Lash Extension FAQs

  • Classic lashes are extensions where each viable natural lash will have one synthetic lash added to it. This style is the most natural and gives an enhanced mascara look.

  • Hybrid lashes are extensions where each viable lash will be lashed but there is a mix of single classic lashes and small clusters of lashes(fans) mixed in to give more dimension and volume.

  • Volume lashes are extensions where each viable lash will be lashed with only cluster lashes(fans) resulting in a thick and dramatic look.

  • As lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes, they will shed along with your natural lash cycle. On average we lose 1-5 eyelashes a day. Due to that, I recommend getting a lash fill every 2-3 weeks depending on your preference.

  • You can wear makeup but, I don’t recommend using mascara with lash extensions. If makeup isn’t properly removed it can gunk up your lashes causing them to look clumpy or even cause poor retention. If you would like to wear makeup, the best way to go about it would be to use oil free makeup and oil free makeup remover followed by lash shampoo.

  • If applied properly there should be no damage to your natural lashes. It is also very important for you to take care of your lashes to ensure no damage. This means avoiding picking at your lashes, sleeping on your face, rubbing your eyes excessively, making sure to wash and dry your lashes every day. In addition it is important to get your lashes filled every 2-3 weeks!

  • Remove any makeup, remove contact lenses, avoid caffeine prior to your appointments, and finally come in ready to get comfy cause you’re gonna be laying for a little while!

  • An average human has 90-150 natural lashes per eye. Each of those lashes must be isolated and an extension is attached to it. I personally hand make all lash fans for hybrid and volume lashes throughout the appointment. Overall it is a very tedious and time consuming process resulting in longer appointment times.

 

Lifting & Tinting FAQs

 
  • A lash lift is similar to the idea of a perm for your eyelashes. It alters the shape and color of your natural lashes rather than extensions which just add a false lash per real lash.

    In a lash lift service we are using chemicals that break down the bonds in your lash hair and then put the bonds back together in the hair in the curled/lifted shape.

  • Tinting the lashes is like coloring the lashes. Typically done with a darker tint to make lashes appear as though they have mascara on.

  • The procedure should cause no harm if done by a certified professional and there is at least 6 weeks in between lifts.

  • The lift typically lasts between 6 to 8 weeks just depending where you are at in your lash growth cycle, and aftercare. The tint should last about 4 to 6 weeks depending on hair growth cycles and fallout.

  • Yes, as long as the contacts are removed prior to service.

  • For the first 24 hours it is not recommended to wear makeup as it could cause the lashes to fall as they are still malleable. After 24 hours you can wear makeup, but might not feel you have to.

  • You can receive a lash lift every six to eight weeks. It’s better to let them be for the integrity of your lashes. Lash tinting can be done every four to five weeks if desired.

  • You can after the first 24 hours but you shouldn’t need to.

  • As most people are great candidates for this service people who experience, chronic dry eye, conjunctivitis, damaged lashes or lashes with gaps, active eye infections of any kind, trichotillomania (habitual pulling out of lashes), recent chemo treatments (you will need to wait at least a year from your last treatment) are not good candidates for this service.

 

Waxing FAQs

  • After the first wax you will notice that the hair grows back thinner, finer and softer. With each wax after you will notice these results progressing. This is applicable for every waxing service area.

    Removing the hair will not change the molecular structure of the follicle, so no, your hair will not grow back thicker.

  • Soft wax, also known as strip wax, requires a strip to remove the hair and is best for large areas. Soft wax is considered to be more intense than hard wax because it has a higher melting point.

    Hard wax is much thicker than soft wax. Unlike soft wax, it adheres only to the hair rather than the skin. This reduces discomfort and irritation. Hard wax does not require a strip, it hardens on the skin and can be removed with the hand.

  • How often you return for a waxing service depends on the area of the body and how quickly your hair grows.

  • 1/4 of an inch or as long as a grain of rice (enough to grab with your fingers) is the appropriate length of hair growth for a waxing service. This ensures that the hair is removed from the root.

  • NO. Doing either will cause the hair to not grow to the appropriate length before our next appointment. Doing this will mess with the hair growth cycle and will consistently leave hairs behind after every wax. Staying consistent with waxing will ensure your hair will be the right length to get the best results possible.

  • In the beginning you will likely see hair growth begin around one- two weeks. If you continue on a regular and consistent waxing schedule(every four- six weeks) that period can extend to three weeks before you see hair growth.

  • Sunburned or irritated areas with open skin should not be waxed. Moles are not to be waxed. Between chemical peels/microdermabrasion it is important to wait at least 14 days before waxing. If tanning beds have been used in the 14 days prior, waxing should not be performed.

    If you are receiving a facial waxing service these are contraindications for that service; recent exfoliation, including chemical (i.e. acid based products, Retin-A), recent cosmetic surgeries, acne medications including but not limited to Accutane, chemotherapy, radiation, Rosacea, being prone to fever blisters, or sold sores, thin fragile, skin, eczema, and psoriasis.
