Lash extensions basics

•  The eyelashes can take up to 1 hour 30 mins to apply.

•  No, it doesn’t hurt at all. Most of our clients fall asleep during the process.

•  With our new and improved adhesive formula, you can get your lashes wet right away! However, we recommend keeping them dry for 8 hours for the best result.

•  Our faux mink lashes hold their curl even during the hottest summer weather. They are a natural matte black color. They do not look plastic like other brands.

•  If looked after properly, they can last for weeks.

•  Lash extensions prices at Lash Art- Houston's Lash Artists start from $99 for a classic look, refills prices are cheaper.

•  We specialize in Volume lashes and most of our clients have the Volume Lashes. It is an advanced technique and a special type of soft lashes.

•  The extensions fall out naturally over time (because that’s what your natural eyelashes do). But if you want them removed, do NOT do it yourself – get them removed by a flash professional. The process is quick, easy & painless.

•  You won’t feel the need to wear mascara, but you can if you’re feeling extra. Just be careful when removing your makeup – use an oil-free makeup remover, and rub very gently. Stick to oil-free products because the oil will break-down the glue.

•  You don’t have to have a break in between applications. And you can have little top ups if you’re in the market for that sort of thing.

•  In the state of Texas, it is required for the lash stylist to be licensed. All of our stylists are licensed and are advanced certified.

Frequently Asked Questions about Eyelash Extensions

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions are semi-permanent eyelash extensions made of individual synthetic eyelashes that are curved to mimic a natural eyelash. They are applied on to individual eyelashes, one by one, for a natural, elegant look to lengthen and add fullness to the existing lashes. Eyelash Extensions are for professional application only. Self-application and application by untrained individuals are strongly discouraged.

What are Eyelash Extensions made out of?

Lash Art’s Eyelash Extensions are crafted from synthetic polyester, the result is natural and lightweight Faux Mink Lashes. They respond well to wear and tear. In addition, synthetics have the least possible chance of allergic reactions with human skin.

What do they look like and how do they feel?

With proper application, Eyelash Extensions look and feel completely real. Each application is customized to suit the individual. We offer a variety of thicknesses of lashes and different curls. Varying individual synthetic lash lengths are chosen to carefully replicate the shape and frame of a natural lash line. The thickness of Eyelash Extensions applied is determined by the health and thickness of your natural lashes as well as personal preference. The overall effect is added curl, thickness, and length, opening up the eye for added definition.

Eyelash Extensions are designed to be indistinguishable in size and weight to human lashes. They are flexible yet crimp-resistant, and they move with your natural lashes. As long as you keep up with the touch-up applications, it is hard for others to tell that you are wearing the extensions.

Please feel free to review our client testimonials and before/after pictures for additional information on the look and feel of Eyelash Extensions.

What are the benefits of wearing Eyelash Extensions?

Most women choose Eyelash Extensions to lengthen their natural lashes while others want their lashes to look fuller. A number of women with naturally light colored lashes choose Eyelash Extensions to darken their existing lashes. Eyelash Extensions can create a younger appearance on many clients. Several consumers who were contemplating having work done on their faces have informed us that they no longer feel the need as a result of wearing Eyelash Extensions. Eyelash Extensions create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, thereby creating a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Above all, the main advantage of Eyelash Extensions is how much time you can save during your beauty regimen. Eyelash Extensions allow you to spend less time with makeup; mascara is certainly no longer necessary. Because our lashes are bigger at the base, they create the same effect as eyeliner so that step can be avoided as well. Overall, Eyelash Extensions will give you the appearance of having put significant effort into your eye makeup when, in reality, you spent no time at all. No application of eye makeup and no need for removal at the end of the day. The added benefit is that they look beautiful morning and night, all day, every day. Say goodbye to the application of mascara, stained tears and mascara raccoon masks around the eyes. You can look and feel gorgeous from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep with little to no effort.

How long do Eyelash Extensions Last?

The look can be maintained indefinitely with refills.

Natural eyelashes grow in and fall out in cycles (every 60 to 90 days). When a natural lash matures and falls out, a new lash has already been growing and quickly replaces it without us noticing the turnover. This process is constant and at any given moment our many natural lashes are at different stages of maturity. Some are just growing in, while others are ready to shed. People typically shed between 1 and 5 natural lashes each day, depending on their individual growth cycles. On shorter natural lashes, this growing and shedding cycle is virtually unnoticeable.

When eyelashes are extended with Eyelash Extensions, it will be more noticeable when these lashes shed because they are longer and darker than natural lashes. Please keep in mind this is a perfectly normal occurrence, with or without extensions. Lash Stylists will apply for Eyelash Extensions primarily to those lashes that are in the middle of their maturation cycle to maximum the amount of time they will last, without jeopardizing the health of ‘baby' lashes. The lash will fall out with the natural lash it is attached to when it reaches the end of its growth cycle. A few lashes may shed within the first week because the attached natural lashes are at the end of their growth cycle. Most will remain in place until the end of their cycle.

