Do you ever wish you could wake up with long, luscious lashes without the hassle of mascara? Well, now you can! Introducing eyelash extensions – the advanced technique that will enhance your natural beauty and give you the fluttery lashes you’ve always dreamed of.
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are the secret to achieving longer, thicker, and fuller eyelashes. These single or multi-dimensional strands of lashes are gently curved to replicate the natural lash and are meticulously applied to your own lashes. The result? A stunning, natural-looking lash line that will make your eyes pop.
The Difference Between False Eyelashes and Eyelash Extensions
It’s important not to confuse false eyelashes with eyelash extensions. False eyelashes are temporary and often come in strips or clusters that are applied over your natural lashes. On the other hand, eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and individually attached to your natural lashes, creating a seamless look that lasts for weeks.
Our Eyelash Extension Services
At Ekilove, we offer a range of eyelash extension services to cater to your unique preferences. Here are our most popular options:
Natural Full Set
Our Natural Full Set is the epitome of elegance. This classic lash application method involves attaching one extension to one natural eyelash, resulting in a subtle yet uplifted look. With our expert technique, your lashes will appear beautifully curled and naturally enhanced.
Enhanced Natural Full Set
If you want to take your lashes to the next level, our Enhanced Natural Full Set is the perfect choice. This premium Russian Volume lash application method involves applying two or more ultra-light lash extensions to one natural eyelash. The result is an incredible fullness that lasts longer than traditional lash applications.
Eyelash Extensions FAQs
We understand that you may have some questions about eyelash extensions. Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions:
-
Will lash extensions damage my natural lash?
When applied properly, lash extensions will not harm your natural lashes. Our meticulous application technique ensures that your natural lashes can grow and thrive alongside the extensions. You can enjoy long, beautiful lashes without worrying about damage or harm. -
Are you certified?
Yes, we are! In the state of Virginia, eyelash extension artists must be licensed in either Cosmetology or Esthetics to legally perform eyelash extensions. We are proud to say that Tina, our expert lash technician, holds licenses in both Cosmetology and Esthetics. -
Can I see some before and after photos?
Absolutely! We love to showcase our work. Seeing real-life examples of our clients’ before and after photos will give you a clear vision of the meticulous attention to detail we put into every lash application. -
How long will the extensions last?
Eyelash extensions will last throughout the natural lash growth cycle, which is typically around 2 to 3 weeks. However, to maintain the fullness of your lashes, we recommend coming in for a refill every 2 to 3 weeks. This will keep your lashes looking flawless and fresh. -
Are eyelash extensions safe?
When done properly, eyelash extensions are safe. At Ekilove, we use medical-grade adhesive that never touches your skin or eyes. To ensure your safety, we also offer a patch test 48 hours prior to the application to check for any potential sensitivities. -
Can I use mascara with eyelash extensions?
We recommend avoiding mascara with your eyelash extensions. Our extensions are designed to give your natural lashes the appearance of fullness and length, eliminating the need for mascara. -
Can I get my eyelash extensions wet?
After 24 hours of application, your eyelash extensions are 100% waterproof. You can resume your daily routines and activities, including washing your face. However, we advise avoiding extensive contact with high heat, such as saunas or open flames, as this can singe the tips of the extensions. -
How long will the process take?
The duration of the application process depends on the density and type of eyelash extensions you desire. A brand new full set, including a consultation and eye design, can take between 2 to 3.5 hours. Refill appointments typically range from 1 to 2 hours. During the service, you can relax in our comfortable reclined chair and enjoy a blissful lash nap. -
What happens if I no longer wish to have extensions?
If you decide to remove your extensions, please refrain from attempting to remove them yourself. We offer a complementary professional removal service to ensure the integrity of your natural lashes. Our skilled technicians will dissolve the adhesive and gently remove the extensions, leaving you with clean and healthy lashes. -
Do I need to do anything before my eyelash extensions appointment?
To ensure the best results, we recommend scheduling a patch test 48 hours prior to the appointment if you have sensitive eyes. Also, please arrive without makeup or mascara and avoid using an eyelash mechanical curler. If you wear contact lenses, be sure to bring a case to store them during the service. -
How do I take care of my eyelash extensions?
To maintain the longevity and fullness of your lashes, follow these care tips:
- Avoid getting your lash extensions wet for the first 24 hours.
- Steer clear of extreme heat and oil-based makeup or skincare products around the eyes.
- Resist the temptation to use a mechanical eyelash curler or mascara.
- Gently cleanse your lashes with an eyelash extension-safe cleanser to remove dirt, debris, and oil.
- Brush your extensions with a mascara wand daily to keep them untangled and looking their best.
- Visit us for a refill every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain the health and fullness of your lashes.
