2. How long do eyelash extensions last?

A full set generally requires refills every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a fresh and full. It’s important to note that aftercare plays a significant role in how long your lashes last. Proper maintenance will help extend the life of your extensions.
3. Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly and properly maintained, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions to avoid putting stress on your natural lashes. Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling at the extensions.
4. Can I wear makeup with eyelash extensions?
Yes, but it’s important to avoid oil-based makeup and removers, as they can break down the adhesive. Mascara is usually not necessary, as your lashes will already look full. However, you can use non-oil-based makeup removers and light, gentle makeup if needed.
5. How do I take care of my eyelash extensions?
- Avoid getting them wet for the first 24 hours
- Clean your lashes regularly using a lash-shampoo to remove makeup and debris.
- Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes, as this can cause them to fall out prematurely.
- Be mindful of oils: Avoid oil-based products.
6. Can I get eyelash extensions if I have sensitive eyes?
- Many people with sensitive eyes can safely wear eyelash extensions, but it's always best to inform your lash artist beforehand. To ensure you're not allergic to the adhesive, we may recommend performing a patch test before your full application.
7. How long does the application process take?
- A full set of usually takes 2 to 2.5 hours to apply, depending on the style and volume you choose. For refills, it typically takes 1 to 1.5 hour. During the application, you’ll need to lay down with your eyes closed and remain still. This is important for accuracy and ensures the extensions are applied properly. We recommend coming in with a relaxed mindset—it’s your time to unwind while we create your beautiful lash look!
8. Can I shower, swim, or exercise with eyelash extensions?
- Yes, but avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours to ensure the adhesive bonds correctly. Keep in mind that heavy sweating or prolonged water exposure can shorten the lifespan of your extensions and cause the adhesive to break down more quickly.
9. What’s the difference between classic, volume, mega volume, and wispy lashes?
- Classic Lashes: A single extension applied to each natural lash for a natural, fuller look.
- Volume Lashes: Multiple lightweight extensions (2-7) applied to each natural lash, creating a fluffy, voluminous effect.
- Mega Volume Lashes: Even more extensions (up to 10) applied to each natural lash for a dramatic, full-bodied look.
- Wispy Lashes: A mix of varying lengths and curl patterns applied to create a soft, feathery, and textured look that mimics the natural variation of lashes for a more delicate, wispy appearance.
Each type offers a different style, so you can choose based on your desired look, whether you want something natural, bold, or somewhere in between!
10. Can I get eyelash extensions if I have short or sparse natural lashes?
- Yes, but the health of your natural lashes is key. Healthy lashes are essential for safely applying extensions without causing damage. If your natural lashes are weak or damaged, we may recommend a gentler approach to avoid stress on them.
For short or sparse lashes, a volume or hybrid set works well, as these styles use multiple lightweight extensions to add fullness without overwhelming your natural lashes. Your lash artist will assess the condition of your lashes and suggest the best option to ensure both a beautiful result and lash health.
11. Can I still wear contacts with eyelash extensions?
- Yes, you can wear contacts. However, it’s a good idea to remove them before getting the extensions applied to avoid any irritation or discomfort during the application process.