With proper care and maintenance, touch-ups are typically only needed once every 2 to 4 weeks to replace the lashes that have shed. Your Stylist will add extensions to the newest mature natural lashes to maintain a full, lush appearance.

How long does the procedure take?

Depending on the expertise and experience of the Lash Stylist and the number of lashes being applied, it generally takes between 90 to 120 minutes to apply a full set of Eyelash Extensions. Touch-ups can be done in as little as 50 to 75 minutes.

Can you describe the application process?

You will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed while Eyelash Extensions are applied one at a time to your own natural eyelashes. There is no discomfort or pain involved in the procedure. Our adhesive is not fumey and does not cause burning, red-eyes, watering eyes ( Please advise your Stylist if you have really sensitive eyes). Most of our clients find our service so relaxing and comfortable that they fall asleep.

I have no lashes at all, can I wear Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions?

Because Eyelash Extensions are applied to existing natural lashes you must have some natural lashes to receive the procedure. Eyelash Extensions should not, and in many cases cannot be applied to clients who have alopecia, are undergoing chemotherapy or those who suffer from Trichotillomania, unless and until the individual has received effective treatment and normal lash growth has resumed.

Can I apply Eyelash Extensions to my own eyelashes?

No. Only a trained professional will be able to safely apply for Eyelash Extensions. Unprofessional application or self-application may cause eye injury, lash damage or unnatural looking lashes. Eyelash Extensions are applied one lash at a time to your individual natural eyelashes to achieve long, thick and natural looking eyelashes. The procedure involves bonding the synthetic extension to your own natural eyelashes and should be performed only by professionally trained Lash Stylists only.

How much does it cost for an application of Eyelash Extensions?

The major investment in Eyelash Extensions consists of the initial full set, typically between 70 and 120 lashes per eye. Quality and professional work can run anywhere from $99 to $350, depending on how many lashes are applied, the skill level of the Lash Stylist and in what part of the country you are located. The application of Eyelash Extensions is an art form, and just as with hair styling and cutting, it can cost a bit more to have your lashes styled by the best. Once the initial set has been completed, touch-ups are nominal by beauty industry standards.

An Eyelash Extensions touch up application costs substantially less than the initial application, usually ranging from $59-$95. Given this, the cost of maintaining your eyelash extensions indefinitely is really quite comparable to the cost of fills on acrylic nails or highlighting your hair.

One note of caution: We hear countless stories of individuals who go to an untrained lash technician because the cost is low. They receive a substandard set of lashes that is clumpy, painful and often damaging to their lashes. A proper application of lashes is not painful during or after the procedure. Eyelash extension application is an exacting process that takes skill and time. If the cost is very cheap, you should certainly question the training of the technician as well as the quality of the product. These same individuals often end up seeking out our Stylists after they try the cheap alternatives. Ultimately, most have realized from experience that the old adage “you get what you pay for” is often true.

Where can I find a Licensed and Certified Eyelash Extensions Lash Stylist?

When looking for a trusted lash stylist. Pay attention to their qualification. Make sure they are licensed in the state that you live in. In today’s industry standards, licensed stylists farther their education with training courses that Certify them with newer and better techniques. However, a Certified stylist does not mean they are Licensed. When getting your lashes service, make sure you look at the stylist’s license, it must be displayed in clear view. A Certification is not the same as a License.

At Lash Art, all of our stylists are licensed in the state of Texas and have received extended training, therefore, we are certified in the most up to date techniques.

What is the Complete Process of Eyelash Extension?

In recent years, eyelash extensions have become very popular as more people want longer, thicker, and more dramatic lashes. Without the need for mascara or fake eyelashes, these extensions provide a quick and semi-permanent way to get the illusion of thick lashes. This article will provide you a thorough overview if you've ever wondered about the whole eyelash extension procedure, from consultation to upkeep.

The Consultation and Evaluation Process

The consultation and evaluation phase are the first in the eyelash extension procedure. In your first consultation with a licensed lash technician, you will talk about your expectations, preferences, and any worries you may have. The technician will evaluate the length, thickness, and general health of your natural lashes at this time.

The technician will choose the best lash style, length, and curl for your requirements if you tell them what you want. In addition, this meeting offers a chance to discuss any underlying medical issues, allergies, or sensitivities that could impact the treatment.

Choosing the Right Eyelash Extensions

Your lash specialist will assist you in selecting the ideal eyelash extensions after they have a thorough knowledge of your tastes and requirements. With the variety of lengths, thicknesses, and curls available, lash extensions let you create a broad spectrum of appearances, from glamorous to natural.

Common options for eyelash extensions include:

•    Length: Lash extensions vary from 8mm to 15mm, and your technician will assist you pick the right length for your eye shape and look.

