How long do they last?
Approximately 2-3 weeks if you take care of them and please keep in mind everyone is different. This is a semi-permanent beauty procedure there is no such proceedure that lasts for 2+ months dont be duped. A real lash’s life cycle is around 25-28 days, and as yours grow and fall out, so will the synthetic ones. If your hair and nails grow quickly then that will mean that your lashes also are growing, shedding and renewing themselves quickly so you may find that your lashes will not last as long as someone whose hair growth is slow. Your life style and what work you do will also make a difference how long they last.
What are in-fills, why do I need them and how often?
In-fills are when the natural eyelash has fallen out and there has been an extension lash applied to it. You will require in-fills every 2-3 weeks or less if you would like to achieve a constistantly full fresh set of lashes.
Do I have to get a full set of eyelash extensions?

Half sets are suited to people who have naturally thick and dark lashes, not suitable for fair lashed people or if you do not have many lashes.

Why couldnt I have eyelash extensions applied?
If you are an "eye rubber" due to allergies such as hayfever, if rubbing your eyes is just a habit, you have experienced sensitivity around the eye area after using skin care or makeup or generally having sensitivity around that area the extensions may not suit you. However, we have clients who say their eyes are sensitive but DO NOT experience any reaction or discomfort during or after having eyelash extensions applied.
Preparation for my appointment appointment?
Tint at least 48 hours before your eyelash extension appointment. Arrive with no makeup or at least no mascara and do not perm or curl your eyelashes before your appointment. If you wear contact lenses please bring your contact lens case as your lenses will need to be removed.
