Overview of Eyelash Extensions  (Call 252-305-7745...as my services are now very limited) Thank you. Dolly

Eyelash extensions are fantastic....and complete the look along with the airbrush makeup.  You'll want to enhance your eyes not only for your groom but especially for the dynamic effects it will have in your photographs!

Eyelash extensions are individual strands of synthetic lashes that are applied one-by-one to your own natural lashes. Because these lashes are attached one at a time, the procedure may take as long as 2 hours.  I normally attach approximately 30 lashes per eye, depending on the customers natural eyelashes.  The lashes are attached approximately 1mm from eyelid. They are attached to your medium sized lashes instead of older longer ones, or new ones, as they are more fragile and susceptible to not holding up as long.

You can choose from a shorter more natural length to a more dramatic length and density.  The choice is yours!

The lash life cycle of your natural lashes is approximately 60 days. The lash extension may come off due to the natural lash life cycle or negligent care of the lashes (which we will talk about a little later). Most people shed between 1-5 lashes daily, however a new eyelash is on its way to replace it!  It is highly recommended that you maintain touch-up applications for the first few weeks after the initial application if you intend to keep them long and lush......I think of it as a "fingernail fill"...in which we have to go back periodically in order to keep the nails looking beautiful and natural.

HOW TO CARE FOR MY EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Lashes are precious!  To ensure long lasting and stay beautiful, proper care and maintenance are required.

 *     2 hours after lash extensions are applied - Do not allow water to contact lashes.

*     2 days after lash extensionn are applied -Do not steam face, use steam bath, swim or wash face with hot water.

*     Do not use waterproof mascara or mascara remover on lashes as makeup remover will affect the bonding.

*     Do not perm lashes

*     Do not use a lash curler as it will break both the lash extensions and your natural lashes.

*     Do not rub eyes or lash extensions when washing face.  Always pat dry lashes after cleansing.

*     Maintain your lash extensiion with fill-ins approximately every 2 - 3 weeks.
