What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent application of natural or synthetic eyelashes to create a lusher lash line in a range of eyelash styles. They require skilled application as well as careful maintenance at home.
Individual lashes are applied with a skin-safe adhesive, securing each lash tip to the lid between one natural lash and the next. The application process takes a few hours to do but creates a look that lasts for several weeks. Clients can expect to pay $150-$170 for the initial full-set application and $60-$90 for the fill-ins, every 2-3 weeks.
The Pros
The Cons
Why do I need a professional to do this for me?
It's best to consult with a licensed professional instead of applying eyelash extensions at home because it's possible that the wrong type of glue could damage your natural lashes or you could end up with an infection. Our licensed estheticians are trained to the highest standards for the best cosmetic outcome and to prioritize your safety. We will carefully apply the lashes to your lid, so the adhesive doesn't pull at your natural eyelashes. This means your natural eyelashes shouldn't be harmed in the process.
CLASSIC vs. FULL(Volume) Set - Which is Right for Me?
Classic lashes are exactly what they sound like: one extension applied to one natural lash. No fans. No layers. Just a single extension bonded to a single natural lash, from root to tip.
The result is clean, polished, and natural-looking — like mascara, but better. Classic sets define the lash line without adding significant drama. Clients who want to "enhance, not transform" are almost always classic clients.
Volume lashes use small fans — 2D to 6D — made from multiple thin extensions and applied to a single natural lash. The result is a fuller, more glamorous look than classic can achieve.
Eyelash Extension Aftercare
After you get lash extensions, be careful what you put on your eyelids. Oil-based products can loosen the adhesive of your new lashes. Use an oil-free makeup remover and facial cleanser. Do not rub the eyelash area because it could cause lashes to break loose from the adhesive. Return to the salon as directed by your technician/ esthetician for necessary follow-up appointments.
Should You Use a Lash Serum?
Absolutely! For volume lashes without the salon hassle and to avoid using glues and other adhesives on your skin, try a nightly lash serum at home.
Not all lash serums are created equal! We recommend a prescription strength serum e.g. LATISSE® by Allergan.
LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is FDA-approved to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth, including length, thickness, and darkness.
LATISSE® is to be applied at night (after your face is cleansed and all makeup is removed) with the use of a sterile applicator, which should be dabbed on the upper lash line. You should not dab the lower lash line with the sterile applicator, because the drug naturally spreads to the lower line when you blink. LATISSE® must be applied very delicately, daily. Results are usually visible after 8 weeks of nightly use. Most patients see maximum benefits at 16 weeks. Your eyelash will regress to their initial appearance if LATISSE® is stopped completely. Most clients continue LATISSE® every other night after their initial 4 months of treatment.
Be wary of generic version available online. We trust the original LATISSE® available through Allergan, by prescription only.
Who cannot or should not use LATISSE®?
If you have macular degeneration, glaucoma or cataracts, use LATISSE® only after a complete medical consultation.
