QUESTIONS FRÉQUEMMENT POSÉES
-
What Are Eyelash Extensions?Eyelash Extensions are a popular new service and product that lengthens and thickens your own natural eyelashes. Lash Extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a natural, beautiful and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for day to day wear.
-
What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. No one will know you have extensions. They will just think you were born with beautiful, long lashes!
-
How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions Last?When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes. Everyone's experience will differ based on day to day activities but overall touchups should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any fumes or irritants and is long lasting.
-
How often should I get touch-ups?We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural eyelashes fall off every 45 - 60 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that fallen. Touch ups average about 60 minutes.
-
What kind of eye makeup remover should I use?Only use water based makeup remover (non oil) to avoid premature lash extension shedding. This is extremely important to extend the longevity of your lash extensions.
-
Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions?Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We recommend waiting 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application to wet your lashes.
-
Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions?We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes.
-
Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe?Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. We recommend only using an esthetician that is certified as an eyelash extension specialist with a lot of experience.
-
How long will it take to apply Eyelash Extensions and how is it done?The application process for lash extensions normally takes anywhere from 1 - 2 hours depending on the style of lashes you desire. You will lay comfortably on a massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will then apply an under eye gel pad and tape to cover your lower lashes. Then the extensions will be applied to each individual eyelash on a hair by hair basis for classics
-
How do I choose the look I want?Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. We normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to length and thickness. Each person's lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The overall look of the lashes is customized to your individual taste ranging from natural to glam.

How long do lash lifts last?6-8 weeks
-
Whats the difference between a lash lift and eyelash extensions?A lash lift lifts your natural lashes making them curl up which makes them look longer and thicker. Eyelash extensions make the lashes look fuller, thicker, curlier and longer. Lash lifts show up the most on people with straight and longer lashes.
-
Is there maintenance involved with Lash Lifts?None, and best of all you can still wear mascara. sweat, swim, steam, sauna, hot tub, etc.
-
Is there damage to my natural lashes?None, our lash lifts last as long as your natural eyelash cycle and they gently drop as your own eyelashes naturally shed, thus causing no damage to your natural lashes.
-
Can I wear mascara with the Lash lift?Absolutely. However most people choose not to wear mascara as they feel the effect of the Lash Lift is enough.
-
What are the benefits of a lash lift keratin treatment?As you may have guessed, a regular lash lift does not use keratin. Instead, chemicals similar to those used during a perm are used for a regular Lash Lift. As we know, damage can be caused when we put chemicals in our hair and on our skin. A regular lash lift can result in dry, unhealthy lashes similiar to hair overprocessing. A lash lift with a keratin treatment causes no harm. In fact, keratin is a beneficial protein for our hair and skin leaving your lashes strong and healthy. This way you can continue getting lash lifts over and over.
-
What is Brow Lamination?Brow lamination involves straightening and lifting the hairs using a chemical solution, which allows the hairs to move into your desired shape, therefore covering any gaps or stray areas. Eyebrow lamination can be adjusted to personal preference, we can create a full and fluffy brow or a sleek and straight brushed up look, depending on what the client wants.
-
How is a brow lamination done?The process is simple and pretty straight forward and actually resembles that employed in salons for a perm. Initially, the brow specialist will treat your eyebrows with a lifting cream that helps separate the individual hairs and make them more malleable and styleable. Later, the brow specialist will begin to put the eyebrows into place by brushing them upward and perhaps trimming a few hairs. They will then be “set” in place using what is called a neutralizer. The last stage of the brow lamination process involves a nourishing, moisture-replenishing keratin treatment that keeps your eyebrows from becoming brittle and helps maintain the overall shape of the manicured eyebrow.
-
How to prepare for a brow lamination?If you take any kind of acne medication for your skin such as retinol and over-the-counter medicines then you should refrain from doing that for at least 48 hours before your brow lamination appointment. You should also arrive at your appointment without any makeup or other product on your skin. The reason for this is that you don’t want the process to dry out your eyebrows which can occur if your skin was treated with these products.
-
How long does brow lamination last?If you follow proper care guidelines and avoid activities or substances that can damage the integrity of the treatment, you’re looking at anywhere from 6-8 weeks per treatment.
-
What do laminated brows look like?Laminated eyebrows look straighter, thicker, and fluffier all at the same time, and are customizable depending on your natural brow shape and the look you want to achieve. This makes it an excellent option for anyone struggling with with uneven brows. It is a great option for people who do not want to do microblading or permanent makeup/tattoo.
