Before my appointment - How should I prepare?

Because this procedure can take time, it is important that some things be done prior to arriving for your appointment:

Please remove all eye makeup with a mild, oil-free cleanser prior to your appointment. Eye makeup can interfere with the adhesive bond and shorten the lifespan of your lash extensions, so it's very important your natural lashes be as clean as possible.
If you are a contact lens wearer, please remove them.
Wear comfortable clothing, a blanket will be provided should you get cold.
To make you as comfortable as possible and to avoid delays, please visit the bathroom before your procedure.
Please note that I operate a strict no children or animal policy.
Please ensure that you are on time for your appointment. The appointment will automatically be cancelled if you are more than 10 minutes late.

During my appointment - What can I expect?

I will evaluate and discuss your needs and expectations. You will be comfortably reclined on a treatment bed, with eyes closed. It's highly recommended that all eye makeup be removed prior to your appointment, but if not, it will be removed as much as possible prior to starting the procedure. Your bottom lashes will be protected with a small under eye pad. Each synthetic lash is dipped in a medical grade bonding agent and applied to an individual natural lash. The number and length of lashes applied is determined by the desired look, as well as health and thickness of your own natural lashes. The entire procedure generally takes between 90-120 minutes for a full set and as little as 30-90 minutes for refills.

Aftercare instructions

Eyelash Extensions Aftercare
To maintain your eyelash extensions, the following instructions should be followed:
* No use of waterproof mascara – If you use mascara it must be water soluble. Please note that the use of mascara might reduce the life of your lash extensions
* No use of oil based products around the eye area. The brand SIMPLE is the best to use for removing makeup as it does not contain oil .
* No water or oil to come in contact with the eye area within 24 hours of the eyelash extension procedure
* No sauna or hot tub for 48 hours after the eyelash extension procedure
* No use of eyelash curlers, tinting or perming of the natural lashes while wearing eyelash extensions
* Use caution when blow-drying hair (extensive heat on lashes could distort the shape of the extensions)
* It is normal for the client to experience the loss of a few lashes during the first 24hrs after the application. Natural lashes shed every 6-8 weeks and fall out naturally, do not pull them out.
* Be gentle with the lash extensions, avoid tugging them and getting them caught on clothes and towels.
* Never pull off the eyelash extensions as this will pull out your natural eyelashes
* Gently comb through the lashes to maintain a good appearance, but only a few times each week as too much may loosen them.
* Schedule your appointment within 2-3 weeks of your initial eyelash extension procedure for infill. After this period it may need to be considered as a full set.
If an allergic reaction is suspected such as swelling, redness or puffiness, in the first case contact your therapist. In severe cases seek medical advice. Eyelash adhesives generally contain 2-ethoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate
