Eyelash Extensions in Roanoke, TX

Do not curl your eyelash or wear mascara to the appointment. Ensure that your eyelashes and eyes are makeup-free, clean, and dry. If you are a contact lens wearer, remove your contacts prior to the application and bring your prescription glasses to wear during the first 3 hours after the application.

Depending on the number of eyelash extensions applied and lash stylist skill level, a full set (approx. 70-100 lashes per eye) may take 90-180 minutes. Re-lashes, lashes, or lash refills, every 2-4 weeks after, may take 45-60 minutes. During the procedure, you recline comfortably with your eyes closed. Many women call it their “mid-day beauty rest.” 

• Avoid getting them wet for up to 48 hours after application. 
• Do not rub or touch your eyes. 
• Clean with eyelash foam cleanser every 3 days. 
• Brush through your eyelash tips in the morning. 
• Do not use oil-based products around or on the eyes. 
• Do not sleep on your face. 
• Stay on top of your refills (recommended every 2 – 3 weeks).  

Indefinitely with routine re-lashes. Typically, you lose an eyelash extension every time a natural eyelash sheds. With routine re-lashes, new extensions can be applied to new natural eyelashes to maintain the original look. 

A fresh, full set of eyelash extensions can change your life! You’ll probably find yourself addicted after your first set, so it’s never too early to learn how to look after them.  

You should try to avoid getting your new lashes wet within the first 48 hours. The water will react with the eyelash extension glue and cause a flash cure. This is a little like cooking a chicken from the outside in—cooked on the outside and frozen on the inside. Water will cause the lash bond to become brittle and break.  

After the 48-hour period, you’re safe to shower again. It’s a myth that you should never get your eyelash extensions wet once having a new set, in-fact quite the opposite!  

Top tip: When showering, don’t position your head in the full strength of water flow. Let the water instead run down your face. 

We’re often led to believe that the less we touch and clean around, the better and longer our eyelash extensions will last. This is wrong, in fact, it’s entirely the opposite! The health of your eyes is important, and, when wearing lash extensions, it becomes harder to clean around them.  

Using a soft bristle brush and specialist eyelash extension cleaning foam, clean every 3 days. Getting into this habit removes traces of natural oils, dust, and make-up. This prevents any build-ups causing pressure on your lashes and breaking down the bond. You need to clean to avoid premature lash shedding.  

 You’re heading out. The temptation for more va-va-voom is huge, so you reach for the mascara and eyeliner to pump up the volume. Please don’t do this! The product gets caught between lashes and builds up. This, in turn, becomes much harder to clean and may lead to premature lash loss and affect your eye health! If you must add mascara, it’s vital that you’re using a water-based variant. We hand select mascara and other products in our salon that won’t damage your new extensions or eye health.
