Are you tired of applying fake lashes every day? Do you dream of waking up with luscious, long lashes? Look no further than eyelash extensions! They are the perfect solution to enhance your natural beauty and achieve the glamorous look you desire. Whether you have questions about the duration, types, or maintenance of eyelash extensions, this article has got you covered. So, let’s dive in and discover the world of fabulous lashes!
How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?
Although a few lashes can last up to 10 weeks, semi-permanent eyelash extensions typically maintain their beauty for about 3-4 weeks with proper home care. After this period, you may need an in-fill appointment to replace the lashes that naturally fall off. Our natural lashes shed at a rate of 4-7 per day, so regular maintenance is crucial to keep your lash line looking full and flawless. While express lashes last for 2 weeks, it’s important to remove them promptly to maintain the health of your natural lashes.
Types of Eyelash Extensions
Semi-permanent eyelash extensions offer two main options: Classic and Russian Volume. In the Classic technique, individual lashes are carefully isolated, and 1 or 2 lashes are applied to each natural lash. This method provides a subtle and elegant look. On the other hand, Russian Volume lashes, also known as multi-pick-up lashes or 2D-6D eyelash extensions, involve picking up multiple lashes with tweezers, fanning them out, and then applying them to one natural lash. This creates a full, fluffy, and glamorous effect. Express lashes, meanwhile, are placed on the natural lashes and layered together. Because of this, it is essential to remove them after two weeks to prevent them from pulling out each other.
Which Eyelash Extensions Are Right for You?
If you’re looking for lashes for a special occasion, express lashes are perfect and provide a quick transformation. However, for long-term wear, semi-permanent lashes are the best choice. They offer durability and a natural appearance, suiting your daily lifestyle perfectly.
Ensuring Quality and Safety
When it comes to eyelash extensions, it’s crucial to entrust your eyes to properly trained technicians. At Ekilove, our technicians meticulously apply lashes to your natural lashes, using only high-quality products. They continuously update their training to stay at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry. Beware of poorly applied, low-cost extensions, as they can damage your natural lashes. We recommend choosing an expert who takes hygiene seriously, performs a patch test, and showcases their work on platforms like Facebook. Additionally, maintaining your natural lashes’ health involves avoiding the habit of pulling at your lashes and diligently following aftercare instructions.
Eyelash Extensions for Everyone
Contrary to popular belief, eyelash extensions are not reserved exclusively for women. Men can also benefit from the defined look that lashes provide. At Ekilove, we offer men a gentler curl in dark brown, providing eye definition without an obvious artificial appearance. Of course, if you prefer a more dramatic and glamorous look, we can achieve that too!
Safety First – The Importance of a Patch Test
At Ekilove, we prioritize the well-being of our clients and their eye health. This is why we require all our clients to undergo a patch test at Sage Therapies. A patch test is a quick and essential step that ensures you won’t experience any allergic reactions. It only takes 5 minutes, and your safety is our top priority.
Synthetic Mink and Silk Lashes
When it comes to the materials used for eyelash extensions, synthetic mink and silk lashes are the most popular options. Surprisingly, both are made from the same product, PBT. Companies categorize them differently, resulting in various finishes and textures. At Ekilove, we use a combination of synthetic mink and silk lashes, as they provide beautiful results without the concerns associated with real mink lashes. Real mink lashes can cause skin and eye sensitivities, and their shape and curl may change while being worn. Furthermore, we are committed to cruelty-free practices and opt for synthetic lashes over real mink.
Customizable and Diverse Lash Options
At Ekilove, we offer an extensive range of lash options to suit every individual’s needs and preferences. We stock B, C, CC, D, L, and J curls in black, with a smaller selection of curls available in dark brown, red, blue, green, and purple. These lashes come in various thicknesses, including 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, 0.12, and 0.15, along with Ellipse lashes. Our experienced technicians assess your lashes and work closely with you to create a personalized look that enhances your eye shape and features. With techniques like Russian Volume, capping, stacking, curl mixing, feathering, and more, you can freely choose between a natural or dramatic and glamorous appearance.
Prenatal Considerations
For the safety and comfort of pregnant ladies, we do not offer extensions during pregnancy. Allergic reactions and the duration of the application process could potentially lead to discomfort. Once your little one arrives, we would be more than happy to help you achieve the lashes of your dreams!
Eyelash Extension Care Tips
Newly applied eyelash extensions require special care to ensure their longevity. For the first 24 hours, it’s essential to keep them dry. In the mornings, gently brush through them with a clean mascara wand to maintain their shape. When removing makeup, use oil-free makeup remover and avoid applying any oil-based products near your lashes. These simple and easy-to-follow tips will help you preserve the beauty of your extensions for as long as possible.
Arriving on Time – The Importance of Being Punctual
To ensure that each client receives their full appointed time, we kindly request that you arrive on time for your lash appointment. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances arise occasionally, being punctual demonstrates respect for both our time and that of our next client. If you are running late, we may need to adjust your appointment duration to avoid inconveniencing others.
