Keep your standards high and your lashes long

---

Typically, a full set of new lashes takes 3-4 hours, sometimes shorter.

I always recommend clients try a classic set first. This way, your new lashes are not too shockingly bold for your liking. If you decide you want some more volume for your next fill, we can always add more. It's easier to add than to take away.

This depends on several factors. For some people, they last longer than others, depending on your hormone levels, medication and lash aftercare. Typically it is recommended that you come to get a fill (get your lashes retouched) every 2 weeks and no later than 3 weeks.

Caring for your lashes will extend the longevity of your extensions. Oils and makeup build up in your lash line during the day. This can factor into lash extensions falling off more quickly. I recommend clients wash their lashes every night before bed to remove any glue-deteriorating oils. In addition, it is recommended that you sleep on your back because sleeping on your side or stomach will cause pressure on your lash extensions, causing them to pop off.

The answer is yes, to a certain extent. Some makeup products can decrease how long your lashes last. For example, eyeliners usually have moisturizing ingredients, which deteriorate the bond of the lash extension glue. There are lash extension-approved eyeliners on the market. If you wear heavy eye shadows or makeup around your eye, I strongly recommend cleaning your lashes each night before bed, as you don't want makeup and oil build-up. Bottom lashes are also discouraged from mascara application as they can transfer to your top lashes and clump them together.

No! Putting mascara on your extensions will ruin them by causing them to clump together. If your lashes look too bare before your fill, do not put on mascara and schedule your fills earlier if you do not want to be charged for a full set.

Definitely! If your eyes are typically sensitive to makeup or other products, you can ask your lash technician for a patch test. A patch test is done 48 hours before your appointment and includes placing 3-4 extensions on each eye. If you do not have any adverse reactions during these 48 hours, you can go ahead with your lash extension appointment. A patch test can help see if there could be any unfavourable reactions, but it cannot guarantee it.