•    Thickness: Thicknesses vary, with smaller extensions seeming more natural and bigger ones more striking.

•    Curl: Lash extensions come in several varieties, including J-, C-, and D-curls. The choice of curl depends on the effect you want to achieve; D-curl gives a more dramatic appearance, while J-curl offers a more natural look.

Preparing for the Procedure

There are a few crucial pre-procedure measures that you and your technician need to do before applying eyelash extensions:

•    Eliminate makeup: You should have clear, makeup-free eyes when you go to your visit. This guarantees that your natural lashes and the lash adhesive will link together successfully.

•    Steer clear of caffeine: On appointment day, restrict coffee consumption since it might make your eyes jittery and harder to focus.

•    Avoid using contact lenses: It's best to wear glasses throughout the day if you use contact lenses, since they may cause issues with the lash extension procedure.

The Eyelash Extension Application Process

Eyelash extension application might take one to two hours, depending on the style and amount of lashes. Here's a summary of the actions needed:

•    Preparation: To prevent tangles and adhesion to the top lashes, your technician will separate your lower lashes with medical-grade tape.

•    Lash selection: Based on your preferences and requirements, the technician will choose each individual lash extension, and they will be prepared for installation.

•    Application: The technician will adhere each lash extension to your natural lashes using a specially designed, semi-permanent glue. Usually, they will gently pick up an extension, dip it in glue, and attach it to a single natural lash using an instrument that resembles a tweezer. Each lash extension goes through this procedure once more, and the extensions are positioned carefully to get the desired effect.

•    Drying: You must shut your eyes for a few minutes after applying all of the extensions in order for the glue to completely cure. A fan might also be used by the technician to expedite the drying process.

Maintenance and Aftercare

To make sure your eyelash extensions look their best and last as long as possible, proper maintenance and upkeep are essential. Here are a few crucial pointers:

•    Avoid water and steam for the first 24-48 hours: Avoid water, steam, and heat for 24–48 hours following the treatment to enable the adhesive to cure.

•    Be gentle with your lashes: To prevent your lash extensions from coming loose or falling out too soon, don't rub or tug on them.

•    Use oil-free products: Make sure your skincare and cosmetics products are oil-free before using them near your eyes. Products with an oil basis have the potential to degrade the glue and cause lash extension loss.

•    Brush your lashes: To maintain your lashes appearing nice and preventing tangling, gently comb them every day with a clean spoolie brush.

•    Avoid sleeping on your face: To minimize friction and harm to your lash extensions, try sleeping on your back or with your face tipped to the side.

•    Schedule regular fills: Semi-permanent, lash extensions will fall out naturally with your own lashes. Depending on your lash development cycle, fill visits should be scheduled every 2-4 weeks to maintain the full and even look.

Potential Risks and Allergies

Even while eyelash extensions are usually safe, there are still hazards and sensitivities to take into account. After the operation, some people may have moderate pain, itching, or redness in the hours or days that follow. See your lash technician right away, or seek medical attention if you have any serious reactions or if your eyes swell.

Although they are uncommon, allergic reactions to the glue used in lash extensions may happen. Before the operation, professionals usually do a patch test to lower the risk. This is putting a little bit of adhesive on your forearm or behind your ear to see if there are any negative responses.

Removal of Eyelash Extensions

If you want to remove your eyelash extensions or have concerns, follow the right method. If you try to take out the extensions on your own, you run the risk of hurting your natural lashes. An expert lash specialist will remove extensions in the following manner:

•    The specialist will treat the extensions with a specific lash extension remover. The glue is broken down by this solution, enabling the extensions to gently come off.

•    They will delicately remove the extensions from your natural lashes using a microfiber brush or a specialist equipment. To prevent harming your natural lashes, you must proceed with extreme patience and gentleness throughout this procedure.

•    Your natural lashes may be cleaned and condition after the extensions are taken out to make sure they are healthy and prepared for future extensions, if that is what you would want.

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions

Many advantages are available to people who want longer, more voluminous lashes with eyelash extensions:

•    Time-saving: By removing the need for mascara and lash curling, eyelash extensions allow you to save time on your daily beauty regimen.

•    Natural appearance: When placed by a trained professional, eyelash extensions may enhance your eyes without coming off as too dramatic.

•    Customization: To get the precise appearance you want, you may customize the length, thickness, and curl of your lash extensions.

•    Prolonged: Eyelash extensions may retain their beauty and appeal for many weeks with the right upkeep and care.

•    Confidence boost: Even without makeup, many people discover that having eyelash extensions gives them a more polished and self-assured appearance.

Conclusion

Your appearance may be drastically changed with eyelash extensions, which give you longer, thicker, and more dramatic lashes. For those who want to accentuate their inherent attractiveness, eyelash extensions often outweigh the dangers and disadvantages involved. Choose a trained and skilled technician to help you get the best appearance for your style to get the most out of lash extensions.
