But you don't have to be a celebrity to wear them. Women everywhere are catching on and becoming Lash Addicted!

 

The extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They provide length and thickness to your own lashes and are available in varying lengths and thickness. They are applied to your individual eyelashes, one lash at a time. There is no need for mascara even though a water based mascara is fine to use. The result is thicker, longer, eye opening eyelashes that are safe in the shower, while swimming, sleeping or exercising.

 

Eyelash extensions are great for everyday wear or special occasions. Eyelash extensions have gained a tremendous amount of popularity in the last couple of years because the look achieved is so natural. Whether you are looking for an everyday look, lashes for your wedding day or just a weekend away  professionals have a perfected technique that will transform your look to WOW!

 

What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are a popular new service and product that lengthens and thickens your own natural eyelashes. Lash Extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a natural, beautiful and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for day to day wear.

What do Eyelash Extensions look like when applied?
With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. No one will know you have extensions. They will just think you were born with beautiful, long lashes!

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions Last?
When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes. Everyone's experience will differ based on day to day activities but over all touch-ups should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any fumes or irritants and is long lasting.

How often should I get touch-ups?
We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural eyelashes fall off every 45 - 60 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that fallen. Touch ups average about 45 minutes.

 

Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara it can be worn.. It must however only  Xtreme lashes Mascara can be used sparingly on the tips only. To achieve an even more dramatic look You may also use Xtreme lashes mascara on your lower lashes. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.

 

Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do recommend however that you do not wash your eye area for about 48  hours after the eyelash application it takes 48 hours for the adhesive to cure(dry) thoroughly and yield a strong durable bond. During this time the adhesive bond is vulnerable to moisture, steam, excessive heat, cosmetic ingredients coming into contact with the adhesive and friction from rubbing and cleansing.  The following activities will result in a weaker bond and premature lash extension loss, and therefore should be avoided during the first 48 hours.

 

  • Showering
  • Exposure to heat, steam, sauna, friction
  • Eyelash and eye cosmetics
  • Sleeping on side, face or stomach
  • Chemical treatments such as tinting and Perming
  • Irritating eye area treatments, such as strong chemical peels, skin resurfacing procedures, eyebrow waxing and laser treatments.

 

Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions?
We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required we recommend using a heated eyelash curler.

How do I take care of my new Eyelash Extensions? Changes salon & Spa has a complete line of eyelash products, facial cleansers, lint free extreme applicators, mascara,

Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe?
Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. We recommend only using a Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist.

 

How long will it take to Apply Eyelash Extensions and how is it done?
The application process for lash extensions normally takes anywhere from 45 min. - 1.5 hours with someone who is experienced doing these. If you go to a newly certified professional it may take up to 3 hours. You will lay comfortably on a massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will then apply an under eye gel pad to cover your lower lashes. Then the extensions will be applied to each individual eyelash on a hair by hair basis as you sleep!

 

How do I choose the look I want?
Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. We normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to size. Each person's lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The overall look of the lashes is very natural

 

What if I do if I do if I want them removed?

 

They can be professional removed with a special eye lash extension  remover. The removal process take about 15-30 minutes.. Never try to remove the eye lashes  extensions on your own, damage can be caused by pulling the eye lash  extensions off your natural lashes.

 

Eyelash extension professionals specialize in this revolutionary new service that will extend your natural eyelashes and draw attention to your eyes. Eye Extensions are perfect for everyday wear as well as special occasions. They are semi-permanent and made from synthetic fibres. Each lash is applied one by one to your own natural lashes. With proper care and touch-ups visits eye lash extensions can last a very long time. Normally a person's natural eyelash falls out every 60 - 90 days and a new lash grows in immediately. Therefore, it is necessary to get eye lash extension  touch-ups to fill in the fallen lashes. About every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended, however, this will vary from person to person. Your natural lash cycle as well as how you take care of your lashes will affect how long they last. Some Xtreme eyelash extensions clients have had their extensions for years with regular touch-ups visits.
