How long do lash extensions last?
Properly applied extensions should last as long as your natural lash life cycle, anywhere from 3-8 weeks depending on the individual. Of course rubbing or pulling will make them shed quicker. Aftercare is the key to longevity. An infill every 2-3 weeks is recommended.

Does it hurt?
No. You gently close your eyes and the most you will feel is a tickle as the lashes are applied. The service is very relaxing and many clients take the opportunity for a power nap.

What method is used for application?
The only truly safe and effective method of application is for the client to be lying flat with their eyes closed.

Why is this the only internationally recognised method?
Because it is risk free and avoids damage to natural lashes. Your eyes protected from adhesive fumes and each extension can be individually grafted to a single lash. The adhesive never comes in contact with your skin and more importantly, your eye.

It is also the only method that allows you to freely run a plain mascara wand through your lashes, no clumps. The difference is in the results!

Do Eyelash Extensions cause damage to natural lashes?
Professionally selected and applied extensions ensure that your natural lashes are nurtured. The optimal application method is also vital for avoiding stress to your lashes.

How long does it take?
A full set takes 1-2 hours including consultation time. Infills are usually 30-60 minutes.

I have long lashes already, why choose extensions?
Extensions offer more than just length. If you are going on a beach holiday for example, you won't want to use mascara to define your lashes. Extensions add volume and thickness. Extensions also keep your lashes beautifully curled.

Can I still use mascara?
Yes. Mascara that has been specially formulated for use with eyelash extensions can be purchased in salon at a very reasonable price.

How do I care for my new lashes?
Your technician will go over the details and you will receive a set of aftercare instructions.
