Frequently Asked Questions

Lash extensions are a cosmetic procedure where individual synthetic or natural lashes are applied to your natural lashes using a specialized adhesive. They enhance the length, thickness, and fullness of your lashes.

Lash extensions typically last for about 2-4 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you take care of them. Regular touch-ups are recommended every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness of the lashes.

When applied correctly by a trained professional, lash extensions are generally safe. However, it's important to ensure that the technician uses high-quality products and follows proper hygiene practices to minimize the risk of any adverse reactions or damage to your natural lashes.

Mascara is not necessary with lash extensions, as they already provide a fuller and more dramatic look. In fact, using mascara can cause clumping and may weaken the adhesive bond. If you still want to use mascara, it's recommended to use a water-based and oil-free formula specifically designed for lash extensions.

Yes, you can swim and shower with lash extensions. However, it's important to avoid excessive exposure to water for the first 24-48 hours after the application to allow the adhesive to fully bond. Additionally, it's recommended to avoid using oil-based products on or near the lashes, as they can weaken the adhesive.

To maintain your lash extensions, it's important to avoid rubbing or pulling on them, as this can cause premature shedding. You should also avoid using oil-based products and makeup removers, as they can break down the adhesive. Instead, use a gentle cleanser and brush your lashes with a spoolie brush to keep them clean and separated.

Yes, you can still wear eye makeup with lash extensions, but it's important to choose oil-free and water-based formulas. Avoid using waterproof or oil-based products, as they can weaken the adhesive and cause the lashes to fall out prematurely. It's also recommended to use a gentle touch when removing your makeup to avoid damaging the extensions.

Lash extensions should not be painful when applied correctly. However, some individuals may experience slight discomfort or irritation during the application process. If you experience any pain or discomfort, it's important to let your technician know immediately so they can make any necessary adjustments.

While lash extensions are generally safe for individuals with sensitive eyes, it's important to inform your technician about any sensitivities or allergies you may have. They can then recommend the best type of lashes and adhesive that are suitable for your needs.

It's not recommended to remove lash extensions yourself, as it can be difficult to do so without causing damage to your natural lashes. It's best to have them professionally removed by a trained technician, who can use a specialized adhesive remover to safely dissolve the adhesive and gently remove the extensions.

The eyelash extension application process can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the number of extensions being applied. It's important to be patient and avoid moving around too much during the application process.

You should get your eyelash extensions filled every two to three weeks to maintain their fullness and length. This is because your natural lashes will shed and grow out, taking the extensions with them.
