Aftercare

Lash Extensions are semi-permanent enhancements to your natural beauty.  You can do a few things at home to extend their life!

• You may wet your extensions the day of application but please do not do a deep clean until the next day.

  • You may work out as usual or cry but please rinse with water afterward.

• Avoid oil based products (and those containing petroleum) near your eyes. Please do not moisturize below your brows! Moisturizing your eyelids will significantly reduce the lifespan of your lash extensions. Light eye cream on the under eye area may be alright but let your lash tech know what product you intend to use.

• Do not use waterproof eye makeup or mascara.

• Do not rub or pick lashes.

• Do clean lashes with a mild lash cleanser and soft, fluffy brush (2-3x a week or as often as every day if you wear eye make up or makeup on your eyelids) and right before your touch up appointment. You will be given a lash cleanser and cleansing brush at your first appointment.

• Recommended professional lash cleanser formulated for lash extensions is the Lash Cure.

  • Not cleaning your lashes can lead to serious infections such as blepharitis which can cause long term damage to your root and premature shedding.

  • Not cleaning your lashes will result in poor retention as the dirt, oil and makeup sitting on the adhesive will break it down faster.

  • Cleaning your lashes will improve your retention and improve the coverage your lash tech gives you! I will have more time to apply lashes (rather than cleaning them and working around dirt and makeup).

  • Your hair follicles need to breath and build up of sebum and flakes of skin is accelerated by wearing lash extensions. Getting into a habit of cleaning them often will avoid uncomfortable and dangerous infections.

• Do brush lashes twice a day from the top (a few extensions may pop off - this is normal).

• We shed 3-5 natural lashes a day so do not be alarmed if you see your natural lash fall out. They will be more noticeable with the extensions.

• Do clean off all makeup every night using oil-free removers or toner on a q-tip. Be careful not to rub lashes as the fibres will get stuck! I wipe makeup off with a makeup wipe and then use the fluffy brush and lash cleanser to cleanse the eye area.

• Don’t be afraid to get lashes sweaty or to swim or cry with them - just rinse them off when you have a chance.

• Be careful to avoid extreme heat such as lighting cigarettes, cigars, etc. and the hot blast of air when you open an oven or barbecue.

  • If you blow dry them only do so on the low, cool setting.

• Prebook your 2 week touch up as soon as possible - grown out lashes will begin to twist if you wait too long and will be considered a full set.

• Touch up appointments are to be done at 2 weeks. Less than 40% remaining will be priced as a full set.

• Touch ups after day 21 are considered a new set.

How To Wash your Lash Extensions

Wet lashes and apply one pump of Lash Cure to each eye. Have your soft fluffy eyeshadow brush ready. Brush in a buffing motion along your eyelids, side to side along lash line, a sweeping downward motion to get between lashes at the root and with eyes closed - underneath the lash line. Let the process take more than a minute so that the cleanser has time to break down skin oils and debris. Rinse with wet brush and then with a stream of water. Ideally, you would do this in the shower. Let air dry or blow dry on a low cool setting Brush with your spoolie to detangle and reshape lashes.
