What Are Eyelash Extensions? TOP
Eyelash Extensions are a popular new service and product that lengthens and
thickens your own natural eyelashes. Lash Extensions are single strands of
synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are
applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a natural, beautiful
and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for
day to day wear.
What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied? TOP
With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural
lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. Noone will know
you have extensions. They will just think you were born with beautiful, long
lashes!
How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions Last? TOP
When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural
growth cycle of your eyelashes. Everyone's experience will differ based on day
to day activities but over all touchups should only be required every 2 to 3
weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any
fumes or irritants and is long lasting.
How often should I get touch-ups? TOP
We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your
eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural
eyelashes fall off every 45 - 60 days due to the natural growth cycle and are
naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as
expsoure to steam or touching your eyes alot may cause the extensions to fall
sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that fallen. Touch ups
average about 45 minutes.
Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions? TOP
Yes, even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually
give the illusion of wearing mascara it can be worn.. It must however only be water based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF
MASCARA. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the
bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to
fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a
water based eye makeup remover.
Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions? TOP
Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim,
exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do
recommend however that you do not wash your eye area for about 12- 24 hours
after the eyelash application.
Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions? TOP
We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions
as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural
lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required
we recommend using a heated eyelash curler.
How do I take care of my new Eyelash Extensions? TOP
- Do not get lashes wet for12- 24 hours
- Avoid hot steam or sauna
- Avoid running water directly on your lashes
- Do not rub your eyes
- Only use water based mascara (optional)
- If applying mascara do so from middle to tip, avoid root area
- Use water based eye makeup remover
- Do not perm your lashes
- Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
- Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely)
- DO LIE and say they are yours:)
Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe? TOP
Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash
extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin.
The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep
during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash
technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. We recommend only using a
Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist.
How long will it take to Apply Eyelash Extensions and how is it done? TOP
The application process for lash extensions normally takes anywhere from 45 min.
- 1.5 hours with someone who is experienced doing these. If you go to a newly
certified professional it may take up to 3 hours. You will lay comfortably on a
massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will
then apply an under eye gel pad to cover your lower lashes . Then the extensions
will be applied to each individual eyelash on a hair by hair basis.
How do I choose the look I want? TOP
Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. We normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to size. Each person's lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The overall look of the lashes is very natural. There are also available though LeLash Couture four different lash sets ranging from basic to glamour.
