Frequently Asked Questions

 

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions are lightweight, synthetic mink eyelashes that come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and curl styles. They are expertly bonded individually on a ‘lash by lash’ basis to your own natural lashes giving you longer, thicker, more lavish looking lashes. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for those tired of mascara, who want thicker longer lashes with little to no fuss required.

What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?

Properly applied Eyelash Extensions will look and feel completely natural, although definitely more full and glamorous than natural lashes.

What does it feel like and how long does it take to apply Eyelash Extensions?

It takes approximately 2 hours to apply a complete set of Eyelash Extensions, with slight time variance depending on the amount of natural lashes you have. You will be reclining with your eyes closed, while getting an under eye collagen treatment at the same time. Re-fill treatments take approximately 1 hour. As a certified lash technician I will examine your natural lashes and tailor eyelash extensions to suit your lashes. The treatment process ensures the finishing result is weightless, clump-free, long & beautiful lashes with your natural lashes remaining in good condition.

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions last?

Properly applied and maintained Eyelash Extensions will last 4 – 6 weeks, however regular refills treatments every 3 – 4 weeks are necessary because your Eyelash Extensions will gradually diminish in number due to the natural shedding and replenishing cycle of your own eyelashes. It’s common for your own natural lashes to shed at a rate of 6-10 per week. This will create gaps, which then need filling in. Eyelash Extensions have similar maintenance to acrylic nails, everyone is different with how many weeks between appointments they need depending on lifestyle, aftercare, lash cycle & time demands.

My eyes are very sensitive; can I still have Eyelash Extensions?

Yes. As the Eyelash Extensions do not touch the skin in anyway the chance of an allergic reaction is reduced dramatically. Also, the glue used has no fumes and quick drying time and is approved by Health Canada ensuring you do not experience discomfort during the procedure.

Aftercare

IMPORTANT!

For the first 24 hours do not wet your lashes. Avoid hot showers, saunas, hot yoga, tanning beds, and excessive heat.

Do’s

  • Brush your lashes daily with the lash brush provided after your appointment.

  • Keep your lashes dry as much as you can, the less water the better, but clean regularly to avoid particle build up.

  • To remove eye makeup, use a soft cloth or cotton swabs, being as gentle as possible

Do Not’s

  • Do Not use water based mascara. If needed, use normal mascara and concentrate more on the tips rather than the base of the lashes

  • DO Not use makeup wipes, or oil based eye creams

  • Do Not use eyelash curlers as these will break the extensions as well as your natural lashes

  • Do Not tint or perm your lashes

  • Do Not rub, pick or pull at your lashes as this will shorten the lifespan of your extensions

  • Do Not attempt to remove the extensions yourself, have them removed professionally to ensure your natural lashes are not damaged in the process

  • Avoid sleeping on your face
