"Frequently Asked Questions"
1. MYTH:
You can’t wash your eyes while wearing lash extensions.
FACT:
Not only can you wash your lashes, but it is RECOMMENDED! You want to clean your lashes DAILY. Cleaning your lashes will remove any unwanted dirt, debris, make-up residue, etc. Cleaning your lashes will also prevent you from getting infections (i.e.: Blepharitis, lash mites, etc.) Clean lashes also = BETTER RETENTION! Who wouldn’t want longer, lasting lashes?! To better cleanse your lashes, Beauti Foaming Lash Cleanser is highly recommended for daily use.
2. MYTH:
Eyelash Extensions damage your natural lashes.
FACT:
When applied CORRECTLY (i.e.: 1:1 ratio or 1 false lash extension per 1 single isolated natural lash) they should NOT cause any damage to your natural lashes.
3. MYTH:
Eyelash Extensions are painful.
FACT:
With proper isolation & lash placement lash extensions are pain free!
4. MYTH:
Any person that is TRAINED/CERTIFIED to do lash extensions is qualified to do them.
FACT:
Lash Extensions is a PROFESSIONAL service and should only be performed by a LICENSED cosmetologist/esthetician, or the technician must have a specialty license in lash extensions (BbeautiAndLashes Artists are LICENSED).
5. MYTH:
You can get LONG lengths, regardless of the condition of your natural lashes.
FACT:
The health and safety of your natural lashes is the MOST important. Only lengths that your natural lash can healthily support will be used. If you desire a FULLER look, a VOLUME SET is recommended. Please ask Prisca “Bre” Barnes (Master Lash Artist), at the time of your appointment.
6. MYTH:
A full set of eyelash extensions will lash a full 6 weeks without a refill.
FACT:
Our natural lashes shed approx. 2-5 lashes daily (on average about 3 lashes per day, 21 lashes per week), so most clients will need a refill every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes BEAUTIFUL & FULL. Your lifestyle plays a HUGE part of your lash retention. If you have an active lifestyle (work out, swim, use sauna, sweat, etc.) wear make-up daily, or if you are a wild sleeper, you might loose more lashes than say a client whose lifestyle isn’t so busy.
(50% of lashes must be maintained for a refill service. Refills can be booked weekly up to 4 weeks. A fresh FULL SET service must be booked after 4 weeks.)
