I had eyelash extensions before and they lasted nearly 8 weeks, where as these have only lasted 2-3 weeks, Why is this?

Natural lashes grow in cycles, therefore lashes that are applied correctly will only last as long as the persons lash cycle, which is generally 2-4 weeks. When extensions last longer it is usually a sign of a poor set of extensions with too much glue being used and poor isolation causing multiple lashes to be stuck together, which inhibits the natural shedding patterns of eyelash extensions.  A good set of extensions will grow and shed with 2-4 weeks being the average time your lashes will look their best.

Why cant I get my Eyelash Extensions wet for 24 hours after my appointment?

Exposing your eyelash extensions to any moisture, such as steam, high humidity or water, will result in the lash glue over-curing and becoming brittle, this will then result in your extensions falling off within a few days. It is vital you follow this rule in order to get maximum retention after your lash appointment.

If eye lash extensions are applied correctly by a trained professional then no damage should occur. Trained lash artists should be able to assess your natural lashes and create a bespoke set using the correct lengths and weights you can wear without causing any damage. You should be able to comb through your individual lash extensions with no lashes stuck together. Your extensions should also feel weightless and soft and never cause you any pain or irritation.

Why do you not offer Eyelash Extensions as a mobile treatment?

The advanced adhesives used require a specific temperature and humidity to cure, the curing of the glue is what makes the extensions stick to the natural lashes. Ensuring you control the temperature and humidity of the lash room ensures you are giving the eyelash extensions the best possible chance of long lasting retention. You cannot control the environment offering lash extensions mobile, which is why this treatment is only offered from the beauty base.

What are Infills?

At an infill we remove extensions that have grown out and twisted, and replace extensions that have naturally shed with your natural lashes. Infills keep your lashes looking as thick and full as possible and are required every 2-3 weeks due to the natural hair growth cycle.

What is the hair growth cycle?

Testimonials

Follow us on Instagram

Our bodies naturally shed hair daily due to the hair growth cycle, so like the hair on your head, our bodies also shed eyelashes. Our bodies shed approximately 2-5 natural eyelashes per eye, per day. If you average this out at 3 lashes per day and you applied approximately 100 extensions to the suitable natural lashes on each eye then you would loose approximately:
After 7 days you would have lost 21 extensions
After 14 days you would have lost 42 extensions
After 21 days you would have lost 63 extensions

How long do eyelash extensions last?

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent if regular infills are maintained; this is due to the hair growth cycle.

Why are eyelash extensions so expensive?

Testimonials

Follow us on Instagram

Applying a set of eyelash extensions is a very intricate skill that should only be done by a highly trained and skilled professional. Lash techs work on the delicate eye area with sharp tweezers and strong adhesives, medical grade quality adhesives to be precise and so are expensive to purchase. The individual isolation of every suitable natural lash requires skill and time, with infills and full sets taking anywhere from 1-3 hours to complete, therefore this is not a speedy or cheap treatment for the therapist to offer.

Eyelash extensions are single individual synthetic eyelashes that are attached to your natural lashes, one lash at a time.  An eyelash artist carefully applies each individual extension to the natural eyelash creating fuller, thicker, longer lashes.

Eye lash extensions come in a vast array of lengths, thicknesses and curls meaning that a bespoke set of lashes can be created for each individual client. Eyelash extensions give you the opportunity to frame your face, enhance the eye area, and are perfect for glamorous events, holidays, or every day wear.
