Aftercare for Lash Extensions
Lash Extensions are a luxury and require some love to keep them looking their best! Follow these aftercare tips to keep your lashes living their best life!
- Keep them dry for the first 24 hours. This will allow the glue to fully cure, thus securing the extension to your lash. (If your lash artist uses bonder at the end of your service, you may be able to skip this step) After the first day of keeping your lashes dry, daily cleansing is needed to keep any excess oil from building up, wash away any makeup from the day, and keep your set looking soft and fluffy. No build-up or oily lashes here!
- Avoid excessive heat like the air from an open oven or grill, or a blow dryer/hair straightener. Your lashes can and will singe. Steam like saunas, a hot tub or the dishwasher can loosen the curl of your extensions.
- Please do not pick or pull lashes. You can potentially cause damage to your natural eyelashes if you pick at them. Try not to sleep on your face, or get a silk pillowcase/eye mask to protect your lashes while you sleep. Lash extensions are glued to your natural lash. To get lash extensions put on, we need your natural lashes to be healthy and clean. Pulling or picking your extensions can damage the hair follicle it is attached to, resulting in poor retention and lash loss.
- Know that oil is the enemy! Your body is great at fighting off foreign things, like lashes! Your body does this by producing natural oils that can build up over time. Make sure you wash your lashes at least once a day to prevent buildup. Always use oil-free face care products.
- Saltwater is enemy #2. This includes the ocean water, pool water, tears and sweat! If you sweat or cry excessively, make sure to rinse off your lashes. When you're done with the pool or beach, make sure to rinse them off with clean water. This is to avoid the glue drying out and becoming brittle.
- Mascara is a huge no-no. Why? Because it causes your lash extensions to stick together and it is incredibly hard to remove from your lashes. Also, the ingredients can compromise the adhesion resulting in a premature lash loss. If you insist on wearing makeup with your lashes look for lash extension friendly brands, like our vivid black liquid eyeliner. With that said, wearing mascara on the bottom lashes is still a big no-no, as an alternate option, we offer bottom lash tinting.
- Grooming tools to avoid: eyelash curlers, blow dryers (mostly on the front of your face), curling irons, and other heat sourced grooming hair care products. This doesn't mean you can never style your hair, just be cautious when framing your face and try to use a cooler setting when close to your lashes.

Perming is for more than just kinky hair! We use perming solutions to create the perfect eyelash and brows. These services are lash lifts and brow lamination. Perms are great for quick results that last the life cycle of your hair and requires minimal maintenance. However, there are some key takeaways to follow when keeping up with your new low maintenance service.
- Avoid getting the area wet for 24-48 hours. Water can cause the perm to fall out.
- Avoid steam, saunas, or excessive heat as it can cause the perm to fall out.

It is normal to get this service repeated every 4-6 weeks. Some clients may be able to go longer without having the process repeated. The perm will last until the permed hairs have naturally been shed.
