PRECARE:

Make sure your eyelashes are squeaky clean – no traces of eye makeup or eye cream– prior to your appointment. Use an oil-free make up remover and rinse well. Any traces of oil or makeup (especially mascara!) will create a barrier between the adhesive and your natural lashes, causing your extensions to drop off prematurely.

If you use water proof mascara, avoid using it 2-3 days before your appointment. The film it leaves on your lashes may prevent the extensions from adhering correctly. Arrive to your appointment with dry, clean lashes and free of makeup. The more time your lash stylist has to spend cleaning your lashes, the less time you have for the application = less lashes applied.

DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT:

Generally a full set of eyelash extensions takes about 120 minutes. During this time you cannot open your eyes. Laying still is very important during the lash session. That means moving your hands and arms. Eyelashes are very short hairs and when we wiggle around it is hard to keep eyelashes isolated from other lashes.

Excessive talking can move eyepads around and make it very difficult for your lash artist to apply lashes. When we talk we tend to move our eyebrows, move our heads, and thus move our lashes. We understand that you may need to adjust yourself during the service. Just let us know so we can accommodate you. Enjoy your lash nap ( the new kind of beauty sleep!)

AFTERCARE:

Eyelash Extensions are a high maintenance beauty treatment. They require very gentle care in order for the lashes to last longer and stay in good condition.

• Be gentle. Do not rub or pull on your eyelash extensions.

• Keep your Eyelash Extensions dry for 24 hours after your appointment.

• You may wash your face in the sink using a washcloth, avoiding the eye area.

• Keep all oil based products away from the eyes and remember that everything on your face will travel to the eye area.

• Oil WILL breakdown the adhesive and you will have premature lash extension loss.

• Your hands can get dirty, and dirt is oily, so you’ll want to keep your fingers off your eyes unless cleansing.

• Lash tinting will need to be done 24-48 hours before your lash fill appointments.

• No perming the lashes!

• No saunas, facials, or swimming within 48 hours of application.

• Do not stick your head in the oven when baking! It can singe your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting anything in or pulling anything out.

• Do not use Eyelash Curlers.

• You should be careful and take specific care with makeup and remover.

• Do not use cotton on your lash extensions.

• Wash your lashes daily (after the initial 24 hours).

• Apply oil-free makeup remover or face cleanser with your fingers, rubbing gently down the lashes.

• DO NOT use Micellar Water OR Baby Shampoo!!!

• NO mascara!

• Do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own, schedule a lash removal.

• Brush your lashes daily.

REMEMBER:

1) We aren’t attaching airplane parts! Aggressive behavior towards the lashes will cause the lash extensions to come off.

2) Keep them dry for 24 hours after application. If you wear eye shadows and liners, you will need to keep it on or re-apply over it.

3) Keep oil off your lashes, including oils from your fingers.

4) If you wash them, you will wear them longer. Be sure to cleanse daily to remove oils.

5) Brushing them gently solves most problems.
