The Beauty of Lash Extensions

The Ultimate Guide to Eyelash Extensions

Despite the fact that there are a lot of beauty products out there, eyelash extensions are something everyone can appreciate. They make you feel more glamorous than you thought possible. We are determined to customize each set to fit you and your lifestyle. Eyelash extensions are the perfect way to enhance your natural eyelashes without mascara or strip false lashes.

What are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are lightweight mink lashes applied directly onto natural lashes using a semi-permanent adhesive by a professional lash artist. 

Types of Eyelash Application

- CLASSIC LASHES
Classic lashes involve applying a single lash extension onto each individual natural lash. Classic lashes are perfect for clients who have a lot of lashes, but want to add more length. Classic lashes are perfect for those who prefer a more natural look. 
- WET MASCARA LASHES
Wet Mascara set will give you volume and length, resulting in a wispy, textured lash extension look.
- VOLUME LASHES
Volume lashes are lighter, fluffier, and give the client a fuller look. They are great for weddings, special occasions, and especially amazing for people with very sparse lash lines.
- MEGA VOLUME LASHES
Mega volume lash extensions is the use of multiple extremely fine false lashes applied onto a single healthy natural eyelash. These micro-extensions are so extremely light that we are able to safely apply MANY to each natural lash.

How Do You Take Care of Eyelash Extensions?

  • Brush and groom your lashes gently with a disposable mascara wand.
  • We recommend sleeping on your back and keeping your lashes away from the pillow as the friction will affect retention. Having silk pillowcases will help with longevity.
  • Never allow shower water to beat directly on your extensions. Constant pressure on the extensions can cause them to "pop" off or wear off sooner than normal.
  • Do not get your lashes wet for the first 6 hours after having them done.
  • Do NOT use a spa, sauna or pool for the first 24 hours. The adhesive needs that time to properly bond the extension to the natural lash.
  • Avoid brushing your lashes when wet. It’s best to dry the lashes by using a cool fan and blowing them dry from the bottom up to keep them curly and fluffy.
  • Do not rub, pick, pull, or twist your extensions.
  • Never use oil-based products or oil makeup removers on or around the eye area as this will dissolve the adhesive and ruin your extensions.
  • Never use mascara on your extensions as this will shorten the lifespan of your extensions, cause clumping, and dissolve the adhesive.
  • Book regular fills to maintain the fullness and natural look of your extensions.
  • Cleanse your eyelash extensions several times per week, if not daily, with our Lash Cleanser; a water-based non-irritating lash cleanser.

Do Eyelash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes?  

Ideally, eyelash extensions are meant to boost the look of your natural lashes. Please find an experienced Beautician to apply extensions.


Some of the most common mistakes that can lead to the damage of your natural lashes are:

  • Using extra long lashes that your natural lashes cannot handle
  • Using too much adhesive or the wrong adhesive 
  • Pulling or picking your lashes
  • Lashes are glued together
  • Improper application

Do Eyelash Extensions Hurt?

This is a common question when it is your first time getting lash extensions. When the professional is performing lash application, it should be a breeze from the beginning to end. 


Some factors that can cause the eyes or lash line to hurt are:

  • Eyelash extensions are glued onto the skin
  • Some glues have more fumes than others
  • An eyelash falls into your eyes
  • Eyelash extensions are not isolated properly
  • Clumps of lashes are stuck together
