Get answers to common questions about Eyelash Extensions.

Extensions follow your natural lash growth cycle and usually last 2–4 weeks. Most clients schedule refill appointments every 2–3 weeks to replace shedding lashes and maintain density. Proper aftercare can help maximize retention and extend time between fills.

Yes, when applied by experienced technicians using medical-grade adhesives and hypoallergenic materials. Inform your stylist about sensitivities or contact lens use so they can select suitable adhesive and application methods. A patch test is recommended for highly sensitive clients.

Mascara is generally unnecessary and not recommended for classic or volume extensions, as it can clump and shorten their life. If needed, use only extension-safe, water-based mascara on tips and avoid oil-based makeup or waterproof formulas.

Avoid oil-based products, rubbing, and steam for the first 24–48 hours. Clean lashes gently with recommended cleanser, brush daily with a clean spoolie, and sleep on your back when possible. Schedule regular fills to maintain fullness and lash health.

A full set typically takes 90–150 minutes depending on desired volume and lash mapping complexity. Classic sets are quicker; volume or hybrid styles require more time. Plan accordingly for your appointment to ensure relaxed, detailed application.

When properly applied and maintained, extensions should not damage natural lashes. Damage usually results from improper application, excessive weight, or tugging. Choose a certified technician, attend regular fills, and avoid pulling or using oil-based removers to protect natural growth.
