All I have been seeing lately is “Eyelash Extensions this or Eyelash Extensions that”. Celebrities everywhere are proclaiming their love for them. With this service growing in popularity so quickly, many people are left with questions! What are they? Do I need a natural or glamour application? Who is suited for eyelash extensions? I will answer all of these questions and more in this blog, so keep on reading!
What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Our Eyelash Extensions are individual and semi-permanent. They are great for special occasions, or even just everyday life! The lashes should last approximately 3 to 6 weeks depending upon the life cycle of your own natural lashes. They are applied on top of your lashes and will slowly fall out as your natural lashes do. We do require a complementary phone consultation and an in-person consultation might be necessary. With various lengths, colors, and thicknesses, our Eyelash Extensions Team will customize a perfect look for you.
Ashka Salon Spa’s Eyelash Extensions Application Types
At Ashka Salon Spa we have two different types of applications. You can either get a Natural Application or a Glamour Application. It really is personal preference of the style you prefer.
Once you have your lashes on, and have fallen in love with them, you’re going to want them to last for as long as possible! To increase the longevity of your extensions, you can come in for a fill within the first three weeks of your initial full application. After that you will reschedule for a full application again.
What are the “Rules” of Eyelash Extensions?
When you first get your lashes done, your Lash Extension Specialist will give you some rules to follow. You can’t cry, sweat, or wash for at least 24 hours after application. This is because you need to be able to let the glue that they used to fully set up. After that, day to day, you must be careful about what type of make up remover you use. It cannot be oil based because that might loosen your lash extensions shortening their lifespan.
Another thing you have to keep in mind is that through sleeping and normal day activities, your lash extensions may start to tangle. To avoid any craziness you should use a clean, disposable mascara wand to lightly brush them in the morning, after showering, and at night. Your lash specialist should give you one before your leave your appointment.
Lastly, you are allowed to use mascara with your extensions, even though you probably will realize you don’t really need too. However, you cannot use waterproof mascara. It is also important to keep in mind that with the use of even non waterproof mascara, it can weaken your extensions thus shortening their lifespan.
I had mine in while I was up north this summer and it was perfect! I didn’t have to fuss with mascara, or worrying about if it was running down my face while I swam. If you are interested in a consultation, call Ashka Salon Spa today!
Until Next Time,
