Not only do we love having eyelash extensions ourselves, but you can rest assured that with a few pro tips, you’ll be enjoying your new lashes in no time.
FAQ
Common types of lash extensions: Lash extensions come in three major types: synthetic, mink, and silk. There are multiple options depending on your preference for length, diameter, size and curl.
How often you’ll need to go back for refills: Upkeep is pretty minimal for extensions that can completely eliminate your need for mascara! Your eyelashes won’t fall off until the natural life cycle of that single eyelash is finished. Because each extension is applied individually, losing a lash won’t be like ripping off a sheet of falsies. You can expect to go back about once every three to four weeks.
Completely safe for your natural eyelashes: Eyelash extensions will not ruin your natural lashes! Although you might have an individual allergy to certain types of eyelash glue, there are plenty of options if you’re worried.
Relax—you won’t go blind: All eyelash extensions are performed while your eyes are closed, eliminating the possibility of glue getting into your eyes. Plus, all certified lash technicians know to stop the application process at any sign of tears or irritation.
Rules for showers and swimming: Do your best to keep water away from your eyes for the first 24 to 48 hours after application, but after that, you’re free to resume your regular activities.
You can still wear mascara: One reason our clients love lash extensions is because they can eliminate the need for mascara—but you can still wear it. We recommend applying at the tips only. Applying mascara at the base of eyelash extensions can make for a clumpy look.
