What are eyelash extensions?

Lash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic mink lashes applied to your individual natural lashes to create length and fullness.

Can you explain the process from start to finish?

Every appointment starts with a consultation to confirm you’re a good candidate. Arrive makeup-free and comfortable. After paperwork and waivers, we discuss expectations, apply soothing gel pads to secure the lower lashes, and then isolate each lash to apply extensions one at a time. We alternate between both eyes for balanced, even results.

How long does it take to apply lash extensions?

A full set takes approximately two hours.

Are lash extensions safe?

Yes—as long as they’re applied by a trained professional using high-quality products.

How often do I need refills?

Refills are recommended every two to three weeks since we naturally shed lashes daily.

Can I shower or swim right away? What should I avoid?

Avoid getting your lashes wet immediately afterward. We recommend waiting at least six hours (and up to 24–48 hours) before showering or swimming. Steer clear of oil-based products around the eyes to protect the adhesive.

What are lash extensions made of?

They’re made of soft, synthetic fibers that mimic the look and feel of natural eyelashes.

Can I wear mascara with eyelash extensions?

We don’t recommend mascara on your extensions, but you can wear it on your bottom lashes if you like.

Does the service hurt?

Not at all! Many clients even nap during their appointment because it’s so relaxing.

Can I use eye makeup remover?

Yes. Choose an oil-free formula to protect the adhesive bond.

Who should avoid eyelash extensions?

Lash extensions may not be ideal if you pick or pull at your lashes, have very sparse or fragile lashes, or take medications that affect hair follicles.

Can people with contacts get lash extensions?

Yes—just arrive with your contacts out if your eyes are sensitive.

How can I make them last longer?

Brush your lashes morning and night, keep the lash line clean, and minimize heavy eye makeup.

What is eyelash tinting?

Lash tinting deepens the color of your natural lashes using a gentle tint formulated for lashes and brows.

What is an eyelash lift?

A lash lift gently perms your natural top lashes. We use a silicone rod to lift and separate the lashes before applying a solution that locks in the curl for five to six weeks, creating a mascara-like effect.

How long do tints and lifts last?

Tints typically last five to six weeks, while lifts can last five to eight weeks before needing a refresh.

Are there different lengths for different faces?

Absolutely! We tailor every lash service to your natural lash length, density, and desired style for a unique look.
