What
Are Eyelash Extensions?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
- 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?
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?
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?
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 LASH
OUT! four different lash sets ranging from basic to glamour. Please
