Frequently Asked Questions
Before your appointment, please ensure you arrive with no eye makeup, and avoid curling your lashes or applying mascara on both the day before and the day of your appointment. This will reduce the time needed for cleaning and allow for more time to focus on the lash application.
Lash stylists are trained to apply individual synthetic lashes to mature, fully grown eyelashes, adhering to the natural growth cycle of the lashes. They deliberately avoid attaching extensions to new (baby) lashes, allowing these younger lashes to develop fully. This strategy ensures that, at the time of a refill, there are strong, mature lashes available for attachment. It's important to note that lash extensions do not cause your natural eyelashes to fall out. Similar to the hair on other parts of your body, your natural lashes undergo their own cycle of shedding and regrowth. The shedding of small, unnoticeable lashes becomes more apparent when they are connected to a thicker, longer extension. Upon removal of the extensions, you might perceive your natural lashes as shorter and sparser, and your eyes smaller, compared to the enhanced look provided by a full set of longer, thicker lashes. This is merely an adjustment to the contrast between your natural lashes and the extensions you've become accustomed to.
Lash extensions are meticulously applied as you recline comfortably on a spa bed, in a tranquil environment, with your eyes closed. The process for a full set of lashes typically lasts approximately 1.5 hours, although the duration may vary depending on the specific lash set chosen. Following the initial preparation of your lashes, a gel eye pad is used to safeguard your bottom lashes. Subsequently, lash extensions are attached individually using medical-grade adhesive. This procedure is thoroughly relaxing and non-invasive, providing many clients with the perfect opportunity to enjoy some beauty sleep.
The longevity of your new lash extensions ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, influenced by your skincare regimen and the natural growth cycle of your own lashes. To preserve the full appearance of your lashes, regular refills are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks.

It is advised to schedule refill appointments every 2 to 4 weeks. Delaying refills beyond this period might lead to the loss of your extensions, necessitating a new full set. The durability of the extensions can be compromised by various factors, including exposure to humidity, steam, or frequent touching of your eyes, leading to a quicker fallout. The time required for a refill session ranges from 45 to 60 minutes, contingent upon the condition of your existing lashes. A clear indicator that it's time for a refill is when approximately 50% to 60% of your extensions have shed.
Yes, you can apply mascara, but it must be water-based only. Avoid using oil-based or waterproof mascaras at all costs. Waterproof and oil-based mascaras can break down the adhesive used for your extensions, leading to premature fallout. Additionally, ensure that all eye makeup is thoroughly removed. For this purpose, opt exclusively for water-based makeup removers
Certainly. The adhesive employed for your lash extensions is waterproof, enabling you to engage in activities such as showering, swimming, and exercising without concern. However, it is advised that you refrain from washing the eye area for at least 24 hours following the application of your eyelash extensions. This precaution ensures that the adhesive has ample time to fully set, thereby extending the lifespan of your extensions.
