FAQ's

ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS SAFE? Eyelash extensions will not harm or cause damage to your natural lashes. They are applied to your natural lashes about 1 mm away from your skin to be able to follow the growth of your own lashes. Applying eyelash extensions requires skill and precision. Extensions should only be applied by a certified and trained eyelash professional. Advanced education and lashing techniques are used to ensure your natural lash health remains intact and thriving.

HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST? Your natural eyelashes shed and go through a natural growth cycle. This cycle is predetermined by our genes, as well as our health and other factors. The average "lash life' is about 60 to 100 days and undergoes three growth phases. Your individual eyelash enters each phase at various times. When your natural eyelashes mature and fall out, new lashes have already started growing. Eyelash extensions are applied to the lashes that are in the middle growth phase because they can support the length and weight of the extensions, and will prolong the amount of time they will last without interrupting the health of new lashes. When properly applied and cared for, eyelash extensions will last between 3 to 5 weeks. As your own lashes shed, expect to lose some extensions as well. Please refer to the aftercare instructions on how to properly care for your lashes.
