Question 1

What are an eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent application used to enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. The extensions are made from various synthetic material that can be clarified as silk, faux mink or premium mink depending on the texture and the look of it.nThe method of applying the eyelash extensions is by using a cyanoacrylate adhesive to apply single or multiple lightweight extensions to a single isolated natural lash. It is 0.05mm-1mm away from the eyelid but not touching the skin to prevent any irritation.n

Question 2

How are eyelash extensions applied?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions are applied using a professional lash adhesive to a single natural lash. A small 0.05 mm gap is left from the end of the extension to the eyelid to prevent irritation. Depending on what style you choose, between 1-10 lightweight extensions can be applied to each natural lash. The process can take anywhere between 1-2.5 hrs depending on how full you’d like your lashes to look.

Question 3

How long do eyelash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

Usually, eyelash extensions will last between 5-6 weeks. If you’d like to maintain the fullness, it’s recommended to get an infill every 2-4 weeks.nHow long your extensions last depends on many factors such as how well you care for them, the products you use on the eye area and your lash shedding cycle.nAftercare is very important to maintain the look and extend the longevity of the extensions. The skin products you use on your face plays a big part as to whether your extensions will last long. Anything oil-based is not good for the extensions.nEveryone has different lash growth cycle. Over time we’ll be able to determine your lash growth cycle. It’s usually every 5-6 weeks or so. The natural lashes grow and fall just like your hair. When your lashes fall out, they will take the extensions with them. You’ll lose many lashes every cycle, this is normal. For healthy people, you’ll lose about 3-4 lashes per day. That’s about 21-28 per week. That’s why we recommend to get an infill between 2-4 weeks to maintain the fullness.nYou can check out some more detailed Aftercare advice heren

Question 4

What do you recommend for me to do before my eyelash extensions appointment?

Accepted Answer

Very good question!nWhat you do before your lash appointment has an impact on the retention of the set. We always recommend our clients to do a few things before the appointment:n●tNot wear any makeup or mascaran●tAvoid using any oil-based products like moisturiser, eye cream, face lotion or any eye makeup remover 24 hours before you attend the appointmentn●tAvoid taking anti histamine 24 hours before your appointmentn●tLet us know if you recently just had fillers or botox donen●tAvoid drinking a lot of fluid before your treatment to minimise interruptions to the treatment (coffee often makes people restless and want to go to toilet!)n

Question 5

What are the types of eyelash extensions you use and what is the difference between them?

Accepted Answer

This is a very common question we get asked. Being in the lash industry and having used these materials for many years, we’re very familiar with the features of each material and why you might choose one over the other. All of our lashes are vegan and cruelty-free!nWe use Silk, Faux mink, Flat Lashes and Premium Faux Mink to do our eyelash extensions sets. Which type we use depends on your preference and the condition of your natural lashes. Each fibre has unique look and feel. You don’t have to worry about choosing which material prior to your appointment, our lash technician will assess your lashes and recommend a material for you.nSilk eyelash extensions: A synthetic fibre with a shinny/natural black finish, soft to touch and slightly finer. Silk is available for all classic and volume lash sets.nFaux-Mink eyelash extensions: We love animals so we’re against animal cruelty, which is why we don’t support and will never use real mink fur for our eyelash extensions. Real mink will not hold its curl once it’s wet and is prone to allergic reactions. Imagine having animal hairs on your eyes, no thanks! We use Faux-Mink synthetic fibres designed to replicate real mink fur. They are matte black in color and soft to touch.nFlat eyelash extensions: Flat lashes get their name because the cross section of the extension is flatter or more oval in shape than traditional eyelash extensions. They still come in all the different curl options as other lash types. The flatter shape allows them to give a thicker, fuller look without any extra weight because each fibre appears wider but doesn’t weigh more than a regular extension.nPremium Faux Mink eyelash extensions: This premium fibre is our newest range and is exclusive to Blink Lashes. It has a matte finish and is super soft like velvet. The shaft of the extension has a micro hollow section which can absorb the adhesive without looking clumpy when we apply them. Because the fibre absorbs the adhesive better, the retention is generally longer than other lash types.n

Question 6

How do you recommend to remove my eye makeup when I have eyelash extensions on?

