FAQ
-
How long do eyelash extensions last?Eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your own eyelashes. Depending on your activity and day-to-day routine, refills should only be required every 2 to 4 weeks.
-
Are lash extensions safe?We only uses professional grade adhesive which never comes in contact with your skin. Synthetic eyelashes adhere about 1mm away from your skin.
-
Can I still apply mascara?Our eyelash extensions are designed to give your natural lashes an improved look of fullness so mascara is not needed.
-
Can I shower, swim or visit the spa while wearing my eyelash extensions?We do ask you to minimize the chance of wetting the extensions for the first 48 hours of wear. After that 48-hour period, the adhesive used to apply your eyelash extensions is secure enough to allow you to get right back to your routine. However, keeping away from extensive contact with steam such as in saunas or certain facials is not recommended since it can begin to loosen the bond.
-
How soon can I wash my face after the lashes are applied?The suggested time frame is 24-48 hours. For a guest with sensitivities, it is suggested to wash within the first 12 hours of application.
-
How do I take care of my new lash extensions?Avoid getting lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours Avoid hot steam or sauna Do not perm eyelashes or manually curl. Brush with a clean mascara wand daily. TIP: Sometimes mornings are a mess! Try washing your lashes with water in the morning and gently brushing the top side of the extensions with a finger placed beneath. If too much tugging is noticed, a quick stop at your local studio may be necessary to help separate these extensions.
-
What happens if I want them removed?We do offer a service to have the extensions removed involving a short thirty-minute appointment in which we apply a gel remover. The gel remover is applied on top of the extensions without touching the skin and allowed to sit for 10 minutes. Once the adhesive is dissolved the extensions are gently wiped away with lint free applicators exposing the natural lashes.
-
How do I prepare for the service?To remove any eye makeup, use an oil-free makeup remover to cleanse your lashes prior to the appointment as well to remove any leftover mascara. Lashes should not be permed or manually curled at the time of appointment. Please do not drink any caffeine as your eyelids will not be still enough for the service.
-
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?Good quality eyelash extensions require time and precision. There are instances that can damage lashes for example, if the extensions are attached to more than one natural lash they will cause whichever lash that grows faster to pull out the other lash or lashes. Breakage can also occur if the weight or length of the extensions exceeds what the natural lashes can handle. If you do have breakage a great solution is a lash serum, that helps your lashes grow faster and stronger. When lashes are correctly applied they cause no damage to your natural lashes.
-
How can I tell if my lashes were applied correctly?Lash extensions should not hurt after they have been applied or as they are growing out, this is a tell tale sign that there are lashes stuck together. Another key element to good extensions is that they are placed close to the base of the lash but not be touching the skin. There should be no clumps or balls of glue on the lashes, you should be able to brush through them easily from base to ends.
-
What should I do if I have an allergic reaction to the adhesive?Primarily take a patch test to check for sensitivity to the adhesive. However if a reaction does occur we have found that taking a Pepcid AC with Benadryl helps reduce swelling, redness and block for further reactions. This however is not a solve all solution, people can still have reactions. Another option is a sensitive glue however your retention will drop dramatically and volume lashes are not possible due to a slow dry time. However, you should have them removed immediately following an allergic reaction and if the condition worsens, see your primary health provider or visit the nearest ER.
-
What is the difference between classic and volume lashes?Classic is one thicker extension to one natural lash. Volume means there are 3–5 fine lashes to one natural lash, which create what we call a fan. There are also hybrid sets that mix the two styles. Hybrid lashes are a mixture of the two for a less dramatic look but still full.
-
I slept on my lashes now they are laying funny what can I do?Wash them, while wet gently brush through them them use your blow dryer on the cold setting to dry them while you continue to brush them upwards and in the correct direction.
-
How do I clean my extensions without losing them?We highly recommend our gentle Lash Cleanser. It is gentle but works miracles! The best way to clean them is to use a fine tipped makeup brush and gently brush it through at the base of your lashes, rinse throughly and then dab dry with a paper towel, they have fewer fibers so they don’t catch lashes and pull them out.
