FYI…What Are Lash Extensions?

Lash Extensions are semi-permanent eyelash extensions. They are single strands of hypo-allergenic synthetic eyelashes curved to replicate a natural lash. Applied one at a time they look like natural eyelashes and give length, curl, and volume. They are perfect for day to day wear as well as special occasions for longer, thicker, luscious and natural looking eyelashes without the hassles of applying and removing mascara.  Each false lash is attached to your own lash using a plastic surgeons black glue.  The combination of the glue and the new lashes combine to make yours appear thicker and fuller all day, every day.  They are very easy to wear and require a “fill” appointment every couple of weeks to maintain their appearance.

What are the benefits of wearing lash extensions?

Most women choose Lash extensions to lengthen their natural lashes while others want their lashes to look fuller.  Extensions can create a younger appearance on many clients. These semi-permanent eyelash extensions create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, thereby creating a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

We recommend a full set of eyelash extensions for the initial application and touch ups every two weeks. A natural lash typically sheds every two to two and a half months and is replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Eyelash extensions are applied one-by-one to lashes that are about midway through their growth cycle. Therefore, after two to four weeks, approximately one third of your lashes will have cycled out (depending on your individual lash growth cycle). Therefore touch-ups are considered necessary to lashes that have completed their life cycle.

The main advantage of lash extensions is spending less time with makeup; mascara is certainly no longer necessary. The added benefit is that they look beautiful morning and night, all day, every day. Say goodbye to the application of mascara, stained tears and mascara masks around the eyes. With lash extensions you can look and feel gorgeous from the moment you wake up.
