Eyelash Extensions

About the Procedure

Eyelash extensions are temporary, but can create dramatic changes in the fullness and length of eyelashes for clients in as little as an hour. Extensions give individuals with sparse eyelashes instant results and an enhanced look to the entire face, making eyes look more open younger, and rejuvenated. Although they typically don't last for more than 3-5 weeks, lash extensions give clients an alternative to treatments such as Latisse that take months to have an effect or eyelash implants that can be too expensive for some. Before extensions can be applied, the area will be cleansed to remove and makeup, oil or dirt that may affect the quality of the extensions. Next, a protective tape is applied over the lower lashes to ensure they do not interfere with the extension process. Individual lash extensions are then dipped in an adhesive and placed on individual lashes just above the root. Depending on the look desired, 25-80 lashes will be applied per eye. Most commonly used materials for eyelash extensions are mink, faux mink, sable, silk, and synthetic.
