Ultimate Guide to Eyelash Extensions

Key Benefits of Eyelash Extensions

  • Wake up ready — no mascara needed; lashes look defined from the moment you open your eyes
  • Customizable look — choose your length, curl, thickness, and style for a completely personalized result
  • Long-lasting — 4–6 weeks with proper aftercare; fills every 2–3 weeks maintain fullness
  • Natural feel — premium PBT fiber extensions are lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear
  • Saves time — eliminates daily mascara application and removal from your routine

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Consultation: Your lash artist assesses your natural lashes and discusses your desired look
  2. Preparation: Lashes are cleansed and primed; silicone eye pads protect lower lashes
  3. Application: Extensions are applied one by one (classic) or in fans (volume) to each natural lash
  4. Duration: Classic sets: 90–120 minutes; volume sets: 2–3 hours
  5. Finishing: Bonder is applied to seal adhesive bonds; lashes are brushed and shaped

  • Hybrid extensions — mix of classic and volume; textured, dimensional look between the two
  • Mega volume — 6–10+ strands per fan; maximum density; dramatic, bold sets

Choosing the Right Style for Your Eye Shape

  • Round eyes: Cat-eye map with longer outer corners for elongation
  • Hooded eyes: M or L curl for visible lift; natural or squirrel lash map
  • Monolid eyes: D or M curl; doll-eye map for maximum openness

Essential Aftercare

  • Avoid water and steam for 24–48 hours after application
  • Cleanse daily with oil-free lash shampoo
  • Apply lash sealant 1–2 times per week
  • Avoid oil-based products near the eye area
  • Schedule fills every 2–3 weeks
