Eyelash Extensions

After the initial consultation to establish what type of look you are after and any recommendations its time to relax and lay down on the couch.

The eyes and lashes need to be free of make-up but I will also clean the lashes to make sure they are free of any protein or oil.  This is to ensure the lash extensions bond correctly to the host lash.

I will then place small white pads under each eye which are placed over the lower lashes to keep them out of the way.  Your eyes are then kept closed for the duration of the procedure.

Using tweezers I will use the pads as a work area by separating out the individual lash that is going to receive the extension. The extension lash is then placed on to the host lash with a specially formulated bonding agent.

The application takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2hrs and anywhere between 50 to 150 lashes on each eye depending on the size and shape of you eyes together with the look you want to achieve.

Get the most out of your lashes.

To get the most out of your Lash Extensions, you need to follow some simple instructions. The first 24-48 hours are crucial to the bonding procedure:
* No water should contact eyelashes for 24 hours.
* For 48 hours after treatment do not steam face, use steam bath, swim or wash face with hot water.
* Eyelash tinting must be done prior to your Designer Lashes procedure.
* Only use water based mascara on the tips of your lashes, however, you don’t need it and it shortens the life of the extension.
* If you wear mascara on your bottom lashes make sure that it is water based.
* Do not use an eyelash curler or perm the lashes. It will break the eye lashes and/or crease them.
* Do not rub lashes when washing your face – always pat dry after cleansing.
* Do not pull on eyelashes. The bond on the extensions is so strong that it will pull your own eyelash out along with the new ones.
* If you wear eye make-up, a powder based eye shadow is best.
* To remove make-up use an oil free make-up remover avoiding touching the eyelashes.
* Remember creams and oils are the eyelash bonding agent’s worst enemy. Use eye creams sparingly and avoid any oily products.
