What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are synthetic lashes applied individually and directly to your natural lashes. They are applied close to your lash line with semi permanent bonding adhesive. They are available in different lengths and thicknesses chosen to suit you.
How long do Eyelash Extensions last?
Eyelash extensions can last up to five weeks, the extensions last until the natural lash falls out during its cycle. It is advised to have them refilled every 3 – 4 weeks if you want to maintain them as they will start to thin out over time. You will lose more lashes if you wear a lot of make up or have quite oily skin as this will soften the adhesive causing more to fall out.
Do Eyelash Extensions damage your natural lashes?
No! The eyelash extensions are applied individually and correctly to maintain your eyelash health. To ensure the ongoing health of your lashes, we highly recommend that you take the advice of the technician regarding the maximum thickness and length that would be appropriate long-term for your natural lashes. The eyelash extensions come off when your natural lash falls out, and so long as an appropriate weight extension has been applied, your natural lashes will grow through as normal. Please listen to the technicians’ advice about how long/heavy you should go if you have naturally thin or sparse lashes. Don’t try to remove the eyelash extensions yourself – as this could easily damage your natural lashes, as the adhesive bond is extremely strong.
How do I care for my Eyelash Extensions?
When you leave your appointment your lashes will be dry but it is advised to keep them away from water for the first 24 hours to allow the adhesive to completely bond your new lashes. After that it is important to to avoid products that contain oil especially around your eyes.
Can I wear make-up with my Eyelash Extensions?
Yes you can. Most eyeshadows and eyeliners are fine as long as they are gently removed with an oil free remover and cotton tip. If eyeliner is being used every day it is recommended to invest in products that are designed to use with the extensions. These products are sold at Ona Salon the difference between these products and the ones you have at home are that they are oil free therefore being safer to use on your lashes so you get maximum time out of them.
Can I wear contact lenses/glasses with my Eyelash Extensions?
Yes of course. However you may find it more comfortable to remove your contacts before your appointment as your eyes will be closed for a period of time. Also please notify if you do wear glasses so a suitable length can be advised.
