Many people have worn false lashes in the past and there are many who have yet to explore! Just in case you had some questions about eyelash extensions, I provided a few answers for you!
How long do the temporary lashes and eyelash extensions last?
Temporary lashes (flares) usually last 1-2 WEEKS. Semi-Permanent eyelash extensions last 60-90 days!
How is the service performed?
Temporary flares are applied while slightly reclined in a chair or on a massage table...contact lenses can remain in the eye during the application. Process takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. Individual flares are applied on top of, inbetween or under you natural lashes while eyes are open. Semi-Permanent eyelash extensions are applied while fully reclined on a massage table, contact lenses must be removed, eyes will be closed during entire procedure. A single synthetic lash is applied to your natural lashes one by one! This process takes AT LEAST 90 minutes!
Does the extensions make my natural lash fall out?
The extensions will not make your natural lash fall out! Your natural lashes shed during a cycle of 60-90 days. Therefore "fills" are recommended, especially with the semi-permanent eyelash extensions.
When will I need a "refill"?
Since your natural lashes will shed over the 60-90 day period, a fill 3-4 weeks is recommended with semi-permanent eyelash extensions. A new set of temporary extensions should be applied after 10-14 days!
How do I take care of my new lashes?
Avoid RUBBING, PULLING OR TOUCHING YOUR LASH EXTENSIONS!!. (If you have a habit of pulling on your own lashes I suggest NOT getting extensions!) Here is where the extensions differ:
Temporary flares- wash face noramally, apply make-up, no swimming, very careful in shower, no sauna, extremely careful while sleeping during the entire time you wear the extensions
Semi-permament eyelash extensions- after the first 24 hours you can go swimming, in the sauna, shower, facials, apply make-up, be careful not to sleep directly on your face!
Can I curl my eyelash extensions?
Temporary lashes-NO! They will already have a beautiful natural curl, no eyelash curler needed!
The semi-permanent eyelash extensions also have more curl...yet for those who just can't do without...I recommend the Xtreme Lashes® Heated Eyelash Curler!
Is the extension glued to my skin?
NO! Each lash extension is attached to your natural lash, about 1mm away from your eyelid.
What should I do BEFORE I get my eyelash extensions?
Cleanse your eyelids & lashes thoroughly, remove contact lenses (for semi-permanent extensions) and no make-up around the eye.
How long will the prodecure take?
Temporary extensions take about 15-20 minutes to apply. Since semi-permanent extensions are done lash by lash, it will take at least 90 minutes to apply!
Can the lah extensions be removed?
YES! If at anytime or for any reason you want to remove the lashes, a special formula can be applied for SAFE and EASY removal! I do NOT suggest removing the lash extensions yourself!
Do I have to get the same lashes as everyone else?
NO! Lashes By Toya, LLC provides eyelash extensions in various lengths, colors and curl. Exotic, feather and mink lashes are also available upon request!
