Q: What should I do prior to my appointment?
A:
Try to arrive without any eye makeup and do not curl your lashes that day. However, if it's not possible, fear not! We have all we need in-lounge to get you prepped for pretty!

Q: How should I care for my lashes?
A:
{ first 24 hours } Avoid showering, steam rooms, massages and facials after lash application. Do not wet the lashes and absolutely no crying!

{ after 24 hours }
• Use a pointed cotton swab and an oil-free makeup remover (we like ours best <3) to keep your eyes clean. It’s also a great way to remove your eye makeup.
• The NO-NO’s: no curling your lashes, no mascara, no smooshing your face on your pillow, & no eyemasks.
• Use a facecloth to wash your face - also great for a gentle daily exfoliation.
• Avoid facing the shower. They’re waterproof, but not jet-spray-in-your-face-proof.
• Use a headband when you’re hitting the gym or working up a sweat. Not only is it oh-so-trendy, but it also prevents sweat from dripping into your eyes. Longer lashes catch water and draw them into the eyes. Ask a friend who lived with real long lashes all her life. Yeah we're jealous too.
• Should they “shift” use tweezers to adjust them back into place. Best is after a shower and let them dry in “position”
• Hold down your lashes when you’re getting your eyebrows threaded. Sometimes those suckers get caught in the thread. Ouch! -
Q: I just had my lashes applied, why did a few fall off immediately?
A:
During the application, we can't tell which ones are at the beginning or end of their growth cycle. If we happen to apply it onto an eyelash that's near its demise (so to speak) then we sadly are unable to resuscitate that poor lash

Q: How do I make my lashes last as long as they possibly can?
A:
Avoid wearing makeup - dirt and grime can disintegrate the glue and many eyeliners are oil-based. This isn't to say DON'T, but keeping the lashes free of oil and dirt will definitely add to their longevity. We recommend using Geisha Ink Liquid Eyeliner and powder eyeshadows, not creams. Our lash extender coating is also available. They add a glossy, clear layer to protect the lashes and should be applied daily.

Q: Do lash extensions cause your lashes to fall out?
A:
The application of lash extensions will not cause hair loss, nor will it cause eyelashes to fall out. However, if you pull them out, well, then... you've pulled them out! Remember that your natural lashes have their own life cycle of falling and growing - like the hair found elsewhere on your body. It's just hard to notice small lashes falling out, but when attached to a thicker, longer lash it's hard not to notice! And of course, once the extensions are removed, your own eyes may appear smaller, your natural lashes, shorter and sparser because you've been accustomed to a full set of longer, thicker lashes! Some use extensions for special occasions, others are addicts for life - use at your discretion.

Q: Some of the lashes fell out, what do I do?
A:
You can either put up with it (really no one notices but you!), come in for a fill or have them all removed.

Q: How long do the lashes last?
A:
Everyone's different. Lash virgins last two to four weeks, some even longer, but regular users last up to four to eight weeks.

Q: Are eyelash extensions addictive?
A:
Technically no. However, you may kinda sorta fall in love with your reflection. So you may develop an addiction to looking in the mirror. However, the extensions themselves do not contain additives that are addictive.
