![]() ![]() The main thing to remember with these activities is that you just want to make sure the extensions are not excessively exposed to heat and moisture. Please do not swim or spa (even steam from your shower) for 24 hours after your lash procedure to allow the bonding agent to fully cure. You can enjoy your lash extensions with little need to adjust your lifestyle. Our lash adhesive allows you to shower, swim, exercise, sleep and spa while wearing extensions. Yes, if these activities are not done excessively. ![]() The extensions do better when you do not use mascara, even when applied only to the bottom it can transfer to your top lashes and therefore to your extensions.Ĭan I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing lashes? ![]() Ditch the mascara-you really do not need it! If you ABSOLUTELY have to wear mascara on your bottom lashes, we ask that you avoid using waterproof or oil-based products. One advantage of having lash extensions is not needing mascara. In fact, most clients fall asleep! We play relaxing music but feel free to bring your headphones for music or an audiobook. While you relax, our licensed, certified lash artist performs the delicate task of attaching one lash at a time. Meraki will send you home with a home care kit and instructions so you do not have to remember all these “do’s and don’t’s”.ĭo I need to use any special products on my eyelash extensions?Īsk your Lash Artist what products they recommend! ![]() When shampooing or conditioning, do not allow these products to run over your eyes. Use only water-based makeup remover which we have available in our studio for purchase. (foundation, eye creams, makeup, etc.) Never pull on them. You want to make sure there is no oil in anything you use near your eyes. Oil will break down the bond of the adhesive as it is considered a surface bond inhibitor and may cause premature loss of the extension. It may seem like a lot to remember, but eyelash extensions are very easy to take care of. We want you to avoid rubbing or tugging at your eyes-you do not want to pull out your extensions as it may take your natural lash with it. If you have a habit of rubbing your eyes, eyelash extensions may not be for you. If you are unsure, call us to book a free consultation anytime. Why wouldn’t my eyelashes be “eligible” for extensions? If you are under the age of 18, your parent must accompany you to the appointment and sign a consent form for you. Our trained professionals can tell you if your natural lashes are eligible. Are eyelash extensions suitable for everyone?Īnyone of any age (women AND men) can have eyelash extensions as long as there is a healthy natural lash to adhere the extension onto. As a consumer, this is sometimes difficult to gauge, so we recommend scheduling your Fill appointment weeks in advance. You will know when about 30-40% of your lash extensions have fallen out. Growth and shedding cycles are inconsistent and random (it is common to shed anywhere between 3-5 lashes per day) so to maintain your new look, we recommend scheduling a “Fill” every 2-3 weeks. The extension will shed with your natural lash that it is attached to. If I want to keep them, what is the maintenance? Yes, we absolutely recommended lash extensions for special events such as reunions, weddings, honeymoons, vacations, proms, formals, photoshoots, etc. As the new ones come in, they will need to have extensions attached in order to maintain fullness.Ĭan I get the lashes for a one-time occasion? Extensions will fall out along with your natural lash when it’s at the end of its growth stage. Natural lashes are constantly shedding (typically between 21-90 days) and new ones are growing in their place. They are lightweight and feel totally natural. When properly applied you should not feel them at all. Again, the lashes are NOT applied to your skin-just your eyelash hair. This is done approximately 1mm from the eyelid so neither the lash or the adhesive has contact with your skin. We isolate one natural eyelash and then adhere the fan or lash extension to the base of the natural lash by using a special bonding adhesive made exclusively for eyelash extensions. The lashes are applied one lash at a time in a Classic set, or one fan at a time in a Volume set. The lashes are weightless! They should feel very comfortable and natural. The lash extensions look like natural lashes but come in different lengths, thicknesses, curls and even colors! We can achieve a natural look or a more dramatic look- whichever you prefer, by changing those factors and/or by scheduling different set appointments. The eyelash extensions we apply at Meraki Lash and Beauty Bar are individual, semi-permanent, matte black synthetic lashes that are applied to your natural lashes to make them look longer, fuller and thicker. Eyelash extensions are not to be confused with strip lashes “or cluster lashes”. ![]()
