Classic Eyelash Extensions:
A method where 1 eyelash extension is applied to 1 natural lash.
This gives a classic lash set a 1:1 ratio.
This style is the original method, and while still a very favored style in the market, it is lacking some strengths for certain individuals.
Classic lashes are perfect for clients who already have a lot of lashes, but want to add more length. Using this method we can not bridge the gaps or add volume and the extensions itself are heavier, application of witch would require stronger healthier natural lashes to support the weight of the extensions. This type of extensions is not appropriate for mature clients or someone with short, brittle natural lashes.
Volume Eyelash Extensions:
(2D-6D) lashes- When multiple lashes are applied to one single natural eyelash individually, isolating one natural eyelash at a time and using very fine eyelash extensions. This method is also known as Russian volume. The lash extensions used in this method are significantly thinner ( Usually a 0.07 diameter lash extension is used) than the lash extensions used for the classic lash method.
Volume lashes are lighter, fluffier and give the client a fuller look. Volume lashes are prefect for clients who don’t have a lot of lashes, have sparse lashes, bald spots or just want a more dramatic look without having to use a thicker lash.
Eyelash Extensions Touchup
Many clients who receive lash extensions often inquire about the timeframe that they should touch up their lashes. We recommend clients to come for lash fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain their new stunning lash look. Although this is the recommended time frame, lash fills often depend on the quality of the client’s aftercare. For instance, some clients maintain their lashes properly by cleaning them regularly, sleeping on their back, and by using lash-friendly products. The clients who take the utmost care of their lashes may not need to come back as often. It also depends on YOUR preferences! Some clients prefer mini-touchups weekly while others prefer a much longer fill once every 2-3 weeks.
Eyelash Extension FAQ
This is a common question asked frequently and the answer is – Not if you go to a certified and experienced lash artist. Correct application and good care of your lashes after the application will insure the health of your natural lashes.
Yes! Our hair, which includes our lashes, goes through a cycle of three stages called Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. Anagen is the growing stage, Catagen is the intermediate stage and Telogen is the shedding stage. If you see an extension fall of with a natural lash attached, it means a new lash is coming in! Which is also why its important to get your lashes filled every 2-3 weeks so your set looking nice and full as your natural lashes go through their cycle.
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas. It has a pungent, distinct odor and may cause a burning sensation to the eyes, nose, and lungs at high concentrations. Formaldehyde is naturally produced in very small amounts in our bodies as part of our normal, everyday metabolism and causes us no harm in these small amounts. At home, formaldehyde is produced by cigarettes and other tobacco products, gas cookers, and open fireplaces. It is also used as a preservative in some foods, such as some types of Italian cheeses, dried foods, and fish. Formaldehyde is found in many products used every day around the house, such as antiseptics, medicines, cosmetics, dish-washing liquids, fabric softeners, shoe-care agents, carpet cleaners, glues and adhesives, lacquers, paper, plastics, and some types of wood products. You are exposed to small amounts of formaldehyde in the air. It occurs from both natural and human-caused sources, although combustion is the largest source. If you live in an unpopulated area, you may be exposed to about 0.2 parts per billion (ppb) of formaldehyde in the air outdoors. In suburban areas, you may be exposed to about 2 to 6 ppb of formaldehyde. If you live in a heavily populated area or near some industries, you may be exposed to 10 to 20 ppb. You may also be exposed to higher levels of formaldehyde during rush hour commutes in highly populated areas because it is formed in automobile and truck exhaust. Eyelash adhesives do not contain formaldehyde as a base ingredient, however ultra low amounts of formaldehyde naturally occur as the byproduct of the main ingredient and are released as the adhesive degrades over time. Because of this naturally occurring degradation, there is currently no adhesive on the market that is formaldehyde free. However, you are exposed to a very minimal amount (lower exposure than most products you are using on a day to day basis) and it is for a very short period of time.
Mink lashes come from the Siberian Mink or Chinese Mink. They aren’t commonly used because of ethic reasons, they are brittle and don’t hold a curl and much more expensive. Faux mink and faux silk lashes are most commonly used. They are made of a poly-fiber blend and come in different curls, lengths and diameters, they hold a curl and are designed to mimic mink natural lashes.
