What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are individual strands of synthetic fibers made to replicate a natural eyelash. When applied correctly, the eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken your own natural eyelashes. The single strands or thin fanned out strands are applied to each individual eyelash, one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural and shouldn’t weight down your natural lashes.
How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions last?
When applied by one of our Lash Artist, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your own eyelashes. Depending on your activity and day-to-day routine, refills should only be required every 2 to 4 weeks. Anything more will be consider a full set.
How long will it take to apply eyelash extensions and how is it done?
The application process for lash extensions normally takes about 90-120 minutes for a full set of lashes and 45-75 minutes for a refill. You will lay comfortably on a facial bed with your eyes closed. During the application, your lower lashes will be covered with an eye pad or sensitive tape and the extensions will be applied only to your upper lashes one at a time.
