Eyelash Extensions 101

Having a thick set of full eyelashes is sought after by many, which is precisely why mascara and false lashes fly off the shelves. However, applying makeup daily or gluing on lashes can get annoying, which is why eyelash extensions are becoming more popular. Here is everything you need to know.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are one of the best ways to thicken and lengthen your natural eyelashes. The extensions are individually applied to each natural eyelash using a special technique. They can enhance your length, add fullness, and even curl up for a dramatic effect. They provide the same look as mascara, except you don’t have to worry about removing it every night. Instead, your lashes will look beautiful all day and all night long. 

Are Eyelash Extensions Safe?

One of our biggest questions is whether eyelash extensions are safe. The short answer is yes, as long as a licensed and experienced lash technician applies them. Our adhesives are FDA-approved and used by lash technicians all over the world. During the lash application session, you will close your eyes, ensuring that glue will not get into your eyes. Our goal is to keep you safe while helping you feel confident and beautiful. 

How Long Does It Take To Apply Them?

Getting your eyelash extensions applied can take somewhere between one to two hours. Each lash is applied individually, with care and perfection. The exact time will depend on the extensions you choose, from fullness to thickness. 

How Long Do They Last?

Once your lashes are applied, you will get lash extension refills every two to three weeks to keep their appearance thick and full. This is because eyelash extensions stay connected to your natural lashes through a full growth cycle, which is about six weeks.

At the end of the growth cycle, the natural lash and the applied lash extension will shed. The refill appointments are less time-consuming, typically taking less than an hour. They will keep your eyelash extensions maintained, allowing them to last as long as you would like. 

Can Anyone Get Eyelash Extensions? 

Almost everyone can get eyelash extensions, but there are some reasons why you shouldn’t. We do not recommend them for the following:

  • Have Sensitive Skin

  • Have Allergies

  • Have Pre-existing Eye Conditions

  • Are Prone to Rubbing Their Eyes

  • Have Extremely Short Natural Lashes
