Lash Extensions

Preparation

  • Come to your appointment without any eye makeup. Your lash artist will always clean your lashes prior to applying the lash extensions however, this is not removing makeup, which will take away from lash application time.
  • Avoid using waterproof mascara 2-3 days prior as it can leave a residue that may prevent lashes from adhering properly.
  • Avoid using sunscreens or moisturizers prior to your appointment.
  • Don’t curl your lashes prior to your appointment
  • If you have lash extensions currently from another salon you will need to schedule a required 15 minute consultation at the beginning of your lash extension appointment.
  • Use the restroom right before your appointment.
  • Bring music or a podcast to listen to!
  • Wear your glasses or remove your contacts prior to your appointment. We do provide solutions and cases if needed.
  • If you haven’t filled out the consent form prior to your appointment, come a little early to complete it.
  • If you have lash extensions currently from another salon you will need to schedule a required 15-minute consultation prior to booking your lash fill. The artist will need to assess how much time will be needed for the fill appointment. Sometimes the lashes may need to be completely removed and a new set put on. It is also harder to fill over another studio’s lashes and often requires a bit more time.
  • Brides: We suggest that you get your full set of lash extensions applied a minimum of a month ahead of time and then schedule one to two fill appointments before your wedding so that adjustments can be made and you get the exact look you want for your big day. Please don’t get extensions put on for the first time right before your wedding in case they are not exactly what you are envisioning or in case you have any type of reaction!

Aftercare

  • Don’t get your lash extensions wet for 12-24 hours.
  • Avoid hot showers (with steam), saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga or tanning beds for 48 hours.
  • Sleep on your back or side to avoid sleeping on the lashes.
  • Do not pull, twist or rub your lashes for the first 12-24 hours (or at all if possible).
  • Wash your lashes EVERYDAY, even if you don’t wear makeup. You can keep your lashes clean by washing them with our Lashology cleanser 1-2 times per day, especially after a workout.
  • Rinse your lashes as quickly as possible after crying, sweating or being exposed to salt water to avoid salt build-up.
  • Brush lashes gently as needed with the styling wand provided to you after your appointment. Don’t over brush your lashes, especially in the first 12-24 hours.
  • Our glue does NOT require that you keep them dry after the service. You may get them wet or workout immediately
  • Avoid oil and solvents around the lashes. This includes makeup removers, eye creams & face wash. This will help with your lash retention.
  • Do not use mascara or eyeliner. Any makeup that sits on your lash line will cause quicker fallout.
  • Don’t manually curl or perm your lash extensions.
  • Avoid cotton around your eyes, it will act like velcro to your lashes.

Lash Lift & Tint

Preparation

  • Remove contact lenses before your treatment. We provide solution and cases if needed.
  • Come to your appointment without any eye makeup.
  • Stop use of water- proof mascara 2 days prior to your appointment.
  • Avoid using waterproof mascara 2-3 days prior as it can leave a residue that may prevent lashes from lifting properly.
  • Avoid curling your natural lashes with a lash curler for 24 hours prior to your appointment.
  • Ensure that you do not have an eye infection or irritation of the eye area – as treatment cannot be performed until this has cleared up.

  • If you haven’t filled out the consent form prior to your appointment, come a little early to complete it.
  • We can not do a Lash Lift & Tint if you currently have extensions.

Aftercare

A Lash Lift is a very low maintenance procedure however there is a bit of care for the first 24 hours

  • Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid hot water, steam rooms & swimming for the first 24 hours.
  • No mascara for the first 24 hours & avoid waterproof mascaras in general.
  • Sleep on your back or side & keep your lashes off the pillow for the first 24 hours. Your lashes are prone to kinks during the first 24 hours after the procedure.
  • Wait at least 6 weeks until your next lift & tint appointment.
  • Avoid eyelash curlers as they may weaken and damage your lashes.
  • Do not touch or rub your eyes, eyelashes, or eyebrows immediately after the treatment.
  • If redness or irritation occurs, apply a cool damp cotton compress to the eye area. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours seek medical advice.
  • Be gentle with your lashes – no rubbing or pulling.
  • Remove eye makeup gently with non-oily remover.
  • Gently brush your lashes as needed with a lash brush.
  • Avoid any oils around your eyes for 2 days after treatment.
  • Conditioning your lashes will keep them healthy and prolong the life of your lash lift and tint. One week after treatment, brush on coconut or castor oil twice a week. If you are trying to grow your lashes castor oil can be brushed on nightly.

Aftercare
