Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions enhance the length, thickness and fullness of natural eyelashes. Extensions come in various types, lengths, colors, curls and thickness, from natural looking to dynamic looking.
Eyelash extensions are about adding length, volume and creating style that mascara or strip lashes cannot deliver. When applied with the proper skill and cared for appropriately, they will outlast any makeup technique by weeks or even longer.

Lash Extensions are fibers that mimic the look and feel of mink or silk. They are very fine with a tapered end that resembles a natural lash. They are applied, one by one,using a special pair of tweezers that are designed specifically for this treatment. The adhesive that is used resists water so they will last for up to 8 weeks. Keep in mind, we shed our natural lashes daily, so a “fill” is done at 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a beautiful full set.
The entire procedure including consultation, photos and aftercare review will take approximately 2+ hours for classic and hybrid. A longer application time of 3+ for Volume and Mega Volume.
- Almost anyone is a suitable candidate for eyelash extensions! The natural lash must be at least 3mm long and in good health.
- Great for people who struggle with standard makeup products.
- It is ideal for those who swim, play sports or do other activities that would normally cause makeup to run.
- It is also good for those with poor eyesight and unsteady hands
- Weak, brittle or damaged lashes are not suitable to receive extensions. Use of a recommended lash growth serum will be advised for several weeks and then can be re-assessed.
- Anyone allergic to the adhesive or ingredients in the formulation of the product.
- Have skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis) or irritations (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.) in or near the procedure area. If there is broken skin, it must be fully healed.
- Infections or lesions, ie: ocular herpes, a stye or existing corneal abrasions/burns
- Have had sensitivities to adhesives or pigments (patch testing is available)
Other Considerations:
- Eye conditions that require use of medicated eye drops daily may affect retention
- Side or stomach sleepers-retention can be affected. Sleep on back and wear a contoured sleep mask
- Those who frequently rub their eyes-not advised or natural lash will get damaged
- Use of products containing oil – must stop the use of them
- Remove all eye makeup. If you have an ideal style in mind, bring a few reference photos to your appointment.
- If you wear contacts they must be removed. Please bring your glasses with you.
- Do not consume excess caffeine before your appointment which may make it hard for you to relax for your service
- Avoid self tanners immediately before your procedure.
- Some procedures should be done prior to your appointment
– Botox or filler (2 weeks in advance)
- Avoid swimming, hot steamy showers, direct sun, steam rooms, saunas and heavy perspiration from exercise for the first 24 hours.
- Do not use a lash curler
- Do not use any oil based products,use water based mascara(if needed)
- Do not pick, pull or rub the lashes
- Do not sleep on stomach
- Do brush daily
- Do wash with a foaming lash cleanser and fan them dry with cool air
- Do schedule your fill appointments every 2-3 weeks, or as advised
- Do have them removed professionally if desired
- Many different factors affect the retention of the lash extensions, such as skin type(oil production), lifestyle, hormones, stress level and immediate aftercare.
- Most clients will require a fill every 2-3 weeks to refresh shape and remove those that have outgrown too much
