Lash Knowledge

How to prepare for your appointment: 

1. If you wear waterproof mascara, discontinue use 3 days prior to your appointment. 

2. Arrive with a freshly clean face and impeccably clean lashes. 

3. Avoid oil based products on and around the eyes.

4. Arrive freshly showered and with clean hair. You won't be able to wet the lashes for the initial 8-12 hours after application. 

5. Remove your contacts, if you wear them. I recommend my clients wear glasses the day of service.

6. Facials first, lashes last. 

7. Tint the lashes 24-48 hours prior to extension application. 


During your service:

Get comfortable most services take 1hr - 1hr 30min. (Lash naps are free with every service.)

If you have eye sensitivities keep it quiet once lashing begins because glue fumes can be bothersome if the eye lids open due to cheek and tape movement. 

Avoid caffeine before the appointment because it makes the eye lids twitch. 

Bring headphones to listen to music, podcast, audio books, or guided meditation.

Choose a low stress appointment time so your Lash Artist isn’t rushed. 

It’s best to put your phone on silent so you aren’t distracted if it rings.

After your service:

Avoid Water for 8-12hrs:

During curing period, exposure to water, or even steam, could weaken the adhesive, causing the extension to fall prematurely.

Wash Your Lashes:

Washing your lashes daily with a lash cleanser will help to remove any build-up of dirt, oil, makeup, dead skin, and bacteria. It’s also imperative to avoid lash mites!

Avoid Face Products with Oils:

Oils affect the bond between the adhesive and the natural lash when they seep into the lash line. Over time, the lash glue will weaken and the extension will eventually shed.

Sleeping with Extensions:

Ideally, you should sleep on your back to avoid any friction between the extensions and your pillow. Also, silk or satin pillowcases are best. Change pillowcases frequently to avoid oil transfers. 

No Water Proof Eye Makeup:

You’ll either need considerable force (with a lot of rubbing) or a strong cleanser like an oil-based one. All of this is a straight pathway to losing your extensions prematurely.

Maintain Lashes with Refills:

Refills are designed to fill in any obvious gaps left as extensions naturally fall. The point at which your real lashes join the eyelash extension weakens over time due to oil or other impurities. After about three weeks, the join starts to become unstable and will be ready to come off. Refills also prevent damages from heavy and droopy outgrown lashes.
