Aftercare
Eyelash extensions enhance beauty with fuller, longer lashes, eliminating daily mascara needs. The two-hour application seamlessly blends extensions with natural lashes, defining luxury.
Maintaining clean lashes is essential for preventing infections and irritation in the delicate eye area. Cleanliness also extends the longevity of extensions by preventing makeup residue and oil build up, which can weaken the bond, prevent new growth and require more frequent appointments.
Prioritizing hygiene is vital for both aesthetics and health, ensuring your eyelash extensions remain luxurious and confidence-boosting.

How to Look After Eyelash Extensions
Avoid Water/steam for 24-48 Hours: After the application, refrain from getting your lashes wet for at least 24 to 48 hours to allow the adhesive to cure properly.
Gentle Cleansing: Use a lash-friendly cleanser or oil-free makeup remover to cleanse your lashes. Avoid rubbing or pulling on the extensions. A lint-free applicator is ideal for this process.
No Oil-Based Products: Steer clear of oil-based makeup and skincare products in the eye area. Oils can weaken the adhesive and shorten the lifespan of your extensions.
Brush Your Lashes: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes daily. This keeps them looking neat and prevents them from getting tangled.
Limit Eye Rubbing: Avoid rubbing your eyes as this can cause the extensions to come loose or fall out.
Schedule Regular Fills: To maintain the fullness of your lashes, book a fill appointment every 2-3 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and lifestyle.
Sleep on Your Back: If possible, try to sleep on your back to avoid crushing your lashes against the pillow. Contour lash masks are a great alternative if you sleep on your side or face.
Avoid Mascara: Generally, mascara is unnecessary with extensions and can cause clumping. If you feel the need to use mascara, opt for a water-based product designed specifically for eyelash extensions.
Consult Your Technician: Always consult with your lash technician for personalised aftercare advice, especially if you're unsure about products or techniques.
Following these guidelines will help maintain the integrity of your eyelash extensions and ensure they look beautiful for as long as possible.

Cleaning your eyelash extensions regularly is essential, even if you don’t wear makeup. Natural oils, dust, and environmental pollutants can accumulate on your eyelashes throughout the day. These substances can weaken the bond between the extensions and your natural lashes, leading to premature shedding.
Moreover, cleansing helps prevent dirt and bacteria build-up, which can potentially cause irritation or infection. A clean lash line promotes healthy natural lash growth and extends the lifespan of your extensions.
Incorporating a gentle lash cleanser into your routine ensures that your extensions remain in pristine condition, looking fresh and enhancing your overall appearance. Regular maintenance demonstrates a commitment to both the beauty of your lashes and the health of your eyes.

Cleaning your lashes is essential for maintaining their health and prolonging the life of your extensions. It is a common misconception that cleaning your lashes will cause more to fall out. In reality, natural lash shedding occurs regardless of whether you have extensions. This process can simply become more noticeable when extensions are applied.
Each eyelash has a growth cycle, and shedding is a normal part of that cycle. When you neglect to clean your lashes, the build-up of dirt, oil, and other products can block follicles, inhibiting the growth of new lashes. By regularly cleaning your lashes, you allow space for new growth, ensuring that your natural lashes remain healthy.
During a refill appointment, when I clean and prep your lashes, the existing extensions may untangle, causing some to fall out. This is a natural occurrence, as the old extensions can sometimes prevent the new lashes from emerging effectively. Regular maintenance and cleaning prevent this blocking and support the natural growth cycle, ultimately keeping your lash line looking full and fresh.

Regular refills are essential for maintaining the integrity and appearance of your lashes. Over time, natural shedding occurs, and without consistent refills, gaps can form, leading to a less polished look. A refill every few weeks ensures your lashes remain full and beautifully defined, enhancing your overall appearance.
Additionally, regular visits allow us to assess the health of your natural lashes. This proactive approach helps prevent any potential damage from overuse of lash extensions. Each session also provides an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns or adjustments, ensuring your experience aligns perfectly with your aesthetic goals.
In summary, committing to regular refills not only preserves the beauty of your lashes but also supports their health, making it a critical part of your lash care routine.

When the time comes to take a break from your eyelash extensions, it's crucial to return to your lash technician for the removal process. Professional removals ensure the health of your natural lashes. An experienced lash tech will use the appropriate products and techniques to safely dissolve the adhesive, preventing unnecessary damage to your natural lashes.
Attempting to remove extensions at home can result in pulling or breaking your natural lashes, leading to long-term issues. Additionally, a professional removal allows for a thorough examination of your lash line, ensuring that any potential concerns can be addressed promptly. Your lash technician can also provide personalised care recommendations, helping you maintain the health and integrity of your lashes during the break.
Ultimately, prioritising a professional removal protects your natural lashes while maintaining the relationship with your lash tech, who knows your lash history and can guide you on your next set’s ideal timing and style.
