|
Q: How do I look after my Eyelash Extensions?
A: Try not to rub or scratch your eyes and use makeup removers and cleansers containing oils carefully as they can loosen the adhesive which bonds the extension to your natural eyelash. |
|
Q: How long do the extensions last?
A: Each extension is bonded to a single natural lash. Extensions can stay in place for as long as two months if cared for properly. |
|
Q: How long does it take to apply extensions?
A: The initial application normally takes between 60 to 90 minutes depending on how many lashes are applied. Re-applications and touch-ups usually take about half an hour. |
|
Q: Why do i need to come for fills
A: Your natural eyelash growth cycle is between 30 and 90 days. All of your eyelashes do not fall out at the same time, they replenish gradually day by day. You may loose 2 or 3 lashes per day and when your lashes are short you don't notice it, but with an extension there is a length difference. |
|
Q: What do I do before I come in for an eyelash extension appointment?
A: You should clean your lashes with a mild, oil free cleanser. Do not use mascara or perm the lashes. |
|
Q: Is the extension glued to my skin?
A: No, the extensions are glued about 1mm from the base of the eyelash and the extension and glue must never come into contact with the skin. |
|
Q: How many clients will the starter kit serve?
A: The Starter Kit contains enough material for 150 - 200 client procedures if utilised correctly. The average procedure uses +-40 lashes and one drop of glue. |
|
Q: What must I charge clients for Eyelash Extensions?
A: The fee for the procedure depends on the availablility of the service in your area. Our suggested retail price is R500 to R850. Charges in the USA range from $100 to $300. The fee for touch ups should be based on the number of replacements that you use. |
|
Q: Are the eyelash glues recommended for sensitive skin?
A: This should not be a problem as the eyelash extension and glue do not come in contact with skin. The extension is applied directly to the natural eyelash. |
|
Q: What are eyelash extensions?
A: Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic eyelashes which are attached to your natural eyelash with a special adhesive that will last for up to two months. Once attached they look just like your natural lashes, only longer and fuller. |
|
Q: Can anyone Apply eyelash extensions?
A: Only people trained in the application of eyelash extensions should be performing the procedure. Please refer to our Accredited Salons section for a list of Professions that have been trained by us. |
|
Q: How often do they need to be re applied?
A: The natural growth and loss of your own eyelashes will determine the frequency for touch-ups. The normal period is about two weeks. |
|

|
Q: Are the glues and removers safe?
