Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are lash extensions?
Lash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic fibers that are individually attached to your natural eyelashes using a special adhesive. They are designed to enhance the length, curl and fullness of your natural eyelashes. Lash extensions can be customized and offer versatility to achieve any desired look.
-
How long do lash extensions last?
Lash extensions typically last through the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes, which is about 6 to 8 weeks. However, to maintain a healthy and full look, most people get touch-ups every 2 to 3 weeks. This helps to replace any extensions that have fallen out or grown out due to the natural growth and shedding phases of your natural lashes. Proper care and maintenance can also extend the life of your lash extensions.
-
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
It is not recommended to wear mascara with lash extensions. Here’s why:
- Mascara can cause the extensions to clump together and become tangled, which may lead to premature shedding of the lashes.
- Mascara residues can build up on the extensions, making them harder to clean properly.
- With properly applied lash extensions the desire to wear mascara should diminish. Eliminating the hassle of mascara application in the morning.
-
Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
When lash extensions are applied correctly by a professional, they should never damage your natural lashes. They are attached individually to each natural lash, rather than the skin and are designed to be lightweight to minimize strain or breakage. Proper maintenance and following aftercare instructions are essential for preserving the health of your natural lashes.

How long does the application take?
A lash extension application typically takes between 2 to 2.5 hours for a full set, and 1 to 1.5 hours for a refill and/or touch-up.
-
How often are fills recommended for lash extensions?
Fills for lash extensions are generally recommended every 2 to 3 weeks. This helps to maintain the health and fullness of the lashes as natural lashes shed and new ones grow in.
