Classic eyelashes are individually applied eyelash extensions, when one artificial eyelash is applied to one natural lash. We apply about 80-120eyelashes per eye, depending on the number of natural lashes you have.
The Russian Volume Technique (also known as 3D-6D lashes) This technique allows to adhere multiple number of finest grade artificial eyelashes to one natural lash. It is state-of-the-art technology, when several very thin separate extensions are picked manually into the lash fan and wrapped around the natural lash. Russian Volume technique helps us to achieve a fuller, denser and fluffier lash-line.

No, your extensions will fall out one at a time over several weeks in a subtle shedding process. In general, it is normal to lose 2-3 natural lashes daily from each eye.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What about infills?” tab_id=”1556855634634-272c1736-b15f”][vc_column_text]
Infills are like touch-ups for your extensions. Performed regularly, they’ll keep your lashes looking full and luscious. You may need them more or less often depending on how well you look after your extensions, your natural lash cycle, and the style of your initial set. Typically, clients get infills every2-3 weeks, some clients need (or want) to come every 2 weeks. These clients either have a somewhat faster growth cycle, are a little rougher on their lashes, or just prefer their lashes at maximum fullness. However, some clients prefer to replace their full set every 4-6 weeks.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How long do the extensions last for?” tab_id=”1556855685432-0620bb1c-7f26″][vc_column_text]
How long your extensions last depend on your personal lash shed and aftercare. As your natural lashes grow and shed, the extensions will grow and shed with them. In most situations with the good aftercare around 2-3 weeks you must have about 40-50% of eyelashes remaining – and this time is perfect to do the infill. If you decide not to have one – the last lash might fall off after 6-8 weeks. However, after 4 weeks they will start looking sparse.

Wash your lashes daily (after the initial 24 hours) – once or twice a day. That is the regular hygiene each lash customer should follow. We recommend using lash shampoo and the brush. Apply the sufficient amount of lash shampoo to your lash line or the brush, move the brush from the lids towards the ends of your extensions brushing downwards. Rinse properly after.

Yes, you can choose a half set when you are short on time and want to have some eyelashes done or when you have few natural eyelashes. Please note that we do not infill half-set lashes after 3 weeks. Also, please take into consideration that depending on the amount of the natural lashes you have, the coverage of half-set will be 50-60% only.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I spray tan with my lash extensions?” tab_id=”1557301910894-5bcaf15a-d92f”][vc_column_text]Spray tan before lash appointment
We recommend you have a spray tan done 48 hours prior to the lash appointment. Tanning solution needs time to cure on the skin to give you the desire glow. This process take anywhere between 8-16 hours before you take the first shower to rinse away the excess tan and the stickiness if any remaining.
Clean lashes before your appointment will result in the best retention. We always emphasized on the important of aftercare. However prepping before your appointment is equally important.
Spray tan after lash appointment
You want to schedule the spray tan after 24 hour or more after your lash appointment. This will ensure the adhesive is fully cured.
Let your spray tan esthetician know and be careful around the lashes area. Some places would provide goggles to protect the lashes which is awesome! If not the esthetician will need to carefully work around them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Are there risks associated with lash extensions?” tab_id=”1557301940988-ab66a56e-4bdf”][vc_column_text]Although eyelash extension treatments are not contra-indicated (non invasive as it does not come in contact with the skin) with any application a very small percentage of clients will have an allergic reaction.
