Before My Appointment
-
Shower prior to your appointment
Shower before your appointment. Avoid contact with water or steam for the first 48 hours to allow the bond between the semi-permanent lashes and your natural lashes to set properly.
-
Avoid Caffeine or Stimulants
Caffeine and stimulants may put you in an agitated state, preventing you from becoming still and relaxed during your appointment. Refrain from consuming caffeine and stimulants before your appointment.
-
Remove All Eye Makeup
Avoid wearing eye makeup to your eyelash appointment. Remove mascara, eyeliner, and other eye makeup before- hand. Although the lash stylist will have eye cleanser on hand, removing eye makeup can be time-consuming and take away from your lash extension application time. Also, avoid curling your lashes ─come with your lashes in their natural state.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Difference Between Classic Lashes and Volume Lashes?
Classic Lashes:
Classic lashes provide a more natural look, where a single extension (0.15mm or 0.20mm) is applied to each natural lash. A full set typically includes around 90 to 120 extensions, depending on the client’s natural lashes.
Volume Lashes:
Volume lashes are designed for a fuller appearance. They involve applying multiple lightweight extensions (0.07mm or 0.10mm) to each natural lash, often referred to as 3D, 4D, 5D, or 6D, based on the number of extensions used. A full set usually contains 200 to 300 extensions, again depending on the client’s natural lashes.
Are volume lashes heavy?
Yes, volume lashes can feel heavier than classic lashes. If you notice any weight on your natural lashes, it’s a normal aspect of the volume set.
Are volume lashes heavy?
The longevity of your lash extensions depends on how well you care for them.
Why are my lashes falling out a week after my appointment?
It's normal for some extensions to fall out as they are dependent on your natural lashes. Dr. Ellen Marmur notes that losing 1 to 4 eyelashes per day is typical, though individual experiences may vary.
I've had lashes for years, but they never fell out this quickly!
Extensions can fall out for various reasons, including aggressive rubbing, the use of irritating products, or stress. Don’t worry; in most cases, your natural lashes will regrow.
Do lash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly, lash extensions are safe and do not harm your natural lashes. However, avoid rubbing or tugging on the extensions, as this can lead to lash loss or damage.
