How to care for eyelash extention’s

Our application method is designed to ensure no damage to your natural eyelashes along with a long lasting design but we need a little help from you to deliver that promise.

BEFORE APPLICATION

• Always arrive at your appointment without eye make-up. This is very important as it means your lashes will be dry so the best bond can be achieved.
• Never use mascara on the day of your appointment. If removing eyeshadow/ eyeliner really focus on the eyelash roots. If any trace of mascara or oil remover remains on the eyelash when you arrive at your appointment… your extensions will not last.
• Ideally, use baby shampoo on your natural lashes the night before or morning of your eyelash extension appointment – it is the perfect way to prepare them.
• Please wash your hair prior to your appointment if you need to as you won’t be able to get your lashes wet for 24 hrs.
• The gym: Please reschedule any exercise plans for 24 hrs after your appointment.

AFTER APPLICATION

The 24hrs following the application of eyelash extensions is critical to their longevity. Although your eyelashes are dry when you leave us, the glue is not cured so you must avoid water for 24 hrs.

• When washing your face / showering during this time frame. Avoid water coming into contact with the eye area. If you allow your extensions to become wet during this initial phase, you could potentially cause irritation. It’s extremely rare but please do not risk it. Water could also make the extensions to move from the perfect placement.
• Wash your hair (if you need to) before your appointment and be careful when cleansing your face.
• Sauna / Steam / Pools do need to be avoided for 48 hrs. This is for safety reasons as well as longevity of application so please adhere to this.
• When cleansing please do not let cotton anywhere near them. It will hook onto the base of the lash and tear it free: face wipes, cotton pads and flannels should be avoided. Simply use an oil free, gentle cleanser or baby shampoo and lightly massage make-up away with your eye closed. Splash some water and then pat (don’t rub) dry with a towel underneath your eyes.
• Give your extensions a thorough clean every day. Using an oil free cleanser or baby shampoo lightly massage at the base of extensions and along the eyelid. Splash with plenty of water and very carefully pat dry. This is a very important part of your eyelash extension aftercare. You’ll find this method easily removes eyeshadow and eyeliner.

DON’T PLAY with them: Especially in the 24hrs. It’s tempting, BUT, you cannot touch. As too much touching may result in damage to your natural lashes. We take every possible care to ensure their health during application and our goal is for your own eyelashes to be healthier for wearing extensions.

Brush them out (using a special eyelash brush). First brush the tips if you feel they need it, don’t go to the base as you risk unhooking the seamless bond.

Following exposure to a lot of water, i.e shower or swimming, your lashes may need a quick comb. They dry quickly but if you wish to speed up the process you can dry them with your hair dryer on the cool option using the lowest power setting.

Please don’t use mascara on extensions: Your extensions are designed to look long and natural without clumps or smudges which mascara will spoil.. It will also mean we can’t re-balance your extensions and they will shed very quickly.

This may sound like a lot of work but it is not to much trouble in practice and you’ll actually find your new eyelashes actually save you time. Once you’ve gone through the eyelash extension aftercare routine once you’ll see how easy it is to enjoy (and protect) them.
