EYELash extensions FAQ
What are eyelash extensions + what do they do?
Who doesn’t dream of waking up with flawless lashes Or Never having to wear mascara/eyeliner again? That's right! Get ready to shorten your morning routine! Our certified, licensed, and trained artist will apply a lash extension to each of your natural lashes. The technique will enhance the length, fullness, and/or thickness of your lashes. Eyelash extension's are a synthetic material that look and feel hair like. They are attached to your natural eyelashes individually, not to the skin. Once applied, these lashes are so natural looking it is difficult to tell even up close that you have extensions on. Size availability ranges from short to long. There are also different curls and thicknesses to choose from, your artist will discuss these things with you and choose the best option per your natural lashes and your goal.

What if they get wet?
your lash artist will provide you with aftercare information at your appointment, however As long as you wait 24 hours after your appointment you are fine. We recommend you wash them daily. however, be careful to not let salt water or chlorinated water set on your lashes too long; this can cause premature lash loss.
How long will they last?
Fills are recommended every 2-3 weeks. We naturally shed 2-5+ lashes per day. There are many factors that affect the growth and strength of all hair including but not limited to genetics, cleansing products, seasonal changes, athletic activities, cosmetics as well as certain health conditions. With proper application, home care, products, and regular lash fill appointments you will prolong the life of your extensions, and can realistically get 3 weeks without a fill.
Will they damage my natural lashes?
there is absolutely NO reason that lash extensions should damage your natural lashes if they have been done correctly. We do however want to also remind clients that following the aftercare instructions are VERY important, which is why we give them to you. If you tug, pull, or rub your lashes you can damage them, just as you would damage your own. Please follow your aftercare instructions and make sure you always go to a CERTIFIED salon to have any lash or beautification services done. Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own, seek professional help from your technician. WE WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU MAY CAUSE BY TRYING TO REMOVE THE EYELASH EXTENSIONS ON YOUR OWN, OR FOR NON COMPLIANCE OF AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
