Lashes + Brows

The answer is no. If done correctly, that is. Our lashes have three different developmental cycles; our technicians are trained to search for fully grown eyelashes to connect with synthetic ones. The smaller lashes are left to develop on their own. We will have a new fully grown lash by your next appointment to apply the extensions. Eyelash Extensions won’t make your natural eyelashes fall out. You naturally shed between three to five lashes per day; they are just not as noticeable without lash extensions. Keep in mind the aftercare of your lashes is extremely important, not only for the health of your lashes but for the extensions themselves.  

The eyelash extensions are going to last you anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks with proper care.  Routing cleaning of your lashes with lash shampoo will ensure that your body oils do not build up and break down the adhesive. Touching them too much, oil based cleansers, creams, and make-up, as well as make-up remover pads will affect the  lifetime of your eyelash extensions. NEVER wear mascara with extensions, there are extension safe mascara available to purchase at most lash studios.  Do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours. There are some environmental factors that affect the longevity of the lash extensions. Such as the amount of humidity in your area, steaming, rubbing, sleeping on one side. Resting on your face, 

The main thing is to have clean eyes and eyelashes, free of makeup – especially mascara. Do not have your eyelashes permed – it is very difficult for us to apply extensions on lashes that have been permed within the last 2-3 months, and often the extensions will not bond correctly. Some mascaras contain oils that can prevent eyelash extensions from bonding correctly. Be sure to use an oil-free makeup remover if removing makeup, and don’t use any oil or petroleum-based products on or around the eye area for 48 hours prior (such as Vaseline or moisturizers). 

There are a couple reasons why I would suggest putting your lash appointments on hold until after the baby is born.  Firstly, the chemicals; women should stay clear of harsh chemicals, which in the lash industry is most prevalent in the glues that we use. Research is yet to be carried out on the effects of lash glue on pregnancy. Secondly, after 20 weeks laying on your back for long periods of time is not safe, extensions can be up to two plus hours.  

Clean your eyelashes or brows well before your appointment with an oil-free cleanser. STOP using waterproof mascara two to three days before the appointment (waterproof mascara leaves a long-lasting residue that will affect the outcome of your lash lift + tint). Do not apply moisturizer or sunscreen to the eye area before your appointment.  Please do not curl your lashes with a lash curler before your appointment. For brow lamination please do not tweeze your brows for at least one week prior to your appointment and make sure to avoid using exfoliants, retinoids, or AHAs on your face for one to two weeks before your brow lamination.

Yes, absolutely.  Not within the first 24 hours though. 

It is dependent on your lash cycle, but typically 6-8 weeks. 

It’s a mini perming service designed specifically for brows. The process involves securing the hair in an upward stroke pattern, then setting them into place with a gentle brow perming solution.  

4-6 weeks.

For the first twenty-four hours after your lift + tint; Don’t get your eyelashes wet, don’t apply mascara or eye makeup, don’t sweat, don’t go into a sauna, don’t use oil-based products,  don’t rub your eyes. 

For the first twenty-four hours after your lamination; Don’t get your eyebrows wet (avoid the shower & bath), don’t go into a sauna, don’t use oil-based products, don’t apply heavy creams, makeup, or makeup remover to your brows, don’t sleep directly on your brows (we know, easier said than done for our stomach sleepers)
