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
(fill-in) to your own eyelashes as your eyelash growth cycle regenerates 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:
- Do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours after the lash extensions are applied unless expressly told otherwise.
- Avoid steam from showers, facials, saunas and swimming pools.
- 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
- Avoid using oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye, including mascara and makeup remover.
- No mascara on the extensions.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes, especially when washing your face.
- Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes. If you would like more curl, please speak to your technician.
- If you can, sleep on your back to avoid the risk of lashes rubbing against your pillow.
- Gently cleanse lashes DAILY with an approved lash cleanser and non snag brush. Do not use Q-tips, wash cloths, or cotton rounds as the fibers could pull on and damage the lashes.
- No pulling your lashes, and do not attempt to remove them yourself. If you would like them removed, please contact your technician.
If you experience any pain, redness or irritation, contact your technician immediately.
