Question 1

How are eyelash extensions applied?

Accepted Answer

Our eyelash extensions are applied individually, one by one, 1mm away from the eyelid, never directly on the skin, to your natural eyelashes using a medical-grade formaldehyde-free adhesive. Lash extensions come in different lengths, thicknesses, and curls, results can vary from very subtle and natural to very noticeable and dramatic.

Question 2

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

No, eyelash extensions are painless. Most clients feel comfortable enough to fall asleep during the procedure. At The Beautique, we use superior quality products to bring the highest level of comfort possible for our clients.

Question 3

What do I need to do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive with no makeup on or around the eye area. When removing makeup around the eyes, use a mild cleanser and avoid using moisturizers, sunscreen, and removers that have oil-based formulas. Lashes must be clean for the adhesive to bond properly.

Question 4

I wear contacts, may I wear them during the procedure?"

Accepted Answer

We recommend removing your contact lenses before lash application.

Question 5

How long do eyelash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions last 2-5 weeks on average depending on a number of factors such as aftercare, hair quality, weather, etc.

Question 6

What can I do to make my extensions last longer?

Accepted Answer

You may get your extension wet but it is best to avoid lots of water for the first 24 hours after your appointment, keep out of any steam rooms/saunas/swimming pools to give the adhesive sufficient time to bond to the natural lash. Avoid vigorous rubbing of the eyes or tugging at your lashes. Do not use oil-based makeup or makeup removers.
 
Keep your lashes clean! With your full set of extensions you are given all the tools you need to keep your lashes full and clean.

Question 7

Will I lose my own lashes?

Accepted Answer

No, as long as you refrain from rubbing your eyes or tugging at the extensions you will not lose your own lashes. Please refer to the aftercare instructions in your starter packet for further information.

Question 8

How do you remove eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Removals are done by the lash artist. Do not attempt to remove the lash extensions yourself, it is best to schedule an appointment to have them professionally removed with a special removing solvent. You may also wait for your natural lash cycle to complete and have the extensions fall off naturally.

Question 9

Understanding your eyelash growth cycle:

Accepted Answer

Although it may not seem like it, hair growth is a preset function of the body. Every hair on your body follows a specific growth cycle and will grow to a specific length. Hair follows a three-phase growth cycle and eventually falls out, which is typically nothing to worry about.

Question 10

Anagen (Growth) Phase

Accepted Answer

The anagen phase is also called the growth phase. This is the phase when lashes are actively growing, and it lasts between 30 and 45 days. Only about 40 percent of the upper lashes and 15 percent of the lower lashes are in the anagen phase at any one time. Each lash will grow to a specific length and then stop.

Question 11

Catagen (Transition) Phase

Accepted Answer

The catagen phase is also known as the transition phase. During this phase, the lash stops growing and the hair follicle shrinks. If an eyelash falls out or is plucked out during this phase, it won't grow back right away because the follicle needs to complete the catagen phase before it can move on to the next one. This phase lasts between two and three weeks.

Question 12

Telogen (Resting) Phase

Accepted Answer

The telogen phase is also referred to as the resting phase. This phase can last more than 100 days before the eyelash falls out and a new one begins to grow. Because each individual lash is in its own phase of the growing cycle, it's normal for a few lashes to fall out most days. It typically takes between four and eight weeks to fully replace an eyelash.

Question 13

Classic Eyelash Application vs. Volume

Accepted Answer

Classic lashes are one extension applied to one natural lash only. Classic lashes are suitable for the following:
-Clients that have a good amount of healthy natural lashes
-Clients that are younger and have few gaps in their lash line
-Clients that desire a natural/medium effect

Question 14

Russian Volume and Mega Volume

Accepted Answer

Volume is an extremely advanced technique. Volume is the use of multiple ultra fine extensions, that are hand created into a "fan" at the time of application by me using specially designed tweezers. This allows for coverage and fullness than cannot be created with classic extensions.
