1. How to prepare for an eyelash extension appointment?
On the day of your appointment you should avoid drinking coffee and energy drinks like ”red bull”, they may cause twitching of your eyelids and make your eyes to water during the application.
Avoid perming your lashes shortly before your lash appointment.
In case your lashes are very light, you may want to have them tinted first . This can be booked with us but a mandatory patch test is required at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Avoid oil based and instant make up removers, eyelash curlers and waterproof mascara. If you wear contact lenses, you will need to remove them for the time of the application so please bring your glasses with you.
Please remove eye make-up and wash your lashes before each appointment.
2. What to expect during my lash appointment?
When booking your appointment, you have a choice of different sets. They have different fullness and take different time for the application.You can select the set that best fits your expectations.
Your appointment starts with a consultation, you will fill in a consultation form and we will discuss the final lash look you would like to achieve.

3. What type of lashes do we use?
We offer a wide range of eyelash extensions including Synthetic Silk and Mink Lashes. These extensions are lightweight, designed to enhance the natural lashes and are safe with no side effects. The application process involves attaching extensions to each of your individual lashes. It is a pain-free and relaxing procedure.
4. Why you need lash extensions infills?
Natural eyelashes typically have a lifespan of 2 to 3 months, after which they naturally shed. We need to replace fallen out lashes, as the extension attached will also fall out with the natural lash. We recommend to top lashes up every 2.5-3 weeks, the frequency depends on both – the aftercare and eyelash life cycle. To make sure consistently stunning lashes, they should be infilled when there is still 50% of the lashes from the original set left.
5. Are lash extensions safe?
Eyelash extensions, when are properly applied, when the technician separates eyelashes, uses the correct amount of adhesive, and uses lash extensions of appropriate length and thickness, are safe and can be worn for years. Properly executed procedures do not compromise the health of natural lashes.
Lash extensions should be applied to the natural eyelashes only, and not come in contact with the skin, this lowers chances for any allergic reactions. In case of known allergy to lash glue this procedure is contraindicated and not considered safe.
6. Can lash extensions pull out my natural lashes?
When applied correctly lash extensions shouldn’t cause any pulling or discomfort to your natural lashes. You should avoid rubbing or picking at the extensions to prevent any potential impact on your natural lash retention.
7. Do you use different lengths and shapes of lash extensions?
Certainly! We have wide option of different lashes – that includes lengths from 7mm to 15mm and thicknesses from 0.05mm to 0.25mm, lash extension shapes like J, B, C, D, L, and L+. We customise a look that works best for you – because your lashes should be as unique as you are!
8. How long do eyelash extensions last?
After the initial application you will need touch ups – think of eyelash extensions like maintaining acrylic nails. Depending on a few factors, you may need a touch up anywhere from 2.5-3 weeks. Individual set, growth rate etc. influence the timeline. With proper aftercare, avoiding mascara and heavy eye makeup, the extensions can last longer and need fewer infills.
You will be loosing your extensions with your natural lash shed, so for a typical person it is usually around 3 lashes daily. Larger sets will last longer as there will be more natural lashes covered with extensions.
9. Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?
Absolutely, you can still wear makeup as long as it is water based and appropriate for eyelash extensions. Use a glycol-free makeup remover. When removing an eye liner, use a cotton bud for gentle removal. Avoid mascara on your extensions, as it can make removal challenging and reduce the lifespan of your gorgeous eyelash extensions.
10. Can I get my lashes wet?
In the initial 24 hours post-application, keep your eyelashes dry – no water, steam, or spray tans. However, once the glue has set, feel free to get them wet as much as you need. Swimming, any water-related activity, you’re good to go after that first day.
11. Can men wear eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are for everyone! The beauty industry is buzzing with the trend of professional semi-permanent eyelashes for men. We’ll tailor the length and thickness just for you, creating a natural looking set that enhances your eyes without being too obvious. Your good looks will do the talking!
12. Why we don't infill lashes after certain time?
As your natural lashes grow, the extensions attached to them are also on the move. After 4 weeks, even if you’ve got around 50% of your set left, those extensions are hanging at the tips of your natural lashes, gearing up to make their exit as part of the natural lash cycle.
