What are Eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semipermanent lashes that are hand-glued on top of your natural lashes. Unlike strip lashes, lash extensions are glued on individually to your natural hairs, so they're super customizable and actually look real.
How long do eyelash extension last?
If you actually take care of them, eyelash extensions can last for 3 to 8 weeks until they naturally fall out like your lashes usually do. Once they start falling out, though, you can go back and have your lash stylist fill in the missing lashes which is called a refill. You choose when you want them re -filled. We normally have a 2,3 or 4 week refill service available to choose from.

Do eyelash extensions ruin your eyelashes?
Not really—there isn't a ton of evidence that shows whether eyelash extensions actually affect your natural lash length or health long-term. There is, however, a teeny-tiny risk of developing traction alopecia, says Zaina Al-Mohtaseb, MD, assistant professor of ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, which is where your natural lashes can fall out as a result of the constant weight of repeated eyelash extensions. But don’t stress—this isn't common.
“Usually, it takes years of bad application and improper care for long-term lash damage to happen as a result,” says Marin. So please, only go to legit, well-reviewed salons (no matter how good that Groupon deal is). Make sure your technician follows all the sanitation and disinfection protocols, and don't feel awkward asking your technician to confirm that all of these precautions are being taken. And remember: Listen to your gut. If you're getting a bad vibe from a salon, reschedule.
Whats Bad About Eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions aren't dangerous or "bad" as long as your technician is following the correct methods and using the proper materials.
How much does a full set of eyelash extensions cost?
Eyelash extensions can range anywhere from $100 to $200 & The longer you go between fill-ins, the more lashes you’ll need to replace and the more it will cost you—and if you wait too long, your technician might just want to give you a brand-new set of extensions rather than a fill-in, which obviously won’t be cheap. - Refill's are more frequent but don't cost as much. You do need a percentage of lashes on to qualify for a re-fill service.
Do the lash extensions make your lashes fall out?
No, Lash extensions do not make your lashes fall out. like all other hair on your body it has a growth cycle. To put it in laymen terms it is the baby lash (anagen) then the teenage lash (catagen) and then lastly Telogen phase (adult lash). Sometimes we go through a lash shedding faze typically between changes of seasons and you will require more refills as you will loose more of your own lashes in the stage.
How do you know what size eyelash extensions to get?
You might want Kardashian-level lashes, but that doesn’t mean your eyes can handle them. The type of lashes you can get all depends on the length and strength of your natural lashes. Wearing lashes that are too long or too thick for your lashes can actually cause damage in the long run, so you need to make sure your extensions aren’t too much longer or thicker than your natural lashes.
If all that sounds confusing, don't worry—a licensed lash specialist will help you make the best decision for your lashes, including what type of material you should get, like synthetic mink or synthetic silk. Mink is usually pricier, feels softer, and looks more natural; however, some synthetics, which are highly customizable, can also look and feel natural and end up costing as much as or more than mink.
What are classic lashes vs. hybrid eyelash extensions?
When it comes to the density, curl, and length of your extensions, you’ll want to work with your tech to figure out which is the best option for you. “A good lash technician will take your face shape, bone structure, and natural lashes into consideration when helping you decide on a lash look. Typically, single or classic lashes means there's one single extension attached to one single, natural lash. If you want more volume, the lash tech can apply a few extension hairs to a single, natural lash, which is commonly called a fan lash or volume lash. And with hybrid lash extensions, your lash tech can combine the two and add a fan where you want more volume, and taper it out with singles. Our best tip: give your lash tech photos of the lashes you want to help communicate exactly what you want. The lash terminology changes depending on the lash tech, so make sure you're both on the same page.

Can I wear Mascara whan I have lashes on?
Nope. You don't want to be wearing mascara as this will contribute to your lash extension retention. Which means that the lash extension will not adhere to the natural lash properly and will come off quickly. ​
​
If I use the foam cleanser to clean my lashes will they not come off quicker?
The opposite is true in this case as your eyes secrete salts and skin secretes natural oils and if you don't clean your lashes daily with a lash foam cleanser made specifically for cleansing the lashes. You may loose more lashes as oils will loosen the lash extensions.

This is recommended: Buy yourself a good lash cleanser and youll get better retention on your lashes - this means they will last longer.