Accepted Answer

You must use an oil-free, eyelash foam cleanser.nOil-based products will break the bond between the extensions and the natural lashes causing the extensions to fall out.nWe recommend FRESH LASH Eyelash Foam Cleanser that’s safe and specifically made to use for eyelash extensions. We have them in stock so just ask us for more info.n

Question 7

I saw my natural lashes fall out with the eyelash extensions, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Some people don’t actually realize this, but every day, we lose anywhere from 1-5 natural lashes. Much like the hairs on our head, they replace themselves as new ones grow! Usually twice a year, particularly end of Summer and beginning of Spring you will notice that you lose more natural lashes than normal, this is called “seasonal shedding”. When it happens, you’ll normally find that your lashes seem to be falling out more quickly than normal and that a lot of new baby lashes have come through. Don’t be too concerned, it happens to everyone. If you are worried, get in touch with us so we can assess the health of your lashes anytime.n

Question 8

Can I swim if I have eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes of course. That’s the good thing about having eyelash extensions on. You will look pretty all the time – when you wake up, straight out of the shower, working out and even in the pool (without worrying about having ‘panda eyes’). Just don’t rub them and remember to pat them dry gently after get them wet. Try to avoid swimming within the first 24 hours of getting them done!n

Question 9

Can I put make up on after getting eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely – as long as the products you use are oil-free and very low in glycol/glycerin. These ingredients will melt the glue, loosening the lash bond and causing extensions to fall out.nWe recommend:nPowder-type eyeshadows are fine – check the ingredients list of liquid/stick eyeshadow for glycol and glycerin, as sometimes these products are snuck in!nLiquid/pen liner (oil-free, of course) – gel liner tends to stick in the roots of the lashes and is tough to remove.nAvoid using mascara if possible – this product causes the extensions to clump together, and often contains oils to weaken the glue bond on your lashes. Especially waterproof mascara!nPlease Note: Mascara will make the volume fans snap shut. This means your lashes will look clumpy and stick together. We will not be able to infill volume lashes that have had mascara applied to them.nIf you are putting make up on everyday, make sure to clean your face properly especially around the eye area. If not, your eyes to get irritated regardless of whether you have eyelash extensions on or not.n

This will allow your lashes to grow through it’s normal lash cycle.nBefore starting, we’ll give you advice on the length, thickness and curl that is best for you and your natural lashes. We strongly advise to follow this advice because not doing so could result in a complication. For example, your natural lashes may be too thin or weak to support extra long and thick lashes. We always do our best to make you happy so we’re open to discussing other ways to get the look/style that you’d like.n

Question 15

Are eyelash extensions safe for pregnant ladies?

Accepted Answer

Very good question! Eyelash extensions are a safe, non-invasive cosmetic treatment which is suitable for any women, even pregnant women.nAt Blink Lashes, we use the best quality products that are designed specially for eyelash extensions and to be use around the eye area.nWe apply the extensions close to the eyelid but not touching the skin, so reactions to the glue is very rare.nIn saying that, if you are pregnant and have never had eyelash extensions before or have never been to Blink Lashes and used our products, we strongly recommend a patch test before your treatment. This patch test must be completed at least 48 hours prior to the booking.nA patch test will allow us to try the products used for the treatment on you and for you to see if the treatment will be comfortable for you or not. The treatment is required for you to lay down still for a while and this can be a little trial for you to see what it’s like lying in that position for a short time, so that you can gauge how well your body will respond to a prolonged appointment. This is highly suggested to all heavily pregnant ladies.nIf you are unlucky enough to react to the glue or the products used, your doctor might not let you go ahead with the treatment due to your pregnancy. That’s why a proper consultation and a patch test is highly recommended before proceeding the treatment.nPlease note: if we have been doing your lashes here at Blink Lashes and you become pregnant, there’s no problem continuing with the extensions. Just let us know so that we can make sure you are comfortable at all times! You’d already be familiar with all of our products and glue, so reactions are far less likely to happen.n

Question 16

Can I be allergic to eyelash extension adhesive?

