How do eyelash extensions work?
Once you decide on the size and shape of your lash extensions, you will lie back and close your eyes as the esthetician will prepare you for the application process. That includes laying down some protective padding over your lower set of lashes and ensuring that you are calm, still, and collected.
As that process is about to begin, you will need to lie very still. The esthetician will be doing delicate work on your upper set of lashes, placing each lash extension separately. Each one is tipped with a special cosmetic adhesive before it’s attached to one of your existing eyelashes. The process can be slightly different depending on the style of your extensions.
You will be given a variety of choices when selecting the lash extensions you want, including the materials used in their manufacturing and the curl type of the extension for that perfect lash lift. Our expert stylists work with you and your eye shape to enhance facial features and extenuate your beauty.
How long do lash extensions last?
The natural growth cycle of an eyelash is roughly six weeks. That means you can expect your extensions to remain in place for that length of time.
How to make eyelash extensions last longer?
You can extend the life of your volume lashes by taking some precautions and practicing routine maintenance to keep them looking and feeling their best.
If this is your first time having semi-permanent eyelash extensions applied, be advised that it might take you a day or two to get used to the feeling of having them attached to your natural lashes. You may feel the urge to pick at them or play with them. Do not. You can damage the extensions.
We do suggest that you brush your lashes every day. This may feel strange at first but once you get the hang of it, this will feel as natural as brushing your hair daily. Your esthetician will guide you on how to comb your new lashes to achieve the best lash lift daily. This doesn't take very long and it will really help to maintain the condition of your eyelash extensions.
You should also watch how you sleep. Try to sleep on your back as rolling over to your side or your stomach can damage your eyelash extensions and shorten their lifespan. Propping your head up to keep it elevated can help you remain on your back throughout the night.
Be very careful how you wash and clean your face. Be gentle when you're washing with a cleanser and do your best to avoid the eyes altogether. Keep this in mind when you are drying your face with a towel or washcloth to keep your lask lift looking amazing. Showering with your eyelashes is easier to do but you should be careful not to keep them under the showerhead and don't remain in a hot, steaming shower for very long.
Finally, make-up and skincare products should also be carefully considered. Avoid any oily face creams or make-up removers and if you need to apply eye creams or ointments, do it in the morning. Going to bed with these products around your eyes threatens to allow them to seep into your lashes.
How long does it take to get eyelash extensions?
A typical application of a full set of extensions can last around two hours. Fill-in appointments are usually shorter at thirty minutes to an hour, depending on how much work needs to be performed. Your Carlsbad, CA lash lift will also vary in time based on the service you choose. Clients may need a bit more time for volume and hybrid sets versus classic lash extensions. The number of lashes you wish to apply will determine how long the appointment will take to finish.
This is because eyelash application is a slow and delicate procedure. The esthetician has to work carefully and remain detail-oriented in attaching each extension to your natural eyelash. So please understand that you will be in our office for an extended period of time. Take the opportunity to rest, relax, and know that, when the process is complete, your eyelashes are going to look amazing.
How to prepare for your first appointment?
There are three things to remember on the day of your eyelash service in Carlsbad, CA.
- The first is to keep your face completely free of make-up like mascara or eyeliners, and do not apply any oily skin creams or eye creams before you arrive for volume lashes. Your skin should be bare so as not to interfere with the efficacy of the adhesive. Leave your eyelashes clean and uncurled. You don’t want any creasing or curling to hinder a firm attachment of your long-lasting extensions.
- The second is to relax. Block out enough time in your schedule so you will be calm and relaxed during the application process. This is not a procedure that can be rushed, and we recommend coming a bit early to settle down. If you are anxious about missing the next appointment on your schedule, it will be harder for our lash artists to secure the extensions to your lashes as you will start to fidget and worry about being late.
- If your appointment is in the morning, you may wish to avoid any stimulants such as coffee that might make you jittery or edgy. You may not think you’re feeling the effects of the coffee, but it will be evident in your eyelids. They will twitch and even the slightest movement can hinder the application process. Talk to your Carlsbad, CA esthetician if you have extremely sensitive eyes to ensure your appointment is a total success!
