Volume? Classic? Hybrid? What's the difference?
There are several different types and styles of lash extensions, but the most common ones are volume, hybrid, and classic. Volume lashes consist of fluffy fans made up of several thinner extensions. Volume lashes will give your look a dose of bold glamour. Classic lashes are thicker individual extensions that are applied one by one to each natural lash. Classic lashes are known to give a lengthened “mascara” look. Hybrid lashes are an even mix of volume fans and classic extensions, giving you not-to-much not-to-little look. Hybrids are a great starter set if you’re unsure of what you want. It is always recommended to browse your tech’s portfolio and find sets that fit your goal.
How long do lash extensions last?
Most lash adhesives have a bond time of 4 – 8 weeks. However, they will only last as long as your natural lash lasts. Like hair on your head, you shed your natural eyelashes over time and can lose anywhere from 5 – 7 lashes per day. This is why fills are recommended every 2 – 3 weeks, depending on retention.
Do lash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly, lash extensions should not damage your natural eyelashes. Extensions are applied individually on a single natural lash and are an appropriate weight and thickness for your natural lash. This will ensure your natural lash’s integrity and keep them healthy.
Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?
Absolutely! When wearing makeup with extensions, it is important to steer clear of any oil-based products. Oil can break down the adhesive and minimize the retention on your lash set. It is also important to thoroughly cleanse your lashes daily with a cleanser recommended/provided by your lash tech. Clean lashes are happy lashes!
Can I wear makeup to my appointment?
I kindly ask that you please come with makeup-free eyes to any and all lash appointments. If you come with dirty eyes, an additional $10 fee will be added to your payment. Clean eyes and lashes are essential to proper lash application. The glue will not bond to dirty lashes!
What if I am unhappy with my set?
If lash extensions turn out not to be your cup of tea, I will happily remove the extensions free of charge as long as it is within 48 hours of completion of your appointment. If something is amiss with your set within 48 hours, I will be happy to accommodate any tweaks to make your set as good as new. After 48 hours, lash removals, touch ups, and fills are able to be booked at your convenience.
