Eyelash extensions , also known as permanent false eyelashes or semi-permanent eyelash extensions, are the latest trend that has swept the beauty industry and has become a favorite of many celebrities.

The treatment itself is painless and involves synthetic lashes that are applied directly to each individual lash.

What does a lash stylist do?

A lash stylist works with eyelash extensions. There are several different techniques, but they all have the same goal: Give the customer the best and most lasting result possible. A lash stylist works by gluing artificial eyelashes onto the regular ones to make them look longer. A lash stylist usually offers a variety of different lengths, thicknesses and curls of the lashes so that you can choose exactly the “look” you want to achieve.

It can be anything from a subtle enhancement to a full on “false lash” effect. The permanent false eyelashes and semi permanent eyelash extensions are suitable for all ages and also provide an anti-ageing look for older ladies, giving the illusion of lifted and defined eyes.

What should you consider before going to a lash stylist?

No mascara or makeup on either lashes or eyelids. Also avoid cream around the area on the day of treatment. You should also avoid using eyelash curlers, as well as permanent eyelash curling and eyelash dye. Also, do not use greasy creams or oil-based remover on the lashes before your eyelash extensions.

Can you wear makeup when getting lashes done?

Absolutely! Just remember to avoid makeup for the first day after treatment so that the perm can set properly. Once the first 24 hours have passed, it is fine to use mascara. Please avoid waterproof mascara so as not to impair the result or durability of the lash lift.

Things to consider after your treatment

Avoid water for the first 24 hours. The glue has a curing period of about 24 hours and if the lashes get wet before this time they will come off.

Do not use any oil products on or near the lashes, this will cause the glue to dissolve. Wash your lashes every day and use eye makeup that is easy to remove. Avoid waterproof eye makeup as you will often need oil-based cleansers to remove it. and finally, do not pick or rub unnecessarily.
