Eyelash Extensions After Care
Eyelash Extensions are a popular new service that lengthens and thickens your natural eyelashes. Eyelash Extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a naturally beautiful and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for everyday wear.
With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. No one will know you have extensions. They will just think you were born with beautiful, long lashes!
When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of your eyelashes natural growth cycle. Everyone’s experience will differ based on day to day activities but overall touchups should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used to protect and extend the life of the lashes.
Your natural eyelashes fall off every 60 – 120 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that have fallen out and to fill in on the new growth. Touch ups will vary from individual to individual and depend on your natural eyelash cycle as well as how you take care of your extended lashes. Most touch ups are between 2 – 3 weeks. When you come in for regular touch ups, you should normally have at least 50% of your lash extensions still attached. If you wait too long many of your extensions may fall off and you will need to have the full set re-applied. Touch ups usually last approximately 45-60 minutes.
Yes – even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara. It must however only be water based mascara. (DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA.) Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.
Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. However, do not wash your eye area for the first 24 hours after each application.
We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly break your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required we recommend using a heated eyelash curler.
- Do not get lashes wet for the first 24 hours
- Avoid hot steam or sauna and spray tanning for 48 hours Avoid running water directly on your lashes.
- Do not rub your eyes
- Only use water based mascara (optional)
- If applying mascara do so from middle to tip, avoid root area
- Use water based eye makeup remover
- Do not perm your lashes
- Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
- Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely)
- Do not cut your lashes.
Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions since the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelashes and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. We recommend only using a Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist.
The application process for lash extensions normally takes anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2.0 hours. If you go to a newly certified professional it may take longer. You will lay comfortably on a massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will then apply an under eye gel pad to cover your lower lashes and upper lids. Then the extensions will be applied to each individual eyelash on a lash by lash basis.
Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness and various lash materials: Example: Silk, Satin Faux-mink, Cashmere, volume lashes, genuine 100% real fur mink (cruelty free). The overall look can be anywhere from very natural, to full and lush, or very dramatic.
We normally consult with you first to see what style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can holdIn regards to size. Each person’s lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The over all look can be anywhere from very natural, to full and lush, or very dramatic.
Other types of chemo may cause complete hair loss, including your eyelashes, eyebrows, underarms, legs and sometimes pubic hair. Hair loss is usually gradual rather than sudden. If your hair is going to fall out, it usually begins 2 to 3 weeks after treatment starts. It can take up to about six months to recover from chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is out of your system a number of hours after you’ve had it given. But the side effects can last up to six months your organs will recover a lot quicker than that.
The biggest myth is that lash extensions ruin your own lashes. They do not. If applied correctly and properly, they are safe and do not ruin the health of your natural lashes. Be sure not to rub, tug, or pull on the extensions because this can cause lash loss and even damage to your natural lashes. If lashes are applied properly and to each individual lash, they won’t fall out.
TESTIMONIALS
Ada is the best. She has been doing my lashes since July and she is an absolute artist! She is absolutely gorgeous herself, a former Ford model, and a seasoned beauty expert. Ada can transform your eyes into a showpiece. I highly recommend her services!!!
I went before my wedding to get eyelash extensions. It was amazing how good they looked without looking fake. I get compliments all the time from people who think I just have amazing eyelashes naturally. I have also noticed that my eyes are less irritated because I am not wearing mascara anymore. So people who tend to have issues with mascara eyelash extensions are a great option. Ada really does a fantastic job and anyone who is considering eyelash extensions should definitely book with her. They won’t be disappointed.
What a eye opener!…..Literally. After having Ada apply the lashes, friends whom i haven’t seen in awhile, couldn’t get over how great i looked. Some thought i have got an eyelift others asked who did my botox lol. The technique, which Ada uses, applying each lash individually, provides an amazing result, leaving your lashes looking very natural. The whole experience was very pleasant, in fact there were few times I had actually fallen asleep. I have been getting my lashes done by Ada for over two years now and I wouldn’t let anybody else near my lashes. She is a PRO!Thanks to Ada i also get top of the line hair extensions. Once again i couldn’t be happier with her services. The way Ada is able to blend in my natural hair with the hair extension is truly an art. i would recommend her to anybody that wants to look fabulous and won’t settle for anything less than perfection.
My experience with Ada was phenomena She truly understands the Art of Extension. I had eyelash and hair extensions done and they were both so natural and undetectable!! My closest friends graciously complimented me without even realizing I had any work done! My hair is fuller and more vibrant and my eyelashes are subtle but oh so sexy!!
It is the best beauty investment I have made in years. My hair extensions are well balanced throughout my scalp, the color is just right and requires little maintenance. I would recommend Ada Lashes-n-Locks to anyone who is looking to have a hair and eyelash extensions by an experienced professional. My search is over and yours should be too!
After getting my first eyelash extension for my wedding in France, I needed to find the perfect spot for touch-ups. I was so amazed with Ada’s service that I haven’t taken them off in almost 6 months now… Don’t think I can ever live with my regular eye lash anymore, can’t get sick of being perfectly eyed as early as 6:00 a.m. – A must!
For gorgeous hair extensions, Ada is the absolute best in the entire NYC area. I have been a client of Ada’s for several months, and I could not be happier. Ada is like an architect who builds layers, and depth to create dramatic and quality blended hair extensions that look so natural. I highly recommend Ada’s extension services!
