1. Confirm your appointment
Lash Addict Studio sends you a text or an email confirming your appointment one day in advance. Please respond, even if you have already spoken with someone from the team. We can then make sure that everything is ready for your visit.
Now is the perfect time to change or reschedule your appointment. Double-check the time of your appointment and plan your route, whether you are driving, walking or taking public transport. On time arrival sets the mood for a relaxed and calm experience.
2. Skip the coffee before you begin
It’s tempting to have a latte just before an appointment, but we urge you to skip the caffeine for at least four hours prior. Caffeine may make it difficult for you to relax, and your eyes might flutter unintentionally. It can be difficult for the lash artist applying your extensions to do so precisely and comfortably.
Come calm and well-rested to get the best results.
3. Avoid wearing strip lashes or false lashes
You might think it’s a great idea to bring your favorite strip lashes to use as a guide, but we ask that you come with a completely clean lashline. Strip lash adhesive is sticky and hard to remove. It can also leave residues on your natural lashes, making it difficult to apply extensions.
It’s best to arrive without makeup on your eyes to ensure that we can work for the entire appointment.
4. Arrive Early
Arrive about five to ten minutes before the scheduled time. You can fill out the consultation form and relax while you get to know your surroundings. Your lash artist may even get an early start if they are prepared.
Arriving early will help you relax and shake off any nerves before your appointment.
5. Remove eye makeup before leaving the house
For eyelash extensions to adhere properly, the surface must be clean and free of oil. We’ll remove any eyeliner or mascara you may have worn before we start. Lash Addict Studio is equipped with all the necessary tools to safely remove makeup. However, by cleaning your eyes prior to your appointment your lash artist will be able spend more time on applying your lashes and less time prepping.
Be thorough. Even leftover eyeliner will interfere with the adhesive. If you have any questions about how to best clean your eyelashes before future appointments, we’re always happy to assist.
6. You should know what to expect on your first visit
The first appointment for lash extensions can take anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours depending on your style and desired fullness. Your lash artist will work their magic while you relax in a recliner. Many people find it incredibly relaxing, and some even take a short nap.
The artist will first analyze your natural lashes before discussing the look you want. We’ll help you choose the right set for your eye shape, preferences and desired look.
7. Communication Is Key
Speak up! Your lash stylist is there to help you get the look you want. We’re happy make recommendations for you based on the style that best suits your natural lashes and lifestyle.
Some popular styles include:
- Natural : A little definition and curl
- Doll eye: longer lashes at the center to create an open-eyed appearance
- Cat Eye : Longer outer corner lashes for a sultry look
- Wispy : A mixture of lengths to add texture and fluffiness
