WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSIC VS VOLUME?

Classic is a method where 1 lash extensions is applied to 1 natural lash. This method is also know as 1 to 1. Classic lashes are perfect for clients who already have a lot of lashes but want to add more length or clients who simply just want a more natural look.

Volume lashes (3D) is also know as Russian Volume. It is when multiple lash extensions are applied to one single natural eyelash, using very thin and light weight extension lashes. When 2 extensions are applied to one natural lashes, this is described as 2D. If 3 extensions are applied to one natural eyelash, then this is described as 3D, etc. As this method requires using very thin and light weight lashes, lashes appear lighter, fluffier and gives the client a fuller look. This method is perfect for clients who don’t have a lot of lashes, have sparse lashes, bald spots or just want a more dramatic look without having to use a thicker lash extension.

WHAT TYPE OF LASHES DO YOU USE?

We stock an extremely wide selection of lash lengths, thickness, and curl shapes. This variety ensures the best look for your eyes, and not just the most popular sizes. We use 100% polyester fiber extensions, otherwise known as synthetic minks.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:

Arrive to your appointment with dry, squeeky clean lashes. No residue of make up should be left around your eye area. Less time we have to spend on cleaning your lashes means more lash time!

HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?

For some, it may last for a couple months. While others may shed within a couple days. All hair on your body follows a specific growth cycle and will grow to a specific length before shedding. Because each individual eyelash is in its very own growth cycle, it is perfectly normal to lose a few natural eyelashes everyday. Your individual eyelash cycle, combined with how well you care for the eyelash extensions will determine how long they last.

Having said that, with proper care and maintenance appointments every 2-4 weeks, your extensions can last indefinitely.

WILL EYELASH EXTENSIONS DAMAGE MY LASHES?

When eyelash extensions are properly applied, they will not damage your natural eyelashes. Your natural lashes are always shedding and cycling back, the extensions should simply fall off with yours. The extensions themselves do not cause your lashes to fall out or become damaged unless your technician is applying extensions that are too long or thick for your natural lashes.

HOW DO I CARE FOR THEM?

The more meticulous you are about caring for your eyelash extensions, the longer you can expect them to last.

  • Use ONLY water based and OIL-FREE products around your eye area, including mascara and makeup remover. Oil breaks down the adhesive bond. Creams and serums should be applied sparingly, and no closer to than the orbital bone. Anything that hasn’t absorbed after 2 minutes can be blotted with a tissue or blotting paper.
  • Avoid waterproof mascara. If you can, it is better not to use any mascara at all as wearing mascara regularly will decrease the time between touch-up appointments.
  • Always wash your eyelashes with gentle foamy cleanser, like baby shampoo, applied gently with your fingers and wash with water every single day. Remember, eyelashes are meant to protect our eyes from debris, dirt and dust.
  • Dry thoroughly by blotting (not rubbing) with a towel or blow drying on a cool setting, then spin through with a clean mascara wand.
  • Avoid using cotton swabs or pads that will leave lint and catch on your extensions.
  • Avoid using an eyelash curler as it creates a kink in your eyelash extensions, hence reducing the life of your extensions.
  • Do not rub, pick, twist or pull at your lashes or eyelash extensions. If you would like them removed, please contact your Beverly Hills Lashes Professional.
  • Be gentle with your lashes. How you care for eyelash extensions will directly affect the look of your lashes as well as the length of time between touch-up appointments.

DURING THE INITIAL 24-48 HOURS AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT:

  • Avoid hot steam from showers, facials, saunas and swimming pools for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid tanning beds for 48 hours after application and make sure your eyelashes and eye area are covered during application.
  • Avoid chemical peels, waxing or laser treatments around the eyes.

CAN I WEAR MASCARA?

It is not recommended to wear mascara over the eyelash extensions as it can weaken the bond of the adhesive and cause premature loss of the extensions. However, you may wear water-based, non waterproof mascara on the lower lashes, being careful when applying and removing them. Waterproof mascara is NEVER recommended.
