Your lash extensions are attached to your own individual eyelashes, and will shed as your natural lashes shed. Maintaining your lash extensions will require regular visits to attach new extensions (refills) to your own eyelashes as your eyelash growth cycle regenerated new lashes.
With a few simple care instructions you will be on your way to enjoying your luscious long lashes.
Before your appointment: If you use waterproof mascara, avoid using it 2-3 days before your first appointment. The film it leaves on your lashes may prevent the extensions from adhering correctly. Arrive to your appointment with dry, clean lashes and makeup-free eyes. Remove contact lenses before your appointment.
During the initial 24-48 hours after your appointment: You may get your lashes wet, but we recommend that you are gentle with cleaning and brushing. Avoid steam from showers, facials, saunas and swimming pools. Avoid getting moisture around the eye area when washing face, showering, etc. Avoid tanning beds for 48 hours after application. Avoid chemical peels, waxing or laser treatments around the eyes.
General guidelines to extend the life of your lashes: To increase the longevity of your lashes, it is advised to avoid moisture and touching as much as possible. Avoid using oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye, including mascara and makeup remover. Avoid water mascara. If you can, it is between not to use any mascara at all. You may find you don't even need it! Avoid running water over your face. Moisture will break down the bond of glue. Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes, especially when washing your face. It is recommended to clean around the eye area with a washcloth or cotton swab (Q-tip). Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes. If yo would like more curl, please speak to your technician.

If you would like them removed, please contact your technician. If you experience and pain, redness or irritation; contact your technican immediately.
