This latest beauty revolution involves the careful application of individual lash hairs to each of your natural lashes, thus allowing your eyelashes to look naturally thick, voluminous and fuller!  This procedure should only be completed by technicians who have extensive experience in applying lash extensions to your eyes.

• Your eyes must be free of any signs or symptoms of infection;
• Your eyes have fully recovered from recent eye surgeries or procedures;
• You are comfortable lying on your back for a few hours;
• If you are pregnant and/or have medical conditions, in recovery from treatments, taking
  medications or have allergies: you have consulted your physician and have written approval to have eyelash extensions applied.

Considering the above items, if you do any of the following you are likely NOT a candidate for eyelash extensions

• If you rub their eyes frequently – either from allergies or out of habit;
• If you have highly sensitive skin – while we do carry a low-allergen adhesive, this service may cause more
  reactions in certain candidates;
• If you are ill or currently have allergies. Please call to reschedule your appointment for a time when you are feeling better.
• If your natural lashes are very curly. Extensions may lay in an unnatural direction when the natural lash begins to grow. Having very curly lashes will exacerbate irritation and your extensions will not last long.
• If your natural eye shape is too deep inset or if your cheekbones are too high. When performing my service, I must place an eye pad over your lower lashes. If the eye pad rides too high, the procedure will be very uncomfortable for you. I have a few tricks – if I can manage to get the upper and lower lashes separated, I’ll certainly apply your extensions.
• If you don’t have natural eyelashes. Extensions are placed on one natural lash at a time; and I need your natural lashes to be healthy and strong enough to support an extension. Unlike using other lash processes such as a strip or flares, we cannot create lashes where there aren’t any.
• If you have an allergy to cyanoacrylate. Cyanoacrylate is the base of acrylic nail glue. Eyelash adhesive’s main ingredient is cyanoacrylate. How would you know if you had an allergy to cyanoacrylate? If you had an allergy to wearing acrylic nails or tips, you probably are allergic to cyanoacrylate.

Unfortunately, no! Lash extensions are placed on one natural lash at a time; and we need a minimum length of your natural lash to adhere the extension to. Your natural lashes must be strong and healthy enough to support an extension. Unlike using other lash processes such as a strip or flares, I cannot create lashes where there aren’t any.

*If you have any medical concerns please consult a health care professional to ensure that you would be an eligible candidate to partake in this procedure, as this can vary client-to-client, and cannot be determined by your Lash Technician.

How long they last depends on how well their cared for at home. This includes eye-make-up choices, cleansers, exposure, daily routine, age and genes. An individual eyelash hair’s life cycle is approximately 144-166 days before it sheds. Normally we loose 3-5 lashes per day. Most clients return after 2-3 weeks because they love a consistent, full lash line. Understanding our bodies are constantly regenerating and growing; each extension is placed on an individual natural eyelash hair to allow for this process to continue, without feeling pain or irritation.

If you decided not to return for a touch-up appointment, my adhesive would last approximately 5-7 weeks. (This is NOT advisable).

1-2 weeks after your touch-up appointment you will notice shedding. You will experience more shedding on the side you sleep on. You may also loose lashes towards the corner of your eye nearest to the bridge of your nose. There may be 3-5 individual hairs which have experienced a growth spurt and appear ¼” away from the lash line.

2-3 weeks after your touch-up appointment: More shedding on the outer and inner corners and thinning in the middle of the lash line where more lashes have shed. As your natural lashes grow out of the follicle, they naturally twist and turn. There may be an increased number of lashes, which had a growth spurt.

3-4 weeks after your touch-up appointment: Same as above, with larger “chunks” of lashes shedding from the middle and more lashes having grown out.

After 4 weeks it will no longer be considered a fill-in, please schedule an appointment for a full set!

To ensure the longevity of your brand new, sexy eyelash extensions, be sure to follow these useful instructions:

• Refrain from perming/tinting your eyelashes or extensions before or after the extension application
• Brush your lashes regularly using an appropriate eyelash brush
• Refrain from getting your lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours
• Refrain from using an eyelash curler to  your extensions
• Refrain from rubbing your eyes or lashes when washing your face.  Clean around your eyes with a wash cloth
• Refrain from pulling your lash extensions, as this will result in you removing your natural lashes as well!
• Refrain from activities involving excessive heat such as sitting in a sauna or performing hot yoga
• Refrain from using mascara – especially those which indicate “waterproof”
• Do not try to remove the extensions on your own!  If you have any issues, please come back to us if you need them removed
• Do no attempt to cut the extensions, as you may cut your own lashes in doing so!
• Ensure that when you clean your eye makeup, do so without touching the extensions. Click here to get INSTRUCTIONS on how to clean your Eyelash Extensions!
• Don’t forget to come in for touchups and refills!

The great news is that when applied correctly, eyelash extensions are not intended to damage your natural lashes.  Furthermore, we use a specialized lash adhesive which is formulated to be used specifically on human lash hair.  The adhesive is fast-drying and forms a soft matrix, which allows your eyelash extensions to maintain the flexibility and fluffiness of natural looking lashes!
