Welcome to Lash Addict Studio! We know you’re excited to get your lash extensions done, but we also understand that you might have some questions before your appointment. In this blog post, we’re going to answer some of the most common lash extension FAQs that we receive.
What Are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions are synthetic or mink fibers that are attached to your natural eyelashes using semi-permanent glue. They’re different from false lashes, which are typically applied in a strip or individual pieces and are meant to be worn for a single day. Lash extensions, on the other hand, can last between 4-6 weeks before needing a fill with proper care.
The benefits of lash extensions are numerous. For one, you won’t have to apply mascara every day (or at all, if you prefer a more natural look). They also make your eyes appear bigger and more awake. Plus, they can save you time in your daily makeup routine.
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?
The lifespan of lash extensions can vary depending on the person’s natural lash growth and how well they take care of their extensions. Typically, lash extensions last between 4-6 weeks before they need to be filled in. At Lash Addict Studio, we recommend coming in for a fill every 2-3 weeks to maintain your extensions.
What’s the Process Like?
The process of getting lash extensions done can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on the type of lashes you’re getting (natural, volume, or mega volume). At Lash Addict Studio, we take pride in ensuring our clients are comfortable and relaxed during their appointment. We’ll begin with a consultation by going over what you are interested in and going over shapes and lengths to match you and your eyes. After consultation, we’ll have you lie down with your eyes closed while we apply the extensions to your natural lashes using a non-toxic adhesive. We’ll also make sure that the lashes we choose are the right length and thickness for your natural lashes.
How Do I Prepare for My Lash Extension Appointment?
Before your appointment, it’s important to avoid wearing eye makeup and using any oil-based products around your eyes. Caffeine and other stimulants should also be avoided as they can cause your eyes to twitch, making the application process more difficult. At Lash Addict Studio, we recommend that you come to your appointment with clean lashes and eyes.
Can I Still Wear Makeup With Lash Extensions?
Now, one of the most lash extension FAQs is, can I still wear makeup? The answer is yes, but you have to be careful with the type of makeup you use. Lash extensions work to give you a natural look, and you do not want to ruin this by using the wrong products.
Firstly, avoid ANY oil-based makeup products, as these can break down the adhesive bond and cause the extensions to fall out faster. Instead, opt for water-based makeup products, which are less likely to interfere with the adhesive bond. Additionally, avoid using mascara, as it can clump the lashes together and cause them to fall out.
At Lash Addict Studio, we recommend using our specially designed lash extension-safe products. We offer a range of products that are safe to use with lash extensions and will not harm them. You can consult with our experts to select the products that will work best for your specific lashes.
How Do I Take Care of My Lash Extensions?
Taking care of your lash extensions is crucial to ensure they last as long as possible. Firstly, avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on the extensions, as this can cause them to fall out. If you need to clean them, use a lash cleanser and gently dab the area with a makeup brush. To dry, using a fan and or air drying is also a good option. Making sure they are clean can help with retention and your lashes last longer.
Additionally, avoid using any oil-based products near the extensions, as this can weaken the adhesive bond. If you need to use moisturizer, use an oil-free formula and apply it carefully around the extensions. Also, do NOT use an eyelash curler, as it can damage the extensions.
At Lash Addict Studio, we offer a range of aftercare products that are specifically designed to maintain your lash extensions. Our experts will recommend the best products for you and will provide you with all the necessary instructions for aftercare.
Can I Get My Lash Extensions Wet?
Another common question is whether you can get your lash extensions wet. The answer is yes, but you need to be careful. We recommend avoiding water for the first 24 hours after your lash extension appointment to allow the adhesive to bond fully. After this, you can shower and swim with care, but avoid rubbing or pulling on the extensions.
At Lash Addict Studio, we provide detailed instructions on how to care for your lashes after your appointment, including how to handle them around water. We want to ensure that your lash extensions last as long as possible, and following our instructions will help you achieve this.
