What are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions are individual strands of synthetic fibers made to replicate a natural eyelash. When applied, eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken your own natural eyelashes. The single strands are applied to each individual eyelash, one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural.

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions last? 

When applied by a professional, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your own eyelashes. Depending on your lifestyle & skin type, refills should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks to keep them looking full.

Are they safe? 

I only use professional grade adhesive which never comes in contact with your skin. Synthetic eyelashes adhere about 1mm away from your skin. In some cases, people do have allergies and have to remove the extensions. I will gladly do a patch test if you are worried you may have any sensitivities.

How do I take care of my new eyelash extensions? 

Please see my Lash After Care tab for detailed instructions.

Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions? 

No! Eyelash extensions are designed to give your natural lashes an improved look of fullness so mascara is not needed. 

Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe? 

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. Some clients consider the process relaxing and even sleep through the appointment.

How long will it take to apply eyelash extensions and how is it done? 

The application process for lash extensions normally takes about 60-120 minutes for a full set of lashes and 45-60 minutes for a refill. You will lay comfortably on a massage table with your eyes closed while relaxing music is played in the background. During application, your lower lashes will be covered and the extensions will be applied only to your upper lashes one at a time. 

How do I choose the look I want? 

I will consult with you to understand what type of style you are interested in and what look will work best with your natural lashes. The overall look of the lashes can range from very natural to very voluminous!

Do I have to do anything to prepare for the service? 

Please come to your appointment with NO makeup on. Be prepared to lay down with your eyes closed for a long period of time. Try to avoid drinking caffeine before, because this causes your eyelids to twitch. Feel free to bring headphones!

What happens if I choose to have my eyelash extensions removed?

I do offer a service to have the extensions removed involving a short thirty-minute appointment in which I 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.
