Prep and aftercare

- it is imperative that you come to your appointment makeup free! Lash extension adhesive cannot bond to dirty lashes! it's like trying to make tape stick to a dusty wall 

-please do not wash your hair within 24 hours before your appointment. the spray of water as you rinse your conditioner can coat your natural lashes with silicone or wax and lash extension adhesive will slide right off your natural lashes causing all your pretty extensions to fall off

-do not lift, tint, or curl your natural lashes within 24 hours of your appointment

-caffeine can cause your eyelids to flutter during the service which means I cannot get a good bond with your natural lashes! talking and chewing gum can cause this as well. please avoid your favorite caffeinated drink and spit your gum out before your appointment

-NO MASCARA 24-48 hours before an appointment for a full set of lash extensions. mascara leaves behind a waxy residue that lash adhesive cannot adhere to and will cause poor retention

fills must be booked between 2-3 weeks. anything after 4 weeks will be a removal and a new full set due to growth and natural shedding in order to keep your natural lashes healthy

clean your lashes at least once a day with a safe lash cleanser! the build up of makeup and oils can add extra weight to the extensions which can lead not only to premature shedding, but can also cause irritation and infection. it will be necessary to remove your extensions for the safety of your eyes should this happen

NO MASCARA! mascara is death to extensions! it can cause them to pop off as well as coating the lashes with a waxing substance that lash adhesive cannot adhere to. book a fill if you feel like you need to wear mascara over your extensions

do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours after lash extensions or a lash lift. for a lash lift, this includes steam from a dishwasher, spray in the shower, and sweating. avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for the first 24 hours after a lash lift

use a nourishing lotion daily after a lash lift to keep lashes healthy after being chemically processed 

before waxing: be sure to keep skin well moisturized. this helps for easier hair removal. do not trim or shave less than 3 weeks prior to appointment

24-48 hours after waxing: avoid sun exposure to waxed skin. avoid products containing fragrances or dye as these can irritate the skin. avoid excessive sweating, sex, hot tubs, hot baths or showers, and liquid (non-mineral) makeup

after the first 24-48 hours: exfoliate 2-3 times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs. preferably with a glycolic or salicylic wash. continue hydrating skin daily
