Eyelash Extensions FAQs

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions are individual strands of synthetic fibers made to replicate a natural eyelash. When applied, eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken your own natural eyelashes. The single strands are applied to each individual eyelash, one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural.

 

How Long Will a Set of Eyelash Extensions Last?

When applied by one of our professionals, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your own lashes

4-6 weeks. Depending on your activity and day-to-day routine, refills should only be required every 2 to 4 weeks.

 

Are Lash Extensions Safe?

We only use professional grade adhesive which never comes in contact with your skin. Our highly trained professionals applies Synthetic eyelashes adhere about 1mm away from your skin. Our adhesive we use is flexible and free to move with the hair, there is less tension on the hair follicles, therefore less lash damage and it is also Paraben, Sulfate, Surfactant, Oil, Glycol, hydroquinone, and formaldehyde  Free.

 

Can I Wash My Face After Extensions?

We do ask you to minimize the chance of wetting the extensions for the first 48 hours of wear. After that 48-hour period, the adhesive used to apply your eyelash extensions is secure enough to allow you to get right back to your routine. However, keeping away from extensive contact with steam such as in saunas or certain facials is not recommended since it can begin to loosen the bond.

 

Can I Use Eyelash Growth Products To My Extensions?

Lash growth products that contain steroids change the composition of your lashes and accelerate your eyelash shedding cycle, therefore we cannot guarantee the outcome. Natural lash growth products containing peptides are wonderful and will have no adverse effect on the longevity of your extensions.

 

Can I Use Mascara With The Extensions?

No, you will not need to use mascara with your lash extensions, but for nights that you want extra drama you can use a water-based mascara.

 

Is The Product FDA Approved? Is it safe? 

Currently, the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free. Some clients consider the process relaxing and even sleep through the appointment.

 

WHAT IF I'M ALLERGIC?

Laveda lash will go over with you any sensitivities or allergies. A patch test can be done 24 hours prior to service to check for this.
