Semi-Permanent Eyelash Extensions -411
What is the difference between Classic & Volume?
Both are different techniques. Classic is one lash per lash application. Volume lashes are fuller (2D-6D) and can look more natural to "strip like." All lashes are not heavy and allow your natural lashes to curl.
Adhesive
All adhesives that are used are safe for the lashes and are never applied on the skin. We use the following professional grade adhesives:

How long do the semi-permanent eyelash extentions last?
Although they can last up to 4-5 weeks, our lashes will shed 3-5 lashes a day. There are 4 lash cycles and just like our hair or nails we need to maintain them as they grow.
It is essential to maintain a full lash set, 2-3 weeks fills are readily scheduled.
Will my natural lashes fall out and will I end up bald spots?
No. Only highly trained & certified lash artists are taught to not put the natural lashes or eyes at risk. We are not able to lash unless you have healthy lashes and they are kept clean and the client does not pluck or pull their lashes. Careful analysis of natural lashes, length and strength will determine the weight and length of faux mink lashes used per client.
Clients have returned for over 2 years with fills and sets and they have completely healthy lashes.
With the client's personal at home maintenance of brushing and cleaning with mild oil-free cleanser, lashes will definitely be healthy and strong.
Siberian Mink vs Faux Mink?
We use high grade Faux Mink Lashes - mimicing the closest materials to Siberian Mink.
We do not use Siberian Mink as they do not hold the curls that faux mink lashes are specialized to do. At the same time, Faux Mink is soft and durable. Most clients testify that they can't even feel them. Siberian Mink is triple the cost and although no animals are harmed during the process, we cannot determine if our client is allergic to the real mink used. Faux mink is more pliable and more cost effective.
Can I get my lashes wet?
After the inital 24 hour dry period, you may absolutely get them wet. You should keep your lashes clean by cleansing with an oil-free soap or baby shampoo. Keeping your lashes clean and brushed are key to maintaining them. You may swim and workout, etc. Please do keep in mind any major steam like cooking and excessive humidity within a 72 hour period may loosen the bond and risk extension fall out. So keep them cool and dry.
