Eyelash Extensions have become the accessory for so many women, rivaling the monthly nail treatments at the best salons around. No fuss, no smudge, waterproof, natural or dramatic, affordable and safe. Take a close look at celebrities Kelly Rippa, Kim Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Gwen Stefani to name only a few. They have been wearing extensions since the early 2000’s. Lucky for us, this “trend” is not just a trend anymore and not just for celebrities. They are a fantastic alternative and have gained tremendous popularity because of their natural look, ease of application, and affordability.
What are eyelash extensions? The extensions themselves are perfectly polished polyester points. They come in a variety of thicknesses, colors and degrees of curl. A talented technician can create the perfect “lashscape” for your facial features and desired look.
How long do they last? Your lash extensions, when properly applied, will last as long as your natural lash is attached to you. Some will pop off, but with a good adhesive and technique you’ll be able to enjoy your lashes for a few weeks. To keep your lashes looking fresh, a refill every two to four weeks is desirable.
How long does it take to apply lashes? Extensions are applied one lash at a time with care and precision. This takes time and depends on the set size that you choose. Set sizes are not universal and can be independently defined by a salon.
My nail salon does lash extensions for only $20. Are these the same? Other salons are offering clusters, flairs and strip lashes that take only a few minutes to apply and cost a lot less. Or worse, they are applying individual lashes with very poor technique gluing several of your natural lashes with potential harm. Choose carefully.
