Q. What are lash extensions?
A. An average eyelid has approximately 100 natural hairs which shed at an average rate of 20-30% every 2 weeks. Therefore, when the natural hair sheds, so does the extension that was attached to it. Since new hairs are always growing in, refills can be performed to attach extensions to the new growth keeping the lashes looking full continuously or for as long as you wish to maintain them.
Q. How ofter will I need my lashes refilled?
A. On average, refills are recommended every 2-3 weeks to keep the lashes looking their best. With proper maintenance semi-permanent eyelash extensions can be kept up indefinitely through regular refills.
Q. Can anyone get lash extensions?
A. Anyone with an eyelash to attach to can receive eyelash extensions. However, if you have any of the following conditions we advise you to schedule a free consultation with a Lash Lounge stylist prior to scheduling a full set to best determine if lashes are right for you.
- Extremely sensitive eyes or skin
- Eye infection of any kind
- Allergy to cyanoacrylate (this is used in acrylic nails and most adhesives of any kind)
Q. Will my natural lashes be damaged?
A. Our application technique and premium products will not damage your natural lashes. It is imperative to the health of your lashes to have each natural hair isolated when an extension is adhered to it and ensure proper separation so that the hairs can continue to grow and shed as they would naturally. We only use formaldehyde-free, medical-grade adhesives which are made exclusively for lash extensions and offer a more sensitive adhesive for our guests who are more prone to allergic reactions. This combination of our top quality adhesive and individual lash attachment will sustain the health and integrity of the natural hairs indefinitely.
Q. How will lash extensions look, and feel while they are on?
A. Our eyelash extensions look and feel completely real as each application is customized to your eye shape, natural lash line, and desired look. We offer different curls, thicknesses, and lengths that are indistinguishable in weight to human lashes thereby providing a weightless feel to your lash line. Our experienced, professional lash stylists will choose a variety of extensions to create the most flattering, natural, and beautiful look for you.
Q. How should I prepare for my lash extension appoitnment?
A.
- Remove all eye makeup and clean your natural lashes with an oil-free cleanser.
- If you wear contact lens, we recommend removing them.
- Avoid caffeine and any other stimulants that may cause your eyes to flutter involuntarily.
- Refrain from curling or perming your natural lashes prior to receiving your full set.
Q. How do I remove my lash extensions?
A. Eyelash extensions can be easily removed by a DF Stylist using a special gel remover formulated to quickly dissolve the medical-grade adhesive and gently wipe away the lash extensions. The process is painless and will not harm your natural hairs – taking less than 30 minutes. Please do not attempt to remove lash extensions yourself as this can cause damage to your natural lashes.
