WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS AND HOW ARE THEY APPLIED?
Eyelash extensions are synthetic lashes adhered to each natural lashes with a glue. The extensions are applied close to the lash line but not touching the skin. This allows the natural lashes to move freely and go through it's growth cycle.
HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?
Everyone is different, so there is no straight answer to this question. Factors such as your lash cycle and aftercare play a big part on how long they last.
If you want to maintain your lash extensions, it is recommended infilling your lash set approximately 2-3 weeks. By this stage, some of your lashes would have fallen out as new lashes have grown through. If you care for your lashes properly, your extensions will last longer (i.e. remove makeup carefully with a waterbased remover, don't wear mascara, and avoiding tugging/pulling at your eyelash extensions. Some clients who take extra good care of their lashes get 4 weeks before they need infills. If you happen to have very oily skin, you will normally need infills more regularly.
DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS DAMAGE YOUR NATURAL LASHES?
If they are applied properly, the answer is NO.
Everyone's natural lashes are different and so your technician should assess them at your initial visit and give advise on suitable length and style for you. If you follow your technician's advise, your lashes will stay healthy.

I HAVE MADE A BOOKING TO HAVE EYELASH EXTENSIONS PUT ON. IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO BEFOREHAND?
The main thing is to have clean eyes and eyelashes, free of makeup - especially mascara. The oil content in some makeup can prevent the eyelash extensions from bonding correctly. Refrain from using oil based products around your eye area 48 hours prior to your appointment.
CAN I WEAR EYE MAKEUP WITH MY EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Yes, you can as long as they are oil-free. However, I would highly recommend not to use any mascara as they are difficult to clean after.
CAN I SWIM/SHOWER AND GET MY EXTENSIONS WET?
Yes, just wash them gently and thoroughly after swimming with your water-based cleanser and pat them dry.

WHAT ARE LASH INFILLS AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
We shed our natural lashes just like we shed the hair on our heads. At around the 2-3 weeks mark, you will start to see little gaps where the old extensions have fallen off, with new baby lashes coming through. To make them look full again, an infill is required.
