Eyelash Extensions FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a Light Set Eyelash extension and a Full Set Eyelash Extension?
A: A Light set eyelash extension is created to offer a more natural and lighter alternative to a Full set. It's good if you've never gotten extensions before and want to try it out but don't want to pay the full price of a full set. It is literally half the density of a full set.The best way to explain it is, lets say your eye has 100 natural eyelash hairs. A full set would have extensions glued to all 100 hairs. A light set would only have 50 extensions glued making it lighter and more natural.
Q: Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
A: Eyelash extensions will not damage the natural lashes. We are trained to carefully isolate your lashes one by one and we use lash lengths that will suit your natural lashes. Once you have removed your extensions, you will have been accustomed to your extensions and it will seem like your natural lashes are shorter or sparser . Do not be alarmed, those are really your natural lashes.
Q: Can I wear mascara or curl my lash extensions?
A:Please do not wear mascara on your eyelash extensions or curl your lashes. The purpose of having eyelash extensions is so that there is no need to wear mascara or curl your lashes. Mascara can cause buildup on your extensions and will be harder to clean. Curling your extensions with a lash curler can crimp and damage the extensions.
Q: How long does a full set of eyelash extensions take?
A: Depending on what kind of set you want to get and how much natural lashes you have, it can range anywhere from 1 1/2hr to 2 hrs. Eyelash extension is a very tedious procedure and requires a lot of patience and precision.
Q: Can I wear eye make-up?
A: Yes you can but please be very careful especially with heavy makeup. Many makeup products have oil in their ingredients and can affect the retention of your extensions, causing them to fall off quicker. Same thing goes for moisturizers, creams, etc. Beware of oil based products!
Q: Can I swim, shower or exercise with my eyelash extensions?
A: Yes BUT you cannot get your eyelash extensions wet for the first 24-48 hours after getting your set. Your eyelash extension glue has not fully cured before 48 hours and getting them wet can cause the glue to become brittle and fall off. Exercising can cause sweating which can get onto your lashes. If you want to shower after getting eyelash extensions, I suggest you wear swimming goggles or even sunglasses to prevent the steam from hitting your eyes otherwise, the glue can start to sting your eyes.
Q: Is the eyelash extension glue safe?
A: The glue that we use is a quality medical grade glue that is formaldehyde and latex free, the main ingredient is cyanoacrylate. Although it is rare for an allergic reaction to occur especially since we use a latex and formaldehyde free adhesive, it can happen. Please be aware of what you may be allergic to.
Q: What kind of lashes do you use?
A: The ONLY lash extension lashes that we use are "synthetic mink" made from a type of polyester. They closely resemble real mink but they last longer, are curlier and there is no animal cruelty!
Q: What is a fill and how often should I come for a fill?
A: A fill appointment is needed if you want to maintain your eyelash extension set. As time goes by, your lashes would have shed, fallen off, grown and out grown. In order to keep your lashes maintained, a fill is needed to fill in the areas that need lash extensions and also to remove any out grown lashes. A fill is to be done between 2-3 weeks after your initial set. You must have at least 50% of you lashes left otherwise it will be considered a full set. A fill typically takes an hour.
Q: Is it ok for me to have extensions if I have mono-lids or hooded lids?
A: Of course! There are different curl shapes designed to work with whatever eyelids you have.
Q: How do I prep for the appointment?
A: Please come in to your appointment without make-up on your eyes. If you plan on washing your hair or showering, I suggest you to do that before the appointment to avoid getting your extensions wet.
Q: Why is my real lash attached to my extension when they fall out?
A:It is natural for your real lash to be attached to your extensions as they fall out. It is part of your lash cycle. A person sheds on average 5 lashes per day. No need to worry!
Q: What is the aftercare for eyelash extensions?

BROW LAMINATION FAQ
Q: What is a brow lamination?
A: Brow lamination or also known as a brow lift is a new and popular treatment where a technician takes the eyebrow hairs and reposition them to give it an illusion of a fuller set of eyebrows.

Most people have eyebrow hairs growing in a downward direction. By repositioning them in an upward angle, it will cover more of the brow area and will look fuller and thicker. This is not a tattoo, this is not microblading, this is not tinting. This is basically a PERM for your eyebrows.