Accepted Answer

Like all cosmetic products, It’s always a chance for anyone to react to this particular lash adhesive. But it is very rare. And when it happens it usually go away after you removing the extensions.nIf you experienced an allergic reaction to any eyelash extensions before (eg, red puffy swollen eyelids), we can’t guarantee that the reaction might not happen again. Sometime the condition might get worse if it happened again.nLet us know of your previous experience with the eyelash extensions!nIf you have an allergic reaction, we suggest to you to seek GP prior to making the appointment to remove the extensions. From our experience some GP might recommend not to remove the extensions straight away as it might make the condition worse or causing more irritation.nIf you have had an allergic reaction from another salon and wish to have your lashes removed, we can only make an appointment if we have a doctor’s certificate recommending immediate removal. In all other cases, it would be best to contact the salon that you originally booked at.nAny concern or not sure if you will have any allergic reaction?nWe always start with a proper consultation and a patch test before your initial appointment if you’d like.n

Question 17

I have had the eyelash extensions from somewhere else, can you do an infill?

Accepted Answer

We always welcome clients wearing extensions from elsewhere and are happy to work in with other good quality lashes, Most of the time we are unable to infill lashes done elsewhere, due to issues of quality – primarily extensions being stuck together, excess glue and cluster lashes or heavy pre-made fans being advertised as volume, which sadly many places still do.nHowever, if you are wearing good quality extensions (all properly separated from one another, no clumps or long twisted lashes) that you would like infilled, feel free to pop in and we can check your lashes to see if this is possible, or send us a clear, picture of your lashes and we’ll see if we’re able to. Often we can!n

Accepted Answer

Not at all.

This is to prevent any irritation.nIf this is your first time to eyelash extensions, we know that you might be feeling a bit nervous. Don’t worry, after the first time you’ll get used to the process and then you’ll probably get so relaxed you’ll fall asleep! (Happens a lot!)n

Question 21

When do you recommend to come back for an infill?

Accepted Answer

Question 22

Will the eyelash extensions irritate my eyes?

Accepted Answer

nNo they won’t. After the eyelash extensions are applied on your natural lashes, they will feel just like your own lashes. Not any part of the extensions will even touch your skin.

Accepted Answer

nIt will definitely look amazing on blonde lashes. The impact of the eyelash extensions is going to be even greater if you naturally have blonde lashes.

Question 26

I got eyelash extensions done somewhere else and want to get an infill, can you do it?

Accepted Answer

I got eyelash extensions done somewhere else and want to get an infill, can you do it?nWhen it comes to infilling lashes that were done elsewhere, we’re very careful. This is for two reasons.

Question 28

How do I take care of my eyelash extensions so they last as long as possible?

Accepted Answer

nThere are a few simple steps you can take to make sure you get the most out of your eyelash extensions. At your appointment, we’ll give you an Aftercare Card outlining how to take care of them, the main things to remember are:n●tAvoid wetting or dampening your lashes within the first 24 hours because the adhesive is still in its curing period. Try to avoid hot steamy showers, baths, the spa, steam room, heavy gym sessions, rain, facials, and swimming.n●tAfter 24 hours you can get them wet! Just remember to dry them gently.n●tUse only oil-free cosmetic products (especially makeup remover)n●tAvoid rubbing or pulling at your lashes. The more you touch them with your fingers, the more oil and dirt you introduce to the area. They like to be left alone!n●tBrush them gently morning and night with a lash wand (we’ll give you one for free)n●tDon’t use any lash curler as concentrated heat will burn themn●tDon’t put any mascara on your eyelash extensionsn●tThe key is to keep them “clean”. It’s best practice to wash them with a cleanser. We recommend FRESH LASH Eyelash Foam cleanser (we stock them in our salon)n●tAvoid facial treatments within the first 24 hours after your appointment. If you are getting a facial treatment, we suggest to let your beautician know that you just had eyelash extensions. Lashes don’t go well with steam and facial massage oil. They should be able to make minor adjustments to protect your lashes and still give you your favorite facial treatment.nFor more details about aftercare advice, you can go heren

Question 29

How do I look after my eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

nWe recommend to avoid water for the first 24 hours. This is because the adhesive hasn’t completely cured yet, so the bond between the extensions and natural lash is still weak. After 24 hours you can wash your face like normal. The key is to keep them clean. We recommend to clean your lashes with FRESH LASH Eyelash Foam Cleanser once a day or every two days (we stock them at our salons).nThe eyelash extensions are fragile, so be sure to be gentle with them when you brush or wash them. Don’t rub or pick your eyelashes. Don’t put mascara on your lash extensions (mascara will make them clumpy and ruin the look of it). Avoid using saunas, stream rooms or swimming for the first 48 hours.nFor a complete After Care Guide, go heren

Question 39

What are Classic lashes, Russian Volume lashes and Mega Volume lashes?

