Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my lashes?
Eyelash extensions are a fragile beauty treatment. They require very tender care in order for the lashes to last longer and stay in good condition.
Be gentle. Do not rub or pull on your eyelash extensions.
Keep all oil-based products away from the eyes and remember that everything on your face will travel to the eye area.
Oil WILL break down the adhesive and you will have premature lash extension loss. This includes eye shadows, eye creams, and eyeliners.
Your hands can get dirty, and dirt is oily, so you’ll want to keep your fingers off your eyes unless cleansing. I have noticed that touching or pulling on lashes can be a nervous habit for some.
Lash tinting will need to be done 24-48 hours before your lash fill appointments.
No saunas, facials, or swimming within 4–6 hours of application.
Do not stick your head near the oven when baking! It can singe your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting anything in or pulling anything out.
Do not use eyelash curlers.
You should be careful and take specific care with makeup and remover.
Do not use cotton on your lash extensions.
Wash your lashes daily (after the initial 4–6 hours). Apply oil-free makeup remover with your fingers, or a lash brush, rubbing gently down the lashes, and carefully rinse with warm water.
Afterward you can use your hairdryer on the LOW and COOL setting to dry and refluff your lashes.
Do not leave your lashes wet!
IF YOU ARE GOING TO WEAR MASCARA it should be washable and cannot be waterproof. This a big no-no for Hybrid or Volume sets. The mascara will close your fans and make them clumpy.
Brush your lashes daily.
5 keys to remember
Aggressive behavior towards the lashes will cause the lash extensions to come off.
Keep lashes dry for 4-6 hours after application. If you wear eye shadows and liners, you will need to keep it on or re-apply over it.
Keep oil off of your lashes, including oils from your fingers.
If you wash them, you will wear them longer. Be sure to cleanse daily to remove oils.
Brushing solves most problems. Try brushing the lashes gently if you notice something is amiss.
What is a lash fill?
We lose 2–5 lashes per day, so as time goes on you need to come in to have lashes placed on the new lashes that have grown in every 2 to 3 weeks.
When you come in for a fill, I gently remove lashes that have grown out and replace with a new lash to give you that fresh, more uniformed look again. Then I also place a lash on the new lashes that have grown in.
A fill can take anywhere from an 1–2 hours depending on how you have cared for the lashes and the time elapsed since your last fill.
