and how long they last.
The Procedure:
After a thorough consultation where we explain the procedure and benefits of the eye lash extensions, we lay you on our comfortable beds for your eyelash treatment. Here you will relax with soothing music for complete relaxation. Once your eye makeup is removed and your bottom lashes protected, you are ready to receive the extensions. Each individual lash is dipped in a bonding agent and applied to a natural individual lash. Great care is taken to avoid skin contact. On average, each eye will require between 25 tp 40 new lashes, depending on the desired look. The entire procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and is very relaxing. You emerge with a revitalized, uplift look to your eyes.
After Care: To get the most out of your lashes, you need to follow some simple instructions.
The first 24-48 hours are crucial to the bonding procedure, so:
• No water should contact eyelashes for 12 hours.
• No steaming, swimming or washing your face with hot water for 48 hours.
• Emollients, creams, and oils are the eye lash bonding agent's worst enemy. Use eye
creams sparingly and avoid lid/lash.
• Do not use mascara or mascara remover. You don't need it and it shortens the life of the
extension.
• Do not use an eye lash curler. It will break the eye lashes and/or crease them.
• Do not rub lashes when washing your face - pat dry after cleansing.
• Do not pull on eyelashes. The bond on the extensions is so strong that it will pull your own
eyelash out along with the new ones.

Q&A:
How long will they last?
With proper care, your lash extension will last as long as your own lash. The life cycle of natural lashes is about 10 to 12 weeks. In order for us to successfully bond a lash to your own lash however; we must target a lash that is long enough to support the length of the extension. Typically these lashes are about 5 to 6 weeks old and are close to full maturity. This leaves you with about 5 to 6 weeks of wear before the last lash falls off. Since your own lashes fall off at different intervals, your extensions will slowly be shed off with the natural lash over the 5 to 6 week period. Because of this, touch ups are recommended about every 2 weeks to maintain the fullness of lush lashes.
How thick will they make my lashes?
Typically a full set of lash extensions will thicken your own lashes about 30 to 50 %. If you are use to wearing the strip or flair extensions, you will find that this technology is not as thickening as the old technology. It is designed to give you a more natural look.
How long will they make my lashes?
On average, the extensions can make your lashes anywhere from 20% to 50% longer than your own lashes. We can extend them out as long as 75%, but find that they don't last more than a week.
What do I have to do to keep them up?
Although some people get eyelash extensions for a special occasion or vacation, most love the look so much, that they want to maintain it. This requires touch ups on a two week basis to replace lost lashes. After several touch ups, your technician may suggest a new set, to keep the lashes looking fresh and new.
How soon before and event should I have them done?
We suggest 2 days to 5 days before that special event or vacation. This insures accurate curing time for the bonding agent (which can take up to 48 hours) and the freshest possible look for the lashes.
Can I use Mascara on my extensions?
You will not need to use mascara with these extensions. But for those dye hard fans the answer is "It is not recommended".