Accepted Answer

nClassic lashes are a method where 1 lash extension is glued to 1 natural lash. This method is also known as 1 to 1 or 1:1. Classic lashes are perfect for clients who already have a lot of lashes, but want to add more length. Classic lashes look more natural.nVolume lashes is a method where multiple lashes are applied to one single natural eyelash individually, using very thin and lightweight lashes. If two eyelash extensions are applied to one natural lash it’s described as 2D, if three eyelash extensions are applied to one natural eyelash then it’s described as 3D etc.nThis method is also known as “Russian volume” because it originated in Russia. The eyelash extensions used in this method are significantly thinner than the extensions used for the classic lash method.nVolume lashes are lighter, fluffier and will give you a fuller look. They’re perfect for clients who don’t have a lot of lashes, have gaps or just want a more dramatic look.nMega Volume lashes uses “Ultra fine extensions” (thinner lashes than Volume lashes). This means we can add more volume as there is less weight. We create “Bouquets” with the extensions and apply them on to one isolated natural lash using the advance volume techniques. Mega Volume lashes give you really dramatic look which is especially good for special events like weddings/engagements and parties.n

Question 40

Question 41

What’s the difference between an eyelash perm and a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

nLash PermnThe lash perm is best suited to women with long eyelashes or women with wide or open eyes.nThis treatment makes the lashes semi-permanently curled for weeks. This is achieved by wrapping the lashes around a cylindrical rod and adding perming solutions to curl the lashes.nThis creates beautiful lash curls but often the clients feel that their lashes appear short as this doesn’t lift the lash.nThe Lash LiftnWhile perming the lash actually curls the lashes, the lash lift works differently by lifting the lashes up from the base.nWhereas both methods use the same chemical solutions to perm the lashes, the lash lift uses more of a curved fan shaped device, rather than a cylindrical rod.nThe lift takes the same amount of time as a perm, but should last slightly longer. Your lashes will generally not be as curled with a lash lift compared to a lash perm.n

Question 42

Why aren’t my eyelash extensions lasting long?

Accepted Answer

nThere a quite a few things that can cause your extensions to fall off faster than usual. Here are some of the common ones:n●tUsing oily facial productsn●tBeing too rough when cleansingn●tNaturally having oily skinn●tUsing a lot of makeup (especially eye makeup)n●tActive lifestylen●tMedicationsn●tHormonal changesnPlease don’t think that it’s normal/good for lashes to last 8 weeks, it isn’t. If you’ve had lashes elsewhere, and haven’t lost many/any lashes by this point, it’s not a good sign. It means that your lashes are probably all clumped together and therefore unable to keep growing and fall out/replace themselves. They need to fall out gradually in order to grow and remain healthy! Normally it’ll be 2-3 weeks between infills, sometimes you might get away with 3-4 weeks.n(You can refer to our complete aftercare for tips on how to make your eyelash extensions last longer. If you are experiencing any issues in the first 3 days after your appointment, please contact us and we will do whatever we can do to assist you.)n

Question 46

Can I get my lashes tinted before getting eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

nYes you can, no problem. We don’t use any oily products during the tinting process to ensure that the extensions will bond perfectly with your natural lashes.

All you need to do is book for both services if you want to get them done on the same day.n

Question 47

We’ll do a proper consultation to check if it is suitable for you.n(If you want something that is noticeable, you could always increase the curl instead of the length :))n

Question 55

How do you apply eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

nEyelash extensions are applied individually ONE by ONE or multi lightweight lashes to your natural eyelashes approximately 0.5-1 mm from the eyelid using a bonding agent or what we called adhesive or lash glue. Therefore, neither the lash nor glue has contact with the skin. Only extensions are applied to one natural eyelash to avoid damaging lashes and to achieve the desired look.n
