The most amazing transformation you’ll ever see!
Your natural lashes have a lifespan of 60 - 90 days. The eyelash extension is placed on the natural lash so when your natural lash falls out, so does the extension. A new natural lash grows in that spot and when you notice too many gaps or that your desired fullness is declining, simply schedule a touch up appointment to have eyelash extensions put on your new natural lashes.
Eyelash extensions are applied using a black, odorless adhesive that has met the requirements set out for eyelash adhesives. The adhesive never touches your skin. It only touches the natural eyelash and the eyelash extension.
Fullness:
There are many different looks that can be achieved by using eyelash extensions. This will be discussed prior to your appointment so please have a general idea of what you want to achieve using eyelash extensions.
Full: If you are looking to just enhance your look slightly, this is the fullness for you.
Bold: If you are looking for a more expressive and distinct new look.
Dramatic: If you want a striking and vivid, mascara like look.

What are Eyelash
Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are made of a synthetic material and are attached
individually using an approved adhesive. Once applied, these lashes are so
natural looking it is difficult to tell, even up close, if you have extensions
on. The results are a natural, beautiful look. They are perfect for special
occasions or for everyday wear.
Are Eyelash Extensions safe?
Yes, many clients have been wearing extensions for a number of years without causing
any harm to their natural lashes. Some have even seen an improvement in the
fullness and length of their natural lashes. It is a pain-free and relaxing
process.
How long will the Extensions last?
Your natural lash cycle is between 60 and 90 days. If the extensions are
applied correctly, they will last for the whole cycle. This may differ person
to person based on their daily activities and extension care. Touch ups are
required every 2-4 weeks due to each natural lash being on it's own natural
growth cycle.
How long is the procedure?
The application can take anywhere from an hour and a half to two and a half
hours. It depends on factors such as your natural eyelash thickness and the look
you are going for. When you arrive you simply lie down on a comfortable table,
close your eyes, and relax while listening to music. You won't even be able to
feel the eyelashes being applied.
How do I know what kind of look I want?
There are a lot of different lengths and thickness for the eyelash extensions.
A consultation will occur first where you will specify what type of
professional lifestyle you lead, how much makeup you normally wear, what your
skin tone and hair color are and what size your natural lashes are. Each look
is made specifically for you and the end result is very natural looking.
What causes the Extensions to fall off?
Your natural lash cycle is the main reason for extensions to fall off, however,
there are other reasons as well. Wear and tear due to rubbing, sleep, eye
makeup, touching, oil based cleansers, excessive steam, mascara, and washing
your face are also causes for extension shedding off. Also, any creams, eye makeup removers, lotions or cleansers
containing glycols or carbonates can loosen the bond of extensions. Care must be taken to apply eye cream
sparingly with avoidance of the lash line area.
What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?
Your extensions should look natural and real if applied correctly. They should
be as full as the look you are going for. No one will even be able to tell that
you are wearing extensions. It should only look like you have natural long
lashes and are wearing good mascara.
When do I need to get a re-fill?
Because each of your lashes are in a different stage in their life cycle, you
should come in for a touch up every 2-4 weeks. The more regularly you come in for
your touch ups, the less extensions you should need refilled. At that time,
about 50 percent of your extensions should still be attached. If you wait too
long, you may need to get a full set again.
Can I wear Mascara with my Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, you can wear a water-based mascara (NO WATERPROOF). However, this will
make taking your make up off more rough and will cause the bonding agent in the
adhesive to loosen allowing your extensions to come off sooner. You really
don't even need to wear mascara, as your extensions will give you the same bold
look that mascara can. You will see when you are done with your appointment how
great they truly look.
Can I use Eyelash Curlers?
No, there is no need to use an eyelash curler. The extensions are pre-curled and
will stay that way for their individual lifetime. An eyelash curler will damage
the extensions and may even break your natural lashes.
Can I shower, exercise, or swim while wearing the Eyelash Extensions?
Yes! The bonding agent in the adhesive is waterproof so it allows you to
shower, swim and exercise as you normally would. It is recommended that you do
not let the shower stream of water run directly on your extensions.
Slight Special Care is needed for Eyelash Extensions, however, the overall
maintenance is relatively low.
