HOW TO PREPARE FOR APPLICATION OF INDIVIDUAL EYELASH EXTENSIONS

To ensure proper preparation for the application of individual eyelash extensions, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:

Refrain from consuming caffeinated beverages such as coffee and energy drinks on the day of your appointment. These substances can potentially cause twitching of the upper eyelid and excessive tearing during the application process.

Avoid perming your lashes shortly before your eyelash extension appointment. It is best to allow your lashes to return to their natural state before the procedure.

For individuals with light-coloured lashes, consider tinting them prior to the application of eyelash extensions. However, please note that a mandatory tint patch test is required at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Steer clear of oil-based (instant) makeup removers, eyelash curlers, and waterproof mascara. These products can create difficulties in the application and longevity of the eyelash extensions.

If you wear contact lenses, remember to remove them before the application process. Be sure to bring your glasses along for the duration of your appointment.

Prior to each appointment, it is essential to remove any eye makeup and cleanse your lashes thoroughly.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can better prepare yourself for the application of individual eyelash extensions.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING YOUR LASH EXTENSIONS APPOINTMENT?

The process of applying individual eyelash extensions is carried out with a following manner.

Set Selection: When booking your appointment, you have a choice of different sets, each tailored to provide a specific level of fullness. You are free to select the set that best aligns with your desired lash appearance.

Consultation: Before the application begins, you will be asked to fill out a client consultation form. This enables us to understand your preferences and discuss the final effect you wish to achieve. We value your input in order to deliver results that meet your expectations.

Customization: Based on your preferences, we will select the appropriate colour, curl, thickness, and length of the individual eyelashes. For individuals with blonde hair, we even offer brown lashes to complement their natural appearance.

Information and Assistance: Throughout the application, we are available to address any questions or concerns you may have. We will provide detailed explanations of each step and keep you informed about the process. For the initial application, you will need to lie down with your eyes closed. The duration of the procedure can vary from 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the type of lashes and desired look. Volume sets of eyelash extensions may take even longer.

For touch-up appointments, please allocate 40 minutes to 1 hour. You can refer to the other lash pages for more details. Additionally, we will educate you on proper care and maintenance of your new eyelash extensions at home.

Aftercare: Once the application is complete, you will receive small eyelash extensions brush along with a written set of aftercare instructions. These instructions will guide you in taking proper care of your freshly applied eyelash extensions. If you encounter any queries or issues, feel free to reach out to for further assistance.

Please note that our services extend to various locations within Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, London, and other areas. We strive to provide professional and high-quality beauty treatments for our valued clients.

WHAT KIND OF LASH EXTENSIONS DO YOU USE?

We offer a wide range of eyelash extensions including Synthetic Silk and Synthetic Mink Lashes. These extensions are lightweight, designed to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes 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.

WHY DO I NEED INFILLS?

Natural eyelashes typically have a lifespan of 2 to 3 months, after which they naturally shed, making it challenging to determine the age of extended lashes. Infill procedures are essential to address gaps resulting from the shedding of natural lashes, preventing the loss of attached extensions. Recommended every 3 weeks, the frequency depends on both extension care and individual eyelash life cycles. Optimal infilling occurs when 50% of the initial set remains, ensuring consistently stunning lashes. For detailed information on infill costs and scheduling, please refer to the pricing page.

ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS SAFE?

Eyelash extensions, when administered by a skilled professional, who adheres to safety standards, separates eyelashes properly, uses the correct amount of adhesive, and uses lash extensions of appropriate length and thickness for individual natural lashes, are very 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 allergic reactions to lash glue, or allergies to the adhesives present in eyelash tape (we use tape during the application process), this procedure is contraindicated and not considered safe.

CAN EYELASH EXTENSIONS PULL OUT MY NATURAL LASHES?

When applied with precision, lash extensions shouldn’t cause any pulling or discomfort to your natural lashes. Vigorous rubbing or picking at the extensions should be avoided to prevent any potential impact on your natural lash retention. It’s important to note that natural lashes naturally shed within an 8-12 week cycle, and a well-executed lash extension process respects this cycle without causing undue stress to your own lashes.

DO YOU USE DIFFERENT LENGTHS AND SHAPES OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Certainly! Our array of eyelash extension options includes lengths ranging from 7mm to 15mm and thicknesses from 0.05mm to 0.25mm, lash extension shapes like J, B, C, D, L, and L+. We tailor a customized look that suits you best – because your lashes should be as unique as you are!

HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?

Following the initial application, think of eyelash extensions like maintaining acrylic nails – regular touch-ups are key. The frequency varies individually, typically ranging from 2 to 4 weeks. Factors like lash density, growth rate, and personal preferences influence the timeline. With proper aftercare, including avoiding mascara over extensions and consistent eye makeup removal, the extensions endure longer. Daily lash shedding aligns with natural lash cycles, averaging around 3 lashes per day for most individuals. Larger sets, covering more natural lashes, often yield extended longevity.

CAN I STILL WEAR MAKE-UP WITH LASH EXTENSIONS?

Absolutely, makeup is still on the table! Opt for water-based products suitable for eyelash extensions and use a glycol-free makeup remover to preserve the lash glue. When dealing with eye liner, consider using a cotton bud for gentle removal. However, a word of caution: steer clear of mascara on your extensions, as it can pose removal challenges and potentially reduce the lifespan of your gorgeous eyelash extensions.

CAN I GET MY EYELASH EXTENSIONS WET?

In the initial 24 hours post-application, it’s best to keep your eyelashes dry – no water, steam, or spray tans. However, once that day is behind you, feel free to get them wet as much as you need. Whether it’s swimming, sweating, or any water-related activity, you’re good to go after that first crucial day.

CAN MEN WEAR EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Absolutely, eyelash extensions are for everyone! The beauty industry is buzzing with the trend of professional semi-permanent individual eyelash extensions for men. We’ll tailor the length and thickness just for you, creating a super natural set that enhances your eyes without being too obvious. Your good looks will do the talking!

WHY WE DON'T IN-FILL LASHES AFTER 28 DAYS?

After 28 days, we don’t do lash infills, and here’s why: 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.
