How long a set lasts, when to come back for a fill, and the one kind of mascara to avoid.
I provide semi-permanent eyelash extensions, meaning that even though the adhesive lasts the entire life of the client's lash cycle (up to 3 months), the natural lash will eventually shed, causing them to need a new application on the new growth.
When you will need a fill:
Most clients will find that they require touch ups (fills) every 4 weeks if they would like to maintain a full, thick set of lashes. There are various ways to perform fills. While others will just tack on more lashes, I remove the extensions that have grown out or became dislodged, and replace them with fresh, new eyelash extensions so you can count on results as good as the first set.
Makeup and mascara:
Yes, absolutely. Because of the effect of eyelash extensions, many clients find they no longer need eyeliner or mascara. If you would still like to wear mascara for extra oomph on the weekends or those nights out, make sure that it is only a water-based mascara — not waterproof — that compliments your extensions without shortening the life of your new lashes.
Curling and perming:
Curling or perming eyelash extensions is not recommended or necessary. The lashes come already permanently pre-curled, so we can find the right curl for you at your appointment.
