EYELASH EXTENSIONS
WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Eyelash extensions are a weightless, semi-permanent enhancement. Each extension is shaped like a single eyelash. The extensions are available in a variety of widths, lengths, curls and colors. There are two types of extensions: Classic and Volume. With Classic Lashes, each individual fiber is adhered to a single, natural lash.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WEARING EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Eyelash extensions lengthen your natural lashes and create fullness. A number of women with naturally light-colored lashes also choose extensions to darken their existing lashes. Lash extensions create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, thereby creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Another advantage of lash extensions is how much time you can save during your beauty regimen. With lash extensions, mascara is no longer necessary. The added benefit is that they look beautiful morning and night, all day, every day.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE?
It is painless, gentle and relaxing. Many of our clients enjoy soft conversation or drift off to sleep. Whether it is your first visit or time for a lash fill, the procedure will always be the same, with each appointment will taking between 1 to 2.5 hours. You will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed while a single, synthetic lash is applied to each natural lash using medical-grade adhesive.
HOW LONG DO LASH EXTENSIONS LAST?
The look can be maintained indefinitely with regular lash fills. When properly applied, eyelash extensions will remain in place until the natural lash on which it rests falls out. Natural lashes grow in and fall out in cycles (every 60 to 90 days). Do not be alarmed — please note that this is a perfectly normal occurrence, with or without extensions. It is normal to see a natural lash with its root attached to a lash extension when shed. This does not mean you are losing your lashes or that the extensions are damaging them. Lash fills are necessary every two to five weeks in order to maintain your beautiful look.
WILL LASH EXTENSIONS DAMAGE MY NATURAL LASHES?
No. In fact, lash extensions are kinder to your natural lashes because you don’t need to curl them or apply mascara, which can dry out or even break your eyelashes. Lash extensions look and feel completely real. The technique also allows each natural lash to grow on its own cycle, without pain, pulling or pinching.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LASH EXTENSIONS?
You will not need to adjust your normal routine and lifestyle — if anything extensions will make your life easier! Never pull or rub your lashes. Novalash makeup remover pads are reccommended . Do not use a regular eyelash curler on your extensions, as that can damage the extensions. (Besides, you don’t need one!)
CAN I WEAR MASCARA?
One of the main advantages of eyelash extensions is that you really don’t need to wear mascara. However, if you prefer, NOVALASH mascara that is formulated for synthetic lashes may be used. If you choose to wear mascara, only apply mascara to the tips of your lash extensions.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Your new eyelash extensions are fairly maintenance-free. The general rule of eyelash extensions is the less you touch them, the longer they last. The largest enemy of lash extensions is oil, which can come from our fingers or from the products we apply. Avoiding direct contact with oils will help maintain longevity of your lash extensions.
THERE ARE A FEW OTHER GUIDELINES TO KEEP IN MIND:
DON’Ts — please DO NOT:
- Pick or pull at your lashes
- Excessively rub your eyes, as this will pull off the extensions prematurely
- Use a harsh eyelash curler, as this will break the synthetic lashes
- apply mascara to the base of the lashes; only on the lash tips
- Use cotton balls or swabs directly on the extensions, as fibers can get caught in the bond
- Overexpose lashes to steam rooms and/or tanning salons, as they can weaken the bond
DAILY TIPS:
- Brush your lashes daily to create a dramatic, fanned-out look (when brushing, brush from the middle of the lash to the tip)
- When lashes get wet, close your eyes and press lashes with a bath towel or paper towel; this will remove excess water without weakening the bond
- When washing your face, wash around your eyes first; when removing eye makeup, use a lint-free Q-tip and our formulated eye makeup remover
- Use products specially formulated for synthetic eyelash extensions
