes that consist of groups of 6 to 8 lashes bonded together in clusters. These clusters are then added to your lashes to create a full lash line. It takes up to 30 minutes. Flare Lashes only last up to two weeks because the glue is designed for a temporary hold. Eyelash Extensions are applied to each single lash and grow out with your natural lashes. Eyelash Extensions give the most natural look of real lashes and last longer due to a stronger adhesive. Flare Lashes are great for a temporary look and Eyelash Extensions are more for someone that wants fabulous lashes everyday.

If you have a lot of lashes and you just want a little length added to them the Flirty Wink (up to 45 lashes per eye) will be enough to extend them in various areas to give a cat eye effect. If you don’t have a lot of lashes and they are scarce, thin or short you should get the Girly Wink (up to 70 lashes per eye). This will give you a full set from the inside to the outside corner. If you are a diva then go all out and get the Diva Wink (up to 120 lashes per eye) this is a lash on every lash possible for a glamorous lash look.