-
What can I do to make my lashes stay longer?The best tip is to stop touching them, the oils in your fingers can break down the adhesive, not to mention that you are probably pulling some off on your own. The less you mess with them the better off you’ll be. Next, follow the proper aftercare instructions. Additionally you can purchase a sealant but use it sparingly. Consider going a length shorter to increase retention.
-
Do I need to take a break from my lashes, if so how often?Every 6 months to a year, a two week break can be beneficial but is not necessary. However if you decide to continue getting lash extensions without taking a break we do recommend using a lash serum to maintain and strengthen the natural lashes.
-
Why am I losing my extensions so fast?This is a hard question to answer because we are always looking for ways to increase retention, but everyone is different. Here are a few possibilities; You are going a lash cycle which is when a majority of your natural lashing are moving from the growth stage to a shedding stage in their natural cycle. Lash sheds are also common in the Spring and Fall. You got them wet in the first 24 hours and the adhesive did not cure completely. Humidity also has an effect on the curing process so maybe the salon wasn’t humid enough/was too humid to adhere properly. You traveled from an area where the humidity was drastically different, say California to Utah. It could be that you have a tendency for oily skin that causes the adhesive to break down (ask your lash artist to double prime with alcohol or saline solution). There are dozens of potential problems and solutions, but please don’t assume that it is your lash artists fault.
-
Why do my lashes flip or lay sideways after a few weeks?Natural eyelashes grow out in a corkscrew motion. Therefore as your natural lashes grow they begin to twist and the attached lash follows suit.
-
How Long After Microshading Can I Wash My Face?You can wash your face the same day, but wait at least 3 hours after the procedure and avoid the brow area. Wash the lower half of your face the way you usually do, and clean the rest with a wet cotton pad, avoiding the brows. From day 3, you can get the brow area wet. In fact, washing is part of the microshading eyebrows aftercare. Still, you mustn’t let harsh chemicals come into contact with your brows. Use a mild antibacterial soap, or baby soap. Once the peeling stage ends, you can wash your face without tiptoeing around your brows. Still, avoid products that contain exfoliants.
-
How Do I Maintain My Microshading Once It’s Healed?Once you get the mandatory microshading touch up 6-8 weeks after your initial session, you’ll go through another healing cycle, but it will be less intense. You’ll have to repeat the microshading aftercare routine, but after that, you’re set for up to 2 years. Since it is semi-permanent, your microshading will start fading after about 9 months, but you don’t have to get it touched up until you feel the need to. Most clients like to get touch ups annually. The pace at which your microshading fades depends on factors like: Your body chemistry Sunlight exposure Frequent exposure to salt or pool water Frequent excessive sweating Smoking Skincare products Some of these you can control, so make sure you do everything in your power to prevent premature fading if you want to make the most of your microshading. Part of this is following the microshading eyebrows aftercare which enables pigments to settle properly. When you notice your brows have faded significantly, book a touch up as soon as possible. The more you wait and the more they fade, the more work the artist will have to do, so they’ll charge more – up to the full price.
-
What If I Mess Up My Microshading?If you don’t touch them, you can’t mess them up. They can be itchy but don’t scratch them. The pigment is injected shallow into the skin and you can pull it out if you pick the scabs. If you happen to do that, contact us. It can probably be corrected at the first touch up. In case of infection (which is unlikely to happen if you are careful), visit a dermatologist. They might prescribe some antibiotics to cure the infection.
-
How long do Henna Brows last?Like anything, results do VARY, however, most of the time you can expect the skin stain to gradually fade over 7-14days and the hair tint 4weeks. As I said though, this is not guaranteed. Sometimes, the henna just doesn’t take well to certain people’s skin. Your lifestyle also plays a big part in the longevity i.e. swimming, excessive sweating, using face products on the eye area etc will all result in your henna brows fading faster than usual.
-
Does Henna last longer than regular tint?For most people, the answer is yes it does. However, for some people it’s the opposite. This is not something we can control nor guarantee. We make every effort to ensure that you do get a great result. Again, the only way to truly find out is to try it for yourself
-
Are Henna Brows permanent?No, it’s not. It is not a tattoo, it is not invasive, it does not hurt. It simply stains the skin and tints the hair.
