Mink eyelash extensions are semi permanent and last 3-4 weeks.
Why use eyelash extensions?
They are a semi permanent way to enhance your eyes – without makeup. Imagine: No more mascara and no raccoon eyes. Whether dramatic and voluptuous or voluminous and natural looking, everyone will ask you “What mascara are you using?” Lash extensions will have you waking up singing Beyonce, “I woke up like this”! In approximately an hour and a half, you can have the lashes you’ve always wanted.
What makes our lashes different?
I use only mink lashes, which imitate mink fur. I meticulously apply a single lash to each of your own real eyelashes – creating a dramatic or natural effect – without mascara or bulky strips. They last up to 3-4 weeks and then like nails, require a fill.
Why choose us?
I have been trained by one of the best in the business – Tracey from CandyLashes. I use only high quality product to ensure that the final look is exactly what you want. There are many other eyelash extension places, but please remember (as with most esthetics) you get what you pay for. Yes, they may cost less, but they are using an inferior product that actually CAN damage your lashes.
Preparing for your first appointment
Since eyelash extensions are relatively new to North America, many people wonder what they can expect at their first appointment.
• Keep an hour and a half open. This gives enough time to apply the lashes and go over your after care
• Any makeup you happen to be wearing will be removed. Thoroughly. If you’re not wearing makeup, that’s fine too.
• Yes, there will be tweezers near your eyes. Remember, I’ve been trained and have done this a million times. If you’re nervous, please, speak up so I can help put your mind at ease.
• You will lay down on the bed with your eyes closed. I will apply an under eye treatment while I apply your lashes. Many people find it relaxing, like a facial.
Myth vs. facts
Myth: Eyelash extensions make your eyelashes fall out
Fact: Your eyelashes fall out anyway. Just like the hair on your head, they have a life cycle of 4-6 weeks. Most of the time, we don’t notice them falling out because they are fine and small.
Myth: Eyelash extensions hurt
Fact: Nothing about the process hurts. You may have an anxiety about someone being near your eyes, but there is no pain involved in the process. If you’ve had them done before and experienced pain, someone wasn’t doing it right.
Myth: Your eyelashes will never grow back
Fact: Our hair goes through a 4-6 week growth cycle. You need to get a “fill” every 3-4 weeks. We use the new lash growth to attach extensions to. If the lashes didn’t grow back, we’d have nothing to fill.
Myth: After stopping extensions, your lashes will be thinner/shorter
Fact: Many people feel that after getting extensions their eyelashes are shorter/thinner. It is essentially an optical illusion. Sort of like “if you shave your legs the hair will grow back thicker”. (Yes, that’s an old wives tale too)
Caring for your lashes
Always remember: ABC
A. Avoid oil based products and any oils near your eyes.
B. Brush with a dry mascara brush every day.
C. Clean your lash line daily
Lastly, avoid hard to remove or waterproof makeup (ie. Eyeliner and eye shadow) and do NOT pick or pull at your eyelashes.
