Looking to get lash extensions or just curious about what the lash artist is doing while your eyes are closed? Our guide takes you through every step of the lash extension process. You’ll have a basic understanding of what to expect when you step into our salon.
Consultation
We start with in-depth consultation with one of our skilled lash technicians, who will help you choose the perfect lash style to enhance your natural beauty. We’ll walk you through the preparation process, ensure your lashes are clean and ready for your beauty glow-up. After we decided what kind of style you want, we start the eyelash preparation.
Lash Preparation
We start by taping your bottom lashes so they do not stick to your top ones during the application process. Then, if necessary, the lash artist will clean your lash extensions with our gentle foam cleanser. After cleaning, they will prime your lashes which will strip the oils from your lashes so that the extensions can adhere to your natural lashes easier. Now that your lashes are all prepped, the lash artist will start the application process.
Lash Application
The lash artist will isolate a single natural lash from the rest of your lashes, so they do not stick together when the glue is applied (many lash artists skip this important part that damages your lashes). Once they have properly isolated one of your lashes, they will glue an extension to it. They will repeat this for the rest of your lashes! Once they’re finished, they will give you a mirror to see your brand new beautiful lashes.
Lash Extension Aftercare
The lash artist should let you know about the aftercare:
- Avoid oil based products especially around the eye.
- Avoid all eye make-up, especially mascara.
- Wash your lashes with a cleaser made specifically for lash extensions.
- Remember to book for fills if you want to maintain your lash extensions!
