BEFORE YOU LASH


WHAT TO EXPECT?


Depending on your desired Lash application the procedure could take anywhere from 60 minutes to 2 hours. The process of applying individual Eyelash Extensions is relaxing, so let all your cares and worries melt away and don’t worry if you fall asleep because it’s that relaxing.


WASH UP!


A Clean eye area is essential when applying Eyelash Extensions and we ask that you arrive to your appointment eye makeup free.
•    No mascara the day of your appointment.
•    No eyeliner the day of your appointment


AFTER YOU LASH


KEEP IT DRY!


For the first 24 hours it is recommended that you do not get the eye area wet because the glue is still drying. We advise washing your face with a damp cloth, and avoid all showers, saunas, steam rooms, intense workouts and facials. Instead, try a warm bath or wash your face with a damp cloth moving gently around the eye area but without touching your Eyelash Extensions.


EYE MAKEUP


After the first 48 hours you can return to your normal makeup regime, even mascara. However, you cannot wear any waterproof mascara or other waterproof eye makeup products because it will greatly reduce the life of your eyelash extensions.


HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?


Eyelash Extensions last between 4-6 weeks depending on the set amount you received. They will look full and plush for the first 2-3 weeks. 


RELASH


If you wish to keep up the appearance of your Eyelash Extensions you will need to have a refill every 3 weeks for individual lash extensions and every 5 weeks for Russian volume lash extensions.  This will maintain your eyelash extension fullness.
