Maintaining the integrity of your natural lashes is our main focus, therefore we do not overwhelm the lashes with excess weight or length.

•Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours. Avoid spas, saunas, gyms and the pool as well. Your lash extensions need this time to properly bond. •Avoid running water directly on your lashes, this can cause premature shedding. •Proper hygiene is very important. Clean lashes regularly and gently with lash shampoo and cleaning applicators. If needed dry lashes with a blow dryer on cool setting. • Avoid oily products (including some sunscreen products) on or near your lashes. • Mascara is not required… However, it may be worn. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover. • Do not perm or curl your lashes. • Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely) – If you want them removed, please come back. A special removal agent is used that will protect your natural lashes. •Use care when applying facial and eye creams to avoid the lash line. Too many oil-based products can break down the adhesive. • Maintain extensions with regular touch up appointments.

If cared for properly, eyelash extensions can last up to 4-6 weeks. However, because your natural lashes typically grow out (shed) you will need touch- up(refill) appointments every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a full lash line.
