The most important part is to come with no eye makeup on, make sure lashes are squeaky clean and no caffeine before appointment ( As caffeine makes are eyes twitch and harder to isolate applying extensions.) The reason to come with squeaky clean lashes, is throughout the day we sweat, lotions and other oils stay in our lash line. Not removing these from our natural lashes will possibly give you poor retention, resulting in lash extensions popping off. I always wash clients lashes before we start with a lash shampoo, to make sure they squeaky clean.

If Lash Extensions are applied correctly (proper technique such as the correct weight and length to compliment your natural lashes), clients are following the proper aftercare instructions, and your not pulling or tugging on your extensions; then lash extensions are not damaging at all! If you have sensitives/allergies to lash extensions a great alternative would be a ‘Lash Lift/Tint” which you can find on page as well.

Our natural lashes have a natural shed cycle typically we can loose 2-5 natural lashes per day, and are lashes follow a three-phase growth cycle Anagen, Catagen & Telogen. The average person has anywhere from 150-200 lashes on each lid, with this being said if we are loosing 2-5 natural lashes I recommend getting a fill every 2-3 weeks (As I require 25% to be left on for fill pricing.) However if you are prone to being oily, using oily products (which I recommend getting all products for your face being oil-free as lashes are an investment) environment’s such as pools, saunas, hot tubs, exercising often, hormone changes and different kinds of medication can cause pre-mature lash fall out. As well as weather changes.

Yes you can get your lashes wet after 5 mins of application being done if you like, with new research and my fast curing glue no more waiting 24 hrs. (Great for those who have sensitives to lash adhesive, it removes the vapors immediately on your lash line from the adhesive). When you get them wet avoid brushing them when they are soaking wet, used a dry cloth and dab gently downwards with the lashes (no rubbing or tugging while doing so!) Avoid Hot tubs, Saunas, Steam rooms, Hot Yoga, Exercising and Tanning beds for the remainder of the day just to be safe.

After that just make sure to cleanse you lashes with oil-free cleanser (I sell the Feather Light Lash 100% Organic Foamy Cleanser) to remove any oils that may happen during.

Lash Extensions love to be squeaky clean, you will find you will have better retention from cleansing everyday. Some clients think by not touching them and never washing them will make them last longer, this is the complete opposite. Your lashes will fall out pre-maturely from oil, sweat, sleep and then can cause allergies/reactions. If your prone to being oily I would recommend washing twice a day or each time you get sweaty/oily . I always show my clients how to properly cleanse after a new lash appointment and have a “How to” video on my Facebook/Instagram page on how to cleanse your lashes properly.

I do not recommend wearing mascara with Lash Extensions as this is why we are putting lashes on you in the first place so you don’t have to. Mascara on lashes will build up in your lash line which means harder to clean and less filling more cleaning for the lash tech. Also most mascara has oil in it, so in turn breaking the bond and your lash extensions are now popping off. You can wear mascara on your bottom lashes, however my biggest thing wearing mascara on your bottom lashes is make sure you are removing all of it before you go to bed to avoid build up in the lash line.

Classic lashes is a 1-1 application, so for example one lash extension is applied to one natural lash, giving classic lashes a nice full mascara look. Where volume lashes are 2-5D fans (I make my own fans) so creating a fuller/fluffier look. Hybrid Lashes are a mix of classic and volume lashes, meaning you get the best of both (thicker look from classic and full/fluffy from volume.)

Volume lashes are a fan between 2-5D, Volume Plus are volume lashes that are lighter in weight then regular volume lashes which means we can safely (with no added extra weight) put a fan of 6-12D giving a very dramatic look. Volume and Volume Plus lashes are great for brides as it will stand out nicely in pictures.

Before we even start your lash appointment I do a little consultation to get to know you and your lashes on what you prefer and what lashes will work best for your own. We discuss curls, styles we can do (Cat eye, Doll eye, Blended, & Strip Lash Look the list simply goes on!) If your new to lash extensions and have never had them before, I always say to start out classic or hybrid.

The strip lash look gives the illusion of a “strip lash” giving it a textured look, using different lengths and curls throughout the set. Can be dramatic or subtle.

Wet look lashes are created essentially from using lighter lashes to create narrow, pretty much closed volume fans, which are applied to individual lashes to achieve the desired effect.

The light, fluttery feel of classic lashes with a spikey, textured volume look.

Sleeping on your back is recommended, however if you simply just cannot get this down, sleeping on your side with a silk pillowcase will help the lashes not snagging to your pillow. If sleeping on your side, you will find you will loose more lashes on the side you sleep on.

For the longevity of your extensions it is recommended that:

- Washing your lash extensions everyday with a formulated foamy lash cleanser.

- Sleeping on your back or if your a side sleeper to sleep with eyemask on.

- No products that contain oil for face products. Including makeup that contains oil.

- Brushing morning & night with lash comb.

- No rubbing, pulling, or picking your lash extensions.

- Pat dry wit lint free towel after getting them wet & brush them.

- Keep up with regular fills every 2-3 weeks.
