Frequently Asked Questions
When eyelash extensions are applied properly, they do not damage your natural lashes.
Your natural eyelashes grow and shed every 30-90 days, making it necessary to come in for fills every 2-3 weeks. Your fill will consist of replacing lost extensions and filling in new growth. At the time of your fill, you should have lost half or less than half of the lashes on each eye. How long your extensions will last depends on your home care and natural shedding process. Excessive eye makeup, excessive sweating, steam rooms, saunas, frequent massages (because of the face cradle), and sleeping on your face will all cause premature loss. With good aftercare and regular maintenance, the lashes will last a long time and hold up well to daily life. Most clients fall in the 2-3 week range for fills.
During your initial appointment you will have a consultation about your desired look and expectations and my style of lashing. If we are a good fit, you will lie down with your eyes closed for approximately one hour and thirty minutes. The process is completely painless. The fills are shorter in time, but most women find them relaxing enough to take a short nap! There will be soft music playing and I enjoy getting to know my clients if they are not in the mood to rest.
Eyelash extensions are for a low maintenance lifestyle. They require no attention besides your fills. The best thing you can do for your lashes is leave them alone! They do not do well with oil, so makeup containing oil must be avoided. In the first 24 hours it is important to keep them dry and stay out of excessive heat. Other than that, you will not feel like you need mascara and will wake up feeling beautiful with no makeup at all!
Every woman that comes in to Luna Lash gets a totally unique set. Some women like them natural, some like them longer, thicker or shorter.
