LASH EXTENSIONS FAQ'S
What are Lavish Lashes?
An exciting new product and technique for fuller longer, and naturally abundant looking eyelashes. Eyelashes are made thicker and longer through professional application of an individual synthetic eyelash directly attached to the natural eyelash with a specially formulated bonding agent. Lavish Lashes® Professional Eyelash Extensions are for professional use only and must be applied by someone trained and certified in applying eyelash extensions.
I wear contacts, can I receive lash extensions?
We ask you to bring a contact lens case and saline solution to your appointment, if you wear contact lenses. As a safety precaution you will be required to remove your lenses before the lashes are applied. Wearing contact lenses while getting lash extensions is a safety issue and may be uncomfortable. After the lashes are applied, you can put your contact lenses back in, or if more convenient, just wear glasses to your appointment.
How often do I need a fill?
Like your nails and the hair on your head, your individual eyelashes grow out on a continuous cycle of replenishment. The average cycle of a single lash is about 100 days. While some individual eyelash extensions may last as long as 2 months, to ideally maintain the fullness and for best results, we recommend you re-lash every 2-3 weeks weeks.
Will I lose my natural lashes with extensions?
The average life span of an eyelash is between 90 and 120 days. And, of course, when your natural eyelash falls out, so does your extension. Everyone’s eyelash growth cycle differs, and often eyelash extensions can last up to several weeks. On average, a person naturally loses 1 – 4 eyelashes every day. With proper care of your lashes at home you will not lose your natural lashes beyond your natural growth cycle. We recommend ReVitalash growth conditioner to maintain healthy lash growth and to support your natural lash growth cycle.
Can I curl my eyelashes when I have extensions?
The lashes have a natural looking curve, so there is no need to use an eyelash curler.
Can I wet my lashes / go swimming / spa?
Shower, swim or spa worry free. Occasional short visits to the sauna or steam room are fine. However, daily or extensive exposure to steam or intense heat may cause the bonding agent to loosen. If this happens, you may require a Re-Lavish application to correct any lash that may have fallen off or tilted in direction from your natural lash.
