Eyelash Extensions FAQ
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelashes are made thicker and longer through the professional application of an individual natural or synthetic lash extension directly attached one by one to the single natural eyelash with a specially formulated cyanoacrylate based bonding agent.
Lash extensions are usually offered in synthetic, silk or mink. Synthetic lashes works best for thicker coarser hair and silk for finer and fairer hair. Mink works well for any hair type but are much more costly.
When applied by an experienced professional, eyelash extensions offer the chance for long, thick beautiful lashes that enhance your entire appearance.
The desired length and fullness for extensions depends upon the natural length of your lashes. Emily can offer expert advice to assist clients with making the most informed decision when selecting the perfect look for your lashes not only enhance your style, but protect your health and safety.
Emily also recommends giving your lashes occasional breaks from extensions to grow normally.
Choose only a professional trained and licensed eyelash technician who adheres to a strict and detailed application process that safeguards against complications that can cause lashes to clump together and then fall out leaving a gap in your lash line.
How do Eyelash Extensions Work?
A painless and simple procedure, the lash extension is applied to the natural eyelash itself, not the skin, in single or volume extensions according to the look you wish to achieve. Emily is a Lavish Lashes Certified Eyelash Technician and offers her clients a comfortable and relaxing environment for eyelash extensions.
Since eyelash extensions normally take approximately 2-3 hours, many clients take advantage of this time to relax and get some beauty rest! Touch ups are required every two to four weeks to accommodate the regrowth of your natural lashes.
How Long do Eyelash Extensions Last?
Professional Eyelash Extensions are semi-permanent and will last up to four to six weeks, depending on an individual’s natural lash growth cycle as well as other factors. Though the average cycle of a single lash is about 90 days, factors such as your eyelash characteristics, lifestyle, and general care of your lashes will affect how long your eyelash extensions last.
Eyelash extensions will not interfere with the re-growth of your natural eyelashes - Extensions fall out naturally. Touch-ups are recommended every 2 – 4 weeks to maintain your desired look.
Do Eyelash Extensions look real?
Professional Eyelash Extensions are applied individually and when closely observed, appear to actually have a root. The lashes have a natural looking curve, so there is no need to use an eyelash curler. Eyelash Extensions come in various lengths, colors, and thicknesses to create a beautiful and natural look. Brilliant colors, such as blue and green, are very popular and help to accentuate the natural beauty and color of one’s natural eye color and lashes.
What do Eyelash Extensions feel like?
When professionally and properly applied, you cannot feel any difference after having your lashes enhanced with Lavish Lashes® Professional Eyelash Extensions. If you do feel a difference, your lashes were not properly applied, and you need to contact your professional
Are they hard to take care of and maintain?
Shower, swim or spa worry free. When properly applied, Lavish Lashes® Eyelash Extensions may last up to two months, depending on your own natural eyelash life cycle.
For best results and to prevent lashes from getting tangled or crisscrossed, Emily recommends that you gently brush out lashes using a clean, disposable mascara wand following a shower or swimming.
