AFTER VERY HEAVY EXTENSIONS
Q. What are eyelash extensions?
They are individual synthetic, mink or silk eye lash hairs that are bonded to your own natural upper eyelashes with an adhesive especially formulated for this process. The new little eyelash hairs will make your natural lashes look longer and thicker and more upturned. They are smudge-proof, weightless and available in different lengths to create the desired effect.
Q. Why can they be applied only to the upper lashes?
Because of safety reasons. The eyes must be closed through the whole process to avoid fumes or droplets from the adhesives.
Q. How safe are the glues or adhesives used and adhesive removers?
Great care is taken to ensure that the adhesives do not come in contact with the eye. The entire process is done with your eyes closed and your lower lashes are covered securely to ensure that no adhesive comes in contact with them. Of course the gentle remover we use will quickly unglue any lashes if necessary to do so.
Q. I already have long eyelashes, but would like them thicker looking, would extensions do this?
They can make your already long lashes thicker and darker.
Q. Can I wear mascara with the lash extensions if I wish to?
We don't recommend it, as it will eventually weaken the bonding adhesive, and removing the mascara at night, as one should, will most likely shorten the longevity of the extensions. However, mascara does make the extensions show up more dramatically, if you desire this look, just be aware of the results. Do not wear waterproof mascara, only mascaras that remove easily with warm water.
Q. What is the application process like and how long does it take?
You will receive a thorough consultation before the procedure. There will be before and after photos taken and an agreement form to sign and you will be given written after care suggestions.
1. You will be made comfortable in a reclined position on a professional facial chair and your lower eyelashes are protected by a soft thin paper pad and medical paper adhesive tape. (this does not hurt). You close your eyes and just relax.
2. The application time is from one and a half hours to two hours depending on the look desired or how many lashes are applied.
Q. How long will my Eyelash Extensions last?
They are not permanent but some added lash hairs may last up to 4 weeks. Many factors will affect the life of the lash extensions. Keep in mind that your own natural lashes shed naturally, being completely replaced with new little hairs that are constantly growing in. The life of a natural lash is approximately 3 months, but they are falling out one or two at a time and we usually don't notice this. So as the natural lash falls out, the hair glued to it will of course fall off also. This varies for each person. In general, your own natural lash cycle, your lifestyle, and aftercare will affect how long the lashes last. Touch ups or fill-ins are recommended every 2-4 weeks, depending on your individual needs. Humidity and moisture will also affect the life of the eyelash extensions.
Q. Why are touch ups necessary?
Your natural eyelashes continue to grow in a replenishing cycle. Since the extensions are bonded to your own natural lash, you may need to refill the areas where your own natural lash has fallen out. Touch-ups keep the lashes looking fresh. Touch ups generally take 15-45 minutes, depending on how many lashes have fallen out. Each person’s eyelashes fall out at different intervals. Getting touch ups is similar to getting your nails filled. The point is, you only fill in the ones that need it, it’s not necessary to get a new set every time unless you wait until all the lashes have fallen as the natural lashes have shed to make way for new ones.
In a two week period, as few as two or several lashes will fall from each eye, and some of those are the ones where the extension was bonded to.Q. Will the Lash extensions pull out my natural lashes?
In general, the lash extensions will not pull out your natural lashes. However, if you pull on the extensions, your natural lash may come off with the extension. But do not worry; your natural lashes will grow back. Do not attempt to remove the extensions yourself; otherwise you will pull out your own natural lashes. Removals should be done by a professional in order to preserve your own natural eyelashes.
Q. Who cannot or should not wear eyelash extensions?
*Someone who has Glaucoma and must use eye drops several times a day *Someone with extremely dry eyes and who uses lubrication drops *Very easily irritated eyes as in constantly tearing *Someone who constantly rubs their eyes or picks at their eyelashes *Someone who sleeps on their stomach is not the best candidate as it bends the lashes and causes them to fall out sooner
PRICES:
AVERAGE SET OF UPPER LASHES...........................RANGES FROM $75 TO $150 (Depending on how thick or dramatic effect you desire)
Very Dramatic and Extra Thick.............$200
FILL-INS COST:
Just like with fingernails extensions or overlays, you need fill-ins every two to three weeks. So if you like the look of your gorgeous new eyelashes you will want to maintain the look by getting Fill-ins when the lashes begin to look spacey and skimpy form the natural fallout process. As was mentioned above this will vary with each person but if you get a fill-in on a regular basic like every two or three weeks you will receive a discount as you will need less lashes added and therefore less time involved.
FILL-INS...................Cost depends on the amount of replacements necessary to achieve your look.
RANGES FROM $25 TO $65 IF A FEW LASHES REMAIN.
IF NO LASHES REMAIN AFTER ONE MONTH FROM FIRST APPLICATION OR LAST REFILL, THEN FULL PRICE MAY APPLY.
