Lashes are somewhat high maintenance. Its recommended to keep your lashes dry for 24 hours so please shower and wash your face prior to getting your lashes done. You have to wash your lashes, most people think the less they touch them the longer they will last but that's not the case. You need nice clean healthy lashes and a healthy eyelid. You will always have a lash wand on hand. Do not use mascara on ur lashes. Please tell me if that's the look you want. Keep in mind more dramatic looks make you feel like you have to match them with a full face of makeup everyday.
Your going to be laying down with your eyes closed for hours. Its going to be hard to be detached from hour phone for some. Please don't drink caffeine it causes eyelids to flutter. It also increases the need to use the restroom. I recommend bringing headphones if you want to listen to music or a podcast. You can also listen to my relaxing spa music that will be playing in the room.
Lash extensions require a lash conditioner if you are wearing them long term.
If lashes are applied correctly you don't need to take breaks.
Lash cycles.. lets talk about lash cycles and fills. So your lashes regenerate every 6-8 weeks. during that time you will have 3 phases growing. baby hair (I don't lash) teenagers and adults. Follow me here... Your eyelashes are not the same and don't shed mirrored. that means when you come in for a fill ... the location of a long lash is now a baby growing in so it may look a little different from the original full set or the other eye. The thickness may differ but is easier to balance with volume fans. During the fills I remove any lashes that are grown out and replace them along with any lashes that are grown enough to now be lashed. I do my best to balance the eyes during fills.
AFTERCARE
Be mindful of heat from fires and ovens. Be mindful of steam from pots and hot tubs.
Your glue is oil resistant so you can use any facial products or cleansers. I still don't recommend drenching them with oil. This glue has amazing retention. Its also great for athletes and swimmers who struggle with retention with other glues.
Sleep gently the first few days and try to never sleep with your lashes pressed into the pillow. Some clients use travel pillows to sleep and that helps.
Rinse lashes and Brush lashes everyday. Wash lashes at lease 3 times a week.
Don't touch them with our fingers or pull them.
WHAT A ALLERGIC REACTION LOOKS LIKE
Lets not wait till its happening to google this. Your eyes will start out itchy maybe watery. The eyelid becomes swolen. The eyelid can also appear red/pink/raw and the skin can start flaking off. In Server cases your eye will produce mucus like substance like goopy stuff and be super swollen. If you think your experiencing any symptoms please let me know. If its mild and you want to keep your lashes you can go to the eye doctor and get drops for contact dermatitis. If it is very bad I recommend removing them. You can develop a reaction later down the road as you become more exposed to the glue for a greater time. If not the first time iv seen it about 6-9 moths down the road. But it could happen 3 years later. Just be aware of the warning signs. Once you become allergic that's that! Do not try to get lashes applied again your reaction will be 5x as worse. I give free removals to anyone who has a reaction but a refund for the service will not be given. I also recommend a removal for most reactions. Reactions can happen from the glue but you could also get a infection from not washing your lashes. There's also a thing called lash mites too please just keep them clean!
