Q & A
​What is the process of eyelash application?
Application of eyelash extensions is a relaxing process - many of our clients fall asleep during application. Your eyes are closed as we apply the extensions to one isolated natural eyelash at a time. The extensions are applied with adhesive that is made specifically for eyelash extensions and does not touch the skin; it is applied to the lash hair only, about 1 mm from the root of the eyelash. The entire appointment you will be comfortably laying down on a reclining chair with your eyes closed. Clients usually take this time to rewind and take a quick nap which makes the time go by fast.
How long does it take to apply eyelash extensions?
Usually the full set of eyelash extensions can take anywhere from 1.5hrs to 3.5hrs depending on which set of eyelashes you decide to get. Fill times are shorter, depending on the style and if you need a mini, regular fill, or fill +, these services can take anywhere from 30min to 2hrs.
Will it ruin or cause my natural lashes to fall out?
Lash extensions will not cause your natural eyelashes to fall out if they are applied correctly. Remember that your natural lashes have their own life cycle of falling or growing out, just like the hairs found elsewhere on your body. On average, we lose about 2-5 natural lashes per day. It's hard to notice small lashes falling out, but when attached to a thicker, longer lash, they become much more noticeable! Based on the growth cycle of eyelashes, when applying lashes, lash artists are trained to look for the strongest lash to put the extensions on with appropriate length and weight ,as well as, properly isolating every lash to make sure that each one is individually placed and that there are no lashes that are sticking together. Young (baby) lashes are left alone to let them fully develop and when it comes times for a fill, we have new strong lashes to bond to. Once the extensions are removed, your own eyes may appear smaller, your natural lashes shorter and more sparse because you've been accustomed to a full set of longer, thicker lashes.
Do I ever need to take a break from eyelash extensions?
As long as your eyelash extensions are applied correctly, you do not need to take a break unless you absolutely want to for your own reasons. It is important to find a well-educated lash artist that will prioritize your lash health so that there will be no need to take a break.
How do I prep before my appointment?
Prior to your appointment, please do not have any caffeine, as your eyes have to stay calm throughout your appointment. I recommend you not curl your eyelashes, wear a mascara the day before and the day of your appointment, and arrive with no eye makeup on. It will help to maximize your lash retention if you come to your appointment with squeaky clean lashes.
How often should I be coming back for my fills?
We recommend getting refills every 2 to 3.5 weeks. Factors such as exposure to humidity, steam, chlorine, or touching/tugging on your lashes may cause the extensions to fall out quicker. Refills can take from 1hr – 1hr45min depending on the state of your remaining lashes. A good sign of when you need a refill is when your extensions are 50%-60% gone. Having less than 30% fullness is considered either a fill + or full set.
Can I swim, shower, or exercise while wearing lash extensions?
Yes! The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, and exercise, however; we recommend that you DO NOT get them wet for at least 24hrs after the initial eyelash extension application. This allows the bonding agent to fully dry and prolong the life of your extensions. I do recommend cleaning your lashes after excessive sweating or swimming in the pool to make sure outside factors wont affect your retention.
What is the cancelation policy?
Since we are specifically setting aside time for you and your appointment, last minute cancelations not only hurt us but also our many clients who are on a waiting list and who would have loved to have your appointment. If you are unable to make your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule. Texting to +1 (702) 600-3648 is the fastest way to get a message to us. Any appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancelation fee, less than 6hour notice will be %100 fee of your scheduled service. If you can't pay the cancelation fee, unfortunately we will have to discontinue scheduling any future appointments.
How do I care for my lash extensions?
Lash extensions are surprisingly easy to maintain. The important factors are keeping your eyelashes clean by cleansing them thoroughly and daily. It is also important to avoid waterproof cosmetics and use only oil free products around your eye area.
